ONE OF THE MARTELL FAMILY.
Thirteen-Year-OId Athlete Accuses His

Thirteen-Year-O1d Athlete Accuses His
Adopted Father.
Last night a bright-looking thirteen
year-old boy entered the Hoboken Police
Station and asked the sergeant in charge
for nights lodging. The lad was well
dressed and finely built for his age.
Il am known as Henry Martell," he
said, "and am member of the troupe
called the Mar.ell Family. I come here
because | have been ill-treated by my
adopted father, Harry Wallum, better
known as Henry Martell. A year and
four months ago | was an inmate of the
Children's Home in Columbus, D. One
day the Martell Family came to town.
was one of the best athletes in the
Home, and Martell heard of it and visited
the Home. He prevailed upon the super
intendent of the Home, A. S. White, to
have me travel on the road. We travelled
through the country, but my terms did
not suit Martell, and he began to abuse
me.
Four months ago, the season being
over, we came to Union HILL, which is the
home of the Martell family when they
are not travelling. We are supposed to
practice daily at our different feats. My
work did not suit Martell and he began
to abuse me worse than ever. He would
take rattan and strike me numerically.
Finally. when | could no longer bear the
treatment stole away from the house
and came here"
Recorder McDonough has dictated a
letter to A. s. Wilson, the Superinten.

IN BIGHTEHN MONTHS
The New Elevated Rail-
road Will Be In
Operation.

Civil Engineer Earle, of the firm of
Earle & Harrison, the engineers in charge
of the construction of the Elevated Rail-
road, granted me an interview this morn
ing.
What is being done, Mr.. Earle, in re-
gard to building the elevated roadY"
I'VE are pushing the work as fast as
possible. We began several days ago at
Jersey avenue to take soundings to ascer-
tain the depth the pilin9 must reach.
We have sounded half way to Washing
ton street and will continue as far as
necessary. When this is done we will be-
gin to sink piles at once We will put a
large force of men at work, and by the
end of sixty days the people will be able
to see some marked signs of progress
rs the road to be built by contract
work2p
.Oh, yes; it is given to one general con-
tractor, who subless, with the approval
of the company. different parts of the
work. The iron contract has not been
awarded yet, but will be very. soon.
Several ub-contracts have been made
however. 1t takes quite time to get in
condition to begin the work of construct
ing an iron elevated railroad two miles
and quarter long, but as soon as the
minor details are completed no one will
complain about the slowness OF the work,
for we will rush it"
When do you expect it will be com
pleIedg'
"The road ought to be finished and
ready to carry passengers within eighteen
months, and I believe it will be. We
will experience some delay because of
the distractions few people who will
force us to apply to the court for commits
sions to condemn their lands may throw
in our way, bus the delay will be trifiing,
and | do not anticipate any law suits
over the awaRdsth commissioners may
make. Everything looks bright for the
road and the people on the Hill who de-
sire rapid transit"
How will the road be equipped?"
Il am not now prepared to give details
in this respect, but you may say that the
cars will have every possible improve
ment that will afford the travelling pub
lie ease and comfort. The stations will
also be arranged for the convenience of
passengers. The terminus on the hill
will be on the west side of Westside ave-
nue., and this depot will be as comfort
able as it can he made.
I'VE have no fault to find We have
our franchise for the road. and we have
all the money we want to build it with,
and have men with pluck behind it to
spend the money for the purpose for
which they subscribed it.

self in the right temple last evening.
She was left alone in the house for a
short time, and going into the parlor she
sent bullet into her head from q
3s-calibre revolver. She will almost
certainly die.
Laura for six years kept company with
George Weimar, young man prominent
in temperance circles and Past Worthy
Patriarch of Lincoln Division, Sons of
Temperance. He finally discarded the
girl and married young German woman
of New Brunswick.
Miss Dixon felt his action very keenly
at the time, and has never seen her faith
less lover since until Tuesday night when
she met him at the celebration by the
Division of its twenty fourth anniversary.
She was in high spirits that evening. and
carried on quite a Irritation with some OF
the young men present.
Laura says that Weimar came over to
her and upbraided her tor her conduct.
and promised if she would make up with
him again he would procure divorce
from his wife and marry her. She says
she indignantly repelled his advances
and told him to go about his business.
The next day she was observed acting
strangely about the house and seemed to
have something serious on her
mind. During her mothers alb
sence last evening she seized her
fathers pistol and fired two shots, only
one of which took effect She was found
lying on the parlor floor, the revolver
tightly clutched in her hand, and the
blood oozing from the wound.
Two physicians were summoned, and
they probed for the bali, but were unable
to find it. Laura now lies in comatose
state, and the doctors say her death is
only question of few hours. Miss
Dixon is pretty brunette ofquite viva
ciOus disposition.

WHICH HORN WILL THEY CHoosE2
Mr.. b. Gummere Puts the Railroad Ar
bitrators In a Dilemma.


Special to the jersey City Nercs.
TRENTON, Jan. 16, 1S90.-The argument
in the Morris and Essex arbitration case
was continued in this city yesterday, and
is being concluded today. Barker Gum
mere is making the closing speech for the
State. The greater part of the afternoon
was spent in arguing as to the eonstr1c-
tion OF the term railroad with its appen-
dages,' as used ia section Is CT the ;.ct Of
1885. The same words are used in section
16, in which the State reserves the right
to take the railroad with its appendages
at cost at the expiration of fifty years.
Mr.. Gummere stated that the State
would adopt the construction placed
upon those words by the earbitrators
Counsel for the company construed it so
that the company would avoid the pay
ment of small tax; they claim that it
does not include equipment or the dis
count of bonds and stock. Mr.. Gummere
stated he was willing to accept this con-
struction. 1t saves small amount of tax
for the company, but would be gain to
the State to the amount of ten to twenty
million dollars in purchasing the prop
erty of the Morris and Essex Company.
The States counsel has refrained from
urging this view because they thought it
unjust for the State to take the road at
cost, without the equipment; but if coun-
sci for the company insisted upon that
being the true construction, and the arbi-
traitors SO held, the State would abide
bv it,

tinued. After considerable discussion it
was decided to lay the matter over until
next Tuesday night, when the propo-
sitions of the other bondSmen will be
heard.

to drink and she was given hot whiskey,
for which Mrs. Halloran paid Roman.
