MARTIN AROUSED.
Now He Is After j. L. Eidrcdgc, Jr
Clerk of District Court.

Joseph Martin, who has attained TO
some fame during his short tdrrying in
this town. is again in the limelight.
Now he Is after j. L. Eldredge. Jr..
clerk Of the THIRD district court and
may go so far as to seek writ OF
mandamus directed against him and
requiring him to send his appeal up to
the supreme court.
Martin served his notice upon Judge
Morse this morning and then entered
the clerks Office. His query was as to
why his appeal had not gone from the
clerk's office to the supreme court. The
answer of William Jenkins, deputy
clerk in charge of the court WORT was
10 the effect that 1t had not been sent
UP to the higher court and probably
would not because the illustrious bar
rister from Gotham had not hled his
undertaking on appeal. At thaS the
aforementioned illustrious barrister as
s,In,ed such dignity as he could and IN
formed the clerk that in New York
they do not do things that way. The
clerk looked to the law and saw that II
provides that the undertaking must be
filed and refused to go further with the
appeal until Martin had filed the In
strument.
Martin left the Office of the clerk
with the haughtiness that Is recog-
ntzed as belonging only to the lawyer
from the Atlantic and voicing his
threat to mandamus Joe Eldredge.
