8 II TIMES IS EMO. The Americans Visiting the Lions of the City. MUSEUM AND ART SCHOOL. Opening of the Exhibition of Sample Goods. PRESIDENT DIAZ' ADDRESS.

City or Mexico, Jan. 24, 1879. Tlia viait of tlia American Industrial Deputation to this city continued to be a most enjoyable one and promises to bear fruit in a profitable development of trade between Mexico ami tbo Uuited States in their respective special productions and manufactures. Although tlie party is maimy composed of business people there is a sulHcieut number of thorn who know bow to combine business with pleasure, for "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." The lturbide Hotel, Calle do Ban Francisco, where most of the American party are domiciled, contains 170 rooms, all of which have been recently renovated and refurnished in anticipation of this visit. The building is quite an imposing structure, and encloses two noble courts, which form in the noonday heat pleasant promenade areas for those who do not indulge in the It was built by the Marquis of San Mateo Valparaiso, in the eighteenth century at a great cost.

This lioblomau sold it to the Marquis of Moncuda. -During the reign of Iturbido as Emperor of Mexico it acquired tho name of "The House of the Emperor," and was occupied by him as a residence, honor Iturhe is the present proprietor. There are several other good hotels in the city, whore some of our excursionists are staying. One, the San Carlos, in the Calle del Colisco, is in the same block and owned by the same proprietor as tho lturbide Hotel; the Gran Bociedad, tho Gual, the San Augustiu, the Hefugis and the Bazar, all of which give very respectable accommodation. VISITING THE LIONS.

Of course our party has made tho rogular tour of the city, inspecting tho public buildings and interesting institutions. Among these is the Musco Nacional, situated in the Palace block, and which is filled with interesting antiquities of all ages, from the remote days of Aztec magnificence to those of the Conquest. Groups of Americans stood around the great sacrificial stone, and the statue of the Aztec god of war, which form, perhaps, the greatest attractions of a very reuiarkable collection. There are marks in pottery and stone that remind one of the Assyriun or early Orcek efforts of the sculptor. Curious manuscripts in hieroglyphics that must puzzle the most learned archaeologists; implements and weapons in flint and obsidian; armor of the men of Cortez, banners, pikes, swords and shields of workmanship.

There arc aztec drawings of tlio site of the capital which show that the art of surveying was not unknown to these people; idols of hideous form and expression, suggesting horrible and bloody religious rites; mummies from the graves of an almost forgotten race, the spoils of tumuli and a thousand other peculiar things that would enrich any museum, and which are here very intelligently cared for by the attendants. In the departments of zoology, comparative anatomy, mineralogy, botauy, tho arrangements are very line. Indeed, I doubt if many European or American museums are so well planned and stocked, to use an expression almost impious, with wonders of nature and art. THE SCHOOL OF ABTS. The visit to the School of Arts was one of the most agreeable made by the Americans, and caused not a little surprise among them, for they were not aware of the extent to which art is fostered in Mexico.

The art of painting in this country may bo said to have 0 had its birth early in the seventeenth century, although previously there were those who aspired to the title of artists, liultasar Echave and Salazar were the first who merited the title, audof the former there are paintings in the ''Academy" dated 1C12, and of the latter dated 1G05. From the commencement of the seventeenth century up to the year 1x50 painting has been protected almost entirely by the Church, and as a natural result, the subjects treated itave been of a religious character. Since 1X50 the subjects have become more varied. The most distinguished Mexican painters of the eighteenth centnry were Josef Juarez, Nicolas K. Juarez, Juan K.

Juarez, Juan Correo, Antonio Yallejo. Miguel Ccndeias. Manuel Carn, Nicolas llonriijues, Josef Ibarra and Mlquel Cabrera. The latter is most distinguished of all Mexican painters and is claimed to havo been religiously Inspired. Of the artists now living at this capital the most tinted are Munrny, Obicgon, Sanchez, and Casarin.

The latter was a student of Meissonier. Monroy's "Virgil and Dante," Obiogon's "Columbus" and Sanchez's portraits were exhibited at the Centennial at Philadelphia and elicited great praise. Casarin paints upon wood and porcelain, and his pictures command a high price. Mention should also be made of Murrillo, a Mexican artist, who is now in Europe. EXHIBITION or AMKIIICAN SAMPLES.

