4 HOBOKBN ACCIDENT.
Two Boys Crushed Be-
meath a Falling
Elevator.

A terrible accident occurred about four
O'Clock yesterday afternoon in Hoboken.
Two boys were struck on the head by
falling elevator. One was killed out
right and the other SO badly injured as to
necessitate his removal to st. Mary's Hos
pttal. The scene of the accident was the
new building of M. Schultz, which is in
course of kerection at No. 10 Hudson
place. An old fashioned elevator had
been used by the workmen in hoisting
building material to the upper floors.
For several days past the newsboys about
the ferry have been playing on the eleva-
tor. The builder says he cautioned the
boys several times, as he knew the elevH-
tor was unsafe. No heed was paid to the
warning and yesterday afternoon about
half dozen lads went into the building
and commenced to work the elevator.
Some of the boys got on the elevator
while Owen Dolan and William Murray
hoisted them to the floors above. The
elevator had reached the second floor
when the rope which held it snapped and
it fell with crash. The boys on the ele-
yator yelled to their companions below,
but nothing could save them. The ele-
vator fell with crushing force on the
boys heads.
The news of the accident spread rapidly
and crowd soon gathered. Means

elevator. The crowd lifted it and ter
rible scene met their gaze. The boy Muir
ray lay face down with his skull crushed
in. Life was extinct Dolan was moan
ing piteously. DR.. Simon was summoned
and Dolan was removed to st. Mary's
Hospital in coach. Murray's body was
taken to the Morgue.
A sad scene occurred about six o'clock
while the crowds were pouring up New
ark street on their way from the ferry.
Mrs. Murray, the mother of the dead boy,
was returning from New York. She is a
widow with six children. William was
her eldest son and was bright little lad,
who helped her by selling papers. Mrs
Murray had gone as far as Hudson and
Newark streets when a little fellow ca me
running up to her and told her
of her sons death. The mother,
unprepared for the shock. shrieked,
tottered and fell to the sidewalk. A
crowd quickly gathered, and when the
circumstances of the case were known
there were many In the crowd who wept.
The woman was nearly distracted, and
ran to the morgue like one mad, where
she threw herself on the corpse of her
son.
The Murray family lived at No. ia
Newark street. Dolan, the other victim
of the accident, lives at No. 81 Washing
ton street. 1t was thought that his skull
was fractured and that he could not live,
but this morning the sisters at the hos
pital say that he may recover.

HE DIDN'T SAVE THE RATS.
Agent Key Of the Humane Society Tries
to Stop u Public Execution Of Vermin.


There was q rat-killing exhibition given
in front OF VIM. R. Speare's undertake
ing establishment, on street near 10th, be-
fore O'Clock this morning, which was inter-
rupted by Agent Key Of the Humane society
MIR. speare has two fine rat terriers and
he also owns q rat trap that will ensnars
the destructive animals every time it is set for
them. In Mr.. Speare's cellar the rodents have
enjoyed such freedom that the goods in the
building were in danger Of destruction and
last night he set his trap and captured twenty
able-bodied rats, all with their gnawing appara-
tins in excellent condition. Mr.. Speare was
glad aud this morning the prisoners were
turned loose to be killed by the dogs.
There was large number Of persons wit
Messing the sport when Agent Key arrived and
wanted to stop the execution. Mr.. Speare
was at his window and he called Mr.. Key an
lass" This insulted the dignity Of the agent
and he gave notice that the matter would have
to be settled in court.
Mr.. speare was too big for the little agent to
arrest, but was present in the Police Court this
morning, according to notice. Agent Key pre-
ferred a charge Of "dsorderly conduct against
the undertaken. The prosecuting witness told
his story Of the rat killing and Judge Miller
'What is a cats business3'
'Killing rats"
sis that crueity2"
81 don't think it is as bad as a public exhibi-
ton such as occurred this morning. What
complain Of more particularly is the public e1-
hibitlon. II the animals were taken to a pri-
vate place and killed it would not be so bad"
"A rat terrier" said the judge, sis a natural
enemy Of the rat and can kill him in a scientific
manner"
Rats are not animals" said Mr.. Dumont,
"they come under the head of vermin."
Judge Miller said that rats we're a nuisance
whether they we're animals or vermin, and GER
tainly they had to be killed
Mr.. Speare's personal bonds were taken.

THE FEMALE SHOPLlFTERS.
Both Of Them Sentenced to Albany
. Penitentiary.

In the Criminal Court today Chief Justice
Bingham rendered his decision overruline the
motion Of new trial in the case of Kate Fri.
day and Sarah Lewess, the female shoplifters
convicted Of grand larceny from Stinemetz 4
Son, Harris d Shafer and Gait 4 Co. on DE.
cember II last
The chief Justice reversed the points made in
the motion, deciding that the testimony OBJ
jected to was properly admitted. He referred
to the statements made by the defendants in
Offering to leave the goods With the detectives
and depart from the city. and said that al.
though they made NO direct admissions their
statements threw light on their transactions.
The point that the jury was improperly sum-
moned-thst one juror summoned was no,
qualifed-was Overruled, the court remarking
that II that point held it would be almost i'm.
possible to secure jury. The next-point the
Joining OF more than one allegation OF larceny
in the one indictment--thec court answered by
stating that the district attorney had authority
TO SO draw his indictments by act Of Congress.
Messrs. @. Maurice Smith and Campbell Car
rington, for the defendants, noted an appeal.
Mr.. Lipscomb asked when they would be
ready to take up the remaining cases (the Viii
lett lett. q Raod and the appeal cases), saying he
Counsel said it would be impossible for
them to be ready then.
Mr.. Lipscomb moved for sentence.
Ihe defendants counsel called attention to
the point made as to the jury having their at
tention called to the failure Of defendants To
take the stand.
Mr.. Lipscomb disclaimed making such refer.
encs, and the chief justice said he did not IN
oerstand that such reference was made.
Mr.. Darlington said that there were in this
case many extenuating circumstances. The
stolen property had all been recovered and
the women have been confined in Jail some
time. The jury who had convicted them had
united in asking for the extension Of mercy
to heed it What punishment was melted out
should reform them and he believed that what
they had done and brought upon others, among
them the child in court. would be q lesson TO
them.
Kate Friday, on being called for sentence.
said she would appreciate any mercy the court
would give.
The court said, while advised that she had not
always been such as she was now, be could not
believe that this was the first offense. He
sentenced her to the peniteptiary onefor year in
each Of the two grand larceny counts and thirty
days In jail on the third count-the penitentiary
sentences commencing on the date Of arrival
and the Jail sentence at their expiration.
Sarah Lewess on being called said with tears:
II only wish, your honor, for mercy for the
sake of our families"
The court said that friends had called upon
him in her behalf, but from what be had heard
he could not look upon her case as on the other.
He believed that she was the leader. He i'm
posed q sentence Of two years in the peniten-
tiary ut Albany in each Of the two grand lar
ceny counts and sixty days in Jail for the petit
larceny.
