The coal produced "is tbe most beautifully buriang material in the known world sujierior to i-annel coal."

The most picturesque and suggestive niapcame after in exhibiting the surrouudiugs of Richmond, including the possessions of the coal asset.

Th slight of-haud tricks are most cleverly done, and the veutrilouuisui surpasses auy heard here of late years. The marionettes afforded unlimited amusement.

It rame slowly at first, but it wa pouring by noon, and continued to fall briskly till night, when it ceased and a fog came on. The snow and ice melted rapidly aud tho walks were speedily cleared of the accumulation of weeks.

Walking aliout town wa very bad, especially in the early part of the day, when the rain fioxe at it. fell, making the siile- vraiks a of ice.

Ieciiitslly the geia of the evening was tho Beethoven Qaartette, which was splendidly plavt-d, it is thus criticised by a German critic: llecthoven's minor quartette (the fourth in Op. 1) tins always tx-en a avorite with the public similarly with tin-. Pathetique in the same iudoud, both tirst anil Inst movements ain-jng the most remarkable creation of Beetiioveu's brst while andante ami nnmietts are excelled by several others, nssciail by those of the quartette bi F.

The most isthe first movement, it is so full of that true imtho springing from the inmost soul, he-h in instrumental music came first to it fullest development through Beethoven. As the beginning of tiie movement in completeit unity ami determined energy presses unbrokenly ithough painfully) upward, soits whole course is one movuu: soul sorrow and consolation, and contains in lis in wardly firm treatment a true image of its creator. The priuclpal theme cannot be played with too much breadth or masculine strength. He's all sensual revelry or tender sentimentality would be entirely false. No quartette of either Havdn or Mozart can sho such breadth or unity in its ever overflowing melody.

Compare "-with this beginning the one similarly conceived in Mozart's minor quartette and note well how much more origin al and intensive is the fiery glowing song of the latter muster. A middlesatz with original rhvthm leads to the lovely cantiieno of the seiteusatz. introduced by the socoo-1 violin and played alsjiit by tne first violin wnth flowing figures, which broaden themselves into reminiscences of the commanding and encouraging schlussatz. Throughout gay, strong and even humor-istic is the coloring of tiie close of the first part. Iu the beginning the master reveals to us a uotiie-iieurtea lumen tut ion which spreads at last into all the voices, though at brst almost confined to the tirst violin.

The third part is somewhat formal by the side ot the tirst, while the close of the whole (from the entrance of the principal theme iu flat) sweeps on with tne most powerful energy. Here the pathetic frame of mind culminating poiut, where the lap ms- angnly surge ou as it we- to in the minor chor For this fairlv Ix. rlnire uiovement may mwt iiT- r1 a.fjUlc' by the side of the of Beethoven's middle Ti I and minuette thou: charuiinz height of the first movement, but cording to a.t., the former beur tiehind its gaiety a determiueil earnest character which it seems trying to lose sight of aua lorget in playfulness and jollity.

The concerto movementof Beethoven was played with greut tire and b-illiancr, and the cadence (by Vieux- temps) afforded Mr. Listemann a tine opoortu nity for the displuy of his remarkable powers of execution. The two movements of the Raff quartette aoounoea in curious effects and were very pleasing, especially noticeable was the treat ment ot a little motive irj three notes in the latter which at last reached ite culmination ujion the dominant seventh.

Ltrn us FKo.ii 'rim fkopi.e, 8lud la the Public Srlaoole. LETTER FROM A PARENT. To the Editor of the We are an average American family, having four childreu in our public schools. Your article last Saturday morning on "Studying" has occasioned considerable conversation among us. Mamma is indignant because she oonsiders herself classed with those people who stopped learning anything tweuty-five years ago.

She is apt, if there is any reproach implied, to take it to herself. She is sure that, twenty-five year ago, she learned a great deal at much exiieuso of brain strength that ho never been of tho least practical use to her, and she bi anxious to pi-eeerve the lioalth of these four dear ones, end at the same time see them grow up in iiitWligunea and knowledge. -sow near wnat is requireo ot tuese childreu, who are in school live hours each day. leavim? home one half hour before the time of entrance and coming back one-quarter or, count- school is over, thus beitifr abi-ent six and a half nours aauy. i ae children rend, sing and draw or write every day.

