# WHAT IS HE DOING? TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:- Can the HERALD give us any information in regard to Mr. Uhl, the receiver of the German Uptown Savings Bank? Last fall he reported at the County Clerk's office that he had $53,000 on hand. When the bank closed the little real estate it had was sold at private sale; its mortgages were settled long ago, and I presume the other securities have been disposed of. Why, then, this long delay in declaring a dividend? Is some one drawing salary and interest at the expense of the depositors? A DEPOSITOR.

A DEFAULTER'S MISERABLE END. THE FATE OF ADOLPH LEVINGER - VERDICT AGAINST A SAVINGS BANK PRESIDENT. The suit of Herman Uhl, the receiver of the German Uptown Favings Bank, against Christian Schwartz, the president, was tried yesterday before Judge Barrett in Supreme Court, Circuit. The plaintiff alleges that Schwartz lent to the Empire Lanndry Company, of which also he was president, $9,000 of the bank's funds, giving as security his own post-dated checks. The laundry comp ay had held title to two lots in Fifty-fourth-st., and took second mortgages from the purchaser on a sale, one Isidor Falk, and these were substituted afterward for Mr. Schwartz's checks and proved worthless. The defence was that the loan was a genuine loan on securities approved by the investigating committee of the bank and afterward at a general meeting of the trustees, and that the defendant was not in any respect more responsible for-the loan than any other trustee. The jury, however, found against him a verdict for $10,950. One of the curious facts brought out in the trial was that Adolph Levinger, who seems to turn up in almost every case where a contest over a mortgage involving fraud occurs between Germans, was the counsel for the bank, the counsel for Christian Schwartz, the counsel for the laundry company, and the counsel for Isidor Falk. John E. Parsons. counsel for the receiver, stated in conversation that his client and the officers of the bank were satisfied that Levinger died miserably and alone of yellow fever at Havana. They had heard that a stranger at a hotel in Havana was taken sick, and in three days died without a friend or acquaintance to attend him. Theonly identification was a seal ring, with the letters "A. L," and letters from a man at Chicago. That man had stated that Levinger came to him in his flight, acknowledging the necessity of concealing himself, and he had written to him at New-Orleans and Havana the letters found on the dead man. This proof satistled the bank officers, and they suffered Levinger's sureties to be discharged without opposition.

# A LAWYER'S MISAPPROPRIATIONS. Mr. Herman Uhl, receiver of the German Uptown Savings Bank, brought suit againt Betty Milihauser to foreclose a mortgage on real property for $10,000. Through her attorneys (Messrs. Kurzman & Yeaman), Mrs. Millhauser set up the defence that she had paid $5,000 on account of the mortgage to the bank, and demanded that she be credited with that sum. This $5,000 was paid to Adolph Levinger, the attorney for the bank, who subsequently absconded, owing to the bank a large amount. Levinger has been since reported to have died of yellow fever in Havana, and it was insisted on the part of the bank on the trial of the cause in the supreme Court, that this $5,000 had been with other moneys appropriated to his own use by Levinger, without its ever having come into the possession of the bank, and that the receiver, therefore, was not bound to give Mrs. Milthauser credit for it. On this point the evidence on the part of Mrs. Millhauser was to the effect that the president had referred her to Levinger in relation to the payment; that subsequent to such payment, by a resolution of the bank officers, she was released to that extent on her mortgage, and that they thereafter accepted payment of interest on but $5,000 instead of $10,000. The decision of the Court was in favor of Mrs. Millhauser, and from that decision the receiver appealed to the General Term. The latter Court has now rendered its decision, sustaining that appealed from, in favor of Mrs. Milihauser, Judge Daniels writing the decision of the Court.

CIVIL NOTES. Officer Gillespie, of the Fulton Street Police, in Brooklyn, on Monday night arrested Dennis McCrossan, of No. 1,866 Warren-st., on a charge of assault and battery on Joseph Wolfing, of No. 1,065 St. Mark'save. On-the way to the station eCrossan turned suddenly upon the officer and kicked him severely. In return Gillespie plied his club upon the prisoner's head, cutting his scalp badly, and reducing him to submission. An order of Justice Potter in Supreme Court confirming the report of Herman Ubl, receiver of the German Uptown Savings Bank, was filed yesterday in the County Clerk's office. The receiver has already paid out to depositors dividends amounting to 60 per cout in three instalments. The Court directs the payment of the receiver's and counsels' fees, and out of the remaining $35,602 28 in the receiver's hands the payment of a dividend of 4 per cent. Michael McCarthy, who was shot by Officer Wade, of the Twenty-sighth Precinct, at the Schutzen Park, at the foot of East Sixty-third-st., on the Fourth of July, was able to leave the hospital yesterday. and was arraigned before Justice Kilbreth, in the Yorkville Poiice Court, to answer Officer Wade's charge of assault and battery. Witnesses on behalf of the officer testified to the ill-treatment the officer received at the hands of the prisoner and his friends. The counsel for McCarthy asked for an adjournment to enable him to produce witnesses for the defence. The case was set down for Saturday afternoon. An appeal was taken to the General Term of the Court of Common Pleas from a judgment obtained by John Fitzsimmons and Mary Fitzimmons his wife, as members of the firm of John Fitzsimmons & Co. against Prosper, Erhard & Co. This decision of the Court handed down yesterday, affirms that of the Court below in holding that although the plaintiffs were husband and wife there could be a legal partnership between them, and that the use of the term and Co." in the firm name was not a violation of the statute forbidding its use where an actual partner was not represented. The judgment is therefore affirmed. The decisions of the General Terms of the Supreme Court and of the Court of Common Pleas stand opposed on the question as to who possesses the power of appointing janitors of Civil District Courts. The former court has decided that the power lies with the Justices of the courts themselves. The General Term of the Common Pleas, in a decision written by Judge Beach. handed down yesterday, in the suit of William J. Kennedy against the city, hold that the Commissioner of Puolic Works alone can name the Janitors. The Controller will not make any payments until the matter has been finally decided by the Court of Appeals. Judge Larremore, in the Court of Common Pleas, Chambers, yesterday appointed A. S. Murray, jr., receiver of the effects of John Chadwick and Augustus A. Hayes, and also appointed Charles H. Adams referee, in a suit brought against the same persons by Henry M. Olmsted as assignee of Olyphant & Co. The affidavits presented alleged that in July, 1877, the defendants entered in an agreement with Olyphant & Co. by which the latter firm were to act as agents for the defendants in the importation of Spanish tiles. The agents were to have a commission of 5 per cent, and a half interest in the profits. They bring the present action for an accounting under the large transactions carried out under the agreement.
