Address Tries to Save HIS Friend and
Gets INTO Trouble.
The case of Rubo Brandt, a Hoboken Ital-
ian, charged with having committed a Grim
inal assault on Michaelina Poptalfa, of No.
604, jefferson street, Hoboken. was set dow
for trial in the Sessions Court yesterday.
A special panel of forty-eight jurors, drawn
from the regular panel of petit jurors, had
been drawn to try the case.
When the case was called Prosecutor Win
field informed the Court that Dominick T.
Address, of Hoboken, one the regular panel,
but who had not been drawn on the special
panel, had approached several of the Jurors
in behalf of Brandt, the defendant. This
information, Mr.. Winfield said, was given
by David Brooks, Robert Guy and William
Mettam, three of the men drawn on the
special panel.
Judge Hudspeth then invited Address,
Brooks, Guy, Mettan and the Prosecutor in
to the judges room. There Address con-
fessed thai he was guilty. Upon returning
to the court room the case was resumed. As
each juror was called Prosecutor Winfield
questioned him as to whether he had been
approached by Address.
Juror James Perry said that Andress told
him that be Andress) had a friend on trial.
Juror Theodore Mendels, when questioned.
said that Address spoke to him and said: Il
have a friend in Hoboken who is coming up
for trial for assault. | was not drawn on the
case, but you are. There's nothing in the
case"
Juror Hugo Wagner said that he met An
dress in Ruempler's saloon. Address asked
him to nave a drink. He then told him that
he had a friend who was to be tried.
Judge Hudspeth-Did you drink with
hims
Wagner-Yes, sir.
Mr.. Winfield challenged Wagner, and the
other two were challenged by ex-Judge Hof-
man, for the defense.
Prosecutor Winfield then asked that the
court order Address held to awaiJ the action
of the Grand Jury on a charge OF en-
bracery.
Judge Hudspeth replied that it was a ques-
tion whether or not Address acts consisted
of embracery. The court would, however,
hold him to await the action of the Grand
Jury for criminal contempt of court. Address
gave bail for his appearance and was allowed
to go.
The trial of Brandt then proceeded. The
woman's story of how the assault was COM
mitted was a rather peculiar one and the jury
acquitted the defendant without leaving
their seats.

LINDENS TAKE THE LEAD.
DoOlittles Receive . Double
Defeat-OIfer Gamev.


The crack quinbette of the Doolittle
Bowling Club went down before the
Lindens last night in the scheduled games
of the Jersey City League tournament
rolled at Edinger's alleys. The defeat is
the first sustained by the Doolittles, and
causes them to surrender first place in
the tournament, the Lindens now occu-
plying the exalted position. The games
last night were highly exciting, the
Doolittles bringing with them a large
delegation of strong lunged rooters. But
rooters don't win games nowadays, and
the Doolittles went down before the
crack Celeryville bowlers. The Lindens
rolled a steady game throughout, and
piled up credit upon credit until victory
crowned their efforts. Jack" Perry
bowled in particularly fine form, he Sc
curing an average score of 176 for the
two games. Following are the scores:-

and which it is assumed is authentic
..Tne Erie Railroad Company will here
after charge for the transportation of
BICYCLES the same as for 100 pounds of
excers baggage, with the exception that
the minimum charge will be fifteen cents
instead of twenty-five. This action was
precipitated by the recent decision of
the Supreme Court, to the effect that
the releases demanded by the railways
are va1ueless, and that they may be held
for any damage done to bicycles accept
ed for. free transportation Special pro-
vision will be made for the storing of
the wheels in such a way as to prevent
their being broken, and baggage masters

No. II Madison avenue.
The committee has decided to have the
parade form at the northern end of the
Boulevard instead of in the vicinity of
Belmont avenue. as was first proposed.
BY this plan the New York clubs, who
viii be represented by large delegations,
will have no difficulty in locating the
parade. The wheelmen from the Metropo-
oils will cross over to Jersey on the
Forty-second street ferry, which will
bring them to Weehawken, very near
the starting point. The parade will then
pass over the road but once, cutting
down the distance, so that no one can
complain of the route being too long.
This change will allow of a dismissal
by noon, at the latest, giving the partici-
pants every opportunity to reach home
in time for the turkey dinner. The Road
Committee will hold another meeting on
Wednesday evening, when further ar
engagements will be made.

The young woman who wishes to be

must cultivate the art of listeninw with

really has to say anything is the callow
