Judge Fratt Gives Judgment Against WlMfil. Supreme Court Judge Pratt to-day gave Judgment for the plaintiff in tbe eait of Dr. Griffin, tho Commissioner of Health, against Andrew Wissel, who has a fat rendering establishment in Newtown Creek. Judge Pratt holds out that the Shields act of lb93 Is constitutional and that the Health Commissioner has a standing under it in court to bring an action to restrain any one from violating it. Judge Pratt buds that Wissel is carrying on the baainess of fat rendering and that he must be permanently enjoined from pursuing such bnsiuess ou Furman Island or anywhere within three miles of the City of Brooklyn.

Adolph Siam, counsel for Wiasel, says the case will be appealed. The Health Commissioner was represented on the trial by ABSistantCorporationCouneel W. T. Gilbert. Lawyer Simla is still fighting for Joseph Rosenberg, the fat denier in Newtown Creek.

To-day he got an order requiring the authorities to show cause in the Supreme Court why they should not be enjoiued from interfering with his business. Rosenberg claims that he does not render fat but buys and resells it to fat venders in Now ork. CAUGUT IN COG WHEELS. THE BULLS OWN HATE THINGS THEIR WAT TO-DAT.

The rise in New England from 44 to 46 was on buying in which Dick Bros, Sl Lawrence, Minzesheimer and Content were prominent. Traders bought considerable for a turn, but quite generally sold around 45.

Sterling Exchange was stronger, owing to the weaker market for money.

Over 25,000 shares long New England said to have been sold yesterday. The Reading is said to be handling the largest tonnage in its history, insiders are more bullish on sugar. The cattle movement from Kansas City is the largest known. Rock Island earnings in September, increase, 123,309. Prom Chicago Wormser wired a large amount of very bullish talk on Chioago Gas, alleging among other things, that it is on the road to par.

The story the board is that the Boston and Maine has leased New England and that H. Walter Webb will succeed President Parsons. The officials of the New England decline to deny or confirm the report. A good authority on sugar says: The stock is beginning to move naturally again. During tbe cholera scare nobody wanted to undertake much in it because of the danger of something which would bring a good deal of stock on the market.

Now, however, the war is clear for a resumption of theadvance which set in on the increase in dividend. People who knew the facta know that 19 per cent, dividends on sugar are practically certain to be maintained. As people realize this they will buy sugar for the return on the investment -vAn active commission broker Baid: The market has come through a trying period, and no long stocks of any consequence have been shaken out. On the contrary, holders of stocks are more confident than ever, and with the promise of active business ahead are more inclined to add to tbe holdings than to let any go.

In behalf of a community, distinguished for its Americanism and toleration lu all matters of belief and judgment, 1 know I may extend a cordial greeting to those who here represent political thoughtfulness and sluoerity. As an unyielding and consistent believer In Democratic principles.

I trust I need not hesitate to plod go to tho representatives or organized Democracy, tbe good-will and fraternal sympathy of this Democratic -Ity Your meeting is the council of war whioh precedes a decisive battle, and your deliberations should be the preparation for etern conflict. All your weapons and all your equipments are soon to be tested. You have organized and labored and you have watched ana planned toensuro your readiness lor the final engagement now near at baud. This then is no holiday assemblage, but an Impressive convocation in furtherance of the designs and purposes, for the accomplishment of widen you and those you represent are banded togotner. Tbeee designs and purposes, as declared by your association, are The preservation ot the Constitution of the United States, the autonomy of the Statos, local self-government and freedom of elections; opposition to the Imposition ot taxes beyond the necessities of the Government, economically administered, and the promotion of economy In all branches ot the public service.

These proteeslone embody tbe purest patriotism and the loftiest aspirations ot Amerloan citizenship. Though at all times they should suggest to us the strougest obligetlon to polttioal effort, their motive toroe, as Incentives to political activity and watchfulness, should he Irresistible at a time when the Constitution la held -ta light esteem as against the accomplishment of selfish purposes, when State boundaries are hardly a barrier to centralized power, and when local self government and freedom of elections are tbe sooff of partisanship. Those who subscnle to the creed of this association and make any olalm to sincerity, can bardly excuse themselves for lack of effort, at a time when the necessities of the Government, economically administered, bAve hut little relation to the taxation of the people and when extravagance In the public service has become a contagious plague. To those who hope for better thing, thla convention of Democratic clubs Is bright promise of reform. Unorganized good Intentions and Idle patriotic aspirations cannot successfully contend for mastery with the compact forces of private Interests and greed, nor Is the organization always the most userul which has the widest ex tent.

