MISCELLANEOUS.

MISCELLANEOUS.
Alderman Rayl stated that he would make G
report on the subject Of the city schools at the
next meeting
Mr. Mariner read petition from Nancy
Mays, q colored woman, protesting against al
legged brutal treatment by Policeman Badget of
her husband, Nelson Mays, a man Of unsound
mind, asking pecuniary aid for himself and
f4mily, and also that the conduct of the officer
above named be investigated, that he be dealt
with as it merits.
Alderman YaFdley said that he knew some
thing of the case mentioned and hoped that re-
lief would be extended by the Board to the
helpless family mentioned in the petition and
also that Policeman Badgett would be expelled
from the force. The matter would be tested in
the courts, for the colored people of the city
wished that justice should be done.
Alderman Atkin suggested that Assistant
Marshal Cliburne be heard on the subject.
Mr. Cliburne stated that Nelson Mays wife
had asked that he be arrested, as had other citi-
zens as he was threatening the lives Of his chill
dren. Policemen were sent in pursuit of Mays,
one of whom, Mr.. Badgett, had fred a shot to
intercept his flight, and after overtaking him
had struck Mays several slight blows when he
was put in the calabOose
Mr. Cliburne was asked if there were any
signs of ill-treatmcnt visible. He replied that
the blows of the officers mace had drawn
blood.
Alderman Jones moved that an appropriation
of $40 dollars be granted foI the relief of Mays
family.
The Mayor gave an extended account Of the
action of the officer in the arrest Of Nelson
Mays, in which he seemed to think that it was
iustifable under the circumstances.
Alderman Campbell thought Mays was able
to make his own living but did not wish to
work and trusted to public charity for support.
He gave as his opinion that he needed mas
ter. There spoke the old Virginia blue blood
Alderman Jones motion appropriating
money for the relief Of Mays family was
adopted
Mr.. Henderson moved Shat the judgment and
costs Of case against Policeman Pat Cain for
seizing gun belonging to a colored man named
David Mays be paid by the corporation, as he
was acting under instruction. Carried. This
gun was seized in the year 1866.
Mr.. Rayl moved that so much of the petition
of Nancy Mays as refers to policeman Badgett
be laid on the table. Carried.
4 motion to adjourn was made, which was
waived to allow Mr.. Lewis to make a remark,
which gave Alderman Yardley an opportunity
to put in his oar, when, as tdid not keep stroke
with that of the gentleman who had preceded
him, the motion to adjourn was renewed and

Dreadful Story of a Diamond Ring.

As already stated, among the victims of
the recent railroad smash-up at Metuchen,
Il. j., was a Danish couple named POtass-
en-, but two months married. Mr.. POtassen
being the son of a Danish nObleman.
They were on their bridal tour, and were
en- route for San Francisco, where POtaSs-
EMS brother is Danish Consul. When the
terrible crash came all was darkness and
confusion for few moments; but the gen.
tleman soon recovered consciousness, and
his first thought was of his bride. An i'm
mediate search was made for the lady, who
was at last found beneath heap of debris,
senseless and covered with blood. Upon
raising her UP her husband was Mortified
to find that one of her arms had been COM
pletely torn off. The unfortunate lady
was removed to shelter and the husband
began the sickening task of seeking his
wife's arm. He proclaimed that upon one
of the fingers was the diamond wedding
ring, jewel worth many hundred dollars,
and instantly a general search was begun.
Among the prowlers about the wreck was
a train hand, who was observed to secrete
something under his coat and walk away.
He was soon Overhauled, and on preceiv-
ing that he had been detected he threw
down his burden, which proved to be the
lost arm. 1t was picked up by the noble
man, who removed the ring and caused
the arm to be taken care of. The lady
was brought to st. Barnabas' Hospital in
Newark, where she now lies in fair way
of recovery. y.-NclU York Herald.

Seventy Thousand Greet Grant at Boston,

| The Boston correspondent of the New
York Herald describes the reception ex-
tended to Grant and Wilson at the Boston
| Peace Jubilee on the Goth. In anticipa-
| ton of the event the Coliseum was filled,
and full 10000 persons shouted them a
hearty welcome.
Here is the correspondents story:
The vast audience that had gathered to
meet General Grant filled every available
space. Viewed from the parquette there did
not seem to be vacant seat in the vast au-
ditorium, while the aisles were crowded
with people, The dresses of the ladies lent
remarkable brilliancy and freshness to the
scene gay ribbons fluttered over fair faces,
and the flowers in the bOnnets made the
parquette bloom like q rose garden. From
an early hour the audience had began to
assemble, in spite Of the threatening state
of the weather, and as the day advanced 1T
became evident that the Coliseum would
be for once decently filled. Few, if any,
however looked forward to the immense
gathering which actually took place.
After several dissappointments a pro-
lOnged cheer was heard family and then
coming nearer, the musicians being already
mustered on the platform, and, as a loud
huZza rent the air, Gilmore gave the signal
to the band,
AS THE PRESIDENT ENTERED
the mail building. 1t would be impossible
TO do justice to the scene of enthusiasm
which ensued. Every one was OH his or
or feet, then on the seats, and some
adventurous people were mounted
on the rails. Innumerable tiny hands
waved irreproachable snowy white hand
kerchiefs, and manlier arms fiOurished
beavers, while the quiet little gentleman
who rules the great republic walked to his
seat and smilingly acknowledged the
homage rendered him. Still it was evil
IDENTIFY too much for him, and if he could
have spoken his mind he would undOubt-
edly have repeated his famous phrase,
Let US have peace" AS soon as the
strains of the bands had died away and the
ladies could be persuaded to resume their
seats the bouquet of artists and chorus
sung
''SEE THE CONQUERING HERO COMES !"
from Handel's Judas Maccabeus."
