The lunatic strobe on until he reached

CALLS 1T A $1,000 INSULT.
MIR. Adams Had His Feelings Hurt
by N Central

by n Central
Through Lawyer Walter Carroll Low,
Of the Bennett Building. Philip Adams,
a travelling salesman. has begun suit
In the Supreme Court to recover 5000
for an alleged insult which he claims
was on a train of the New
York Central and Hudson River Rail-
road. by a trainman employed by he
Company.
He alleges in his complaint that Nov.
%. 1893, he bought a ticket at Rutland,
VT, which would take him to this city
by way Of Troy. When he arrived in
Troy he boarded a Central train and re-
tired in a sleeper. Early on the morning
of the 26th ne was awakened by the
brakeman and told that the train had
arrived at Poughkeepsie.
Adams replied, II am not going to
Poughkeepsie. but to New York City,"
Then the conductor of the train came
in and said: Your ticket entitled you
to q ride from Troy to Poughkeepsie,
n II you var to go to New York
City you must pay the fare II not, get
off the train or you will be put on"
Adams alleges that he paid the fare,
amounting to $1.46, to the conductor
under protest, and was insulted and
abused by the conductor during the re-
mainder Of the journey, SO that his feel
ings were damaged to the extent OF 5000.
LAWYER Frank LOOMS, representing
the Railroad Company, denies the COM
plant in full, and alleges that Adams's
ticket only entitled him to a ride to
poughkeepsie.

The case Of Gustav Dahl. of 800 East

Armenian Turk with handing him metal
knuckles for the purpose of using them
on the sillk-weaver strikers, came up be-
fore Judge Eoorhis at the Fifty-sev-

Judge Noorhis thought the young
man had no intention OF using the
knuckles. and after a severe reprimand
and lecture allowed him to go.
Counsellor August Wagner applied to
District-Attorney Fellows for leave to
permit Dahl to appear before the Grand
Jury of this county for the purpose OF
having Bracken indicted. should this
fail him, Counsellor Wagner intends to
bring a mandamus proceeding against
Judge Voorhis to compel him to get a
