Md., says that thf works of the Rock- dale Powder Company, at Hoffmansville, Balti- more County, blew up to-n:sht. It is reported that two persons were killed. in Cambridge and its vicinity. The disturbance was recorded by Instruments at the Harvard University Observatory. The time at which the explosion occurred was thus recorded at nine hours six minutes and two seconds. Eastern time, with an uncertainty of no! more than two secends. Similar observations elsewhere, it is thought, may furnish valuable information re- garding the velocity of the concussion.

Of the things that we buy from foreign fields that canao; be p:oduc?d !n the United States, such as ccffte, rubber, sslces, tropical fruits, etc.. the De- fartmt-nt of Agriculture is taking steps, under the direct. or. of Congress, to have them produced by our brown men in our newly acquired island pos- noslona, bo that when they come to help us crie- brj.:e the Fourth of July In future they will have money la their pockets to buy from us things that they rar.rot produce.

Another corps li located in the Hawaiian iF'erds. and the War Department has called upon us lor n:en to beip develop agriculture in the Phil- ip; ir.e Islands.

We have, perhaps, as fire a eystem of education in the United States as is found anywhere. In porr.e respects, I think, we have taken the lead of other countries. We have Sre universities in each Ptate denominational col- lig<?i< in each State, tr.tpraf.cerit systems of high f.cliool ecucatlcn and primary school houses on every hill throughout the country, but It did not occur to the men who endowed those Institutions;, •whether State legislators. repTesematives of re- ligious dencmlr.EtioTis or individual philanthropists, to do anything until late years for the education cf tb« farTTiPr. It remained for a grtat New-Eng-- landcr. Senator Morrow, to take the >ac in laying \u25a0the foundation for the *"iucatlon of the American farmer. Other countrips have done something along ifc's line, and are do'r.p something now. but no- where Is there to be found such well planned eye- lerris of Egricu'tural education hs are ere in our own country; and jet. when we consider what is being cone here, we must come to tht conclusion that comparatively little progress has been made. Oor.gT^ss could endow agricultural colleges, but Congress could rot enact teachers. From 1562 to the present time something- has te«n one in each State and Territory toward educating along these lines. Since IS?S. when Cong-res* appropriated money fcr experimentation, research has been had into local conditions, with p'.ore or lees efficiency. In all the Stares and Territories. There was, how- erer, r.c royal road for these Institutions to travel. We did not have scholars In the land with regard *o the Kfence of agriculture— that is. so broad as tr. do'.et£il ir.ro all other sciences. The man who wcrVs (ri the fieldp should know eoaethinc cf mineralogy, c: mething of heat and moisture.

