oooK-poYLE FEuD IN COURT.

The case against Charles Peterson, of
Nc. 223 Orient avenue, of assault and bat
terry on Patrick and Margaret Doyle, Of
No. 40 Mallory venue. was again laid
over in the Second Criminal Court this
morning. This was necessitated through
the absence of important witnesses.
Peterson first had the Doyles arrested
for assault and battery, and they were
held for the Grand jury. They had
Peterson arrested on a counter charge.
From the developments of the hearing
this morning, a William Cook did most of
the fighting. 1t appears, that Cook and
Peterson attacked Doyle, and Mrs. Doyle
ran to the assistance of her husband.
Mrs. Doyle swore that Cook had her hus-
band down and that Peterson was kick
ing him. Peterson claims that Doyle
was the aggressor. Peterson is repre-
sented by Lawyer Madden. The row is
the result of an old grudge existing be-
tween Cook and the Doyles.

THE RESERVES At WORK
New Jerseys Sailors Making
Themselves Familiar With
the Montauk.

LEAGUE ISLAND. Pa, April 14-Naval
Reserves belonging to the Battalion of the
East. New Jersey, now form part of the
population Of the navy yard here, there
having arrived from Hoboken Tuesday a
detail of ten officers and men. who will
make preparations for the reception OF the
remaining e~ighty-fve who viii make up
the crew of the Montauk, the noblest of
all the old war monitors.
Lieutenant Edward Mcclure Peters. the
navigator, who has been here for some
time. was joined by Paymaster Arthur IA.
Colby. Ensign A. Dugan, Chief Gunner's
Mate McDermott, Chief Machinist Dupont
and six seamen. The officers have taken
up quarters at the Hotel Stratford, while
the seamen are being looked after in the
receiving ship Richmond. Quarters on the
Montauk will not be ready for the Re
serves for several days, until the car
penters and painters and other workmen
shal nave finished their tasks Of putting
the vessel in shape.
The New Jersey Reserves, the officers
looking pretty in their g-old-trimmed uni
form and the seamen in suits of blue, ar
rived at the same time as the eighty-four
New York Reserves came in to take
charge of the Nahant. with the seven Off
GERS who had come on ahead. The Nahant
was put into commission today and she
will be the first to cave the yard, prob
ably on Friday.
After the New Jersey Reserves had
looked over he Montauk they made a
tour of the yard and made social calls
on the Massachusetts and New York Re
serves, who had arrived before them. The
caapoa nlcacad pnnI1ob with
their future quarters, though all the re-
serves who had come here seem to have
expected something better. Sleeping
quarters are so limited that the men will
have to swing in three tiers in order to
sleep. They are told that in time of war
as little as possible is desired for the ene-
my to hit, SO space must be limited.
When the Jerseymen arrived w-orkingmen
were just finishing the task of patching
up the deck flooring.
They had covered with new boards the
historic spot where lay the body of j.
Wilkes Booth while it was being con-
veyed to and from Washington. Other
men were putting war paint on the tur-
ret, smokestack and other deck struc-
lures, and the fire had been started to get
up steam in order to test the turret and
other machinery. The officers could not
state when the balance of the crew would
be given word to come on, but it is not
likely that they will be sent for until some
time next week.
The Catskill, bound for Boston, will be
the first to follow the Nahant, and she
will not be in shape to leave until next
week. There is plenty of work ahead for
the detail of Jerseymen, with plenty more
after the rest of the crew shall have ar
rived before the Montauk will be ready
to proceed to Portland, Me.