The best impressions havo apparently been made on the citizens of Mexico and the American visitors by the cordial interchange of courtesies that took place at the palace between President Diaz and the American Industrial Deputation. It was to be expected, therefore, that when the Americans begun to display their sample wares, tho greatest I uteri at would bo taken in them by the Mexicans. Yesterday the exhibition of samples brought by several members of the visiting deputation was formally opened by President Diaz anil ex-Governor JohnK.Fi.sk. Tlic ceremony took place in the Mining School building, the lower floor being dedicated to the exhibition of Auicrieun goods and the upper floor to some agricultural products of Mexico. A large crowd assembled before the building to nee the distinguished otlicials and pernonagen arrivo and to Watch the movements of the Americans.

The utmost order prevailed. In opening tlio exhibition ex-Governor John F. flsk, of Kenlucky, president of the delegation, made the following addrean to I'rosidcnt Diaz, who occupied the position of honor in the hall: MMOmws Visa's AOI-LKHS. Mil. PHKatDKNT--In the mime ot the Americati Industrial Deputation 1 thank you, and through on your Gabtnot Ministers, the Senators and Itvpreseulativen in Onngn-ss, the Governors Of States and the Commissioners sunt by tlieiu Ironi ail parts ot the Kpublie, the learned and distinguished of arts and science? ho have honored this occasion witli their presence, and tliv authorities who have placed this grand sud ediiioe, so superbly and conveniently titled roooive the exhlhils of my countrymen, at our above all, anil more than all, do wo tliank the lailies, one and all, for the distinguished courtesy Shown in meeting with us on this auspicious event.

Nothing i an tail upon which woman looks with approbationupon winch she bestows thoswoctneas of her smiles. our visit will awaki inquiry and stimulate investigation. When our manufacturers learn list Mexico wishes to purchase, thn means el reaching your country and the manner of tiaOing here, such articles as your people den-re to purchase will be speedily supplied, and villi the proceeds derlvotf from sales we will purrliase from Mexico sueli articles and commodities as yoll have to sell; especially will the United States be otn best i-ustoinnr for eoffne and other agricultural products peculiar to your soil and climate. Wo are glad to llnd your uinuul'oclorius of wooUhus, silk and paper are in a high state of perfection and prosperity. only are wanting to open a large and valuable trade between the two nations.

With such com11111 nion1100, your genial climate, grand mountain tienury, lieautitul and piotursaque landscapes, would attract hundreds ot thousands of our travelling and pleasure seeking people during our winter mouths, great numbers of whom would reside permanently among you; and thus two nations, now i.trniigeis and estranged, would become acquaintances and friends. "LOVKLT WO MAX." Whereas we furnished wives lo only a few of your dialiuguiahed more favorable clrcuma: am cs we iniglit hope that a larger number of our Lwaulilul country women might find luvor in tliecyes of the noble sous ot Mu.tioo; and iu return mauy of tnv countryinsn might tluri wives among tlio lovely ml briglit-ejed daughters of tliis hospitable consummation most devoutly to bo desired, ami, if Accou ilicd. would lo 1111 a bond of uulou between NEW the two nations more binding and lasting than treaties founded upon circumstances which are ever changing. KNTLKMKN Of THK COtlUtry lias reason to thank you for the display you make today iu the beautiful capital of Mexico. Doubtless generations to coiua.

as our nation shall continue its grand march across the centuries, will look bark upon yon as national benefactors. You represent industries challenging the inspection and knocking at the of the pcrts of all civilizod countries. Wherever the sails of commerce wliiteu any sea there is found tho American merchant, offering his goods iu competition with those of all other nations. With an energy tireless and sleepless the artisans of America, with an inveutive genius nowhere surpassed, are daily adding new achievements and offering tie in iu the various markets of the world. REASONS WHY.

Mexico la our neighbor; dwelling on the same continent. our shores washed liy the same oceans, living uuder constitutions almost identical in form, and institutions looking to the welfare of the people at large, why should not tho trade and commerce of these people ho reciprocal? We hope that iu the near future and the long hereafter this people will tlud it to tlieir interest to trade mainly with the people of the 1 Tutted States. The goods we have brought we desire to dispose of entirely at wholesale, so as not to iu any manner interfere with the retail trade. We are greatly pleased that the merchants manufacturers of Mexico have nlneed so liinnv exhibits tide by sldo with for the inspection of the deputation. Their excellence we fully comprehend and appreciate.

