JUSTICE DISPENSED.
Trials and Convictions in the Ses-
siOns TODAY.

Jersey City has a policeman of whom she
should be proud. He is Officer Johnson of
the Seventh precinct and he refused a bride
of ten dollars. Not only that, but he has
such a superior optical endowment that he
can behold at a distance of several hundred
feet, things that men on the ground canno
see. George Snow, a gentlemanly looking
clerk was placed on trial before Justices
Hudspeth and Kenny this morning for a
serious ofense. Johnson testified that he
was on the sonth edge of the Pennsylvania
Railroad cut opposite the old Christ Hospital
building when be saw Snow acting in a dis
orderly manner. Johnson ran across the
bridge and caught Snow coming through
Magnolia avenre and arrested him. On the
way to the station house Snow, johnson
says, offered him ten dollars to let him go.
This bald headed bride the ~yirtuous johnson
rejected with scorn, declaring that he would
not let such a rascal go for ten times ten
dollars.
John H. McGrath a former policeman and
saloon keeper, but now at work on the .BouE
evard told the same story. John Hays, an
intelligent looking man who was at work on
the Boulevard with McGrath testified that
he saw Snow but did not see him doing what
Johnson and McGrath said he did. Never
theless Snow was found guilty and ina high
ly moral lecture Judge Hudspeth sentenced
him to the Pentitentiary for seven months.
When the sentenced was pronounced Snow
reeled as though he had been struck a heavy
blow.
William De Martini who whipped his
mother gas sent to the County Jail for five
DAYS.
John Daniels, a burly negro, convicted of
~assaulting his wife was given one day in the
County Jail.

MARVELs OF THE SUN.

M. Camille Flammarion has an attractive
method of communicating scientific facts,
and in an article in a recent issue of Science
Sitt,ngs, he gives a characteristic descrip-
ton of the marvels of the sun. The celes-
tial body, he tells US, weighs 1924. 600 times
the weight of our globe, and is 1,2S3,000
times the size of our earth. To form an idea
of the superiority of the greatness of the
sun over the earth we can represent the sun
by a sphere or SO meters-larger than the
Pantheon of Paris-and place beside it to
represent the earth a toy balloon of 20 cen
timeters in diameter.
The real dimensions of the sun are con-
Guided from its apparent dimensions COM
bined with its distance. Six different meth
DDS of measurements prove that ii the entire
earth were transported to the same distance
as the sun, it would be seen at an angle of
l7.64 degrees-that is to say, at a distance
equal to II, 693 times the diameter of our
globe, or, in other words, 149, 100000 kilo-
meters. The only way of approaching such
a distance is to measure it by the time a
train would take to traverse it. Suppose,
for instance, an express, train going at sixty
kilometers an hour set out to reach the SUI
the duration of the Journey would be 149,
000, 900 minutes, or 2,4S3, 1888 hours, or 103,-
472 days, or 2S3 years. If sent off at once
such a train would reach tue sun in the year
2177. But an express train travels at a rela-
lively slow rate of speed.
Sensation, which is rapid, almost instan-
t~aneous, travels at the rate Of t~wenty-eight
meters per second. If q child asked for the
sun, as they sometimes do for the moon, and
nurse gave it to him, and he had arms long
enough to reach the sun so that it burnt his
fingers, he would never feel this burn, The
child would become an old man and die long
before the sensation Of burning could pass
from the tips of his fingers to his brain, for
the time requisite for the transmission of
this sensation would not be less han 1868

SAYS IT'S BLACKnAIL
The Hoboken Dentist Arrested
For An Alleged Outrage
en- a Little Girl.

