The trial Of Rev. John S. Glendening
for the seduction of Mary PomerOy IN
Jersey City IS dragging its slow length
along. Much unfayorable comment IS
being made upon the manner in which
the trial is being conducted. The coun-
sci for Glendening seems determined to
admit no evidence against him, or at
least just as little as possible. They
threw out the statement made by the
poor girl upon her death-bed. There has
been indeeorous wrangling and the BIT
terest kind Of personalities. The defence
IS making an effort now TO show that the
girl was Of bad character, and especially
untruthful The result Of the trial no
one can tell, but the people have already
made up their verdict. They believe the
statement of the girl, and in any event
Glendening Is gone 1t is. pitiful case

The Tribune, some two years ago, inves-
tigated the milk trade. and happened to
tread upon the toes Of milkman named
Ganong. Feeling aggrieved by the pub
Eeatics, Ganong sued for Slo, 900 dam
ages, and the trial took place few days
since. 1t was bad thing, that trial,
for the milkmen. It was shown in court
that all the milk sold IN the city was
adulterated fearfully-that to every two
gallons Of milk not less than one gallon
Of water was added This reducing the
milk with water is the least objections

the poor are served with an article that
can scarcely be called milk. There is a

which the poor of this great. miserably-

thing that New York, surrounded as it