Again, sir, thanking you all for the great courtesy shown us, I lay before your people the exhibits brought by my countrymen, with the hope that they may receive favorable consideration and candid criticism. reply or tiik president of the republic, Mn. Puesident or tuk Manuealttukkn' Commission or the Northwest or the United States, Gentlemen and Is a sourco of great satisfaction to mo to accept the invitation you have tendered me to inaugurate your dimiuutivo exhibit of North American merchandise brought to this country for the purpose of augmenting the commercial relations existing between our two republics. This testimouy, rendered to poucn, to labor and to progress, highly honors the Association of Manufacturers of the United States, who, comprehending the grand increment of which tho commerce of the Western States is capable, and of which States Chicago may be considered as the metropolis, as well byits advantageous position as by its prodigious growth, without equal in tho annals of tho world, sent you to inaugurate this movement of peace and civilization. Far from your having to thank the government of Mexico for having co-operated in tlie better discliurge of your coiumissiou, by otferiug you tlioseuttentions and facilities which It was due to yield you, the Mexican nation is thankful to you for having come on this noble mission with tho olive ot peace in one hand and the torch of civilization in the other, encountering tho troubles and fatigue consequent upon your journey, and the dangers of a voyage in the Gulf of Mexico, and of the storms that prevail at this season of the year.

Ever siuce she conquered her independence Mexico opened her ports to the trade of the world. "nONKSTY is the best policy." Following up the grand maxim of the great father of your independence, that honesty is tho bust policy, I must state to you that although the fiscal legislation ot this country still labors in part from tho colonial system, and cannot be vuupinomi wi uht uiuni uuvim iu hid nuriu, 11 UHN continued and is continuing a progressive march of liberality, with the view of stimulating the development of commerce, the fountain of the wealth and prosperity of nations. Our constitution ordains that there should be no prohibitions. The list of free of all duties, which haw been increasing day by day, comprises various objects, such as machinery of all classes, in regard to which the remarkuble mechanical improvements in the United States and the favored circumstance of possessing large deposits of iron near to coal is the cause that very tew countries can compete with them. These conditions and the fact of contiguity, with that of Mexico being a mining country and one of vast agricultural and tropical elements, while in the United States manufacturing industry has developed itself in such a prodigious manner, are the reasons that a trade may be opened up between the two countries as lucrative ns it is important, and this will be the efficient means of establishing social, political and even blood relations between the two peoples who occupy the principal pnrt of North America, who are ruled by institutions that arc identical, and who, whatever may be the difficulties under which tlioy have struggled or which they may momentarily labor under, have a grand future before them.

Airnougn Mexico ana me uimeu states are neignboring nations they are, unfortunately, very little known to one another, and in each of them errors and prejudices prevail relative to the other. The step that has been taken by the Manufacturers' Association of the Northwest of your country, by sending you on this mission, will doubtless produce, among other good results, that of dispelling some of the many errors that are entertained in the United States respecting Mexico. We are gratified, therefore, that enlightened, practical and dispassionate men like yourselves should have accepted the trust of making a journey of inspection and study, which it is to.be hoped is the prelude to a great commercial development. MEXICO WILLING. As regards Mexico you will always find her disposed to co-operate in this work of civilization; the generosity anil nobleness of sentiments of her citizens is and she instinctively accepts all that is good.

As regards her government it suffices to say that all the administrations whieh have succeeded each othur since the triumph of the llcpublic over the foreign intervention of 1M07, whatsoever may have been the points of internal policy on which they differed, have strenuously endeavored to establish permanent commercial relations with the United States. Nino linos of foreign steamers trade to the Mexican ports; of these four come from Kurnpean ports and are supported by subsidies from their respective governments or by the profits of their traffic; the other five come from ports of the United States and are supported by a liberal subsidy paid to them by the Mexican Treasury, which, notwithstanding penuries Hnd its impoverishment, consecrates a not very inconsiderable part of its revenuo to sustain those lines of steamers. Without this aid you would not have been enabled to have come from your country to ours by the route and with the rapidity you have done. Thanks to those lines of steamers the trade between the two countries lias somewhat increased, us instead of to which the commerce between the United States and Mexico reached before the war of the intervention it now exceeds THK LADIKM AGAIN. The decree of cnligbtenmunt of all nations inay be measured by the respect that is tributod by them to woman.

