A regular meeting of the Rochester branch of the state charities aid Association was held in tbe city clerk's otSee last evening, Dr. Dean presiding. The main business before the meeting was to bear and consider the reports of the various committees.

But two of them were submitted in writing and from these we are permitted to make extracts The committee on adult Able-bodied pan -pers reported That visits were made by members of this committee to tbe Monroe county alms house on tbe 23d and 27th inst. and from careful inquiry of the officers in charge, who were very courteous and obliging, and personal inspection, the following facts were gleaned In the female department of the institution, the names of but four females were given to the committee as belonging to the class or sonic aoie- nexuea paupers. i nree of this number were sent from Ibis city tbe other one has been, until recently, a resident of Syracuse. One twenty-six years of Age, two Uurty-two years And one seventy-one years of age. All healthy and able to work.

In tbe male department the names of forty- Luree were oouunea oi Ages ranging from seventeen years to eighty-three years. Of this number three were between seventeen end twenty years of age, six between twenty and thirty years, two between thirty end forty years, eight between And fifty four between fifty and sixty years, ourteen between sixty and seventy years, three between serentv and eisrhtv vears and two aged eighty-one and eighty-three years respectively. Of this number All are able to perform some labor. But two Are strong sad in good health, the remainder are more or less enfeebled from age, injuries, intemperate habits or disease. They Are neither hospital subjects nor in the enjoyment of full bodily beaJth and vigor.

And Derhana would mors properly belong to a class denominated in army parlance, convalescents. Tneir nativity is as follows: Irish twenty-two, English five, German four, American seven, French one, Russian one. Welch one. Dan ish one, Canadians five. The visits Above described only strwigthen the impression stated, end quite fully discussed At A former meeting, viz: That A large proportion of tbe inmates of our Alms bouse are able to earn their living, if suitable employment could be furnished them.

submitted, A. MA.2fDEva.LE, Chairman of com. Rochester, Dec S9, 1873. The report of the committee on insane Asylum embodied the following facts And suggestions: Tbe visitors of the south hall renort the number of insane females as fortv-five. Of these twenty-seven are from the city, fifteen from the county, and three are independent, or supported by friends.

Twenty-four are Irish, six Germans, two English and thirteen Americans. The suggestions made by the visitors are that "these unfortunate onea should be well cared for, that more inviting spoons And tin ware should be provided for tneir meals, and butter given them onoe A day. Breakfast is at 8 a. m. dinner at p.

m. only two meals. Lunch, which con sisted of a slice of bread, has been dispensed with for awhile. Tbe ball is too crowded. lsitor in the basement, men's deDart- ment, reports ten males.

These Are chr on rases of insanity, two having been in the institution since 1857, sixteen years, two since lxl, thirteen years end the rest Admitted At various times since 1870. Thev are the lowest And most degraded cases. And so cemented as to be very filthy And de structive. In three cases injuries were the cause of insanity, while in seven the cause is mi Known. Ages vary irom seventeen years to sixty-five.

Five are Roman Catholics. three Protestants, one no religion and one unknown. Crime And "intemperance were tbe cause ot tbe present condition of one who eleven years oi Age was sent the bouse of refuse, later to the penitentiary, subsequently two terms Auburn state orison. where he became insane four havinsr for crime been sent to the asylum, the house of refuge or the penitentiary. Might not prison discipline or insanity have been the cause of the crimes Suggestions were made that larger apart ments above ground, an adequate number of attendants and An abundant supply of water would render the condition of this class less distressing.

Ventilation is madequa'e and tne bnsement in whicu tbey are confined is unsuitable for occupancv. Dr. and Mrs. Lord svfforded everv facility necessary for tbe visitation. The difficulties Attenomg tne care or tne insane must be Apparent to all.

Visitors of the committee for the almshouse report tbe wards quite comfortable. In the femaie department division number 4, number 15 has seven inmates. Two Are simple; All past middle age and not in robust health. use 1 rotes tan four Koman Catholics, Number 16, all tbe occupants, four in num ber, are simple or insane. Visitor for 50, 53 and 55, reports the inmates among the most comfortable in tbe institution.

Manyarecon-val'-scent and appear happy and contented. All can read and received tne reading matter witn inanKTiiiness. xne apartments were nest And tidy, well ventilated and more bright and cheerful owing to the newlv whitened walls. Most of tnem were convalescent. Intemperance the remote or im mediate cause of their misfortune and a disregard of religion, are equally ruitful sources of their miseries.

isitor of number and 4o renorts eleven beds in tbe hospital ward one vacated by death the mgbt previous And waiting the disposition of friends. ATI convalescent but one, lately sent from Churchville. Number 47 contained eight beds; aged men's ward Intemperance tbe cause of the present condition of All except one. And great care bas to be exercised iu allowing them to go from the grounds. Ihe wards looked very comfortable And cleanly.

