He Thinks Once Is Enough.

Ex-senator John W. Griggs, as counsel
for Mr.. George w. Mather, has filed the
plea in the suit brought by Mrs. Jennie
Mather for $1O,O 900 damages for seduction.
The litigants in the case are well known
about Passaic Bridge, and the case came
up before the Court of Quarter Sessions
at the December term. Mrs. Mather, who
is a sister-in-law of the defendant, claims
that he assaulted her and is the father of
the child born some time after her hus-
bands death. He was indicted, but a
jury returned a verdict of acquittal. Then
Mr.. q. M. Ward, in behalf of Mrs. Mather,
brought the suit for damages in the Cir
cult Court. Mr.. Griggs, in his plea.
pleads the general issue, that is, denying
all the allegations of the plaintiff. He
also i%nterposes q special plea claiming
that as the matter has been once disposed
of by the courts it cannot come up again.
He claims that MI. Mather was acquitted
of the charge by the courts, and that con-
quently he cannot be held responsible in
a civil action, the Indictment being a bar
to further legal proceedings.

A Nice Paterson Policeman.

Since Chief of Police Graul presented
charges to the Board of Aldermen at
their last meeting against Special
Officer WorsleY, the Broadway watch
man, that official has made himself scarce
around Paterson. The police have been
searching for him now for several weeks
to serve on him a before the
Police Committee TO undergo trial for
attempted burglary and conduct unbe-
coming an officer.
Worsley was acting S a night watch
man for a number of residents along
upper Broadway, and would have been
there yet were it not for Policeman Kilt,
who discovered that pistol shots fired by
burglars were fred from Worsley's re-
volyer. But Worsley has skipped. He is
a married man and has two or three
children, but this did not prevent him
from making love to one of the servants
in a prominent Broadway residents
home. Now report has it that the house
maid became SO enamored with the mid
night special that she has left position
and home to join her much married
Romeo in Plainfield, where it is supposed
he has gone. The news of the domestic's
~ihfatuation for the fellow with a specials
badge reached the ears of her brother and
now he, too, has gone in search of the
Pla1nf1eld detective 81 as to induce his
foolish sister to return home.

Hillman Sentenced to Death.

With sightless orbs the skull Of the
murdered pedler, Herman Seidman, and
with white, set face Joseph Hillman, ac-
cused of his murder, stared alike at the
jury yesterday in the Woodbury. Court
house when Judge Garrison read his
charge.
Hillman's nerve, however, did not de-
sert him hen and at the critical moment,
when the jury filed into the room with their
verdict, he still retained the composure
that has marked his conduct during the
trial. He displayed no emotion when the
foreman pronounced the verdict of guilty,
nor did his face move a muscle when
Judge Garrison sentenced him TO hang on
November 13.
1t was the biggest day in the Hillman
trial. People had evidently come from
far and near to see its conclusion. The
courtroom was packed, the biggest part
of the audience being women and young
and pretty girls; in fact, all the front
seats were pre-empted by them, and even
the chair next to that occupied by the
youthful prisoner had q woman sitting in
it. Hillman's mother, sister and wife
were there, the latter holding her little
infant in her arms. Hillman was per-
fectly composed.

Since the resignation of City Solicitor
Dayton, of Trenton, a strong public senUi-
ment has arisen among the men of affairs
of the city of both political parties in
favor of the appointment of George M.
Robson as the city's legal adviser.
His ability and experience are known
and recognized, and it is thought that it
would be a very desirable end, not for
Mr.. Robson, but for the city, if these
could be commanded in the interest of the
Commonwealth. With this sole aim in
view, and without apprising Mr.. Robson
of their intentions, a number of gentle
men interested themselves in having him
appointed by Common Council.
The caucus held by the Republican
Councilmen on Tuesday night, in which
twenty-five members participated, after a
controversy of over an hour took a bal
lot, which resulted in the nomination of
John Rellstab, by a vote offs to Ii.
The result was reached by a combine
ton of the members from the Ninth,
Tenth and Third wards with four others
from different parts of the city.
After this result was reached it was
found that under the ordinance of 1888
Mr.. Rellstab was not eligible, as he was
not a counsellor, and it was Immediately
agreed to repeal the ordinance, which
was placed upon the books for a wise
purpose.
A Republican city boss, who is not a
member of Common Council, is endeav-
oring to nave matters take a course differ
ent from either one indicated above. He
holds that it would displease General
Sewell to have General Robson ap-
pointed, and advocates the plan of hav-
ing City Solicitor Dayton withdraw his
RESIGNATION.

