THE NEW CATHOLIC COLLEGE IN BROOKLYN.

large number of Catholic institutions have been
erected during the past two years in the city OF
Brooklyn, which for size and beauty will probably
rival any in the United States. There are at the
present time a number in course of construction,
which will be completed within year, and will be
quite SUPERIOR in architectural point OF view, to
any yet constructed.
Yesterday afternoon the ceremony OF breaking the
ground for the new Catholic college, to be known as
'Mary, Queen Of the Isles" took place. in the pres
ence of between two and three thousand persons.
The structure will cover an area of 2Oox75O feet,
while the grounds embrace fve'acres, or an entire
block, bounded by Willoughby avenue, Hart street,
Stuyvesant and Lewis avenues. The cost OF the
structure s estimated at $1,000,000 The entire
ground was enclosed yesterday by high board
fence, and admittance fee was charged for
an entrance to the enclosure. There were
three or four tents within the enclosure besides the
speakers stand and at some of these refreshments
of all kinds might be obtained A large number Of
flags of different natOnalties were flying from the
tents and from long lines stretched from one part Of
the grounds to the other. The spade used for break
ing the ground rested upon small table in front Of
the speakers stand and was an object
Of considerable curiosity u 1t was handsomely ely

Queen of the Isles. On the 2sth of May 1868, this

At hafpast three O'Clock Father Mcnamara called
the attention OF the asSembage TO the aet that the

arrived. Bishop Loughlin, of Brooklyn; Bishop Nc

Nathaniel CdldtveH Us. The NeD Jersey Steamboat
COnpany.-This case occupied TINS court one week
on trial, and was concluded yesterday morning by
verdict for plaintiff Caldwell, citizen of Indiana
was on the Goth Of october, 1865 passenger on the
defendants steamer ST. John on the trip from Albany
to New York. When this city the boiler OF the
vessel exploded severely scalding plaintiff about the
feet and lower limbs, the steam and hot water rush.
ing In great volume into the stateroOm which he
occupy ing These injuries were so severe as to per-
manently disable him. An immense amount of tes-
timony was presented by the defence TO the care
and prudence exercised by them in the selection of
iron for the construction OF the boiler its method and
principles OF construction and its management by
the defendants servants. The jury retired to debe-
rate at about three O'Clock Wednesday afternoon and
was directed to return a sealed verdict. The jury
was out all night, and at quarter before twelve
O'Clock yesterday they came into court and stated
that they were unable to agree.
The court then stated that the case was one OF
great importance, had been argued by counsel on both
sides with great ability and that 1t was probable that
cumstances of the case which could be presented to
any jury mad been laid before them. The court be-
leved, therefore, that it their duty, II possible
to agree upon verdict and that the case having
been as fully developed to them as possible, 1t was
hardly proper to compel the parties to come again
into court and increase costs by new trial.
The jury then asked for instructions as to some
doubts which had arisen in their minds regarding
the effect of the evidence of the witnesses King
Wright and Canfield
The court instead of expressing any opinion on
the subject directed the stenOgrapher to read the
jury the testimony Of those witnesses, and the jury
again retired.
in about half an hour they returned into court and
rendered verdict for plaintiff in the Of $40 O0O
The court added an allowance of five per cent to
counsel.
This is the pioneer to a number OF actions now
pending, the causes Of which are based upon this
accident, and this decision will materially influence
the disposition OF the other cases

of these trains is said to be only temporary,

forslhe roads interested to have run them for a

again, the managers of these railroads will find
