His Daughter. Mrs. BeiIoni. Asks to Have
= Mortgage Cancelled.

Mrs. Kate b. Belloni, wife OF Louis @. Belloni
Jr., and daughter OF tho late F. c. Havemeyer.
has brought suit In tho Supreme Court against
Henry o. and Theodore Havemeyer. executors
OF her fathers estate, to have certain mort
cages given by her to her father cancelled. The
total amount called for by the mortgages, in-
GLIDING interest. is about $4,000.
Ihis suit, according TO the lawyers on both
sides, Is Of an enurely friendly character. Years
ago Mrs. ,Belloni gave the mortgages to her
father. who p omtsed to cancel them. This he
failed 10 do and at tho time OF his death they
were recorded by his executors. The money
surety company. and the executors, say the
lawyer, are willing to turn 1t over to Mrs.
BellOni. but they wish 10 have the authority OF
tn" court before so doing. Therefor. Mrs. Bel
loni. through her counsel, Reeves. Todd IL
swain, has brought this suit. A referee was
asked for ana Hamilton OGell was appointed
by the Court To hear the case.

For rather exciting occurrence of the
22d of last September, Buddy Johnson. a
colored youth, was today sent to the work
house for thirty days in each Of two cases,
by Judge Kimball, in the Police Court. De-
stroying private property and throwing
missiles were the charges.
The complaining witness was George
Browning, who Is in charge of the crossing
OF the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at New
York and Florida avenues. Mr.. Browning
testified that on the day mentioned John
son drove beneath the safety gates at
the crossing, they being lowered because a
train was approaching, and broke the gates
Browning called to Johnson to STOP but he
failed to do so, and when the Waterman set
forth IN pursuit, 1t was stated, johnson
hurled stones at him, striking him, and
also smashing glass at the signal box.
johnson denied the accusation, laying the
blame on Browning. but Judge Mills con-
cluded that the former was Responsible for
the trouble.
