recover money loaned by the plaintiff to
Looney some time ago to the amount of
one Thousand dollars. Two hundred
dollars had been paid on this amount
and the balance was represented by a
note for eight hundred dollars given by
Looney to McGarrigle. The plaintiff
testified as to h, ,ecceiving the note fEqm
Looney, and Looney .. -..~ giving
o. the same. The defence endes. bred to
show the consideration for which the
note was given, but Judge Garretson
ruled that such evidence was incompe-
tent. The plaintiffs case rested with the
proving of the note and the fact that no
payments had been made thereon. In
defense it was proven that the money was
given to Looney by MEG 4rrigle to
be used in running poolroom in New
York City, and that McGarrigle was to
be a silent partner in the concern. 1t
was also proven that the money was
merely given to Looney SO that he might
show that he had backing and was finan-
ciaiiy responsible. He claimed that he
was merely the agent of McGarrigle in
the business and did not know what rent
was paid or what was paid to the police
for protection. Other witnesses testified
that Looney was only an agent and that
MEG arrigle was the real owner and that
the money was lost for McGarrigle him
self and not as Looney's money. Nc
Garrigle, in rebuttal, denied all the evil
dence which the defense had introduced
and thejury. after deliberatlng nearly
all day, returned verdict for Nc
Garrigle Tor the sum OF eight hnndi,u
and fifty dollars. Looney is under bond
for sixteen hundred dollars to answer
the amount of this Judgment and there
will probably be suit on this if the
judgment is not paid,

THE MINERS CONVENTION.

Heated Discussion Over Question of
Government Ownership.
Indianapolis, Ind, Jam %. = After
President Mitchell had opened the min
ers' convention the credential commit
tee seated practically all of the dele
gates. Delegates from unions that are
in arrears on assessments were seated
on promising that they would have
their unions pay up.
During the day there came a clash
between the conservative and socialist
ic factions. 1t originated in a resolu-
ton from local union favoring AN ex-
preston on government ownership of
the part of the conservatives to table
it brought on long discussion, and
many leaders of the two factions were
heard.
The socialistic faction based its ar
guments on the anthracite strike and
the combination of coal companies
and railroads and that tendency not
to treat with miners according to the
laws of man or Cod made it necessary
for the government to take some such
action.
Delegate Walker or Illinois said that
the coal companies and railroads We're
now in a combination injurious to the
interests of the people and were hold
ing back coal to boost prices. Delegate
Lusk of West Virginia also charged
heartless attitude Of coal operators
and railroads to not only the miners,
but to the people.
The controversy was finally referred
back to the committee.

fhe Coaster.

No galleon she NTH treasure stores, a
maxim round the Cape.
Nor a deep-sea cruiser laden with q
view to show her shape,
just pudgy, smudgy coaster, to hen
| gun'ales filled with brick.
And burrowing Of the briny like she
was derelic'
All her sails are patched and grimy, for
she doesn't care for show,
That the suit was sported, maybe. by
some yacht long time ago.
And her masts you might call rakish.
though its for'ard and not back,
Bein' mostly for the reason that her
standin' higgins slack.
She's a swearin', prayin' skipper, come
from some'eres down in Maine,
And the mate he is. an Irishman, for
ever raisin' Cain;
There's Swede and a Norwegian for
the hands before the mast.
With a half-breed cook distinguished for
a murder in his past,
she hugs the shore, the coaster, less it
flows livin' gale.
When she makes for the horizon lust as
fast as she can sail;
For where old Pint Judy P'int's long
arm pokes out mile or more.
Well-to find the ground is easier then
it is to get ashore.
Listen that's her keel a scrapin'i Now
her beam ends pound the slate.
And her deck loads topplin' oyer-with
it goes the Irish mate,
through the storm the shippers swearin'
sounds jest like a baby's cry,
For the sleet is beatin' on him, so he'll
soon choke up and die. Y
Coston lights are burnin' brightly, but
the breakers sweep between,
Cross the deck line comes swishing
but no jack shall haul it in;
For the Swede and the Norwegian, and
the half-breed sea cook, too,
Lashed along the weather riggin, all are
frozen through and through.
BY the wheel still stands the skipper,
waitin' for the Judgement Day,
Never more he'll turn spoke, and not
againg he'll swear or pray;
For fathom's length of tackle holds
him plenty hard and fast,
Whilst around both wheel and skipper
one white shroud of ice is cast.

the finish against Santa Claus as fea-
ture of Christmas programs in the Sun
day schools of New Jersey
A special committee has been investi-

use of such programs will be urged for

POOR TOSEE POPE CROWNED Plus X Anxious fer Their Presence. .vENETIANS 0vERJ0YED Don Carlos Again Looks To-
 ward Spanish Throne. The New PontiH Has Difaculty in Selecting . Papal Secretary of ts-Rampolla May
 Be Reappointed.

