TRUCK DRIVER FINED.
Minister Pleads for His As
sailant, But Judge
Gives a Lesson.

Drivers of trucks who consider their
seats thrones from which they may look
down on ordinary pedestrians and even
run them down, were given a lesson this
morning Acting Police Justice McCor-
mack showed them what their fate would
be should they fall into the hands of the
police. In the First Criminal Court, Harry
Moore, the colored driver who was ar
rested for lashing she Rev. T. E. Mont
Church, Thursday, was fined $40 and costs
of court, in all $15 The penalty was
light because the complainant appeared
in court and pleaded for Moore.
Moore is driver for Contractor Van
Keuren. In the course of the parade of
the Sunday school children, Thursday, he
was prevented from driving into the chill
dren of the John Knox Church by Mr.
Montgomery, who grasped the horses
bride and held it while the driver rained
blows on his body with the whip Then
Moore walked away. He was arrested
however, by Sergeant Booth and arraign-
ed yesterday before Justice Mccormick
Mr.. Montgomery gave his testimony as
matter of public service and he was
very convincing. MOORE asked for an ad-
journment until today so that he might
have an opportunity of bringing witnesses
in his behalf The adjournment was
granted, but no witnesses appeared for
Moore except Mr.. Montgomery, who
pleaded for the prisoner. Moore paid the

TAMMANy IN THE PALISADES
Tigers Said to Be Looking for a
Substantial Rake OF.

The sudden activity in the Gallingan
quarry on the Palisades, which has
aroused the wrath and indignation of the
friends of the plan to preserve the noble
rocks in all their primitive beauty, is said
ITO be nothing more or less than an at
tempt of Tammany Hall to get share
of the money appropriated in the States
of New York and New Jersey for the pur-
chase of the land necessary to make the
proposed Palisades Park. The Gillingan
quarry, it is said, is not a paying institu-
tion, owing to the fact that owing to COM
petition the crushed stone market is over
stocked and there is no money in the busl-
ness. Brown & Flemming, of Broad and
South streets, New York City, are promi-
nent Tammany contractors, who have
obtained control by lease or otherwise the
Gillingan quarry. They are blasting out
the rock and making a great show of do
ing large business, so that when the
Commissioners come to condemn the
land required for the park they can
claim to be doing a valuable business and
get a much larger amount for the prop
erty than it is really worth. 1t is said
on good authority that the entire proper
iy, including machinery and plant is not
worth over $4,000, and it has an s11, ,00G
mortgage upon it,

NEW TESTAMENT CHAIR VACANT
Prof. Melancthon Jacobus Refuses
the Call to Princeton.

Professor Melancton w. Jacobus of Hart
ford Theological Seminary has declined
the call to become professor of New Tes-
lament literature in Princeton Theologi-
cal Seminary, to which position he was a
second time elected by the board of di-
rectors last commencement day.
1t seems that one of the directors
thought that it had received an intima-
ton from some source that Professor ia
cobus had changed his mind and that if
called to Princeton the second time he
would respond. The director SO inform
ed the board and forthwith Professor Ja-
cobus received an unanimous election. He
was given hearty greeting by all the
members of the faculty, and it was
thought that he would surely come, but
to a member Of the faculty who visited
Hartford a short time since DIR. Jacobus
declared that he had again decided not TO
leave Hartford for Princeton or McCor-
mick. His reasons for so concluding have
not been made public.
There was much disappointment iii
Princeton and among the friends of the
seminary at this second failure There
is great need that successor to DR.. Pur-
YES should be secured. This is one Of the
most important chairs in the Theological
Seminary-one from which many of tho
students in past years, during the incum-
benches Of Drs. Hodge and Purves, re-
ceived the greatest amount Of material
for their help in the ministry For some
reason very few Of the students Of the
seminary: Last year many Of them went
