When the fivo-yrn r-old child of George Bennett wag rim over and killed by a wagon at Seheimerliorn and Neviua streets an action was begun by the fntlier against Contractor James Riley, the owner of the a agon, for damages for the' death of the child. A jury on the trinl gave the plaintiff a verdict for $3,100, but the 'justice presiding subsequently cut it down to $3,000. Appeal was taken by the plaintiff from the redaction of the verdict. To-day Lawyer Charles F. Brandt, attorney for Riley, moved before Justice Dickey, at Special Term of the Supreme Court, to vacate the judgment on the ground of fraud, and to stuy the appeal of the plaintiff.

r. Jdr. Brandt produced the affidavit of one Phillips, of No. 367 Bridge street. The purport of it wag that one Robert Hor- nandez had informed the defendant that Mrs.

Mount, whose daughter he was courting, had seen an advertisement for witnesses to the accident to the Bennett child, and that Hernandez had seen a diagram of the place where the accident happened, and that be was to be a witness, and Mrs. Mount was to be another, and that money wag to be made out of it. Mrs. Monnt was to assume the character of The Woman in Black, who, it was stated, had -seen the accident. The Phillips affidavit syaa so long and Intricate that the learned 1 judge suggested that it should be left for him to read at leisure.

Didnt he understand all these rascalities? Justice Dickey asked. You are asking me to believe this mao. who was a party to this conspiracy, and did nothing to stop the fraud until after the action was tried and a result reached. -Counsel said that the record of Hernandez had been looked np, and that he was a self-confessed thief. As to Mrs.

Mouut, she was a card-render and a fortune-teller. lawyer Duncan, in reply, described Phillips as one who never paid rent, that he was out of work and not worth a cent, adding that he confessed to being party to a scheme to make money out of an accident case. Mrs. Monnt was not found until the advertisement appeared, und she was a reputable woman. She told many persons a few days after the accident that she bad seen the accident, and counsel possessed many affidavits to prove it.

If these persons were engaged in hatching a conspiracy, it not reasonable to suppose that the plaintiff would know? Furthermore, Hernandez gave straightforward testimony and, if he got any money from the plaintiff or his wife, that was no proof that he had perjured himself. Further affidavits are to be presented to the Court. But Then Different Kind of Hunger Overcomes Them. FIND NO BANDITS AT THE HUB. Three Youngsters, with Imagination! Fired by Outlaw Tracys Crimes, Now Sick and Sore.

The reading of cheap and trashy literature, telling of tlie sensational adventures and daring hairbreadth escape of such characters a Harry Tracy, Nick Carter and Dick Deadeye, is thought to have been the cause of the running away from home of Komis Schwartz, 13 year old, of No. 81 Clinton avenue; Mirros Iawtat-aki, 11 years old. of No. 116 Clinton avenue, and Claudia Lloyd, of No. 86 Clinton avenue, who left their homes to go to school last Tuesday morning and were found by the police of Boston, in the South Station at that place.

Schwartz and Pawtatski bad no money and were ao hungry, tired and forlorn looking that they were sent to the Chardon Street Homo to be cared for. Lloyd is said to have had $25 in his possession and the station agent sent him home in charge of a conductor. Schwartzs father owns a' large trunk store on Fulton street. Pawtatskis father has a clothing store in Manhattan, and the father of the Lloyd boy is the assistant foreman of the firemen attached to Truck No. 11 on Halsey street, near Sumner avenue.

When the parents and relatives of the boys were seen to-day they were reticent about telling of the boys and their leaving home. What information they did impart conflicted and did not bear much on the case. Schwartzs mother was first seen and refused to tell anything about Somis. She admitted, however, that he was naturally a good hoy and had always attended public school No. 12 on Adelphl street, until ho was influenced by the other two boys, whom she blamed for his leaving home.

A relative of the Lloyd boy was seen and said that he and Paw-tatskl had always been regular in. attending the same school, until they became' acquainted with Schwartz, who, she said, bad run away from home on five occasions and had therefore probably influenced the other boys to leuve home. A brother of Pawtatski aid that bis father left thia morning for Boston to bring his son back. Inquiry ag to how or where Lloyd got the $23 was not answered. BURGLARS FOUGHT POLICE.

Johnson, and Warburg, Detected at Work in Saloon, Overpowered and Arrested. Two burglar who forced an entrance, early this morning, into the restaurant of Gus Ruppert, at No. 16S Grand street, gave the police a hard fight before they were overpowered They were John Johnson, 27 years old, of No. 119 Hamilton avenue, and Conrad Warbnrg, aged 36, who has been lodging at No. 316 Bedford avenue.

Both have lately frequented the restaurant, for the purpose, it is thought, of making observations and paving the way for the burglary. By going through an alley between two bonse on Bedford avenue and then vaulting a fence the men reached tht rear part of the restaurant. They forced open a window and when thoy reached the restaurant they worked with the aid of a candle light Policemen Tracy and Cantrell, of the Bedford avenue station, sow the flicker of the light in the restaurant, and after a hurried investigation discovered burglar. While Cantrell forced open the front door Tracy ran around Bedford avenue to head off the robber from the alley. Tracy confronted Johnson and pointed hi revolver at him.

