COFFIN'S CONCLUSIONS.

An Official Resume of the Story of Sewing Machine Singer's "Wives and Concubines. ISAAC M.8INGER'3 WIVES. ISABELLA EUOENIK BINDER DECLARED THE TRUE WID1"W MRS. F08TKR's RELATIONS WITH TDK MILLIONAIRE VIEWED MORALLY AND LEO ALLY.. The conclusions of Surrogate Coffin in the case of Mrs. Foster against the estate of the la'e Isaac M. Singer, telegraphed in brief to tbe SentlDel, are thus stated in tbe New York Son's report: Tbe will of the man of many millions and many wives was admitted to probate on Saturday last, by Surrogate CutB n, ilter tne delivery ol tbe following Interesting history of the litigation: In the matter of proving the last will and testament of Iasac M. Singer, deceased, the petition ior a elf a ion with a view to proving tte will of tbe d 'ceased, represented among other tLiDgo, that tbe deceased Jett surviving hia widow, 1 sab lie Eugenia Singer. Oa the return dy of tbe citation, Mary Ann Foster, who was not name! in the petition aa one ot tbe parties to whom the citation should be directed, appeared iu pers mi, and by II. M. Van P-lt, Eq , her proctor and course!, and claiming to Le ti e lawful widow" of the deceased, asked lave t' intervene in the proceedings nnd thus have afforded to her the opportunity to epitope, sl'vld she bee fit, thn admi-sion of tli alleged will to probate. Dvid Uawley, Esq., tbe s irriving executor i aned in the propounde 1 insirument, by his proctor and counsel, J. C. Carter, E q ; and siid Isibf lie Eugenia Singer, by John K. Porter, Esq , her proctor and counsel, and the gaurdian ad litem ol the alleged minor next ot kin and heirs at law, denied that said Mrs. Foster was the widow ot tbe deceased, or that sbe was entitled to intervene in the proceedings. The issue thus framed, lying at the threshold of the matter, It was determined to try before proceeding to prove tbe will. Tbe facts iu regard tbere'o, as d 82'osed by the testimony, are substantially follows: Is-aic M. Singer, who was a native of tbe town ot Scuaghticoke, Kens-alaor county, in this state, wa married in December, 1830, at Palmyra, in Wayne county, in tnla state, to Catherine M. ilaley, whose parmts formerly resided at Collaberg, now known a Crotou Landing, Westchester connty. This was A CEREMONIAL MARRIAGE, the ceremony having been performed in public, by and before a iutiee of the peace, and was followed by a cohabitation and a recognition of them as husband and wife by family, friends and acquaintances. At that time Mr. Sirger appears to have been a wood turner, or mechanic of some sort. The truit of this marriage was a child born at Port Gibson, near Palmyra, in 1S34, and another one born in tb city of New York in or about tbe y ar 1S37. In tbe spring of 1836 Mr. Singer, then attached to a company of stroIliDg players at Baltimore, Md., made the acquaintance or Miss Mary A. Sponsler, then about nineteen years of age, whow father was engaged in the oyster trade. lie was attracted by her, a d representing himself to be a single man, proponed marriage to her. ills overtures were ace d ted, and he aiterwards returned to the city of New York, where she, in September of that year, in pursuance of a previous arrngemnt. Joined him, with a view of being unite 1 with him in wedlock. On her arrival she was informed bv him of the fa -tot his having a wife, or "a woman who claimed to be bis wile," and that having ground therefor, asoon as he could get tbe time and means he would procure a divorce from her.ar d then would rnke her (Mi9 Sponsler) bis wile. tie solic e 1 her in ihe mean time to yield to bis wisuts and form an illicit connec tion with bim, to which she consented The connection thus lornied in the year 1836 contiLued with occasional interruptions of little moment until July or Augost, 1SG0. In tbe early part of i his period they traveled about the country, acting upon tbe stage to tether, under tbe name of Merritt. Sub sequently he took an interest in inventions until at length be became tbe Inventor ot some valuaoie Improvements In a sewing machine, which became emtodiel in what is known as tbe "SiLger sewing michioe," and by which HE ACHIEVED HI3 COLOSSAL FORTUNE, variously estimated at from f 13,000,000 to ?15,000,000. During all this period, Irom 1836 to 1860, Mr. Singer and Miss