The Falls bridge over the Merrimac River was perceptibly shaken, and what appeared to be a tidal wave Ewept down the river soon after the explosion. In Wakeficld great fright was caused to the inhabitants. Employes at the various factories rushed Into the streets under the belief that the buildings In which they were working had been blown up. The roar of the explosion waa so that many of the people refused to be pacitied and would not return to work. The general Impression was that an earthquake had occurred. Windows were broken throughout the town. A harness maker was thrown from his seat to the floor by the concussion. Haverhill, too. was a sufferer from the explo- sion. Considerable alarm in many sections re- sulted, besides actual damage to many build- ings by reason of the concussion. Persona look- In? toward tbe west saw a great cloud of white smoke and dust arise over the hills of Methuen, *nd quickly surmised that an explosion had oc- curred In that direction. The detonations were heard over a large por- tion of Eastern Massachusetts. Towns twenty- five miles distant reported 'having distinctly heard them. In Andover, Tewksbury, Biller- lca and other places glass was broken, and ac- cording to a dispatch from Lynn slight dam- age to windows was done In that city, which Is twenty miles away. A. W. Sulloway. a director of the Boston and Maine Railroad, was a passenger on the train. Mr. Sulloway says that the concussion was so great as to lift the wheels from the rails, and it seemed as If the cars would turn over. The train righted Itself, however, and sustained no Injury from the shock. Tidal Wave in Merrimac River Passengers See Explosion. Boston. July 29. Persons coming to Boston on the 9:57 a. m. train from Lowell were eye- witnesses of the explosion at the United States Cartridge Company's plant at Lowell this morn- Ing. The accident happened just as the train was passing the works, the tracks of the Bos- ton and Maine Railroad being about a third of a mile away. To those in the train there seemed to be two distinct concussions. The air in the direction of the cartridge company's works wae filled with a white smoke like that from burning powder and debris was seen flying in all directions. The speed of the train permitted only a momentary glimpse, but It was apparent to those on the train that an explosion of great magnitude had occurred. SHOCK FELT 20 MILES. The land on which the powder magazines were situated was own-^d, one-half by the Nichols and Fletcher estate, and one-half by the United States Cartridge Company' We un-le^tand mat the American Powder Com- pany was using the part of tne magazine belonging to the Nichols and Fletcher estate, under what agreement we do not know. In that part of the building dynamite has been stored for some time, and recently we discovered that some of the nltro- glyoerlne had leaked out of the dynamite boxes and was visible in a streak on the floor, under the open partition between the two sections of the magazine. We brought the matter at once to the attention of ihe Thompson Hardware Company, assuming at the time that It was the occupant, ar.d were re- ferrpd to the American Powder Company, to whom we Immediately expluir.e.; the situation, ar.d the it rnipht involve. We asked that it be ed at once, and they concluded to n lay the rtoor, and later they made arrangements with the •~artri'3se company to furnish men for the work and men and teams for tne removal of th<» powder at the expense of the powder company. They were to remove their rty-nmite at the same time, and were to furnish their own teams for that. As to the Immediate cause of the explosion we have no knowledge. CARTRIDGE COMPANY'S STATEMENT. The United States Cartridge Company this evening gave out a statement, part of which follows: Most of the property destroyed consisted of email buildings constructed of wood, and at a comparatively small cost. The property loss, therefore, will be rather small. The selectmen of the town of Tewkesbury. In which the ex- plosion occurred, stated this afternoon that they thought that $7fUX»O would cover the en- tire less. On the other side of the magazine was a grove of trees, through which the explosion tore a path fifty feet wide for a distance of nearly three hundred yards. The four little boys were caught In the centre of this path, and three were in- etantly killed. The body of one of them was frightfullymutilated, the head being completely blown off. The fourth was alive when he was discovered by the police and firemen, but he did not long survive his injuries. Apparently the force of the explosion of the second magazine was expended In two directions —north and south. On the north it completely demolished the house of William Rlggs, aboul" fifty yards away, almost burying Mrs. Riggs, and badly injuring her little ?on. Mrs. Riggs was subsequently removed, hut died before be- ing taken to the hospital. MILITIA COMPANIES SENT OUT. The explosion shook the city, and within half an hour there were at least five thousand peo- ple on the scene of the catastrophe, badly hin- dering the work of caring for the wounded, so that the acting Mayor of Lowell 6ent out a call for the militia to assist the local r>olice. Two of the 6th Regiment and one of the 9th Regi- ment companies responded, and three hours later had thrown a cordon of men around the district and cleared the place of every one except those \u2666mmediately engager! in quenching the fiamei and searching for victims of the explosion. Two hundred yards further down the river from the second magazine the firemen suddenly came across the bodies of four little boys Jusf about to have a swim. A fifth member of the little party was, fortunately, in the river when the explosion occurred, and escaped without In- Jury. AIR FILLED WITH SMOKE AND DI'ST. For several minutes afterward the air was completely filled with smoke and dupt. illumi- nated by the glare from the already burning: houses. Those who survived dragged themselves to what seemed a place of safety, only to be re- called by the shrieks of those '.ess fortunate The work of rescue at once bexan, but in many cases the flames had already gained full l«a] over the crumbled runs. and despite the ener- getic efforts of those who w«r« not seriously hurt, persons were burned to death before the debris which covered them could be removed. The property is situated just over the Lowel! line, in Tewksbury. but the Lowell Fire De- partment at once responded and did noble work In caring- for the -wounded. Before a stream of water waa started from the eagrlnes, the hose from all the wagons was Muner to the ground, and the bleeding bodies of the wounded were placed tenderly in the wagons and hurried to the hospital. Ambulances soon appeared on the scene and assisted the firemen, and all sorts of vehicles were pressed into the service. Nearly two score of persons were eonvc. 1 to the two hospitals within half an hour, while many more who suffered merely from s'.ipht cuts by flying glass had their wounds bound up and remained on the 6cene, where they also assisted in caring for the less fortunate. In that time the surrounding property was swept as if a small volcano had broken forth In its midst. Every house within two hundred yards collapsed. Trees were blown down, the grass within a hundred yards mowed as If by a lawn mower, while bricks from the two maga- zines were hurled far across the river and all over the neighborhood. NEW FERRY TO DOBBS FERRY. The town of Pallsadea la exctted over the fact that there la to be a ferry line from there to Dobbs Ferry.