Detective Gallagher last night arrested
DR.. Benjamin F.. O'Brien: the proprietor of
the U. S. Dental Association of Washington
street, Hoboken. on a warrant issued by Re
corder McDonough, charging him with in
decent assault upon eleven year old Edna
Deetjen of No. POI Garden street. The story
of the assault was told in last nights JERSEY
Cry News.
Detective Gallagher received word that
O'Brien was at McKeever's Hotel. at Chris
topher and West streets. New York, and he
Immediately went over and placed him I'M
der arrest. O'Brien made no trouble,
and went back peaceably to Hoboken.
On the way over he stoutly denied the
charges. and said he could prove it was a
case of blackmail. He was locked up, and
this morning he had a hearing before Recor-
der M~cDonough.
EDNA'S TORY IMPRESSIVE.
The first witness to testify was little Edna:
She told her story in a straightfor ward
manner that greatly impressed his Honor
that she was telling the truth.
The next witness was an attache of the
association. Miss Dora Eberstaller.
She testified that she admitted
Edna, and conducted her to the chair,
and left her alone with DR.. OBrien. She
was not with the doctor more than a very
lew l0lIuISS dul II oOO4o 0NlS IA OESh
and she said she heard nothing out of the
way. DR.. Burcher. a well known and rep
utable dentist, testified as to DR.. OBrien's
good character, SO also did several girls who
had been to his place.
AN u~NFRIENDLY PARTNER
In the audience was DR.. Richter, a den
tist, who at one time was a partner of Dr..
O'Brien's. He wanted to be sworn as a wit
ness. but the Recorder would not allow him
TO testify. To the newspaper men, however,
he said a great many things against DR.
O,Brien, whom he showed a disposition to
injure.
DR.. O'Brien stated that there was no truth
in what DR.. Ricter had said as they were
bitter enemies sand that DR.. Richter had
been discharged from the ASSOCIATION.
Lawyer Weller, counsel for the defence,
requested that bail be placed low in this case
as the evidence brought out was
not sufficiently strong to actually hold
him. His Honor placed the amount at $500
and the doctor was led back to the cell in
default of bail. When he was being taken
away his mother and sister who were-in
court, created a scene by crying and wiring
ing their hands carrying on to such an
extent that the Recorder ordered the
Sergeant-at-Arms to put them out.

LABOR IN GREAT ATTITUDES.

Investigation among the workingmen on
the Peruvian Central Railroad has brought
capabilities of men to labor in rarefed at
mosphere. The line starts at Lima, in lati-
tude IL degrees, and the highest point
reached by the road is at the tunnel of Ga
ler1a, which is 15,645 feet above sea level.
From deductions made by the investigators
it appears that the men were able to perform
a fair ssea-level' days work at any place
along the route where the altitude is not
greater than 5000 or 10000 feet, providing
they had gradually worked up to that height
fromlower levels. At attitudes above 10000
feet and under 12,000, the amount Of work
performed by each man showed a sudden
falling Off of from o%ne-fourth to one-tnird,
and at from Il, 5000 to $4,000 feet, 100 men
could do no more work than fifty would at
sea level.-Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

LAST WALTZ.

Mime. Carette, once the companion of the
Empress Eugene, tells in her memoir this
new story of Prince Bismarck
sit was a great ball at the Tuileries in
1867, during the international exhibition.
Count Bismarck stood in a corner watching
the dancers in the eotillion; the thought
came to me that | might offer him a bou
quet of roses, and thus compel him to dance
with me. Herr Won Bismarck was at that
time the subject of universal interest He
accepted my bouquet and without hesitation
responded to the invitation thai vent with
it. He danced a waltz with me in a manner
quite beyond criticism. This incident, which
seemed to harmonic SO little with Count
Bismarck's seriousness and the important
part he was already playing in State affairs,
amused immensely the kings and queens
who were present. AS he escorted me to my
seat after the waltz he look a rosebud from
the buttonhole of his coat and gave it to me
with the remark
:" Madam, please keep this bud as a
momento of the last waltz that / shall ever
dance. / shall never forget it,"

HIS NECK IN DA !sGER.
But For be Police Angry Ital-
ians Would Have Lynehed
a Padrone.

