THE WATER-MAsTE oIrEsrInN.


The order in relation to the waste OF water,
issued yesterday, by the Water Registrar.
has caused considerable commotiou among
the offenders. Already has Col. Lubey cut
of the supply from two hundred premises,
and II will not be again turned on until the
occupants OF such places give satisfactory
guarantee that the offense viii not be re-
peated, and when it shall have been repeated
the supply will be cut Off from the main for
good. A list of about three hundred addi-
tional premises is being prepared from which
the water will be cut off. Col. Lubey states
that his organization Is amply able TO attend
to all these cases. and the laws and water
regulations will fully sustain him in efforts
10 look after the interests and necessities of
families who pay water rents regularly and
get little or no water, and in many cases not
sufficient for common family use. Many
persons give the excuse that they leave the
water running to prevent the pipes from
freezing; but in answer to this the Registrar
tells them that If this is So then their plum D.
ing is defective and must be Temediei.

A CURIOUS SUIT.-Suit has been brought
in San Francisco by Morris SchlOss against
Esther SchloSs, which the Bulletin thus ex-
plains :-"The plaintiff AYERS that the de-
fendant is his niece; that in 1856 he paid her
expenses from Europe to California and
married her. Both are OF the Jewish faith,
and while the canOns of their church recOg-
nize as legal marriage between uncle aud
niece, the laws of California declare such q
marriage void, fact of which they were
ignorant. About ten years ago the plaintiff
failed in business, went into voluntary bank
Tuptcy, and received his discharge about two
years ago. After he had filed his petitioa in
bankruptcy and before his discharge, he had
accumulated about - 500. In December, 1855,
the defendant became a sole trader, and the
plaintiff furnished means to carry on bust
ness for their mutual benefit. The plaintiff
further says that he gave his entire time
and energy TO the business. and their accu-
mutations now amount to about $4,000, one
half of which he claims as his share. He
asks for dissolution of the copartnershiD,
for an accounting, and for the appointment
of a receiver"

AN ECONOMICAL MoURNER.-The Cincin-
natl Commercial tells this story: MANY
readers ofthe Commercial will remeno Der the
unfortunate accident to DR.. +. Glessner, who
died from the effects of fall down a flight of
stairs about year since, while in the act of
leaving the room OF a brother artist. on Vine
street, between Fifth and Sixth. He was a
very eccentric character, and for many years
lived retired life. He had few associates,
and, we believe, did not correspond with or
visit his only living relatives, two brothers,
who live in the northern part of the state.
His hebitS were very economical, and out OF
his earnings he had saved quite q neat little
sum, part of which was invested in real
estate in Columbiana county, and the re-
nainder was found among his personal eff
fectS, in a dingy room in the Ohio Medical
College, on Sixth street, which he had occu-
pied for many years. After the death of DR..
GlesSneF telegram was sent to his two
brothers, informing them of the sad event,
and two days later they arrived in the city
and attended the funeral. Al administrator
was appointed by the probate judge 10 settle
up the Affairs of the deceased. and among
other items presented was bill of one OF the
brothers amounting TO $3.50, itemiZed as
follows: Travelling expenses to aud from
Cincinnati, hotel bills. &C., $40; three days
time attending funeral, at $3.50 q day. $50.
The administrator, having plenty of funds,
and being aware OF the fact that after all bills
are paid the remainder OF the estate was to
be divided equally between the brothers,
paid the bill"

The Snyder Release Case.

NOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL OF JOHN GREEN.
In the Criminal Court, Judge Macarthur.
this morning, the motions for the discharge
of John Green from custody came up. 1t
will be recOliected that Green was charged
with offering 80 false recogniZance of bail''
in The name OF David Edes, giving a recOgni-
Zance for the appearance of Edward w. Sny-
der, the alleged Perry burglar, in the Police
Court on the Goth O. August last, "cOnspi-
racy" and accessory 10 grand larceny" He
was acquitted on the 6rSt-named indict-
rneut, and Mr.. Cook, his counsel, now moves
his discharge as 10 the first Indictment.
District AItOrney Wells said that the pros
ecution intended 10 move to set aside the
verdict
MT. Cook said that his object was to OBJ.
tain a judgment on the verdict, that when
the other cases are called ne may plead the
acquittal.
After some discussion the government
"a ed motion TO set aside the verdict and for
= 1 CIV trial in the "false recognizance case.'
Judge Macarthur inquired as to the case
Mr.. Cook intended 10 take up TO the General
Term, and being informed that it was the
Bernard May abortion case.
Mr.. Wells said-"The pleas and demur-

as TO the legality of the jury: should il be
decided that il was illegal will IL not render
il necessary TO try your client (Green)
Mr. Cook.-"I think not. The other side
said il was good jury
Mr. Wells here filed his motion TO
set aside the verdict and for q new trial in
the Green case, based on the ground that the
said pretended trial was not q trial in fact OF
law, because there Were on the jury
but eleven jurors possessing the
qualifics lions required by law. And
because Isaac Childs. one of the persons who
composed the said pretended jury, had. before
the time when he was sworn as a jury in said
cause, been convicted OF a felony by court
of competent jurisdiction, and that the judg-
ment in said cause has never been ARRESTED
