for the various parties who opposed in
reference by the court.
Col Sheffield stated the main points of
tho bill filed by Prof. Alexander Agassiz
and others against city council OF New
port, William K.VanderbiltJ Jr,and others.
This bill seeks 10 have the races restrain
ed and was nled by nine owners of prop
erty on the highways over which the race
was to take place.
The chief recitals were that n con-
spiracy had been Iormed to violate the
law that the city council had acted be-
yond its powers In giving leave TO hold
a race when the speed of the vehicles
would be some 40 miles an hour and that
the law of the state was to be violated
by the racers
ON behalf of the respondents afhdsvits
OF j. Cllnch Smith. William w. Marble,
Gertrude F. Ledyard, Catherine J. Gardi-
ner. Carolyn s. Fahenstock and Edith B.
Pomroy, were filed, TO the
effect that they were abut
tors on the avenues named ard did
not believe their property would be in
jured by the races. An affidavit Of Po-
lice Commissioners Bayright was read TO
the effect that the police would see the
law was not violated.
GENERAL WILSON'S ARGUMENT.
General Wilson then argued in behalf
of the respondents that the only opposi-
ton to the races was on sentimental
ground and because OF fears that some
injury might result There were no
grounds. he urged for equitable relief
and as to the charge that the law was
TO be violated he claimed court OF
equity would not interfere TO prevent a
dog fight, and IL could not properly do
so where the question was whether a
race should be held or not.
The performance OF police duty, he
urged. was no part OF the courts duty
the court OF equity had it's province and
so had the political departments or the
government The equity court had nc
right 10 step in and override the other
| departments Of the government.
As to the conspiracy point Gen. Wilson
| said there was no evidence OF any con
| spiracy the afndavits showed that th'
| law would be enforced and that many
| owners of land on the avenues named n
| the bill did not believe they would b'
damaged II the races took place.
| For the court 10 take action I'm this
matter would be 20 declare the polio,
would not do their duty and 10 presum'
| neglect Of the law by that department
was not justified. Criminal deeds were {,

few minutes when Miss Georgians Twigg.
house-kepsr for Mr.. Schultz heard one
of the children scream as though In
great terror.
She went to the window and glancing
upward, saw that smoke was issuing from
the windows OF the Dambruch tenement.
Instead or frantically wringins her
hands and Historically crying fire" she
ran upstairs and TO the bed room in
which the children were.
The tenement was thick with smoke
and livery fire appeared to be In pro-
grsss in the bedroom.
Miss Twigg having entered the room
and picking up all three children carried
them out OF the tenement.
She was none 10 soon and she had act
ed none too wisely, for while the children
escaped injury and were but partly over
come by smoke the baby's dress skirt
had been licked and scorched by a flame.
An alarm was rung in from box 65 and
the fire was soon extinguished.
The children had, by some means OBJ
tained matches. and playing with them
had set fire 20 a pile OF wearing material
which was I'm clothes press.
As soon as Lucy discovered what they
had done she screamed with fright, and
thus had luckily given an alarm TO Miss
Twigg.
The damage 10 the building was incon-
seauential; the loss on clothing was
about SIS.

TO WRECK
TROLLEY
CARS.
Three Attempts Made TO Cause
Accident on tho Daniel
sonVIIIo Road.

Three attempts have been made to
wreck cars on the Danlelson route just
this side of North scituate and each has
been frustrated.
The dastardly work has been at a short
switch, just before the cars enter tina
town OF North Soituate. The hrst at
tempt was Thursday night of last week.
when the fish plate OF the switch was
taken out
The escond attempt was made by put
ting stones I'm the groove OF the frog
so that the motorman would be unable to
use his switch bar and the third on Sat
urday night. when a heavy iron nut and
bolt were used at the frog instead Of =
stone. This was Monday night. The
first attempt was discovered by a spare
car man who was at tho switch waiting
for a car to return TO the city and whsn
he found the fish plate was gone he ran
a head TO meet tho car and succeeded
in stopping IL in time TO prevent an &c
cider. Passengers who we're waiting fer
cars and had heard of the frst attempt,
naturally examined the tracks and In this
way the plans of the miscreants were dis
covered.
IL looks as II AZ was the intention OF the
perpetrators TO have two cars come to-
gether on this switch, for, should car
| be going at any fair rate % speed IL would
| crash into a car waiting on the other
track, providing cars were on time, and
all work has been done on the end of the
switch nearest Pocasset
The motive is not known, but some per-
sons believe a couple of young Italians
who we're summarily dismissed by the
contractor are the culprits and others
think that IL is the work of an insane
person.
A watch has been placed along the line
and no efforts will be spared to find the
guilty persons and the nut and bolt
found on the track may possibly land the
person or persons who have been guilty
OF committing such an outrageous act.
Had there have been an accident Monday
night Il is possible that the results would
J have been serious, for both cars were on
time a little late and for some reason
both cars were we'll niled.

AMERICAN
Locomotives Are In Favor With
the Japanese.

New York. Aug 2s.-The American To-
comotive has found favor with Japanese
railroad officials according TO the COR
respondent OF the Tribune at Kobe. The
superintendent of the ssnyo company at
that point says
1--WE don't intend to order any more
English engines for the present. Our
principal reasons are that we cannot get
them quickly enough and that they cost
half as much again az American engines.
Orders to English makers are filled In
from nine TO twelve months time, while
American manufacturers supply them in
from seven to nine months after accept
ance of tender. The fuel consumption
comes out about the same with the Amer
lean and the British engine"
