APPEALS FROM AWARDS.

The trial of the appeal suits brought by
H. T. L~illiendahl and Lucinda Lilliendahl
from the awards of the commissioners APP
pointed to condemn lands required for the
West Side Connecting Railroad, was begun
yesterday afternoon in the Circuit Court
before Judge Lippincott and a jury. The
land taken from H. I. L"illiendahl by the
railroad company comprised nearly eleven
city lots on Danforth avenue. The COM
mlssloners valued the lots at 81, OPS, and the
damage sustained by Mr.. Lilliendahl was
81, 1874, which made the total award 1912.
Lucinda L~illiendahIs property taken by
the company contained p, 542 square feet on
Danforth avenue. The commissioners valued
the land at $ $3.50, and estimated the dam
ages to be So, $40, and made an award OF
$500: The award in each case was ap-
pealed from.
The jury did not agree with the valuations
made by the Commissioners of Condemns
ton for, by the verdict rendered last night,
it reduced the award TO Henry T. Lilliendahl
to $475, and to Mrs. LilIiendahl to So. 740.

THOUGHT He WAS soALPED.
Cruel Joke Played ON Detective John
OsNeiII.

The laugh is on Detective John O'Neill of
the Seventh precinct station house. John
was asleep-so the story goes-not many
miles from the police station. His hat was
off and his bald pate was exposed to view.
1t caught the eye of a practical joker. who
thought it would be great fun to
play a trick ON the 'sold man. To
think was to act with him, SO he Immediately
set about the preparation of what he con-
sidered a huge joke. Selling a red ink bottle
and a piece of paper, he moved cautiously
toward the sleeping beauty" He dipped
the paper in the ink and with a most delicate
touch carefully stripped Johns Uranium.
so it came to pass that
when John awoke he absent
mindedly rubbed his pate while trying to
collect his thoughts. Johns hand became
smeared with the ink and on catching sight
of the red stuff he took it for blood. It is
not known whether he had Eeen dreaming of
Indians or not, but from the way he jumped
he evidently thought he had been scalped,
until he remembered that he is bald. The
laugh is on John, but he bears it like a man,
making the best of a bad joke.

THE JURORS LE0TURED.
A Verdict of Not Guilty Aroused
fudge Hudspeth.

Judge Hudspeth today, when the full
panel of jurors was in the court room, as
tonished them considerably by a lecture that
apparently was well deserved. Judge Hud-
speth said:-
'The Court desires to say to the jurors
that it deems it the duty of the Court to re-
vert to the verdict rendered in a criminal
case yesterday. The jury found a verdict of
acquittal, which was absolutely inexcusable
and unfounded upon the facts and tie evil
dence in the case. The Court does not want
to be construed as desiring to influence jurors
but the Court does want justice administered
impartially. The case the Court referred to
was thai of Thomas Gaffney, who, in broad
daylight on Newark avenue, assaulted a
woman. The evidence was conclusive, and
Gafney practically admitted the assault,
out notwithstanding that evidence the jury
acquitted Gaffney."
Judge Hudspeth then denounced compro-
missing verdicts and said the practice must be
stopped in this Court. He said the Court
had been informed that in some cases one or
two jurors, when they entered the jury room,
would say, "My mind is made up, and l will
sit here all night unless you come to me-"
Judge Hudspeth declared that jurors should
carefully examine evidence and that in Grim
inal cases compromise yerdicts would not be
tolerated.

he afterward expressed regret for this in his

LITTLE SYMPOsIUMS.
But the little symposiums we used to
have at Lord John Joline's Nassau Hotel
those were perhaps the most delightful mo-
ments of my life.
Lord John was not one to allow his
inn to be made the scene of a careusai, but
many a pleasant evening have l spent there
with Sam Bayard-a member of the famous
Delaware f~amily-Dick Field, afterward
Judge and Senator; George Crawford, one
of the Governors of Georgia, and Daniel
Halnes, who was the Chief Executive of New
Jersey. The Faculty strictly forbade these
little suppers, and so we had to steal away
one by one from the old college building at
ter we had attended evening prayers and
plously recited our devotions III Greek un-
der the guidance of the President.

speaker paused, bowling his head again upor
his hands in silence.

Arrested as a Tramp.
An old gray-haired man who was slightly
under the influence of liquor accosted a
policeman at about five o'clock last night,
and asked of him the way to the station
house. The officer pointed him to the
Fourth precinct station, but advised him
to stay away from there. Roundsman Abner
Welsh was behind the desk when the old
man staggered up to it and asked for a
nights lodging. The roundsman told him
he could do nothing for him, whereupon he
informed him to lock him up, even if he had
to make a charge against him. Abner re-
fused to do this, and ordered the old man
out. He did not go far, for, when a reporter,
who had witnessed the above, left the sta
tion house, he found him lying in a heap
upon the ground, in front of the next door.
He pulled him to his feet and advised him to
move on, as he would catch cold lying upon
the damp earth. He looked reproachfully
at him and said:-"Young fellow, | applied
for a nights lodging in that house-pointing
toward the green Highland they kicked
me out; for Gods sake, what I'M
[ to do? If you have any
mercy, make a charge against me it will
only take a minute, and will insure me a
place to sleep. l can't stay in the cold and
freeze. leu bneIn you saw lie drunk anu
disorderly." The reporter told him he could
not do that, and after standing him against
the fence left him. He sunk to the ground
again, and was found there by Captain Nc
Kaig when he entered the station half an
hour later. He sent Patrolman Scott out to
arrest him. When arraigned before Justice
Kimmerly this morning he described him
self as George Whitehead, a shoemaker,
sixty-three years old, belonging at Long
Branch. He was discharged.