Rome, Aug. 7.-Gt. Peters Is closed while the preparations for the coronation next sunday are proceeding. Pope Plus x has expressed a desire to have as many of the humble members of the faith as possible admitted, and 5000 tickets will be distributed by the parish priests. Cath ollie clubs and associations, seminaries. ecclesiastical colleges. monasteries and convents. The remainder of the seats will be reserved for distinguished guests.
 Only two galleries have been erected one for the diplomatic body and one for the Roman aristocracy. The body of the church will be divided into compartments with separate entrances. Thousands are already leaving the Venetian provinces to attend the coronation of their Pope" The papal master of ceremonies has is- sued the invitations to the Archbishops and bishops who will participate Tn the procession from the Vatican into St. Pe- ter's. They are requested to be at the Vatican at 2 o'clock Sunday morning.
 Will Prevent Demonstrations.
 The government, to avoid untoward in- "s.s,s has dered the piazza and the neighborhood to be occupied by the mili-
 
 manifss'.l. n proposed by the socialists and republicans for that day.
 The Pope's first allocution to be deliv- cred at the next sacred conslstory Is look ed forward to with great interest.
 Don Carlos. the Spanish pretender. who Is a personal friend of Plus x, has said to his followers that he would not now have the papacy against him as he did under the pontiflcate of Leo, who was the god fathsr of King Alfonso, and has even gone so far as to say that he hoped the accession of the Pope would help him to the throne.
 pr. LapponI stated today that Cardinal Herrero y Espina was out of danger.
 Papal Secretary of State.
 The selection of q new PapaI Secretary of State Is daily becoming more compIi- eaAed as there is . division in the sacred college such as eixgted before the cleo ton of Plus X. There Is strong senti- ment in favor of the reappointment of Cardinal Rampolla. because he is conver- sant with all papal affairs and Cardinal Ferrata, who belongs to the Rampolla party, Is also suggested. Tne latter's op- ponents intimate that as he is nuncio at Paris. he might not be agreeable 10 some of the powers, and besides, ti Is pointed out that he voted against the Pope m the conclave, except on the last ballot.
 Plus offered the position twice to Car dInaI Agliardi, who declined to give up the Vice Chancellorship of the Church. Cardinal Satolli also declined on the ground that he was not sufficiently ac- quainted with the French language and that he knew too little of foreign ques- tions generally, except those relating to America. He suggested Cardinal Vim cenzo Vannutelli. NegotItions are pro- ceeding to have Cardinal Agiiardi. while retaining the Vice ChancellOrship, assume the secretaryship of State temporarily.

Says the Attack on Cleveland Shows Lack of poise and Balance @ on the Part of the
 Lincoln Man.

New York, Aug. 7.-(Special.) )-Eugene V. Brewster, the Brooklyn lawyer and the recognized Greater New York leader of the Bryan forces in two Presidential campaigns, tonight declared himself out of the Bryan camp for all time. He crit icized Bryan for his attack on Grover Cleveland and predicted the election of Roosevelt. MT. Brewster granted the in- terview at his residence.
 What do you think of Mir. Bryan's at- tack on Mir. Cleveland" he was asked.
 It convinces me-" he replied, that Mir. Bryan's boise and balance are lacklng. was disagreeably surprised when read MT. Bryan's speech. If had been a can- dldate for the presidency. I should con slider 1t beneath my dignity to call a former President bunco steerer. The speech delivered by MT. Bryan is not the only one of his speeches which has my disapproval. Four or five of his other re- cent ones have contained remarks which were distasteful to me-"
 ''who do you think will be the next Democratic nomineeT'
 '"I think the next Democratic nominee will be Grover Cleveland. Johnson is not to be considered and neither are German and Parker. If the party hopes to win, 1t must get back to the solid Cleveland principles or those of Jefferson. German practically sold the party out when
  form measures through.
 '"The only man I know of which could harmonize both factions of the party is Justice William J. GAynor of New York. Gaynor is popular in both camps. The fact that he is a favorite of the Bryanites is well illustrated by the fact that he pre- sided at the big Bryan meeting in Brook lyn. That he is also a favorite of the conservative element Is proved by the fact that he was elected to the Supreme Court bench on a reform, practically a Republican, ticket. He has served faith fully as Supreme Court Justice for ten years. He is known for his able decis- ions by all the lawyers and Judges throughout the country. He is a master of political economy, on which subject he has written many widely read articles
 What is your politics at present. Mir. Brewster?'
 T was born a Democrat and want to be one now. if I can, but I cannot en- dorse the Democratic party in its present shape"
 ''who do you think will be the next President"
 Theodore Roosevelt will be elected easily"

American Cardinal in Private An
 dienee With the Pope.
 Rome, Aug. 7-Cardinal Gibbons was received by the Pope today in private au- dience.
 In lengthy conference Plus x renewed his expressions of interest in America, al- ready made manifest by his reception Wednesday to the pilgrims from the United States. The Pope ssaid he should like to have had the cardinal remain in Rome for some time in order that he might become thoroughly acquainted with all questions connected with the United States, but hIs holiness did not insist, be- ing aware, he said, of the cardinals deli- cate state of health and his suffering from hot weather.
 In closing the audience, the pontin charged Cardinal Gibbons to carry the apostolic benediction to all the faithful of America.
 After his private audience Cardinal Gibbons presented to the Pope the Rev. Dennis O'Connell. rector and Father Charles P .Granna, professor of theology at the Catholic university at Washington, and Father P. c. Gavan, the cardinals s secretary. The Pope spoke most affably to each and said to Rector O'Connell that he knew the importance of the Catholic university at Washington and would do all possible to further It's interests and prestige.
 Cardinal Gibbons is somewhat indispos- ed, the weather having become intensely hot, still he is able to visit the churches of St. Peter and St. Paul. which, with yesterdays visit to Santa Maria di Tras- tevere was obligatory during his visit, which he must make every ten years.