The real benefit of political organization Is found in Its nearness to the people aud In the directness of Its motion. Of course harmony aud unity of purpose are absolutely essential. In this view your assembling together Is most Important. In so far as It promotes this harmony and unity by conference aud a consideration of methods, and In so far as It Inspires the zeal and enthuelasm whioh will make more effective your work at home. Therefore.

I am sure that I can say nothin? better In taking my leave of you thau to wish that your convention may be a moat profitable and encouraging one. and that, at its conclusion, you may resume your places in your home organizations. newly Inspired to determined aud zealous effort lu the cause of true Democracy.

Philadelphia Prett. They were two ot the nicest girls in the world. They had been several years abroad, where, of course, no one drinks water and wine is nted freely.

Now they were at one of the Southern resort in America. You know that lovely Southern wine; no one can tpeil it and no one, once tasting it, can ever forget it. Well, the two nicest girls in tbe world came in from a ramble among the orange grove and went atone to luncheon. They were thirsty, and the lovely wine ot whioh I apeak was, of oourse, what it seemed most natural to order. Then they drank in the free and thoughtless way their long experience with Ordinaire had taught them.

Oh, don't sss-p-eak, you-rr-ton-gue-l-ss Oh, what a-hall we do When the grapes came they started in. To this day Nellie says she put most of hers in her ear, but the eool fruit and the awful quiet that settled upon them did its work. After three plates apieo of grape thev got ont ot the dining room with no trouble exoept a little difficulty in carrying all the extra dignity they assumed. This story is not idly told; it is a warming to a good many.

Arguments by Edward B. Rieley, of Utioa, for appellant, and Attorney-General Rosendalefor respondent.

While each case was argued separately and briefs presented in each one, the questions of the constitutionality of the apportionment and the legality of the extra session were practically argued on by Attorney-General for and Mr. W.A. Sutherland against. All the other arguments followed in the same points, except as to important and local features. Attorney-Gen.

Rosendale opened the case by a long argument in support of the Apportionment Law. He argued that the bill whs constitutional, that the special session at whioh it was passed was the first session after the return of the enumeration," and that the apportionment was as near mathematical accuracy as oould be enaoted under the oiroumstanoes. Mr. W. A.

Sutherland presented the opposing argument. He claimed that the language of the Constitution is mandatory and that the Legislature had no discretion but to follow its injunctions. He cited the decisions of other courts on the subjeot and maintained that a legal enumeration oould not be taken in 1892 nor until 1895. It is believed that the deoision of the Court will be rendered on Tuesday next. A Brutal Murderer Brutally Lynched.

if Off THE SCHOOL CHILDREN WILL HONOR COLUMBUS. They Wilt Form a Conspicuous Feature of the f'aradfl. With Muslo Galore It lint Hrouklyu Gains by Postponing the Date Completing Arrangements. Superintendent of Public Instruction Maxwell, Gen. Horatio C.

King and Col. John Culyer, representing the Board of Education, appeared this morning before the Aldermanio Committee on tbe Columbian celebration, now holding daily sessions at the City Hull. Gen. King stated that they had decided to have the children II years old and over participate in the parade instead of those 12 years old and over, This ohange would increase the representation from the public school from about 4,000 to nearly 7,000. They had dooided that it was not feasible to handle regiments of 1,000 each aud pro-prosed to have them consist of hfty pupils each.

They wanted oue band for eaoh regiment. They would therefore require fourteen bands and Mr. Kiug suggested that they be bands of twenty-five pieces. It was decided that the mnrehera should wear badges and carry small national flags. The committee hud estimated cost at about 4,000, and Messrs.

MoKee and Thomas, of tho Aldermanio Committee suggested that in view of the small appropriation for the celebration, 3,000 would be all that they could spare for the public school feature of the parade. The committees their considered the matter in evecutive session. Superintendent Maxwell will probably act as Grand Marshal of tbe school children. He has issned a call to the various principals of the sohools to meet at bis office tomorrow to make the necessary arrangements for the pnrude, if the Board of Education follows the recommendations of the committee. Gen.

Henry W. Slocum has been mentioned in connection with the position of grand marshal for the demonstration. The committee are understood to be unanimously in favor of him and he will no doubt be selected if he consents to serve. lhe committee is handioapped by the small amouut of money nt their disposal. The County Committee will be asked to aid in overcoming this difficulty.

