watch and $2.1 in cash.
Mi nnwhlle the man who had sold th
hors"S could not be located until Chief

Nvnn Morris, the assistant city clerk.
The chief incidentally mentioned the
horse-stealing case to Mr. Morris who
rema ikeil that n young fellow on an

with another passenger conceining a
horse deal thai had just been mad".
The young man hud left the ear at

OLVPHANT (iRADE CROSSINGS.
! Another ilcmiim He Core JmU'c Ciiii
! -tei in Injunction Proceedings.
i In the equity suit of the Delaware and
Hudson liullroad company against the
Olyphnrit Suburban Traction company
and the I.rtekawnnii Valley Traction
compnny, the matter at Issue being nn
Injunction to restrain the defendants
from crossing the plaintiff's tracks at
grade on Hudson and Punmore streets
in i lie borough of Oly pliant, unother
hearing look place yesterday morning
in (-numbers before Judge (lunsier. F.x
,'ludge AV. H. .fessup represented the
plaintiff nnd I. II. Hums and Hon. Lem
uel Amermnn. the defendants.
The evidence of Superintendent C. Tt.
Manvllle, Civil F.ngineer Hurrell, Itrldge
Hiiililer Itrown, and Pi lective Martin
irippen was heard concerning the dan
ger of crossing ut grade and on the feas
ibility or constructing cither subways
or viaducts as a practicable way of
getting around the dilllculty. These
witnesses testllied substantially that It
would be Very dangerous to cross Hie
tracks of the Delaware und Hudson nt
grade on these streets and that It
would not be burdensome on the defend
ants to adopt either of the other wuys
of getting by the railroad tracks.
The hearing was adjourned until Fri
day morning, but the defendants se
cured n modification of the injunction
from the court, permitting them to go
on and lay a track between the rails of
Our Leader
All sizes and widths,
Russet or Black colors,

Spruce-Street
the Delaware nnd Hudson company,
hut not to cut or Interfere with In any
manner whatsoever the rails. This was
granted by the court because the time
limit in which the defendants must have
the tracks laid expires next Saturday
according to the provisions of the ordin
ance passed by Olyphant council grant
ing them the right of way. It Is not
necessary, however, that the line should
be ready for operation.
Should the court decree that the de
fendants cannot cross at grade on eith
er or both streets, then the 'rails laid
between the plaintiffs tracks will be
subsequently torn up.
PREPARING TO RATIFY.
Populist RngtiKcd in Mnkiug Ar
rangements tor a Demonstration.
There was another meeting last night
In the ofllce of ex-Judge W. H. Stan
ton, of the committees that are ar
ranging for the ratification meeting to
be held by the local Populists. Mr.
Stanton announced that he hud written
to Chauncey F. Black and Joseph Sib
ley requesting them to attend the rati
fication meeting, but has not yet re
ceived their replies. It was also de
cided to ask Dr. Taylor, of Philadel
phia, the state member or the Popu
list executive committee, to attend the
meeting.
It has not as yet been determined
where the ratification meeting (Will !e

ious to secure tils presence and nt the

his presence.
Judge Stanton said that he had spent
a few hours during the afternoon in
canvassing for funds to defray the ex
penses of the ratification meeting, and
had been received very courteously by
Democrats und Populists. He believes
there will he no dllliculty in raising
all the money necessary to make the
ratification meeting a credit to the Pop
ulists. J. A. Hiuron, of I'rlceburg, will cir
culate lo.oon copies of the platform of
the Populists party throughout the
county. The declaration of principles
will be pointed on one side of the
sheet and on the other side will he ad
vertisements, the revenue from which
Mr. Harron says will be sufficient! to de
fray the cost of printing und distribut
ing the leallets. Mr. Harron announced
thut the Farmers' Alliance number :!,
(iiin.ooo voters are for Hryan and fre.'
silver.
John S. Cray, In an Informal way
read a number of figures for the edi
fication of those present. He had made
some calculations bused on the presi
dential vote of four years ago and an
nounced that the Democrats nnd Pop
ulists combined will poll .1,1100.000 votes
this fall nnd will luivivVo-thlrds if

YOUTHFUL TRAIN WRECKERS.
They M ere Let Oil' Easy ou Account
of Their Age.
The three boys, Kddle Hurke, James
Duffy, and Joseph Coaras, who were ar
rested for spragglng a frog on the Jer
sey Central railroad, were given a hear
ing yesterday morning by Alderman
Howe. Their age is under 12 years, and
on that account the charge was dropped
upon payment of costs by their parents,
who also entered bail for their future
good behavior.
On July 14 as the 6.40 p. m. passenger
train was coming toward the upper part
of the yard at the South Steel mill, the
engineer, Cornelius Kellly, saw boys
scampering away and suspecting that
they had done some mischief he brought
the train to a stop. Iron links such as
are used in coupling coal cars were
found fastened In a frog on a switch
near where the boys were.
The engineer said that the obstruction
was enough to derail the train and
cause possible loss of life If the speed
had been great. The boys were arrest
ed Monday by Special Officer Owen Lee.
They live on the lovror Flats.
