his riding than his driving, and was classed
with such experts as Dan Mace, james Con,

horses declined, Murphy became noted for
driving both single and double teams.
He drove Rarus over a three-quarter OF

Many Famous Speeders.
John Murphy, the rider and trainer of trot-
ting horses, who died recently at Howe's
hotel, Ccney Island boulevard, after an i'll
ness of several weeks, was boIN In Ireland in
March, iSi4, but came to America when he
was six years of age He was highly es-
teemed by all who knew him, and leaves
widow and a number of children. Consump-
tion, resulting from a cold contracted while
visiting his brother-in-law, Hiram Howe, on
the Coney Island boulevard, caused his death.
When a little lad Murphy frequented the
old Bulls Head tavern premises, being at
tracted thther by his natural love for horses.
He so persistently followed up horses that
were always there that he attracted the no.
tice of horsemen. One of these, Simon
Brown, of Flushing, took the boy into his
employ. George Nelson, the brother-in law
of Hiram Woodruff, Dan Pffer and Hiram
Woodruff himself employed Murphy, The
last named took strong liking TO and taught
him how to ride trottipg horses, a business in
which the boy became expert

at has been said that all the veterans
of the late war, or nearly all, are on the
pension rolls. This is not true. For of
2,S00, 900 men who went into the war of
the rebellion, only 425, 900 pensioners are
now carried on the rolls. So you see
that there is but one pension for every
seven soldiers. The rolls show 10000
pensioners of the war with Mexico; Is, 900
of them survivors. There are more than
10000 pensioners Of the war of 1912,
about 700 of them being survivors. Not
single survivor remains of the Revo-
lutionary war, though 80 pensioners on
account of that war are still on the rolls,
all of them widows. This is rather
strange, considering that the last battle
of the Revolution was fought about los
wars ago, but some of the survivors of
that war were lusty old chaps, who mar
ried late in life and left young widows
to draw their pensions for them. Say a

that case would have been the other
way. Under the circumstances, it
seems To me that this case is an au
thority tor the plaintiffs conteu-
tien in the issue before this Court.
The Court may not make limita-
tons where the law has made none,
without infringing upon the pre-
rogative Of the legislature.
These cases quoted as above set
forth, in support of the defendants
position before this Court, do not
seem to me TO be in point, for the
reason given, that they are based
upon statutes totally disSimilar to
ours.
The plaintiffs counsel correctly
argues that Smith rS. HOckemdJm is
no precedent for the decision appeal
ed from; he might have gone further
and claimed that it was authority
for his own contention, for the law
of exemption under which that de-
ciSion was rendered, excepted from
its provisions all property of reli-
giouS societies except church sites
and perhaps burying grounds, while
il made no exception in the case of
schools, but exempted all real and
personal property :. belonging and
"relating" thereto. "When

were intended" (McDoHdid rs.