A, small riot occurred yesterday after
moor between Italian laborers and the police
on the dock of the Hamburg American
Packet Company at Hoboken, yesterday af-
ternoon, which almost terminated i'll the
lynching of Rafford Certeser, a padrone,
aud the throwing overheard of Constable
John Reese.
The trouble was caused by Constable
Reese attempting to arrest NJ. Pirolo, an
Italian laborer on the dock, who was
charged with stealing S34.50 from Padrone
Certeser.
When Reese went to the dock to make
the arrest Pirolo could not be found. A
search for him was made on board the steam
ship &c ilert which was getting ready to sail
for Italy this morning. He was found under
one of the hunks in the storage with the
money in his possession.
HE ELL 0 HELP.
Constable Reese dragged him from the
ship, and when he reached the dock the thief
set up an Italian yell for help, and imme-
diauely every dago on the dock dropped
his work and vent for Reece
Reese drew his revolver and kept the
men at bay for a fcw moments while he
blew his whistle for assistance. Half "a
dozen policemen and special dock officers
arrived.
TRIED TO YNC THE
The Italians were not going to let one of
their lumber be arrested. however, without
a fight for him, and one of them secured a
rope and advanced towards Certeser, n
attempted to throw it over his head.
Luckily for the padrone the rope fell short
of its mark, for if it had ever landed around
his head he would have been killed in the
twinkling of an eye. The officers then drew
their revolvers and threatened to shoot the
first man who came near them. This
subdued the rioters, who let Reese take his
prisoner away without further trouble.
At Police Headquarters Pirola gave back
the money to Certeser, and was allowed to
return to the ship.

A NEW FAD IN DIET.

Vegetarians are outdone by a new diet re-
form prophet, who advocates the eating of
natural uncooked foods. His name is Mac
donald, and he seems to have gained a small
number of adherents in Paris. 1t is part of
the system he advocates never to eat or
drink anything but vegetable foods and
natural liquids, precisely in the state in
which they are found in nature. Hot drinks
of all kinds are specially condemned, al
though it is not quite easy to see how the use
of water from natural hot springs would run
counter to the principle laid down. Carrots
and turnips, beans and potatoes we must eat
raw, it seems, if we value our health, and
fruit we must eat just as nature gives it to
peel an apple is not stated. Mr.. Macdonald
himself eats raw oatmeal mot OATS, which,
as q ScoUchman, he thinks not only extreme
1y noulishing, but palatable as well.-Lot-

ST. LOUIS, July &c, 1S94-Charles Wilson,
colored, aged twenty-four years, was hanged
in thejail yard on Twelfth street at thirteen
minutes past six o'clock this morning. His
neck was not broken by the drop and his
body turned and twisted in convuisive move
1nents until his heart ceased beating at
twenty-three minute past six O'Clock.
Wilson passed the early morning hours in
payer and conversation with the Rev. Father
McErlane, his spiritual adviser. He
marched to the scaffold with a firm step,
and while his arms were being pinioned
he asked that his shoes be removed,
saying he believed in the superstition that
a man should not die with his shoes on.
When the black cap was adjusted Wilson
called out .sGood-bye," and the next mo-
ment his body shot through the trap.
Wilson shot and killed a negro named
Nose Hodges on the night of November 8,
1892. The murder was occasioned by jeal-
ousy over the affections of a colored girl

KILLING CROWS IN GEORGIA.

They have a novel method of killing crows
in Georgia. Grains of corn are pierced, and
through them is inserted the hair from the
tail OF a horse. These grains are scattered
in the field where the crows are in the habit
of coming. When the bird swallows one of
these grains the horses hair prevents it from
passing into the craw and ~irritates the
mouth. The bird rolls over, turns on its
back and scratches to get it out. but to no
purpose. Death results either from strangn-
1ation, or, as is frequently the case, from the
wounds inflicted by the sharp claws, The
crowd gather around the victim, but, al
though they are Of an exceedingly suspicious
nature, they mover attribute the trouble to
the corn.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
