Lawyer Lord, of Brown, Lord Merchant, made a to enter judgment and assess damages in the suit of Ann Wilmot against the Nassau Electric Railroad Company to recover $2,000 damages for -personal injuries. Mr. Lord said that the company had failed to put in an answer in the specified time, and asked that Judgment be entered in favor of the plaintiff. Counsel for the Nassau Company, In opposing the motion, asked leave for more time to file his answer.

He said that in the confusion caused in the office by the change of attorneys for the railroad, the matter had been overlooked. Judge Aspinaiil granted his application. While boardmg a trolley car belonging to the defendant on June 14 last at Canar-sie, Mrs. Wilmot fell and severely injured her knee. She says she was confined to her house? for six weeks as a result of the accident and she still suffers great pain.

The answer will be a general denial. SUBJECT TO PARALYSIS. FRIENDS FEAR THAT ELDERK.IN IS ILL. Chicago, Sept. 3.

"MRS. ANNIE BEZANT. This peculiarly gifted woman Is In her fiftieth year.

'Her hair Is now ratlver silvery than dsjk; and what may be called the'spiritual expression of her face has become Intensified to a degree suggestive of a life In which contmplatlon predominates over action. The old-time persuasiveness of speech, far from having waned, is in more subtle force than ever. The limpid clearness of thought and scientific precision of phrase, combined with sympathetic spontaneity, which count for so much In the charmof her discourse, are especially In evidence now that the material side of occultism, so to speak. Is the tuhject of popular exposition. Order, system, and setf-con-trol are the mainsprings of her power over others.

From her precept and example proceeds an impression of the serene of the inevitable. Most portraits of Mrs. Besant fall to suggest either the meditative grace of her features In repose, or the winning animation of her smile. Her dress Is picturesquely simple, consisting of koft ljblte silk, twlth the chuddar, or shawl, thrown ovTNcne shoulder, after the fashion of ihe women. On the third finger of the left nand she wears the famous signet ring of Mme.

Fight Over Bailroad Tracks in New Brighton, S. THE VILLAGE TRUSTEES CLAIM THAT THE STATEN I3LA3gD ELECTRIC RAILROAD COMPANY DID NOT CARRY OUT THE CONTRACT DECISION IN FAVOR OF DEFENDANT.

Some time ago the trustees of the vlU lage of New Brighton, S. brought sujt against the Staten Island Electric Railroad Company in the Supreme Court for the removal of the -defendant's railroad tracks from Castleton avenue. The ground of the application was that the company had not complied with certain parts of the contract for the construction of the road, because the $10,000 bond had not been deposited thirty days after the resolution granting the franchise had been passed by the village trustees. The bond was to be made ln the joint names of the company and the trustees. The complalnt-Jias just been dismissed by Justice Wilmot M.

Smith, on the ground thai; it was not the fault of the defendant that the conditions were not complied with in the time specified. The Justice says the plaintiff did not co-operate with the defendant in carrying out the terms of the agreement. This was owing to the Illness and subsequent death of the president of the Board of Trustees. The railroad, his Honor holds, has been legally constructed, and there could be no forfeiture' or neglect on the part of the defendant when the only person authorized to negotiate with the company was incapacitated from doing so by reason of his illness. Furthermore, the company delivered to the President of the Board of Trustees a certificate of the deposit of a bond for some time after the prescribed flme limit had been reached, and it was accepted.

The company was then handed over the contract. Tracks wera at once laid on Castleton avenue, but the plaintiffs allege the company had no right to build its road on the avenue, as It had not filed the stament required by law that it proposed to run a line" of cars on that thoroughfare. The Justice says It was immaterial ln what order the company took the necessary legal steps. MATTHEW ARNOLD. The morning after Matthew Arnold arrived in Chicago there was an article in one of the newspapers beginning, "We have seen him; he is an elderly gentleman -who parts his hair in the middle, with supercilious manners and ili-fltiirg clothes." He also told Dean Farrar, with much relish, the story ot a trick played by a New Tork paper on a Chicago paper which, it was said, sometimes copied without acknowledgment its forelirn telegrams.
