Judge Blatchford presides with the most undcvat-
ing patience, giving not the slightest symptom Of
the WEAKNESS or en,att which the majority Of the

The case Is three days on trial, and from present
appearances, 1t will occupy longer time than that
occupied by the whiskey case In which the present
claimants were also the claimants.
The examination OF witnesses commenced this
morning with the recall TO the stand of

tracted direct and cross examination.
few other witnesses were examined on the part
Of the prosecution, which then rested.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF A LADY.

In the HERALD OF Monday last q paragraph ap-
peared stating that lady named Margaret Mayne
residing at No. 40 Bushwick avenue, Brooklyn, had
disappeared suddenly on the Friday previous, and
no clue could be ascertained OF her whereabouts.
Thomas Nelson, residing at the corner OF Kent
avenue and II ewes street. Brooklyn, states that on
Friday evening last, about seven O'Clock, no was a
passenger on board the ierryboat California plying
between Houston street, New York, and Wiz
Harrisburg, when woman Of apparently
thirty years OF age dressed In fight Har
vana dress and gray sacque attracted the
attention or three or four passengers sitting
In the gentemens cabin OF the ferryboat by her
somewhat distracted behavior and restlessness
VIXEN tho boat was in the middle OF the river tn Q
woman left the cabin and went To the stern OF the
vessel. The passengers who had witnessed the
fact, seeing that the woman did not make her ap-
pearance as the boat landed impaired their suspi-
cions TO the pilot who ordered thorough search to
be made FOR her over all tho boat As she could not
be found 1t was deemed probable that she acct
dentally drowned or Jumped overheard deliberately
after she had lett the cabin and went to the stern of
the boat which was entirely deserted aud out Of the
sight Of tho pilot.
Afr. Nelson says that he supposed that the fact
would be reported to the police by the officers OF the
erryboat, aud therefore took no further steps I'm the
matter until ne saw the disappearance OF Mrs. Wayne
reported In the HERALD.
