ADDICKS PAY

Large Steaks and Groceries
Furnished Him

Meyer, a cook who appeared TO act in
the capacity Of steward.
1t was the contention Of Mr.. Addicks
that he had given instructions that
cash was to be paid for all purchases
and that he had not authorized anybody
TO contract bills in his name.
Edward j. Holt, mariner, as he des-
cribed himself, was a typical son Of the
sea and his large hands we're much dis
played as he told his emphatic story of
the way he had to take orders from the
engineer Coppinger, whom he plainly
held In great contempt
you were discharged, were you nOt?"
asked Paul NJ. Turner, counsel for Mr..
Addicks.
Il don't know" replied the master
mariner, Il don't care. wouldn't work
for man like that"
Cook Had Served Astor.
Meyer. the cook, prefaced his account
of The transaction by announcing that
he had served Colonel John Jacob AS
tor, Lloyd Phoenix and James Stillman.
'Mr Coppinger was the boss" said
the witness. THE captain on that
yacht had nothing to say. Mr.. Addicks
told me to get the best the market af-
forded and / did. He was pleased, too,
with what | cooked. Mr. Addicks was
a man without pride. When he saw any
of us he would say, Hello, Bill. how
you was?' Hello, Mike. how you do to-
day?' ! did as Mr. Coppinger said about
buying things.
Mr. Addioks said he gave no author
| ity to contract debts" suggested the
Judge
Il don't know" replied the witness.
''Mr. Addicks is a gentleman and IL he
says it's so IL must be true. All | know
Is that Coppinger told me to buy and
have the things charged and Mr.. Ad-
dicks said that Coppinger was in
charge"
The grocer, his clerk and his delivery
boy testified TO the purchase and the
butchers told of the fondncss Of Mr..
Addicks for large and thick porterhouse
steaks.
Mr.. Addcks, when the judge found
against him, rose and asked the court
what a yacht owner was TO do IL his en-
ployes bought supplies contrary to his
I instructions. Judge Murray said that
If Mr. Addicks had any redress II should
be from his employees.

UNION COMPANY BILL
HELD UP IN COMMITTEE

At a meeting of the Union Fire Com
pany last night, it was decided to close
the membership books indefinitely. A
number of members expressed them
selves forcibly i'm reference to the man
ner i'm which the bill of the organiza-
tion for an appropriation in the Legis-
lature being held up TO further the in
terests OF another company.
There is much Indignation among
the people living in the southwestern
section of the city over the matter, and
there will be an effort made to have the
bill passed i'm Dover. Why it should be
held up is beyond the comprehension of
Twelfth ward residents.as the company

New York. Feb. 10.-J. Edward Ad-
dicks came yesterday from the turbu-
lent sea Of Delaware politics to try con-
clusions with grocer and butcher
who had attached his yacht, the Wis
ion, now lying at City Island, because
he had refused to pay bills for supplies
which had been ordered by his em-
ployes.
In the Tenth District Court Judge
Murray decided adversely to the seeker
after senatorial honors and ordered that
be pay the debt and costs. The Magis-
trate however. consented TO vacate the
attachment on the Vision.
Mr.. Addicks, who when he went to
the court in the morning. was disposed
TO be vexed, ended the day in serenity
of spirit. Although there were two
verdicts against him he went away
smiling. for the type of New Workers
he had seen in his long wait for justice
greatly diverted him.
He arrived at the West Flfty-fourtl
Street Court House shortly after min,
o'clock and remained there, with tn,
exception of an interval for luncheon
until after five o'clock Then the judge
in view of the fact that ne had come sC
far, consented to hear the differences
between him and the tradesmen.
Diversion for Addiol<s.
Mr. Addicks during the day had beer
entertained by a displte over face pow
der, a quarrel between an Irish care
taker and a house owner, and an in
volved dispute over whether or not ;
landlord owed a tenant fifteen days
rent.
Both OF the cases against the Della
ware politician were in the hands o
one lawyer, and the testimony wal
much the same in each. Frank j. Wal

demanded s15067, and his neighbors
Jaeger and zudreele, butchers. of Nc