One-halt hour i allotted to each exercise. They recite alto every day gramuuir, arithmetic, history, geography, spelling, tine-half hour is givvu'to each recitation, thus making four houi of what we mav call general exercises and recitations, line niore half hour is given to devotions ami re-eeas. leaving only forty II uiiuule iu both two sessions for studying their lessons. Those forty-five minutes, too, are often taken up by visits irom tne principal, witu necessary lectures and rule. Whut is the consequeueef The lessons are brought home to study at night.

The arithmetic is particularly hard, and pupa or mamma are called upon to explain koiiio very trying protnem wmcn tney cannot unuerstanu tnem-selves without harder study than they wish to give, and they generally siroid the teacher over the now weeping child's head for not ex plaining the lessons more thoroughly. Here let me ask whv the childreu need study such very bard arithmetics! Our girls are doing sums thut a neighlicr. a gentleman in large mercantile business, says he hu never tseu called upon to perform, and that A. T. Stewart in his gn-at establishment would have no occasion to use.

Are the girls of the future expected to outrival And now one word about United Htnrcs history. Three long years do these fiooc i i'dren drudge aud drone over United history. 1 cannot see that they know anything about it yet. They have learned by heart a mass of uuinterestiiig and uitimporUuit facts, that in a month are forgotten. Keaily, the child in the family, who has only heard a flmali popular hrstoryVead aloud in connection with some of Hawthorne's title, know more of the history of our con- try than any of the others.

I will not say anything about grammar. Greene's grammar, the one taught, looked too dreadful wheu we glanced into it, ami we bugged off, and attempt teaching ittiu ourselves in a very sprightly but desultory manner. The discipline of five or six hundred children is a serious matter, if a failure is given for any slight inisdemeauor, or for a failure ir recitation, the child must stay aftr school one hour. Of course, maiimia rebeis, when her darling have already tsten gone six hours and a half Where is the chance for home iniiu-enco. she says, for there uirst be some time givn for out-door play, anil the days are short; ard as she talks with them quietly, she is mortified to llmi that they care more for their standing on the printed monthly n-iiort than they do for the knowledge they have acquired.

Jiow, where is the remedy I The principal of the school does ull he can, in fact he often does too muiii. The teachors are tired. The school committee do they have time to study the laist methol for teaching what will be of the grxatost use to two or throe tbouK-iud little onosf Who will look into our public school and relieve tho children and the molhersf I'ABK-NT.

The feature wnich i-ucelve the wont bitter opposition is that relating to sctioul, una the friends of the measure in the house have obviated this by an amendment providing for separate schools with equal privilege fur each race, where this course uiny be preferred. The bill is therefore one to which no objec tion can be made except from prejudice of color or caste. Whether it will accomplish its object, so long as the prejudice remains, may well be doubted. If the democrats bad aeuotiUul the situation, recognizing the natural fears of the colored man, and the uicsity for ilovntlng and edu cating the race, aud had made no party oppos ition to the measure the n-sult would have been for the benefit of the whole country.

would have spiked the strougi st gun which can be used against the party in the near future. If we were to look at the question only from a party standpoint we liould rej ilt-e that they have held to their prejudices. But when we reflect upon tho good that might have resulted from a different couie, we can only regret their hostility as mistaken and short-sighted and a national misfortune. For it is evident that the passage of the measure by the rvpub-licaus cannot at once accomplish the same good results which would have followed its adoption by the other party, the party which controls the white sentiment of the south.

first called to explain the circumsturice of the subscription of Mr. J. B. Carrington, of the Journal and Courier, Mr. Carrington having denied that he was a stockholder, though it ap peared that he hud reoeiptad tor tfia slock.

