Ross got very angry and after wordy
war was arrested In court this morn
Ing the old toll-gate keeper practically
admitted that Mr.. Ross was accustomed
to pass the gate at times, paying toll
on his return or at his convenience
The defense of Mr.. Ross was that the
toll was Illegal. and that he had been
feloniously stopped on the public high
way. The gate, his counsel explained, is
within the city limits and. moreover. the
charter of the Jamaica Plank Road Com
pany has expired through their having
surrendered the care Of the road to the
counties Of Kings and Queens.

has been an extraordinary extermina-
tion of all the poultry in New Utrecht

petrator.

for the Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals
and the Society sent Detective A. F.
Grover to investigate. He obtained the
services of a chemist of the New York
Board of Health, and the latter, upon
Analysing the stomachs of some of the
dead chickens, found that they had been
killed with rat poison mixed in cornmeal,
which had been thrown In the yards
where the chickens roamed.

well-known resident of Fiftieth street,
near New Utrecht avenue. warrant
was sworn out for his arrest. and this
morning he was arraigned before Justice
Carl NJ. Cowenhoven, at Fort Hamilton.
The complaint against him was made
by John Cole, of Fiftieth street, New
Utrecht, and Mr.. Hilman, OF Fifty
fourth street and Fifth avenue Cole
had lost twenty-three chickens and Hill
man twenty-nine. All died as suddenly
as II they had been struck by lightning
Detective Grover testified that he had
searched DURYEA'S premises and founo
a box Of cornmeal with rat poison mixed
in II. Duryea was held under bail 70,

of.ense Is a fine of $500 and one year il
