This morning a glimpse into Sqnire Wildy's little court revealed a soene of activity. A trial of somewhat more tbae nana! interest was in progress,

Waiter Cook, a 10 year-old boy, and a pupil of MisS Voorhees' room, was the next witness. He said that the Reese boy abased Miss Voorhees, and used profane language. Miss Voorhees did not understand hiui, and asked bim

he had said, and

he replied, "now you know. Albert Davis, a pupil of Miss Puray's, saw the plaintiff going home crying and limbing fro mi the effects of his chastisement Mrs. Marr Iteese, mother of the boy, was then called to*the stand. She said that when Walter came home he was crying and limping- and said that he was sick. He rejnsed to either eat or drink and threw himself on the bed and laid there. Whilft'lyingon the bed he was white a» a sheet. The witness bad stripped and examined him and had found fifteen ugly welts on his back and legs And offer*! to let the court examine him and see this morning. yJacob Reese, the boy's father was the ftext witness and his testimony was substantially the same as tt^t of Mrs. Reese. A great deal of trouble was had with him because of his unusual willingness to turn bis whole vocabulary loosa, but be was finally gotten off of the stand. William Reese, the 15 year old brother of the boy had seen the welts as had h,^ young lady

.Sho testifleel that the boy had been in her room for about a month and had repeatedly given her trouble. She said further that the boy refused to obey her whon he she told bim to sit in position. She had placd his hands in position twica en 1 lie displace! them again and she then slapped him. He muttered something and she bad him remain after school. She had secured MisaPurdy's rul*r to scare him with but had no intention of using it when she first got it. The hoy became impudent and she undertook to whip him but was not wholl} successful as he made vigorous resistance. Miss Purdy then look him out in the hall and thrashed him until he was willing to go back into his room and submit to a whipping from Miss Voorhees She stated that only the flat side of the ruler was used and the edge did not strike him at all as was testified by the prosecution. •,

Miss Purdy testified to the above facts and said that fihe was careful not to strike with the edge of the paddle. She further said that she only Btruck him about a dozen times instead of 100 times as was claimed by the boy. Both Mis? Voorhees and Miss Purdy were very shrewd witnesses, and the prosecuting attorneys were wholly unable to make them contradict themselves. Dr. Waters told how long a time was required for the flesh to become black and blue from a blpw. After his testimony was taken both Rides submitted the case to the court. After a moment's delibem»ion Squire Wildy said: "From the evidence I think that the boywaaciuelly punished, and I assess a line of $S and costs on the defeudaot." This punishment falls upon Miss Tardy. The verdict caused a flurry of excitement in the court room, and Attorney Foley called for an syppeal bond and the case was appealed to

A secret meeting compoB»i of prominent merchants, physicians and others, was he I last night, to take action in regard to backing. Superintendent of Police Davis in contesting the constitutionality of the metropolitan police law. Strong speeches were made by many io condemnation of the bill, and the universal feeling was that Superintendent Davis should go into the supreme court with sufficient financial backing to cariy the contest to a successful termination. One gentleman in answer to a question this morning stated that he had several bills he would give to aid in knocking out the infamous law. Tbe meeting is reported to have been a success und already enough money had been subscribed to start the ball to, rolling.

Garrison, a prominent physician, shot and almost instantly killed Dr. George Bainl, another prominent physician. There has been bad blood between the men for over three yeara and about four months ago they had a violent encounter. Both men weraof large site and undoubted courage and a f&tu! encounter was expected when the men met. This morning Bainl met Garrison on Eleventh street and inade*n abusive remark. Tho latter immediately drew his revolver and shot Baird twice. Tbe bullets struck Baird in the head and he staggered ba into a store and died without a word. Both men were active in politics, being members of opposing factions in the democratic party Garrison two years ago beat Baird'g son for city health officer and a short time ago was* defeated, for re-election by Baud's influence.- Baird was one of»he. first mayor's of this city.

ROCHESTER, N. Y., March 7.—Lena Cunningham, aged 34, threw a quantity of vitiol into the face of barrister, Matilda, aged 27, while the letter lay sleeping in bed. The sisters had quarrelled because Matilda had refused to «ecure a position for Lena in tlie Briggs seed house, where the former worked, on the ground'that Lena #ae not strong enough. I^ena was arrostotl later. Matilda's forehead, cheeks and nose are .terriblv' burned, and her eyebrows and lashes are entirely gone. As she was asleep, it is thought that she may not lose her eyesight in spite of her serious injuries. 'Thevitrol burned a large hole in the pillow.