Mr. Loder, as usual, was very ready to give any information desirsd. These two reports gave rise to considerable discussion, valuable as tending to tbe discovery of just what defects exist in our county charitable institutions It was agreed on All hands thAt the officials in barge. Dr. Lord of the insane Asylum And Mr." Loder of tbe almshouse were doing all in their power for the health and comfort ef the persons in Institutions.

Dr. Ely, the younger, pointed out very clearly that the insane asylum was over crowded a stAte of things which necessitated the confinement of part of the patients in the basement. Here puie air was not to be had. Several ladies urged also, that but two meals a day, which compelled a fast from o'clock in tbe Afternoon till 8 or 9 the next morning were not enough. It was also stat ed that this arrangement had not been ordered by tbe superintendent.

The sugges tion wss made that the supervisors ought to furnith more room or else send part of the insane to other asylums. This brought out Henry E. Rochester, who stated that the insane asylum was under the immediate control of trustees who were honorable And high-minded men. Whatever they asked the board granted. The latter body hAd expended Urge sums on the institution of late.

And was besides that paying bills continually for tbe care of our insane At Utica, Ovid and Auburn. Tbe committee on out door re lief reported that An organisation had been effected in every ward ot the city, and that very great good had already re sulted. The overseer of tbe poor had been especially Aided in detecting im posters, And less of tbe deserving poor were bable to be neelected. Tne committee on tne Jail reported tnrougn one of their number, a lady who bas visited the Institution for thirteen years, thnt it was never kept in better order, or even in as stood condition as now. This was due to the care And management of the Jailor, Mr.

Beekwith, and his excellent wife. The lady criticised tbe plan on which the building ia constructed, as preventing ventiuv tion And as giving bat one room or ball in which the prisoners can congregAte when not locked is the cells. This threw first offenders And those young in crime into the society of the more hardened criminals. And was therefore A school of de pravity. She alao saw tbe evil of confining men for long months or even year in jail be fore their trial was reached.

Tbe next regular meeting of the association will take piece on the last Thursday in January. This will Also be the annual meet ing. In this connection we may state that the object of the society is not so much to criti cise or inveigh Against existing defects as to work quietly tor their gradual removal. This view was very clearly expressed by Dr. Dean in A conversation subsequent to the meeting.

Tbe quieter the organisation did its work the more likelihood was tnere fa his opinion ot its effecting permaeeut forma Tbe wisdom of this view of a most important subject will strike every thought ful Derson who has reflected upon tneaun eulues which surrouAiS any Attempt to smellorats Uie condition of the poor And tbe There ia no question that the FOR THEJEJOLlDAYs or all etzK at rSMILr, Pt U-IT AI rocta-r.

WOODBI-KT. stOBS B5. THE SCHOOL STA0K And IPS sad LADIES' 8TATI0SERT REPJ I1 AilTHwT Hire's Rwll-h At CLARIS JufiASI, a7 tee jotige. Toe jury retired at 11 :30 end Afterward tbe court took a recess unta five o'clock. At tbe hour appointed the Jadge were ia their seats and tbe court room aexsHwy pAcarea.

The Jury came out for snore instructions, And hnving received taesn. Again retired, when the court took another recess till half-past eight. The Jury came in At half past 8 o'clock lest night. The c-jurt-room was crowded. bat no one Imagined thAt a verdict had been reached.

It was whispered, however, thAt snore of them were for conviction than when tbey first retired. The defendant, Stephen ColemsB, had a1 ready been brought into court. His face was slightly flushed, And there troubled took in his eyes. The clerk asked the foreman of the jury. James WAgstAff, if they had Agreed upon their verdict, and the latter Answered nnve.

Tbe cltrk Is your verdict gnilty or not guilty The foreman Guilty. inere was no perceptible change in the countenance of Coleman as this short but fatal word fell on his ear, except thAt the troubled look grew more perceptible. The clerk tben polled the Jury And each signified bis Assent to the verdict tnstnet-Attorney Kernes Arose end said that in moving sentence, he wished to pre sent a request from Meters. Burke Co. who had Appeared in the light of prosecu tors, thst the penalty be made as light possible.

iie Also wished personally to second tbe request, And he was certain from his knowledge ef the sentiments of the Jurors that they concurred fully in tbe petition for mercy. The verdict was a vindication of the law. It effect would be to destroy in the city of Rochester the practice of receiving stolen goods. As such, he was glad of the verdict. And with this the prosecution was satisfied.

