SCHLICHTING CONVICTED.
His "Pull" Fails to Operate ir
the Sessions Court--An
Appeal to Be Made.

Notwithstanding the pull Justice OF
the Peace Oscar Schlichting of Hoboken
claimed to have, he was convicted yester-
day afternoon of assault and battery on
Adolph Lankering. The trial began on
Monday morning and continued until 7:SO
P. NJ yesterday, when the jury, after de-
liberating three hours and half, brought
in the verdict. Schlichting had been IN
dicted for atrocious assault.
The defendant and his counsel, former
Judge Hoffman, appeared to be greatly
surprised at the verdict. An appeal will
be taken.

other witnesses had previously been called
to testify to the defendants good char
acter. Mayor Pagan and Councilman Tim
ken had been subpoenaed for the same
purpose, but failed to appear.

KEELYs FRIENDS SPEAK
They Say the Recent Discover
les Are More Mares, Nests
Than the Motor Is.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25, 1S99-B. L. Acker-
man. President of the Keely Motor Com
pany, has issued a statement on behalf of
his Board of Directors, reafirming their
faith in the dead inventor and utterly de-
nying that the recent discoveries in
Keely' 81 workshop are of any significance.
The recent published statements in this
connection described the finding of a
steel sphere and metallic tubes that APP
parently had been concealed in juxta-
position to Keely's motor. From these
the deduction was drawn that Keely's s
power consisted simply in compressed air
secretly conveyed through these tubes and
that Keely, instead of being the diseoverer
of new force, had resorted to a subter-
fuge to deceive. Further, electric wires
were found and were said to indicate
that Keely had also resorted to electricity
to make his theory of vibrations seem
practicable.
Mr.. Ackerman states that the sphere
and metallic tubes were simply pieces of
machinery connected with an altogether
different device abandoned by Keely in
1887 that the existence of these tubes,
etc., were fully known to the directors
of the company and to scientists not
financially interested in Keely; that the
recent published statements revealed
nothing to those who had invested money
in Keely's ideas; that compressed air had
or has no part in the Keely motor, and
that to compress air to pressure that
would be serviceable, powerful and com
plicated machinery would have been re-
qured, ''none of which, says Mr. Ack-
erman, "ever existed at any time in
Keely's place" The electric wires found
were, he maintains simply the remnant
of burglar alarm.

EARLY VOTE
ON PEACE.
Senate Committee Thinks
Treaty Should Soon Be
Decided.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25, 1S99,-The Sem
ate Committee on Foreign Relations to-
day discussed the situation of the peace
treaty in an informal way, giving especial
attention to the proposition that a vote
should be taken Immediately There was
apparently a division of opinion as to
whether the opposing Senators were real
ly as anxious for vote as they professed
to be, but the declaration was made by
the friends of the treaty that they were
not opposed to an early vote,
and while no formal instruction
was given, the opinion was generally
expressed that an early vote should be
sought The opinion of the treaty sup
porters on the committee was, however,
unanimous that the committee should
hold the matter of fixing the date in its
own hands. Chairman Davis was in
structed to press consideration and to
allow no time to be lost
The members of the committee say the
vote should come soon but they name no
specific day.
At 12:46 P. NJ. the Senate, on motion of
Mr.. Davis, went into executive session.
The Senate has agreed unanimously to
take vote on the peace treaty on Febru-
ary at p NJ.

Sunday school room. After it was over
the boys humbly apologized. The lights
in the Sunday school room were not
turned out There was one light in the
vestibule put out, but this was III

.HALLIDAY'S TRIAL ON TODAY
His Employer Testifies to the
Truth of His Story--Dr.
Converse's Opinion.

The trial of John Halliday for man
slaughter, for the killing of James Hold
en-, was begun in the General Sessions
Court today. Prosecutor Erwin is con-
Quoting the case for the State and former
| Judge Hudspeth represents the defend
ant.
The affray in which Holden received the
injuries which resulted in his death oc-
Cured on March &c. Holden, who was
eighty-six years old, owned the house at
No. 245 Fifth street, and occupied the
lower floor. Halliday and his family
lived up stairs. He fell behind in his
rent and Holden served him with three
days notice to vacate the premises. He
secured other quarters and he had ar
ranged to move.
On the evening of the twenty-third,
Holden went to the c. F. Adams Com
pany's store, No. 423 Grove street, where
Halliday was employed, and demanded
his rent. Halliday told him that he
would pay on Saturday as he had agreed
to do Holden insisted on having the
money there and then, but Halliday told
him that he couldn't give it to him be-
cause he didn't have it, The old man
then became abusive, called Halliday a
skin and a fraud and talked in very
loud Tone
Halliday ordered him to leave the store.
Holden refused to leave and Halliday
took him by the shoulders and pushed
him out of the door. Holden slipped on
the step and fell, striking his head
against the sidewalk. His arm was bro
ken, and it afterward developed that his
head was injured. He died on April II.
Thomas H Montgomery manager of
the Adams store, testified that his atten-
tion was attracted by loud talking in the
store He saw Holden there talking to
Halliday in very loud voice. He was
demanding his rent Halliday told him
that he would pay him on Saturday. Hol-
den insisted on being paid at once. He
called Halliday a skin and fraud. Hal
liday told Holden that he could not pay
him then because he had no money, but
he would pay him on Saturday. Holden
became more demonstrative and raised his
cane in threatening manner. Halliday
him out of the door. Holden fell on the
step. Halliday afterward told the witness
that Holden had broken his arm.
On cross-examination Montgomery said
that the representative of the State had
been to see him and had obtained state
ment from him.
DR.. Converse testified that the injury re-
ceived by Holden would not be sufficient
to cause the death of young man but it
would hasten the death of man of Hol-
den's age. The trial will probably last all
day.

A Caustfc Arch bishop.

The latest story of the rough side of the
tongue of the Archbishop of Canterbury
gives his answer to an incumbent of a liv-
ing who applied for the privilege of hold
ing another one. Asked how far the new
living was from his present cure, he re-
piled, ''About six miles as the crow fiies.''
Said Archbishop Temple, You're not a
crow, you can't fly, and you sha'n't have
it, This reads like a plariarism from
the Private Diary of Cornhill, which re-
corded a tale of the Education Office. An
inspector was asked why he had charged
so much for his farebetween two places
when, as the crow flies, it was only SO
many miles. He replied; y do not ride a
