THE TWEED CASE.
PLEAS FOR DELAY ovERRULED.

II WAS with really relieved feeling yester-
dav that the usual audience IN the Oyer and Terminer
settled down from the strain Of last weeks e1cemeht
10 the soberer mder proceedings connected Win 'Dc
Tweed trial.
Mr. Tweed was early in his place with his little retnue
of talent. Messrs Field Burrlll, Graham, Root and
Rartett while the new Dstrict-Auorney, MI Phelps
appeared for the prosecution assisted by Mp Pecknam
and Mr. Treman the latter having transferred MS aDo
from the side of prisoner to that OF people.
Judge Davis having taken his seat, DistrictAttorhey
Phelps moved that the Court try the case OF the FeoP
agt VIM NJ Tweed. Nj. Field requested Information
as TO the Indictment Mr. Peckham said that IL was
the one in which he was impeaded with Connolly ana
Hall Mr. Field proposed that they go into the motions
for argument to quash two OF the indictments. MT
Peckham declined TO take mp anything except So "i'
for which they had given notice.
Mr. Burrill denied that there any definite order
setting down FOR trial the case which the defendant
was impeadcd with Han and Connolly. 1he houeo
simply mentioned /" The People against Tweed
Judge Davis said that there no entry on tho
minutes except that the defendant pleaded not guilty
Mr. Burril said that day was assigned, ana they
were unprepared for trial.
Mr. Peckham-We move this case for trial
Mr. Burr-Before assigning day for the trial Of this
case we would state to your Honor that have motion
10 make which should be disposed OF first. viii read
the affidavit state the TO your Honor d,
Judge Davis-The case was set down for THIS day
here with the expectation that te cse "9 ~ Oo

An affidavit here submitted IN support Oh a moton @
10 pOstpOne I'm which the defendant states that ne mas

in the msdemeanor Indictment that sulcleht tle nds
NOT lapsed for him TO read through much less examine
them that it was only fair that the prosecution shOuu
select transactions from the large number men
toned 40 that he could prepare for his defense. The
motion for pOstpOnement denied, the Court saying
that did not appear that the defense were ready
any one count and at such Of preparation the
limits OF a human life would scarcely suffice.
Mr. Graham then made long argument on the ques-
ton OF compelling the prosecution to elect on Whlch
counts they would 90 trial He claimed that the lu
dicmen was Yexaously long, and that the prosecution
would prove only five and then generously ABANDON the
other 45 counts. -,
After further argument, Mr.. Peckham informed the
Court that counsel had concluded that nothing more
could be done then, and the was adjourned unt
this morning. The jury will be impaneled to-day,
panel of one hundred having been summoned.

THE JUMEL ESTATE CASE.

AT the trial, yesterday, of the Jumel estate
case, Mr. OConor for the purpose Of testing the
curacy of the memory Of Mr.. Nordnc, who had as he
testified served occasionally in the of ls2D ques-
toned him concerning events which happened during
that war; and proposed 10 show that his testimony
tradicted OF his deposons. Mr. Chatfeld grounded
an objection to such a the following rule OF
law laid down in the of Howard agt the City Fire
Insurance Company:
credit be asked upon subjects the issue
which may ven conradcts y pepo ,
Judge Shpman admitted the sOundness OF the rule,
but held that it did not appyto this case, nasmuch
Mr. OConor questions appeared 10 be pertinent TO
issues joined in IT, Mr.. Nordne then subjected TO a
rigid crossexaminatiOn without, was claimed by
plaintiffs counsel contradicting himself the material
points of his testimony heretofore published
Mrs. Heay, granddaughter OF Major BallOu the al
leged father OF George Washington Bowen, testified that
the latter bore strong resemblance TO Mme JumeI and
Mr. Shafer wanted TO know If her longer than
hi3 own, and Mr. OConor objected TO Mr. Shaffers put
ting his ears In evidence The witness testified on the
crossexarnination that she between and wears
OF when she saw Nine Jumel and that she only saw
her once.
Madora Woodruff, daughter of Lavina Jones Nine.
Jumes alleged sister, testified that Mr. Chase the de-
fendant with Mr. Carter Of his counsel came 10 her
mothers house in Fftyhirdst and wanted TO see her
family records, saying that he was trying find Nine.
JumePs heirs that she told him there no need of
doing that because Nine Jumel had illegtimate son
In Providence; and that Mr. Carter said, 1 know all
about him, and he can't get the property"
This case has now been on trial for y five weeks;
and, in view Of the probability of ice lasting five more
weeks Judge shipman requested the Jurors 10 pos
their souls in patience"

SAFE ARRIVAL OF THE ApRIATIC.

The gratifying intelligence was, yesterday
received by cable from Queenstown Of the safe arrival
Of the White Star steamer Adriatc, after Of the
most remarkable passages Of the season. She crossed
the Sandy Hook bar Sunday morning, Dec. 49, and
reached Queenstown at 10 q. yesterday, making the
trip in days, hours, and 80 minutes. The departure
OF this steamer with partially damaged propeller was
made the occasion OF violent attack upon the Company
by morning newspaper, which was deprecated alike by
the general public and the other steamship lines in this
city That the alarm occasoned by this attack was
founded needs better confirmation than the fact that
the Adratic made the trip under such disadvantages
within hours of the time spent by the Inman steamer
City OF Brooklyn, which sailed the day. 1t Will
be remembered that the did hes
ate 10 send the u mails by the Adratc and that the
Company forwarded $4,000 Of its own gold by this
steamer.
