The autihorities, ihowever, were not »o fast asleep as they appeared to be. Although they had no actual proof of the existence of a conspiracy, their euspicions were airoused. Their first surprise was presented Ito tihem in tihe foron of a funeral, the funeral of Mc- Manus one of the patriots of 1848, -who died in this country and whose body wias taken over to Dublin to 'be fcurled in Glassnevin Cemetery.

Buit we hear some women say, \I am opposed to woman suffrage; I •would not vote,\ and the suggestion goes forth that it is unladylike, unre- flned, a-nd mascsuMne to wish to vote. We rejoice that many of the strong, worthy women of our land would not for a moment place tiheir personal preference in the balamce against the issue of right a>nd wrong. As far as women have fused the ballot we hear of no neglected ihomes, no less accom- plished or less ladylike wives.

Tnitod ytates Commiasioner Woodward had found Ng Kum and Ng Kooni. who claimcid to be sons of Ng I'ang, guilty of illegal entrance into the United States from Canada, and he had ordered that, they be deported. From this order a.n appeal was taken to this court. Fuller C. Smith, of St. A1 bans, Vt., aippruicd for tho iippeMants and iJistrit-t Attorney Ourtiss appeared for Uhc United Srates. Mr. Smith claimed that Kg Tang tes- tified that ho was the father of the de- fendants and that they were legally in tho United States. He swoire, also, that he hud been in the United States 27 years. District Attorney Gurtiss undoitook to impeach this testimony and produced Ng Tang's application for his labor rcertificate issued in Cali- I'oruia six yoara ag-o. Ng Tang had sworn tihat the oath in Uio application was true.

Governor Odeil signed th© (bill chang- ing the color of the Stalte flag from buff ito blue, and a t 11 o'clock Wednes- day, April 3, tihe new State flag was raiseld upon the flagstaff of the State Oa/pitol at Al'bany, by Henry Harmon Notble, Chief -Clerk of tihe Stajte His- torian's Office, a resident of Essex county. Mr. Noble has in his posses- ion a piece of the old buff flag rehder- :d obsolete by the passage of the new law, wihi-ch he out irom the 'halyards. The law making tihe flag buff was pass- d in 1896, Chapter 229, at the instance of Asa Bird Gardiner. There ds warrant or authority for the statement made by Major Gardiner, tihat General Washington authorized the color buff as the New York State color. Th© New York State Society of tihe Cincinnati is very heartily in favor of blue as the color of the State flag. Mr. McDougall Hawkes, Republican leader of the Twentywfiirst Asseanibly District, who was at the Capitol today, amd who is a imember of the standing committee of the New York Society of it'he Cin- cinnati, was interviewed in regard to the change of color of the State flog from buff to blue. M.r. Ha/wkes- says: \The change of color s&em's very (proper in view of the fact that the origiinal New York flag which was carried toy the Third New York Regiment, in ibhe Revolution, Colonel Gansevoort's and waved at the iiege of Yorktowm in 1781, is in ex- istence, the property of Mills. Abraham Lansing, of ;Albany, anld loaned to tJhe- Albany Historical and Art Society, in the museum of which it is now on exhi- bition. . \The flag, which is made of silk, im- ported if rom Prance, is of light blue (azure blue) i. e., sky (blue, and has the arms of the State painted on it. It is in an unexpectedly perfect state of (reservation and has not perceptibly faded. I t Shows plallnily tihe arms, but the ship and the loop in the Tappan Zee on the present shield of the arms of the State do not aippear on the Shield on the Gansevoorf flag, thouglh other shields of itihe period 01778) show the ship and sloop. A painting in .St. Pawl's Chapel, 1785, shows the shield without the fllhips. \The arms of tihe -State were estab- lished iby the act of March 16th, 1778, followed hy Chapter 190 of the Laws of 1881, and Chapter 678 of the Laws of 3 892. and Ghiaipter 229 of the Laws of •1886. \It is noticeable that the figure of Justice, one of tflie supporters of the shield is on the right ('dexter) of the shield on the Ganservoort flag and not on .the left (sinister) as shown on tihe present. State anme.\ A sifmdlar flag (sky blue) to the Gains-evoort flag was earnied by tihe 1st New York Regiment, of which Manor General Alexander 'MdDougall was the flnst Colonel. scoirs Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil is the means of life, and enjoyment of life to thousands: men women and children. When appetite fails, k re- stores it. When food is a burden, it lifts the burden. ^ When youlose flesh,it brings the plumpness of health. When work is hard and duty is heavy, it makes life bright.