The witness said tnut liu bad soveial iuW-r-vlews with Mr. Carrington, who was ilrst indisposed to suliscribe to the guarantee fund, as he bad bought au iuterest in the Palladium newspaper, and that involved the putting up of securities. Hulisequeutly ho suid he hud ar rauu-ed the I'alladium matter and concluded to subscribe providel Air Line bonds wcnld 1 accepted as collateral, and they were acjepted. 1 he plan with hitu aud with the others was tfiat for every ot guaranteed capital rt.7W of stock capital wns to be given. The ol slock was accordingly traus-lurred to him March and be re ceived it and receipU-d for it.

the witness telng presi-nt at the tune. Mr. t'ai-rinitou htd the benetit of the dividend of twenty-three er and knew of it at the time he took the slock, and, said the witness, "was gratified with it and said that for once he stood a fair cliancoo( making a little money, and inquired when I tiwuftt Hurt vxuUl be unotlier dividend!" The witness said iu closing Ins testimony ou this ooint tliat he did not lielieve Mr. Gamngtou dn-sigued an uutruth when ho testified, but that his "recollection" was faulty. The circumstances of other sul-seriotiotis were given betting forth subsUui tially the same line of proceedings rs were developed yesterday.

Iu most case il appearnd that the certillcaies of slo-k iasuwl had never been called for. Afuu- disposing of some cf these liuside men who acted as directors or otherwise, yet del iiot take their certiuVates, aud in their own testimony had fonble recollections of the whole transaction, it appeared by the testimony of the witness tnut the company went outside for young blood to lnfu-e new life. A conference was held and it was decided to add five new director. One of those selected wus Dr. White of Fair Haven, of credit mobiber fame, and was tho first oue alluded to by the wit iiuh as belonging to the blood series.

The doctor took hold "and has been a very faithfui man in studying the progress of the company." Mayor Lewis was another of the new bloods, and was selected because of his great interest in public improvement. The mayor himself has testified that he positively refuse) have anything to do witn the coacuru. The witness said he called upon Mr. Lewis, ''who as either otic of towu or had the rheumatism," and then transferred the stock to huu without his knowk-ile; he was also elected a direi-tor without hi icoiisent, and was subsequently informed of the action taken by the witucss. and stated that lie hud su many carrs on bis mind thut be did not think he could lie of much service to the company, but when he could he would call at the office and "look us over;" lie wrote in high praise of the company and said tbe community was indebted to the company for the erection of a palatial building, winch was the onlv commercial building in New Haven.

Lewis did call, but could not stop "because olio of iiarnum tsmiM hod lunen through the Barnesville bridge la city bridge,) ami it was an important matter that ho must lisik Later be made a definite aeiHiiutmnut to call, "but was sick aud went to Haratogn," and said be would cull when be got hack. hen he returned "he was very busy anil the matter slumbered." On one occasion later he called at the oltiee aud said "be had got to meet the engineers on the Ka-t Haven bridge," and then added that he didn't know as he should ever have tune to think over the organization of the comjNiny. REMARKABLE CASf ALTICS. The unfortunate casualties which ovjrtook the subscnliers to this great enterprise, in view of its large promise, are really remarkable. Yesterdav it appeared that one doserving favorite who had a blis'k of stuck set aside for him del his level best to "got a crack at it," but was suddenly called into tho lumber districts of Cunatia." and while struggling to got home so a to sense the stock, was tue victim of a railroad disaster in Vermont whii broke his leg aud smashed bis should-r, and then, as be was about Umpiug to the office of the company, was peremptorily called b) Baltimore, aud there in ntt-r Ulenri of ever realizing his fondest expectatio'i w.

u'u to U. Noyos thai lie could not accept of the blessing wuicli awaited him. Scarcely loss wonderful i the exjierieuce of Mayor Lewis, who in some rospects was foiiuwod by a more remorseless fatality. Not only did the rheumatism supply a serious obstacle to his possession of stock, but just a he was at the point of crossing the threshold of the conoratiou Bar-uum's mules fell through bridge, and again he was left to his own reflections, only to lapse into sickness which compelled relief in the solacing waters of the springs at riaraloga; an 1, as if to every honest effort to ct t'-e Muck of sbx-k, hi return to liavi-n was darkly shadowed, on his very entrance, by engineering operations at the Float Uavi-n bridge. wonder Uiat doubts at this time should have anscn in his mind, aud that he i-hould have taken t.i:e irliest.