Washington. July 29.— President Roosevelt has pardoned Em!!o Villamor. a prominent Filipino, who In December. 1900. was sentenced to be hanged for murder. This sentence was afterward commuted to ten years' imprisonment. Vi'.lamor was a member of an Insurgent band operating in Luzon. They captured Marcelo Gadung, a native corporal of police, who also acted as a spy for the American army, and this fact was generally known. On one occasion while within the enemy's lines he was captured, tried by courtmartial for being a ppy. convicted and shot. Villamor was an officer of the Insurgent army, and was on the courtmartial that tried and sentenced Gadung. It was for this that Villamcr wae tried and sentenced. He has served a term of nearly three years. His pardon was recom- mended by army officers and the Secretary of War on the ground that his offence was really political, arc! that he wu6 entitled to a pardon under the amnesty proclamation of July 4, 1&02. The President has approved u»is recommendation. PRESIDENT PARDONS A FILIPINO. Entry of Those Not Attempting to Evade the Law Made Easy. \u25a0Washington.

He then went West. The Baltimore company went on his bond for $325,000. Weighel was allowed to desig- nate the New- York Mail Transportation Company as a sub-contractor. It Is said that he had to pay this company $280,000 a year. Owing to fines and penalties for service not up to the contract, he declined to continue, but finally agreed to keep up the service until the end of this month. The new- contract Is for $340,000 a year, and at the end of two years from July 1 last, suit will be Instituted for the recovery of the difference between this amount and the original contract figure of $238 000. The troubles of the contractor caused a recent hurried trip of Second Assistant Postmaster Gen- eral Shallenberger to New-York to review the sit- uation, and four bids were finally secured. The contract was awarded yesterday to George C. Travis, the lowest bidder. He will begin the ser- vice to fill the unexpired term of a month less than two years, on August 1. John M. Masten. superin- tendent of the railway mail 6ervice, had been in New- York for several weeks engaged in adjusting the service, which is said to have been badly de- moralized. Baltimore. July 29.—Vice-President Whelan. of the Fidelity and Deposit Company, said to-day that the $238,000 contract in the name of W. M. Weighel was really for the benefit of some wealthy residents of Ban Francisco, who have Indemnified the Baltimore company for any loss which may result. He also said that, whatever the the loss is, it will fall on the contractors, and that the Fidelity and Deposit Company will only be a nominal party to the trans- action.

