SPECIAL CONSTABLES
Charles Hennessey's Prisoner Allowed to Go Free By Judge.

Paul Duffy, IT, was arrested this morning on Exchange place by Spec ial Constable Charles Hennessey fol breach of the peace. The authority of a special constable to make an ar. rest has always been question ol considerable doubt and this morn ings happening did not tend tt brighten it up.
 Hennessey's jurisdiction is the He, brew cemetery in the east end. He knew this, yet he did not hesitate tc arrest young Duffy outside Of his oWr bailiwick. According to Hennessey when he was sworn in no mention ol any particular place for the perform ance of his office was mentioned. Al he could say to-day was that he was appointed special constable by the board of aldermen to protect the peace in the east side.
 However, he was standing in EX- change place this morning about o'clock when he saw young Duffy come along. He said Duny called him bum and other names and then he took him into custody. Supernum- erary Delehanty was present and made no attempt to arrest the boy.
 Duffy said that last summer Hen- nessey abused him in Hamilton park called him a bum and other degrad- ing names and he gave him tit for tat, Hennessey then, according tC Duffy said he would get square with him and this morning after putting him under arrest said: Il have been on the lookout for you and I've got you at last"
 Attorney Philip Bernstein volun- teered the testimony that he saw Duffy doing nothing that should have caused his arrest and Judge Burpee after giving the young fellow re- proof for his record, said his arrest was unjustified and let him go.
 And then it seemed as if the tables were turned upon Hennessey, for the next writ taken up by Prosecutor Meigs charged Hennessey's son, Char les, Jr, with hunting without per mission on the premises of William J Lease. Hennessey had not been ar rested, but merely told to report in court. He was not present when his name was called and Judge Burpee gave orders to place him formally un- der arrest when found. Court ad. journed then and after a few minutes young Hennessey showed up and he was promptly placed under arrest and made give bail. His case will be heard tomorrow morning.

TWO SUITS BROUGHT
Attorney GUiIf0iIe Names S5,0OO
 in Each Suit

Attorney F. P. Guilfoile instituted two suits to-day each for $5,000, one was against the Consolidated railroad company and the other against the Noera Manufacturing company.
 In the first named tn. plaintiff is Michael Mankevich, who sues as ad- ministrator on the estate of his son, Michael, who was ten years of age when he was killed by contact with a live electric wire on North Main street, August 4. The wire, it is al- legged, was part of the trolley equip ment and had fallen to the street. The boy not knowing it was charged with deathly danger touched it and he was instantly killed.
 In the other suit the plaintiff is Angelo Morelli. He alleges he was in the employ of the Noera company on December 16, last, and while engag- ed on press, the cutting apparatus, through the neglect of the foreman of the department became entangled with other parts of the machine and in consequence it failed to work prop erly and Morelli lost four fingers of his right hand. Both suits are made returnable to the superior court