The United States form, without doubt, the country where the people give to the fair sex the greatest participation in national life. Kven in this movement which you now inaugurate you have brought with you your noble lady collaborators, your wives and your daughters. Mexico bid them welcome, and eannot demonstrate in terms more eloquent her respect and admiration toward the ladies of the United States than by referring to the same fact that you have been pleased to mention, of some of her citizens having contracted matrimonial ties with women born in tlio United States. Tho ties of blood are thoso that have always been the most effective in promoting mutual regard and good will, and it is to be hoped that the custom now once initiated may continue its natural course. Ill what concerns myself, 1 desire sincerely that the success of your efforts inaugurated to-day may correspond to your expectation and to the wishes of this country, ami that your enterprise inay acquire such a development that the members of the Commission of the Manufacturers' Association of the Northwest of the United States may attain an imperishable name.

The remarks were received with loud applause, and hearty congratulations were exchanged between the assembled Mexicans and Americana on this very auspicious inauguration of the sample exhibition in the City of Mexico.

COMMITTEE. CuicAoo, 111., Feb. 5, 1879. The Euott sub-committee met this morning. I Several witnesses testified tbat A.

C. Hotting bad used violent language regarding Judge lllodgett, and bad threatened to pursue him. Judge lllodgett tea titled that about April 1871. Hosing and Vocko camu to his room and said Yocko had Heaing's note secured by stock for that Heaiug was baukrupt aud judgment would bo disastrous; Vocko said he was not satisfied of Heaiug's insolvency; witnesa told him it was most Important to knowthia; he asked him how much the stock was worth; Vocke thought par; Hesing said it might he worth par to an insider, but not to au outsider, and insiders were unable to buy it; both expressed anxiety to make the best possible sale of notes; witness was accustomed in such cases to offer securities at special sale, according to the law which he here quoted; Hesing agreed that Vucke bail better try to negotiate this note with parties in the habit of dealing in such; after a fall 'conference it was agreed tnat Vocko should satisfy himself regarding llesiug's insolvency and make report; Yoeko was afraid that others who ltad been made to pay in full would censure hiui; witness said nobody could censure hiiu for doing his best; a day or two later Vockc reported that Uesing was insolvent and asked instructions; liusing and Leake came into the chamber; witness thou suggested that Yocke ask bids, and Leake or Yocke produced an order which witness approved; 011 the ltitli of April Vocke reported several bids received, the smallucss of which disappointed both Vocke and witness; witness then called on Mr. Coolbaugh.

the banker, who told him liessing's paper was peculiar; Using was undoubtedly insolvent; the Slaatt-ZnitHxiy was a eloae corporation and tbo stock valuable only to the controlling interest, and, therefore, Vocke would ussuiuc as much responsibility in refusing as accepting these bids; on the next Monday afternoon, no objections being raised, witness confirmed the sale; never had any other conversations with Ucsiug on the subject, nor intimated that he would bo favored; there was no secrecy, nor reason for any, in these proceedings; never knew that liesing had uny interest in the purchase as hnally conhruied, INTEni'EUKNCfi WITH THE It A Nil JURY. As to the Grand Jury, did nothing to prevent the full investigation of ltegistcr Uibhard's office; on tlie day the jury adjourned leane from Bangs of tho perjury indictment; Bangs said he had doubts if it would lie; 1 said milliard's reports wurc made under my construction ut the law, which 1 had given liibliard, and win tlier right or wrong, lie ought not to be indicted, and Bangs should so infocm 111'- jury and if the jury wanted ftirtlier instruction 1 would give it; witness then talked the matter over with Judge Drummond, who agreed there was much force in the witness' interpretation, and said it would bo a great wrong to indict Hibbard under these circuuistunoes; witness sent for Bangs and asked ir no had given the jury the message lie sent; Bungs answered no, that tlic jury had considerable feeling on tlie matter, aud asked, "What if they persist?" Witness then said that Baugs ought to withhold the indictment; later two jurors came to witness and said the jury seemed satisfied and would have gotten through two days sooner had they known witness'construction of the law; had no knowledgo of any special business to etiwo before the jury bol'oro the venires were issued, except the Custom House matter; the jury expenses hail been large, and I had a feeling that there was not tho necessary despatch. NOT INTIMATE WITH HESING. Bid not rocollect that Hesing recommended Voeke for assignee; he may liavo dono so; had said to a grand juror that it was improper for the Grand Jury to cull in lawyers to construe the law for them; although intimate with Hibbard, I never conversed with him 011 these matters; had been careful not to prejudice his mind regarding Hibbard by reading reports regarding his taking illegal fees, as it might come belorc him in a judicial manner; was never intimate with Hesing in any relation whatever; know him as an'energetic politician; knew him to be insolvent in 1874 rrom judicial proceedings ih his court, but believed Hesing was honestly trying to make the most of his assets. Witness stated to Mr.

