Bullet Proof Devices Ia Plenty.

The invention of bullet proof shields. is enlarging, and the patent office will soon, if it goes on at the present rate be com pelled to establish special subdepartment for the exposition of devices in this direc. tion. A point is laid down by a New York engineer, which is that the outer surface of such material should be of soft, yielding material. This breaks the blow, and then tho resisting material is apt to ward off effectually tho force of the projec- tile If the outer surface is hard and un- yielding, the blow is sometimes so great as to overpower the recipient of the shock, and instances arc on record that mon on the battlefield have actually been killed by this shock. The whole subject is an intri- cate one, and the progress made in 1t is not such as to deter the inventor from thinking out new devices. .-Hardware There is no month in the year in which wheat harvest is not going on in some quarter of the globe

Mastropietro's Son-in-L Law Ar
rested for Conspiracy to
Cheat Poor Italians.

This afternoon Detective John. P. Fee
ney arrested Vincenzo Palango, son-in-
law of the swindl!ng italian banker,
Michele Mastropietro, on a charge of
conspiracy to defraud creditors of the
bank. Mastropietro was convicted last
week of ennbezzling monies deposited
with him. During the course of the in
vestigation as to the bankers affairs
after his flight to Canada, Counsellors j..
y. Mulvaney and Dixon discovered that
the banker had given a mortgage on his
property in Fourth street to his son-in-
law, Palango, for monies alleged to have
been loaned to him. A suit was begun
ii Chancery to set that mortgage aside,
and two days ago Chancellor Pit
ney declared the deed fraudulent
Pa1ango had charge of the bank ledgers,
which were doctored up in great shape
to show that he loaned his father-in-law
thousands of dollars.
STUPID ERASURES.
The figures were SO stupidly and clum-
silly inserted that fraud was at once ap-
parent. Then when the Assistant Prose-
cutor examined the book with a strong
glass he discovered erasures and other
evidences of fraud. Immediately ne
declared the deed fraudulent, he instruct
ed Mr.. Feeney to make complaint be
fore Justice of the Peace Macs against
Palango, this precious son-in-iaw. A
warrant was issued. and Mr.. Feeney
pounced on his man this afternoon.
Justice of the Peace and placed under

IT IS JOHN R. EMERY.
Chancellor MeGill Chooses the
Successor to the Late Vice
Chancellor Van Fleet.

Chancellor McGill has selected John
r. Emery as the successor to the late

The Chancellor made the announcement
this morning. Mr.. Emery has not yet

much prominence through his connection
with the famous Junction Railroad case.
He has been connected with the bar of
this State for a great many years, and
had his first practice in Trenton, where
he was in partnership with A. g. Richey.
BUILT UP A BIG PRACTICE.
About fifteen years ago he came to
Newark, where he built up an extensive
practice as an associate lawyer. He was
a warm personal friend of the late Vice
Chancellor Van Fleet. Counsellor Emery
is considered as one of the leading lead
ers in equity practice IN the State, and
his appointment meets with the hearty
appreciation of the bar. In politics Mr..
Emery is a Republican. He has never
held public office.

Albeit. waxed hot last night The Gov
ernor was besieged by delegations in
favor of the various candidates, who
pulled and hauled him this way and
that until he wished he had never been
born.
The funniest part OF the whole pro-
ceeding was when Francis Murphy walk
ed in and solemnly urged the claims of
"Chan" Riker Mayor Leb1uecher's Cor
poration Counsel. for the position. That
almost gave the Governor a fit, and all
the windows in the Executive sanctum
had to be raised before he recovered
sufficiently to receive Senator Daily,
Alec Mclean and several other Hudson
men who appeared in behalf of Gilbert
Collins. Neither ex-Judge Lanning nor
William Gummere's cause was permitted
to suffer for want of advocates Large
delegations went into the Governor with
the old. old story of the superior quail
fications of each of the candidates.

