N DEFENDANT.
Peter Morris and Lady Did Up Mary
Rurus-Lfyel Work in Court.

49,
Justice Nevin was two hours trying an
assault and battery case in the First
| Criminal Court this morning owing to the
| drunken condition of Peter Morris, one
| of the defendants in the case. Morris and
his wife Annie were arrested by Patrol
man Oxley last night on a warrant Sc
cured by Mary Burns. who lives IN the
same tenement with the Morris family at
| No. IA Morris street.
The assault alleged by Mrs. Burns oc-
| Cured on November 5. Morris, who nae
| been bailed out as soon as arrested, was
| drunk when arraigned for trial this morn
ing. He could hardly stand VI at the bar.
When Mrs. Burns began to testify he IN
| t~errupted her with: THAT woman is a
- liar"
Keep still,' Numbered Justice Neyin.
Morris would not keep still despite the
efforts of his counsel, Lawyer Donelan'
to make him behave and the Court finally
ordered him back to the prisoners pen.
| The prisoner refused to go and showed
fight. 1t required the united efforts OF
| Detectives Douglass and Benne to sub
| due him. Mrs. Burn testified that Morris
and his wife seized her and attempted
to drag her into their rooms. They tore
her wrapper into pieces and poured a
kettle of hot water over her. They also
tore out a handful of her hair, which
| with the torn wrapper was produced as
| evidence.
When it became necessary to have MOT
| ris in court again two policemen were de-
tailed to take care of him. Whenever he
| essayed to speak, which he did frequently,
! a hand was clapped over his mouth anc
nothing but a gurgling sound was emitted.
He was found guilty and ordered to

JERSEY 0ITY's TOUGH GIRL.
Complains That tho Oficer Neglected
10 Arroat Other Girls.

Jersey City's tough girl was a prisoner
in the Second Criminal Court this morn
ing before Justice Neyin. She is Mamie
Carey. Ten months ago she vas turned
out of her home by her father, who is a
widower. She got into bad ompan and
became notorious. He had her arrested,
and she went to the County Jail for thirty
days. Since then she has been arrested
three times, and has done two short terms
at Snake Hill. Ten months have wrought
a great change in her appearance. When
she was first arraigned in the police court
she was slender and had fairly good fea-
lures. This morning she hardly looked
the same girl. She has lost her figure,
and no longer looks the girl she is-sne
is only sixteen years old-whil her face
is bloated and repulsive TO look upon. She
has been going from bad to worse ever
since her father first had her arrested,
and in open court branded her as a tough
girl.
She was arrested Saturday night by Pa
trolman Smell for being trunk and solicit
ing men at Hudson and York streets. She
had been hanging about that corner for
nearly a week, and had frequently been
warned away by the police, who know
her history and do not like to arrest her If
they can possibly help it. When arralgned
before Justice Nevin this morning Mamie
said:-
what did the officer wan to arrest me
for? He never pulls in Name Cary, Mag
gle Killarney or Big Name McGarry., |
don't see VIA he wants to swear on the
Bible and then tell lies for. L always ten
the truth when i come to court.
Justice Nevin sentenced her to ninety
DAYS at Snake Hill. AS she went back
to. the prisoners pen the tough girl gave
a hystericaI laugh and swore at PATROL
man Smell. While the other prisoners
were being dealt with she voluntarily act
ed as doorkeeper-from the inside-and
ushered each delinquent out with a pro
fond bow and one of her own peculiarly

COMPANY PROTESTS TO THE MAYOR
Orders Given for the Work at
Monmouth and Thirteenth
Streets to Proceed.

Mayor Hoos, Corporation Council Blair.
President Boltwood of the Street and Wa
ter Board and J. S. Allen, representing
the Erie Railroad Company, had a con-
sultation this morning respecting the
trouble over the Erie Railroad crossing at
Monmouth and Thirteenth streets. an ac-
count of which appeared in 1.-THE News"
on Saturday.
The police had interfered with the work
of shifting the tracks from Monmouth
street further west, in accordance with
the plan for the elevation of the Fries
may locate it's freight yard just west of
Monmouth street. Police Captain Kelly
had got it into his head that the company
was felolniously contemplating crossing
every street on his bailiwick, and he or
dered out his reserves and stopped work
of any description.
At this mornings conference, Mr.. Allen
pointed out to the Mayor that the work
now being done by the Erie Company was
precisely was agreed upon in the
contract between the city and the railroad
for the elevation of the tracks, and If the
men were not allowed to put in the new
switch across Seventeenth street to con-
meet the old track and the new before
removing the abandoned portion of the
former, the road could not operate at that
place. The police, he thought, were I'M
necessarily interfering with the company
which was simply carrying out What it
promised to do.
81 ~telephoned the inspector of police"
said the Mayor, sto allow your people to
go on with your work on Saturday, and I
don't understand why the men are still
there"
"It seems to me-" exclaimed President
Boltwood, that some person has been
carrying ridiculous stories to the police
about stealing streets, and they rushed off
without making proper inquiries. Inc
company is within its rights, and | cannot
understand why its work was toppe
If any eneroachment of streets is contem-
plated or attempted our Board will take
care of it,"
Mayor Hoos t%elephoned again to Inspec-
tor Lange, requesting him to call the men
off and theE RE Railroad official left the
office happy. The work viii be resumed
this morning. AS soon as the track across
Monmouth street and Seventeenth street
is finished the present track on Non
street vacated by the mpan To the
west of the street and on the meadow
land lying between Monmouth street and
the tracks of the N. J. Traction Company,
the Erie people will lay three tracks to
form a local freight yard, thus doing
street and Jersey avenue. The meadow
lane on which the freight yard is to be
made is of course the property of the
company.

CHEAPER TO HAVE FIRBMBF.
HOboken's Charity Fund Exhausted
by Supplyfng CONFEDERATION VietfmE

Patrick O'Hare. So years old, of No. 1872
Sixteenth street, was lighting a lamp in
his apartments at eight o'clock last night
when it exploded, burning him badly
about the face and arms, and setting fire
to the furniture. The blaze was easily ex-
tinguished. He was taken to st. Francis
Hospital.
Poormaster Harry Barck of Hoboken,
was kept busy all day Saturday and
yesterday looking after the twenty fam
lilies who were rendered homeless by the
Newark street fire on Friday night. The
sufferers number ninety persons. All had
been provided with rooms this morning
and were furnished with a sufficient sup
ply of food and clothing. Some of the
families hat had gon to live with friends
and could not be found by the Poormaster
called at Police Headquarters last night
and were given orders on the local store
keepers for their wants.
Poormaster Barck has ordered a supply
of furniture which will be distributed
among the fire sufferers today. A little
confusion was caused by persons claiming
aims who were not tenants of the burned
buildings. They were soon found out, how
ever, and their cases investigated. The
investigation revealed the fact that many
of the applicants were shiftless characters
who bought rum with every cent they
could get, and then applied to the city for
support. PoOrmasterf Barck gave them
food enough to keep them from starving,
but declined to supply them with furni-
ture or clothing
The large number of disastrous fires
which have occurred in the city during
the past year nave almost exhausted the
poor fund and 1t is probable that the
Common Council will take some action at
its next meeting to provide for an extra
appropriation.
