THE GRANDMOTHER REFUSES.
Her Daughter Not a Fit Person tt
Care for Her Children.

Her Daughter Not Fit Person to
Care for Her Children.
Counsellor DENIM has applied for writ
of habeas corpus on behalf of Mrs. Laura
Kennedy, of No. 222 Newark avenue, who
wants possession of her two children They
are Imogene, ten years old, and Eugenio,
eight years old.
Soon after the birth of the younger child,
Mrs. Kennedy and her husband mutually
consented to separation. The wife went
to the house of her mother, Mrs. Eliza Nc
Cready, and lived with her. The two chill
dren lived there also, and their father paid
S12 month for their support. About four
weeks ago Mrs. Kennedy decided to leave
her mothers house and take her children
with her
Mrs McCready refused to permit the
children to go with their mother then and on
a number of times since. She claimed that
they had been placed in her custody by their
father, and that her daughter was not a
proper person to have the custody of her
children. Judge Lippincott granted an
order today for the production of the chill
dren into court forthwith, and he will then
render his decision in regard to the appli-
cation.

MISS BARRowoLIFF IMPROVING.

Detective Hottie, who has been working
for month on the Barrowelif case under
Captain Lange, has been returned to the
Fourth precinct, and has resumed his regu-
lar duties This is an acknowledg on
the part Of the police that they are unable
to unravel the mystery. 1t is through no
fault Of theirs, however, as they have done
everything within their power. They
will still keep an eye on it
but will not devote the major portion of their
time to it as they have been doing for the
past thirty days. The cause Of all this
trouble and worry to the police is still con-
fined to a private room at the City Hospital.
She knows she has been hurt, but she does
not know anything of the talk which has
been carried on concerning her-f she
did she would go crazy. As it. is she
will soon be able to leave the dreary hospital
building, and be transferred to the house of
Warden Osborne and the loving care of
friends. She sleeps and eats well now, and
is beginning to look herself again.
She has ceased to worry about her
music scholars and talks great deal
to the nurse about her friends. She sits up
at the window each day from a quarter to
a half an hour and comments on the pano
rama of life which is constantly passing on
Montgomery street. She appeared greatly
interested yesterday in watching the trolley
cars, which emitted blue flames from the
trolley wheels as they cut the ice from the
wires

Saenger Hall this morning at the opening of
the two days session of that body.
Representatives were present from nearly

Many had arrived on Sunday evening and

while the late arrivals were welcomed by the
local members and taken to the comfortable

appropriate replies. The convention then

GUTENBERG KNOCKED OUT.
President Nyles Tierney Takes a De.
cfded Stand.

cIUeO StanQs
After February l, Gutenberg, owing to
the action of it's Common Council, will be
shut off, as regards communication by cleo
trio cars from other points in the northern
portion of the county. When last June the
Gutenberg Council granted the use
of certain streets of the town to
the n H. c. R. R. Co. for cleo
trio lines, the principal condition exacted
was the grading of streets. Afterwards,
thinking to compel the company to come to
better terms, the Council made application
that the headway be reduced from twenty to
fifteen minutes. The company did not re-
quire that and refused. Then the Council
wanted the five cent fare to Hoboken, which
towns nearer Hoboken enjoyed, to extend to
Gutenberg. This the company would aot
agree to. Then the Council sought to COM
pei the company to accede to its demands.
They threatened to stop operation OF cars,
but restraining order was secured from
Chancellor McGilI The matter is still in
litigation in Chancery. The Council sent the
railroad company copies of the ordinance they
would adopt demanding transfers and increas-
ed accommodations President Tierney in
pointed communication answered, declaring
in, so many words that if the Council did not
care to continue with the same agreements as
before the lines would be discontinued The
Council thought this a great bluff, and on
January 16, after conference between the
Council and the company, positively refused
the company's terms This evoked letter
from Myles Tierney which practically settles
the matter, unless the Council relents. Mr..
Nerney stated that after February 1 the
roads in Gutenberg will be discontinued.
Mr.. Tierney wished it understood that the
company harbors no i'll feeling towards the
Council, but the step was taken merely as a
matter of business. If the company agreed
to the transfer to Gutenberg the road
would be operated at a loss.

