Hajre. of St. Ann's Roman Catholic Church, charged with having whipped Frank Cassasa. a little 5 year -old pupil at tbe parochial schools, attracted even a greater crowd to the Court of General Sessions yesterday thsn bad been ta attendance on th previous day. Tba reverend defendant was represented by ex -Jadge John K.

Porter. Frederick R. Couiert, and David MeClura, wbll th proseentloa was conducted by Assistant District Attorney Lyon. Tbe court-room was crowded to lronveuiecee, every foot of space being occupied. Father Hayes sat In ths centre of a group of Roman Catholic clergymen.

Including ChsDeellor Preston and Fr'her Lynch of st. Ann's Church, wbll within the railing, daring tbe greater portion of the proceedings, sat District Attorney Phelps and Assistant District Attorney Rollins, yessra Louts I Delafield nnl Fellows Jenkins represented the complainants the Hociety for tho Prevention of Cruelty to Children. After the opening of the court Assistant District Attorney Lyon called Dr. James W. Rauney, of No.

17 East Forty-sixth-street, consulting physielan to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Childroi. He that 1 on the 5th ult. he examined the hoy Frank Caesacza, and found an abrasion of the rim of the loft ear, and black and blue spots behind the organ he found blaek and blue lines oa the left arm and across the back, and was of opinion thst thsy were tbe of blows InSlrUid by a cowhide throe days before. In cross examination Dr. Kanoey admitted that be-f yrt his examination of the ixy, Offlcor Lcndberg had told him that Father Hajei was charged with having wbipp'd Lim with a cowhide on the 2d ult.

The cowhide with wblsh Father Hayes admitted ho had struck Frank CsKsacza on the hands, but nut on tne head or shooldrrs, wss here produced by Mr. Lyou aud promptly admitted in evidence by tbe defense. It is a litiie about as large as a lady a riding-whip. Mr. Lyon here closed the ease for the peopts.

Mr. McClnre, In opening for tbe defense, condemned the action of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children throughout the procec Hnga acalnn'l Father Hares. The first witness called for the defense was Michasl Cannon, a boy of 10, a pnpll at 8t. Ann's Pr.roch's' Schools, who that on the afternoon of the 2d nit. Frank Cassacza and five other boys were called tiefore tbe desk of Miss Campbell, the teacuer Father Hayes, whom Misi Laiupl-ell had male complains of the boys, ordered Frank Cassacza to take off his jacket; be then strnek Frank an another nor on the handt with a eownlde.

and aent them with the other boys to theirsests finding that Frsck had not taken Jff bis jacket. Father Hayes compelled bim to do so. whereupon Frank burst out crying at the command of Fatuer Hayes, nk knelt en the floor, held up his open hands, and Father Hayes then struk him several times on the palms Frsjk orled aloud, ana Father Hayes told hlui to go srk to his seat and be a better oy in the future. Th- testimony of Cannon was corroborated by Joan Devine, aged 9, also a pupil in St. Ann schools.

Miss Annie Campbell, teacher of the class to Fran Cassacza belonged, swore that she had no reason to believe that Father Hayes bad punished bim any more seveiely than the other boys. Father Hayes, the reverend defendant, then took tbe stand, and testified that on the -'d nit. he vu told by one of the sters tbat a boy in the second class had been playng truant and ought to be punished wben the boys were before him he ordered Frank, wno had been a persistent offenaer. to U.ke oh his Jacket, because he desired to impress upon him and the other boyi complained of the idea that they would receive more severe punishment than slapping on the palm of the band after he bad given the older boys two or three slaps each on the hands. Miss Campbell Interceded for them, and he desisted.

Frank, however, had not obeyed tbe order to take off hla jacket, and It beimt necessary to enforce obedience, the order was repeated the boy then took off hla jacket, and kneeling down held out his open palms, crying meanwhile; after he had lnilloted two or three blows c.n ths boys hands taking eare that the eowhide went up no fnrtner than his wrists, he took pity on tbe little fellow, who looked so dim in ative and wretched, and stopped he then sent Frank to nil seat arid left the room. In answer to the questions of Mr. Lyon, Father Hayes said that a rule existed in St. Ann schools that no corporal punishment thould be in-Acted, but he was not Informed of the rule when he took charge he understood that no eorpora' pnulsh-ment had been administered prior to his taking charge; he mlbt bare strask the boy on the hack twlee with the eowhide, but had no recollection of so doing. Minnie Kuhne.

a girl of 13. who lives In the same bouse with the Cassacra family, testified that four days before the alleged whipping by Father Hayes she bad seen Mrs. Caataaza cruelly beat Frank with a clothes line on the head and back. Mrs. Ssrah MaKlernan, who also lived in tbe same house, swore that she bad frequently seen Mrs.

