supper was enjoyed by about four hundred people. The introductory of the exhibition was delivered by Miss Salie Bennett. Many and varied were the recitals during the evening. We were carried from the grave and sublime to the happy and joyous ideal, all of which were very interesting. The valedictory was delivered by Miss Emma Parker. Messrs. Oscar Rocket and Thomas Crane, Sr., furnished music on their violins, while the accompaniment was played on the organ by Miss Alice Thomas, and we must say was very fine. There were between eight hundred and one thousand peo- pie present at the exhibition. It is q scene that we shall hold as a yer dant spot in our memory.

It Is Not True!!!

It is not true, that Germeteur is being returned to us, but the empty jugs arc being returned, as we pay l5 cents a piece for them, and refill them to go out again on their healing mission. The number of empty jugs brought back only proves that Germ eteur is doing lively business. It is here to stay and is bound to grow, for all who take it bring in good report of it; in fact are delighted with it, and recommend it to their friends and neighbors.

A Suit for $4,000 Damages.

A Newburgh special to the New York Sun
says: The up trains this morning brought
crowds from West Point and Highland Falls
to hear the case of Anton Swinge against Hos
pital Steward Albert Mueller, which was begun
this afternoon before Judge Dykman. The
suit is for $4,000 damages for loss of services
of Eva Swinge. the pretty seventeen-year-old
daughter of Anton Swinge, whom the army
officer is alleged to have betrayed under
promise of marriage. The girls testimony
was not shaken, and her mother and
father corroborated her. When Muel-
fer, the defendant, took the witness stand Eva
was but few feet from him. Before he had
fairly begun his testimony the girl was led out
by her mother, and on reaching the door
swooned and went into fits. For some minutes
her shrieks could be heard in the court room.
The trial, however, went on, and Mueller with
out apparent emotion continued his testimony.
which was afterward badly shaken by Judge
Hirschburg. the plaintiffs lawyer. The girl
was attended by a West Point physician and
taken in a carriage to the United States hotel,
where she will remain tonight in charge of
her mother. The defendant AYERS that he is
the victim of a conspiracy

and made good defense, but there was no one
present to corroborate his testimony.
Judge Miller said that there was no earthly

A POLICE COURT SENSATION.
Judge Miller Sharply Rebukes Lawyer.

This morning. in the Police Court. Judge
Miller caused a sensation by calling TO account
Lawyer J. Parker Jordan. whom he accused of
improper practices in dealing with persons
about the court The judge said he had just
been informed that Jordan had collected fee
of fifty cents from a colored woman who APP
peared here to procure a warrant The woman
had right to swear ont the warrant.
Lawyer Jordan, interrupting the court. said
that he had returned the money: that the woman
asked him about getting a warrant from a mag
lstrate, and he took the money to get the war
rant from a magistrate if one Was refused in
court
Judge Miller then wanted TO know if he did
not return the money only two minutes ago in
the presence of the court. and after he knew
that the court had been told of the facts!
THE LAWYER ADMITTED
that he had just given her the money, but de-
MED that he knew the court had been told any
thing about the case
You're an old man. Mr.. Jordan" said the
judge. "and its your age alone that prevents
me from taking some action in this case. "
But haven't done anything wrong inter-
rupted lawyer Jordan.
Yes you have" said the Judge '.and ] don't
propose to have this court turned into den of
robbery"
"A 0iu wrong, SAID Lawyer JOruan.
really did not intend to do So.
Judge Miller, continuing, said: Il can't
purge the atmosphere of the bar, but l GER
tainly
WILL PROTECT THE POOR PEOPLE
who come here on business. What goes on
outside of court have nothing TO do with, but
say here now that no person who comes to
this court is to be intercepted and spoken TO by
lawyers or Others concerning their buslno s..
tell you now.' continued the Judge. that
II you ever intercept another person and adj
dress them, seeking business, I'll see that Won
shall never again enter this court SO long as l
! am judge"
IN obey the rules" said Lawyer Jordan.
WILL RID THE COURT OF INFAMOUS PRACTICES.
Il propose to rid the court of these infamous
practices, if possible"
Il haven't been guilty of any such prac-
tees" said the lawyer
Yes, you have, said the Judge emphaticallv
And L tell you again that it is your age
that prevents the court from taking further
action. You are an example for the mercy
of Heaven"
Judge Miller also referred to the case in
which Lawyer Jordan accepted a fee of 80
cents some days ago, and the latter made
another denial.

TURNING THE TABLES.
Mr.. Oppenheimer Has His Wife Arrest
ed-She is Released and He Is Held.

Last Saturday Mrs. Jennie Oppenheimer, a
good looking Young woman. appeared in the
Police Court before Judge Miller and charged
her husband, Sampson Oppenheimer. with
making threats of violence towards her. Judge
Miller heard the testimony IN the case and re-
CURED the defendant to give his personal
bonds to keep the peace. When the young
woman left the court she expressed herself as
being dissatisfied with the action of the court
and said that she was afraid that her husband
would kill her. Her husband was not satisfied.
either for yesterday he appeared before Justice
Strlder and swOre out warrant charging his
wife with committing perjury in swearing ont
the warrant IN the previous case. The warrant
on the wife served by Policeman Hinkel
and the young wife was given a seat in a room
at the first precinct station and was not placed
IN cell. Her maiden name was Jennie Sands.
She told the story of her troubles since she
married Oppenhelmer. They have lived in a
number OF cities and this was not the first time,
she said, that she obliged to seek protec-
ton in the courts.
IN THE POLICE COURT
this morning Prosecuting Attorney Armes called
Judge Miller's attention to the warrant charg-
ing the young woman with perjury. In telling
the court that there was no foundation fol-
swearing out the warrant, he said that Mr.
Oppenheimer did not swear out tn warrant for
the purposes contemplated by law and thought
his action was most outrageous contempt OF
court. for which he thought Oppenheimer
should be punished.
Judge Smell, for Mrs. Oppenheimer, called
the courts attention to his clients side of the
case which had not been attacked by the prose
cutting officer. The young woman he said has
been employed in store on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. for the last two years. She was

know that there is person living who should
be guilty of such conduct. L don't know
whether he is in court or not but Hope he is. -
Judge Smell then moved that the action of the
court accepting his personal bonds be set aside
and that he be required to give good real estate
security to keep the peace toward his wife.
Judge Miller recited the facts in the previous
case and granted Judge SHELLS motion Samp-
son Oppenheimer was made prisoner and was
required to give $500 real estate security or go
to Jail.

Der of people who were attracted there
by curiosity. At least that is what the auc-
uoneer discovered when he called for bids No
one seemed to be disposed to make any offer
for the property, and so there was no sale. IL
Is probable that the trustees will offer the
property at private sale. The island contains
some 81 acres. and is now used by the Column
bla athletic club for outdoor sports. In the
early years of the city it was known as the
home of Gen. Mason. who had a fine house
there surrounded with well-kept grounds.
