When the hearing of the petition of Fred S. Stratton, receiver of the Ocean Shore railroad, for the court to decide whether he should complete the construction of the road by issuing receiver's certifi-cater, or turn over tho property to the bondholders, was resumed in the Vnited States Circuit Court before Judge Van Fleet yesterday, opposition was offered by E. S. Pillsbury, counsel for H. D.

Pillsbury, the intervenor representing the objecting bondholders, to the completion of the road by the receiver and to the appointment of an impartial engineer to inspect the line and report upon its condition and the cost of its completion, and a plan was disclosed by Attorney E. J. McCutchen. representing some of the bondholders, whereby they should take the road into their, own hands. Ktratton.

Meantime he proposed to protect all -including the stock holders who put $2,00,000 into the road without security and the creditors who hold J2. 700, 000 of unsecured At the opening of court Walter Kaufman, attorney for the receiver, had no sooner brought up the question than E. J.

McCutchen. representing unnamed bond holders, objected. McCutchen said there was no hope of putting the road on its feet and investigating engineer would be a useless expense. He thought a report would re- wi.iie six weens or more. i urtner, the stock holders, he heard, had appointed a committee to confer with bond holders In regard to winding up the affairs of the road, if necessary, of of rehabilitating it independently.

NEED THE REPORT. Kaufman, replied that, owing to material already collected, an engineer's report would not take over a week, ex perts asking but $100 a day. Whether the road is continued, foreclosed or sold, he said, such a report would bo necessary. Moreover, he did not see what right attorneys not on record had to object. The receiver, he added, protects not only the bond holders, but all creditors.

Including the unpaid laborers. Pillsbury, Henry 11. Davis, for certain creditors: Matt Sullivan bs representative of $45,000 worth of laborers' claims and others joined in a plea for delay. W. I.

Brobeck for 'the Mercantile Trust company, trustees of the bonds, made general objections to everything the receiver proposed. WILL GRANT DELAY. Judge Van Fleet, while describing the proposals of the objectors as "vague' and Indefinite," said he would grant a short delay to examine their merit. Meantime he advised the objectors not on record to prepare legal papers with a view to obtaining a standing In court. An issue of receiver's certificates to cover a fuel oil bill of over $3000 owing the Standard Oil company was allowed.

Kaufman said the company had made a contract when the price of oil was low. Since then oil has risen and the trust has used delinquency In payment as an excuse to repudiate its obligations. Kaufman said that he wished to test the trusfs commercial honor by a tender of the money, for If the price of oil had dropped the company would be the first to fight for the legality of the contract.

The muscles of the arm are so badly torn "that the surgeons have little hope oftheir ever being very useful again and there is still grave danger of blood-poisoning setting in, in which event the amputation of the arm above the elbow would be necessary. Phillips was rowing the boat ashore when Burns espied a small flock of ducks flying towards- them.

He grasped the shotgun, which was of the old-style trigger type, by the muzzle and drew it towards him. One of the hammers caught on a seat of tho boat and discharged tlie barrel. The heavy load of duck shot tore through the muscles of Burns' forearm, missed the bones and lodged in the muscles of the upper arm. The charge passed so close to the pugilist's body that his coat was ridiled. The wounded man was rowed ashore by Phillips and a lineman who was working in the neighborhood stopped the profuse hemorrhages with an improvised tourniquet of telephone wire.

Then Burns and Phillips walked about half a mile to the Judson Iron Works, from which place the pugilist was conveyed to the Receiving Hospital in the police ambulance. Drs. Relnle and Irwin, assisted by Steward Piatt, dressed the' wound and the surgeons stated thai while there was hope of saving the arm, in their opinion Burns will never be able to fight another ring battle. MAKES DISCOVERY Find Warm Patches of Air in Altitude Far Above the Earth WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.

A black and remarkable Interstellar has been discovered through observations taken by the balloon flying staff of the weather bureau and by scientists abroad. Chief Wiliie L. Moore of the weather bureau, has advised the house committee on agriculture that during the last summer months "we found warm patches of air far above the earth." "We have found," said Professor Moore, "as a result- of sending up these balloons, and our observations are certified abroad, one of the most wonderful tilings in meteorology. All our physics have assumed that temperature gradually decreases with elevation until in outer space there Is no temperature. We sent up balloons from Omaha and Indianapolis above the storm stratum, which Is six miles deep, rising and falling with the seasons.

"Above the storm stratum there is an entirely different atmosphere floating upon -the storm element like oil on water, with an easterly velocity of only half the lower aSr. From the storm stratum up through this there is a slight rise in temperature. "We call it an equally heated stratum the Isothermal. In this constant air ocean there are no storm eddiesr the minutest rays of light are absorbed. We are living in a thin skin of air illuminated and ail the rest between us and the sun is darkness." POET WILLIAM WATSON SAILS FOR ENGLAND NEW YORK, Jan.
