ROUTINE BUSINESS DONE.
The Meeting of Council Was as Other
Meetings With Little other Than
the Routine Business Being
Transacted.

When President Matthews called
Council to order Tuesday night, he
made a short address, in which he
called attention to the lax discipline
that had existed in that body. He felt
that Council should observe the ordi-
nary parliamentary rules, and at least
rise and address the chair when max
ing motions or speaking upon matters
before the body. He felt that this
was due him from the fact that it
was impossible for a presiding officer
to properly fulfill his mission if men,
bers simply sat still and made motions
without attempting to distinguish
themselves by rising. If the members
would do this, President Matthews
felt that it would be of great assist
ance to him, and he would not be
subject to the attacks and criticisms
of the News reporter who attended
Council.
Just what the Fourth ward states
man thought of this matter will prob
ably never be known. After the ad-
dress of the President, Mr.. Nichols
arose and said, "Mr. President, if 1
am in order?''
"Well, Mr.. Nichols, replied the
President.
"Well," returned Mr.. Nichols,
"Am in order'?'
ST don't know" answered Presi-
dent Matthews, "until know what
you are to say"
81 propose to address myself re-
garding these rules as laid down by
you,'' said the former Justice.
"Then I decide you out of order"
ruled the President, for majority
of Council concur in my view"
AS ne sank wearily in his seat, Mr..
Nichols gasped, "That shows the
chair is all one sided.
And the incident closed
Later there were a few other re-
marks ON the side. Mr.. Powell was
telling Council that the Finance
Committee would not approve any
more bills for electric lights, after
the appropriation was exhausted, and
turning toward the editor of the Pa
triot remarked, ''even if Mr.. Chees-
man does say that we do.
81 never said so, replied the edi-
tor. 81 say it has been done.
Eyes you did, . retorted Mr.. Pow
ell, and Mr.. Nichols Clipped in on
the Patriot editor with "You say al
together too much.
President Matthews banged the
gavel and declared all out of order,
and another incident was closed.
The absentees in Council last night
were Messrs. Ackley, Butler and
Conner.
The previous minutes of the session
were read and promptly approved.
The building applications granted
by the Mayor during the month We're
read and his action was confirmed.
A petition was presented TO Council
from A. L. Robson Post, No. 40, G..
A. R. asking for the $500 appropria-
tion for Memorial Day observance.

[From Daily Pioneer, Wednesday, May 1bJ
This delightful day finds the Cum
berland County Court House crowded
to overfowing with people personally
interested in criminal matters, to-
gether with those who are usually in
attendance during term, as curious
spectators.
All the jurors are back to-day, and
if all of the indictments are moved,
they will be here for some time, for
there are numerous trials before the
business of the session is complete.
That Prosecutor Fithian will not
have everything his own way during
the present term, is indicated by the
able counsel that various persons in
dicted have secured for their defense.
This is especially true in the Mill
vile illegal liquor cases, where the
defense will be looked after by John
S. Mitchell and Samuel Iredell. A
vigorous fight will be made in regard
to those people, as the cases are par
ticularly important, at least to the
defendants themselves.
Before the trial of cases proceeded
Prosecutor Fithian charged these de-
PENDANTS:
Charles Riley, larceny of copper
wire, guilty.
Rudolph Stiles, breaking and enter
ing with intent to steal. Not guilty.
Prosecutor Fithian then moved the
indictment of the State against Mary
Webb and her daughter They are
charged with maintaining a disor-
derly house.
Upon one occasion, George Chees-
man, the first witness, said he had
heard profane language as it was ut
tered at the Webb house.
Hannah Huling was a more positive
witness. Her home was next door to
the Webb house, and she had seen
ginger and beer drank there by a
party of men, and had heard loud
cursings. Upon one occasion she had
witnessed free fight there in which
Mrs. Webb was a participant and the
scrap caused Mrs. Webb's daughter to
have a fit. She characterized the
house as annoying to the neighbor-
| hood.
The testimony of Daniel Hulings
was just as severe upon the Webb out
fit as that given by his wife. He had
witnessed the scrap and the fit spe-
cialty of the daughter. This latter
turn was given in the back yard of
the Webb property. Annoyed beyond
measure Mr.. Hulings went to Mrs.
Webb and complained that the house
was very repugnant to him, and Mrs.
Webb gave him very plainly to under
stand that it was none of his bust
ness. There were times, Hulings
described, when drunken men gath
cred about the house and tried to
break in, all the while bowling around
for Mrs. Webb or her daughter.
An attempt was made by the State
to have police officer Betchner testify
i as to the reputation of the woman,
but an objection from her counsel,
Mr.. John S. Mitchell, was sustained
by the Court
Other witnesses were called, giving
testimony concerning the case, some
of it Indifferent in character, and the
State concluded it's case.

[From Daily Pioneer, Tuesday May AL
The session of Court yesterday con-
tinued pretty much all day, the
license application from Mauricetown
taking nearly all of the time.
During the afternoon, Prosecutor
Flthian appeared before the Court
and asked leave to charge a number
of prisoners.
A big bunch was taken over from
Jail, and there were a few present
who are under bail.
+ Those who offered pleas are as fol
lows:
Noah Lockerman, abuse of infant,
not guilty.
Nellie West, maintaining a disor-
derly house, not guilty.
Edward Moore and Frank Ward,
fighting, not guilty.
William Quinn, and Samuel Carter
breaking, entering and stealing, not
guilty.
William Coggins, disorderly house,
not guilty.
Thomas jackson, gambling, not
guilty.
Harry Frisbee, hiring livery rig by
deceit, not guilty.
Anna Jones, forgery, not guilty.
Anna wanted to explain that she car
ried the forged note, but she did not
write. The Court ordered her plea
of not guilty entered.
George Hughes, larceny, guilty.
Albert Facemair, abuse of infant,
two indictments, not guilty.
A number of persons who were not
indicted by the Grand Jury, and were
under bonds, had their bail released.
The Mauricetown application for
license was then brought up and con-
tinued through most of the afternoon.
Tuesday Morning.
More defendants appeared before
Judge Trenchard this morning to en-
ter pleas to the indictments fonud
against them by the recent Grand
Jury.
According to the pleas entered, all
of these gentlemen are innocent, and
the Grand Jury must have been mis-
informed concerning their cases.
Anyway each of the indicted ones
plead not guilty and if they don t
change their mind and retract that
plea, Prosecutor Fithian won't have
an opportunity to try for any of the
big fish which bite early in June.
Here are the gentlemen who an
swered indictments this morning,
together with their pleas:
Fred Wilson, assault and battery,
not guilty.
Alfred Demby, larceny, not guilty.
Mayer Wasman, illegal sale of
liquor, not guilty.
lone Terry, illegal sale of liquor,
not guilty.
Richard Randolph, assault, not
guilty.
Benjamin Mulford, malicious mis-
chief, not guilty.
Albert Quaroli, illegal sale of
liquor, guilty.
Hannah Griner, disorderly house,

George Schlachter, illegal sale of
liquor, not guilty.
