TO BE PUT In JAIL.
Boy Pleads With Mother to Have
Him Incarc Grated.
Says That Big Boys In the Newark
Schools Have Threatened Him.

Newark, y. j., June "a 2L-Nine-year- old
William Robinson, of No. Al Camp street
pleaded with his mother yesterday to put
him IN Jail or some other safe place TO
protect his life. His plea was prompted
by fear induced by the threats OF his play
mates and fellow pupils IN the Chestnut
street public school.
Willie claims that the big BOYS In the
school have made threats against his life
because he volunteered To pick out of their
mum ber one whom he claimed 10 have
seen strike his chuID. Roy Hotf. on the
same day on which the latter was seized
with spinal mening It's from which he
died recently.
IL was week or ten days ago that seven
year-old Roy Hon was taken quite sick.
Day by day his condition became more
and more alarming until last Friday,
when he died. lt was then that his COM
panion, Willie Robinson, claimed that one
Of the larger boys in the school had en-
gagged Roy Hoif in fight on the day on
which ho was taken sick, ana that he
had seen him knocked down.
When this became known IL created
CONSERVATION among the older pupils In
the school. Willie Robinson received word
from some of them that ii he acted the
part OF a toll-tole, oven in connection Win
the death Of his ohum, they would give
Niln soHHb uchtihb. i HNso thlcaNH biN"
in volume, until he was so badly fright
ened that he ran 90 his mother. begging
her 20 have him put In Jail where they
could not reach him. Mrs. Robinson did
all that she could TO allay her son 5
fears, and assured him that .he would not
DO harmed. Notwithstanding this, he Is
still i'm a state of alarm. The authorities
discredit the idea that little Roy Hon $
death was the result OF any other than
natural causes and say that, If Willie
Robinson really does know the name of
one OF tho larger boys who did Roy Hotf
bodily harm, he has not disclosed IL to
them.
Willie sticks to his story and says his
ohum was assaulted very near the school
on the afternoon OF the same day on
which he was taken sick. The teachers Of
the different grades have offered 10 have
the BOYS placed in line and give Willie an
opportunity TO point out the one whom he
charges with having Knocked down the
Hon boy. But SO far the offer has not
Eeen accepted. Willie Robinson says If he
did this his life would be In even greater
danger than he thinks IL now Is.

Judgment Withheld.

In the case of Charles Ritt VS. William
X. Dodge, Newport case. the following
opinion has beon handed down by the
Appellate Court: "As the court unuer.
stands the agreed statement uf facts. the
entire title claimed by the plaintiff H.
based on tho mortgage giyon bv John
SiDnOtt and Mary Sinnutt. his wife, TO
Edward G. Shaolur dated D0e. 2N lSsa.
Al that time the title 60 tho property was
In the hoirs OF Thomas j. Lynch, and
the only interest of Mrs. Sinnott was an
unassigned right OF dover. A dowress
can convey her dover interest before
dover has hcen set apart od 90 the torre
tenants only. Tho mortgage therefore
conveyed no title whatever To tho prem.
isos
As the mortgage was rot conveyance
OF the property OF "a married woman, n
" not within the provision Of the statute
relating 90 the covenants Of married
woman as 90 her own property then in
force and hence she Is neither bound nor
estopped by them.
IDo court is. therefore, unable to sec
that the plaintiff has any title AS.
however the agreed staiemont of fncts is
not entirely clear the court will withhold
Its Judgment until satisfied that the facts
as above stated are correct

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
Miss Pr0vencher and Mr.. Mil Break
all Records.
In Less Than Twenty Eight Minutes
After They Met They Were Wed.

