PLOFF'S FATAL NAP
Trolley Car Throws Him
From His Truck and !,
He Is Killed.
MORToRMAN IS ARRESTED
Witnesses Say the Accident Was
all The Dead Mans
Fault.
MORTORMAN IS ARRESTED

A strange accident occurred this morn
ing in the G%reenville section of this city.
when Ira Plof. a driver for Bartlett &
Co, butchers, was knocked from his truck
and almost instantly killed.
The accident occurred. at about five
o'clock this morning. Ploff was driving
a load of dressed hogs TO Bayonne and
was on the west side OF Ocean avenue.
It is thought tina Plof must have fallen
asleep, for at Ocean and Pearsall avenues
the horses suddenly turned out from the
gutter and pulled the truck over on the
car track. Just at that moment car No.
2SS. in charge of Motorman James Hurley,
of No. 1873 Old Bergen Road. Greenville,
came tearing along. The car struck the
rear of the truck and the shock threw
Plof from his seat TO the pavement. a
distance of over ten feet. Ploff fell on his
head and lie died in ten minutes.
The police We're Immediately notified
and the motorman and conductor were
slaughter. Ploff's body was taken to the
morgue. The front platform of the car
was demolished, but the truck and horses
escaped uninjured.
An accident similar to this happened in
Bayonne about a year ago, when a drive
was killed on the same truck that Plof
was thrown from and in almost the same
manner.
Hurley. the motorman, was arraigned
in the Second Criminal Court this morn
ing. The evidence of witnesses clearly
showed tina Ploff's death was due to an
accident for which Hurley could in no.
wise be blamed. He was paroled for fur
ther examination on Saturday, April %.
Thomas Connerton, of No. 20 Second
street. the conductor of the car which ran
into the truck in charge of Ploff, was
discharged from custody.

WANTS INHERITANCE TAX BACK

Lawyer James Palmer made an applica-
ton to Judge Blair in the Orphans Court
this morning, to nave set aside q collat-
eral inheritance tax levied on the estate
Of the late Silas H. Brown.
Mr.. Palmer represented Catherine
Brown. the widow and Administrative. He
argued that the estate, amounting to
sio.241.4o, is personal, is located in New
York. and therefore not subject to the
gate James T. Liilis and the State. They
ssontended tina Mrs. Brown took out let
fers OF administration in this State, is
acting under these letters and the estate
is therefore liable to the tax. Judge
Blair reserved decision.

ACQUITTED THE PIRATE.
Patrick Collins Escapes Punishment
for Taking Away a Tug Boat.


Patrick Collins was tried in the Special
Sessions Court yesterday afternoon for
having participated with three others in
the larceny of the tugboat A. j. Hooli-
han. on the night of March Is.
The tug had been laid up for the night
at the foot of Hudson street and there
was nobody on board but Warren Luther,
one of the crew, who was peacefully
sleeping in his bunk. Luther testified
that about 10 o'clock he was awakened by
Collins, who ordered him to produce the
lamps. Luther was surprised to find that
the tug was then out in the river. One
man was in the pilot house, another in
the engine room getting up steam. Luther
asked the defendant what they proposed
doing with the boax. Collins replied that
they had a job toetake a schooner through
He'll Gate and ordered him to hurry and
get the lights out. AS there were four
to one, Luther wisely concluded that the
odd against him were too great and he
offered no forcible resistance to the pirate
crew.
The tug was sailed around the Battery
and up to Red Hook. From there the
pirates took her UP the East River as
far as Hell Gate and then back to Red
Hook. The course was then laid, around
the Battery again and up the North
River. When the pirates tired of their
sport they laid the tug up at the Nor
gan street dock and went ashore.
Luther positively identified Collins as
one of the men, but he didn't know any
of the Others. Collins, who lived with
his mother. over the office of James F.
Underhill, the owner of the boat, at No.
% Hudson street, was arrested in his
home about moor that same day.
The defendants mother testified that
he went to bed at 1880 that night. On
cross-examination she said that he went
to his room but she was lot SO sure
that he went to bed.
Collins denied that ne had anything to
do with the escapade n declared that
Luther was mistaken as to his identity.
Judge Blair looked Upon 1t as a boyish
prank and as the boat was not stolen but
brought back to the city, he acquitted
the defendant.

The warrant case Of S. H. Auerbach
against Salt Lake county was on trial
yesterday before Judge Hiles and a
jury The suit was brought by the
plaintiff to recover $4,000 and interest
on a county warrant held by Mr.. Auer-
bach. IT is alleged in the complaint
that in June, 1894, the county entered
into d contract with A H. Andrews &
Co. for furniture for the county's half
of the city and county building for
which the county agreed to pay s54,-
e7S,S5 The warrant in question, for
S15, 600, was issued TO Andrews & Co.
and purchased by the plaintiff, who
presented it for payment on Nov. 10,
1896, and payment was refused.
The defense alleged that the three
county selectmen, Messrs. Bamberger.
Cahoon and Morris, fraudulently and
corruptly entered into the contract for
the purchase of furniture at a price
largely in excess of its market value
so as to enable Andrews & Co. to pay
the selectmen a ''rake-off'' of 25 per
cent on the gross amount of the bill
On March 6, 1894, the selectmen en-
tered into contracts to buy the furni-
ture for $34, 600 and S20,973.S5. 1t is al
q private meeting of the selectmen and
Martin Hayken, the agent of Andrews
& Co., at the Knutsfcrd hotel, and not
at a regular meeting of the board of
selectmen. Further it is alleged that
in pursuance of the corrupt agreement,
Hayken on behalf of Andrews & Co.
paid the three selectmen 81, 200 on May
Il, 1894, 81, 900 OF Aug. Z, 1894. and 81 0G0
on Dec. 1, 1894, also that Andrews & Co.
donated to John P. Cahoon and his
partner, Harry Haynes, furniture for
al opera house 1t Murray to the value
o. S7S2.16 and furnishings for a store
at Murray TO the value OF $1,S60 in pur-
suance of the alleged corrupt agree
ment. 1t is then claimed that in addi-
ton to the 25 per cent to be paid to the
selectmen, Andrews & Co. added u per
cent more to the price of the furniture
which it is claimed was really not
worth to exceed S27, 900. 1t is claimed
that these fraudulent transactionsp-iIl-
validated the warrants and that the
county is not bound to pay them
The plaintiff is represented by Cole
mel Ellis and Mr.. H Z. Booth and the
defense by County Attorney Van Colt,
Assistant County Attorney Putnam and
ex-County Attorney Whittemore.
