UDDERzooK's physical organization has
become considerably impaired since his
late trial. His pulse is very irregular, and
his spirits appear to have taken a sort of
demented turn in comparison to what he
exhibited prior to the finding of the verdict.
He converses less than formerly, and what
he has to- say does not partake Of that
cheerfulness which so characterized his
manner up to the closing Of his trial. We
understand that at the putting of Udder-
zook and his wife in the prison cell, on
Thursday last, he (the prisoner) wept dur
ing nearly all the interview, but the wife
maintained the same composure as charac-
terized her during her husband trial. He
states that parties will be presented at the
coming trial, if such is granted, as will
swear to their having approached by the
insurance companies to testify against him.
His appetite has also failed him, and he
talks in very different manner from what
he did some months ago. His mother is
also here, and will remain until after her
sons second trial has been granted or re.
jected. Westchester (Pa.) Neacs.

ANOTHER ALLEGED SAMPLE MER-
CHANT.-Mr. E. S. Deane, of New York,
was before the police court this morning,
charged with selling or offering for sale
goods, &C., without license. From the
testimony it appears that Mr.. Deane was
connected with house in New York who
manufacture fire-proof safes and scales, and
that the agency for these articles is in the
hands of two of our merchants, Messrs. A..
Y. Stokes & Co., agent for the former, and
Fl. M. Smith C Co., agents for the lat
ter. 1t seems that he always operates
in connection with these houses, and
that they desire the benefit of his
visits, he having thorough knowledge of
the manufacture Of the article named.
When either firm have a sale on hand
and Mr.. Deane is here, he assists them to
that end. Mr.. Tower, of the firm Of
Smith & Co., stated that Mr.. Deane was
as much in his employ as asy clerk in his
establishment. Justice White reserved
his decision until tomorrow. Mr.. Deane
was bailed for his appearance, with Mr.. I.
s. Tower as surety.

CITY NEWS.

The CASE OF THE UNITED STATES
VS.. RUSH BURGESS, INTERNAL REvE
NUE. COLLECTOR. The evidence in this
case, which charges irregularity IN the
office of the collector of internal revenue
of this district, which was commenced on
Tuesday last, was resumed by Commits.
sloner Shields in an ante.room adjoining
the United States courtroom at IL m. to-
| day. Previous to the commencement of the
examination little spat occurred between
Mr.. Lyon, who appeared in connection
with Colonel Jenkins as counsel for Mr..
Burgess, and the United States district at
torney in relation to the issuance of q
respond to a subpoena, Mr.. Lyons requesting
that oath should be made requiring the
production Of papers necessary to the
cause. The district attorney made the
necessary oath asking their production,
and the marshal left at once for the pur-
pose of serving the same upon Messrs.
Burr, Fleck and johnson.
During his absence Mr.. FL. L. Pelouze
was called as a witness and questioned as
to the integrity of Major johnson, and
stated that so far as his knowledge was
concerned, he was man whom he
would believe on oath.
Captain Bohonon was examined as to
whether or not he knew. that Major
johnson was absent from the city during
the month of September. His response
was he did not know.
Captain G. W. Burr, deputy collector, az
peared and stated that he did not have the pa
pers called for, that they werein the custody
Of Mr.. Burgess, the collector. The district
attorney then asked the commissioner to
have Mr.. Burgess, the collector of internal
revenue, summoned.
Mr.. Lyon objected, upon the ground that
man could not be made to testify against
himself, and criticized the request of the
district attorney in strong terms, and said
that this was malicious, personal ard
political prosecution.
District Attorney Wells said that per-
sonally he believed the same, and that the
accused was warm, personal friend
of his, but in his official position
it was his duty to prosecute the case, and
he should do 50. he recognized that the
accused occupied the position of two men
he was present as Rush Burgess and as
the collector of internal revenue &C., &c.
Mr.. Lyon, in view of what the attorney
had said, hoped the commissioner would
dismiss the case, and offered letter from
Commissioner Douglass in support of his
motion.
Mr.. Wells hoped the commissioner
would do no such thing, as he believed in
this case there was probable cause of guilt,
and he hoped the commissioner would send
Mr.: Burgess on to the grand jury.
The commissioner decided to have Mr..
Burgess summoned, and his counsel re-
quired it to be sworn to, whereupon Mr..
Hamilton Bingham swore it out, and the
commissioner handed the same to the mar.
shal, who Immediately served it upon
the collector of internal revenue, Mr..
Burgess. He was then asked to
take the stand, and through his
counsel, Mr.. Lyon, he refused to
testify. The district attorney asked
that Mr.. Burgess be sent on for con-
tempt of court. This the commissioner
refused to do, and adjourned the further
hearing of the case until tomorrow morn
ing at II o'clock.
