THE INTERSTATE HEARING.
Tho Pawtucket Crossing Trouble Before
Chief Justice Matteson.


The hearing in the case of the New
York, New Haven g. Hartford Rail-
road Company vs.. the Interstate Street
Railway Co., on injunction proceedings,
was opened in the Supreme Court this
morning before Chief Justice Matteson.
Frank S. Arnold appeared for the petit
TONERS, and Walter III. Barney for the
respondents. The petition for prelim-
mary Injunction was first read and then
the bill.
The affidavit of John Coffey, section
allowed by the court on condition that
Mr.. Coffey should be put upon the stand,
and Mr.. Barney allowed to cross-examine
him.
The charter of the Interstate Company
was then presented to the court, with
particular reference to the wor,iing of the
clause providing that the work Of cross
ing the tracks of railroad company
should be done under the rules and regu-
lations of such company.
George NJ. Hobbs, agent OF the n. YIN.
II. d III. Company, stated that no one
from the Interstate Company had been
to him to confer with him regarding the
conditions they might require of party
wishing to cross their tracks.
He visited the location on Monday and
found the plates laid and a post erected
for the support of the trolley wire. within
the five rod limit allowed the railro al.
The wheels Of the railroad company had
worn off the butt of the bolts on the irons
OF the Interstate Company. He consid-
cred that said irons were too close TO the
rails of the railroad company.
The tracks of the Interstate Company
leading up to the crossing stopped sho rt
and the wheels dropped from the ends Of
the rails onto the rails OF the railroad
company and thence into n sort OF slot to
prevent their getting off the track by the
jolting.
He thought it would be an easy matter
for u carriage wheel to get caught in this
slot.
Charles Hatch, civil engineer, presented
n copy of "A plan of the crossing prepared
by him for the railroad people. He did
not think the construction a safe one.
Edwin Dawley, division engineer of the
n. Y, n. III. d III. X. r.. thought the
wearing on the bolts might loosen the
construction and cause the wheel of "a
railroad train to strike the loose portion,
when the result might be derailment.
Mr.. Barney here introduced letter
from f. l.. Freeman, railroad commits
sioner, TO MIR: Gardiner, Superintendent
OF the railroad. regarding the crossing.
This the counsel for the rail-
road Company did not think could he
considered rs a notification from the In
ter State Company, nothing being con-
tanned therein to show that the Inter-
State people knew anything about IL.
The. court here took a recess until 2
o'clock.

Official Paper.
Is, 1T TRUEe

Senator Mcpherson, of New Jersey
q gold bug of the most pronounced
type. told; Congressman -Geary of
California last Saturday that Nevada,
although crazy on the silver question,
would send a Cleveland delegation to
the Chicago convention "'7''
We think that the wish OF the Sen
ator is father to the thought, and
truly hope that the Democracy of
this State will not stullify itself by
sending a delegation to Chicago that
will support Grover Cleveland for the
pomi nation.
We do not know how the New
Jersey Senator got his information or
On what his opinion is based, but it
is evident that he must have some
thing not known to the rank and file
lcf the party.
Ii there is a conspiracy among the
leaders to send a delegation to Chi
cago to misrepresent the party, it
should be defeated at the primaries
and men sent to the State ,Conven-
tion whose business it will be to fight
any movement in that direction.
THIS cannot be done if the Democrats
throughout the State, who are OPP
posed to Cleveland's nomination., fol
low the example set by the Republi-
cans and refuse to vote at the
primaries.
The friends of the ex-President in
the Western part of the State will no
doubt capture the delegations from
their section to the Winnemucca
Convention and, unless those who
are opposed to his nomination
throughout the Eastern and Cen.
trial part, are vigilant and ae-
tive, the State Convention will
be controlled in his interest, and the
Democratic party of Nevada put On
record as being opposed to the free
coinage Of silver; for this will he the
construction put upon such a course
by our opponents.
If such is the scheme, we repeat
that. it cannot be defeated by Deno-
Gratis refusing to vote at the prima-
ries. =.

watched it's passage into the great

on the limp and nerveless neck. The
yellow skin formed into masses Of
wrinkles, and ,rustled like paper as
the wind blew over it. The heavy
lids quivsred and closed over the dull
and sightless eyes, and the checks
sank like those of the dead.
