winch resulted In the order Of Judge Purcell that
the adm nssrator give the additional security If
SSOO 10 cover the amount for which the applicant
is really liable, the security TO be given at tie
next conrt day.
Upon consideration Of a question arising out of
the administration Of the estate Of A MCINTYRE
deceased, the Court dec ided that the widow in
all cases must be cL-rgcd with her portion Of the
gross expenses. and then receive her dover from
the nett proceeds.
SHOULD BIZ SToPPKD.-It is certain that the
aggregate Of Losses 10 the United States forces from
Tue careless use OF firearms is greater by far than
from the enemy. Many Of these accidents occur
through the merest child's-plsy with dangerous
weapons Swapping caps upon pistols to Kill d les
oy The Wlndage seems % be a favorite sport
amongst tue volunteers, and one valusble life has
been lost and another endangered within a week
through this sort Of reprehensible amusement
The safe plan Is never to fool with a weapon
under the suppOstion that IL is unlOaded, and
certainly never TO hold IL in such position that
It's acc idental discharge may do mischief.
CRININAL COuRr.-Yesterday, NJ. D. Rowe
convicted OF stealing sl2 Us in money from MIR
Antoine kelpler, was sentenced TO fourteen months
In the penltentIary.
John shafer, charged with keeping faro bank,
was acquitted
