THRILLING WITH COURT.
The Chancellor Will Have No More
Nonsense in the Casey Case.

Mr.. Flavel MCGEE applied to Chancel-
!or McGill this morning for a confirma-
tion of the receivers sale of the
property Of the Casey Manufacture
ing and Supply Company. This is
the case in which sale was made by the
Receiver and the purchaser failed to con-
summate the sale, his conduct in
the matter being so reprehensible
that the Chancellor declared that If he
came within his jurisdiction he would i'm
prison him.
Mr. MCGEE read the report of the receiv-
er, Henry d. Leslie, in which it appeared
that the sale was held according to the or
Goodhew, who said he lived in Roches-
ter. but was stopping at the Grand Union
Hotel, New York, was the
highest bidder, and the property
was knocked down to him for
$4,000. Goodhew, however, was not pre-
pared to comply with the conditions of
sale and the receiver put the prop
erty up again. This time it was
sold to Thomas c. Patterson for $l1,70O
Patterson was able to comply with the
terms of sale and the receiver recon-
mended that the property be
given to him. The receiver said
that he questioned Goodhew as
do SO If he was given time. But the re-
ceiver thought it best to sell the property
over again.
Mr.. George Record said that General
Albeit had requested him to ap,
pear i, as,,hs the case, as the sa Genersi d
New YORK. Mir. Record asked for a
postponement and read an affidavit mad e
by Frederick w. Eadley in which Mr.
Eadley said that he attended the sale and
that that he n,a believed as n.da that t. Good ona
the Receiver putting the property up for
sale second time. Mr.. Record
by by Henry r NJ. Goodhew in which
that gentleman said that he attended the
sale and bid on the property in gool faith.
When the receiver knocked it down to
him he asked Goodhew if he was
prepared to pay the ten per cent. of the
purchase price required by the terms OF
the sale. Mr.. Goodhew ssid that he
could not, but that he would pay
SIS down and would give the receiver the
balance before O'Clock. If he
did nat he would forfeit the SIS.
He also demanded cash and said that he
would not take certified check. Goodhew
says he then asked the receiver to
give him an hour and half in which to
raise the money, but the Receiver said he
would only give him half an hour.
Goodhew also declared that he had the
necessary ten per cent. by five O'Clock of
the day of sale.
When Mr.. Record had finished reading
the afidavits the Chancellor asked
him who he represented. Mr..
Record replied that he did
not know: he had been requested by Gen.
eraI Albeit to read the affidavits for him
an d he supposed the Court knew who the
G eneral represented.
The Chancellor said that there had
been too much trifling with the Court
in this case, and If Mr.. Goodhew
would deposit $1,000 with the Court by
three o'clock, to show hat he was re-
sponsible man, be could hear him. The
case then went over to that time.

REV. CHARLES L. CLIST.
Scholarly Sermon Which Secured for Him
Warm Welcome.

Scholarly Sermon hich Secured for Him
Warm Welcome.
Rev. Charles l.. Clist was welcomed to
his new charge as Pastor OF the Free Re-
formed Church on Grand street last night
by an intelligent and critical congrega-
ton. The sermon delivered by him was
purely scriptural one. devoid entirely of
the sensational plunges of some clergy
man to capture the fancies of their hear
ers, and consisted of calm, dispassionate
argument, sucn only as ii logical. method
ical and well stored mind would attempt.
Mr.. Clist chose for his suhject:-"The
Seed of Abraham is the Kingdom of
God" He said:-"I have selected this
subject because it is the one most fitting
for my advent among you"
The clergyman then declared that when
God said to Abraham. 81 will make thy
that the seed should be the followers of
God, whether jew or Christian, who
placed their tattn in Him. 1.-THE seed of
Abraham is the Church OF God" said Mr..
Clist, "and we cannot enumerate the
number of seeds-the NUMBER of people
for God has said they shall be nun.b ber-
less" The speaker further on in his dis
Needless" those full of "Materialism
who see only Mammon'' aud
the ''wayside hearers" from among
church going people and denounced
their failings and weaknesses, and
concluded his argument with an earnest
plea for all to become of the "seed of
Abraham"
At the close OF the services the congre-
cation gathered about the handsome
new pastor. and with much feeling well
coined him to his change.
The formal installation of Mr.. Clst,
which was to have taken place tomorrow
evening, has been postponed. No date
has as yet been set for the ceremony.