occasion to see B. Moves to save himself from final disaster by a compulsory sacntice of the block of stock. It ap-eared also that when K. Noyes himself went to Hart ford one day with Brighton bonds which back sonte of the guaraiitei-i capital to inquire alsmt them, he was suddenly taken with fever and ngtie and had to return home. Still later, in today' examination, as appears below, iu ihe consideration of a Virginian coal "asset," the melancholy announcement was mad thut a mule died in a shnft.

ling sent so far down that hi- life w-as too short to make it worth the effort for him to return; thisbink-the onlv fatal casualty p'oorted. but, by a singular coincidence the third mule which has tigurod in this trial. TtTU 0UAJ1A.NTEE BlflSCRiniO.N. Mr. Noveii admitted that there was na for mal subscription to th guaranU-ed capilal.

hieu wa creutM iiy a resolution oi tue com pany only. This resolution wa as follows Y4i. That, tlisrs bf established ninrauteii eapititl nt to SliW.tluu. under the provisions of the charter of tbe company soil aranad-munts tbareto, slid that said capital' rm si-urJ to tUe ny the trausfsr of such stis-lts or bouds, or by murtisv ou real estate, as snail be approved by the At previously shown in the testimony offered by the state, the receipt given by the company to the subscriliers did not the collaterals a securities, aud the collaterals themselves, though "approve-l by too were largely wortiiios iu ail uiio uen) worth anvthimr. were non-pavinK.

and yet the sutiscriliers uruler the contract were paid six pe- cent, per annum tor the use ot their names. It appears, as admitted by Mr. Novo to-day. that the receipts alluded to not generally s'gued, and that the subscriptions were not formally recognized beyond tbe recognition of a deposit iu some cases of questionable securities, but mat an informal paper was used in which was jotttd down what each man would though this paper cannot now be found. Ttie defense was obliged therefore to rely wholly upon the circumstantial evidence of book records, assuming that, where a subscriber was a director, his presence at a board meeting, at which was passed a vote approving or considering the guaranteed fuud, he must have been cognizant of all the facts bearing upon his own subscription.

The guaranteed capitul, though not completed until some time in April, l-TJ, was considered on the books as becoming operative on the loth of December, 1672, which would allow it to be figured into the annual stuteuieut of the company, showing its condition Dec. 31st to be wnat it was not till April, and even then was not what it purported to be. CTOP1AW BICCBITIES. The largest amount of any single collateral furnished among the presumptive securities of the guaranteed fund is in Fair Hnven water stock, about the value of which some light was given toiay by Mr. Noyes in order, as the counsel for the company sai "to instruct tbe legal mind." The water company has reservoir present and prosjiecttve, and ifhen all these are full and a bead of 2t) feet is obtained from an East Rock supply, there will be water enough to supply a city of one hundred thousand inhabitant.

There havelieen from to already expended, and so far as the capital stock exists it is paid np. Though the company is not yet fully equipped, yet it runs it mains into many streets and has some consumers: but uo one is solicited to take the water, and in jioint of fact, as Mr. Noyes explained, the company cares but little about income, and does not want to ptiy dividends because it has a better use for its money. ben the water of this corporation is wholly depended upon by the city of Sew Haven, the tire department steamers will be sold as they will not be needed as every fire will succumb to ttie presence of mountain dew, which can be lifted to any desired attitude. The value of the stock is so exclusive that none of it is sold, and no one seems desirous of buying.

Mr. Korea remarked on this point: "The stock represents the property we own. and that stock represents a property which is worth three hundred thousand dollars in bullion." This would make it worth, if it ha i any market value, about 1150, but as the company cares notlnii about income to sjxtik of, iho public, csu-iung the inspiration, cares nothing about the stock to speak cf, and is uncharitable enough to believe that all it is worth, in fact, is just what the old water which is rich and powerful, will jmy for whole property gome day when the 'present owners become satisfied that income is a matter of some consequence in this vale of tears, he, Bristol's collaterals. Mr. Willis Bristol was treasurer of the company and a subscriber to tbe Kiiarautee capital for 10.oiW, aud furnished securities of tlO.OiK) in Morris and Essex railroad shares, in July last be withdrew from the office of treasurer, and in returning tha secretary of tbe company the as-et in his possession, withheld his own collaterals, ami Mr.

