NELSON'S ROMANCE.
His First Love Was Charming Mary Simp-
son. of 0nehec.

The pretty little romance gives Nelson's
memory a sentimental interest in Canada.
'Iesiie's Weekly states that during his
service at Quebec, in 1882, when he was
but "a years of age, he became infatuated
with a Canadian girl. Mary Simpson,
daughter of a great Canadian merchant
of the period. At the time of Nelson's
visit she was but is years old, marvellous
~ beautiful and witty. On October IA,
1852. Lords Nelson's ship, the Alhemarle,
was ready to sail, and he paid a very sad
and tender parting with Mary Simpson,
and went down the st. Lawrence to
board the man-of-war. The next morn
ing arrived and the Albemarle did not
heave anchor, and Captain Nelson was
seen coming back to Quebec in a boat. A
Quebec at the time. espied him and asked
ed as having said: Il find it absolutely
impossible to leave this place without
again waiting upon her whose society has
so much added to its charms, and laying
myself and my fortune at her feet" Nell
sons friend protested against such a rash
act, and told him that, situate as you
are at present, you utter ruin will newt
ably follow Then let it follow re-
piled Nelson, earnestly, for / am resolved
to do it, But despite his intentions the
stronger will of his friend prevailed, and
he was fairly carried back to his ship
and forced to cave behind the girl he
loved; and it was many years before he
gave up the hope of possessing her, for
Nelson never returned to Canada, n
Mary Simpson died in SpinSterhood.

Prince Albert Leopold of Flanders, who
may one day become King of the Bel
gians, came into Jersey City, and soon
after his arrival in the Pennsylvania Rail
road depot, took the 1923 A. M. train for
President Mckinley and Vice-President
Hobart, but on the same nights.
The Prince came over from New York
by the Twenty-third street ferry, accom-
panied by Count de Lichtervelde, the Bel
gian minister, and suite, M walked with
the stream of passengers through the
waiting room to the train shed. Station
Master J.. Keifer was on duty as usual,
n he instantly picked out the future
King, who was dressed as an ordinary
being. He wore a black derby hat, black
overcoat, high collar, and peered curious
ly at everything through a pair of eye
glasses. Mr.. Keifer has become SO nue.

MONTGOMERY ST. VAR
Vice Chancellor Emery Refuses
Sheridan & Shea Cos APP
plieation to Interfere
With the Improve
ment.

Vice Chancellor Emery yesterday after
noon in Chancery Chambers, Newark, re-
fused to interfere with the Consolidated
Traction Company shifting its tracks on
Montgomery street and Contractor
Cannon in digging a trench on the same
t~horoughfare to repair the sewer. The
dispute over this double barrelled matter
was because Sheridan & Shea Company,
contractors for the requirement. OF the
street complained that they were hinder
ed in their attempt to finish their con-
tract made with the city by the work
of the Traction Company n the sewer
contractor.
Messrs. Sheridan & Shea commended
tina ii the Traction Company were per-
mitted to remove their tracks and Con-
tractor Cannon allowed to go on with
digging up the street, they could not use
a steam roller. Accordingly they asked
for a rule to show cause why both Trac-
ton Company and Contractor annon
| should not be restrained. On the argu-
ment yesterday Lawyer G.. Kelsey repre-
! scented Messrs. Sheridan & Shea Com
pany ~ex-Judge A. @. Garretson and
| Spencer Weart appeared for the Traction
| Company, while Corporation Attorney w.
| D. Douglass took care of Jersey City's in
| terests.
After afidavits on both sides had been
| submitted and the lawyers argued pro
and con, the Vice-Chancellor refused to
| grant the order for the reason, he said,
that it did not appear that the Court OF
Equity had any rights to interfere. There
was no irreInediable damage shown to be
committed, and His Honor could not in
~terfere in a matter dictated in the inter-
ests of public health.
Compartments counsel then asked for
the dismissal of the rule, and being grant
ed that ended that phase of the case. 1t
is understood that Messrs. Sheridan &
Shea will throw up the contract for the
improvement of the street and another
sort of music will begin.

TOO MANY COOKS ETC.
Counsel 10 a Robbery Trial
Today Make an Extra
ordinary Request.

The result of the trial of Stephen Nc
Kenna, James Walsh and Charles Har-
ris, on an Indictment for robbing Cap
tain La Montana of S725, will determine
one of two things, whether there is any
merit in a multiplicity of lawyers or
whether it will be a case of too many
cooks spelling the broth. The trial was
begun yesterday morning n continued
all day. The defendants were represent
ed by Messrs. Joseph Smith and Isaac
G~oldenhorn. h morning Lawyers
Alexander Young and Alexander Simp-
son were added to the array of counsel.
Mr.. Young has been in the case all the
time, and Mr.. Simpson was brought into
it this morning.
Mr.. Young was in Washington yester-
day when the case was moved and when
court opened today he made a frantic
splurge about the injustice of having it
tried in his absence. He wanted to be-
gin the trial all over again, SO that he
might have an opportunity to cross-ex-
anime the witnesses of the State.
Judge Hudspeth denied his application.
He said that Mr.. Young had received
ample notice that the trial was set down
for yesterday and it was no fault of the
Court or the Prosecutor if Mr.. Young
was not there. Besides, the defendants
were represented by able counsel and
their interests had not been injuriously
affected by Mr.. Young's absence.
Mr.. Smith was allowed the greatest
latitude by the Court" said Judge Hubs
peth. He was permitted to ask perth
nent and impairment questions"
Mr.. Young asked to have the trial de-
layed for a short time that he might
nave an opportunity to read the testi-
mony; but Judge Hudspeth decided tina
it must go on.
The story of the robbery is that Cap
tain ia Montana spent the night of Jan
uary 81 in Kennedy's saloon, in >Four-
teenth street, drinking. He displayed 9
large sum of money. After leaving the
saloon, about l A. NJ, he was knocked
down and robbed of his money by three
young men, said to be the defendants
Between s700 and $500 was found on then
when they were arrested. The defence
is hat the defendants won the money il
gambling and that Captain La Montana
was robbed by some gay young womer
with whom he was dallying.
The trial was still on at recess.
