Is Suspended.

Judges Hudspeth and kenney. In the
Hudson County Courthouse, Jersey
City, to-day heard the pleas of Justices
of the Peace, Henry Martinez and Will
lam Wilson accused, In their official ca
pacty, OF extortion and receiving fees
illegally.
Justice Martinez pleaded guilty and
sentence was suspended in his case,
Justice Wilson. through his lawyers
pleaded not guilty, claiming that If he
had done anything wrong 1t was through
ignorance of the law and that he had re-
turned every cent OF money he had OBJ
tanned through his misinterpretation of
the law, to tlose to whom II belonged.
Decision in his case was reserved.
Winfield s. Weed and Peter Beck, the
other Justices accused. have already
been punished by fines.
The offense OF this quartet was one of
the most fragrant ever complained of in
New Jersey. In their judicial capacity
they took advantage of every ignorant
peddler. or costermonger, who was ar
raigned before them, to levy excessive
fines. and then remit the same upon
partial payment. which, II was alleged,
went into their own pockets
When indicted on such complaints,
the justices claimed that they were en-
titled by law to receive them.

NEED INVESTIGATING.
Who Is to Blame for These
Steamboat Collisions2
Thousands Of Lives Trusted Daily
to the Care Of the Pilots.
Local inspectors VIII Endeavor to
Fix the Responsibility.

Samuel G. Fairchild, Local Inspector
of the United States Steamboat In
spection Bureau, said this morning that
II rigid inquiry would be made into the
causes of the accidents that have re-
Gently occurred to three steamboats, of
the Iron Steamboat Company.
The Company failed to make report
of the collision last Tuesday night be-
tween the Cetus and the Cepheus or
Norton's Point. The Inspector said that
twenty,four hours more would be
granted the Company in which to file its
report.
The boats of the Iron Steamboat Com
pany are said to carry each year over Il
from various pleasure resorts in this
vicinity. and the Company admits that
during its busy season at least 10000
men, women and hildren pass through
Its hands every twenty-four hours. The
responsibility thus assumed by the Com
pdny is enormous.
1t is not known as yet where the blame
line properly belongs, but the fact is
apparent that Carelessness on the part
of those who handle the boats may
mean great loss of life.
Fortunately no lives were lost in the
collisions of three steamboats, of the
Company within the last two days,
though one man was severely injured
In the tetus-cepheuS accident
The latest accident occurred about SO
o'clock last night. The Pegasus was

The collision occurred several hundred
feet in the off East SiNfpppf IN
street. Although there was panic
among the passengers, they were safely
landed at the White Star dock. The
Pegasus was towed to the foot of Twen-
ty-seventh street. Brooklyn. The dam
age to the boat is estimated at 5000.
The machinery was not injured
The report of the accident filed with
, the local inspectors by Capt. Halsey, of
the Pegasus is as follows:

DIR. Purdy's Report on the Nuisance

Health Commissioner Emery, OF
Brooklyn, to-day received a report from
DIR. Charles Purdy, giving the result OF
his inspection of the dump on the shores
of Coney Island Creek, the foul condi-
t,op of which was told in Tuesday s
evening World"
In his report, DR.. Purdy denies that
any garbage is being dumped there. but
admits there is a foul odor. He VIII not
say positively that the odor is not an
ANNOYANCE to the residents OF Coney
Island, because he never happened to
be there when the breeze was blowing
in that direction.
He saws means will be taken to put a
atop to the smells, and Health Commits
sioner Emery says the dump will be
carefully watched to see that the law is
not violated. Thus the Coney Island
residents are assured of speedy relief.
