A LIGHT COURT.

Only Seven Criminal Cases Disposed
of by Judge Macdonald Yesterday.
There was very little doing in the city
court yesterday, and the few criminal
cases that were called for trial were dis
posed of before II o'clock.
Whatloe Screven got four months on
the gang for cheating and swindling. He
was employed at the Baltimore Steam
ship Company's wharf, and represented
to Mr.. j. A. H. Umbach that he had a
check, on which was due him a certain
amount This check was left with UNI
bach as security for some groceries, to the
amount of 35 cents which Screven pur-
chased, and also for back debt of 81 80.
which was still due. Screven tried to
show that he had no intention of cheat
ing, and that he had intended to work
and get some time on the check, although
there was nothing due on it when it was
put up as collateral. Screven's story
didn't go, however, and he was listed as
one addition to the canal diggers.
Johnny Anderson, alias Washington
Anderson, was found guilty of simple
larceny, and will serve years as a punish
ment for his Offense. His steal consisted
in taking just seventeen chickens and one
garden rake belonging to Hannah John
son.

a similar ofTense. He stole a gold watch
valued at $40 and IS in money from AL
fonzo Felia. Admitted his guilt on the
stand and went out to the gang without
a murmur.

the simple larceny of one coat from George
Wayman.

son, charged with the larceny of three
pantalOOn patterns from L. Stembach,
were found not guilty and acquitted.
Altogether there were fourteen cases on

CHICAGo's EXHIBITS.
Hamlin Knows Nothing Of the Alleged
Complaint of the Foreigners.


Washington, Nov. Assistant Secre-
tary Hamlin, who has just returned from
Chicago, stated to-day that he had seen q
dispatch from Chicago stating that the
foreign commissioners accuse the eXposi-
ton officials of being in league with the
United States customs officers for the pur-
pose of reJarding the removal of foreign
exhibits from the departmental buildings
and making other complaints.
Secretary Hamlin said he knew nothing
whatever of these alleged acts of the Gus
toms officials, and he would promptly in
vestigate any complaint of that kind that
might he made to the department While
in Chicago, he found the collector and mis-
subordinates disposed to do everything in
their power to meet the wishes of the
foreign exhibitors so far as the rules and
regulations would permit There certainly
appeared to be no desire on the part of
any official to hamper or delay exhibitors
in taking their goods.

January the act of congress passed at
the last session providing that the lights
of ferry boats, barges, and canal boats,
when in tow of steam vessels, shall be
regulated by such rules as the board of
supervising inspectors of steam vessels
shall prescribe, will be considered and
rules adopted. The president of the board,
Gen. James A. Dumont, has sent out cir

throughout the country inviting all per-
sons interested to communicate, in

general president of the board, at Wash
ington, submitting such suggestions, dia-
grams, etc, as may, in their opinion, seem
best to carry out the purposes of the law

for its consideration. AS it will be neces-
sary to print, for the convenience of the
board, the communications and sugges-
tions that may be received, it will be
necessary that such communications
should be in the hands of the supervising
inspector general not later than Jan /.
Communications received thereafter will

Reducing vibration In Railway Cars.

A new invention embodies a princi-
pie which will commend itself to all
railway travellers. 1t is sought to les
sen the discomfort and annoyance Of
travel on many lines on which there is
excessive vibration by the construction
of pneumatic car (which embraces
the application of an elastic fluid as & I
absorbent for vibration and oscilla-
tion." An air cushion is arranged on
the cellular principle between the car
body and the truck frame, and as there
is an equal distribution of air under
varying pressures all oscillation is pre-
vented. This elastic medium is said to
completely absorb all vibration result
ing from rough tracks, jointing of rails,
excessive speed or any other cause, and
the car is carried smoothly and steadily
along. This pneumatic system can be
equally well applied to street cars, and
instances are not hard to ind in which it
unquestionably should be.--Exchange.

ONLY FORTY PER CENT.

or tho Old Colony Stock Was Exchanged d
for that OF the Consolidated.
The time limit for the exchange of shares
of the Old Colony Railroad Company's
stock for those of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford expired yesterday,
according to the circular issued June 10 last
by the Consolidated road. The basis of
exchange was ten shares of Old Colony for
nine shares of New York, New Haven and
Hartford. The total number of shares ex-
changed was few more than 5000. The
total number of shares of the Old Colony
is, according to the company's latest re-
port, 131 ,675. The Consolidated has there
fore, absorbed little more than 40 per
cent. of the Old Colony. 1t is understood
that the remaining 20 per cent. necessary
to give the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad control Is owned by
persons whose interests are closely identi-
fed with the Consolidated road. The re-
suit of the exchange is fully up to the ex-
pectation of the management, and there
is no immediate Intention of extending
the time or reopening the books for fur
ther exchange.

evening was much enjoyed, rs the several
events were meritorious. Eaton and Ed
wards kept good friends during three
rounds with the gloves, and Frank Her
rick, heavyweight wrestler, fioored Tom
Gilhooley and Ernest Wilkinson in sue
cession. Wilson was last down. Prouty's
parallel bar exercise was clever, and A. G.
Blackinton and Master Dumis' foil prac-
tice was entertaining. Tim Hart and
Billy Edwards demonstrated that they
were skillful boxers and their ego" Mas
lively. The fancy tumbling by Tommy
McGras was first-class, and youngsters
HeeIy and Whites mid-air ring exercise
was almost up to the standard OF profess
sionalism.

attracted much attention. The result
was tie, one point being scored on each
side. The Metropole team was Heilborn
captain, Il. Richards, p. Morgan, II. B.
Thompson, Tim Hart and Herbert Eaton.
The other team was Wilkinson, captain,