TROLLEY TO PAVoNIA AVENUE
Rival Companies Came to an Agree
ment Last Night.


ment Last Night.
The differences between the Consolidated
Traction Company and the North Hudson
County Railway Company, which have
caused passenger who use the Pavonia ave-
nue. lines, SO much inconvenience, have been
settled The adjustment of the difficulties
was brought about by the Street and
Water Commissioners who. recently
notified the North Hudson County Com
pany that unless the work of changing the
grade of its rails on Pavonia and Erie street
was begun at once and pushed to speedy
completion, the power to dosit would be re-
voked. The company is anxious to raise its
rails, but by raising them at this time it
would be compelled to comply with the de-
mands of the Traction Company to
replace the old centre bearing rails with the
narrow gauge. The Traction Company has
succeeded in stringing its wires through
Erie street to Pavonia avenue and is operat-
ing it's trolley line to that that point. 1t
was impossible to proceed further because of
the opposition of the North Hudson County
Company to lay narrow gauge rails in
Pavonia avenue The differences were
adjusted last night by an agreement
between the companies relating to the bear
ing of the expense of laying narrow guage
rails. The North Hudson County Company
has already begun the work OF laying the
narrow gauge rails on Pavonia avenue. As
soon as it is practicable poles will be erected,
wires strung. and the trolley system
completed to the Erie ferry. 1t is under
stood that the North Hudson County Com
pany is contemplating the advisability of
again petitioning the Street and Water
Board for a franchise to operate trolley
system ON its Jersey City lines.

-
Leslie ParkfnsOn's Death.
A child, not nine years old, was on trial
today in the Court of General Sessions under
Indictment for atrocious assault and battery.

manslaughter for only his extreme age

On July Charles Parkinson of No. Boyd
avenue took his family for drive. When
they returned home and Mr.. Parkinson had
lifted all from the carriage, he told Leslie,
his six-year-old boy, to close the gate to the
driveway While the little fellow was doing
this Jesse Warren, boy not nine years old,
who lived with his mother and grandmother
at No. 81 Boyd avenue, approached and
called Leslie vile names. Immediately after
ward young Warren threw a sharp stone at
Leslie. It struck him on the corner of the
left eye, almost knocking the eye out. Leslie
screamed and fell down. Jesse Warren ran
home. Mr.. Parkinson heard the scream of
his boy and ran to his assistance. He picked
Leslie up and carried him into the house.
Leslie, after receiving the injury, never
saw well day, and on August E DR.. Vree-
land was called in to attend him. He found
the boy to be suffering from congestion of the
brain. Leslie died on August 16. Jesse
Ware IL was soon after arrested. Young
Warren was today defended by Counsellor
Simpson, who did not deny that the boy
threw the stone or any of the facts alleged
by the State but in speech contended that
the boy was too young to understand the
nature of his actions. The jury convicted
young Warren.
Judge Hudspeth sentenced Jesse to the
Reform School. The little fellow cried bit
taken to jail. A writ of Error will be taken
in, fba paSn

are confined in the Mansfield Jail prelim-
mary hearing at nire o'clock this morn
ing. w. j. Steen and Officer Foster
entered the informations. -Four of the
prisoners were discharged and twenty-one
were held. Two of the number held were
placed under arrest this morning. Every
one of the prisoners protested that they were
entirely innocent of the charges brought
against them Some of the prisoners wept
bitterly and raved wildly when they
were remanded to their cells, from
which they will be sent to the County
Jail The destitution throughout the district
is great, and the families of those under ar
rest will be the greater sufferers. The sud
den and severe change in the weather is
most severe upon the deputies many
of whom are but lightly clad.
They are true to their trust, however,
deriving what little comfort they can from
the heat of the puny bonfire, around
which they shiver. This morning a driving
snow storm is in progress, adding greatly
to the discomfort of all who are exposed.
At nine O'Clock this morning Deputy
Sheriff Lowrey returned to this place after a
tour of the Toms Run district. He reports
everything quiet in that locality this morn
ing, with no indications of immediate
trouble,

THE AMERICAN LEGATION OUTRAGE
BIZ Cable to the United Press.

ROME, Jan. 80, 1S4.-Otficials experts
have appraised the damage done by vandals
at the American Legation and Consulate
here Sunday night. Many Americans and
italians have visited the Legation and
left their cards for Mr. Potter, the
American Minister. Work in the different
bureaux was resumed today, order having
been restored out of the chaos caused by
those who perpetrated the outrage.
The authorities have become convinced
that the malefactors had no other motive
than robbery in entering the premises.
Baron Blanc, the Minister of Foreign At
fairs. has made anxious enquiries as to the
details of the attempt to destroy the Lega-
ton by setting fire to it. His anxiety partly
arises from the fact that his aunt occupied
the upper story of the Legation building.
