Now York,s CITY Troon.

New York is going to have City Troop
modelled upon that Of Philadelphia. The or
ganization is the result of a split in the troop
Of city cavalrymen known as the New York
Huzzars. One faction of the Huzzars wanted
to join the National Guard and be recognized
as part of the First Brigade, under General
Fitzgerald. They were willing to sacrifice
their gorgeous uniforms If the State demanded
it. The other faction wanted more gold lace
and lots of officers, and did not care about
joining the National Guard. 1t is this latter
faction which has formed the City Troop of
New York. They propose to have uniforms
which will be very expensive and very hand
some. Most of the members of the new or
ganization are rich men, and 1t is probable
that the new troop will succeed. The new
City Troop will have fine club house.

THAT TROUBLESOME BAY.wINDOw.


Argument Begun in the Case Against
Mrs. Cole.
The argument of the case of the United
States against Mrs. Annie Cole began
yesterday afternoon before Justice NIer-
rick. The Government, represented by
Mr.. Randolph Coyle, claims bay-wn-
dow which Mrs. Cole is having built over
the reservation at Massachusetts avenue
and NJ street northwest is an cncroach-
ment on the rights of the United States,
in whom the ownership of the streets
lies.
General Birney appears for Mrs. Cole
and contends that she had a perfect
right To put up the bay-window, under
building regulations approved by Presi-
dent George Washington. and still IN
force. although restricted in some in
stances and extended i'll others. Mr..
A. G. Riddle was present to maintain the
position of the District in having issued
the permit. Mr.. Birney denied that the
bay-window was designed to be used as a
separate dwelling, or that ii stood in the
light of public nuisance; on the con
trary, 1t was an architectural ornament
70 the city
Mr. Coyle took distinct and well de-
fined position in the case, and when
asked by the Court whether he consd-
cred the owners of the thousand and
more bay-windows built on reservations
were liable TO action for eiectmcnt by the
Government, replied that they were. 1t
would be impossible, however. for the
Government TO bring ali these suits.
The ground on which the bay-window
Is built should properly be called park
ing and not q reservation. When the
paving of these streets was provided for
by the Board of Public Works it was de.
cidcd to narrow this roadway, and for
this purpose the sidewalks on each side
Of the street were moved toward the cen
tire Of the street.
The space left vacant next to the build
ing line constitutes the parking upon
which the disputed structure is III course
y of erection. The Government claims that
This is a portion of the original street OF
which the title is in the Government S
possession, and that the United States
may, at any time, if it should so choose,
widen the roadway and occupy the park
ing with sidewalks.
Mrs. Cole naturally feels indignant over
the action that has been taken and con.
siders it fragrant invasion of her rights
She states that thesteps taken by the Gov
eminent was the result of an agitation Of
the matter by her neighbors, who desire
TO have the space left vacant for the
sake of the advantage to their own prop

WILLIAM PERSONS DEATH.
James jackson Convicted of Assault with
Intent to Kill.


Intent to XIII.
James jackson, colored man, was
placed on trial in the Criminal Court
yesterday and found guilty to-day Of
the charge of assault to kill.
On August 20, 1887, according TO the
testimony offered by the Government,
William Pierson and two companions
had gone down to the depot to see the
Washington Light Infantry. AS they
were returning, Pierson complained that
some one was stepping on his heel and
some words followed between him and
Jackson
1t is charged that Jackson afterward
followed Pierson and finally plunged n
knife into his left breast penetrating the
lung. The blade of the knife was about
six inches long and was left imbeddcd in
the flesh. 1t was so firmly imbedded
that instruments had to be used to eX-
tract it. The handle of the knife was
found near Jackson's door. Nobody
/ saw the cutting done. Pierson died some
4 thirteen months after the cutting, it is
supposed as result of the wound. Had
he died within year and day, the
charge against him would have been
murder.
