urday, has remained unburied until

funeral took place yesterday from the
First Baptist Church. Robinson's body
now lies in coffin in back room of

that the mother of Robinson owns q

it is claimed, only one or two bodies
have been buried. She is unwilling
that her son should be buried elsewhere,
if possiblr, and requested Price to keep
the body until the question as to wheth'

ROBERT SCOTT DROPS DEAD.

ROBERT SCOII DROH0 DEAD.
Robert Scott, one of Charlottesville's
landmarks, dropped dead on Ridge
street yesterday about 11:S0 a. m
while coming from his place into the
city. He was seen to throw up his
hands and to fall upon the street by
some ladies, and Jesse Farrar, who wa
working near by, was summoned. He
WAS carried to the porch Of Captain
Mann's residence, where he died be-
fore physician could reach him.
Robert Scott was in the 9Ssh year OF
his age. He was a man of giant frame,
and to his temperate habits may be at
tributed his reaching the great age at
which he died. Robert was the son Of
the noted Jesse Scott, known through
out Virginia as the famous fiddler.
Jesse's other sons were Jesse and Tom;
the latter was the valet of the Hon.
VIM. G. Rives when he went 10 France
as United States minister. He remain.
ed there, and, it is said, married ma
tive French woman. Jesse, the other
brother, died here some years ago. They
we're all born and reared in the build.
ing Oh Main and 2nd street, cas- where
the postc flee building now stands.
When the property was divided be-
tween the heirs, Robert removed to a
place he owned about mile south of
this city, whence he frequently walked
into the city.
While regarded as colored man,
Robert Scott was not negro. He
claimed large degree of Indian blood
in bis veins, and his every lineament
and his gigantic statute went far to
prove his claim. He was a man OF ex-
cellent principles, courteous as king,
gentle IN manner, and even in the anti
bellum days, he and his brothers were
regsi ded more as the comrades OF the
people they served than as menials do
ing their bidding. He was probably
the Only man who ever witnessed three
Presidents of the United States riding
together-.ihis be told with much pride.
He had seen Jefferson, Madison and
Monroe in laudau, upon the streets OF
Charlottesville.
Robert is survived by six children.

TRENTON, Feb. %, 1S99.-A small bunch
of anxious soldiers from the First and
Second Regiments came down Tuesday
and appeared before the House and Sem
ate committees on appropriations, to urge
the passage of some measure to give the
volunteers a good round lump of the
States money. Robert Bowling spoke for
the Second Regiment, telling of the hard
ships of the soldiers and how they were
forced to purchase the necessaries of life
He said tha while the men were in SER
vice a definite promise was made to them
effect that they would receive at the ex-
piration of their term of service, the diff
ference per diem between the pay al
lowed by the national government and the
usual State. pay of the militia. Others OF
the former volunteers took up the talk.
They stated that there have been but few
applications for pensions from the Jersey
volunteers, although, they claimed. many
of the men are entitled to such pensions.
..The conditions in the State of New

TROLLEY TRANSFERS.
Board Of Trade Discusses In.
ter Communication Be-
tween Local Systems.

Increased facilities for transfers be-
tween the lines of North Jersey and
North Hudson County Railroads was once
more discussed at Tuesday nights meet
ing of the Board of Trade. Mr.. Joseph
A.. Dear. who is taking an active interest
on the subject tod. the Board what he
had said to Mr.. David Young and what
that gentleman had promised to do or
not to do.
The intercommunication, said Mr.. Dear,
between the two systems suggested two
points. Showing the distance between the
Palisade avenue and Newark avenue
lines. Mr.. Dear suggested that if the
North Hudson could put through cars to
the Jersey City ferry it would give COM
munication to a part of the city having
within its limits about 10000 people. These
people, Mr.. Dear pointed out, were pay
ing taxes and were practically cut off.
Mr.. Young had been impressed with the
idea, Mr.. Dear said. and promised to
recommend it to the directors.
Point No. 2 was that if the company at
the Five Corners, where there is only q
distance of twenty feet between the two
systems, could put in a switch, then there
could be through cars. AS to a general
system of transfers, Mr.. Dear said Mr..
Young told him that both companies OBJ
jected to it.
The arguments advanced by Mr.. Young
to Mr.. Dear were printed exclusively III
'.The Jersey City News" a few weeks ago
in an interview with Mr.. Young. They
were in the main that all surface railroad
companies were abolishing transfers as
they were unjust and deprived the COM
panies of a large sum annually.
Va Mr.. Dear, in'conclusion, said that he dis
cussed with Mr.. Young the uniform car
fare from Bergen Point to Bulls Ferry
and other matters, but deeming it unwise
to complicate matters he had determined
to urge. the transfer from the Junction to
Palisade avenue and vice versa. When the
city grew the transfer system could then
be adjusted. Mr.. Young had promised to
give both points his attention, and the
Board, said Mr.. Dear. could hope for a
solution of the question.
