NO CASES TRIED.
Courts Closed Because of the
Blizzard and Lack Of
Coal.

None of the courts was in session to-
day. This was partly due to the blizzard
and party to the scarcity of coal. Judge
Blair was the only magistrate who put in
an appearance and he looked bright and
pleasant, having evidently enjoyed the
Lincoln dinner last night.
Only forty of the sixty jurors who are
to serve during the next two weeks
probably snow bound. Prosecutor Erwin
was also snow bound through the failure
of the Greenville cars to run and he had
not reached the Court House upto noon.
There was nothing on in Justice Lip
pincott's Cour as he had practically
adjourned for the term on Friday last,
as his time until the beginning of the
April term will be occupied in the Supreme
Court and Court of Errors. Judge Nevius
lives in Red Bank and nobody expected
him to put in an appearance in the exist
ing condition of the weather.
There were three cases listed for trial
in she General Sessions Court, the most
important of which was that of Thomas,
alias RED Dugan, for breaking into the
Rev. ]. c. ]. Petersen's house and shoot
ing at Mrs. Petersen. Even if Prosecu-
tor Erwin or his assistant, Mr.. Van Win
kle. had been present, the cases would
not have been tried, as Engineer Lloyd
sent word to Judge Blair about II o'clock
that his supply of coal was almost ex-
hausted and he would be unable to keep
the court rooms warm during the day.
Congressman DAILY caused considerable
surprise and omment by making his APP
pearance in court. He had come all the
way from Hoboken, but he explained that
the North Hudson County Companv's
elevate road was not blockaded. The
snow had not reached up to the tracks.
Judge Blair excused the jurors about 11:30
and adjourned the court until tomorrow
morning.