Noyes said gave a a reason for doing that be had an opportunity to exchange them, and if he did dispose of them would give equally go)si security to the company, and it he kept them would' repi.M-c them. Mr. oyes allowed him to earrr cut this verbal arrangement a be believed both his word and properly to be good, Tbe examination in this part of the case was long, and at last developed the fact that the securities were cot returned until after the beginning of this suit, and came in time to tie included as an asset to be shown up when called for.

A petition signed by citixons of all the states and territories is before congress asking that the Tito of February, Lincoln's birthday, be mails a legal holiday. A few mor legal holidays Uurtnit the year would be very accepta ble, but it ts unfortunate that Lincoln's birth- day annivenary comes se near aautugion Verhaps it would be better to take the an niversary of his emancipation proclamation. The llartforii Time comment with Just severity uxm coinrressioual corruption.

But the Tlme't remark would have greater force if it should call attention to the fact that the mm who received the largest share of the I a cillcMail plundiT was democratic coneras-mnn from Brooklyn; and also that the person who, so far as is known, was given the largest amount of the Texas Taciflc bribery stock was the recent democratic candidate for senator ill Minnesota. The financial agent of the town of Northampton in his report of the relief of the Mill Kivor sufferers in that town, acknowledges the receipt of of which ft), has been tlisburwnl. Two hundred and seventy persons have brcu aided in tho district. The money was mainly paid out In sums as follows: IIMO to the lieiul of each family that bad lost all of its furniture oud clothing; 1100 ar.d four dollars additional for ft trunk to each unuinrried woman a ho lost her trunk and clothing, and to all unmarried men in like circumstance- After a somewhat protracted contest In the Wisconsin legislature Senator Carpenter was defeated on Wednesday Ly person named Cameron, hitherto unknown to fume. It is but justice to Mr.

Carpenter to iy that lie possessed many of the qualities of statesman. During his single ti rm in the senate he has shown himself a brllliaut deleter and on most sul-jacts a sound and forcible reasoncr. His deficiencies were rather moral than intellec-uul, and fur several years an impression bus prevailed that liis iuiluence was not on the side of purity in politic. For this rcusou bis defeat is not a matter of regret. The German Landsturm bill, which has iawxl its second reading and wilt tiecomo a law in a few days, raises the disjwsable force of the empire to the enormous totul of men.

Thin whole force will be thoroughly disciplined and armed with improved weapons, making the whole nation a vast military machine in the bands of its rulers. The other continental powers are following in the same direction. France now ha aliout 1,750,000 m.ai in Kussla more than ami Austria, Italy, lienmark. Holland, and Switzerland are arming a rapidly as they can. Even England is becoming apprehensive and the staid London 7'imcs urges the strength-euinj of tbe navy as the one arm iu which the nat ion is beyond rivalry.

All thi in a season of general peace looks ominous. As has been stated elsewbern, another proposition has been made by the Fj-ie railway company, for an arrangement for carrying through freight from the west to new r.ng laud, pro ratu, and there is hepe that terms satisfactory to all concerned will be agreed uou. If the different roads will unite upon the proposed plan, we may reasonably expect a large increased freifcbt tradlc over the Connecticut Western road early in the spring, as soon as the proper ferry tacilitios are provided at Newhurgh. Tho preparation for the oiiening of the P.binebeck and Connecticut roaI al-io Jfivo promise of coustder.ible tmsiuess from that roal as soon as spring open. The euro, est efforts of the managers of roads west of us to commuuications this way.

and the xeal wim wliwh ikv-ton buaiuoss men enter into the plans for securing a new through route by way cf this city, show very plainly that there is an opportunity to plate the Couuocticut Western road upon a successful business footing at a very early day. A prner improvement of the advantages the road possesses, and of tho opportunities which it connection will very noon give it, will make tiie road all that it most sanguine friends have hoped for it. rHK RILE. There is good reason for feeling satisfied with Tuesday's work in congress. Tho m-ijor-ity asserted their right by the adoption of a uir and dignified rule, givinj to the minority abundant opportunity to discuss obnoxious measure aud to place the grounds of their opposition on record, but taking away the power of preventing all legislature by a resort to filibustering.

