WHEN A WOMAN WON'T -
Mrs. Lyons Learned Something
About Court Today.

Mrs. Lizzie Lyons, of No. 2l6 wayne
street, had very disagreeable experience
this morning inasmuch as she was COM
pelled to put aside her own superior
Judgment and allow such an institution
as a court of law to direct her to do some
thing which she repeatedly refused to do.
Mrs Lyons and her husband Daniel, VINO
is among the missing, were complained OF
by the landlord of the house in which they
live and subpoenas were issued and served
on the lady twice, but she scornfully re-
marked. the police say
saTo - with the law and courts"
That did not please the police, who
have a way of having their orders carried
out, so Mrs. Lyons was called upon by
a detective and told to go along with
him before Police Justice Mccormick.
The landlord, in his testimony, said that
Mrs. Lyons tried to bribe the detective
with a kiss.
Mrs. Lyons was held in default of $500
bail to appear tomorrow morning.

NEWARK, March %, 19O0.-Bernard NJ.
Stanley, who died on Monday night last,
at his home on Washington street, this
city, was laid to rest today in the Gene
terry of the Holy Sepulchre. The funeral
ceremonies were held this morning in St.
Patricks R. c. Cathedral, where a solemn
requiem high mass was sung by the Rt.
Rev Monsignor Doane.
Long before the time for the ceremony,
ten O'Clock Washington street was
crowded with people. Jersey City sent
big delegation of mourners. among
whom were observed Mr.. Edward F. c.
Young and Mr.. Frank L. Sheppard of
the p. r. r.; honorary pallbearers
Messrs. James E. Hulshizer, Jr., of the
Title Guarantee and Trust Co., David

The Cathedral was all too small to con-
tain those who desired to. pay last sad
tribute to his memory and it took nearly
a half hour to empty it after the cere-
mony was over.
The casket was brought across the
street TO the church. 1t was of solid ma
hogany, with silver and gold mountings,
and the silver plate bore the simple in
scription, almost hidden with violets:-

WHEN is A HORSE LAME :?
Doctors Disagree and Court
Is Uncertain.

A case that interests every horse owner
in the county was heard this morning in
the First Criminal Court By Justice of the
Peace Mccormick. A driver named
James Sweeney, employed by the Great
Bear Spring Water Company, which has
a large plant in Henderson street and
which owns nineteen horses, Manager E.
w. Estes says. was arrested yesterday by
officer Van Beuren. of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
charged with using a horse that was lame
in both fore legs. Van Beuren said that
he noticed that the horse was lame and
cautioned the driver not to run or trot
him This caution, he said. the driver
completely ignored and his arrest fol-
lowed.
At the hearing this morning Mr.. Estes,
who says he is a stockholder, a director
and the> manager of the company, acted
as his own lawyer and proved himself
able in that capacity. Van Beuren told
his story and Mr.. Estes questioned him
on a line that led one to infer that he
wished to show that the Society was MAX
ing an exception to its custom in prose-
cutting this particular case. Mrs. Estes
said that when the horse was sent out
of the stable it was newly shod and that
it was not lame when first hitched to the
wagon.
Drs. Mathew and ]. z. Smith were
called to give expert testimony. They
said they had examined the horse. DR..
Mathews testified that the horse was
lame in only one leg and not in both as
charg ed. He said the horse was in pain
or he would not go lame. The trouble
was caused, The said, by shoe that was
not properly adjusted and pricked the
hoof. He thought 1t was not sufficient
cruelty to warrant an action.
DR.. Smith said that the horse was lame
when it was trotting but that it was
sound when walking. He said that it was
not cruelty to use the horse because it
suffered no pain, only slight incon-
venience. If there was pain, he said,
there would be Inflammation, heat, or a
bruise, and that nothing of this kind was
evident in an examination. He said that
he was unable to determine at first in
which leg the horse was lame. and that
it was a common thing for horse to
go awkward, as did this horse, after a
new set of shoes.
Weak constitutes a degree of lameness
10 warrant an action by the S. P. C. A.
is still unsettled. The point of the case
was that the horse was not lame when it
left the stable but went lame suddenly as
a result of a poorly adjusted shoe while
being used. The case was decided against
Sweeney on the ground that he Disregard
ed the warning of the agent and a fine
of 81 was imposed. The costs of court
were remitted.

NOT A RAG TIME ARTIST.
Payne's Sobriquet Sounds Like It,
But He's Only bad Niger

1.-THE Lucky Coon With the Charmed
Life" is not the title of a rag-time song.
1t is the sobriouet of a negro, seventeen
years old, named Charles Payne, of No.
6S3 Montgomery street, who landed in the
First Criminal Court this morning for at
least the third time. His career, though
short, has earned for him the term, "A
bad niger
Payne is the boy who caused Prosecu-
tor Erwin many tears and such anguish
that he brought before the Grand Jury
a charge against Police Justice Nevin
and his clerk James Norton, to the effect
that papers pertaining to the arrest of
Payne on recent occasion had not been
presented to him for ten days after the
arrest. He said then that it was a
shame to keep a boy in jail for ten days.
Payne enjoyed short period of liberty
and was again arrested, charged with

Criminal Court to warrant Police Justice
Potts in holding him for the action of
the Grand Jury, which he did. Payne
"got away with it." as he expressed it,
and laughed at the police.
Payne was arrested yesterday on a
charge of entering with intent to steal.
The complainant is Samuel Snyder, a
clothier, of No. 800 Henderson street. Mr..
Snyder left his store for a minute in the
afternoon and returned with customer
to whom he showed several articles. In
searching for goods Mr.. Snyder found
Payne hiding under a desk and had him
arrested. Payne was held in default OF
$500 bail to await the action of the Grand

EXCITING ESCAPES
Hoboken Had a Tenement
House Fire Last
Night.

