The leading feature of the trial of
the trespass case of Attorney John r.
Martin against the Delaware and Hud-
son company yesterday was the re-
quest Of the attorneys for the defend
ant company to have a juror with
drawn and the case continued for a
year. This request was presented just
before the noon recess and after the
case for the plaintiff had been rested
Judge Jessup in presenting the re-
quest. said that 1t had been shown by
the witnesses for the plaintiff that he
is insane, and IL such is the case he
ought to have a committee appointed
to look after his affairs. He thought
1t unfair to compel the company to
pay a verdict to the PLAINTIFF in this
case and possibly afterwards have to
settle again with the committee.
Judge Burlington took the matter
| under consideration and said that he
would give his ruling on it later. In
the meantime he directed that the case
be proceeded with.
DIR. John O'Malley was the first wit
ness called yesterday morning and told
of treating Martin after the accident
and of participating in an examination
of the plaintiff at his fathers home in
Easton. He gave it as his opinion
that Martin Is incurable.
DR.. w. +. Connors. an eye special
list. testified that he made an exam
lnation of Martin and found that his
eyesight is greatly impaired and that
he is unable to distinguish colors. Ho
attributed the trouble with the plain
tiff's eyes to some serious nervous
disorder. DR.. G.. y. Murray also testi-
fled that there is a serious defect in
Martins eyesight at present

full. For twenty seven miles, to Tien
Tsln, the country is a mere mud
fiat, but the river is naviga5le for
ships Of eleven feet draught. AS
far as this the railroads leads close
to the river, on the north side, the
same side as Taku, or Tan-Ku, a
village a mile from the forts, where
it starts. Tisn-Tsin is reached by
a bridge, which is intact as far az
reported, and the troops seem to be
fighting across the rlver, on the
south or city side. From here the
railroad and the cart road Ediverge
somewhat from the river and each
other, but keep north of it till.the
railroad crosses it ON a fine bridge at
Yang-tsung, where are also railroad
shops. This is only eighteen miles
from Tien-Tsin, and the bridge
must nave been intact when Sev.
mour crossed, though probably ever
ything is destroyed noto. Lang
Fang, the station achere' he seems to
have been stopped, is forty miles,
just half way to Pekiu, or Ma-Pia :
Ku, the last station, near the sout-
hern gate. There are two cart rout-
es, one inundated In the rainy season
[autumn], the other that which the
British troops took in 1860, the
Chinese making their last stand at
Chang. .Ohia-Wan. The country is
cultivated but fiat, subject to floods
and often deep in mud. The whole
distance from Tlen.Tsin is eighty
miles, from Tang-Ku 107. Reaching
the capital, the force will find it
surrounded by walls fifty feet thick
and forty feet nigh, though modern
troops would make nothing Of seal
ing them or forcing the gates. The
British legation, in which it is prob
able that all the foreigners living
have assembled, is little interior
fortress of itself. The compound
has five acres, is surrounded by
wuel- built wall, and contains seve-
raj buildings, some of European
constructions. 1t is usually sup
piled ,oith stores enough to stand
long siege.