Speaker Blaine was probably correct in hi assertion that the old rules were not intended to give ttii power to the minority, but the abuse has gradually crept in as a result perhai of the too lilwral use iu former ibiys of til gag of the previous question. The precis method of blocking the wheel was this: A motion to adjourn is nHvavs in order, and a motion to flx the day to which the lus shall adjourn is urier to the motion to adjourn and must vherefar take the precedence. The minority desiring to prevent action upon a bill which it is known wiil pass if a vote can be reached, will consume the time by motions to adjourn, or motions to ix the day to which the house will adjourn, and ujKin every motion the yea and nay are called, consuming th time indefinitely. Under tb construction of the rule allowing those dilatory motions the majority were constantly at the mercy of the minority, a state of affairs which is subversive of the rights of majorities and which clearly could not have been the design of the rule when formed. the new rule improves upon acquaintance.

Adopted a a jsirty uiuun it has nothing partisan in it, and is car fully guarded to pre-veui its use for improa-r purpose. One of the best matures of the delmte is the utter defeat of the tool of the lobby who strove, al most with desperation, to have the rule so amended as to kave the way ojn for the introduction of jobs. 1 he reputations of those who were pushing the Cessna rul-j are enough to excite grave suspicious of it. and its defeat is a mutter for rejoicing, for it makes it improbable that any corrupt mea.nn will 1 forced through the pruseiit congress, and this will be au almost unexpected piece of good fortune. Tli rule commends itself at once as so manifestly just and beucficial that there is little danger of it repeal by the next house.

The gentlemen wiio arc fueling for the lead of the dein.icratic hou.e thought a little capital could l.e mailt- by avowed indignation, but when they come into their Utile brief authority next winter they will forgot all their excited pro tests of but Tuesday, aud accept the rule for a good thiug, as it ia tun tiriL Hiunrn bill. The bill which wdl receive final action in the bouse to-day, is the measure which was intra duccd by Charles tiuiuner as "Bill No. in the senate at the opening of the present congress. By its title it is "sf bid supplementary to aa ac to protwt all citizens of the T'nitod States in thvu' civil right, aud to furnish the uiuaus for tbelr viuincation. ilie measure vim persistently nrgi-d by Mr.

8umner. but w.ihout availing to socio its passage, and hen he died it wa the Inst thing on hi thoughts. Final.y some week after his death the senate took up tiie bill, amended and it. and on the 1 of May it wa sent to the lower bouse. that time it ha been upon tne speaker's desk, every effort to read it hitherto having been prevented by the opositlon of the minority.

At last undw the new rule it has come up for consideration and the decision of the majority will be known.

Noye, president of the American National company, formed the closing part of the testimony today. It will be reinemlxired that Mr. Jf. V. Spei-ry in bis last aard dodged the whole que tion originally raised by The Cot'BaST, that he wa a director of the National conipuny the successor of the Mutual by contradicting the statement in his ilrst card, which was plump denial of tbe statement that he as a director, ami a member of the building committee coutra)ted with the building firm of which he is a member boerect the new building of the National company at a commission of ten per am) asserting that he was not a director in the Mutual company, which no vne hail aiiegmL 1 here are some points, bowevor, in tbe mutual rm-ord which routlict with Mr.

Sperry's last card, and clearly show his cva- simis. He said in that curd: "The contract fot lease (by Trinity church pariah) with the Amer-i'-an Mutual took tttert from the first dnii of Man, posse- ion to be and was ueitvetisi Aug. jst." Mr. Noyes read a letter froni the officers of the company to the Hon. W.

W. Bourdman, one of tue vestry of Trinity parish, which began by saying "it is evident that the charter of this conip my s-s nof permit ut to mak a lease," but had bon taken, Mr. Bourdman was informed, to secure nded amendments to the charter (uot of the Mutual but of tiie National coiiiaii, and a wish wus expressed that the vestry would allow time to act. Tins was dated My bl Ou May l.Jtu matters bad so far progress)! that a 'quorum of the director'' addressed Boaruinan again, thut they were in favor of securing a lruse of the ground for tfce neir compa'iy; Uiot is. the Mutual company, which was to tx-coijie defunct wa in favur of a new budding for it auccesisor.

