COACH RUNS OVER A BOY. Received Broken Arm and Internal Injuries Driver Arrested. While on his way from school yesterday afternoon John Mahoney, 7 years old, of 162 Russell street, was run down at the corner of Winthrop and Russell Streets, by a team and coach driven by John Graham, 51 years old, of 1 Cannon street, Manhattan. The boy was knocked down by the horses and two wheels ol the coach passed over him, breaking his arm, beside inflicting internal Injuries. He was attended by Dr.

Rorke of St. Catherine's Hospital and at the direction of his father was removed to his home, where his condition is said to be serious. Two other companions who were with the boy at the time, it Is said, endeavored to drag young Mahoney out of the way, and in the confusion which resulted, it is alleged that he was run down before the driver of the coach could bring his horses to a stop. The latter was placed under arrest and when arraigned in the Manhattan avenue police court this morning was paroled until Tuesday next to await the result ol the boy's injuries. He said that he had done everything to avoid running him down and that the affair was entirely accidental.

MYSTERY NOT CLEARED UP. Man Who Dropped the Alleged Infernal Machine Discharged by Justice lemon. The mystery of the explosion which startled the residents of Manhattan avenue Monday night and gave the impression that an attempt was made to blow up the shoe store of David Lubbitz, at 85, with an infernal machine, was not cleared up when Jacob Levy, 51 years old, of 198 East Seventy sixth street, Manhattan, was arraigned in the Manhattan police court this morning on suspicion of arson. Levy is the man who entered the store on the night in question and left there a queer looking box shappd package, which burst into flame and flnallv exploded when deposited on the sidewalk outside, almost burning the foot off a 10 year old boy, who was passing at the time. From the testimony of Fire Marshal Bry me r.

who investigated tho circumstances of the case, as it appeared to Implicate Lew, the man under suspicion, at the time, It appears that, the latter picked uo the box in nn ash barrel, where he saw a man throw it, on the east Eide, In Manhattan, in a locality which is the recognized hnunt of firebugs, anarchists and disturbing elements of a like character. Levy at the time was on his ivav to Brooklyn to visit an uncle, who lives in Graham avenue. It was his intention, it appears, to also purchase a pair of shoes in the store of Lubbitz. Seeing the box in the bar rel. He maintains that he appropriated it for the purpose of carrying his old shoes home in it after he had purchased new ones.

Fire Marshal Brymer told Magistrate Lemon that he did not 'believe that the ac cused man was guilty of any crime, and said tnat it tnere were explosives in the box he was satisfied that Levy knew nothing about After Magistrate Lemon had beer, told these particulars, he turned to Lubbitz and said: "Do j'ou wish to make a charge against this man?" "Yes," responded the latter, "a big charge; he tried to blow up my place." "What kind of a charge do you wish to entertain?" queried the magistrate. "Dynamite," responded Lubbitz. The magistrate looked at Lubbitz pitifully. Then he said: "Go home and have a good sleep. I shall take the Fire Marshal's word and discharge the prisoner." WYOMING OIL FIELD CLAIMS.

She testified that on April 18 she was abused and slandered by Mrs.

According to the evidence submitted Mrs. Burns throw a pailful or a cupful or a bowlful of dirty water at the Meyers, mother and daughter, as they left her house. For this Mrs.

Burns was arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct. George Gru appeared as attorney for Mrs. Burns this morning and Lawyer William O. Miles acted as counsel for the Meyers. Mrs.

Burns was accompanied court by her sister, Miss Florence Austen. During Mr. Miles' cross examination of Mrs. Burns he showed her a letter, written on blue paper, which she identified as having been written by her. It was addressed Meyers and.

according to Counselor Miles, was the cause of all the disturbance. It was the receipt of this letter which, It is claimed, angered the Meyers, old and young. After getting Mrs. Burns' identification of the letter, and realizing that two warrants had been issued at the Instance of Mrs. Burns, while his clients had but one to their credit.

Lawyer Miles asked that a warrant be issued for the writer thereof.

Magistrate "Worth Takes Exception to Acting Battalion Chief McGuire's Interference in a Case. Acting Battalion Chief McGuire of the Fire Department was ordered out of the Gates avenue court late yesterday afternoon by Magistrate Worth. The acting chief was Interested in a case in which an Inspector of the Fire Department was the plaintiff. He was not satisfied with the disposition of the case and asked for a warrant. He became so boisterous that the magistrate called Court Officer Robinson to escort the man out of the court room.

McGuire then left of his own accord and the services of the officer were not needed. The trouble grew out of an inspection made by Fireman Charles A. McCleary of Engine No. 122 on Thursday last. The "fireman, according to his story, went to 860 Bushwick avenue, a flat building, to make an Inspection of the fire escapes.

