QUEER FEMININE EXHIBITS.
Kearney Acquitted of Robbing Two
ROOZV Ladies.

There was a circus in Judge Hudspeth's
court yesterday afternoon. Francis Kear-
ney was on trial for robbery and assault
and battery. The compliments were
Anderson of No. 725 West New
ark avenue and Rose Farrell of No. 2S
Sixteenth street.
On the day of the alleged robbery and
the women started out to look
for apartments. Twas a hot day and
they walked far. They stopped many
times to quench their thirst at wayside
in one of which they met Kear-
new. who was one of Roses old flames.
Kearney was broke so Rose and her COM
panion paid for the drinks When they
were all feeling pretty gay, Kearney dis
covered that Laurretta had $17 secreted
in the bosom of her dress. He decided to
have it and proceeded. to take it. He
knocked her down and held her quiet
with one hand while with the other he
secured the pocketbook. At the same time
he held Rose against a wall with his foot
SO that she could not interfere. Laurretta
told this story.
The Court had hard work interpreting
her slang expressions. She caused q sem
sation by taking down her back hair and
An officer prevented her from removing
any more of her wearing apparel. She
eluded his vigilance, however, and man
aged to slip her false teeth out. She, held
them up triumphantly and showed the
Court two vacant spaces on the. plate.
She claimed that Kearney knocked them
out. Kearney was acquitted.

SUCCESSFUL STRIKE.
Hoboken Boiler Makers Score a Rise
in Wages.

The boiler makers of the machine
shops of w. and A. Fletcher, at Thir-
teenth and Hudson streets, Hoboken,
went out on strike yesterday morning
because the firm reduced their wages
ten per cent.
The first of this ear the firm promised
the boiler makers, so the men say, an
increase of wages, as soon as bushes
warranted it. Instead of the increase,
the firm last Saturday informed the
boiler makers that beginning with Mon
day yesterday, wages would be de-
creased ten per cent.
When the boiler makers heard of the
new scale they were wild, and called an
indignation meeting for last Sunday
night. At the meeting they all to go
when the works started up, there was
not one boiler maker on hand.
A committee of the strikers called up
on Business Manager Taylor, of the
ence. When the committee emerged
from the office they wore happy smiles
and nodded pleasantly to a number of
their fellow workmen who were waiting
for them outside. The delegation was
beseiged with questions, and when every
body was acquainted with the result sew
eral loud cheers were given.
The conference resulted in a comprom-
Use. The strikers demanded that their
wages should be increased from $2.55 to
ThisMr. Taylor said the firm could not
possibly do, but would agree to give $2.70
per day, which is just six per cent. Al
ter several lengthy discussions the dele
terms, and the men will resume work
early tomorrow,

LAMPS THAT ARE CLOCKS.
They Were Commonly Used In h
Seventeenth Century.

Of the various examples that ave
been given of early specimens of the
clockmaker's art not the least inter-
esting are the several types of lamp
clocks. One of these was of a kind quite
common in the Seventeenth Century
and consisted of a lamp burner placed
at the base of a glass oil receptacle
mounted vertically on a suitable stan
dard. The oil reservoir had attached
to it a scale, facing the burner and show
ing the hours, beginning at O'Clock in
the afternoon, at which time the lamp
tn be lighted in Winter, and ending
at 7 O'Clock in the morning. The lamp
being lighted the gradually descending
level of the oil, as combustion proceeded,
marked the hour.
The other device-of later origin, dating
back to the beginning of the present CEN
tury-utilized the same principle. 1t con
sists of two communicating Oil chambers,
chambers was placed a night lamp to
was suspended a float from a cord
which passed around a small pulley.
The latter was mounted on a horizontal
axis ending in the centre of the dial.
The float, of course descended at the
oil was consumed, and carried the index
hand along with 1t, thus making the
hours precisely as the case already cited.
AT the best these timepieces could have
had only an Indifferent degree Of accu-
racy, yet they probably served their
purpose well, and certainly are interest
ing at the present time as illustrating
some of the expedients adopted by me-
chanic.ans of IN earlier period.-rCas-

BRIMAGI0N's SORAPE.
Visits His Wife with a Revolver and
Threatens Her.

~ no ~
Samuel Brimagion, clerk in the employ
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, visited his
divorced wife with a revolver this morning
and raised a disturbance in her home, at
Nc. 40 Charles street, which resulted in his
arrest. A divorce suit. instituted by Mrs
Brimagion is now pending, and the couple
have not lived together since last March.
Brimagion lives at No. 5S5 Jersey avenue.
Until last March he lived happily with his
family at No. 3O3 Webster avenue. The
trouble then began, which ended in a sepa-
ration. Mrs. B~rimagion boarded with her
uncle at No. 40 Charles street. She is a
rather young looking woman SO years old,
and has two children, a boy and a girl. i've
and eight years old respectively.
About nine o'clock this morning her hus-
band came to her house, and as the uncle
was out, made himself quite at home, and
said he came to see the children.
The old quarrel was revived, and Mrs.
Brimagion claims her husband attempted to
shoot her with a revolver. She fed from
the house and told her story to Roundsman
Howell. whom she met at Sherman avenue.
The officer went to the house and saw
Brimagion sitting in a chair. He asked him
what the trouble was, and to give up the
revolver. B%rimagion claimed he had no
revolver, but his wife was positive she saw
it. She searched him and drew the weapon
from his hip pocket. 1t was loaded in every
chamber.
Brimigion was placed under arrest. Mrs.
Brimagion says her husband has threatened
several times to take her life in the same
manner.