A spirited fight ensued before the burglar was overpowered. Meanwhile the other burglar had dashed past Cantrell and reached the street. Cantrell had hi revolver drawn and corralled him. This burglar wag Warbnrg, and he also fought before he waa overpowered. The prisoners were taken to the Bedford avenue police station, a block distant, and locked np on the charge of burglary.

When they were arraigned to-day in the Iae avenue Police Court they had nothing to say and were remanded. SWINDLES DRUGGISTS. Well-Dressed Tonne Fellow Bnys Mediclno and Give Faleo Checks ia Payment.

The swindler told Mr. Lauer that he had made a mistake, that his address was No, 36 Liberty avenue and not Logan street. Why. dont yon think the check is good?

shadowy outline of the features of the late President McKinley and of President Roosevelt are to vanish forever from the wails of Statuary Hall, in the national Capitol. It was only recently that they were discovered there, among the zigzag, apparently random, lines drawn by the painter to give the walla their apanince of genuine marble. Thi remarkable work was done by Artist Kamuel Allison, who excels in the presentation of puzzle pictures, which are so prominent a feature of all the walls he has decorated. That which is apparently cold marble, auddenly, uuder the fixed gaze of the sightseer, bring out in bold relief startling figures of animal life or other things aa curious. Hi latest contributions to hi novel art were the mural decorationa in Statuary Hall, into which he had surreptitiously the likenesses of McKinley and Roosevelt.

The Capitol guides, who made the discovery, were delighted, and gleefully made the announcement to the outer world, in the hope that visitors would he attracted by the news. They were, -but in such numbers as to prove the undoing of the aforesaid guides. Vast crowds thronged the Capitol, which is undergoing repair; crowds Tast as to Interfere with the work of the artisans, who made complaint. The Capitol authorities took cofenizance. and ordered the shadow picture painted out.

For two reasons one that the work waa' being interfered with; the other, that the presence of counterfeits in the Capitol of the 1nited States was not "dignified. So out they went. OBITUARY. Ti-I Dr. Henry C.

According to Corporation Counsel Rives, not only do the 2S5 aeres of land which eompnse Manhattan Beach belong to the city, but the titles of nearly nil the marsh laud surrounding Jamaica Bay are vested in the city.

This land, which include at the loginning IlutlT'Beach aud all the shore beyond Canarsie, is worth millions of dollars, and the Corporation Counsel says that he has examined the records and finds that he will be justified in taking steps to recover it. The hame case applies to this property as to lie Manhattan Beach, land. The titles by original grant were vested in the old town-, which line the shores of Jamaica Bay and the acts of the State L'tnd Commission in conveying parts of this land both under and above water to private parties and corporations count as nothing. 'I am going to start proceedings against the holders of this property. said Mr.

Rives, as I intend doing against the Manhattan Beach Hotel and Land Company. Decision- in the Court of Appeals will uphold my actions. The State had no right to give title to anyone in this land, and if we succeed in wresting it from them, as I am quite sure we will, it will mean much to the city. It will mean millions of dollars." Those who have paid for these titles," lie said, "will have no recourse. They cannot get their money hack from the Slate.

The Land Commissioners accepted their fees and gave them a title which was mt worth the piper on which Stsvas written. Anyone could do that. I couWlio that myself. TOBACCO DEALERS ALARMED. Meet Called to Arrange Method of Fighting United Cigar Stores Company.

Trick, a Life-Long Explains Why He Is for Coler, large and enthusiastic meeting of the Democracy of the Tenth Assembly district was heldJnst evening at Adeipbi Hall. The meeting was the largest eveF held in the district and showed great enthusiasm for the cause of Democracy and its candidates. A splendid array of oratorical talent was on hand and held th audience until 11 o'clock expounding the issues of the campaign. Andrew McLean gave in detail the history of the Ramapo Company and the connection of the present Governor Odell with the scheme. He showed that it was a measure passed by a Republican Legislature and signed by a Republican Governor.

If the matter had not been stopped by Controller Coler it would involve an expenditure by the city of New York of $5,000,000 for a period of forty years, which would have meant an outlay of $200,000,000. The next speaker was Counselor Edward Lazansky, who made his maiden political speech. Counsellor Lazansky was born in the district, and spoke of all the issues involved in the campaign, and made a very favorable impression upon bis auditors. Ex-Marshal Charles M. Stafford was the lfext speaker.

He spoke of the criminal trusts and gigantic monopolies created and fostered under Republican administrations. He referred to the fact that American made goods are sold mnrA cheaply abroad than at home, also to onr present navigation laws, by which American goods are shipped too largely under foreign flags. The Democracy of the. State of New York, he said, proposes to wipe off these pernicious laws and enable the American citizen to employ American labor and build American ships, man them with American officers and crews, fill them with American goods and the product from American soil, and sail them under the American flag. Albert H.

Trick was introduced, and delivered a speech, saying, among other things, that he had been a Republican all his life. By reason of Mr. Colors efficient discharge of the Controllership of the city of New York, of the stand he had taken in protecting the taxpayers and the city In the Ramapo matter, he came to the conclusion that ae Between the candidates seeking the office of Governor, he (Mr. Coler) had more of an affirmative regard for the protection of the State than Governor Odell, and, therefore, was entitled to the support of all citizens and particularly the independent voter. Former Commissioner Bell also spoke upon the issues of the campaign, touching particularly upon the fallacy of the amendment to the Constitution as proposed by President Roosevelt, to curb the powers of the trusts.