The foremen of the Jury rose to say. briefly, but as quietly and earnestly as the verdict had been given, that they petitioned tbe court to exercise leniency in the sen tence. John M. Davy, cf counsel for staled that they intended to make applica tion for a new trial and he, therefore, hoped that sentence would be deferred till a bill of exceptions could.be prepared. He ssked that sentence be deferred At least till the next morning.

J. Cochrane Also arose to ask for a more extended stay. It would require longer time to make np a case. Judge Fuller The difficulty About that is thAt the term of one of the justices is abo'it to expire. Mr.

Cochrane It does not expire till after the 1st of January. The court The time expires December SL Mr. Cochrane If we have till that time it will be sufficient. Mr. Davy Will your honor give us at least til to-morrow morning? Judge Fuller The court yields so far as to defer sentence tfll 9 'clock to-morrow morning, with the understanding that it is not disposed to make a postponement beyond that time.

District-Attorney Raines The prisoner will of course be committed till then. Mr. Cochrane I suppose not. He is at liberty on bail to the Amount of 10, 000. The district-attorney I believe the re- sponfcibil ty of bail terminates with conviction.

Mr. Cochrane Not At All. But Coleman will be here. There need be no fear of that. District-Attorney Raines I have taken some pains to look into the matter, And find thAt tha responsibility of bail ends At this point.

Judge Fuller He la now in the custody of the court, And isn't the responsibility of bail then terminated The district-attorney explained that the form of the bond in this county was peculiar like those of no other oounty in the state. He bad satisfied himself of the non-liability of bail After conviction of the defendant. Judge Fuller- That being so, I think shall hAve to order him in custody till morning, though I regret the necessity. Mr. Davy Cannot An officer be appointed to take charge of him? District -Attorney Raines That is A matter for the sheriff to Arrange.

The court then ordered the sheriff to take Coleman in his charge. Judge Fuller thanked the jury for the steadiness of their Attendance And for their attention to the business which came before them. He said he sbould not discharge them till morning. The clerk Announced tbe court adjourned tin 9 o'clock this morning. Fart of the throng remained to get A glance At Coleman as he was removed by Under Sheriff Campbell.

The verdict created intense surprise, as it was supposed the jury would either Acquit or not Agree. Of the personnel of the jury, nothing can be said but what is favorable. Coleman's able counsel Admitted the exceDenoe of its members when the trial began. There can therefore be no other conclusion than that the evidence was so clear and overwhelming as to admit of no doubt of the defendant's guilt. The statutes of this state make the offense of which Coleman has been convicted, punishable by imprisonment in a state prison for a term not exceeding five years, or in A coun ty jail not exceeding six months, or by a fine not exceeding 250, or by both such fine and imprisonment.

THE HGLLf WAT Eli WORKS. Went ta Bel us Dese Tswsrs Testinc the 11 A IJeicetive Mala Dtseeveree. Bicce it has been stated that a formal trial and test of tbe Holly water works would take place to-day, we have taken pains to learn if such were the fact, and have been advised by competent Authority that the Announcement was somewhat premature. It is true that some preliminary tests of the machinery and pipes have been made And will be continued, but no day can now be named with certainty for the general open ing, Although It cannot be very distant. The contract test win be applied as soon as possible, and as the public may not know what that is, we will state that it is required to throw twenty fire streams to A height of 100 feet, directly from Any twenty hydrants, through one length of hose, And through A nozzle one inch in diameter.

The hydrants chosen for the teat are to be such only as are not more than fifty feet Above the point of suction of the pumps, which is the level Af the water in Brown's race At the en gine bouse. This relates, practically, to Any hydrant laid in the Holly system in any part of the city. This will be sufficiently severe to demon strata tbe stability of tbe pipes and hydrants for general use by the fire department dur ing the winter. Tbey will be subjeoted to A pressure of 150 pounds to the squsre inch. while the ordinary fire pressure will be About 100 pounds, only.

The grand display tobe made at some fu ture time will consist of tbe vertical dis charge of a column of water three Inches in diameter to the height -of 300 feet, which will take place at the comer of West Main and StAte streets. This, however, is not In cluded in tbe contract, And will probably be deferred until spring. It is intended merely to convey an idea of the power of the ma cbinery, which is equal to thAt of vao borses. It is deemed inexpedient to Attempt this At the present time, since the pressure required is so greet tnet leaks would in all probability nraduced. which it would be more than oidinarilr difficult to repair At this season.

