thing.
The case of DIR. Henry against John
Wray of Central avenue to recover $50 for
professional services came up before JUS
tice McGrath yesterday. Wray did not
have a lawyer aud conducted his own
case with dire results. He had no de-
fence to the suit except that he thought
no money was due DR.. Henry because OF
the results of his treatment.
Wray said that in April, 1887. his ten
months'-Cld baby became i'll, aud he sent
for DIR. Henry. The doctor arrived, and
after looking at the baby, and
stroking his own luxuriant whiskers
he said "broucbitis," and gave Wray II
prescription. The next day when he
called he evidently discovered
that his whiskers had de-
ceived him, for he diagnosed
the fitness as pneumonia The third day,
said Wray, Ii was another disease and on
the fourth day the baby died but not
before the doctor had accused it Of having
the measles The certificate of death
alleged measles as the cause.
When Wray got the doctor on
the stand he made poor work
of the examination, and was much both
cred by some of the doctors answers,
notably that which alleged that he had
treated the measles "expeetantly."
Judge McGrath gave decision for "a
in favor OF DIR. Henry.

Chief and the City Clerk met outside the
City Hall. Mrs. MeDermott aud Mrs.
Donovan were visiting the wife Of Police

theatre near by. II was a very noisy and
demonstrHtive crowd. and In it were two
young men who had been drinking freely
and who were just aching to be trouble

and yell. and ran right between City
Clerk McDermott and his wife. Chief
Donovan turned around to see what the
commotion was, wnen he was rudely
pushed away from his wife, and an in
sulting remark was made by one of the
young loafers.
Mr.. McDermott was wild with rage, and
wanted to thrash the impudent scoundrels

blow worthy Of Sullivan he knocked his
assailanJ clean of his feet.

decidedly warm reception. The doughty
City Clerk hit out right aad left and soon
had his adversary on the run.
Chief Donovan started for the station
house with his assailant. On the way
the fellow got ugly. and the chief was
obliged TO tap him on the head with the
butt end of a revolver. AT the police
station he gave his name as George
Anderson, and gave several different ad-
dresses.

of his eyes were closed, and he had

He Held Mrs schmidhauser the Cause
of HIS Domestic Woes
William Trott, Of No. 216 Mercer street,
was recently arraigned In the First police
court as a disorderly person. Poormaster
Hewitt testified that he found Trott's
wife sick in the hospital unknown to her
husband while the latter was living with
a woman named Wilson, who told MIN
that she was Trott's wife.
Trott proved that his wife had left him,
and he did not know where she was. lie
WIS a hard-working man, and had
several children who needed the care OF n
mother. He had installed q Miss Wilson
in his house as housekeeper. The VIII
son woman corroborated Trott's story,
and said that she 50 embarrassed when
the Poormaster called upon her that she
did not know what to tell him. aud In her
embarrassment told the Poormaster she
was Trott's wife.
Itappears that when the lawful Mrs.
Trott left the hospital she sought hsr
place at the head OF Mr.. Trotts family.
She died few days ago. and was buried
yesterday.
Trott was again arraigned in the First
police court this morning charged by Mrs.
Pauline Schmidhauser with threatening
to kill her
Mrs. Schmfdhauser, in broken German,
tried TO explain to the Court that the
trouble between her and Mr.. Trott arose
from accusations on the part OF Mr.. Trott
that She was the main cause OF the dis
agreements between him and his wife
that had for years marred the domestic
harmony OF the Trott family. She ac-
cused Mr.. Trott OF throwing rope
around her neck, and threatening to hang
her. Her excitement was SO great and
her command of English so small that
her story told in court was hardly intel
ligible.
Mr.. Doyle, fellow tenant, was called
upon to corroborate her story. Mr.. Doyle
is an elderly gentleman, with chin
fringed with whiskers OF strawberry
hue. He wears one of the old fashioned
stocks well up about his neck. Mr.. DOYLE
had prepared his statement beforehand,
and entered into the minutest details re-
garding Mr.. Trott's threats to hang Mrs.
Schmidhauser. His testimony sifted by
Police Justice O'Donnell revealed above
the facts that there were threats in Mr..
Trott's countenance and on his tongue. y
Trott was warned by the Justice to
keep away from Mrs. Schmidhauser, and
was then discharged from custody.

CAMDEN. May %, 1s9l.-There is consid-
erable talk here and elsewhere in this
county at the failure of the Grand Jury
to find bills of indictment against any of
the violators of the law at Gloucester
City, either in connection with the race
track or the general desecration of the
Sabbath day. This feeling is not alto
gether against the Grand Jury. but the
Law and Order League come in for their
share of the blame IN the matter, as well
as the prosecuting officials. Only a few
witnesses were summoned, and these
witnesses were not the stripe for Grand
Jury TO get much out of, for they did not
hesitate to say they would not answer
questions that would have tendency TO
criminate themselves, and in this course
10 one blames them. The Grand Jury, in
fact, knew more about the race track and
the general violations of the law before
they examined the witnesses than they
did afterwards, ana consequently they
ad journed without making any present
ment, when they were Immediately dis
charged with the thanks OF the Court" /"