Cassacza and her daughter beat litt Frank cruelly with their clinched fists. After a little testimony In rebuttal, concerning the nature of the boy whippings at home, the rsso was closed on both sides, and after the motion of counsel for the defense for an acquittal had been denied by Jndge Olldersleeve, Mr. oudert summed up the ease for the defense, and Assistant District Attorney Lynn for the prosecution. Jndc Ollder-sleeve then charred, and the jnry, after an hour's deliberation, returned a verdict of not guilty. The announcement of the verdict was received by the spectators with much applause.

Father Hayes was warmly congratulated by his clerical friends, the Judge, and the officers of the court. THE UXirERSITT CLUB'S BOUSE. OPENING THE DOORS AND INFORMALLY TAKING POSSESSION.

Sterne iw I it wss then supposed that railways would be aialy used for pasaencer transportation, and no one dreamed that the freight traffic would be of any va'. ic to them, or that they w.mld compete with the c.i caper methods of conveyance by water routes. Thi growth ofthc railway system within the psst ye rs, since the passage of the general railway acts of 0, was beyond precedent in the nan el si hlstorv of 1 be world. In New Y'rk State had 71 miles of rail; In 1876,5.5.0. In 1815 tbe mileage in he I'nited States was4.fi.13; in 177 it was 77.0O( with a nominal capital of about In 1 15 the capital represented by the New-Y rk railways was flH.OOO now tne capital stoc 1 and debts are about $500.

except an illusory responsibility to its stockholders' interests. It controlled or Influenced 1 a large measure the press and the IirjjU. lature. and even determined at times the rtunn. .1 of State Go 'eminent.

Here he would disclaim fir hlia-self and foi those whom he any personal feeling sgs nst the men who control the great trunk lines thfii quarrel was with tbe system with the crown, and not with the bead that wears It. Mr. Sten submitted tables of statistics showing the relativ. I greater Increase of trade and population in New York for the decades from to 1 soo than is shown since thit period, and truced it to the di rrimination of New-York trunk line roads sgali itt New-York in competing with other linos term nsting at Boston. Philadelphia, and Baltimore.

also presented statistics to show that while New i'ork has iost in these respects, the cities just named have gained in an incroai-ed ratio. He called atte itlon to the fact, as an instance of dis-criminatiot that New-York's milk supply mnst come wttnin a ra lins of lio miles, and that because tbls cireumstan 'e gives the companies a monopoly, they harge freight rates on milk equal to cents per 1 pounds for those distances, or equal to train in a single night, being a rate of 1 eent per uart. At the same time they will bring 100 pound of freight through from hlcao for UO, SO. or 40 ents. as the case may be.

in deference to through comwtitlve rotes. Samuel lioodman. Assistant General Freight Agent of tl New-York Central Railroad, was sworn and exaint led as the flrt witness. He said he had been 20 y- in railroad service. He produced a large number of printed freignt schedules of the ta es which have existed on tbe New-York Cer.

V. That is to say you carry all thir classes at 8 cents per 1 1'J leas ibaa the lowest tariff rate offtred to the public I mean for these two Arms. A. Yes. Sir; there, are more than two tlrros that hav.

hterne had Drovd, and when the lime earr.e the coin puny would justify its eonrse in making their special contracts. But 'hey certainly would protest against the right of the counsel or the power ot 'he to compel a disclosure of the details of their privato contracts with customers in various parts of this State. Mr. Sterne made a vigorous speech to tho committee, ia which he thanked Mr. Depew for his candor in admitting that which was being proved by the company's unwilling witness.

Bnt he maintained that already the testimony had developed one of the most important questions in connection with the abuses of this system, and that this committee was entitled to know why one citizen of this State was favored by this great corporation, whose power and existence and franchises were derived from the people to the exclusion or disadvantage of any other citizen. Mr. Depew replied hotly, charging that this aspect of the inquiry wai purely personal, and was aimed at Mr. of Syracuse, pursly through the business of Mr. Thurber.

wno was unable to compete with bim. Mr. Sterne denied that it had any such object, and said he hoped the committee would check the inquiry whenever it took personal form The name of Mr. Crouse was only drawn -ot through his (Mr. Sterne sj knowledge of the facts respecting bis con tracts, and lcause the witness at rtrst denied thnt any special rates to Syracnse existed.

Chairman Hepburn said this committee had been raided in consequence of tbe strong sentiment of thn public on the suhlects which the committee was authorized to inquire Into. It began with no narrow or personal motive, and. so far ss he knew, the members composing it bad not, in a single instance, sougiit the appointmentv It certainly could not lend itseif to any personal ends. and. on the other hand, personal considerations could i.ot be permitted to limit the scope of its inquiry.

After some further discussion. Mr. Depew said that, in order to raise the question, he wonld now decline to produce the bioks calied for. Tbe committee shortly afterward adjourned until IO o'clock this morning. They will meet to-morrow in executive session, at clock, to consider Mr.

Hepew'a lefusal. but there is every reason to believe that they will compel the prodnetion of these contract-books as they were distinctly called for by the kubp i na. or that tostimouy will be given to cover the ground fully.