He says that he touched two buttons, presumably belonging to the first and second flats, but received no answer. He then touched the third button and the door leading to the of the building was opened. He then walked up the stairs to the roof of the building and began his Inspection. The fireman had left the cover of the scuttle off and it was raining some at the time. As he was engaged at his work ne was called to the opening by a man.

whom he afterward learned was Sebastian Hoh, who lived in the Ilat cn tne second Moor. Hoh, according to the fireman, inquired what business hp had in the building. He was not satisfied with McCleary's explanation, It is said, and started Into abuse tho fireman and would have struck him, so it is claimed, but for interference. McCleary claims that he was then forced to leave the The fireman reported the matter to his battalion chief, McGuire, and the latter instructed the fireman to Eet the assistance of the police. McCleary got a summons for Hoh.

charging him with disorderly conduct. When the case came up before Magistrate Worth Hoh denied that he attempted to assault the fire man. He said that the fireman went out on the roof and left the scuttle open, permitting the rain to come In. He further claimed that the fireman had no business there without getting the proper permission. The magistrate dismissed the summons.

McGuire, who wag in court, was greatly dissatisfied with the disposition of the case and. applied to the clerk of the court for a warrant for Hob, charging him with interfering with the fireman in the performance of his duties. The clerk referred the matter to the magistrate. wno was not inclined to prolong the case. This seemed to arouse the chief's aneer and it was then that he became so boisterous that he was ordered out of the court.

12 ft Fulton Street, Gallatin Place, LECTURED A WAYWARD SON. Magistrate Crane Gives Some Advice to the Child of Wealthy Brooklyn Parents. Detective Martineau of the West Thirtieth street station, Manhattan, who was sent to that stalon when Offlcpr Robert Bin nings was transferred, aud whose duty it Id to arrest the women who nightly accost pedestrians in the Tenderloin, arraigned twelve women before Crane in the Jefferson Market court this morning. One of these women gave her name as Mary Colton of 1,296 Lexington avenue. She denied the charge made by the officer, and said she was with her husband when she was arrested.

The magistrate called for the husband, and a tall, well dressed young man came forward. The young man was faultlessly attired, but his eyes were bloodshot and he trembled like a leaf throughout his conversation with, the magistrate. He said that he was an only son of wealthy parents in Brooklyn, and that he had never been engaged in any business, as his parents had always kept him amply supplied with money. He admitted that he had taken his wife from the street when he married her thirteen months ago, but he thought her life had been a blameless one since ha time, and he was much distressed when the officer ald she was a well known figure in the Tenderloin. The marriage ceremony, he said, was performed by Dr.

Houghton at the Little Church Around the Corner. In answer to a question put by the magistrate he said that his mother did not know of his marriage, and added, "It would break her heart, judge, if she knew it." The magistrate replied: "I think you are making a mistake in deceiving your mother. It would grieve her sadly, no doubt, if she knew her son had married such a woman, but the only manly thing to do is to tell your mother at once and then behave yourself in future." "I have no desire to punish thl3 poor girl," continued the magistrate. "Imposing flue3 upon them is the most disagreeable duty I have to perform. I would be kind to them If I could, but kindness has no effect upon them.

I will discharge your wife, hut If you will take a seat in my private room stir! wait until I adjourn court 1 would like to talk with you rurther." In speaking of the case later tho magistrate said: "I thought I saw an opportunity of sav lnK 'hat young man and I am sure that I have accomplished a good deal. I feel very sorry for him. He Is simply in a bad position and does not know what to do. but he has promised me that hd would lend a different life from to day and I believe him." CAPTAIN REED'S DEFENSE.

The He Pays His Respects to Special Sessions Justice at the Police Trials.

LOUD CHEERS FROM THE POLICE Complaint, Against Officer McManus "Who Served a Term in Jail, Dismissed. The feeling In the Police Department ol the city toward the present reform movement as represented by Justice William Travera Jerome of the Court of Special Sessions, Man hattan, was somewhat mildly illustrated at police headquarters, Manhattan, in the course of the regular police trials. After the exam Inatlon of a policeman charged with a most serious offense, Deputy Commissioner Devery only dismissed the complaint but coupled his action with the emphatic declaration that "Justice Jerome isn't going to run New York if I can help it." Then all the policemen in the trial room applauded and cheered the Deputy Commissioner, a breach of discipline never before witnessed in a trial room. The Incident happened in the firs', case called to day, that of Policeman M. J.

JIc Manua of the West Thirty seventh street station. McManus was sentenced on January 24 by Justice Jerome and the other justices of special sessions to three months in jail for lailure to support his children. It appeared that the chilaren are in some public institution and. McManus agreed to pay a stated sum tor their maintenance and failed to' do so. After McManus' commitment to jail levery who at the time was chief, suspended him.

