Chief Justice O'Dwyer presided over the

Conlan, Mccarthy. Hascall, Seabury and
Green AT its conclusion Mr.. Smith said:
THE Justices say that there are no charges
against any OF the clerks with respect to

has been no question raised that any money
belonging to the city has been misappro-
priated, and no such charges arc con-
templated They have directed me to
prefer charges against the four Trial Term
clerks for misconduct in accepting fees

TO take.

the four clerks, it Is understood that they
relate 10 the Sherid's Term fee of 81. which

MILLERS SETTLE OUT OF COURT.
Only Unhappy Man IL the Sheriff, Who
Can't Get His PoundaEe.

/ A decision made by Supreme Court Jus
| tice Truax yesterday revealed that the
| legal differences existing between Mrs.
/ Sarah c. Miller and her husband, Charles
| Q. Miller OF Long Branch, have been settled
out of court Her suit to compel him 90
deliver over to her 5000 900 worth Of bonds
which she alleged he was unlawfully keep
ing from her has been discontinued.
Mrs. Miller is IS years old and her hus-
band in the neighborhood OF co. She was
well known in Pittsburg before their mar
riage ten years ago. and he had made a
fortune In the rubber business. About
year ago Mrs Miller went to Denver
and on her return. about Christmas time,
there was falling out between the couple
and Mrs. Miller went TO live with q sister.
while her husband stayed in Long Branch.
Mrs Miller alleged in her suit that she
became the owner Of the disputed bonds IN
1899, and that, ut her husbands request.
she deposited them with the Mercantile
Safe Deposit Company, on the under
standing that tho box stood in their joint
names. Each received a key and they
both visited the vaults and clipped coupons.
About year ago. Mrs. Miller alleged, ut
her husbands request, abe turned over
her key to him for fear she might osa it.
On her return from Denver she went to
the deposit vaults, but admissionwas refused
to her because she had no key. When
she called again, with a key she was told,
she said. that she was no longer the holder
OF the box and had no right Of access to II.
Some time later she said, she made do
mand on her husband for the bonds, but
he refused TO give them TO her. She then
charged him with converting them to hIs
own use
On the strength OF her complaint. Mrs.
Miller procured an attachment with which
the Sheriff levied on the contents OF the
safe deposit box valued at about $500. 600
That was on Jan. last. but by Feb. %
the Millers had got together again and
agreed to drop the suit Accordingly, an
order of discontinuauce was entered. and
the attachment was vacated
But when Miller went 10 get his property
he found the Sheriff's seal still on the box.
The Sheriff demanded his poundage fees,
amounting to 81. 275 before he would release
the bonds Miller protested that he. as
defendant, was not responsible for the fees,
the suit having been discontinued. Failing
TO move the Sheriff by these representa-
lions, Miller applied to Justice Truax for
an order directing the Sheriff to release
his levy In support OF this application
he made an atiida Wit that the suit had been
discontinued, without any consideration
passing between the parties. Miller's
counsel said that the Sheriff must look TO
Mrs. Miller, the plaintiff. for his poundage.
Justice TruaS. taking this view OF It. has
directed Sheriff Er.anger to put Miller in
pos session of his bonds.

When all was in readiness the magazines
were connected with battery several
hundred feet beyond the edge OF the cliff.
The button was pressed by Miss Jano