Knott his reasons for his construction of the Bankruptcy law. Guy Magce testified that Hesing told him that Leonard Swett wanted him (Hesing) to squeal on Logan, Karwcll and others, but Hesing said he hod nothing to squeal about. A. 0. Hesing testified that In April, 1874, his personal property was worth $10,000, aud unencumbered.

and un execution for would have been satisfied, as ho had other valuable property; Judgu Blodgclt not a party to the agreement between witness, Leake and Vocke to keep the order of Bale out of the newapapcrs. BORROWING FROM ASSIGNEES. Ou the third charge, of borrowing money from asaigneea, Mark Kimball, assignee of the Mutual Security Company, testified this afternoon that he loaned Judge Blodgett $5,000 trust funds in 1872 at five per cent, which was shortly repaid. O. 11.

Horton said he knew of Judge Blodgett borrowing $2,200 of James Long, assignee or the Equitable Insurance Company, and giving notes, but knew nothing as to the interest, though the form of the note given necessarily called for interest under the Stute laws. PREJUDICE OK THE BENCH. The fourth charge was then read. It accuses Judge Blodgett of wilfully using tho power of the Court to prejudico the rights of and to oppress citizens. JUSTICE PINCKNEY TESTIFIES.

WHY HE DRANK GIN ON THE SAYS HE WAS NEVER INTOXICATED WHILE THERE? A DISSATISFIED ATTORNEY. "I would rather swear on an open Bible," said Justice Pinckney yesterday afternoon as his counsel, Mr. lteavy, offered him the book to testify on his own behalf in the proceedings against him before Referee Buell, in the Corporation Counsel's office.

"I can the dividends at eight pet cent, and if I can't finish it Billy can;" on anothei occasion, in the course of conversation, the Commodore alluded to a report that had been circulated setting forth that he was dead, adding that the object of the "rascals" who did it was to affect the value ol stock; I said you have got to die some time, and then the stock will tall, certain; his reply wus "It hadn't ought to, for I've not been fool enough to get this thing together to have it scattered after my death? not a shure will go on the market;" prior to 1875 he told mo several times that he had tried his son William at the railroad business, on Stutcn Island or Long Island, and that he had not selected him to manage his roads without having first ascertained his fitness for the position. A MILLION SUFFICIENT. To a question by Mr. Clinton as to whother the Commodore, while stopping: at the same hotel with the witness in Saratoga during the summer of 1875, spoko to him about how much property any one muu ought to havo, the witness Commodore said a million or two was as much as any one ought to have; the Commodore also said that lie had givou each of his children some sum that I don't now recollect, and ho added, "that is enough;" the sum lio named was uicousiueraoie as compared witn lus wealth; iu all his acts and coiivoraatious 1 novel' saw anything that was not entirely rational and reasonable.

CONSTRUCTION OF KEEL YACHTS. LECTURE BY PROFESSOR A.

GARY SMITH BEFORE THE 8F.AWAKUAKA YACHT CLUB. Professor A. Cary Smith commenced a course of lectures' beforo tho Scawanhaka Yacht Club last evening at a meeting of the club and others interested in yacht building, held in Delmonlco's, Broadway and Twenty-sixth street. The subject of the lirst lecture was tho construction of keel yachts, and woa illustrated by drawings and by diagrams on the blackboard. Prolcssor Smith tho keel is merely a means of getting lateral resistance it would seem that tho more keel immersed tlio better; but when we examine closely into tile laws of fluids it ia found that 8ue.li ia not tho caae.