Hearing on the charges against Justice Bolte, of the Municipal Court, asking for his remoi'al. was continued yesterday. Arthur C. Cosby, an assistant corporation coun- sel, testified that he had tried cases In the Second District Court for encroachments on Broadway. "I was in charge of the case against Aifred Seaton, jr.. Alfred Conkling and Edward Lorlllard for violation of corporation ordinances in obstruct- ing the sidewalk at No. 296 Broadway." he said. "The case was heard before Justice Bolte, Aaron Morris ac'lng for the defence. The case was not decided immediately, but a Judgment was rendered for the defence. This was after I had drawn up a brief, but I found none entered for the defence. It was in January that I weni to look up the court record, having heard nothing from the court, and found. In January, I^3. that the decision had been entered for the defence early in December, 1302. I told Justice Bolte that I waa surprised to find a decision entered, as the twenty days for appeal had expired, and the city was bound with no re- dress. Justice Bolte hac stated that he had ren- dered the decision for the defendants because own- ership was not proved, so 1 took the case into the Supreme Court." He had not prepared evidence of ownership in the case because he tiad iooKed up the records in the Clerk's and Register's office for satisfactory daia. He admitted that he had not ca.ieu the attention of the stenographer to the fact tr,nt there had been a concession of ownership, and that he had not though; again of this concession. Jacob Burnstone was called to give testimony in the case o: Jalumeteln agt Kransman, In which Max Levlne appeared for ihe plaintiff. "Did you object, Mr. Burnstone," asked Mr. Iselin, "to Mr. appearance in court?" "Yes. I told Justice Bo'te that Uevine should not be there, because he was not en attorney. The Judge said, 'Go on w.th the case.' " Was there any rtraark fiom Justice Bolte? 'Yes whlie 1 waa eraminmg a witness Judge Bolte said to Mr. Uevine. Shall I make it a half ,i '..... a t.a'.t do?

Preside? at Their Mass Meeting and Is Colo- nel on Governor's Staff. fBT TSLEOhATH TO THK TBIBUKE.] Aug-usta, Ga.. July ».— Colonel D. B. Dyer, of this city, who enjoys the distinction of being the only Republican colonel on the staff of a Southern Gov- ernor, now bears the added honor of having pre- sided at a Democratic mass meeting called for thy purpose of doing away with the use of money in Democratic primaries. The Democratic primary is the real election, the legal election being only in the nature of a confirmation of the choice ex- pressed at the primary. Colonel Dyer is a lifelong Republican, having Imbibed the principles of that party in the West. •where he lived before moving here. He Is foreman of the grand jury of Richmond County, which called attention to the wholesale use of moi elections here, and was unanimously eiecte \u25a0: man of the mass met-iinK, wl lutums denouncing such practices, and agreeing to with- draw support from any man attempting them. BOLTE CHARGES HEARD. The Ex-Magistrate Puts Himself "Above" District Attorney. "Sam" Parks and Timothy McCarthy, delegates of the Honseamltha aid Bridgcinen's Union, were held In | tea tar trial by iUigistrate Omnfli, ..- tbe Tombs police court, yesterday on a of assault preferred against them by Peter a plasterer and a member uf the Plasterers" Union, of No. 773 East One-hundred-and-sixty-sec- ond-st. Ex-Ma gljtrate Brann. who appeared as : for the prisoners, and District Attorney had two or three lively tilts, in which re- of an uncc :^p:;mentary nature were ex- changed. Mr. Brann was examining a witness and the District Attorney objected to some of the ques- tions. "I will take a few lessons from you." said Brann to Jerome, sarcastically. "You could learn a great deal from me on a good many subjects," retorted the District Attorney. It was when District Attorney Jerome asked that Urn papers in the case be sent over to the court of Special Sessions yesterday, so that the accused men could plead to-day, that the most serious breach of etiquette took place. "This is a most unusual request for a District At- torney to make." said Brann. "In fact, tne manner in which the District Attorney has handled the cases against my clients, both in this case and in the matter of the indictments, has been most un- usual. In the first place, when the charges of ex- tortion were first made the District Attorney took an active interest, a most unusual interest, in the case. Then, all of a sudden, he said that unless he secured as a witness a Mr. Hattield the testimony aguinst my cluru would be of DO use. Then he withdrew from the case and allowed the matter to be taken up by Assistant District Attorney Kand. Mr. Hatfield was not secured, but on the testimony which ihe District Attorney had said was of no use an Indictment was obtained from tbe grand Jury." "When Ienter into any argument." answered District Attorney Jerome. r'lr 'I assume I am arguing with a gentleman. In this case 1 must be spared, and I willspare the court the trouble of listening to any long harangue-" Brann's face flushed, and he spoke out ansrily: "I do not think I have to get any certificate of character from District Attorney Jerome. I con- sider myself on a level with him—yes. and above him in every respect." This ended the argument, and the court decided that the papers in the case should go to the Court of Special Sessions yesterday. As is generally the case in assault cases, the papers do not go to Spe- .cial Sessionß until the day following that on which the prisoners are held. The pleading also does not generally take place until two or three days after. In this case the pleading will be held to-day. Jvo defence was put in. O'Nell alleges that Parks called him a foul name and struck him McCarthy, he said, also struck him. Thomas Mor.ahan. also a member of the Plas- terers' Union, testified that he was in the saloon, and said he was so impressed by the brutality of the assault on OWell that he knocked Parks down, and also struck McCarthy, JEROME AND BRANN TILT.

