the Third Avenue Railroad system. has at last sue

ment into law OF bills presented in the Legislature
this spring by Senators Raines and Coggeshall.
which measures In substance give the Union COM
pany the right to increase its capital stock TO issue
bonds equal in amount 10 the new Issue Of stock.
TO obtain extensions OF its lines by consent OF
the State Railroad Commission, and to have the
amount OF new stock TO be issued against such ex-

ward Lauterbach counsel for the Third Avenue
Railroad Company was quoted yesterday as say

Yes. IL Is true that have obtained legislative
relief for an ntolerable situation. We go

NOT A RIVER PIRATE.
Judge Blair Acquits John Randall
of the Charge of Stealing.

Judge Blair in the Special Sessions Court
Yesterday decided tina John Randall Is
not a river pirate. Joh was tried on a
charge of grand larceny. Charles Wag-
ner. of No. 30S Montgomery street, a
special Waterman on the Central Railroad
pier, testified. that about $50 P. M. on
September &c, he saw the defendant In a
boat rowing out from the Lehigh Valley
Railroad slip. The witness shouted 70
some other watchmen:-
Look out, boys, here comes a river
piratei"
Wagner thought that Randall intended
to stop at the pier he was on, but instead
of stopping the supposed pirate went right
along about his business. A few minutes
afterward A. Webster. a Lehigh Valley
watchman, told Wagner that a line was
missing from the Lehigh Valley pier. Tne
tugs Bayonne and Red Ash, or White ASH
Wagner didn't know which was the right
name, were summoned and they captured
the supposed pirate.
Wagner said he saw the defendant
throw something out of the boat, but on
Characterization he admitted that he
didn't know whether there was anything
in the BOAT or not. There was no direct
evidence that Randall had stolen anything
and Judge Blair acquitted him.

WHO MARRIED THEN?
Rumor Says Isabel Irving and

The New York papers this morning say
that Isabel Irving, the leading actress OF
John Drew's mpa and William II.
mps who is a member of Maud
adams company, were married yesterday
in this city by a clergyman. Careful IN
~yestigation failed to discover who the
minister that performed the ceremony Is
1t is certain that a couple giving the
names mentioned were In this city Wed
nesday afternoon and called upon several
~clergymen, but no one could be FOUND
who saw them yesterday.
On Wednesday two gentlemen, one OF
whom was w. H. Thompson, called at the
Washington Hotel and asked to be d.
rected to a minister of the German Re-
formed Church. The clerk at the desk
directed them to the Tabernacle and from
that time on it would seem that the party
had considerable trouble. A lady Joined
the men at the corner of Grand street
They failed to locate anyone at the
Tabernacle, and then went to the home of
the Rev. III. C. Cussler, No. los Grand
street. Mr.. CussIer was not at home and
the party then called Upon the Rev. Mr..
Brown, of No. 2SS Varick street. who re-
fused to unite the couple when he. heard
that one of the parties had been divorced.
Mr.. Brown did not know which. but as he
has very decided views on the question
of divorced persons remawying he would
have nothing to do with the pair. AT this
point the couple seems to a dropped
from sight, as nothing further could be
learned of their actions. 1t seems hardly
likely thai they were married on this side
of the river, though they may have had
the n tied in Hoboken.
