Auuske Jams, Heirs Again Fo,Ied.

IL the days OF miracles and wonders had not en-
tirely passed away, the Anueke Jams neirs' suits
against Trim ty Church would surely be accredited
TO superhuman agencies. In no other way, IN fact,
can the host OF claimants, contes tants, and OF
course heirs, be accounted for, whose unexpected
sprnglng into existence once ry year causes
sOch trouble to the trustees or the richest eccesas
tical corp Ioraton in the world-TTinty Church.
The divine utterance, ~ can or those stones
raise up children unto Abraham might almost be
accepted as the solution OF the phenomena Of so
many of Anneke JAMS descendants putting in an ap-
peaTance every once in while. to frighten the old
fogies-the Trinity trustees-frOm their pr0prety
and fill the pockets or the lawyers especially OF
those on the winning trrDty church, side. Judge
McCunn, before whom the last "rec0rded" suit of
this intcrmnable litigation wss held, in the Supe-
ror Court, deals legal 'sockdolager' to the batch
bunal over which he presides. How they VIII feel
when they read Judge McCunns opinion
in to-days issue OF the Herald may
be more easily conceived than described. Judge
McCunn is a hard hitter delivering from the
ST ouder every time, and he 10 manages his foils,
grourd be foundt to put zone In, or hit back or
to give an adversary chance OF putting a
legal 'head on him" in any way. This fact
makes the case as he presents 1t tn his
ruling on the motion to amend the complaint on
the part of the ADneke JAMS heirs hard one for
said heirs, and to have ghost OF chance to suc-
ceed in their very mythical enterprise they
must bring their suit into some other court
than that in which the said practical Judge presides
This Anneke JAMS Trinity Church controversy re-
minds OF the Schleswi2 Holsten difficulty, which
so long bothered the pates of European statesmen
that Lord Pamerst0n once declared, when ques-
TONED on the subject, that he had been told abont
quite forgotten every circumstance connected with

q dance. When, however, he had reached the age
of seventeen he obtained a situation as clerk in
silk warehouse in London, which he left six months
Lushington, Cornhill. Three months passed, when
he lost his place, but Immediately obtained another
situation from Barber Sons, bill brokers, on leav-
ing whom he entered into the employment Of NetV-
mans Echo List. The failure of this paper again
threw him out OF work, ana he decided upon becom-
ing printer; but somehow he never could learn to
set types correctly Two more years followed, dur
ing which he earned scanty living as CONNER
Meantime Holland had imbloed taste for the
theatrical profession, and on his return to England
he sought and obtained an engagement at the
Olympic Theatre. Here he first appeared in charac
ter, playing "Tom" In AL at Coventry This was iu

years playing all the low comedy parts and making
himself general favOTite with the frequenters OF
the theatre on the 14th of December, 1885, he left
Wallack's and Joined Chrsty's Negro Mnstrels,

Mr.. Holland was again engaged at Wallacks, an
remained there till the close Of the season OF 1858
His last engagement was at Days Fifth Avenue

OF late years the veteran actor could not do much
the stage. He had begun to feel the effects OF old
age. Nevertheless he was always sure of an engage
ment and of receiving the kindest treatment from
the managers. Last spring he was given benefit
which netted handsome sum OF money. on this
occasion he endeavored to return thanks but his
emotion prevented his giving utterance to words
The old actor was a general fsvorte with theatre
goers and with members Of his profession. His
death will he deeply regretted 10y all who knew HIN

LONDON, Dec. 21.-Advices have been re-

resolute, and confident of success. Provisions
are plentiful. There have been no disorders
whatever.
The Capture of Nuits.
The first dispatches announcing a German
victory at Nuits in the Department Cote d Or,
on Friday last, were exaggerated. The number
of prisoners captured, it now seems was six
hundred only, instead of six thousand, as at
first reported.
The March on Havre.
The news this morning from the German army
of the North is important. General Manteuffel
is again marching on Havre, this time with a
much larger force than before. The French
report that they have taken measures to resist
An engagement is reported to have already oc-
Cured at BOlbec, only II miles from Havre, in
which the French were victorious and Prussian

to Vervins.
The Germans, on a

recently attacked the corps of General Faid-

with considerable loss.

increases, though trade is about as dull as It
well can be. Bankers, as a rule, are willing to

of the recent business failures in some important

of paper is taken at the banks at 6 per cent.

Affairs at Paris.


LONDON, Dec. 21.-There is no later impor-
tant war news from France. The reports of
yesterday in regard to mobs and riots in Paris
lack confirmation, and according to the latest
accounts the tone Of public sentiment in that
city continues hopeful, not unmixed with heroic
defiance. Notwithstanding the fact that famine
is almost at hand, the citizens and soldiers are
cheerful and confident Rumors OF French
victories in the field have an effect almost as sus-
tanning as food, and the unanimity among all
classes in support of Trochu is almost wonder
full.
On the Capitulat tion of vhionv nviIIe
5000 French troops were paroled. A majority
of the besieged were much enraged because of
the surrender, and some troops threatened to
explode the magazines, but were dissuaded
from their purpose upon the appearance of
women and children, who on their knees be-
sought submission. During the action fifty
thousand shells were thrown into the city, in
volvipg damages of over $1,000 900.