Sponsler lived together, with brief intervals, as husband and wife. She went by the name. whether Älerrif, binger, or otherwise, wa Introduced to others as bis wile, aud tim to lave been treated and regarded by their acquaintances a his wife. DuriDg tbe same peiiod sbe had by bim ten children, eight of whom are still living. The latter portion of this time was spent in the city ot New York, at various places of res'Jenee, until they finally loeaud thomselvoi in Fifih aenue. Without g"irg into the tacts in detail it may Le sufficient to say that tbera is abun dant pro "f irom which a marriage c uld be interred, down to January 23, 1860, had there been no impediment existing to repel tbe Inference. The difficulty wus that be bad another wile. But on the last nam-nl day decree waa obtained, in tbe proper tribunal, by Mr. Sinter, granting bim a divorce, a vlLCullo from his wite, formerly Miss llaleyand permitting h m to marry again. Down to this point ot time it is very plain that Miss Sponger tow Mrs. Foster) was not tbe wile of Mr. Singer, and tbe only question to be determined is, - did she, thereafter, become bis wife? Alter January 23, lc60, they continued to live toge ther umllJulyor August following, wnn a disruption of their relation!, wba'ever It may then have been, c curred, and they cets d to live or coh-tbit together from that time to tbe decease ot Mr. Einser in 1875. When thU d'vorce was obtained, tbe parties were living in the Fifth avenue, and they continued so to live tor about hix months, and until tbe t-eparatiou referred to. Bö lore thU decree was gran ed, as bas already been observed, they were known as Mr. and Mrs. Singer, he introduced her as his wife, and they lived together, apparently, in that condition and under tl ose circumstances whieh u-ually characterize the reUtion of husband and wite. From that time forward they lived together In the &ume way, under the same condition, and surrounded by the same clrcu ustances, and cue other, in any material point, so far as 1 am vle to discover. The tact tLat the old relation rema'ned un changed is admitted by Mr a. Foster in wla. is known as Ihs "MrKn complaint," duly e.-ltied by heron th lötb day of Novem ber, leo, in which cue allege that aa soon as Mr. S.nger obtaired tbe divorce, he DECLINED TO HAVE THK MARRIAGE CERE MONY PKtiF.JKMfcU between them, f;r reasons which are not very material. In December, 1S61, Mrs, Fofeter, claiming to be Mrs. Singer, com menced an ac'ion to procure a divorce irom Mr. Singer, alleging that thy were married in September, 183, aud charging, among other things, that Singer 1 ai committed several acts or adultery with various per sons between the years cf 1852 and I860, and praying for a divorce a vincullo. The material allegation as to the marriage was undoubtedly without foundation. In tbe view I take the law applicable to tbe facta already recited 1 do not deem it necessary "to refer to tbe proceedings in that action

further than to state tlOt negotiations were set on loot which resuUJ in a settlement, and that no Judgment or tk scree therein wa ever entered. Whether on ol tbe parties

overreached the other or do a making tbe settlement it seems to me h3 wholly im material. The evidence then .shows that sborly after the settlement, and oo the 12th day of Jone, 1862, at tbe ity of Boston, Mas., John E. Faster and Mary A. Sponsler appeared before the proper authorities, and representing tha, be was 25 years of ae aud the 31, both ot Boston, and that it was his and her first marriage, were duly and legally married according to tbe laws of that commonwealth, ft was In all respects a ceremonial marriage. Then Isaac M. singer, he deceased, wa, on the 13 h day of Jun, 1863, by like ceremony, married, at tbe city of New York, to Isabelle Eugenia Snmervllle, the person naned in tbe alleged will as bis wile, and stated in the petition to be bis widow, a id tbemo'.her of six children by bim, who are all parties to this proceeding. Here is no very difficult question ol law to determine. The case derives its chief interest, not, unfortunately, from any novel phase ot society which it discloses, but from tbe large fortune of the deceased, and from the fact that tbe meretricious intercourse between the deceased and the claimant continued