POLICY DEALER MEEsE RUNS AWAY
Serious Accusations Against His
Uncle. Whom He TrOnnced.

ONShSS w M AEOuhAtCOs
Louis H. Meese, an ex-policy dealer, who
ran a restaurant on Newark street near
Garden street, Hoboken, is missing from
town today, and it is thought by some
that he intends remaining away for a
time. A warrant has been issued
for Meese on complaint of William Muller,
his uncle, who makes a charge of assault and
battery.
Yesterday morning Meese met Muller on
the street. He sprang at him and blackened
his eyes. Meese maintained that he had
justifiable grounds for trouncing his uncle.
When Meese was arrested a month ago on
a charge of dealing in policy he spent a few
days in the County Jail and then paid a fine
to be liberated. During his absence, Meese
AYERS, Muller practised certain famil-
iarities with Meese's wife and
accomplished wrong designs. So
infatuated did Meese become at his wife's
alleged infidelity, which he accused her of,
that, it is said, he locked her in a room for
two days. The wife, according to current
reports, was forced to remain in the room
alone, her meals being sent to her.
Both Mrs. Meese and her husband are
away today and cannot be found. 1t is
thought Meese left to escape arrest. The
warrant was issued by Recorder McDonough.
At three o'clock this afternoon Meese was
arrested on Washington street.

oALLED ON Con FOR HELP.
Trial Begun of the Men Who As.
saulted B~oatman Day.

III UaA
Robert Day, seventy-two years, who lives
at Port johnson, Bayonne, was today the
complaining witness in the Court of Sessions
against Martin Rudolph and John Clark.
The two men were charged with burglary
and attempt to kill. Day is the proprietor
of a junk shop and was reputed to be
wealthy and at the time of the offense was
committed it was supposed that Days safe
contained a large sum of money. The night
iii question was a very stormy one, and
while Day was engaged in preparing his
shop. which is on a canal boat, for the night,
| he found a man at the bow of the boat en-
| gagged in cutting a hole through the panel OF
| the door which led to the living apartments
of Mr.. Day.
The man surprised in this work. jumped at
Day and exclaimed you: take that and
struck him with a blackjack. The man
Rudolph was with this fellow and he, too,
| struck Day, and then four others came UP,
knocked him down, beat him frightfully and
| also entered the cabin and beat Days wife.
Day was bound and gagged, and his wife
| received the same treatment. Day was
| gagged with a piece of inch rope. All
of the six men wore masks made out
of cheap cloth by an amateur in the
business, and during the struggle, when Day
was knocked down, he recognized Rudolph
and Clark. The latter demanded of Day
tina he give him the combination of his
safe. aud threatened to blow his brains out
if Day refused. Day said, when testifying,
that Clark knocked out four of his teeth
with a revolver to enforce the demand for
i the combination of the safe. Day gave the
burglars the combination, but they were
unable to unlock the safe after getting it.
Day told them to spare the lives OF his wife
and himself and he would unlock the safe for
them.
At this point in his testimony Day ex-
| posed to the jury a bed sheet which had
been almost entirely saturated with blood
and said that the burglars had bound it
about his head after he was first knocked
down and gagged. The sheet looked as if a
pint of blood, at least, had been absorbed by
it. Day said the men carried him to the
safe and then removed the sheet and gag
and compelled him to unlock the
safe. When the door of it swung
open the burglars made a dive
for the contents and secured $500 in gold, a
gold watch, two pistols and two opera glasses.
The burglars then left Day bound and
gagged and fled from the boat.
Day testified that when he found himself
to be alone he called on God for help, and
prayed God to come TO his aid" and that he
was given power, through his prayers to re-
lease himself. He made his way to the
house of Mrs. Lunch near by
and there fell down unconscious. He
was carried into the house and the police
were notified. Days wife was released by
the police and Day was put to bed, where he
remained for a number of days under a
physicians care. When able to do so Day
went before the Grand Jury and indictments
were found against Rudolph and Clark and
the four unknown men who are vet at large.
Congressman John j. Dun today defended
the two men. The case will last all day.

MATTER BECOMING A FARCE.
Father Corrigan Entfmates DIR. Fabris
Carries a Revolver.

Father COrrigan Entimates DIR. FabriS
Carries a Revolver.
Inquiry at the rectory of the Church of
Our Lady Of Grace in Hoboken, this morn
ing revealed nothing as to whether Father
Fabris was back or not. A reporter asked
the Servant for Father Fabris. The girl
went upstairs and remained there and
Fabris did not appear.
1t was said that Father Fabris came back
last night and ate his evening meal in the
rectory. This could not he verified. Father
Corrigan refuses to utter a word relative to
the event which is reported to have tran
spired yesterday in the parochial residence.
He will not admit its truthfulness nor deny
it. When the subject was preached this
morning he became impatient and said;
81 will not say anything about it. I dc
not care to make public everything which
happened
Bishop Wigger was in Hoboken yesterday
He reached the town about half past one
o'clock. He took the 2:40 train from South
Orange via the D. L. & W. road.
From the station he walked to Newark
street and went up Newark street a distance.
There trace of him was lost. II
is supposed that Father Fabris had an ap-
pointnent with the Bishop in town, as
Bishop Wigger has no parochial visitations
to make or other tabulated business to trans
act in Hoboken at this time OF year. Where
the conference was held is not known, but
it is certain that the Bishop did not conduct
his business in the rectory of Father CORR
CANS Church.
This morning a JERSEY CITY News re
porter was informed that Father Fabris car
ried a revolver with him about the rectory.
Whether there is any significance in that
fact is a matter of conjecture. The inform
ant is intimate with the affairs at the ~rectory
and says his knowledge On the subject was
advanced by Father Corrigan, indirectly.
