A LIQUOR NUISANCE.
Silverstein Found Guilty OF Main
tanning One.
Two Other Hebr ws Waived Examine
ton Criminal Cases.

The Sixth District Court was the OBJ
jective point of a large number of
Hebrews this morning, who were inter-
ested in the trial of four of their fellow
countrymen charged with maintaining
common liquor nuisances
There was but one "a them tried,
however because two waived examina-
tion, and the other had his case con-
tinued another week.
: The one tried waS Samuel Silver
stein, who owns a grocery store at 442
North Main street and the place where
the nuisance Is said to exist.
The witnesses for the prosecution
were mostly Second station officers, and
their testimony was to the effect that
they had seen men lettering about the
place in q drunken condition and
finding liquor there on Sunday night
last, when they entered the place.
The defence denied the charges Of
men lettering about the place who did
not belong there, as the house Is q large
one, containing many tenements.
Silverstein said that the liquor found
there Sunday night had been purchased
by his wife for preserving huckleber-
ries.
The owner of the building said ne
never knew Of liquor being sold by
Sllyer6tein on the premises.
The court adjudged the defendant
probably guilty and held him for the
grand jury In $1,000 bail, which he Sc
cured and was released.
Morris Cohen and FarIeins Cohen,
charged with a similar offence, waived
examination and were held for the
grand jury in $1,000. They secured bail.
The trial Of Emily Webster for an
assault on Amanda Hardenbrook of "a
Superior street resulted I'm the acquittal
OF the defendant upon the testimony of
a disinterested witness named Strong,
who said he saw the Harderfbrook wo-
man hit Mrs. Webster, but did not see
the latter hit the form,t'. as the war
rant alleged. Judge Johnson of the
Eighth District Court appeared for Mrs.
Webster
James Coyle was found probably
guilty OF stealing a 81 bill from the per-
son Of Robert Conley in a saloon on
Dorrance street Saturday night last.
The testimony was to the effect that
Coyle snatched the bill from the hand
OF Conley. who was about to give IL to
Gardiner in the saloon named, and had
then dashed out OF the door, but was
overhauled by a policeman at Market
square, when he tried to throw his i'll
gotten gains into the street. He was
held for the action of the grand jury
In the sum OF $500.
William Hugh. a common drunkard,
was sentenced TO the state workhouse
for six months upon pleading guilty.

Driver Hurried OF Without Giving

WITNESSES WERE MUcHExcITED

There was more indignation exhibited
on Randall square shortly after 8
o'clock this forenoon than there has
been in a long time. and the reason was
the curlike action of a man who ran
over two small children, and then, with
out waiting to see the extent OF the in
juries he had inflicted, drove rapidly
away.
Lizzie Davis. a child years old, her
sister and a girl named Gray were re-
turning from doing an errand and had
reached the centre OF the square, when
they turned TO get out of the way of
a low gear. A man who had been driv-
ing as fast and recklessly as IL on a
clear race track came along and
knocked down two OF the three children.
Lizzie was the most severely injured.
One Of the wheels of the vehicle went
over her leg and cut ii so that the blood
ran on to the street She was taken to
her home. just beyond the bridge. on
Randall street, and, though an hour
after the accident she could not put her
foot to the ground. 1t is believed that
fortunately her injury will not prove
permanent. The clothing of Lizzie's
sister showed plainly the marks OF one

ELABORATE
DECORATIONS

The decorations on the big buildings
along the water front were confined
principally to the American flag, which
hung from every window. The ships
were more. elaborately trimmed with
"Old Glory" and the flags Of all nations,
pennants, streamers and bunting were
hung from stem to stern. The feeling
of hospitality and patriotic interest in
the noble ships and brave men which
first prompted the suggestion of for
NAL welcome was crystalized into a
message sent to the navy department at
Washington by Gov. wolcott. The sug-
gestion met with a hearty response
from Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Allen, to whose cooperation, probably,
the presence OF the battleship Massa-
chusetts was due. The vessels ordered
to Boston were instructed to rendez-
vous at Provincetown and proceed up
the harbor in squadron formation.
When IL was learned that the fleet
would rally at Provincetown, Gov. VOL
colt dispatched Gen. Carter of his off,
cial staff to meet the commanders there
and make all necessary arrangements
to properly receive the officers, and also
to give the people OF the commonwealth
an opportunity to participate I'm the
event. unt,
The arrangements were somewhat de-
layed by the fact that. while Gen. Car
ter reached Provincetown Wednesday.
Capt. Higginson, the senior officer of
the fleet. did not join his ship until yes
terday noon. But late last evening Gov.
Wolcott was informed that all of his
suggestions had been accepted and an
elaborate program laid out, which in
cluded not only the parade of the ships
today. but a reception to the officers
and men on shore, a dinner as guests Of

Married On The Train.

w. ID. Howe, who has lately been on
q trip east, said the passengers on the
west bound Texas and Pacific were
treated to a peculiar marriage the
other day at Big Springs.
when we reached Strawn, Texas, a
nice looking young waman got on the
train and went as far as Big Springs.
On reaching that point young man
got on the train, and in rather ner-
vous way went through the cars. He
met the young woman, and the two
went to the front platform of
the Pullman sleeper Leipsic. A par
son was waiting there to perform the
ceremony of marriage. Of course those
of US that were there were witnesses to
the ceremony.
"After the marriage had taken place
the couple stayed on the train until it
got to Midland, Texas, and there they
got off.
zone of the amusing parts of the
whole affair was that after they were
married and still on the train the Pull
man car conductor, Hartman, said some
congratulate the couple. As no one
had the nerve to 60 he said he was 60
ing himself. Some one of the
party offered the dare and
go he did He went in and
spoke to the groom saying, guess that
congratulations are now in order, let
me offer you mine. as l am conductor,
and you were married on this train.
But the fellow said, We were married
on the sleeper SO Conductor Hartman
, said, We'll, am in charge of the Pull
man. The man then extended his
hand and received his first congratula-
tions.
1.-THE train porter Harris
said the man who was
married had been walking up and
down the depot platform for the last
two hours and wouldn't get ten feet
away from the track, for fear the train
would get there and get out without
him.
After the ceremony was performed
the whole crowd in the Pullman was
happy and felt good the balance of the
trip, and the main topic of converse
ton was the unusual marriage"

The Grave Yard Problem.

The dead of London require an an
nual waste of % acres OF valuable
ground. If 1000 corpses are crowded
into the space of one acre, the limit in
the case of the most populated grave
yard, and il we accept the present rate
of mortality, 20 per 1000 Inhabitants.
as the standard, New York, with a
population of $500. 600. would have to
provide room for 10000 corpses, and
would require annually III acres to
bury them in. Unless the custom Is
changed the available room in the
vicinity of all large cities will gradual
ly be absorbed by remains of the
dead.
In considering the welfare of indi-
viduals, the expenditures of one may
benefit another, but citizens should be
treated on equal terms. With the ex-
ception of Greenwood, almost all ce-
meteries used in the neighborhoOd Of
New York are either poorly managed
by churches or administered for the
benefit of few fortunate shareholders.
The rural cemetery law, as amended
in 1879, allows them to divide among
themselves the net profits from the.sale
of plots. Realizing about twenty thous-
and dollars for an acre, which hardly
cost two thousand, their investments
bring large revenues, and are esteemed
valuable. By assuming the guise OF
benevolent societies, owners succeeded
In evading payment of the taxes which
their less fortunate neigh bors are
obliged to pay. The trustees are never
called upon to make reports to the
state, and they give but scanty infor-
nation to their stockholders.-F'rom