McManus' term expired a few day3 ago and to day he came up his trial before Jjevery on the same charges or which he was convicted. Commitment to jail or penitentiary for a crime is tantamount to dismissal in tne Police Department. Police Captain Cooney of the West Thirty seventh street station appeared as the formal complaining witness against McManus. Sergeant Langan of the Court Squad at the Criminal Court Building was also present and a clerk, of the Court of Special Sessions. The latter did not get an opportunity to be heard.

Captain Cooncy testified to the formal suspension of McManus without pay. Policeman McManus was represented by Lawyer Louis Grant. He declared after the statement of Captain Cooney that McManus' had beer, convicted through no fault of his own. The charges against him had to do; with matters pertaining to his private life and not to his record as a police' officer. The conviction of failing to support his children, he maintained, was not a criminal oifenstj He moved the dismissal of the charges against McManus and Devery overruled the motion.

"That man McManus purposely failed to support his children. He done it once before," said Devery. Then Sergeant Langan went on to testify to the trial of McManus, his commitment and his having served his sentence. Lawyer vjrant objected to every bit of evidence furnished by Langan and a wrangle ensued before the evidence was resumed. In every instance Devery ruled against Grant and the clouds seemed to be setting pretty black for McManus.

Grant elicited the fact from Laugun that he wa3 not in the court room when McManus was tried and sentenced. Langan attempted to introduce the records of the court showing the trial and commitment. Lawyer Grant objected to this, as Langan was not shown to have any knowledge that thev were the records of the court. Devery overruled every point and admitted the records and the statements of Langan. The situation was becoming very painful for McManus and he was perspiring freely.

Then Lawyer Grant asked Captain Cooney what kind of an officer McManus was. Captain Cponey stated that McManus was a good man and he never had any fault to find with him in any way. Lawyer Grant asked Langan if he had any conversation with McManus about his conviction. Langan said he had. McManus had told him he was convicted on a ploa of guilty and that he never had pleaded guilty to the charge, and that it was an outrage for him to be committed on the pretext that he had pleaded guilty.

Here Langan produced the records of the Court of Special Sessions and said: "Here are the) records. It shows that thore was a plea of guilty made. It is not likelv thai the records would show a plea of guilty If he had not pleaded guilty." Lawyer Grant then said: "There are a great many funny things done in the courts of this city. Justice Jerome wa presiding there at the time this man was conrvioted, wasn't he?" This question Immediately aroused Devery. When Langan admitted that Justice Jerome was presiding Devery turned hotly to Langan and asked: "Why didn't you go back and tell the Judges he didn't plead guilty? You ought, to have given McManus a chance when he said he didn't plead guilty.

You should see to it that the thing was righted." Langan muttered something and Devery added: "You didn't go back because you didn't care to go back." Langan said something about the courts knowing their business, and this roused Devery to a high pitch. He said: "There are too many little tin soldiers going around the city with guns on their shoulders, shooting them off and raising riots in the streets of New York and dograding their positions. McManus said he didn't plead guilty and there are lots of people who get sent to prison just like that in the courts of New York." Ffere Devery paused for breath and the cfowd of policemen in the court room were on tiptoe with expectation. Then Devery exclaimed: "ThiB complaint is dismissed. Justice Jerome isn't going to run New Yorlr if I can help It." With this Devery threw the papers in contempt from him.

Then ensued the unusual and extraordinary scene of policemen cheering the Deputy Commissioner. McManus was greeted as a martyr and congratulated on all sides. WANTS GRAND JURY MINUTES. Counsel, for Patrick, Short and Meyers Aek to Be Allowed to Inspect Them. No Pleadings To day.

Lawyer Albert T. Patrick, David L. Short and Morris Meyers, who have been jointly indicted on eleven counts for forgery of the will of the late millionaire William M. Rice, were this morning arraigned before Recorder Goff in Part I of General Sessions. In addition Patrick wae arraigned on the charge of murder in the first degree for causing the death of Rice.

Robert M. Moore of the law firm of Cant well Moore appeared for the defendants. Before a plea was entered Mr. Moore made an application for an Inspection of the minutes on which the indictments were found, as he wished to see if the evidence had been sufficient. Recorder Goff stated that an application for an inspection of the minutes of the Grand Jury is made by couneel In order to see on what evidence the Grand Jury made the presentment in order to prepare the defense and not for the purpose of ascertaining what evidence was adduced by the Grand Jury and before it for the purpose of ascertaining the sufficiency or insufficiency of the evidence.

Recorder Goff said that In this case there was a long examination preliminary to the Grand Jury's inquisition and the defense was prepared. Mr. Moore then stated that he had just come to town and had made no preparation and desired to enter a demurrer to the indictment for murder. He asked for time. Recorder Goff put the matter off until tomorrow morning.