in so open and public a manner for abr.ut a quar ter or a ceutury, during which time THEY RE IRED A LARGE FAMILY OF CHILDREN. Prior to the early part of the thirteenth century cereooonial marriages were un known. By the ancient common law of England, a marriage to be valid bal to be celebrated In facie eccleslas. Afier the reformation, however, the ecclesiastical rite was dispensed with as no longer absolutely essential, but the important element was a marriage contract between tbe parties. Lord Mansfir-ld in a speech which he made in Parliament, on introducing the marriage act in 1754 said: "I believe it will be allowed, it a man and woman seriously and siocerely enter into a marriage contract without tbe interposition of a clergyman or any religious ceremony whatever, it will be a go d marriage, both by the law ot God, and the law ot nature." Tbe canon law bad to do chiefly with the holiness of the relation, and the ecclesias'ical law had, in one grtat branch of tbe Christian Church, elevated it into tbe dignity of a sacrament, and it so still remains. But under our system of government and jurisprudence, 4 church and state are distinct, each governing and acting according to bis own polity, the state bein paramount. Oar common law, on this subjnct, is tbe same which prevailed in England subsequent to the reformation and prior to the enactment in the latter, of tbe marriage act reterred to. Our eourts have mainly followed the enlightened decisions of the English courts, running as they do in one almost uniform current, tbe strong flow of which is unimpeded by occasional vagaries. Tbe chief requisite to a valid marriaxe.as thus establisbed.is the interchange between the par ies, of a mutual, present consent to take e-ch other as husband and wile. This is, in islf, sufficient: Fenton agt. Reid.4 J. R , 51; Clayton agt, Vardell,4, N. Y., 230; and the f-ict of such consent or contract, may be ioferreJ, in tbe absence of direct evidence, from a proven state of facts warranting tbe presumption, where NO IMPEDIMENT TO MARRIAGE EXISTS. Our books are full of decisions to that eff-ct, but it will be sufficient to refer to Clayton agt. Wardell, supra, and to O'Gara agt. Eisenlohr, 38 N. Y., 206. It has als j been held that where a cohabitation is proved to have been illicit in its origin, It must be presumed to continue so until a change in its character ehall have been established by satisfactory evidence. Clayton set. Wardell, Cart die agt. Fdrrie, 23 N. Y., 106. Bt-bides, it is tbe very essence of marriage that it shall continue until death. Applying these plain and well established legal propositions to the tacts before us, it is quite apparent that Mrs. Foster must fail iu her pret-ent application to be recognized as the widow of the decedent. Her relations with him were meretricious in ' their inception, with a full knowledge on her part tl at, they were sucb. lie Lai a living wie, which was a complete impediment to their marriage, either ceremonial or inferential, down to tbe year I860. Indeed, it i not iucisted by her learned counsel that any marriage could be established in any way prior to tbe decree of divorce obtained by bun from his wite, but it is insisted that alter that period, tbe impediment bavin been removed, we must infer a marriage from the fact ot their having lived together, cohabited together, as husband and wit-, fjr the 8 pace of six months; bat to suci an inference Here are some obs acles. First, there was t o change from the illicit relations already estiblihed, the rem val ot the impediment not of itself operating such chaige; t-econd, a charge of the relations w-s absolutely refused to bo mide by bim; tnir.4, alter such refusal sbe still continued, tor six months, to live with him as she had done Deiore; fourtn, THEY CEASED TO LIVE TOGETHER FOREVER after the separation in August, 1860. Thee reasons are of themselves sufficient to dispel any gathering appearance of a marriage between the parties. If anything further were needed to convince us that tbey did not consider themselves as husband and wife, it is lound in tbe fact that they subse quently, under the circum-tances disclosed by tbe testimony, severally, and without tbe formality of a decree of divorce first ob tained, formed ceremonial marriage