If the inadequate amount is not thus increased it is probable that New York will not be asked to participate, as it would be neoessary to engage bands for their organizations. Secretary Prioe, of the committee, sent letters to the Secretary of the Navy and the Secretary of War informing them of the change in date of the proposed celebration in Brooklyn and requests that the marines and sailors stationed at the Brooklyn Navy Yard and the West Point oadets and detachments of the regular army stationed the vicinity of the city be permitted to participate the parade. It is not probable that Brooklyn could have secared either soldiers or sailors from tne Government had the celebration been held on the 12th, as New York's Committee had long since arranged for all that could be spared. But it is thought that there will be favorable responses to the requests for tbe 21st. In pursuance of the resolution adopted by the Board of Supervisors at their meeting yesterday afternoon providing for the appointment of a committee of seven members of the board to make preparations for the celebration.

John 1. McKane, Chairman, pro tern, appointed the following gentlemen as members of the Committee this morning: Harvey T. Lewis, of the Seventeenth Ward; William E. Frenob, of the Twenty-fourth Ward; Martin Conly, of the beoond Ward; John McKeown, of the Fourth Ward; William P. Riggs, of the Twenty-first Ward: Eugene B.

Judge, of the Sixth Ward, and William L. Eustace, of the Twenty-fifth Ward. The last named gentleman is a Republican; the reBt are Democrats. The committee will meet to-morrow morning in the office of the clerk to the board. The resolution whioh was adopted providing for the appointment of tne committee also provide! that the expense of the celebration should not exceed $10,000.

A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT AT TBE FOOT OF NORTH TENTH STREET. Albert Flnck. of Withers Street, Instantly Killed His Body Was Frightfully Mangled -Coroner Lindsay Will Hold an Inquest.

Albert Finck, a young married man, who resided at 45 Withers street, met with a horrible death this morning in the big grain elevator at the foot of North Tenth street. Finck, who was a millwright, was screwing a bolt in the floor the elevator right between two huge cog wheels, when he slipped in some way aud fell against the wheels. The elevator was in operation at the time. The unfortunate man's head was severed from his shoulders and his body was otherwise mangled. Fincks body so chocked the machinery that it stopped working before the steam waa shut off.

It required over two hours to extricate the remains from the machinery. Undertaker Fred Duryea and his assistants put the remains in a box and carried them to the Bedford avenuo station house. They were subsequently removed to ex-Coroner Nolan's office, on Bedford avenue, where they will be prepared for the grave. Coroner Lindsay was notified to hold an inquest. The deceased was married three years ago.

The couple had no children. Mrs. Finck was nearly distracted when she learned of her husband's awful fate. Those who witnessed the accident say that the poor man had no one but himself to blame. The machinery should have been stopped while he was making the bolt fast.

Crowds gathered at the North Tenth street pier when news of the accident spread. If any oue other than the deceased was to blame for the tragic occurrence tbe Coroner will doubtless discover it. BLUSHED A JEWELER And Then Il.de an Un.uoce.sfnl Attempt to Make Away with Hi. Booty. A bold attempt to rob PnSFTriedrich, a jeweler, at 1.131 Broadway, came to a disastrous termination yesterday.

A dark-featured fairly well dressed young man entered the place and asked to see some watches. He was shown a tray, and, after selecting I one, put his hand in bis pocket with the I apparent purpose of getting his money. In- stead, he whipped out a rubber syringe, pressed the bulu and sprajed a quantity of ammonia in the jeweler's eyes. Friedrich shrieked with pain and the thief picked up a couple of wutches and darted out of the door. Friedrich recovered in time to give the alarm, and the fellow was captured by a citizen, assisted by Policeman Thompson of the Fourteenth Precinct.

The watches were found on him. At the station be described himself as John Collins, aged 27, of 22 Ten Eyck street. He was locked up and this morning was remanded by Justice Connelly. Friedrich's injuries, though paiuful, were not at all serious. He has almost entirely recovered his sight.

The vibrator is so sensitive that it is affected by the passage of a half dozen men along the road, or by the vibration of a cart being driven along within 100 yards of where it is placed. As soon as the vibrator gives any indication of disturbance the land wires are connected with a telephone, and the noise made by traffic can then be distinctly heard and the direction in which the movement is taking place can be determined. The oryptopbone is equally effective for naval purposes. For some time difficulty was found in keeping tbe inside water tight and in equalizing the internal and external pressures, so as not to destroy the sensitiveness of the vibrating- needle or the tension of the diaphragm. This, however, was at length successfully accomplished, and most satisfactory tests have been carried out in France.

The instrument can be nsed not only for ordinary signaling purposes between one ship and another, bat for announcing the approach of another ship during a fog. Iu the experiment in Cherbourg Harbor the regular thud of the screw of a vessel entertng or leaving the harbor, over a mile away, was peroeptible. It it said that four cryptophones, costing altogether about $400, placed on board an iron-clud, would be sufficient to warn the ship of an approaching torpedo boat and to indicate the direction in which it is traveling.
