The Case Of Little George Zcigier-Judg'
Humphrey idea Of Mothers Rights.

The Case Of Little George Zeigier-Judge
Humphrey Idea Of = Mothers Rights.
In the hdbeds corpus case Of George Zeigler,
aged eight years, issued on petition Of the
mother, Annie Zeigler, TO have him released
from the Reform School, hearing was had be-
fore Justice Humphreys yesterday. The boy
was committed to the institution last Decem-
Der on the affidavit Of tho mother that he was
incorrigible and entirely beyond her control.
Since that time she has evidently repentcd Of
the action and seeks his release. She, with q
number OF lady friends, was in court, and
most Of the time wept while the hearing was
In progress. Mr.. Howe, superintendent Of the
school, produced the boy together with papers,
and showed that the commitment was regular
in every respect. The minor is q bright faced
and black-eycd boy, aud has q very intelligent
look. Justice Humphreys thought the mother
might In fit Of passion, have had her child
sent to the school, and now repenting Of that
conduct, wished to rctake him home.
lie thought this sort Of confinement was
nothing more than slavery or involuntary
servitude, which the Constitution forbids and
were II necessary in the case, he should not
hesitate to pronounce tho act unconstitutional
but he did not deem II requisite to go that far,
for human nature demanded that the mother
should have the control Of her offspring, more
especially when she desired IL.
Mr.. Duvall stated that at the suggestion of
one OF the trustees he appeared in the case, Of
which, however, he had very little knowledge,
on account of the short time allowed TO exam.
ine it. He asked that there be postpone.
ment, in order to permit the Attorney General,
who was the law officer Of the school, to be
heard.
NJ. Norris, for the petitioner, objected to the
delay, and asserted that II was only right and
Justice that the mother should have iminedi-
ate possession Of her child.
The court said that he would permit the
hearing to go over, but should order the child
into the custody of the mother who would be
directed I" have him present when wanted
next He then questioned the mother rs to
her wishes In the mattep, aud she stated that
She, having been oyer.penuaiel by Mrs. Steele
put the child in the school, but now she de-
sired him with her, and was Ibuudantly able
to take care OF him.
The hearing was continued until Wednesday
next, and ia the meantime the mother will
have possession of the boy.

The New Haven National Contest To-Day
Games Elsewhere Yesterday.
Tho game which was TO have been played
yesterday afternoon between tho Eagle and
Waverly was postponed on account of the
grounds being unfit for use. The Baltim0rcans
were tslegraphed to by the manager of the
Eagle In time and did not take the train for
this city.
The contest between the New Haven and
National this afternoon Is the all-absurbing
topic among baseball admirers in this city.
The former have been playing an exceptionally
strong game during their tour southwark aud
rs our Reds" have baen steadily practising
for the approaching battle, All interesting en-.
counter will doubtless reward the spectators
this afternoon.
The time for commencing play has been
fixed at four o'clock sharp, and there will be
no necessary delay. lu the pool selling at Sea-
ton Hall last evening the New Haven were
fivorites, the odds being about $50 to 80.
The bidding was very lively aud large sum
was deposited In the pool box. One advantage
which the system Of selling pools at Scanlon's
has over all others is the fact that no per.
centage is charged buyers of tickets.
The following mines will compete for the
coveted trophy New liaven-Gormley, m;