About 4 o'clock yesterdAy Afternoon the large force main which passes under the race was tested with A pressure of 10S pounds to the square inch. A stop gate aecieentAllT left open And tbe water was forced into the mainJnMill street. which it was not intended to teat at the time. The ootoseqnenee was thst A leak was discovered At a point midw Ay between Flatt end Furnace streets. Tbe pavement And earth for A distance of twelve or fifteen feet was thrown np and a large volsme of water gushed forth.

A force of men were set At work Immediately to remove the defective After excavating to A deptn About ten feet it was found that one section of the main bad been fractured lougituainsiiy. tbe break extending in A spiral form from one end to the other. The plAoe where this niue was laid was one of the most nnfavor for rood work on the entire route. Tbe trench had been oner ried several feet through the sjli4 rock, and tbe men bad to carry on their elations in very cold weather. The pipe New Year!

JatreN. J. Mssooner va Juhn Lai Jndmenti Tv-sTftsr-d saam! new brtai ntssd, w. t. s.44 ovaucv new rvo-v Conclusion of the Tria! THE CHARGE TO THE JURY.

A VERDICT OF CUILTY. Sentence JPfMf trff 9 (Tcioef; This Morning. The court room was cued At An early hour yesterday morning, as it was onderstood Judge Fuller would deliver his charge to the Jury in regard to the Coletnao ease on tbe opening of court. The case has occasioned mucb interest during the two weeks it has been on trial, and every day the court room has been well filled with listeners. Yester day, however, was filled to oversowing every test was filled and aislea and doorwAys peeked with those who were interested enough to stand during the proceedings.

Shortly After 10 o'clock the jury took their seats and the clerk called tbe court to order. After the usual formalities. Judge Fuller arose and Addressed tbe jury for more than An hour. The following is a sketch of the charge: In the outset the judge remarked that the trial had occupied so long a time And such a mass of evidence had been Adduced that he would not Attempt to go over it in detail, but would present some considerations for the guidance of the jury in their deliberations. Tbe substance of the charge brought by the people Against tbe defendant, was that on the 10th of March, Dennis and Daniel Connors stole five bars of iron from the yard of Burke carried it around to Mr.

Coleman's store, sold it to him, and that he re ceived it knowing it to have been stolen. Upon that charge he was being tried, And it was for the jury to decide whether or not he was guilty of the crime charged In the indictment. The charge resolved itself into three branches I irst The allega tion that Daniel and Dennis Connors stole iron from the premises of Burke Co. Second That they carried it Around And sold it to Mr. Coleman Third Thst he received the iron, knowing it to have been stolen.

The burden of proof was upon the side of the people, And the jury must satisfy themselves beyond the shadow of a doubt in regard to All the propositions or branches of the charge. Tbe defence claimed that they were All false. From the necessity of tbe case, tbe two Connor boys were the principal And ma terial witneeeea to make this charge. In the recollection of the judge, there was no direct testimony of any other witness who saw the boys carry out the iron. It was contended.

therefore, on the part of tbe defence, that the evidence of these boys was unworthy of credit. In the first place, they testified to their own infamy and were impeached by their own testimony. It was also claimed by the defense that it was not safe to convict a person on tbe testimony of an accomplice. The law on that point was that if the jury believed it to be true they might convict, but it was unsafe to do so, and they should as a rule require full corroboration. The defense had produced witnesses to prove the bad reputation of the boys.

And the prosecution hAd in turn tried to substantiate their good character. The jury was to make decision. And in determining upon the subject were to take into consideration All the facts bearing upon it. The defense claimed it as unsafe to convict a nu of the standing of the defendant upon such testimony. but upon the other hand it was claimed that tbe evidence of the boys was false their stories could not so closely Agree.

Another ahum of the defense was that the evidence of the boys was not only false but that they had been suborned to perjure themselves by Burke Co. in order to pro cure a conviction. The prosecution contend ed thnt Burke Co. took no steps Against Coleman until they found And recognised the iron and After they found it did nothing but try the title to it. They were ignorant of the boys And their whereabouts.

And when they did find them, instigated process Against them. Not until then it is claimed did they take any steps against Coleman. Tbe jury must decide what there was to the claim of conspiracy on the part of Burke Co. in order to ruin the defendant And get hold of his property. It made no difference other iron had been received by Coleman unless the jury were certain as regards the particular five bars a conviction was impos sible, and the prisoner should be Ac quitted.

