THE AUSTRIAN PATENT LAWS AND THE
VIENNA EXHIBITION.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Mr.. b. Il. Hotchkiss has furnished the HERALD
another article under the above heading In which he
takes exception to my assertion that he is actuated
by revengeful feelings In his opposition to the
Worlds Exhibition viii you permit me TO add to
nv former communication that the suggestion
strikes me as somewhat peculiar that while mani
Testing so much anxiety to protect American ex-
bioitors against injury by exhibiting their goods at
vienna Mr.. Hotchkss and his associates are con-
stantly engaged in selling patents in Austria and
the other countries OF Europe.
If good showing be made In the American de-
partment OF valuable inventions the owners of
such inventions will be brought In direct contact
with purchasers. The latter will thus buy cheaper
and the former receive more for their inventions
than II sold 10y third parties. l must be pardOned
Tor believing That this Idea mas much to do with the
opposition.
Again, England has fully considered this subject,
and the result Is an overflow OF applications from
her best machinists and determined effort on her
part to secure the trade OF the East.
cannot help but believe that very great disap-
pointment will exist in our country, when 1t Is too
late, that we have been induced by interested par
ties from taking our deserved position in the Exhi-
biton. THOMAS B. VAN buren,,

OOR0NERs' WORK YESTERDAY,

Coroner keenan, yesterday held an inquest on

Of 40 Delaney street, who on New Years Day fell
rom the roof OF his house while shOvelling snow.
A verdict in accordance with the facts was rem
dered. Also upon Rosa Elliott, aged thirty-nve,
OF II Division street, who yesterday was found
dead in her bed. 1t Is believed death was the re.
suit OF heart disease. Also in the case OF Eliza
beth Cohen aged six years, OF So cherry street,
who was burned to death on New Years Day.
The Coroner also inquired into the death Of
Mr. Mcfarland, an old gentleman boarding at
the Belmont House, Fulton street, who died yes
terday morning OF old age. Deceased has resided
at the hotel for long time, and no suspicious Cir
cumstances attach to the case.

upon the remains Of Frank Rollins, aged fOrty-ive
years, who resided ut No. 434 West Thirty-seventh
street He was found lying dead at the foot OF the

THE MOUNTED POLICE.
Are They Paid to XIII !

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD 4.
The awe-inspiring sight OF apoliceman on horse
back seems not only calculated to strike terror
into the hearts Of the guilty, but the performances
Of the Centaur are also apt in Its literal meaning,
to "overwhelm" the innocent citizen. On The oc-
casion OF the fire at the Fifth Avenue Theatre l
found myself, with lady, In the centre OF a crowd
that had located itself near the curbstOnc OF the
sidewalk OF Madison Park, opposite Twentyf0urth
there was the centre OF Fifth avenue, with room
for carriages and sleighs to pass. For moment
there was sense OF danger around me, and with
tremendous cries OF "For Gods sake make
wayl' there dashed into the thickest of the
crowd In which found myself huge policeman
on q small horse. In an instant found myself
with the horse having brushed past me, and In
another l saw human being underneath the
horses feet and turned over and over on the
ground. The crowd that had closed In upon the
victim and the care l had to bestow upon
prevented me from ascertanng how many more
victims the equestrian had inundated, and only
heard the fervent wishes of the bystanders that
the policeman would at least have the decency to
situation. Now, all bodies who perform pub
lie service on horseback, such as our
cavalry, are enlisted originally from young
men whose limbs are supple, nor do they
perform any public service until they have been
thoroughly taught In the riding school how to sit
and manage horse. IL may therefore be well ap-
meetings or fires the lives and limbs OF poor pcdes-
TRANS may prove Jeopardized by middle-agcd men
who, perhaps, never sat horse before, and whose
sole qualifications for being hoisted on a horse
would consist In their being endowed by nature
with an unwiedy trunk OF body and great eonga-
ton OF their legs. The poor pedestrian in New
York Is, as we know, the sport Of every vehicle.
Still IL Is TOO bad that we should be tranpcd down
by men whom we support by our taxes and whose
equestrian capabilities our authorities are either
too unskilful or too careless to ascertain. q.

Summaries, Decisions and Cal
endars.

There was the largest assemblage, in point OF
numbers, at the Court Of Oyer and Terminer yes.
terday that has characterized the proceedings in
the Stokes trial since its commencement. The large
court room could not accommodate hall the num-
her OF people who congregated in the halls and
corridors. Great as the crowd was during the
morning session, after recess the throng was con-
kderably augmented and the room was densely
packed. There were representatives Of the fair
sex present TO the number OF o round dozen at
least and in all cases, they occupied prominent
ON unobstructedly while they themselves, no doubt
were DESTROYS to come in tor o fair share Of the
interest OF the occasion.
During the forenoon q number Of witnesses
were recalled by the prosecution, for
the purposes of rebuttal, but their evil
dence did not materially differ from
that given by them at their previous examina-
tions After the recess Mr.. Lyman Tremain, lead
ing counsel for the defence, proceeded to sum up,
addressing the jury for the defence. Counsel
made very eloquent appeal, and throughout held
the rapt attention of the audience Not the least
incentive to the sympathies OF all present might
be found In the presence OF the mother, brother
and sister OF the prisoner, who have faithfully re-
manned with him day In and day out during the
entire trial. Mr.. Tremain had not concluded his
able speech at the adjournment Of the Court. He
will resume this morning.
Yesterday Louis f. GOfed, second mate OF the
American ship Black Hawk, was charged before
Commissioner Shields with having, on the 21st Of
October, on the high seas, inflicted cruel and un
usual punishment on Andrew Stinwyst sailor
employed on that vessel 1t is alleged by the com
plainant that Goneld struck him with Delaying
pin, knocked him down ana kicked him in the
head and face with his heavy sea boots. Goneld
was held in 81, 900 bail for examination.

JEFFERSON MARKET POLICE COURT.

In view OF the recent holidays, Justice has been in
a lenient humor at JEFFERSON Market for the past
few days, and the numerous intoxicated and dis
orderly persons who have appeared there have
been mostly let of with reprimand or other very
mild punishment. The custom OF O certain class OF
ladies' OF devoting the I'd Of January to friendly
calling has also been recognized and those who
became so overcome by the festivities or the occa-
sion as to fall into the clutches OF the law under
the statute for the punishment OF drunkenness,
have been dismissed without the usual ten days,
thus demonstrating that our Judges know how TO
temper justice with mercy.
