Taken to Jail To-day.
 The case of Lewis Garter for rape on Mrs B. c. Stevens was heard in the city court to-day by Judge Burpee. The court decided the details should not be given to the public and accordingly excluded everyone from the room ex- cept those directly concerned, such as witnesses and police officials. Garter was defended by Judge Lowe
 There were dramatic scenes during the hearing. Mrs Stevens lost her temper and would have struck the ac- cused but for interference. She could not be confined to the rules Of the court, her indignation was reused to such an extent, while on the other hand Garter loudly and warmly de- nounced one of the witnesses. In the Stevens case probable cause was found and he was bound over to the June term of the superior court under bond of $1O,OO0.
 Garter was then charged with at tempt to rape Philomene Stadtm1ller, the 15-years-old daughter of Superin- tendent Stadtmiller of the Blake & Johnson's factory This crime is said to have taken place last Saturday evening. Garter, 1t was testified, pulled the little girl into the brush on the roadside. Probable cause was also found in this case and he was bound over under bond of $5,00O. Between two other prisoners Garter was taken to fail. He was given additional escort to the depot as protection against pos Gible violence.
 Daniel Corr was fined $20 and costs and sentenced to 30 days in jail for in toxication and resisting Officer Cassin. Corr insisted he was not drunk.
 A case against Charles Joseph was thrown out of court. Joseph was charged with breach of the peace in throwing down his fellow boarder, Mary Bernie It appeared Mary was sitting in chair at window when Charles entered the room and pushed the chair from under her in fun. It resulted in giving the girl a very black eye. 1t was so very difficult to get at all the particulars and the complainant not appearing very aggressive in the matter the case was dismissed.
 Yesterday morning a complaint for assault against William Wright was nolled without inquiry in the partfcu- lars, according to Attorney Guilfoile, who asked the court this morning to instruct the prosecutor to reopen the matter. MT Guilfoile thought 1t mat ter meriting severe punishment. The complainant. Frank DeLucia, met his nephew, a boy of 15 years, at the Bank street depot Saturday. He had just arrived from Italy and they proceeded down the, railroad track. On the way they were accosted by some railroad men and they claim to have been as- saulted. The boys right eye was very much discolored this morning in court. Yesterday Dr Ligouri had scene with Attorney Durant, over the matter. The doctor is spokesman for large num- Der of his countrymen and he took the matter to headquarters. He was ac- companied by his cane and he intended making things fly at the prosecutor's 8 office, but the prosecutor made no apology nor gave him any satisfaction. Judge Burpee, replying to MT GuiIfoile said he could not order cases brought before himself. There was no such case before him, he had never heard of 1t before. MT Guilfofle said he was well aware of this; that was the req son he brought the matter up; he thought the prosecutor should be in- structed by the court to reopen the case. The court replied that even so if was not matter for public discussion and he would think it over. Prosecutor Durant said he would like to be heard but the court said he did not care tc hear him and that. settled 1t for the present at all events