New York, June "a. The love-at-flrst-
ern District of Brooklyn.
Within twenty. seven minutes and three
seconds after Virginia Provencher. of
Lowell. Mass. met Otto Mil, of Brooklyn,
Referee j. q. Ditmars, pastor Of the Hope
Baptist church, had decided the bout in
her favor ana sent them away man and
wife.
1t was on Wednesday, June 2, that
Virginia whose tongue betrays her French
origin, came from Lowell TO Williamsburg
seeking work. The silk mill in which she
had been weaver had shut down and she
came on tho first boat for New York
While she was walking along keap street
in Williamsburg rain storm began, and
In search of shelter she ran into the barber
shop of Otto Mil on Union avenue, near
Scholes street.
In the record time which has already
been given Virginia and Otto found that
they had always been intended for one
another and that there was an affinity
which they could not afford to ignore
The question was easily asked and blush
iBeiy answered, and yesterday Virginia
was found at "a tub with sleeves rolled up
her black hair tossing about in picturesque
confusion. busily engaged In cleaning her
nav found husbands linen.
Mrs. Ill Is n rather attractive woman,
TWEEN two years old, while her husband is
thirty nine. They are now living at No.
IL Scohles street. Mrs Nill's descent Is
rather remarkable. Her father was a
Frenchman, who became missionary and
began To preach in the Indian school In
Pennsylvania While there he became fas.
cinated with an attractive Indian squaw,
and married her. Virginia was their only
child. Both Of her parents are now dead.

PROVIDENCE HIGH SCHOOL.
Closing Exercis Of he r. II. S. d. S.
Sp eches by Retiring Members.

The last meeting of the provldenceHigh
School Debating Society was held in the
lecture room at the high school building
last evening. There was IA very good
attendance, every class being well repre-
sented Probably the reason was that
there was an instructive feeling that be
cause 10 was tho last meeting of the
society there would DO more or less of a
demonstration after tho meeting had nd
sourned. The polls were open until q
quester past eight ana at that time Mr..
Myers announced the election as follows !:
President. Aldrich; Vice President,
Bradley, Secretary and Treasurer, White,
Chairman of the Question COMMITTEES, Il.
Clarke; Chairman of the Membership
Committee, Mr.. w. Is johnson.
Tho debate for the evening was on the
question. Resolved, That the city should
provide mn athletic field for rho Provi-
dence high school. Messrs. White and
Chase defended the affirmative and
Messrs Frost and Gardner the negative.
Possibly II was owing principally To the
fact that 10 was the last night possibly for
other reasons. but the debate did not
possess that spirit and earnestness by
which it has been in general characterized
during the past year. The judges brought
In decision for the negative and the
samo decision was rendered by the house
IL was moved and seconded that the
society bo favored with speech by Mr..
Norman "A. Moss member OF the class
of '96 classical. now at Brown, n former
memb ber OF the society. Mr. Moss responded
with few words touching mainly upon
the necessity of ombining good ORDER and
discipline with the parliamentary atti-
tude OF the society. A vote OF thanks was
extended to Mr. Moss by the society.
Speeches were mnde by the mem bers OF
the graduating class as has been the Gus
tom for many years previous Some of
them were very interesting and all ex-
pressed a regret that this was the last
time that they should ever address the
society rs members.
Adjournment WAS voted ut 9:a0 and the
society was then fortunate or unfortunate
enough 20 meet one man with cane. BY
general instinct there was a rush md
after some contest the class Of 81 came
off with the cane. The society then pro-
cceded in body to tho houses of two of
the teachers and from thence tn the resi-
Gonce of the PRESIDENT where several
songs were sung and it was at late hour
that the noisy youth nnally dispersed
TO their homes.
Tho annual entertainment will take
place in the hall tomorrow ,vening. Con
Siderable outside talent has boon engaged
and good program tis guaranteed, All
are invited.

STREET CAR STATION.
No Action Taken by Committee on
Railroads Today.
Proposed to Have City Build a Commodi-
Gus Structure.

The City Council committee on water
met at noon today and voted to locate
another ice water fountain in the Italian
section on Spruce street
No action was taken on the resolution
directing the Union Railroad Company
To remove its depot, which was referred
to this committee Monday night
The reference at the time was taken by
some of the oouncilmen as "a joke, but the
committee considers the matter seriously.
1t is argued that when the old depot Is
removed and the bridge work completed a
new depot building should be put up and
road company.
The advantage claimed for this Is that
the waiting rUUTn would be bettor taken
care of and that public urnals and drink
ing fountains could be maintained as they
should De as regular depot conveniences
