TO BE MADE TEST CASE

NEW YORK, March 12.-Judge Glider
sleeve made an address to the grand jury
in the court of general sessions, part /,
this morning in regard to the cases of
champerty alleged to have been practiced
by many prominent lawyers of this city
in connection with recent suits for damages
brought against the Manhattan Elevated
Railroad company. He said in substance
that although ne did not approve of the
methods which had been already employ
ed in bringing this matter before the
grand jury, sill, now that it was before
that body, it was their duty to 90 to
the bottom of it and, ii necessary, to find
an indictment against some member of the
bar. SO that the lawyers of this city could
find out exactly where they stood He
believed, in other words, in making test
case of it.
Judge Gildersleeve said that ne believed
that there had been no wilful intent to
violate the law. If the grand jury should
find an Indictment, the lawyer indicted
should be permitted TO go upon his own
recognizance His offense would be mere
" technical one, if offense there was
under the law.
He said also that it would seem from
the large number of subpoenas, and from
the indiscriminate way in which they had
been distributed, anu lIOn the TACT tlat
no complaint had been made by any party
to the alleged improper agreements be-
tween the lawyers and their clients. but
from the fact that those notices to wiz
nesses were sent out by the officers of
the Elevated Railroad company, that
an attempt had been made TO use the
criminal court for the company's own
purpose Annoyed by large litigation and
many lawsuits, the Elevated railroad off,
GERS had thought TO show possible Illegal
agreement between attorney aud client in
order to brighten away litigants.
The appearance, said the judge, ''of
an act of that character on the part of the
Elevated railroad officers should not lie al
lowed TO come to the surface without re-
buke from this court
He begged the members of the grand
jury to move slowly and with great care in
these cases.
He said that the district attorney had
"iudiscreetly issued the subpoenaes for
witnesses to appear before the grand jury
last Thursday
Until this matter is decided be said
finally, mo member of the New York bar
viii know where he stands. 1t must be
decided by the higher courts"

T. w. Dawson, editor of the News and
Courier and agent of the Associated Press
in this city, was murdered this afternoon
about $3.50 o'clock by T. B. Mellow. a phys
ician of this city. It seems that Mellow,
who is married man and father of fam
lily, had been too familiar with Swiss
maid in Captain Dawson's family and that
Captain Dawson had visited Mellow in
his office to demonstrate with him. Words
and blows followed and the encounter
ended in Mellow shooting Captain Daw-
son through the heart. The murderer
then locked up his office and went out.
Three hours later he surrendered himself
to the police authorities and the body of

The report shows that in the construc-
ton of new lines S37 ,362, 6S7 have been eX-
pended, of which amount S6,00O,O0O was
advanced by the directors. This is ex-
planned by the statement that when con-
struction was entered upon there was
ready market for railroad securities, Mis-
souri, Pacific selling about par, with the
reasonable expectation that the market
would improve. The decline in the stock
necessitated the advance by the directors,
which the stockholders are notified they
can repay at leisure with interest not to
exceed per cent per annum.

the directors the election occurred. The

without settlement of the monetary con-
sloeratlons by counsel, or even without their

marriage OF Miss Huntington to Prince

were left in the dark.
Miss Caldwell has declared that the
princes title is not his only claim upon her

loved him the first time she saw him. She
nad met during previous visits to Paris
princes whom she could have married if
sne wanted to; but sic fancIed none of
them. From her youth she had fashioned
an Ideal lover. He was to be a person of
the highest distinction, commanding the
highest social position; but, wlthal, there
must De those personal qualities which in
splre love even among the humble Prince
Murat realized her ideal. She met him and
she loved MIN, and loves him still. If the

may expect to hear, not IN the distant
future, of the union Of Prince Murat aud
