RoBBERIEs IN PALACE CARS.

In August 1873 Mrs. Sophia Stewards came to Jersey
City by way of the Erie Railroad. Her husband, Mr.
Stewards tho lawyer two children and nurse, accom-
panied her They took Pullman palace car, paying
$S for a special compartment. Previous to retiring
Mrs. Stewards took off from her fingers three diamond
rings put them in her pocketbook, and then put her
pocketbook into her dress pocket In the morning the
rings were gone, during the night,
as alleged, having entered their sleeping apart
ment and distracted the rings from her
pocketbook She brought suit against the Pull
man Palace Car Company to recover s1oS9, the
alleged value of the missing jewery The'case came
to trial yesterday before Judge Van Brunt, holding
Trial Term of the Court of Common Pleas. The an
swer the jurat to which signed by General Horace
Porter former private secretary OF President Grant,
and now Vice President of the Pullman Palace Car
Company. interposes general denial OF the allega
tions set forth in the complaint. 1t was further
ayerred that the paace Evening Star upon which
the robbery is said to have been committed, at
that time the property OF the Erie and Atlantic Sleep
ing Car Company, and therefore that If there was any
liability did not rest upon the defendants in the suit
Various witnesses were examined for the prosecu-
tion including the plaintiff who detailed in very clear
and straightforward manner the circumstances attend
ing the loss OF her diamonds On the conclusion for the
prosecution motion was made TO dismiss the CON-
plant, which was argued at considerable length by
Mr.. Abraham Green behalf of the defendants, and
Mr.. Anthony r. Dyett in opposition to the motion.
Judge Van Brunt took the ground that the lost dia
monds being personal property, wero kept entirely
under control OF Mrs Stewards and that in respect TO
its loss the company could not be held liable even
under the rules OF law regulating the liabilities OF inn
keepers or public He therefore dismissed the
might 60 the jury; but his entreaties were of no
avail

HARRY GENETs COURT HOUSE.

BY rather singular coincidence, while tho 900 900
sutaganst Tweed is being tried in one corner OF the
Court House, the defendant himself being absent in
the diagonal opposite, before Judge Donohue,
was being tried yesterday the suit brought by the city
against Harry W. Genet to recover the moneys he
charged with having fraudulently obtained from the
city in connection with the building of the Harlem
Court House. the defendant in the latter suit also being
absent. But the fugitive Genet was paltry
peculator compared with the Titanic Tweed,
and neither Is there so , much money TO be
mado by prosecuting lawyers and so, of
course but short work made OF Mr. Gcnet's
case. In fact 1t was only an inquest, there being
defence put in. The principal witnesses were Richard
G. Hatfield and Artemus 5. Cody. The former had ex-
amined the amount Of materials furnished the Court
House the work done, and gave estimate of tho
amount OF money actually required TO pay for the
material thus furnished and the work performed Mr.
Cody showed the warrants drawn account of the
Court House. and the whole thing resolved itself into
simple matter of addition and subtraction. verdict
was rendered $204 $50 favor OF tho city against
Genet with 81, 500 extra allowance to counsel

ABOUT IMMIGRANTS.
OF the immigrants who come TO thi

OF the immigrants who come TO this
Puget Sound country there seems to be
two grades First q class which Josh
Billings so humoSously describes as
lacking. principally. in 'go-aheadative-
ness'-tbose who belong to the crowd
that is always waiting for something
To turn mp" and always complaining
because that something. they scarcely
know what, doesn't turn up. They
come here without that knowledge of
life which the commonest observation
should have taught them, and with ex-
aggerated ideas concerning the country,
thinking that they may here obtain a
living and perhaps competence with
but little if any labor; and when they
fairly realize that here, as elsewhere,
wealth is the reward Of persistent in.
dustry and economy only. and that If
they ever acquire it it will be at the
expense of much sturdy labor, they are
disappointed and disheartened, and dis.
gtisted with the country. Many OF
them would like good farmland
there are thousands of them yet with
their rich fruitage in store-but they
lack resolution and are not willing
10 90 into our. forests aud hew one out,
and enjoy the fruits of honest toll
81 hundreds Of Others have already
down. They complain of the obstacles
To be overcome, bat DO not remember
that the we'll cultivated lands of the
wealthy New England, as well as many
other Of the Eastern States, were once
covered with almost "a dense fores t,
aud with a soil less productive than
much of ours, and that Notwithstanding
all that that strong wills aud stou. arms
soon converted those forests into
smiling plains.
The second class are men of differ
ent mould who come here with reason
able expectations and firm resolve, and
hence are not disappointed. They are
like the mole in the sand heap-bound
to come out right side up somewhere
and somehow who shape circum-
stances. rs it were, aud go TO work with
a will. TO push their way through and
turn something up"
From them We never hear any com
plant aud of such class of immigrants
We cannot have too many to help devel-
op the varied and rich resources Of our
Territory.
