charge of having cut a quantity of lead
town, was sent to the County Jail for
sixty days. The house was owned by
Michael H. Hannah. Armstrong told
Judge Hudspeth that it was his first Of
fence.
I'm tired of having young men come
here on his charge" remarked Judge
Hudspeth impatiently. They go into
empty houses and cut the lead pipe, doing
hundreds of dollars worth of damage, just
to get a few pennies. They seem to think
it's funny. Some of them ought TO be
taught a good lesson. / am informed that
you have been suspected of doing this
thing before"
No, SIR replied Armstrong, this is
What did you 90 it for anyway" asked
Judge Hudspeth.

And to make sinkers you destroyed
the plumbing in the house by tearing OUT

from one of the Hoboken steamers, was
called up next. He is employed by the

fora ~ StlttHbaN. CHAb
The suit of John M. Hoban to recover
$50, 900 from the Sanford & Stillman Con-
tracing Company, bridge and dock build
ers, which had been on trial for three
days in the Supreme Court, before JUS
tice Lippincott n a jury, ended yester-
day evening with a verdict for the plain
tiff of S23, $50.
on April 6 at Berry's Creek, near the
Hackensack River where they we're
a guy rope, which controlled heavy tim
bers while they were being hoisted and
lowered on the foundation piles. Hoban
had been at work only a few hours when
the hoisting rope and one of the timbers
fell. One of his fellow-workmen was
killed. Hoban's right leg and left foot
were crushed. He was taken to st. Fran
els Hospital, where his right leg was am
putated just below the knee. An incur
able running sore afflicts his left foot.
It was claimed that the accident was
caused by a defective rope, and that the
pulleys were not strong enough to sup
port the weight of the timber. The de-
tense contended that the accident was I'M
a~voidable. The verdict will be appealed.
Warren Dixon appeared for the plaintiff
and Charles G. Black for the defendant.

JERSEY CITY HONORBD.
w. X. Van Reypen Made Sur
geon-GeneFal Of the Navy
by President Mckinley.

William K. Van Reypen, son of Mr..
Cornelius C. Van Reypen, Of No. 21
Academy street, this city, was yesterday
appointed by President Mckinley to the
high post of Surgeon-General of the Navy
to succeed the late DR.. Newton L. Bates.
The promotion carries with it the relative
rank of commodore.
The appointment caused a big surprise
among medical officers, because no one
dreamed that Mr.. Van Reypen, who was
post. He has been a member of the
since July ID. 1884. He entered the Navy
from New York in October, 1861.
When the term of Medical Director
James Rufus Tryon as urgeon-Genelal
expired last month a great ueal or lnfu-
ence was brought to bear on the President
and Secretary Long to secure ms reap
pointment for another term OF four years,
The President, however. had already
promised the place TO Medical Director
Bates, second in seniority in the Naval
Medical Corps and the physician to the
when he received his commission on Oc-
tober l. When he died on Monday last
without having assumed the duties of his
office, it was the general belief in naval
circles that DR.. Tyron would be reinstated.
DR.. Van Reypen did not want TO become a
candidate against DIR. Tyron. II 1t IS
understood that he old not make applca-
ton until DR.. Tyron urged him to do SO.
The new Surgeon Genera has a splendid
record, and is much thought OF in the
Navy. His father belongs to the old Hol-
a families, who, like the Brinkerhoffs
and others, owned between them what is
now the Bergen section of the city. He
was born in Jersey City but left shortly
after the war. During the past few years
he has been Chairman of the House Com
mittee of the Metropolitan Club in Wash
ington, a post occupied formerly by Sec.
reuary Sherman and other dignitaries of
the Capitol, and a rendezvous for any
body who counts at all in that centre OF
oficialdom. The appointment will give
much pleasure to the very many old
friends of the Surgeon General in Jersey
City.
