lice Justice Nevin. Mrs. Lewis, a good
looking woman of middle age the

italian Tried For Using Razor
Has That Plea as Defence.

Joseph Presso, a Hoboken Italian, was
tried in the General Sessions Court this
morning for using his trusty razor on
Samuel Holland, Hoboken German, who
lives at No. G04 Adams street. The in
dictment against the defendant is for
atrocious assault and battery
Holland testified that he was sitting at
his window about II P NJ on May 10,
when he saw crowd running. toward the
dumps at the head of Seventh street His
curiosity impelled him to go out and fol-
low the crowd. Several friends Joined
him. There was nothing at the dumps
to detain them and they returned. On
the way back Holland stopped at George
Van Colts oyster stand. corner of Sixth
and Adams street. and remained in con-
versation with Van Cott for about an
hour.
Holland started across the street to go
home. On the other side he met two
Italians and as they approached they
said something in italian and Holland
said
What's the matter with you fellows?"
One of the Italians pulled his razor and
s'"ssed Holland in the forehead. Holland
cried out to Van Cott:-
George, / m cut; caIcn MIN!
Van Cott hastened across the street and
the Itlaian with the razor made slash
at him. The two Italians then ran away
IN opposite directions. Holland, Van Cott
and two or three others pursued the man
with the razor. The fugitive ran into a
house at No. SOC Madison street
The pursuers waited on the stoop until
Officer Leakey arrived and then the pur-
suers went up stairs. They found Presso
In a room on the third floor and Holland
identified him as the man who had cut
him. The prisoner was taken TO the
police station and Holland was sent to
st. Mary's Hospital, where he remained
for five days.
On cross-examination by former Judge
Hoffman, Holland said that when he and
the officer entered the room Presso was
undressed. He admitted that he was
right behind Presso all the time.
The defence is that is is case of mis-
taken identity, although all the State s
witnesses testified that they never lost
sight of him until he disappeared in the
Madison street house. The trial occupied
all the morning and had not been con-
cIuded at recess.

appropriate.
[Bx cable to The Asgoclated Press.1

honorary degree of Doctor of Civil Law
was conferred today upon General Lord
Kitchener of Khartoum; Mr.. Cecil
Rhodes, resident director in South Africa
of the British Chartered South Africa
Company, and the Earl of Elgin. the
former viceroy of India, and Others
The greatest interest was taken in the
event owing to the opposition of num-
ber of the. Dons to comforting a degree
upon Mr. Rhodes, on account of the
prominent manner in which his name
was mentioned in connection with the
Jameson raid in the Transvaal. The op-
position was generally regarded as part
isan and as political movement.
The Duke and Duchess of York were
among those present in the Sheldonian
Theatre, where the degrees were confer
red The thatre was thronged and there
was an imposing procession from
the Corpus Christi College to the
theatre, the new doctors wearing
their robes and General Kitchener being
in uniform, with his medals and other
decorations The undergraduates gave
the General and Mr.. Rhodes very en-
thusiastic reception. Both of them were
given the customary good humored
chaff. A couple of students threw down
their gowns for Mr. Rhodes to walk
over.
After the ceremony General Kitchener
and Mr.. Rhodes were seated near the
Duke and Duchess of York. Mr.. Rhodes
was greeted with cries off,
'sHow about Kruger?''
s.Don't look bored"
sWbat is the price of Chartereds?"
General Kitchener was greeted with
cries off,

The students also sang Hes a Jolly

READY FOR A STRIKE.
D. L. & w. Employees Holds
Secret Meeting.

The many changes made by the new
management of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Railroad in the in
terests of economy are once more the
source of much discomfort among the EN-
ployes, especially on the Morris and Es-
sex Division, and the strike talk" allay-
a few weeks ago by Superintendent Rus
sells promises of better times, is once
more cropping up.

the management of the road.
Secret II lettings are held again at var
Gus pcints along the line, and The s.tua-
tion IS L scussed with ro little bitterness
of feeling toward Supt Russell.
The brotherhoods have arranged to
meet simultaneously along the entire
road next Sunday. A feature of the
meetings will be the election of delegates
to represent the branches of the brother
hoods at a general meeting the following
Sunday.
Just where the general meeting will be
held is a secret, but it will be at some
central point, to insure the attendance
of all the delegates.
The move is the most significant yet
made by the men, and upon the outcome
will hinge the question of strike or
other action looking toward the adjust
ment of grievances. Whatever is deter
mined upon, the men propose moving
cautiously until they are assured of their
position. and then If strike is ordered,
cause a general tie-up all along the line.
The men are extremely reticent, far
more so than when there was talk OF a
strike a few weeks ago., and say 1t Is
necessary that any plans they may make
be kept secret.
1--WE are in better shape for a strike
than ever BEFORE one of their spekes-
men said in Hoboken last evening, and
we will have the active support of all
railroad men of the country.

New Rapid Transit Company
Will Build Tunnel Under
North River.

A new rapid transit scheme, providing
for a tunnel under the North River, was
sprung in the Municipal Assembly OF
New York yesterday. A concern styled
the Manhattan Tunnel Company present.
ed petition signed by David j. New
land asking the consent of the NUM-
cipal Assembly, as required by law, to
build a tunnel railroad westward from
a point eastward of the junction of
Chambers street and West Broadway,
under the North River to the New Jer-
sey Shore.
The petition did not give much light
to the members of the Council, who had
not heard of the company or of its plans
Some thought it might be a part of the
rumored project to consolidate the elec-
trio surface railroads of New Jersey
with the Metropolitan system. Others
saw equally important hidden purposes.
Councilman LEIGH, Republican, insisted
that the matter be referred to the Com
mittee on Tunnels and Bridges. Council
man Oakley, chairman of the Committee
on Railroads. insisted on reference to
his committee, and he was sustained.
Inquiry made last evening revealed
something of the purposes of the new
company and it's tunnel. If its plans are
carried out successfully the journey from

Is 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Pat
ent 1edicine?

Sylvan Valley News, Bernard, North Carolina.
1t may be a question whether the
editor OF newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the vari-
Gus proprietary medicines which flood
the market, yet as preventative of
suffering we feel it our duty to say a
good word for Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We
have known and used this medicine in
our family for twenty years and have
always found it reliable. In many cases
dose of this remedy would save hours
of suffering while physician is await
ed. We do not believe in depending
implicitly on any medicine for a cure,
but we do believe that If bottle of
Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy was
kept on hand and administered at the
inception Of an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very many
cases the presence ola physician would
not be required. At least this has been
our experience during the past twenty
years. For sale by c. w. Houston, at