DEVELOPING NEW POSSESSIONS.Of the things that we buy from foreign fields that

canao; be p:oduc?d !n the United States, such asccffte, rubber, sslces, tropical fruits, etc.. the De-fartmt-nt of Agriculture is taking steps, under thedirect.or. of Congress, to have them produced byour brown men in our newly acquired island pos-noslona, bo that when they come to help us crie-brj.:e the Fourth of July In future they will havemoney la their pockets to buy from us things thatthey rar.rot produce. We are not encouraging

these Is.andere to produce anything that can bejrr.wT! here for the abundant reason that when thetlrce would com* when they would enter into com-petition R-ith our producers they would very likelyhe btuten in the enterprise.

We have, perhaps, as fire aeystem of education in the United States as isfound anywhere. In porr.e respects, Ithink, wehave taken the lead of other countries. We haveSre universities in each Ptate denominational col-lig<?i< in each State, tr.tpraf.cerit systems of highf.cliool ecucatlcn and primary school houses onevery hill throughout the country, but It did notoccur to the men who endowed those Institutions;,•whether State legislators. repTesematives of re-ligious dencmlr.EtioTis or individual philanthropists,to do anything until late years for the educationcf tb« farTTiPr. It remained for a grtat New-Eng--landcr. Senator Morrow, to take the >ac in laying\u25a0the foundation for the *"iucatlon of the Americanfarmer. Other countrips have done something alongifc's line, and are do'r.p something now. but no-where Is there to be found such well planned eye-lerris of Egricu'tural education hs are • ere in ourown country; and jet. when we consider what isbeing cone here, we must come to tht conclusionthat comparatively little progress has been made.Oor.gT^ss could endow agricultural colleges, butCongress could rot enact teachers. From 1562 tothe present time something- has te«n one in eachState and Territory toward educating along theselines.

At Lawrence plate glass windows were shat-tered In all parts of the city. The Falls bridge

over the Merrimac River was perceptiblyshaken, and what appeared to be a tidal waveEwept down the river soon after the explosion.

In Wakeficld great fright was caused to theinhabitants. Employes at the various factoriesrushed Into the streets under the belief that thebuildings In which they were working had beenblown up. The roar of the explosion waa so

that many of the people refused to bepacitied and would not return to work. Thegeneral Impression was that an earthquake hadoccurred. Windows were broken throughoutthe town. A harness maker was thrown fromhis seat to the floor by the concussion.

Haverhill, too. was a sufferer from the explo-sion. Considerable alarm in many sections re-sulted, besides actual damage to many build-ings by reason of the concussion. Persona look-In? toward tbe west saw a great cloud of whitesmoke and dust arise over the hills of Methuen,*nd quickly surmised that an explosion had oc-curred In that direction.

The detonations were heard over a large por-tion of Eastern Massachusetts. Towns twenty-

five miles distant reported 'having distinctly

heard them. In Andover, Tewksbury, Biller-lca and other places glass was broken, and ac-cording to a dispatch from Lynn slight dam-age to windows was done In that city, which Istwenty miles away.

A. W. Sulloway. a director of the Boston andMaine Railroad, was a passenger on the train.Mr. Sulloway says that the concussion was sogreat as to lift the wheels from the rails, andit seemed as If the cars would turn over. Thetrain righted Itself, however, and sustained noInjury from the shock.

Passengers See Explosion.Boston. July 29.