June iiih, there was further communication with tv.unlman, ami K. Lyon, sec-elary, notified turn that the legislation, amending the charter, bad twen secured (it was in fact approved July loth by the goveraor) and the proposals for lease would lie accepted. June lst, communication took plac on the subject of tbe number of feet frout which the lease wa-i to cover. June another lettor was written to Boardmn that the proposition concerning trni of ioase were accopted, aubject to certain mo-liti -ation. Here Mr.

Nojes wa questioned and saiil that i'sn after tiiis there was a xerbiU understanding aliout the lease. BT'T THR LtASE was HUT tXKCCTKD Wit VABIarS REASON! "At tliat tune we contemplate putting up a four Story building, with iron front, like plans which had been shown by tbe vestry of Triuity parish, aal which would cost l.V),0Jt)." (Mr. Harrison, counsel for the state, denied by au-thordy tnst Trinity parish had ever contemplated' putting up such a building. "After this verhal loise," continued Mr. Noyes, entered Uoo construction about the first ot Septonilier or middle of Aujjust.

binn the itailitinj long the lease wan exteutetjr Un the 4th of September (according to the mutual records) at a meeting of the directors "the subject of erecting a new building for the American company was brought forward and duly eimsid'-rei." and the meeting then adjourned to Heptomoer tnb "to give tune for preparation of tho meeting to organize" the American. Here Mr. IIurison suggested that there wa a discrepancy between the record ami Mr. Noyos's testimony, if oo Hept. 4th "the subject of erecting a new building" was considered, how coal 1 the work of construction have been entered upon about the middle of August: He suggested that ground might have been broken then.

The corner stone was not laid till Oct. thi On Septemln-r "lb thore was a noteworthy gathering, as the records show, of the Mutual company. Plan and teciJieatioi for ttie new tmitainti were submitted hy the architect, Mr. D. 11.

Browu! aud Mr. Nehemiah D. isjsfrry as oue of the Corporators of tho new company, and as a tnt-nilr of the firm of Thomson, Smith Sperry was present to consult about the plansl It wa voted to wild Mr. Brown, the architect, to New York to inspect build-in su -fr to thlM time." said Mr. Noyes.

"nutJiiny haa bean cmtcmpbited tmt tn build liut nere is wuas MX. cprry says in his last card: "Toe stone and brick for tht entire mcu tlrarture were purchased bv the contractors before Uie middle of A ugvst? Seotemlsr lith "th erection of the new building was further considered" and the matte- of llooring: with iron was talked about. Nehemiah D. bperry was elected a director oi the company. Septemlmr the charter of the company wa ac-epted by the corporators of that concern, ltie nisiory oi tms organization has already been given in big correspondence.

Mr. Jfoves. while these records were being read, explained a vote authorizing the treasurer of the Mutual company to aupropriate such funds of the compauy as migut be required for the new building, by saying that the wantea to retain it noiu on tne Building, as it policy holders were to furnish the money any way, so a to protect them, the idea being that the now company migut not Imhave oreciselv riiflit. But tbe force of this reasoning seems very peculiar when ths fact is considered that the officers ana uirccirors in both companies were the same, and, if it be a Mr. Noves represents, then it Is manifest that there was a serious want of confidence between the directors themselves.

Mr. Noves remarked that this matter of holding on to the building, aud finally turning it over as an asset, was by a general unoersiaiiuing; it was injunnui, and no record was made of it. On January IB. lSIi, there was another meet ing of the Mutual, and Messrs. Noves, Bristol aud Sperry were appointed a committee to confer with a of the new company on tho matter of transfer, and on February id, the Mutual voted to turn over the building, as an asset, to tbe Nauonul company or aratuaUon of fnree hunarea ana fifty ttiou- und dullars! There need be no comment now on these transactions beyond what they themselves suggest.

Further developments will be iu order however. The production of these records (which were irrelevant, though claimed to tie necessary to establish the cost of the building which does not yet appear) caused at the outset on objec tions to tut'ir aumission wuw n-mitm which the court took port, as follows: Judge Bradley Haven't you gota construc tion account wnicu win si low wnat tne ouua- in cost I Mr. Wright (counsel for the company) No, sir not precisely that.
