It was the expressed wish of Bishop Wlg-
Rcrtlint no statement should bo gl\cn out
for publication and that pel sons present
should plcdgo themselves to silence. Hut
when the oath had been admlnlsteied to all
cx.cpt Father Coi i Iqnti , ho refused to bind
himself , claiming that as the defendant In an
ecclesinstic.il tiial of cotmtry-wldo ImiHirt-
mice , ho had a light to expioss his \lews
and to make known the , proceedings of the
tiialFather
Father O'Connor decided to the conttai.\
Dr Hurt/ell , then , on behalf of the de
fendant , objected to a trial before Dr. O Con
nor , on the ground that Inasmuch as ho was
a member of the bishop's house he must
nattnally be more or less biased In Ids opin
ions
It was finally decided that Mgr Dome ,
w ho Is a member of Ulshnp Wlirger s house
hold , should bo appointed a ivfeico
with Dr. O'Connor to hear the evidence
of witnesses onVednesda \ , and then
loport to the legnlav comt on Tlnnsda\ , .
and also the objections bv Dr Hint/ell
should ho lead at the time , and that If two
lefeix-es cannot agico as to bias they aio to
select n thittl lefeioo The lepoit of the
lefoiees will then go to Bishop \Vljigor and
thus the llrst step lu the proceedings will bo
concluded.
The question of secrecy was taken up and
Father Con Igan still refused to bo bound bv

suction 18 and IU Dr Uiu troll said that sec

to ofllciils , and that neither lofeued to the

could not bo bound
A long discussion followed , Dr. Smith
aigulug that If the e\Idomo pioduted at the

Dr O'Couner then sild. after c.iroful con-

resenting the West Lud Street railway
company of Boston. Tlio report deals
more especially xvitli the matter of fend
ers for oloctrlc CMS , but IS of Intoiest in
this city , whore the intioduution of the
cable lias albo bi ought an increase in
the speed of street cars nnd a consoi
queiit increase Jn the danger of acci
dents. The Boston commission has oc
cupied tune months in making nn invest-
Cation and has just submitted its
It mil report. Hasldos examining
plans or models of iill different fenders
the commission has experimented xvi'th
forty-thrco different fendeis , using
dunimics made to loprosonta nun , a
xvoinan and n child. The number of ex
periments made is 155.
The commission i ocommonds the adop
tion of the ho-cnllod "Cleveland" or
Johnson fender , consisting of a hori-
/ontal platform projecting a couple of
feet in ft out of the dashboard. It is now
proposed to make this platform in such
n xx ay that it can be slid under the car
xvhen not in use , or under the roar of
any car. Tlio commission further stig-
posts protecting the ft out of the dash
board xx-ith curved xviro
springs or not
ing to lesson tie ) foico of the bloxv ul
case a person lb struck by the car and
thrown agaiust the dashboard.
With loforeiico to fenders beneath the
car to prevent a poison lying on the
track from getting under tlio xvhools ,
the commission discards all fenders
roquirnfp the action of spring , lover ,
etc , as being complicated nnd liable to
got out of order , and also all fenders
requiring n separate duty on the part of
tlio niotorman. The inndvih.ibility of
imposing any further duty on the
motorinan in addition to those ho now'
has xvas strikingly demonstrate in the
experiment ! ! made before tbo board _ of
aldermen in which a fonder xvas tried ,
dovieod by a motorinan nnd consisting
of n. padded plank extending square
acio = a the track in fiont of the
au hboo.rd and xvliich the motorinan
xx'as to drop to the ground in caeo of
accident by pressing his knee against
a catch. In the first experiment xvith
thin fender the motorinan shut oil his
po\\or " and applied bia brnko , but
neglected to drop his fender , and the
car coiifcoquonlly ran over the dummy.
The uiflieulty of the problem xvas fur
ther shown by the fact that in the
second experiment xvith this fonder ,
although it xvas dropped to the ground ,
it xvorkcd up over the dummy and the
car passed up ox'or it as completely as
in the Hist case.
Fixed fondois under the platform nro
also rejected by tno commission , after
much experimenting , for the reason
that if ilxod high enough to avoid the
usual irregulaiiticH of tr.ick they xvould
pass over an arm or logor small body
lying on the track.
Tlio choice of the commission eo far
as concerns the fonder under tlio car
lias fallen upon a movable fonder xvliich
in oidin.iry running is a sulllciont height
above the lails , but xvhiuh is operated
by the notion of putting on tliobiako.
li thoioforo does not involve springs
nndlovors operated by the force of the
blow and it docs not impose any addi
tional dutx1 on the motorinan.
Every time the brake is put on thi :
'
fondor'is lowered , and the harder the
braxo is applied the closer the fonder it
foi cod to the track. In case of emer
gency the niotormanvill , of course , ap
ply ills brtiKoto the Urn it of his strength
nnd under sucli uircuinstinccs tlm fondoi
h may bo arranged to como down to xvlthir
anv desired distance from tlio track

anco up pours to be placed upon tin

"Novpr In tlio history of the pamo
xxoro billinid balls as expensive as at

of the Astor house billliird room to the
Now York Advertiser reporter. "A sot
of those ivory bulls now costs SJI. Fif
teen yc.irs njro the balls could bo boupht
for $18 The increased cost is duo to the
scnicity of ivory.
"When the elephant tusks , fioin
which the balls tire fmtdo , ni rive ut the
f.ietory they uro cut up into blocks mid
tut nod rouirhly in the lathe. They are
then placed in canvas bags and lump up
to become thoroughly seasoned. When
nn eider arrives for a bet of ba.Ha they
are taken f torn the bafjs , logrouud and
polished.
"It is necessary to lot the Inlla re
main idle for a few diiys befoio they nro
placed uponiho table , in order that they
may bpcomo accustomed to the atmos-
phcio of the billiard room , for they are
very susceptible to tomuorutuio and
easily warped.
"With ordinary care a sot , of billiard
balls will last for two i ears. At the ox-
piiation of that time they are apt to be
come crooked and wobble on the table.
They are then taken to the fnctorv and
{ round down for use in the game of pool.
Then whnn they become useless In this