—Persons coming to Boston

on the 9:57 a. m. train from Lowell were eye-

witnesses of the explosion at the United StatesCartridge Company's plant at Lowell this morn-Ing. The accident happened just as the train

was passing the works, the tracks of the Bos-ton and Maine Railroad being about a third ofa mile away. To those in the train there seemed

to be two distinct concussions. The air in the

direction of the cartridge company's workswae filled with a white smoke like that fromburning powder and debris was seen flying inall directions. The speed of the train permittedonly a momentary glimpse, but It was apparentto those on the train that an explosion of great

magnitude had occurred.

SHOCK FELT 20 MILES.

The land on which the powder magazines weresituated was own-^d, one-half by the Nichols andFletcher estate, and one-half by the United StatesCartridge Company'

We un-le^tand mat the American Powder Com-pany was using the part of tne magazine belongingto the Nichols and Fletcher estate, under whatagreement we do not know. In that part of thebuilding dynamite has been stored for some time,

and recently we discovered that some of the nltro-glyoerlne had leaked out of the dynamite boxes

and was visible in a streak on the floor, under theopen partition between the two sections of themagazine.

We brought the matter at once to the attentionof ihe Thompson Hardware Company, assuming at

the time that It was the occupant, ar.d were re-ferrpd to the American Powder Company, to whomwe Immediately expluir.e.; the situation, ar.d the

•it rnipht involve. We asked that it be

ed at once, and they concluded to nlay thertoor, and later they made arrangements with the

•~artri'3se company to furnish men for the workand men and teams for tne removal of th<» powderat the expense of the powder company. They wereto remove their rty-nmite at the same time, andwere to furnish their own teams for that.

As to the Immediate cause of the explosion wehave no knowledge.

CARTRIDGE COMPANY'S STATEMENT.The United States Cartridge Company this

evening gave out a statement, part of which

follows:

Most of the property destroyed consisted of

email buildings constructed of wood, and at acomparatively small cost. The property loss,

therefore, will be rather small. The selectmen

of the town of Tewkesbury. In which the ex-plosion occurred, stated this afternoon thatthey thought that $7fUX»O would cover the en-

tire less.

On the other side of the magazine was a grove

of trees, through which the explosion tore a path

fifty feet wide for a distance of nearly three

hundred yards. The four little boys were caught

In the centre of this path, and three were in-etantly killed. The body of one of them wasfrightfullymutilated, the head being completely

blown off. The fourth was alive when he was

discovered by the police and firemen, but he did

not long survive his injuries.

Apparently the force of the explosion of the

second magazine was expended In two directions—north and south. On the north it completely

demolished the house of William Rlggs, aboul"fifty yards away, almost burying Mrs. Riggs,

and badly injuring her little ?on. Mrs. Riggs

was subsequently removed, hut died before be-ing taken to the hospital.

MILITIA COMPANIES SENT OUT.The explosion shook the city, and within half

an hour there were at least five thousand peo-ple on the scene of the catastrophe, badly hin-dering the work of caring for the wounded, sothat the acting Mayor of Lowell 6ent out a call

for the militia to assist the local r>olice. Two

of the 6th Regiment and one of the 9th Regi-

ment companies responded, and three hours later

had thrown a cordon of men around the districtand cleared the place of every one except those\u2666mmediately engager! in quenching the fiamei

and searching for victims of the explosion.

Two hundred yards further down the riverfrom the second magazine the firemen suddenly

came across the bodies of four little boys Jusfabout to have a swim. A fifth member of thelittle party was, fortunately, in the river whenthe explosion occurred, and escaped without In-Jury.

AIR FILLED WITH SMOKE AND DI'ST.

For several minutes afterward the air wascompletely filled with smoke and dupt. illumi-nated by the glare from the already burning:

houses. Those who survived dragged themselvesto what seemed a place of safety, only to be re-called by the shrieks of those '.ess fortunateThe work of rescue at once bexan, but in many

cases the flames had already gained full l«a]

over the crumbled runs. and despite the ener-getic efforts of those who w«r« not seriouslyhurt, persons were burned to death before thedebris which covered them could be removed.

