INDICTMENTS AGAINST BECKWITH

A motion was made yesterday by ex-Judge Fuller
ton before Judge COwing in the Court of General
Sessions to dismiss nine indictments for embezzle
ment against Charles Il. Beckwith, who has already
served term of Imprisonment for embezzling
money from b Z. Babbitt, the soap manufacturer.
A Judgment has been obtained in civil suit for
$500 900, which it is charged was stolen by Beck
District Attorney Oney opposed the motion, argu-
ing that the prisoner had standing in court, as
was read to show that Beckwith had gone to
Mexico 1t was also argued that under the old
CODE which was the law at the time of Beckwiths
indictment, the motion could not be entertained,
and that q nolle-prOseque could not be entered
without the consent of the District-At orney.
Judge COwing seemed inclined to favor the latter
view, but no formal opinion delivered.

the cab top at the time of the accident, and by
Jumping in the snow saved himself. When he last
glanced at Prince he saw HIM with his hand on
the lever and his teeth set together. The other
men on the train were unhurt. The road was
Obliged TO run its two Long Branch trains to Eliza
bethport over the Jersey Central road. There was
a train below the wreck, by which passengers were
brought up and transferred, so that the delay was

engine is brought to the shops. Princes body was
brought up TO Elizabeth. He was young man of
good family, who followed his employment because
he liked it. He married three years ago and

Chief Of Battalion Reilly, who was directed to
investigate published statements regarding
the fire in the City Insane Asylum on Wards Island,
made q report to the Fire Commissioners yesterday
He stated that the fire engine which had been
placed on the Island in the care of the Commits
siOners of Charities and Correction was not in
working order at the time of the fire. Some UNI
skilled employees at the City Insane Asylum had
been making experiments with the engine on the
previous day and had broken the hydrant connec-
ton The other engine on the island in the custody
of the Commissioners Of Emigration, was used
effectively at the fire. The signal box at the City
Insane Asylum was not used to send the first alarm.
but the alarm was sent from the box at the State
Insane Asylum, half mile distant, thus causing
serious delay. Chief Reilly thinks that the Fire
island properly until provision is made for taking
engines from the city with greater speed. He re-
comnends that the engine now in the care of the

FIREMEN AND THE SCALING LADDERS.

The Fire Commissioners yesterday resolved that
hereafter member of the uniformed force below
the grade of Chief of Battalion, shall be promoted
unless at the time of filing his application for pro-
motion he also files with the secretary certificate
to the effect that he has passed through
both classes of the school of Instruction. The
effect of this action will be to prevent the promo
tion of firemen, from foremen down, who have not
become proficient in the useOf lfe-savng apparatus
Probably no more eflectivemeasure could have been
taken by the Commissioners to compel men of all
grades TO risk their bones ON the scaling ladders
