Drunk on the Witness-s.and.

Sylvester Mooney, driver, was the
complaining witness In the Court OF Gene
raj Sessions yesterday against John III. Dyer,
whom he accused Of having stabbed him in
the back OF the head on October 10. Moo
ney took several drinks before the case WAS
called in order to quiet his nerves, but
when he went to the stand either the liquor
or the close atmosphere Of the room made
him dizzy and all the objects in the court
room seemed to swim before him. He sta
ted many times that the prisoner had cut
him, but gave no other evidence, and at
last Assistant District-Attorney Beecher
saw that he could not convict the prisoner
on account Of complainant's condition.
"Were you drunk when you were stab
bed asked Mr.. Beecher.
"Well, not what you would call decently
drunk" replied the witness, ghbly.
"Haven't you been drinking this morn
ingi" inquired Recorder Smyth.
"No, sir; not drop" the witness an
swered, in tones that plainly indicated that
he was under the influence OF liquor.

der. 81 am satisfied that you have been
drinking, and propose TO make an example

kept on reading his paper, and the stiff
st2rched passengers, who had all tocd the

the box, grew more snufiy and snifly. AT
last, after the driver had jingled the bell
until it was almost worn out, and fidgcted

looked at him for n minute, fingered his

on the platform, slamming the door after
him. "You see," volunteered the unsalty
one, turning to his neighbor, "Pve got the
dots in the law down fine. Out West, we
run these things different" and then re-
ceiving no approving symptoms from the
uncongenial element that constituted the
remainder Of the passenger freight, he
picked up his carpet-bag and stepped out,
whistling softly, "Oh, the Clang of the

A BROOKLYN MILLIONAIRE GETS MARRIED AND

Henry +. Journey, the senior member
OF the firm Of Journeay e. Burnham. OF
Brooklyn, was confirmed bachelor until
about month ago, when he married,
though his age is between sixty and seven
ty. He is a millionaire, and he has ALWAYS
been termed the A. T.. Stewart OF Brook
lyn, from his habits OF rigid economy
and from having built up an immense dry
goods business. His partner, Mr.. Burn
ham, lived in good style, and enjoyed life
without neglecting business. Ten or ff-
teen years ago Mr.. Journey had a serious
quarrel with Mr.. Burnham on this account.
and though their business relations con-
tinued, he never spoke to him. The senior
always gave his directions TO Junior part
ner, who in turn gave them to Mr. Burn
ham. This scene was enacted with great
seriousness day after day for years, until
the fact that the two partners OF the great
house Of Journey & Burnham were known
never TO speak TO each other was often
commented upon. Mr. Burnham, how
ever, never said anything TO indicate that
his feelings were not aS amiable toward his
partner as they seemed TO he TO the rest OF
the world. This long silence, at times so
awkward, was broken upon the return OF
Mr.. Journeay from his bridal tour. Mr..
Burnham was quick to seize the favorable
opportunity, and, grasping his partners
hand to congratulate him, received back
friendly pressure, which, with kindlier
look Of the eye, indicated that the past had
been forgiven, and that they could once
more be friends. Mr.. Journeay selected
his bride from among the young women
in the ladies' underwear department
Of his store. Her name was Miss Kate
S. Sephton, and although she had been IN
his employ only few years, she had un-
consciously TO herself been the object OF
Mr.. Jouneay's attention for much longer
period, as she was engaged in an establish
ment in Court street which he occasionally
visited. She was an orphan, modest and
gentle in demeanor, and simple in her
dress. The clerks in Mr.. Journeay's en-
ploy say that he is a changed man, and the
saleswomen have forgiven his bride her
good fortune, since she seems 20 have made
the millionaire happy. Mr.. Journey
comes to his store now late and leaves
early, and his amiability almost rivals that
