FIREMEN's CELEBRATION We
return our thanks to the invitation
committee for complimentary ticket
of invitation and card of admission
to the grand ball proposed to be
given by the fremen Of our city 10
honor of the forthcoming anniversary
of the immortal George Washington,
aptly and reverently styled "the
father Of his country" who was "frst
in war, first in peace and first in the
hearts of his countrymen," and
whose illustrious name, though tenn
porarily obscured by the feeting
shadows of past or present events,
shines forth again and must ever
penetrate by its pure and dazzling
glories, every cloud or circumstance
of gloom that may or can envelope
the nation which owes to him it's
birth and pristine independence and
greatness.
The programme for the fremen's
celebration Of the 22d, will be found
elsewhere inserted in our columns.
1t will be seen that previous to
the ball there will be a procession
through the streets and afterwards
an Grafton to be delivered by our
young friend and fellow-citizen, d.
M. Callahan, Esq. The selection of
Mr.. Callahan as orator Of the day, is
one of the very best that could have
been made and reflects credit upon
the good judgment and discrimina-
ton Of the committee appointed for
that purpose.

Wood should be accorded fair and impartial hear
ing on the allegations against him and the issues
raised. Therefore, as between Mr.. Wood, with whom
he was politically associated and the people ne de-
sired an impartial and equitable decision on the
merits OF the case. 1t was time that the ntlgatlon
should be disposed Of as 1t had been already SO olten
tried and decided by that great tribunal IN % ouf
midst which decides upon such cases'vtn Sucn sup-
lime ignorance Of the law and the iacts. nc ieai'

Mr. Shea, for the defendant Wood, then proceeded
to argue upon the validity OF the issues as SET out IN
the pleadngs and claimed that the genera issue was
the resolution passed or Its passage oDlaihed py
fraud? was very properly ana Justly reiuseu Dy tne
court in settling the issues. IL was IKE inoctng
and sending n man to trial before criminal court
for n crime not specified, and, when he was brought
up before the jury trying him upon any charge tnat
might then be made against him.
fhe court STATED that II did not desire to hear
him upon this question, only upon the applicability
of the order. .
MI Shea then proceeded to argue at great length
upon the question suggested by the court, claiming
that the order appealed from was an interlocutory
one and that all interlocutory orders remain S,;b
judice until the final decree. This was an inierlocu-
tory order for the that 1t did involve any
part OF the merits OF the action, nor did 1t affect
substantial right OF either party. 1t involved no
merits, because 1t was In this action a matter OF
equitable cOgnizance by the court. 1t referred to
matter within the discretion OF the court and was
merely question Of practice and therefore involved
right because a party could not be said to have
right to that which the court alone has the discretion
to grant or withhold. At the conclusion OF Mr..
Shea's argument the Corporation Counsel replied
briefly on the question Of the right OF appeal.
The court reserved its decision.

BEFORE Recorder Hackett.

The trial Of Edmund Franck. charged with obtain
ing goods by false pretences, was resumed yesterday.
Counsel for the defense examined Theodore and
Emile Frank brothers Of the accused), Aaron Block
brother in law and Mrs. BLOCK, all OF whom testified
TO different state OF acts from that sworn TO by the
witnesses for the prosecution From their testimony
u seemed that In December, 1906, there was from
$4,000 10 1900 worth Of goods In their Galveston
establishment, which were seized by Mr.. Rosenneld
lihe cenplanant) and other creditors and sold. al
though they were told that business was duh and
FRANK Brother expected that merchants at the
North would extend the time OF their notes. also that
the defendants were extensive manufacturers OF
soap, perfumery and disers Of whlskey since 1851.

Before Judges Garvin Mcneil and Jones.
Jacob Bretz Us. TIE Mayor, Gc-This was an ap-
peal taken from an order made at special term
giving judgment for plaintiff overruling demurrer
Of the defendants to PLAINTIFFS complaint. The
plaintiff claimed to recover damages for injuries
sustained by. him on the I'd Of December last by
reason OF the defendants negligenty leaving the
Eighth avenue openings In the streets and obstruc-
tons, without signals lights indicating danger,
whereby plaintiff in the night time was thrown
from his vehicle and received various bodily INJURIES
To this complaint the defendants demurred, assign
ing the only ground that the Superior Court had
no jurisdiction In the case, ana contended that all
actions against the corporation should be brought
in the supreme Court of the first Judicial district
In support OF this view counsel cited section OF
chapter $50, Laws 1867. The PLAINTIFFS counsel
local, and not being set out or referred to In the
pleadings the court could not regard it,
Judge Garvin, in rendering the decision OF the
court observed that If the Superior Court had no
jurisdiction the demurrer must be sustained so far
as this particular question had any influence upon its
action. But for any cause the act itself or the en-
actment was unconstitutional then the decision made
by the court at special term was right. The clause
provided that all actions against the Corporation
shall be brought in the Supreme Court, which should
have exclusive juris liction OF such actions. The
confer exclusive jurisdiction the Supreme Court
secondly, to absolutely take from every other court
in the State the judicial power to entertain any
action wherein the Corporation OF the city of New
York were defendants. II essentially public and
private in ITS objects. II had been held that
an act local in its provisions might con-
acter as contradstinguished from a private
local act nor could II be said that an enactment
referring TO one class OF criminal cases was public
act and another in regard to civil cases public
act when each act presented rule by which parties
and courts were to be governed. This court must
take judicial notice OF the act bringing II into exist
ence, defining its powers and ali the acts enlarging
restricting its jurisdiction. IL seems quite clear
that the clause OF the section under consideration
was public statute and being public statute there
could be no doubt about its constitutionality The
application OF those principles TO the under
sderaton was obvious, and the order below should,
therefore, be vacated and judgment ordered for the
defendants ON the demurrer.