relations wi b other p-irties. Tbe reflex effect of the hostile and other proceedings ol tbe pariie, wnich follow tbe separation in 1860, aside from tbe aimisslonu made lo the various documents put in evidence, and tbe facts already reterred to, Is not of such a character as to materially efiect the result. I therefore reach the conclusion that Mrs. Pouter, the applicant in these proceedings. is not the widow of Mr. Singer, but that Mr. Iiabelle Eugenia Singer, named in tbe will propounded, a lady wnoae character Is uo way impugned by or involved in the lua'ter, and which we are bound to consider a above reproach, is tbe widow of the deceased, and her children bis legitimate off spring. 'Ihe application of Mrs. Foster is denied. UWEN l. Coffin, Jan. 10, 1876. Surrogate IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE READING OF THK DECISION Mr. Van Pelt arose sod sai4 that, with all due deference to tbe opinion ot the surrogate, he felt that his case still had merits. Therefore be asked for two days' time to re view the decision on appeal. Mr. Porter opposed tbe granting of time, as the de cision had proved that Mrs. Foster had no status la the court. Mr. Van Pelt finally wit! drew on the surrogate telling him that be had right to reprova trie will at any time within the year following tb probating of the will, if, on appeal, it was decided tliat Mrs. FoMer bad a status In the court. The will waa then admitted to probate, and letters te&timeatary were granted. Recommendation ot the grand jury at Jacksonville, Fla.: "We find that there are three prisoners in the Jail who have been there nearly two years for the pilitul sum ottlO uoata eacn. These prisoners have cost the county about f 900- Wa reoom mend tiat the county comoüSAloners pay the fine, release the prisoner and thereby save money for the county,"

SHOT IN THE SCUFFLE, FIFTY CONVICTS REBEL AGAINST SHOVELING ASHES AGAINST THK WIND AND BTAMttVZ

ONE OF THEM SHOT. Ths New York Herald of Tuesday says: At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon 110 con victs were employed near Lighthouse Point, at tbe north end of Blackwell's Is land, in filling In the waste spots with abes. Some of the convicts seemed very much dissatisfied with the work they were engaged in. Discontent became rife, and tbe murmurs of the men soon became Quite audible to the deputy warden and tbe keepers in charge of the gang. Atlastone ot the men cried out: "This is a hell of a biz on euch a day as this shoveling ashes In a gale of wind." Immediately af ter another man cried out: "Let us kick agtnst it." Fifty of the gang ot men refused to work, and were picked out by the. keepers and sent toward tbe prison which is three-quarters of a mile distant In cbaree of two keepers. Among tbe convicts was a desperate character named Henry Smith. lie wis sentenced on December 14 to one years' imprisonment for assault and ba'tery. This Smith teati ed to be the ringleader in the erneute; but it was evident that plans hid not be-n clearly made or tbe men might have boen eore successful in the attempt to escape. When tbe fifty men bad marched toward tbe penitentiary for a distance of halt a mile from Lighthouse Point SIX CF THEM BROKE AWAY FROM THE KEEPKR3 and made a desperate attempt to escape, although there were no boats or other means of conveyance from tbe island to the mainani at tbe time. Warden Fox and Com missioner Brennan were engage I outside of tbe warden's house talking about repairs at the time of the break among the onvict. From where tbey were engaged in conversation they could see what was happening among tbe convicts. The warden and the commissioner ran up to tead the six escaping convicts off, while Keeper Foy ran after tbe ringleader, Henry Smith, who, followed by tbe other five, was making for tbe almshouse, in the direction of tbe river, to get away. Foy shouted to Smith to stop, but tbe latter would not heed bim. Very soon Foy caught and engaged in a deadly clinch with Smith, the latter making a denperate attempt to take a revolver from bim. In the struggle tbey rolled over and over on the ground. By this time Commissioner Brennan and Warden Fox had arrived at tbe scene, the former crying out to Keeper Foy, "Don't shoot, don't shoot, we have them." lithe excitement of the