Ferry Has a Hard Time.
IN NEW YORK.
Commerce Of the Metropolis
Crippled by the Zero Weather
Ice Blocks Everything and
Some Ferries Suspend.

! Because of the large ice foes in the
sound today nearly all Of the local and
Tottenville tugbosts are tied up and
this morning the ferryboat Warren
had great difficulty in keeping up her
schedule.
The ice began TO form early yesser
day morning and all efforts Of thp
boats to keep the sound open wefb
fruit less. At the Lehigh Valley docks
no coal is being shipped to New York
and the Pennsylvanis tows from
South Amboy have been compelled To
abandon the trips.
Two tugs had collision while try-
ing to break the ice at Port Reading
yesterday afternoon. Both, il 10 saids
! were badly damaged and will have u
go on the dry dock.
A large feet of schooners are..held up
because of the ice and If the present
cold snap keeps up it will be some
little time before they can get ont A
big steamer is anchored on the blum
because the ice outsioe is so ban that
she cannot get away.
Local tugboat men. who have worked
on these waters for years, say that
the ice yesterday and today is the
worst that it has been for long time.
The tug James Lawrence, of this
city, and the Staten Island ferry boat
Castleton got caught in the ice in the
East river yesterday after noon and it
was some hours before they could get
loose.
The local pilots had trouble yestsr-
day in bringing in boats and 1t is e
pec'ed that today they will not be 2
TO do any work at all.
The tie up seems to be general
it will mean the loss of thousands
dollars to tugboat men, shippers an
railroad companies !.
| Harbor and sound travel about New
York was badly tied up by the ice In
the river, and ferry travellers across
rhe East river aud to South Brooklyn
had trouble all day yesterday.
Of Whitesroue, L. l., where there
is less tide than in the waters immedi
ately adjacent into the CITY, thd
steamer Old Dominion, of the Jos.

night and was still there late las

SERIOUS CONDITION.
The Boy Has One Of the Worst
Forms of Insanity Not Re-
SpOnsihIe for His Acts.
Sbecial 10 Ire Evcxang New5.


New Brunswick, Feb. 4:--The testi
mony Of DIR. W. f. Ramsay, Of Perth
Ambny, witness caled by the state,
saved John ]. Laughton, boy seven
teen years of age, from being con
victed, YESTERDAY, OF attempting to
assault Ethel Hall, aged fourteen, On
the public highway On the outskirts
Of the city. The defense to the charge
was that the boy because OF his men
tai condition, wss not responsible for
his actions and the boy, when called
to the stand, told Of having no renem.
brance of having committed any crime
as alleged. He also said he had dizzy
spells which made him unconscious.
DR.. Ramsay, on being called, said
he had considerable experience with
insanity, having been special stu
dent at Columbia college and having
had three years experience at Balti
more in connection with the John
Hopkins hospital He declared after
having heard the case and watched
the boy on the stand and dnring the
trial that the defendant was MT re.
sponsible for his act. He was affected
with epilep'ic insanity.
In giving his conclusions to the
court he said there were two kinds Of
insanity of this sort. One was known
as double consciousness and the other
as alternate consciousness. \ person
subject to double consciousness insan.
ity appeared to be apparently sane vet
did things insane, not knowing that
they did them. In their apparently
sane moments they did insane things
and yet went along doing their regul-
ar every day acts automatically not
knowing whnt they did.
LauRhton he declared, belonged TO
the class Of alternate consciousness in
sanity. These people were sane for a
period and then Insane and during
their sane periods they would recall
what they did during the preceding
sane period and when insane they
wouli recolect things they did during
the precious state of insanity. He
had no doubt hut that during the next
period Of temporary insanity caused
by his disease he wouli recall what
occurred when he was insane beforc
and that at that time he might make
confession as to this crime which ne
doubtless knew nothing about at pres
eut when IN state Of sanity.
Tie boy belonged to the worse
class Of insane people and it could not
b9 told when he wpuld again make an
a taak upon any one He might DO
something harmful in his own family.
Thos4 persons of this class when once
thev hec0me criuinally inclined grad.
ually grow more dangerous.
With this evidence from an expert
the court directed the Jury to tiud the
boy not guiltv and papers were signed
bv DR.. Ramsay and Dr. Mas for the
Commitment Of the boy 10 the state
hospital at Trenton for a determina'
ton bv Dr.. Ward as to the care OF the
bov there or at the state village for
epileptics At Skillmaus. The boy was
taken there on the 20 o'clock train
accompanied by his father and Officer
Beckalew.

Mexican Mining Law Defects.

One of the most prominent Mexican mining and business men in the state of Chihuahua writes the Enterprise calling attention to the following de fleets in the law affecting mining:
 First-A mining man has a con. mercial business, and if he wishes to take some of his goods to his mining property to supply his employees he must pay double license or tax.
 Second-If a mining man who has invested his money in developing a property should, from whatever cause default in payment nhis taxes, he cannot redenounce (reIocate) that property, but all his investment must be lost or go to the new locator
 What should be done" says the writer, "is to issue letters patent for all mines, and in the case of a default in the payment of taxes the property should be sold, as is done under the laws of the United States. where ab solute fee simple titles are given"
