He WAR confronted with real" oloud of witnesses." began coming at 8 o'olook. The most important was Cesare Borgia, who bad with him a fraudulent decree for which he says he paid the dirorce sharks $280. Then there was Mrs. Lizzie Cowan, a $75 vietim: Philip Heldelbrand, another $75 victim; the Rev.

Simon Harper, the colored olergrman who paid the sharks $180: Susan Miller. $30 victim: Sarah Quigley, who lent $100 to Buttner: Theodore Lamane, William Krantz, and ten or eleven more. The names of all these were signed to a complaint sworn out by Boretay, Buttner's wife, her sister, and his were in court and sat inside the railing. Mr. William Dorses Hughes was also there.

Butter recognized many of his old ellents" when he came into the court room from the jail, and he forthwith demanded to be amined on the back-number complaint of swindling Charles Finokel out of $60. Clerk MeGowan said softly: "Mr. Buttner, there is another charge against you." Butter demanded in load voice to know what the charge was. Then he listened while the clerk read Borgia's affidavit to which was attached the fraudulent divorce, and an amdavit by Hughes to the effect that he had forced the whole thing at the dictation of Buttner, and that Butter had received $260 for the work and riven him only $20, Buttner was visibly affected." "I came Into court this morning." he said, "to have an examination on the charge preferred against me last week. I don't know anything about this obarge."

"That I'm not guilty," shouted Buttner. "I demand three or four days to prepare for amination on the new charge." Justice O'Rellly said that he would adjourn the oase until Saturday morning, and would increase the bail to $3,000. Butter went over to sit down by his wife. Mrs.

Those of McAllinter's 400 who were not at the Manhattan Athletic Club last night missed a great treat. But many of them came and helped to swell the ranks of Walton Storm's 6,000, for over that number of men and pretty women poured into the great building between 9 o'clock and midnight and danced all night. The original intention was to reserve the gymnasium for promenading. but at the last moment Capt. Cornell.

who has charge of all the sports and the gymnasium in particular.n consented to allow dancing in the splendid room. As there are not many supports, however, under that floor only certain number were allowed to dance at a time. Entering the club's white and gold theatre at 11 o'clock the scene was a brilliant one. A glance at the stage showed the band playing on a lawn in front of the Tuxedo Club, for that WAR the scene set for a background, and 80 real was it that those who know the place almost imagined themselves there for a moment.

DEATH OF GEN. F. E. SPINNER. THE TREASURER OF THE UNITED STATES A VICTIM OF CANCER.

The End at Min Home la After Long Important vices as Daring the War. JACKSONVILLE, Dec. F. E. Spinner.

of the United Btates, died of cancer st 'elock this evening. Francis Ellas Spinner was born in German Flats (now Mohawk). N. on Jan. 21, 1802.

a native of Baden, who was once a died priest, And German afterward Flats A in reform 1848. preacher. at Francis Ellas learned the trade of confectioner in Albany, and afterward that of A saddler in Amsterdam. He engazed in trade in Herkimer in 1824, a and was Deputy Sheriff of the county in 1829. He was Major-General of militia in 1884.

Sheriff of the county from 1835 to 1837 and In 1838, and in 1839 Commissioner for building the State lunatio asylum in Utica. Afterward for many years he was cashier and President of bank in Mohawk. He held various local offlnes. and was Auditor and deputy Naval Officer at New York in 1845 and 1849. In 1854 he WAS eleoted to cress as an anti-slavery Democrat.

and WHA A member of the Committee on Election and of the special committee that in the sesault made by Preston Brooks on Charles Sumner. He was an active Republican from the organization of the party. He was twice reelected to Congress. serving altogether from December. 1855, to Marob.

1861. He was Chairman of the Committee on Accounts during his last terma. He was appointed Treasurer of the United States by President Lincoln In 1861, and held the office until June. 1875. He suggested and inaugurated, under Becretary Chase, the practice of employing women in the Government offices.

He signed the Treasury note in A peculiar handwriting that became famous for the purpose of preventing counterfeiting. When tie left office there was a discrepancy of a few cents in the books, and mauy days were spent by a force of clerka in making an examination until finally the mistuke was discovered. Gen. Spinuer went South for his health after leaving office. and bas for several years lived in a camp at Pablo Beach.

Florida. Under Gen. Spinner's direction the Treasury of the United States became greatest of American financial institutions, which it is to-day. Hundreds of millions passed through Gen. Spinner's hands during the war.

and nothing was ver lost. He WAS man of enorgy. and fertile in resources. This incident is related of him when it became known that a Confederate Army WAS likely to capture the defencele-8 capital: When it became known that Breckenridge WAS approaching, consternation many of the inhabitants, for the elty's utter lack of defence was known to erery one. Gen.

Spinver, however. Wils too much of a veteran to be frightened. The watch dog proolivity came to the front. At the critical moment he came quietly to Le Roy Tuttle and me and gave u8 bis plans for saving the money in the vaults of the Treasury. We acted without delay, sending to the Post Office Department for all the leather mail bags at its disposal.

The plan was to pack the money into them, and, should the outer line of forts be captured. take the bays to a tug which WAS to be held in readiness, and at once steam down the Potomac. There was no other way out of trie city, as Brockenridge had destroyed the ralways and telegraph lines running North. Nover shall I forget the all-night's work by Mr. Tuttle and myself to carry out the Goneral's plan.

DESIGNATING THE STATE PAPER. The Albany Times Rotated Ont, and Argus Rotated In.

ALBANY, Dec. -The Secretary of State, the Comptroller, and the State Treasurer met today and designated the Albany Argus as the State paper, or rather as the Albany newspaper which, under chapter 262. Laws of 1885. 18 to be the medium through which certain notices, rules, laws, and advertisements from the State departments are to reach the publio. Gov.

Hill did not intorfere, and neither Treasurer Danforth nor Comptroller Wemple voted for the Evening Times against Secretary of State Rice, who has always favored the Argus. The statement given out to the press that it was decided Inst night to alternately designate the Times and the Arous does not cover the case. In 1886. when Comptroller Chapin. State Treasurer Maxwell.

and Secretary of State Carr designated the Arous, they appeased Air. Callicott with the promise that the next year the Times should have it. AB each of the four years rolled around Editor Callicott applied for the designation, and each year It Was given to the Argus, but in 1890 Gov. HIlI Insisted on a fulfiment of the promise. To be contheretore, the Times should bave bad It four years before the yearly rotation was begun.

Moreover, there Is but little assurance given on the part of the three State officers that this system of rotation will be carried out next year. Secretary of State Rice told THE SUN correspondent plainly that it was not hecause of the rotation rule that the Argus selected. and that in fact. "there was Do principle involved in It." Treasurer Danforth. who formed stood the sponsor for the press despatch.

Incorrespondent that no one of the three State offeera had bound bimself to vote for the Times next year. notwithstanding the rotation theory. by virtue of whiob the ArQUR was designated this year. It would seem, therefore. that rotation simply meant the rotating of the Times out and the Argus In.
