| CABuEN EZONERbTED
BY MAJOR SYLVESTER
Charges of Ext0rtion Prompt
ly Dismissed.
No Conspiracy to Defraud the TRAY
cling Pablie.
Refused to Carry the Complainant
Because Horses We're
Exhausted.

Full reports have been made by Major
Sylvester. Chief of Police, and Samuel A.
Croft, District Hack Inspector, exonerat-
ing the cabnen at the stand at Connecti-
cut Avenue and NJ Street northwest, from
| the accusation of conspiracy against the
travelling public and Of making extortion-
ate charges.
These charges were made by several
people, one of them woman, du. ing the
month of February. 1t was claimed by
the cabmen, whom the woma1 accused of
refusing to haul her for the regulation
hack fare, that their horses were exhaust
ed about the time of the complaint, owing
to the deep snow and the blizzard and that
they were at the time unfit for immediate
service. The complaint stated that cab
man NO. 142 had refused to convey her
for less than 80 cents. The cabman wear
ing that number was found, upon inycsri-
cation, TO have been on an entirely 6rffer-
ent stand at that time
delegation of cabmen from the NJ
Street stand called upon Major Sylvester
last week and denied the allegation as 10
| asking illegal rates. They asserted that
N-N' N'N'N i'i q COMPANY ludt business
was suspended for a time on account OF
! the storm. This was done at the instance
OF the management, but as soon as possi-
Bile afterward they returned to work and
were directed TO do the best they co;.;I in
the face of the disagFecable weather.
The delegates admitted that lady had
called at their stand as stated, but said the
exhausted condition of the horse attached
to the vehicle desired was such as TO cause
refusal of service. The use OF an exhaust
ed animal. replied Major Sylvester, would
nave subjected the offender the punishment
If apprehended.
In a report TO the Commissioners, Major
Sylvester stated, relative to the alleged
conspiracy among the drivers that he did
not believe such a state OF affairs could be
maintained for any length of time without
discovery. The readiness of persons i'm
posed upon by drivers" he continued 10
report the same, as police experience and
records prove, would stop such an under
standing without much delay. MANY pro
Voking Inconvenience were occasioned the
citizens by the inability and inefficiency of
cab service during the extreme winter
weather, 1t must be admitted and il is To
De regretted. but this department Will do
the best 1t can to keep down complaint"
The Commissioners will take no action
IN the matter further than TO approve the
recommendations of Major Sylvester and
the Hack Inspector

BOTH LEGS AND ARM SEVERED
Distressing Fate of IL Brakeman on
Freight Train.

New York. March 6.-Holding their baby
| in her arms, a young wife for four hour )
| sat by her dying husband in the baggage
room OF the Pennsylvania Railroad sta
tion at New Brunswick \. J.. early yes
terday morning. He was Eugene Lippin-
colt. twenty-five years old. a brakeman,
of 65U East State Street. Trenton, who had
been crushed under a train.
Lippincott was working as an extra
brakeman on a stbound freight. About
10 o'clock Saturday night as the train was
nearing New Brunswick the engine driver
whistled down brakes. and Lippiucott
started to climb to the top of a car TO
obey the signal. The sudden setting of the
engine brakes jolted him Off and he fell
between the cars, across the track.
His legs were cut OFF and his right arm
torn Off The bones of his legs were fore
ed up through his abdomen. Despite his
awful injuries he did not lose conscious
ness, and when taken to the station in
New Brunswick gave instructions that his
wife be sent for.
Doctors who examined him decided he
had only few hours to live, and as 10
move him would have still further short
ened his life, he was kept in the baggage
room instead of being sent to the hospital.
The injured mans young wife arrived
on the IL o'clock train. accompanied by
her father, Jonathan Martindale, and
brought with her her youngest babe, a
child of eleven months, as she had not
been able to get anyone to take care of it.
She sat by her husbands side, sohbing
softly and now and then bending down to
catch the words he whispered in a vain
effort to cheer her. 1t was o'clock te-
fore Lippincott. whose vitality was Won
derful, breathed his last.
The young man had been married four
years and leaves three children.
