oLEAGINoUS CASES.
Appeals Taken Two Years Ago Dis
posed os by judge Blair.

A raid made in April, 1886, by direction
of the State Dairy Commissioners on
some grocers in this city, who We're
charged with selling oleomargarine for
butter, was recalled in the Common Pleas
Court, this morning, in the trial OF an
appeal from judgment of Justice OF
the Peace James N. Davis. The raid was
made by Deputy Dairy Commissioners
Scudder and Vandergriff. They found
oleomargarine in five places, Ammon' q
Persons, John Taylor's, Henry Wrees-
mans, Michael O'Connor's and Charles
A. Best's. Complaints were made and
the cases were tried several months af-
forwards, before Judge Davis The de-
PENDANTS were found guilty of violating
the law of 1S9s prohibiting the sale Of
oleomargarine, or butterine. without hay
ing the packages properly designated as
to contents When the raid was made
at Ammons, Mr.. Amn1on told the OFF,
GERS, who found a ten-pound package
there, that it was only a sample pack
age and not for sale Judge Davis i'm
posed fine of 800 in each case, and
the Judgment was appealed. The ap-
peal has been lingering along ever since,
several postponements having been OBJ
tained by Senator DAILY, who represents
the appellants. A week ago Judge Blair
set the trial down peremptorily for to-
day.
This morning Senator DAILY moved for
non-suit, on the ground that the com
plant was insufficient to make the de-
PENDANTS liable. The complaint, he con-
tended, should have set out not only the
possession of the oleomargarine, but that
it was offered for sale.
Judge William J. Lewis, of Paterson,
counsel for the Dairy Commissioners, op-
posed the motion, and Judge Blair de-
MED it. Amos b. Scudder testified that
he and Inspector Vandergriff went to
Ammon's place and took sample of the
oleemargarine The sample was sent to
Shipper Wallace, the official chemist of
the Dairy Commissioners and State
Board of Health. who analyzed it and
pronounced it oleonargarine.
When Judge Lewis had presented the
case against Ammon, Senator DAILY re-
newed his motion for a noll-suit, on the
ground that no evidence. had been pre-
sented that the oleomargarine had been
offered for sale, and Judge Blair granted
the motion. The case of Wreesman was
then taken up, but had not been con-
cluded at recess.

IRDEN ACQU|TT TED.
Justice Hanna Holds That a
Ticket to Newark is
Good to New York.

Justice of the Peace Hanna in the First
Criminal Court. this morning. heard the
case of NJ b, Irden, of No. s0S West
Twenty-ninth street. New York, who was
arrested several days ago on complaint
of Frank NJ Carpenter, conductor on the
Erie Railroad who charged that he had
violated the railroad law in refusing to
pay his fare from Newark to jersey City.
Irden, so Carpenter testified. boarded his
train at Newark on December IS, and ten
dered for his fare the half of an excursion
ticket. good only for passage from New
York to Newark. The ticket was dated
December il, and Carpenter refused TO
take it. He admitted-that he was acting
under new rule of the company in re-
jecting the ticket, as previously II would
have been considered good, no matter for
which direction it called. Under the new
rule, however. they were only good for the
direction stated thereon. Notice Of this
rule had been issued a month before.
Irden, he said, claimed he had paid his
fare and when he refused to pay again
was arrested.
Irden, who is manager of the Hedding
Wood Works Newark testified that he
had been a regular rider on the road fpr
years. He had always purchased excur-
sion tickets, he said, and both parts had
always been accepted, whether in the di-
rection called for or not. He knew Moth
ing of any new order, and as he paid for
the ticket he believed he was entitled to
ride on it.
Justice Hanna decided that Irden was
fully justified in refusing to pay addi-
tiona1 fare; he had paid for his ticket
and was entitled to a ride, especially as
other conductors had received tickets
from him, and he therefore discharged
him Lawyer Charles Garrick appeared
for the defendant, and representative
of Corbin & Corbin for the company

The thermometer during the heat of the
day averages about 124 in the shade and
in a long list of towns the lowest figure
fund was 10. In the sun it is 100. so it
is impossible to work at midday. The
heat caused numerous fires from sponta-
neous combustion and the houses are so
baked during the day that in the worst
section the residents sleep in gardens and
on roofs. The damage from fire is very
great.
1t would appear from the press reports
that the total damage will amount to mill

FOUR FAMOUS WOMEN.
Their Faces win be Carved in Stone On
Albany Capitol.

Albany, n. Y, Jan. 31-Supt. of Pub
lie Works Aldridge has decided on some
changes in connection with the artistic
work of the grand stairway in the capitol
building. One of the features of the
stairway is the carving of distinguished
personages' heads in the caps of the col
umns. There has been some criticism Of
this work OH the ground that some of the
persons whose memory it has been sought
to honor have not been of distinguished
character.
When Supt. Aldridge took charge he
endeayored to overcome some of the criti-
clsm, the outcome of which was that some
Pf the heads that had been cut were re-
moved and others recut. He also decided
that the heads of governors should be
carved in the space below the dome of the
stairway instead of indiscriminate sub
Jects. There are not to exceed half a
dozen spaces for heads remaining uncut.
In all the artistic work the part which
woman has taken in history has been
overlooked, for the face of not one single
distinguished woman looks down on the
visitor. 1t is this discovery that has led
to the change of plans referred to and
caused Supt. Aldridge to announce that
he has selected four women as types rep
resenting woman in four distinct spheres
and giving direction that their portraits
shall be carved III the stairway caps
These four women are Capt. Molly
Pitcher, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Clara
Barton and Susan B. Anthony