struggle, however, Keeper Foy shot Smith in the right side, the ball passing up and into tbe left shoulder. It could not have touched his lungs, as there was no internal hemorrhage up to 10 o'clock last night. It is also reported that more than ONE SHOT WAS FIRED FROM FOY's KEVOLVER and that the keeper shot himself in the fingers of his left band. Strange to say, the other five convicts did not attempt to assist Smith in his struggle with the keeper, and were rather stupefied with tbe result of the conflict. The prisoners, having been brought together, were taken to tbe prison, and two were placed In ball and chain laH night. Tbe other three will have these ornaments affixed to their limbs this tnornirg. fhy will then be sent back with these troublesome appendages to do the work whicb tbey refused to do yesterday. Smith was assisted to prison alter he rose from t'ie ground, and tbe warden said to bim, "I gueos you are not hurt very bad." He anBwered, "Well, I think I am hurt pretty bad." He was taken to bis cll, where tbe viBitiDg surgeon and bis assistants stat that they could do more for him than in the hospital. Dr. Kitchen after ward conversed with Smith, and said to him, "Don't you want to get well?" to which Smith made reply, "1 don't care whether I get well or not. It doesn't make much difference to myself or any one else it I cbould die now." It is believed that Smith will recover. The ball wa extracted. ihe Lames ol the six couvictH who at tempted to escape and their c-ff inces and sentences are as fallows: Henry Smith, sentenced December 14ib, for assault and battery: James O'Neill, October I2th, for trceny; Charles EJwrds, August lit n. one year lor assault ana battery; Joseph McCormack, August mb, for larceny; UfO. Buttman, October loth, six months for larceny; Alex. Kennedy, November 1Kb, six months lor assault aud battery. CROSS'S CROOKEDNESS.' STAMP STEALING EXTRAORDINARY ANOTHER GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL COMES TO GRIEF. A petty steal bas been going on at the Evansville postofflce for some time, which, while it is just large enough to show bow contemptible a thief can become under a republican administration, also demons'.rites the fact that no possible opportunity to swindle can escape tbe avarice-sharpened eyes of tbe cormorants who have fed at the government crib for the rast fifteen years. The law requites that printed and other miscellaneous matter, when insufficiently stamped, shall be held one month to give tbe senderoppcrtuulty to call and pay the balance ot post age. At the end of that time tne stamp must be cancelled and tbe paper sold tor the benefit of the government. Ben. Cross, a former employe at the Evansville postofflce, feeling that this course resulted in a clear waste ot stamps, and having an eye to business and his own interest, instead of canceling tbe stamps, was in tbe habit of removing and selling them on private account. Mr. Cross was in all other respects so efficient that be recently received the appointment of postal clerk on tbe limited mail train from Columbus to Cincinnati, and, fearing less bis successor might not properly work tbe little bonanza which he was turning over to him, he explained bow it was all d me. The ungrate ful sacceesor immediately no inea me aepartment of the afiair and Special Agent Briozrmrst was instructed to follow the trail. Cross wts arrested at Cincinnati, taken be fore Commissioner Hooper, and sent here lor trial. The proper affidavit was filed here, tbe prisoner gave bond for his appear ance in tbe United States Circuit Court a; Evansvllle.ln April, and now rev6l in tbe comforts of bis own luxurious home if he Las one. Tbe penalty lor the offense is a fine ot not more than flOO or imprisonment for not nrore than six months. A reasonable estimate of tbe wealth Mr. Cross realized inthis venture would be six cents a week, wMcb, for four years, would amount to $12. 4H. He was formerly an assistant postmaster at Paducah. ior the last four years an attache of tne Evansville office, and more recently a postal clerk in a responsible position. He will probably retire to private life and spend the remainder )f LUdavgln tbe enjoy meet of what is lett ot that 912 60 aftta paying attorney's fee, costs aud a fine. DAVIS'S DEFICIT.
