and the presence here also OF Colonel De Kay, Gov
ernor Dix's military secretary, who happens to
nnd here many acquaintanceS, who have not seen
him since he lad, resident OF this pretty little
village. The proceedings were not commenced
until nearly noon, out OF respect to the memory Of
Charles Read, son Of Mr. A. A. Read, proprietor OF
the Nassau Hotel In the ballroom OF which estab-
hshment the inquest has hitherto been held.
Coroner Bays assembled the jurors in large
room attached to the Pavilion Hotel, and the
usual motley and gossipng crowd soon eongre-
gated to hear the proceedings. District Attorney
Tuthll and Messrs. Young and Platt appeared as
counsel Tor the people heretofore and Colonel De
Kay occupied seat near the Coroner
Public interest in the case is undergoing a very
thorough revival throughout this section, mainly
in consequence OF the anticipated interference Of
Governor DIX, and much satisfaction is expressed
at his action. The public will have to discriminate
closely and harmonize facts and statements with
extraordinary skill, however 10 be able TO draw
much consolation from to-day's testimony The
