THE COURT RAISES A POINT.
Suit Against IA Traction Company
for the Death of a Boy.

One year ago today, on October 8,
1894, seven year old Willie Scout, a col
ored boy residing with his widowed
mother in Bayonne, was mangled under
the wheels of a trolley car at Forty
| eighth street and Avenue c, Bayonne.
Mrs. Scott's husband died in 1892, leav-
| ing her with three children, two boys
| and one girl.
On the day of the accident she sent
her two boys, Horace and William, on
an errand. They finished their errand
and We're returning when the accident
| occurred. They were crossing Avenue G
| when two cars came along, one on either
track. The boys passed behind the
north bound car, which INSTRUCTED the
| view of the other car. and walked direct
" in front of it. Horace managed to
jump out of the way, but Willie was
! struck by the car and went under the
wheels.
Michael Moran, the motorman, stopped
the car, but Immediately after lost his
head and reversed the current, causing
the wheels to run over the mangledform
again. The little fellow was picked up
by John McFale, a we'll known resident
of Bayonne, and carried to the side
walk.

Consolidated Traction Company for
so, 900 damages, alleging that no bell was
rung to warn the boys of the approach or
the car. The case was tried before JUS

Counsellor Willard Fisk appeared for
Mrs. Scott and Warren Dixon for he

the boys from behind the car. He did

timony was given in a clear, concise
| Dixon's severe cross-examination. Hor-
ace Scott also testified. but he could not

This ended the case for the plaintiff,
and Mrs. Dixon moved for a non-suit,
urging that no negligence had been
proven against the company. On the

Nj. Dixon replied tina it would, and
intimated as much as though no one
had a right to cross the street at all.
IF we are to abandon the streets to
the trolley cars entirely" said Judge
Lippincott, .it will become contrfbutor'y

| If one comes from behind a car, or

into danger merely because he could

The motion for a non-suit was denied,
and the defense prepared to open their
case.

WILLIAM HARDIBG ACQUITTED.
Result ofthe Conspiracy Trial to Rol

tht O.3s express tDEEspItsVs
Tn the trial of Herbert c. and William
Harding. the two young men charged
with conspiring to defraud the U. S. Ex-
press Company, which occupied the at
tention of Judge Hudspeth and a jury
in the Court of Sessions all day yester-
day, the principal witness was Clarence
Warbeck, who was also one of the
conspirators, but who pleaded guilty and
turned States evidence. Warbeck de-
tailed at great length how they had
worked, and mentioned numerous in
stances where Herbert Harding had
shipped stolen packages to him SO thar
he (Warbeck) might sell them. In this
way he received about fifty bicycles.
One of the bicycles was shipped to him
at the Danforth avenue station in
Greenville. He unpacked it there,
mounted it and rode to Harding's house.
Several days later he rode it to Grey
court, N. Y, and there sold it for $40,
sending half of the proceeds to Herbert
Harding. Worbeek wore a smile ali dur
ing his examination and seemed to think
that it was all a very good joke.
Another witness for the prosecution
was David NJ. Carvalto. the famous ex-
pert on handwriting. The two fraudu-
lent waybills which figure in the case
We're shown him. and a specimen OF
Harding's wiring. After scrutinizing
them for a few moments Mr.. Carvalto
said that there was no doubt tina the
same person had written all three speci-
mems. The sample of Harding's writing
was written with an indelible pencil,
while the waybills were in nix, but Mr..
Carvalto said that it did not interfere
with the comparison. There was some
attempt to disguise the handwriting on
one of the waybills.
When the trial resumed this morning
Senator Daily caused something of a sur
prise by offering to discontinue the trial.
He said x-at after due reflection and
upon consulting with his clients he had
concluded that the jury should find a
verdict of guilty against Herbert c.
Harding and not guilty in William Hard
ing'S case.
Assistant Prosecutor Noonan said that
such a verdict would be acceptable tc
the prosecution. as he had no evidence
against William Harding. Judge Hud-
speth instr, ucted the jury SO to find and
the trial was concluded.

REMARKABLE INCREASE
Glowing Reports at the Con-
vention Yesterday Of the
N. j. State Council
C. B. [.
erecial to the Jcrseu Catu Meas.


WOODBRIDGE, Oct. 9, 1895.-The
thirteenth annual convention of the New
Jersey State Council of the Catholic
Benevolent Legion was held here yester-
day. When the visitors arrived the rain
was falling in torrents, but the c. B..
L. Fife and Drum Corps of Woodbridge
did not give the delegates any chance
to get wet, for they quickly formed in
line and marched to the hall, which, by
the way, is owned by the local council.
At Ills A. NJ. President Rowe called
the convention to order, and the Rev.
Father Hammer of Newark opened the
proceedings with prayer. The roll OF
councils followed, and out of a total or
eighty-one councils over sixty were rep
resented.
President Rowe appointed the various
committees on routine business, and af-
ter hearing some reports a recess was
taken for dinner. BY this time the sun
had forced his way from behind the
clouds, and ancient Woodbridge seemed a
different place. The old town seems as
far out of civilization as if it were aoeat-
ed in some verdant valley in the far
West, though it is only twenty miles from
the Metropolis, and was founded $50 1t
is claimed) some six months before New
ark was thought of. With the assistance
of the sun and a good dinner the dele
gates once more repaired to the hall for
business.
REPORTS READ AND DISPOSED OF.
After recess various reports We're
read and disposed of, and then
came the most interesting feature of the
day: the delegates reports of the stand
ing of their councils, their increase and
losses and general information relative
to subordinate councils. Summed up it
showed an increase of over 60 per cent,
and a total membership of over 1000
members in the State. The last report
was made by the Rev. Father Ward of
organ City, coqncil Washington n 4goo W. Inc Id
in the course of his remarks. showed
himself to be a very witty speaker ana

Pence from the State Council, which is
to be ACCOMPANIED with a resolution OF
sympathy for Pope Leo XIII. in his pres
ent confinement and as a protest against
the recent Italian fetes.
OFFICERS ELECTED.
The following officers were elected for

In the evening, after the installation OF

We're held, and it is safe to say tina the

membered in Woodbridge, :.
The next convention will be held IN

HETTY GREEN'S WRONGS.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9, 1S95.-Mrs. Het-
ty Green, the millionaire, is in Washing
ton on business.
IT haven't been to Washington before"
said Mrs. Green, .'in many years, but it's
worth the trip to see this handsome
city. My business is connected with
some land litigation, growing out Of a
purchase I made many years ago from
the government. Isn't it a shame for a
woman to be mixed up with law suits.
But it is not my fault. All the money
I've made was acquired h~onorably in
legitimate transactions. They tried to
hut didn't succeed. Probably 1 am a