The eleven bars of iron found on the 1-th of March threw no light upon the case which conoemed the five bars. And the only bearing that such fact had, if Any, was that it was claimed by defense that they were marked and put there to carry out tbe design of bringing the charge against Coleman. If it was proven that the beys did steal iron on previous occasions and carry it to that place, it was no proof that they stole the five bars And had no bearing upon tbe question and it was admitted only as it had a bearing upon the question of guilty knowledge. If it was shown that the five bars bad been rtolen And taken to Mr. Cole- and he Lad bought them, that fact ould constitute no offense unless he had bought them with the knowledge that they bad been stolen.

If the testimony of tbe boys thst Coleman said they must go Awsy: thAt Burke St Co. smelt a mice etc was believed it went to show guilty knowledge. Tbe judge repeated substantially what he had previously said upon the subject of conviction upon the testimony of Accomplices, and spoke at considerable length upon the differ ent brands of iron Irondale, Dry Valley, etc. and stated that it had been shown that some cf the brands kept by Burke Co. were found in the cellar of Coleman, which the former had attempted to identify as be longing to him.

It was a difficult task to distinguish between brands of iron, bat Burke Co. had not only pretended to do that, but also to identify the iron found as theirs. If they could not identify the par ticular five bars it amounted only to the fact that iron of tbe same brand as theirs was fouLd in Coleman's cellar. The defense claimed and had brought witnesses to prove that Burke or Any one else could not identify iron In thAt manner, end that Burke was carried away with bis zeal to convict the prisoner There were some seven or eight tons of iron found in Coleman's cellar of which between four and five tons was of the Dry Valley brand and 1,000 or 1,300 pounds of Irondale. The claim was that six or seven tons must hsve been received in the cellar in January or February as it was shown there was but little there at the 1st of January.

Prosecution claimed it was put there between the 10th of February and the 11th of March following. The fact that iron was thus found there does not prove that the fire particular bars were found there and goee farther tnsn to Show guilty knowledge. The defendant had not shown bow be came by all of the iron found there and on thnt account the district-attorney Asked the Jury to infer guilt. Whether the inference could be dre wn or not not a question for Iaw but for tbe Jury to Oociae. ins juage then spike At some length on Iron found in tbe canal and the maimer in which tbe jury must oonsider the evidence presented on thst subject.

Tbe fact that the delendeot nnd not been placed upon the stand In bis own defense was then touched upon. Because such was the case tbe jury were not to draw Any iuft-rrnCe Against lbs prisoner. In the opinion of the court the stAbate Allowing an accused man to testify in his own defense was a cruel one And in spirit, if not in letter, was uneocstiluUatial. No witnesses hsd been brought forward to prove previous good character of accused, but this also should not be used against him. With these remarks the judge would leave the ease with the jury.

Tbey could see the importance of it as shown by tbe interest It bad excited. They most lay aside all prejudice on tbe one band; And all sympathy on tbe other. The question, with them simply way to decide whether did receive tbe five bars of iron knowing they hsd been stolen from Burke Co. If they so found tbey must bricg in A verdict of conviction, but if on the other hand tbey coula not sat JsfT themselves that such was the case they must ao.uit him. At tbe conclusion of the charge the counsel for both defence sad proseoeUon present ed proposiuoos upon which they wished the saris foe evue-j.

Yesterday morning Coroner Biwell of Oen-eto, in the oompsny of the sheriff of the c-octy snd a physician, visited the bouse in Csbawaugus, where the body of Mias Bonney has lain for about seven weeks. And made An examination of the remaina. The people in srose care the bedy is made no resistance ta the wishes of the authorities, And A complete external enuninktioa was therefore made. Tliey, of course, st once pronounced the Ixsly dead, but thiey could discover no appar- ut cause of death. No trace of any Act of violence could be found.

And hence the ooro- cur thought hei hau no power to take tl body into i his care. Decomposition 1 as advanced yery far, And the body it claimed, aoj as represented to us by a ettk-man who came down from Avon last evening, is a putt id mass. In external ap -IwArance it continues About the same as it Las for some time past, being but little thrucken And preserving tbe same dark roli-r. After making the examination the coroner and party returned to Geneseo without taking charge of the remains as they should have done. The family claim that they will keeo the remains as they have previously dene even though they now present ought but a horrible mass of decayed ha man tVh.

Without doubt the authorities will tke some fujrtbc-r steps in the matter And tlistsoon. BarS Pahlie arks. The board held a regular meeting yesterday. A resolution was presented by Com.
