In the Brooklyn City Court, yesterday, the
civil suit brought by Theodore Tilton against
Henry Ward Beecher was called up before Judge
McCue. Judge Reynolds occupies place on
the bench Mr.. Morris, counsel for plaintiff,
said he was ready to proceed, but Mr.. Shearman,
on behalf Of the defend ant said he was of opin-
ion that before the trial was called the appeal
should be heard on the order recently issued by
Judge Nelson (to compel rilton to furnish a bill
of specihcations). Ex-Judge Fullerton, asso-
ciate counsel for plaintiff, urged an immediate
trial He asked the Court TO fix day when the
appeal could be heard.
General Tracy, on behalf OF Mr.. Beecher, SAID
there was no disposition on his part to delay the
case, but he WAS desirous that it should be tried
bv the Court and not by the public, as the other
| side wish it, After some further conversation,
the Court fixed Friday next at 10 o'clock, as the
time for hearing argument on the appeal.
| District Attorney Winslow then moved thal
| Francis ID. Moulton should plead to the indct
ment in the case of Miss Edna Dean Proctor
| Ex-Judge Fullerton demurred, on the ground
| that as the other case was pending it would be
| an improper proceeding. He thought counsel fo
complainant was displaying unnecessary haste
The District attorney denied the undue haste
This case he said, was only coming up in It's reg
| ular order The defence then asked and OBJ
tanned postponement until this morning to pu
| in a special plea, and this terminated tho pro
ceedings for the day. There were but few per
sons in court, and none of the excitement tina
might have been expected.

Trlai of the Famc Engine.

BONE BEAUTIFUL WORK ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH
SEVERAL sIzEa OF EozzLEs-AooEPTANCE OF
THE STEAMER
The threatening skies did not prevent the for
NAL trial of the new Fame engine, yesterday af-
to moon. About two O'Clock the company's
horses were sharnessed to the steamer, which
they conveyed to the sluice on the South side,
followed by large crowd which received fresh
accessions all the way out, and the spectators
continued to arrive long after the trial had be-
gun, and until several hundred people had gath
cred at the place designated.
The trial lasted a little more than half an hour.
1t was the formal trial of the engine by the ma
ker, Mr. Gould, In the presence OF the company.
No distances, however, were measured, the de-
sire being simply to witness the performances
of the steamer under the direction of its builder
without reference to it's forcing ability. Still
some very pretty streams were thrown through
noZ2les of various sizes. First, a lss nozzle
was tried and fine stream leaped through the
air vanishing into foam about $50 feet away.
Next a IL inch nozzle was applied and a stream
forced farther still, falling at the very foot o
the river bank. 2 and "a inch nozzles were
then tried in succession with splendid results
and then two u inch nozzles were placed upoI
the hose through which two streams were forcet
from the steamer at one time, vanishing into
mist in the air, and falling like rain about l4
feet away.
The engine was not forced up to her full ability
we were informed, and her capabilities were no
fully tested. The company, however,, express
unqualified approval of it, and upon the returi
to the engine house it was accepted and the con
dltions of purchase complied with. The rteame
is therefore now fully mustered into our Fir
Department, and an additional safeguard is thu
thrown around the property of our citizens il
case of conhagration.
At the trial yesterday pounds Of steam wer
raised in 5 minutes and in minutes and ii sec
onds % lbs. had been gained, with which opel
work, and a member of the company remarke
to us that it will hardly be necessary to kindle
fire in the furnace at the time of starting to fiji
unless it be close at hand, as ample time will
afforded to raise steam even after reaching tn
spot before action can be commenced.

pAnrIsAN DEMOCRATIC REPORTS FROM THE SOUTH
MORE FAVORABLE RETURNS FROM ALABAMA
AND LoUIsIANA.
Especial to the N. Y. Republic
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.
Alabama Congressman, who have arrived to-
day from Alabama, state that the Associated
Press reports giving that State Government to
the Democrats are not correct. The result can
only be known by the official count of the Legis-
lature, which is to be made tomorrow. 1t is be-
lieved that the result of this count will show that
the State has gone Rspublcan. The intimidation
of the Republican vote in Alabama seems to have
been greater than at any previous election.
Social ostracism was everywhere practiced, In
some localities resolutions were passed by which
entire Democratic communities resolved not to
speak to or recognize white Republican natives
In their own towns. Clergymen refused to
speak to members of their own congregations
who intended to vote the Republican ticket, and
Republicans were everywhere spoken of and
treated as public enemies.
Private information from Illinois shows that
the Legislature is undoubtedly Republican.
Farwell is elected in the Third Chicago district.
Hurlbut has defeated Farnsworth by 1000 ma
jority. Private dispatches from Louisiana show
that three Republican Congressman have GER
tainly been elected-Darrel, Morey and Nash
and that it is yet possible that the count Of the
Returning Board will show that the Republicans
| have saved the State.
