Company 10 70 he the Next Move.
That tho differences between the dis
satisfied motormen on tho elevated rail-
roads and the marlborough Rapid Transit
Company ought to be easily adjusted with
out strike Is tho opinion Of First Grand
Engineer T. 8. Ingraham Of the Brotherhood
Of Locomotive Engineers. who came hero
yesterday to take charge Of affairs ON be-
half Of the men.
Mr.. Ingraham Is not unlike the late Chief
p. M. Arthur Of the engineers In appear
ance. He u acting in place Of Grand
Chief Stone.
Mr.. Ingraham met the members Of tho
grievance committee Of tho motormen
and fremen by appointment in the Broad
way Central Hotel at 2 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon. It was expected that Grand
Chief j. j. Hanahan Of the Brotherhood
Of Locomotive Firemen or . substitute
would be heard from, but though tele-
grams were sent all over the country for
him he could not be reached.
w. L. Jencks. chairman Of tho grievance
committee, put Mr.. Ingraham In pos
session Of all matters in dispute from the
mems point Of view yesterday. Others
followed and were inclined to be discursive.
but Mr. Ingraham pinned them down to
the facts.
The conference came to q standstul at
SIS, as until Grand Chief Hanahan was
heard from nothing more could be done.
Ingraham said in answer to Sun reporters
questions:
Judging from my present knowledge
should think strike unlikely. It looks
to me now as II matters could be adjusted
without a strike.
'Of course have heard only one side
and can make no predictions on an ex parte
statement. When see the officials OF tho
company and hear their side will be pre-
pared to say something definite
Mr.. rngrahcm said he would not 60 b.
fore the officials Of tho marlborough COM
pany until the representative OF the Grand
Lodge of the firenen was on the ground.
Asked II the motormen, who were no
longer working as engineers, were entitled
- the same privileges in his order as men
who remained engineers, he said:
Precisely the same, as long as theyhold
brotherhood cards The fact that they
are now motorrnen does not affect In any
way their relations with the brotherhood.

ance to Lawyer Ambrose II. Purdy.
Compt roller CIRCUITS contention that Sec
ton 30s OF the Code of Criminal Procedure,
which provides for the payment Of a rea-
sonable compensation to counsel who are
assigned to defend prisoners accused Of
capital offences, is unconstitut ional was
rejected yesterday by majority decision
OF the Appellate Division.
Justice Hatch writes the prevailing opin-
ion, and Justices Patterson and Laughlin
concur. 1t was said yesterday, however,
that one OF the concurring Justices had
changed his mind at the last moment, on
reading Justice Hatch opinion. though he
had previously agreed with Justices Ingra"
ham and Van Brunt that the statute in
question was unconstitutional.
The matter arose on an appeal from Sl-
preme Court Justice Mac1ean's order di-
recting the Comptrollerto pay Ambrose H.
Purdy, or his assignee, Frank Accritelli,
$500 for his services in defending Carmine
De Medicis who was tried for murder and
acquitted.
the only question is whether Section S0S il
in violation of Article VIII Section 10, Of the
State Constitution, which prohibits the pay
ment Of any sum by a county. town or
village for the benefit OF en- individual,
save in the aid and support Of tho poor.
II the appropriation of public money for
the defence of an individual accused OF
capital crime and who cannot employ
counsel is to be considered as for his benefit
solely then it is clearly unconstitutional.
The policy of the State, says Just ice Hatch,
has always been not to permit plea ofguilty
to be entered in capital case. It is the
supreme obligation Of the State to see that
no citizens life is taken under any circum-
stances save as he has forfeited the Same
through some felonious act, or where his
continued existence imperis the stability
OF the overnment. Where, then, this
interest OF the State in the life of citizen
requires protection the Constitution au-
thorizes the appropriation OF public funds
for the purpose. 80 that its obligation to
safeguard life and property may be prop

Special Cable Despatch to TIM SIN.
PORTSMOUTH, Oct. 23.--The battleship
Neptune broke adrift to-day and ran into
Nelson's flagship Victory. which was, how
ever, saved.
The Neptune, which was built in 1878 and
is practically obsolete, was being towed to
the Thames to be broken up. The hawser
between her and the towing vessel parted
and she struck training brig. Then she hit
the Victory on the port quarter, making
hole six feet long in the hull.
The crew Of Nelson's old battleship stood
at quarters and made desperate efforts to
check the influx Of water. The water gained
on them, however, and the vessel began to
fill rapidly.
While the Neptune was adrift she be-
came entangled with the old battleship
Hero, which suffered some damage.
Six tugs were sent to the assistance OF
the Victory and she was successfully docked.

White Man Who Killed Chharley
 Lewis Acquitted.
 C. W. Tarleton, charged with the mur- der of Charley Lewis. a negro, was yes terday released from custody after a pre- Iiminary hearing before Justice W. s. Stokes. the verdict being 'justifiable homicide"
 Monday evening Lewis was shot by Tareton near the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad coal chutes in North Mont gomery. Tarleton surrendered to the au- thorities and was released on bond. Tho next day the negro died, the ball from the pistol of Tarleton having penetrated his abdomen.
 The evidence introduced yesterday showed that the negro had aggravated Tarleton with impertlnent and offensive speech and threats and also fired on him with a pistol. After the first shot both parties exchanged fire several times with no result and it was the last shot fired by the white man that felled Lewis.
 The trouble seems to have arisen from an opprobrious epithet used by Tarleton to a white man which the negro took upon himself.
 Only States witnesses were examined the justice announcing that there was no need of the defendant introducing evil dence as he had decided that the case was clearly one of self-defensa
The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-03-01

If the river here goes even to forty-flve Feet it means a stage of thirty-one feet higher than when the rain began Friday morning.
 At Rome, Ga, yesterday the rise was a little over nineteen feet, with similar rise at Milstead. and a rise of eighteen feet at Wetumpka.
 As shown by this river statement. the rise in the Tallapoosa and upper Coosa rivers was slowing up somewhat. How ever, it is expected that the estimated stages for points below Gadsden will be fully reached, if not slightly exceeded: this means that the water will not go as high here and at Wetumpka or Selma as it did about two weeks ago, when it reached 4S.6 feet at Montgomery.
 Owing to the last flood having left the bottoms quite wet, very little live stock has as yet been returned to the river bottoms, Nevertheless. the river warn ings will be of great value to those living
