The death of Annie, eldest child Of
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Sumner, of which no.
tice is recorded in another column, is at
tended by circumstances peculiarly try
ing.
iir. Sumner is widely known in this
city. Coming here several years since,
he has been most successful in busl-
ness, and so devoted to it that he has
taken little time for recreation. Last
summer he decided to spend several
weeks at his old home, and the present
home of his parents, in Connecticut.
Closing his elegant residence on " alnut
Hills, the family went East tofemain
through the heated term. Meanwhile
Mr.. Summer was taken very i'll, and as
Fall approached il was decided that he
was not able to make the journey back
to Cincinnati, hence arrangements were
made for all to remain in Connecticut
through at least a part OF the winter.
Mr.. Sumner had SO far recovered his
health that they were to return about
February 1st, but within the last fort
night both the children were attacked
with scarlet fever and the eldest has
been placed in Jesus arms. Dear, gen.
tie, timid Annie, she was of too nne
mould TO meet earth's conflicts.
The body will eventually be brought to
Cincinnati for interment, but at present
the other child is still too ill for removal.
Desolate indeed will be the home TO
which those parents must come! They
will have the deepest sympathy OF a
large circle of friends and acquaint-
ances.

The asIton-Beecher Trial,

BROOKLYN, Jan. 25.-The Beecher trial
attracted the usual crowded audience in
Court to-day. Judge, jury, Moulton, and
the delegation Of Plymouth church re.
sumed their accustomed seats about II
O'Clock, but Mrs. Beecher and Mrs. Til
ton were absent.
After the opening of the Court Shear
man read from copy of Woodruff 4
Claflin's Weekly, Of November 2, 1872,
containing the alleged Beecher libel. He
confined himself to the one sentence
F"A prominent preacher Of Brooklyn lices
in open c0ncublndge acith Sererat members
Of his gock." 4ss
Fullerton objected to the reading of
any other portions; that it had no reler-
ence to defendant: 1t merely related TO
Moulton and Tilton, and it preferred no
charge against Beecher that he was
bound to meet in this case. Snearman
maintained that the whole story was an
affected case.
/, Beecher was in one part charged with
adultery, and MOulton was accused of u
vile crime in placing pistol to Beecher's
head, and demanding the paper contain
ing his friends wie's confession and ie-
traction. Mr.. Beach opposed it in
lengthy speech, contending that the read
. ing OF the whole story would embarrass
the Court and jury.
What Beecnef'S c0unSel wanted to read
was The atrocious sentiments of Mrs.
/, Woodruff on the marriage relation. At
terwards there was a speech from Ev-
arts. The Court allowed certain por-
tions OF the story to be read, under the
agreement that all immaterial para
graphs were to be stricken out. r.-
II, Slearman read almost the entry story
and Judge. Nelson admitted that part
where Mrs. Woodruff states that llreo-
dore was her pupil, and believed in doc
trines she adyocated. Tracy then again
began Moulton's cross examination.
q Regarding Iilton's true story witness
had heard most.Of it read. He hardly
recolIected the subjects of which it. treat
ed. 1t might have been written in an
swer to Woohulls publication. The ex-
animation i still in. progress. The an
swers of th1 witness are rather non
eommittal. 't

Coroner Maley and jury to-day com
menced an inquest into the circumstan.
ces of the death OF Herman Gri; pc, whose
dead body was found Oh the Cincinnati,
Hamilton e. Dayton railroad, Saturday
morning, and who is supposed to have
been murdered, one Henry Scwanke hay
ing been arrested on suspicion.
The first witness called was John
Grippe, who testified that be was broth
er OF the deceased and lived at No: ia
kBroalway.
lie stated that his brother was a man
of steady and temperate habits. who
never drank to excess, that he knew of
no difficulty between him and Schwanke,
and had never heard OF Schwanke max
ing any threats on his brothers. life.
Had never heard his brother make any
threats to commit suicide.
Officer Casper, OF the Tenth District
Police Station; testified that on Friday
night he and his partner found u man
lying in the road at Camp Washington
whom they supposed to be drunk, that in
answer to the question where he lived he
had said, "ln town about two squares off,"
that they had started with him to the
station-house, but were detained by a
man resembling Schwanke, who came
from the direction OF Cumminsville, and
who told them that he knew the man,
that he lived on Belts street, and that he
would take him home.
On this they left the two and went to
the station. Early next morning they
found the remains Of q man scattered
along the railroad line and had taken
them to Miller the undertaken, ana noti-
fed the Coroner Of the occurrence.
Officer Fennessy testified to substan-
TALLY the same as Casper. The investi-
CATION is still in progress.
An important fact brought out in the
testimony in the case OF Herman Grippe
is that the man Schwanke visited
the undertaker's establishment after
the remains had been taken in charge
by the Constable and before he knew
that Grippe was missing, to see them,
aud refused to. say positively whether
he identified them or not.
