ALMOST A MURDER,

About two weeks ago Teresa Smith, girl
only fourteen years OF age, ran away from her
parents at "a Barrow street, and went to live In
house of ill-fame in Wooster street. Her parents
instructed young man named James A. Savage re-
siding In Clarke street. to hunt her up and bring her
home. On Sunday night he met her in South Fifth
avenue, in company with young man named John
Rocket, of 121 Beecker street, and demanded he
should deliver her up for the purpose of restoring
her to her parents. Rocket who was intoxicated
at the time, refused to do as requested and abused
Savage for interfering with her. Savage followed
them as far as Beecker street, when he at
tempted 10 take the girl from him by force;
but Rocket, determined not to be thwarted
in this way, drew O seven.barreled revolver
from his pocket, and, pointing IL at the head
OF Savage fired one shot, the ball fortunately MISS
ing its intended victim, and nattenng out against
the brick wall at his back Officer O'Neill OF
the Eighth precinct, hearing the firing rushed
across the street and seized the weapon as
Rocket was In the act OF firing the second shot A
desperate struggle ensued, during which the revol-
yer was again discharged before the Officer could
wrest the pistol from the infuriated man. He was
finally conveyed to the station house, corner OF
Prince and wooster streets, with the assistance OF
Citizen and locked up for the balance OF the
night. Yesterday morning he was arraigned be-
fore Justice Cox, at Jefferson Market and claimed
to have been intoxicated at the time OF the shoot
ing, but was committed in default OF $4,000 ball. to
appear for trial. The girl was restored to her
parents, where she Is at present

commencement of the Trial OF Ex-
Chosen 'Freeholders and Others for
Fraud.
Indictments have been pending for many months
in Paterson against ex Chosen Freehoders Zebulon
Sutton and William L. Thompson, and John J. Corco-
ran and william 8. Yerberry contractors,
for obtaining money under false pretences
from the county. They have been deferred
from time to time, and although set
down peremptorily for June II, the general impress
sion seemed to be that they would be still further
postponed, but upon being called yesterday
morning Judge Barkaow would entertain no
motion for further adjournment and ordered the
trial to proceed.
Ex-Chosen Freehoder Zebulon Sutton was first
placed on trial, and his case was before the Court
the county for the prosecution, while the defence
was conducted by Messrs. John Hopper, G. NJ.
Ward and Isaac Van Wagner. The Indictment
upon which Mr.. Sutton was tried yesterday there
are several indictments OF a similar nature) was
that OF obtaining $112 from the county on bill
tor work alleged to have been done by one John
Gormley, and the money for which was drawn by
Sutton on GOrmey's account. According to the
evdel Je Yesterday there no such man as CORN
ley, at least he had never done any work for the
county, and the inference was that the work
charged for If done at ALL done by Sutton,
and he paid for it, which would OF itself be contrary
to law, which prohibits officials from bein interestedg
in such things. The testimony yesterday was
mostly confined to the facts OF Sutton having pre-
sented the bill and drawn the money. The bill itself
had been endorsed as correct by Sutton and Thomp-
son themselves and upon their endorsement was
1t paid by thee Ollector. The testimony to prove
that this money was fraudulenty obtained Is yet to
be forthcoming, excepting the fact that no such
work as charged for could be found.
During the noon recess OF the Courts the notes OF
be strong suspicious that some OF the defendants in
the case had hand In their abstraction.

Orlando N. Josyn vs. The Pacific Mail Steamship
Company.-The defendants company was incorpo-
rated In April, 1s4s, and by subsequent acts was
authorized to increase It's capital stock to
$2o,OOO,oo0 On May II, 1872, an act was passed by
the Legislature authorizing the reduction Of the
capital stock to 900 upon obtaining the writ
ten consent OF the stockholders owning two-thrds
OF the stock, and to this end permission was given
same can be purchased at prices not ex-
ceedng the par value the shares purchased to be

ana not to be issued again. Suit was brought by
the plantln, stOckhOlder, to prevent the company
rom reducing their capital stock In compliance
temporary Injunction was obtained restraining the
ohlcers OF the company from making such reduction
In the manner specified In the act Judge Larre-
more, in lengthy, able and exhaustive opinion de-
cided yesterday that the Injunction could notbe sus-
talned. He holds that there Is nothing In the mov-
ing papers upon which to form reasonable pre-
sumption or the present or future inability OF the
company to discharge its liabilities mere appre-
hension In this respect was not enough to warrant
judicial interference. The Legislature he further
held, had the right to modify the original charter

holders unless Is should appear that such action was

ordered dissolution OF the injunction.

The stock market was steady and even firm most
Of the forenoon, and there was considerable dispo-
sition to look for harmonious proceedings at the
Geneva Conference. But the afternoon brought
cable advices OF course on the part Of England
which was interpreted to be virtual rejection Of
the treaty by that Power, and az the London price
Of Erie also came much lower precipitating
sharp downward movement In the price
here, the whole list gave way, and the closing
hour OF business witnessed the lowest stage
OF the market reached In the reaction
since the spring bu0yancy. This reversal OF the
current overlook fresh speculation In Quicksilver
and turned 1t back between three and four per
cent Otherwise the feature was Erie, which In
sympathy with the London decline referred to went
or from 59h to 81. Boston, Hartford and Erie
advanced from 77s to 50 the discovery that the
transfer books had been suddenly closed Friday
evening, but reacted to 7x. Pacific mail was no
exception to the weakness OF the afternoon, not
withstanding an order OF the Common Pleas dis
solving the injunction that was to restrain the
company from cancelling so per cent OF the share
