Judge Kelly has denied the motion of
the plaintiff for a new trial of the
cause Of Anton Norman, as administra-
tor Of the estate of Frederick Norman.
against the Peoples Ice company.
Frederick Norman was drowned while

1t was alleged that the company cut ice

around places where ice is cut. The
court holds that the action had been

Brought Against the Dispatch on
an Old Matter.
Joao Francisco de Freitas has begun
an action for defamation of character
against George Thompson. of the Dis.
patch, alleging $4,000 damages. The
basis OF the action Is the publication of
a news item under date of Oct. l. 1892,
sent by a press association from PhiIa-
delphia, to the effect that the plaintiff
had been accused Of joining with Tin
dale Palmer, a former Philadelphia
newspaper man, i'll stealing $40, 600
from the Auer I~ncandescent Light com.
pany. The plaintiff is a resident of Rio
de Janeiro, Brazil. He says that in
September, 1890, he entered into a nego-
tiation with Tindale Palmer, represent
ing the South American Weisbach In
candescent Light company for the pur-
chase OF a patent. and paid Palmer
$4,000 for the patent. The charge. of
dishonesty in the deal is denied. 1t is
alleged that the good name Of the
plaintiff has been injured at home and
abroad by the publication of the article
complained of in the Dispatch. The
Dispatch is n Of a great many papers
throughout the United States that are
sued on the same account.
Tindale Palmer. of Philadelphia, has
also sued George Thompson, of the Dis

There is not a word of truth in this

Policeman Fired.
Yesterday afternoon a little episode
occurred i'll the mayors Office which is
more or less related to the foregoing
performance. Chief Clark brought
Patrolman John NJ. Ahern before Act
ing Mayor Brady, and. after hearing
what Mr.. Ahern had to say, the acting
mayor dismissed him from the force.
Chief Clark complained that Ahern had
been working against the police force.
and that his conduct tended to
demoralize the discipline of the force.
The Margaret street station, to which
Ahern formerly belonged, had fire..
quently complained that Ahern used
insulting language to his superior Of
t@icers, so the chief said. and he had
therefore transferred him to the central
station to give him another chance. but
his conduct had not improved. 1t seems
that Ahern had been in the habit of
chipping OFF, things to the Pioneer
Press, which, if true. would have re-
Elected seriously upon the police de-
partment. The paper would invariably
write the ~''stories" as though they were
absolutely true. 1t is believed that the
Pioneer Press will show its gratitude to

and the committee accepted his resig>

reason for declining is that his business
as an officer of the Germania bank takes
all his time, and he cannot spare it for
political work or to serve in the legiS-
lature. He is a man of experience and
would be valuable in the legislature,
and he has a host Of friends who regret
that his services cannot be had in the