as you know, could have had the posi-
ton, but he refused, and recommended
a candidate
who is it?"
''Oh that L cannot tell.''
When asked what he thought of Mr.
Collins, the Governor, in that non-com-
initial way he has. said, 81 have the
highest opinion of Mr.. Collins ability
The impression is growing that lIr
Collins will secure the prize. He him
self is making no undignifed canvass for
the position like some of the other cam
didates, but he's understood to have said
that he will take the position If it Is
rendered to him.
Senator DAILY and the Hudson Assem-
blyrnen when they saw the Governor this
morning urged the appointment of Gil
bert Collins, saying that so long as the
new judge had to be a Republican they
considered Mr. Collins the best man
for the position yet named. Mr.. DAILY
says that from the way the Governor
spoke he feels confident Mr.. Collins Will
be appointed.

den death of Naval Contractor Samuel
W. Armistead at the Mare Island Navy
Yard, form injuries received from
swapping hawser when the new cruiser
Olympia was being delivered to the Gov
ernment, calls attention to a series of
coinstances which must have great eff
feet upon superstitious persons. The
Navy Department has invariably, during
the last twenty years selected the two
highest graduates from each class at the
Naval Academy and given them supple
mentary education aboard to fit them
more effectively for construction duty
In each case one of the men SO selected
has met death soon after entering active
service. Constructors Bowles and Gate
wood were the first men SO sent abroad.
The next pair were Nixon and Shock,
who were followed by Taylor and Armi-
stead, Sapps and Hughes, Sankson and
Street, and Tawresey and Van Sandt.
The first man only of each couple still
survives, Gatewood, Shock, Hughes, Van
Sandt, Street and Armistead dying OF
duty Street died at Mare Island month
ago within a few weeks after being or
dered to duty there, and his successor
has now just competed the remarkable
list of fatalities.
The survivors, with the exception of
Nixon, who resigned to enter the Cramps
establishment, are now active construc-

FIGHqING TAX CASES.
Motion to Be Advanced New
York Suits in the Su-
preme Court.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 49, 1s95-The
brief by counsel in support of the mo-
ton made by ex-Attorney General BrisS
tow yesterday to advance the New York
income tax cases in the Supreme Court,
presented the following points,
l. The bill presents proper case for
equity interposition. A court of equity
has jurisdiction at the instance of a
stockholder in corporation to restrain
threatened breach of trust on the part
of the directors involuntarily paying, and
not resisting the collection of an uncon-
stitutional tax. The constitutional ques-
ton is necessarily involved in the decis-
ion Of these cases. Numerous decisions
are cited, in one of which, Shelton VS..
Pratt, Q39 U. S., 59D. Mr.. Chief JUS
tice Fuller stated the following directly
in point
CHIEF JUSTICES VIEWS.
1.-The ground upon which Dodge VS..
.Woolsey proceeded was that stockhold-
er had a remedy in Chancery against the
directors of his corporation to restrain
them from doing acts which would
amount to a violation of the charter, or
to prevent any misapphcation of their
capital or profits, which might lessen the
value OF the shares II the acts intenqed
to be done amounted to q breach of trust.
or duty, and that the refusal of the d.
rectors to resist the collection of a tax
which they themselves believed to have
been imposed upon them in violation of
their charter. was IN legal effect
= ACT sHoULD BE CONTESTED.
2. In addition to the element Of breach
of trust on the part of directors. there is
also presented In the cases at bear. says
the brief, the certainty that SO. long as
the various questions presented remain
undecided by the Supreme Court of the
United States, the failure to contest the
act wSll involve multiplicity Of suits with
the shareholders Of the trust companies
as well as with the benefciaries for
whom 1t is acting as trustee. etc.
VIOLATES THE CONSTITUTION.
g. The uneonstitutionality of the law Is
asserted upon several grounds: First,
in that 1T imposes direct tax with re-
spect Of real estate, rents, issues and
profits, as well as of income and profits,
of personal property, which,, not being
apporitioned, Is in violation of section 2,
article I, Of the Constitution.
Second, in that its provisions are not
uniform throughout the United States,
and provides for exemptions and ire
qualities in violation of section 8, article
x Third, in that it asks for exemption
of the tax upon income derived from the
stocks and bonds of states, counties and
municipalities, which amount to $65, 900
900 annually, and which is not a proper
subject for the taxing power of Congress.