SAYS HE GOT ROBBED.
An Old man Who Went TO a Ba
Place.

An Old man Who Went TO a had
Place.
There was q pretty large crowd up
about Department 6 of the Superior
Court yesterday. The attraction was
the trial of one John Edwards before
Judge Shaw by twelve good men and
true. The charge against Edwards is
that he robbed an old man named DR..
William Swigart of gold watch and
chain, cane and some money. The old
man was put on the stand. He looks
like one who has seen good deal of life,
and that not on It's sweetest side. He
acknowledged on the stand that he had
been user of opium, but claimed he
had stopped. He swore than on the 9Th
OF August last he visited house on Ala
media etreet kept by gang Of yellow
girls. While there he claims that ne
lost his property, and alleges that Ed
wards and one Willie Jenkins we're the
purloiners thereof.
After the doctor had finished narrating
his experience at this den, John Parker
Smith was put on the stand. J. Parker
Smith WAS in the house at the time. He
had all the appearances of seeing as
much, or more, Of the world, and from
the same point of view as the doctor.
He told how the doctor came there,
called by name for one of the dueky
sireas, and about the blandishments
lavished on him by this black swan.
There was quite flock of these around
the court room. The case was on trial
up to late hour in the afternoon.

A Pleasant Occasion.

Last Thursday the Baroness Rogniat
gave garden party TO seventy of the
youngest children from the Catholic
Orphans Home. For this occasion the
little ones arrived at O'Clock, and were,
much to their delight, given free license
to run all over the hills and pick all the
flowers they desired. Mr.. A. w. Lohn,
the photographer, of East Los Angeles,
photographed the group of the children
sitting on the lawn under the palm trees.
Each child will receive a picture. The
ever gracious and most amiable Mrs. P.
Davis, assisted by Mrs F. J. Schallert,
sang sweet melodies to the little ones,
who listened with rapture to their lovely
voices. At four o'clock the children par
took OF delightful lunch prepared for
them Oh the spacious verandahs. For
this occasion Mr.. j. G. Robinson grac-
iously placed two of his cable cars at the
disposal of the Sisters. The children
presented a most beautiful bouquet to
Mrs. Robinson, and the youngest child
rem recited appropriate verses of thanks
to their host and hostess.

Santa Monica yesterday upon the body
of Mrs. Sarah A. Scott, the wife of a
clerk employed at Sawyer's bakery. who
died suddenly at her residence on Sun
day morning last.
Three witnesses were examined-John
W. Scott, her husband; Smith s. Scott,
her son, and DR.. E. 9. Folsom, who was
called in after her death. From their
testimony it was learned that about 10 80
O'Clock on Sunday morning Mrs. Scott,
who has been in ill-health for the past
ten or twelve years, complained of q
spasm of pain in the stomach. She told
her son to apply a mustard plaster to
the region of the pain, and as
she was going to retire to her
room, she asked him to tell his father
to remove it should she be asleep when
he returned home. She theu went into
her room, and leaned back upon the bed
without removing her clothing. Her
son also retired to his room to change his
attire, and as he returned half an hour
later he passed through bis mothers
room. Not being able TO hear her
breathing he raised the window shade,
and was Mortified to discover that she
presented the appearance of corpse.

worst fears were realized, and he notified

there was nothing to indicate that any

though her husband said that she was

tackled by similar spasms in the past. In
accordance with the testimony Of DR..
Folsom, who stated that in his opinion
death was the result of natural causes or
some drug taken to relieve suffering,
the jury returned verdict of death from
natural causes.
