There Is now maintained by the Asylum about
twenty-five aged and infirm persons of each sex-a

son, a constable in the town of Morrisania, was
placed on trial. having been indicted for the wilful
murder Of George Washington Phillips, a colored
man, whose untlmely taking or has already been
noticed In these columns.
The testimony for the prosecution showed that
on the 18th OF May the accused attempted to
Phillips on warrant charging him with assault
and battery that the latter after essaying to tenn
porize with the constable, started on brisk rum
followed by Robertson. who, having called on him
to stop, fired at him with revolver twice, the last
time striking him in the hip, from the effects OF
which wound he expired in few days afterwards.
The most damaging portion of the testimony
against the accused was that corroborated by two
women, setting forth that Robertson, after firing
the second shot, remarked, 81 have fixed the son
The defence admitted the shooting but claimed
that in the first place, their client only fired to in

that the constable, being clothed In the majesty OF
the law had perfect right to use his revolver, re-

proved that the accused, on hearing the deceased
was dangerously injured, used every effort to have
him rendered comfortable through the assistance OF
surgical aid, In addition to that which he was
already receiving from the Health Officer, DR.. Nell

AT the close OF the testimony counsel for the de-
fence addressed the jury in an earnest speech,
peroratng by asking them to acquit the accused
without leaving their seats. District Attorney
Briggs followed In a lucid and logical address, after
which Justice Barnard delivered one of his brief
but characteristic charges denying the right OF the
accused to shoot under the circumstances and in
forming the Jury as to the law in the premises.
The Jury took but q lew minutes to return into
court with verdict OF mansaughter in the fourth
degree, whereupon the prisoner was sentenced to
sixty days in the county jail and pay fine OF $3.50.
The latter was subscribed Immediately by the
friends of the accused,

The Public Cartmcn,s Union.

The Cartmen's Protective Union, which has been
recently organized, met last evening at Rose Hill
Hall, Second avenue David Magner presiding and
william Dunn secretary. There are about
5000 cartmen in the city, but so far the
and hfty names. The object Of the Union
Is to devise means whereby monopoly said to be
brought to q close. The men say that there are
some eight or ten men In the city daily defying the
law by running from ten to thirty carts under
as many ''public numbers" as they please, while
the law explicitly states that no citizen shall get
license for more than three numbers thus limiting
each man to the OF only three carts. 1t Is said
that by the alleged fraud the monopolists have
driven all the poorer cartmen entirely to the wall.
1t Is intended, therefore, by the men to organize
into society for the especial object Of representing
to the Mayor the true state OF affairs and the foul
play with which the licensing Of carts is conducted.