Sleeping tenants in the five story apart
ment dwelling at No. Ill Fourteenth
street, Hoboken, were aroused at two
o'clock this morning by the cry of fire.
Jumping from their beds to find the halls
choked with smoke, they beat a hasty
retreat to the rear fire escape.
Intense excitement prevailed by the
time the firemen arrived. Chief WINS APP
plegate and his men, with the aid of seal
ing ladders, began rescuing the women
and children, most of whom were in night
dress.
When dozen families had been carried
down to safety, a woman was seen with
a child in her arms on the top floor. Fire
man Gerrity lost no time in reaching her.
The woman Mrs. Mary Doyle, refused at
first to accompany him down the ladder,
and Gerrity only persuaded her to go
after much coaxing. Fourteen-year-old
Jennie Morris, in attempting to go down
the fire escape from the fourth floor,
slipped and fell to the floor below. She
/ escaped serious injury, having only an
injured ankle.
When the fremen were assured that all
the tenants were out they directed their
attention to the blaze. 1t had started,
they found in the grocery store of A.
Kruger on the ground floor. Chief Apple
gate fought the flames from front and
rear and after an hours hard work on the
part of the firemen the blaze was extin-
gushed.
The cause of the fire has not been as
certained. The building was damaged to
the extent of $1,000.
The department was called to this fire
about half an hour after it had returned
from another in the fiat at No.-1,213 Wash
ington street. An electric meter was the
cause of this blaze. which was put out
before much damage was done.

SAPHO
SUPPRESSED
Chief Murphy Refuses to
Allow It's Production in
This City.
WORSE THAN OLGA NETHERSOLE'S
"The Queen of the Boule-
varde" Said to Be an I'M
moral Performance.
WORSE THAN OLGA NETHERSOLE'S

Chief of Police Murphy has advised MI
George Samnnis, manager of the Academy
of Music. that he will stop the perform
anca of sSanho,, if it is attempted in this
city.
The management of the ACADEMY oi
Music has extensively advertised lor the
past week throughout the county that
Sapho, the much discussed dramatlzatloh
of Alphonse Daudet's novel, Will pc pray
ed at that house next week
Since the indictment of Olga Nethersole,
the actress. who created the role, and by
her extraordinary portrayal of the char
acter called down upon her head more
abuse and adverse criticism than has
ever been directed toward any other
actress in this country, the principal
cities of the country have refused to al
low a production of the play. Neverthe-
less one road company has persisted IN
playing it with more or less success on
the road for some time. This is the COM
pany that was booked for the local the
atre. 1t has finished a week in Newark
and is now playing to crowded houses at
the National Theatre of Philadelphia Its
engagement at the Quaker City will end
tomorrow night and it was the intention
to come direct here and open at the Acad-
emy on Monday night, playing the usual
two matinees and six evening perform
ances
What arrangements were made for sue
ceeding weeks is not known here, but II
il, unlikely that the bookings were very
extensive, as it is purely a matter of
chance as to whether the police of any
city will permit the play to be placed on
the boards.
In the Philadelphia house the advertis-
ing agents have made much of the open
ing scene, the bal masaue. the function
at which the principals meet, and the
spiral staircase scene, in which Sapho is
carried up in a glaringly indecent manner,
in that city. 1t is unlike the artistic
production given at the Knickerbocker
Theatre by Olga Nethersole and her COM
pany as it can be, and is in fact not
Sapho. but a version which is entitled
THE Queen of the Boulevarde.' In every
city that the play was presented the news
papers have denounced it as positively
TsVnltinge isl--its- -inaeeeney. The perform
ances in other cities are said TO have
outssripped the bounds of ordinary license.
The advertising locally carefully guard
ed the title 1.-The Queen of the Boule-
varde," and in glaringly large type set
forth the word "Sapho" This aroused
The police to action and Chief Murphy's
warning followed Since that time care
has been taken to insert as prominently
as possible the words, "Queen of the
Boulevarde, a version of sSapho.'"
Mr.. Sammis has not yet decided what
he will do in the matter and today he is
in consultation with theatrical people who
have become thoroughly conversant with
details in regard to this particular play.

PLEASANT FOR FORT.
Peculiar Clause in No. 1o5
Practically Pays His Office
Rent.

TRENTON, March %, 1s00.-Towards
the end of last nights session when
EVERYONE was tired and sleepy and ready
to do almost anything to get away, the
Republicans began their usual tactics of
rushing through important measures un-
der suspension of the rules. Among the
bills which they thus brought up were
the half-dozen or more measures provid-
ing for a reform in the mode of procedure
in the various courts of the State. The
Hudson members objected to this man
ner of passing important measures and
again and again asked Mr.. Wakelee to
explain the bills give the members some
idea of what the bills did. The young
leader sat in his seat and -disdainfully
ignored the request. The well trained Re-
publican majority followed their leader
like SO many sheep and the bills went
through.
In No. 105 the one dealing with the In
ferior Court of Common Pleas is clause
which is peculiar, to say the least. II
provides that it shall be lawful for the
Board of Chosen Freeholders of any coun-
ty to provide for the Judge of the In
ferior Court of Common Pleas suitable
room or chambers for the hearing of mo-
tions and ex-parte matters at place
other than the Court House, when in theil
Judgment the interest and convenience OF
the public will be promoted thereby, and
to cover the expense thereof in the same
manner as other current expenses Of the
said Board are provided for.
It is claimed that this clause practically
authorizes the Board of Freeholders tc
paw the office rent of the Judge of the
Common Pleas. 1t Is also pointed out
the Inferior Court of Common Pleas OF
Essex County and was a member of the
commission which prepared the bills.
