TRUCKS ON THE BOULEVARD.
Test Case Before Justice Steers
for Decision.
Mflkman and Butcher Arrested
Under an Old Ordinance.

A test case to determine whether the
owners Of trucks and market wagons
have right to drive their conveyances
on the Boulevard and the roadways of
Prospect Park was heard by Justice
Alfred e. Steers in the Grant Street
Police Court, Brooklyn, this morning.
The defendants were Henry Lieb, a
milkman, living at Gravesend and
Twenty-second avenues. and Jacob
Singer, wealthy butcher, of Lawrence
avenue and Third street. They were
arrested on Wednesday while driving
on the Boulevard. They had been
warned to leave the Boulevard and use
the roadway. but said they wanted a
test case made.
In court to-day they were represented
by Lawyer Marcus B. Campbell. Assis-
tant Corporation Counsel Angel repre-
sented Park Commissioner Squier Mr.
Campbell disputed the right of the city
to restrict the use of the Boulevard
claiming 1t was public highway. He
did not deny that an ordinance had been
violated. but asserted that the ordinance
was unlawful.
In support of this claim he said that
in 1879 surveyor who had been arrested
on the Boulevard for trespass collected
s4ss damages, Judge Moore ruling that
the Boulevard was public highway.
Justice Steers said he would render a
decision on Friday. Each side said It
would appeal the case provided the
other side won.
The truckmen OF Gravesend and
Brooklyn are greatly interested in the
swells. They say they use the Boule-
ward only in the early morning.

THE LATE FATHER WALTER.
A Memorial Tablet I'm His Honor in
St. Patrfck's Church.

II the late Father Walter, who was for
so many years the philanthropist Of st.
Patrick's parish, as we'll as the beloved
pastor of its church. had lived until today
he would have been sixty-seven years of
age. There is something singularly appro-
pirate, therefore. I'm the ceremonies that
v i'll take place at the church tonight in
connection with the regular monthly SER
vices of the Sacred Heart. A memorial
tablet to Father Walter is being placed in
the south transept of the edifice and to-
night II will be unveiled by Bishop Keane
of the Catholic University. who will also
deliver an address upon the life and works
of Father Walter. The bishop will be as
sisted in the cereT onies by Fathers Gioyd
and MCGEE and DIR. Stafford. The tablet is
the centerpiece of a beautiful Gothic de-
sign. in which statues representing st;
Vincent de Paul and st. Ambrose, the
patrons of the late pastor, form n promi-
nent feature. Two other statues, repre-
senting recording angels. are also included
in the design. Gothic canopies and pin
nacles rise over the design and the statues.

DELAwARE,s SENATOR.
Mfr. Addicks the Probable Successor

Mfr. Addicks the Probable Successor
of Anthony Higgins.
From the Baltimore Sun.
1t has been all along expected that in the
event of republican success in Delaware ].
Edward Addicks would be the next United
States Senator from this state. Before the
election, when Addicks limited that he
wanted to be United States Senator, the re-
publicans laughed at him, but now they
have found that 1t is no laughing matter.
Mr. Addicks controls a majority Of the
votes in the state legislature. and the op-
posing wing has discovered this fact but II
is too late to save Senator Anthony Hig-
gins, and he will have to walk the po-
ltical plank when the legislature meets.
The lesser lights among the leaders of
the republican. party who have stood by
Senator Higgins are now flocking to the
Addicks wing, and all the republican news
papers, except one in the city of Whining
ton are booming Addicks. When asked If
he was in the senatorial race. Mr.. Addicks
said: II am in the race and aspire to the
honor in opposition to Senator Higgins,
and, what is more 1 am going to succeed.
1 do not see how I can speak more en-
phatically. These are the facts. 1 might
add that nothing Is likely to arise that
could swerve me from this course" When
asked II there would be any compromise
Mr.. Higgins would go back to the Senate
and Mr.. Addicks get some much-desred
legislation, Mr.. Addcks said: mo! No!
There is not nor can there be anything of
the kind. 1 am in to win and to stay until
l do win."

Suicide In France.
From Paris Letter to London Telegraph.

From Paris Letter to london Telegraph.
There is much matter for the moralist to
philosophize upon in a table Of statistics
just published, giving the number Of sui
cides that have been committed in France
since 1889. In four years no fewer than
$4,000 men and women have taken their
own lives in the happy land of France"
This formidable total makes an average Of
g. 500 suicides a year Significant as q sign
Of these practical and unromantic days is
the fact that out of this yearly average
only 300 suicides-less than a twentieth
part-can be ascribed to disappointed love.
Poverty or disgrace must presumably be
held responsible for the great majority of
suicides I'm France, but statistics are silent
on this point. 1t is noteworthy that the
above mentioned table of statistics shows
that almost as many women as men die by
their own hand every year in France.
