He MUST SWING.
Chancellor MCGill Refuses
to Save Altenberger's
Neck.
WRIT OF ERROR ASKED FOR
Counsel Salinger Urges in Vaiu
lnformalities at the
Trial.

Chancellor McGill has refused to grant
a writ of error in the case of Murderer
AlteQburger, who is condemned to hang
next month for the cruel murder of his
sweetheart, Katie Rupp.
The application was made privately last
week by Assemblyman Salinger, the mur-
derer's counsel, who advanced as the first
reason that photographs of the girl were
used as means to identify her. Secondly,
that when Altenberger was detained at
Utica he made a confession to the Chief
of Police i'll that city, who neglected to
give him the customary warning that
anything he might. say would be used as
evidence against him.
The confession was used in the trial.
Thirdly, that there were errors in the
trial and evidence was adduced which
was irrelevant, and in fact, according
to Mr.. Salinger, there were abundant
informalities to warrant the interference
of the Chancellor to save his client S
neck
THE CHANCELLOR REFUSES.
His Honor did not deem it necessary
to notify Prosecutor Winfield to give him
an opportunity to be heard, but took the
papers, holding them for twenty-four
hours.
After perusing them carefully the Chan
cellor sent word to Mr.. Salinger that he
could see no good reason for the grant
ing of the writ of error.
Unless the Governor should interfere

The original declaration of independ-

AMERICAN ENsIGNs.
They Are Matters of Very Careful
Attention.

ALLcMEAOus
The flags of the United States Navy
are made of American bunting thorough
ly tested for strength, and soaked in salt
water and dried in the sun for colors.
There may be some hundred and sixty
flags on United States warship-say
twenty-five foreign flags, according to
the station on which she will cruise,
twenty American ensigns, eleven pen
nants, four union jacks, tWebive Rear Ad-
ternational signals, and the remainder
signal and miscellaneous flags. Ensigns
(stars and stripes of course) run in eight
sizes, from that used on vessels with very
long spars, such as the new Brooklyn
and Minneapolis will have, and which is
nineteen feet on the hoist and thirty-six
feet on the fly, to the little 237x4.5o foot
the original thirteen States in its union.
The No. 1Unton Jack Is the 10.20X14. 40
foot union of the No. ] ensign, and the
other jacks conform similarly tetAe -Uni-
ons of the corresponding ensigns.
When a captain puts his ship into COM
mission he hoists, in addition the ensign,

the union occupying 1850, with thirteen
stars.
The Admirars and Vice Admirars flags
of the United States Navy, when these
ranks are filled. are blue, with four and
three white stars respectively. 1t will be
remembered from the Columbian naval
review, when our fleet was divided into
three sQuadrons, each ,n command of

English distinctions of the blue, the red
and the White flag.
The Secretary of the Navy flies a blue
flag with four white stars, an anchor and
cable, the Assistant Secretary reversing
the colors. The Presidents flag is blue
with the arms of the United States, the
eagle and stars white the shield preserv-
ing the ''tinctureS.''

ANOTHER VICTIM.

A shocking accident, the details of which
the accident of a week ago at Grand street
and johnson avenue, and which resulted in
the death of Bruno Gr1mna, occurred shortly
before three o'clock this afternoon on York
street, about one hundred feet west Of Wash
ington street. A six-year-old boy who, up
to half-past three o'clock, had not bean iden-
titled, was struck by trolley car, and horri-
bly, mangled
UNDER THE WHEELS.
The youngster, according to the stories
told by eye witnesses. was stealing a ride on
a wagon of the New Jersey Ice Company
which was going up York street. AS the
wagon reached Soney's locksnith shop the
lad jumped off and started to run across the
street. He did not see the Newark avenue
open trolley car No. Z, which was
coming down the street at fair rate of
speed, and ran directly in front of it. He
was thrown undsr the wheels. His left leg
was cut off above the ankle, and bones in
the right limb were broken in four or. five
different places. The foot on this leg was

was cut open, and the intestines protruded
from the gaping wound.
SHOCKING SIGHT.
Motorman Hanley, who had charge of the
car, did not see the child until the car struck
him. Haniey quickly pulled the reversing
lever and although the car was going at a
lively rate of speed he stopped it within aspace
of fifteen feet, A crowd quickly gathered
and willing hands soon had the unfortunate
lad from under the car. He was taken
to Laird's drug store on Washington
street where every effort was made to
relieve the suffering of the unfortunate lad.
The First Precinct patrol wagon was sum
moned and the boy was removed to the City
Hospital. 1t is extremely doubtful if he
will live until nightfall Police
man Fred siller placed Motorman Hanley
under arrest and locked him up in the First
Precinct station house. 1t is said that Ham
ley has been in the employ of company only
few weeks.
The boy was later identified as Frank
O'Brien of No. 130 York street.