The great problom ia how to make tho icaat aurfaco do the moat work. The reason of this ia that surface frictiou ia a great factor; also when the water has been parted the effective lateral roalstanco grows less and ioas as we approach tho alter end of the boat. Kxporlmeuts by lilaud with small models show this, and practical experience points to the same thing. It w-ould seem that the same law goverus tho coutour of tho kocl that governs tho shape of a water easy entrance, with tho greutost width aft of aintdshipa. and a full, round curve aft; but wo want a place to haug a rudder on, and wo leave the after end perpendicular for that purpose.

"It ia held by a great many that a deep forefoot la needed to make a vessel liaug on in a seaway, llut experience does not allow this. Tho old America has scarcely any forefoot and she is perhaps the most weutlicrly keel boat wc have. The Kngliah Jullauur is another excellent example and shows this to a still greater degree, only drawing fourteen ini tios forward and thirteen feet, nine inches aft, with tho stern post about llftceu loot from the after end of walor lino. The immersed area compared with the depth, multiplied by length or water line, is very small, yot her record shows her to be the most weaUieriy boat of her rig in rough wator, and she turns very iiuickly too, a great advantage in beating to windward when in short work. The same result can lie obtained by reducing the draught forward and rounding up the keel aft, leaving the stern post perpendicular.

This form brings tho centre of lateral resistance well aft, and allows ua to carry less bowsprit. 1 not point to the fact that this is a great advantage. This iorm of keel holds good even in shallow centreboard boats. Tho Comet and Clio have almost no forefoot, and both aro remarkable for woatherly qualities. THK CROSS SECTION.

"As wo havo now," said the Professor, "glanced over the roasons for the iortu of (he kt el, wo now collie to the cross section. It is the liraetlcn make tho keel wry thin and ilmp. Thin In good foriu for speed, but very weak lu count ruction, except for very email Where a veaael with a thin and deep keel touchcH the ground fur from a dry dock it ta very uupleaHant, and yet moat keel are built in thia uiuuncr. When a keel ia thin there ia tittle hold for the floor and it the gavboard atrake la aa thick aa it ahould be there ia email apace tor the bolta muat be driven near the centre, and, if repaired, there la very little apace to put any new bolta, and if the rabbet of the garboard la at tho top edge of the kocl. an it noinotiinea ia, there la danger of twlatlug the kocl outircly out if the veuerl the ground.

If we intend to put any lead on the keel it must made very thick, if (or a email boat, and only a abort distance outside the plank if for a large one." In c'inclusion, the I'rofonaor said that a keel boat ahould be narrow and of good depth to get tlic requisite lateral realatauee. Tlila form enables ua to get along with a small rig and yet sail well. Whan Inclined with a strong wind shallow keel boata are apt to fail to leeward and lose in that way. A deep koal may bo put on, but it ia vary weak ia construction. 1 BLIGHTED AFFECTIONS.

matrimony and money a courtship in which the suitor finds himself in jail and is mulcted in damages, lu one shape and another there have been frequently before the courts during the paat fewr mouths proceedings connected with a suit brought by Miss Ernestine Moses against Ignutz Hteindlcr for damages for alleged breach of promise of marriage. A portion of this time the defendant has passed in Ludlow Street Jail, from which he ineffectually sought release through promise to take upon' himself the matrimonial yoke rather than have tho suit further prosecuted. The suit was brought to trial yesterday, before Judge Van Brunt, holding Suprome Court, Circuit. Tho court room was crowded. Tho plaintiff was represented by Mr.

lllchard S. Newcombe and the defendant by Messrs. Ira Leo Hamburger and lteginuld Hart. the plaintiff's btoiiy. After a brief opening of the caso by Mr.

New; combo, stating the facts he expected to provo and drawing rather a pathetic picture of tho mental sufferings uudcrgoue by the plaintiff through tho failure of the defendant to marry her, he called to the witness stand Miss Moses. Sho is rather a buxom looking lass, prepossessing in appcaranco, somewhat below medium size and was plaiuly dressed. 8he tolil her story ill a straightforward liiauuor, reciting how, early in February, 1877, she became acquainted witli the defendant, through his having been brought to her father's house by a Mr. Euglo, man; how a speedy marriage engagement was entered into between them; how the arrangements were made lor the anticipated wedding festival and how it all came to nothing through the defendant's l'uiluro to fultil his promise. "Did you have any nionoy saved up at the time of the engagement was among the questions asked her.

i "lies, I had $700 in tho Union Dime Savings Bank." "Did you promise to give Steindler the money?" "No. 1 told him that it was in the bauk in my father's name but I was willing to have it transferred to his and my uume jointly after our marriage, but that noither should draw it out without i the other's consent." "Didhe draw out any of the money?" "W-e-1-1, no" (answering the question very slowly). "He uttcuipted secretly to draw it, but the i bank would not give it to him." plaintiff's father's statement. The feature of the day was the examination of Mr. Joseph Moses, the father of the plain till', llis volubility at times was so great that it was difficult to repress him, and on one oecusiou the Judge threatened to punish liim for contempt if he did not conline his testimony to answering the questions.