The property is situated just over the Lowel!line, in Tewksbury. but the Lowell Fire De-partment at once responded and did noble workIn caring- for the -wounded. Before a stream ofwater waa started from the eagrlnes, the hosefrom all the wagons was Muner to the ground,and the bleeding bodies of the wounded wereplaced tenderly in the wagons and hurried to

the hospital. Ambulances soon appeared on thescene and assisted the firemen, and all sorts of

vehicles were pressed into the service. Nearly

two score of persons were eonvc. 1 to the twohospitals within half an hour, while many morewho suffered merely from s'.ipht cuts by flying

glass had their wounds bound up and remainedon the 6cene, where they also assisted in caring

for the less fortunate.

In that time the surrounding property was swept

as if a small volcano had broken forth In itsmidst. Every house within two hundred yardscollapsed. Trees were blown down, the grass

within a hundred yards mowed as If by alawn mower, while bricks from the two maga-

zines were hurled far across the river and allover the neighborhood.

from Man Who Carried Maih.Washington. July 29.—The covernment will insti-

tute proceedings against W. M. Weighel, apostal contractor, and the Fidelity and DepositCompany, of Baltimore, for approximately 1200.000,which the Postofflce Department has been com-pelled to expend above the amount of a contractfor carrying the mails in wagons in New-YorkCity The contract vat given to Weighel twoyears ago for a term of four years, at $238,000, andwithin a year he informed the department that hecould not continue it on account of his health.

The Ex-Magistrate Puts Himself"Above" District Attorney.

"Sam" Parks and Timothy McCarthy, delegates

of the Honseamltha aid Bridgcinen's Union, wereheld In | tea tar trial by iUigistrateOmnfli, ..- tbe Tombs police court, yesterday on a

of assault preferred against them by Petera plasterer and a member uf the Plasterers"

Union, of No. 773 East One-hundred-and-sixty-sec-ond-st. Ex-Magljtrate Brann. who appeared as

: for the prisoners, and District Attorney

had two or three lively tilts, in which re-of an uncc :^p:;mentary nature were ex-

changed. Mr.Brann was examining a witness andthe District Attorney objected to some of the ques-tions."I will take a few lessons from you." said Brann

to Jerome, sarcastically."You could learn a great deal from me on a good

many subjects," retorted the District Attorney.It was when District Attorney Jerome asked that

Urn papers in the case be sent over to the court ofSpecial Sessions yesterday, so that the accused mencould plead to-day, that the most serious breachof etiquette took place.

"This is a most unusual request for a District At-torney to make." said Brann. "In fact, tne mannerin which the District Attorney has handled thecases against my clients, both in this case and inthe matter of the indictments, has been most un-usual. In the first place, when the charges of ex-tortion were first made the District Attorney tookan active interest, a most unusual interest, in thecase. Then, all of a sudden, he said that unless hesecured as a witness a Mr. Hattield the testimonyaguinst my cluru would be of DO use. Then hewithdrew from the case and allowed the matter tobe taken up by Assistant District Attorney Kand.Mr. Hatfield was not secured, but on the testimonywhich ihe District Attorney had said was of no usean Indictment was obtained from tbe grand Jury."

"When Ienter into any argument." answeredDistrict Attorney Jerome. r'lr'I assume Iam arguingwith a gentleman. In this case 1 must be spared,and Iwillspare the court the trouble of listening toany long harangue-"

Brann's face flushed, and he spoke out ansrily:"I do not think Ihave to get any certificate of

character from District Attorney Jerome. Icon-sider myself on a level with him—yes. and abovehim in every respect."

This ended the argument, and the court decidedthat the papers in the case should go to the Courtof Special Sessions yesterday. As is generally thecase in assault cases, the papers do not go to Spe-

.cial Sessionß until the day following that on whichthe prisoners are held. The pleading also does notgenerally take place until two or three days after.In this case the pleading will be held to-day.

Jvo defence was put in.O'Nell alleges that Parks called him a foul name

and struck him McCarthy, he said, also struckhim. Thomas Mor.ahan. also a member of the Plas-terers' Union, testified that he was in the saloon,and said he was so impressed by the brutality ofthe assault on OWell that he knocked Parks down,and also struck McCarthy,