Mr. Moore asked that the first, third, fifth, seventh, ninth and tenth Counts in the Indictment be stricken out. en's Suits! lined with taffeta, new Flounce Skirt! 15. 20. 00 in Silk and Cotton Waists.

Hurd. in Part I of the County Court, after a short presentment had been banded up to his honor by Foreman Charles D. Lowe. The presentment stigmatized the woman's jail as a possible fire trap, as has been the custom from time immemorial in Brooklyn. The Grand Jurv also visited the, penitentiary, and the members wished that there might be some Industry there in connection with tho county jail, which, they say, ought to be removed to Crow Hill, as the Penitentiary on Blackwell's Island will suffice for all the criminals in Greater New York, who are rightfully sent to a penitentiary.

Judge Hurd, after reading the presentment, said that, so far as possible, its recommendations would be carried out. He called the attention of the Grand Jury to the fact that there are a very few persons now in jail charged with offenses against the law. The cases that have been disposed of in the last month in Part Judge Hurd sitting, and Part II, Judge Aspinall sitting, have been bail cases. It has been understood in the community, Judge Hurd said, that these bail cases were seldom brought to trial, but these had been brought up in court and disposed of. In the last two termB of the court there were 120 cases tried and about one half were of the nature of ball cases.

This was a source of congratulation aud his honor said that he believed It was unparalleled In the history of Kings County. Judge Hurd also said that he bad scrutinized the jail list of Sheriff. Walton, and he saw that there Is in jail only one person charged with homicide; that man would have been tried long ago had he not Injured himself by jumping from a tier in the jail. There were others who might have been tried ere this, but they had their trials postponed. Timothy Desmond was the prisoner who jumped from a tier.

"We are right up to date." said his honor, "and we have a right to felicitate ourselves on that fact. You are discharged with the thanks of the court." TO BRING HOME THE SOLDIERS.

Special Also Some Special Bargains Sixth Avenue, 20th TIGHE GOES 01 BENCH SURROUNDED BY FLOWERS New Police Magistrate's First Day in the Butler Street Court. PRISONERS GOT OFF EASY. Many Beautiful Floral Pieces From the Judge's Friends Changes in the Court.

Magistrate James G. Tighe's assumption, or rather resumption, of judicial honors today in the Butler street court was literally crowned with roses. Every one, so to speak, threw bouquets at the incoming magistrate, and such a display of flowers has not been seen within the memory of the oldest South Brooklynite. There were at least a dozen floral pieces, and if horseshoes are any guarantee of good luck, the judge had a sufficient number of them to make him happy for the remainder of his natural life. American Beauty roses, jack roses, lilies, pnks and other choice exotics lent fragrance to.

the air and transformed the temple of justice into a blossoming varicolored conservatory, in the center of which sat the magistrate radiant with smiles. Among the floral tributes were an immense horseshoe containing a card with these, words, "Congratulations, and With Love of a second horseshoe with the inscription, "Compliments of Joseph McGarry, lS4Vi Bergen a basket of flowers from John H. O'Rourke; a tripod from N. J. Leavy; an immense horseshoe from some unknown and modest giver; a bouquet from John Walsh of 331 Court street; a dainty basket of flowers from City Marshal Thomas Feeney; a basket from Counselors May and Tragner, and a large basket from William A.

Wellwood, Harry Blatano, Joseph Tighe, William A. Fisher and Manassah Miller. Magistrate Tighe was warmly congratulated by many friends and well withers. Counselor Francis L. Corrao made a short address of welcome to which the magistrate bowed in reply.

Then followed a general handshaking. Among those who paid their respects to tho incoming judge were Captain Miles O'Reilly, Michael J. Cummings, Commissioner Kane's secretary; Special Agent Josoph Cos chlna, Miss Emilie V. Meury, the prisoners' friend; Counselors Hcnnessy and McGuire. Promptly at o'clock the court officer rapped for order and Magistrate Tighe took his seat.

Isabella Love, 53 years old, of 592 Sixth avenue, was called to the bar. Isabella, who looked as though she had weathered the storms of adverse fortune, was charged with intoxication. Officer Martin Delaney of the Forty fourth Precinct made the arrest. Isabella's last name caused a titter in the court room and led one of the spectators to observe: "Well, that Is a good omen for the new Judge. With luck and love what more can any city official want." Isabella smiled and she was allowed to go.

Then followed ten specimens of tempest torn humanity. They had all of them looked on the cup when it was red, but the new magistrate was In a forgiving mood. He had no disposition on his first day to lay the ruthless hand of justice upon them, and. after a brief reminder of the fact that it was best for them to sin no more, they were set at liberty. One man looked around as if the light hurt his eyes in short, as if the privilege was too much for him.