"Do you know Iguatx Steindler he was asked. "Oh, yes; too much to my sorrow." he answered. "Where did you lirst meet him "At Mr. Fugleman's house. Engleiuan told me that Steindler would uiuko a good mutch for my daughter; thut he was a young grocery man, and needed money to go on with the business." In the course of his further testimony, he stated that his daughter hud been lid $18 a mouth as cook, and saved up her moucy, which he had put in the savings bank in his own name for her.

He said that he expended about $500 of his own money for her wedding outfit, including a feather bed, one black silk dress and two woollen dresses, and, as he added, "oiler tings a fader would buy for his child about to be "Whore did you got the $500 ho was asked on cross-examination. "From my work." "Work at what?" "Tailoring." "I mean from what place did yon get the money?" "From my drawer." (Laughter.) "Did you draw the money from a bank?" "Oh, utein Oott! don't make me crazy mit your questions!" (Laughter.) "Wuh everything ready for the wedding?" "Yea; the music was ready." "Did you pay for the music?" "Oh, no; they vaa to come for nothing." MOTION TO DISMISS COMPLAINT. The examination of Mr. Moses concluded the testimony for the prosecution, after which a motion was made by defendant's counsel to dismiss the complaint. He claimed a dismissal on the ground that Kugleuiau acted in the case as a marriage broker; that the father bargained to give $700 to the defendant if he would marry his daughter, and that this was contrary to public' policy and that the marriage contract was, therefore, vuid.

This motion wus denied. THE DEFENDANT'S VERSION. Uteindlcr was called on his own behalf. He Is a diminutive specimen of a man, with dark hulr brushed up from his forehead, small eyes sot far apart and with a thin mustache. He stated that he became acquainttxl with Miss Moses through the introduction of Mr.

Lugleinau; that he told her father and her that three months before ho had bought a grocery store for and that if they would give him $7uu he would marry the daughter; he told him uiu iu iu? uuik was laausiurreu io uimseu auu Miss Mows. Dili you get any of the money?" be was asked. "No; the bank wouldn't give It to me without MiM Moses' consent." "Would you bavo married Miss Moses if you bad got the $700?" "Certainly." you willing to marry her now if you get the money?" "Yes." "Why did you refuse to marry her?" "because 1 could not support myself, much less a wife." The case was carefully summed up by the respective counsel, followed by a charge to the jury by Judge Yon brunt, giving a clear and concise statement of the law applicable to the case. The jury, after an absence of fifteen minutes, brought in a verdict for in favor of the plaintiff. THREATENING POOR MEN'S HOMES.

DISASTROUS CONSEQUENCES WHICH WOULD POLLOW TUB FORECLOSURE OF A CERTAIN MORTGAGE IN PATKRSON, N. MADISON PARK HAMLET. Patersou, N. has been thrown into a state of the utmost excitement and consternation over the institution of certain mortgage foreclosure proceedings which threatened to sweep away the homca of hundreds of her most thrifty citizens. Summonses have been issued, Returnable February 2S, by tho Mutual Benefit Life insurance Company of Newark, and the papers are now being servod.

The facta in the case, as near as they ran be arrived at, are as the real estate fever of a few years since a party of speculators purchased forty acres of laud, known as the Warren estate, Mouth I'aterson, and lnid tho tract out in city lots, many of which have been sold and built upon. A mortgage was given by the speculators (who had formed themselves luto what was known as the Madison Park Association) to Colonel Philip llaifcrty, who sold tho same to tho insurance company above mentioned. The amount was originally and, with the interest which lias accumulated, the total is now in the neighborhood of fjo.ooo. The interest was paid as long as the excitement continued and it was possible to sell lots, but for some time past nothing has boon done.