Hannah English. This was an ac^ Won to recover possession of 100 acres of land in the town of Saranac sold by plaintiff to defendants in 1S96 for $700, and upon which they were to pay $90 each year. The court granted $160 damages and a judgment of ejectment. Weeds, Con- way & Cotter for plaintiff; Phillip English, attorney in person. The case of the Town of Saranac against the Groton Bridge Manufac- turing Company, in which judgment for plaintiff was entered Tuesday is one which has attracted wide- spread attention in that town, and has once been before the Appellate Division. In August, 1898, the town iboard of Saranac authorized the com- missioner of highways of tihat town to rebuild and reconstruct tthe bridge over the Saranac river at Redford, ana a contract was entered into with the defendants to build a bridge at a cost of $4,000. In September, 189!), an action was begun to restrain the defendants from interfering with the old bridge. On Dec. 4, 1899, Judge Stover rendened a decision in the aase, dismissing tihe complaint, va- cating the judgment to that effect witih costs against plaintiff. The case was taken to the Appellate Division, where tine decision of Judige >Stover was reversd and a new trial granted. Yesterday a judgment for a perman- ent injunction against the defendants was granted by default. Weeds, Conway & Cotter for plaintiff. The case of Martha Ann Johnson against Alexander Weir 'and Lucy M. Weir wa^ a partition suit of lands of which Alexander Weiir was execu- tor. Evidence was put in, and the case will be submitted to tihe court on briefs within twenty do vs. Wheeler &. Woodiwftrd for plaintiff; Shedden &| Vf>rt for defendants. In the case of Lydia A. Cool* against tihe Village of Plattslburgh, tbe attor- ney for the defendant 'asked that It toe put over the term on account of tihe absence of M. J. Fitzpatrick, an important witness, and the request was .granted upon the payment of term and witness fees. Probiaibly Hhe most Kmportanit case on the calendar for the present term of court is that of John M. Wever against Freeman M. Vilasand others. This \was an action to foreclose mortgage for $10,000 and interest since 1893 upon ixroperty of Prances V. Carpentter and Freeman M. Vllas, in the town of Saranac. Tlhe Queen City Bank of Buffalo, a judgment creditor of Vilas, pleaded payment on mortgage, anki defendants' counsel urged that the matter \be referred, al- leging ttoat the plaintiff had taken frolm 'tflie property a large quantity ol old iron, and had received therefrom $3,000, and sold 300 cords of spruce pflp wood, besides receiving the rent of a large number of dwelling houses, farms, store and grist mill during a period of over seven years, which de- fendant claimed should be applied on the mortgage, and asked that a ref- eree be appointed, because an account- ing was necessary. The court direct- ed the entry of a decree of foreclos- ure and sale, and appointed F. A. Rowe, Esq., of Port Henry, referee, to take proof and determdne where the proceeds of the sale should be ap- plied; whether upon the plaintiff's claim or upon the Judgment of the Queen City Bank. Wheeler & Wood- ward for plaintiff; H. T. Kellogg lor Queen City Bank of Buffalo. The Court on Tuesday apointed R. Corbin, Esa., referee to hear and de- tenrnine in the case of The Lan & Son Corporation against Chs WEDNESDAY'S SESSION. The attention of Wednesday'sseesdon of the Supreme Court was devoted entirely to the case of Napoleon L. Pelkey, as adminiatrater of Gilbert Pelkey, deceased, against the Town of Saranac. This is an action for damages for negligence on Ithe plaint of defendant in not keeping one of its bridges in a safe condition. On fine night of August 27, 1900, Gilbert Pel- key while driving over the Robinson bridge, across the True 'brook, in darkness, drove off the side of *he bridge and fell to the bottom of ihe stream, breaking his back and receiv- ing other injuries from which he died, about eighteen days later. The com- plaint alleged negligence on the part of the defendant in not having iguard rails on the bridge and approaches. The defense was a igeneral denial and that deceased was well acquainted with the Ibridge and its surroundings, having lived near it a number of years. Contributory negligence was also set up as a part of tihe defense. The entire forenoon was occupied with the introduction of evidence for the plaintiff, and at the afternoon ses- sion a large number of witnesses were sworn for the defense. The jury retired shortly before flour o'clock, and \about an hour later re- turned a verdict of $500 for the iplaln- tiff. Sheddeu & Vert for plaintiff; Weeds, Conway & Cotter for de- fendants. This closed the civil calendar, and the trial jurors were discharged with the thianks of the court. GRJAND JURY REPORT. The grand jury, through tiheir fore- man, F. E. Pierce, made tiheir' report to Judge Russell yesterday morning and were discharged with his thanks. During the three days tihey were in session they considered a large num- ber of cases, including sevs&ral for violation of the excise law. Nine true bills were found, all of the ac- cused but one 'being in the (custody of the sheriff. The prisoners were brought into court and arraigned, George W. Bailey indicted (for grand larceny in the second degree in steal- ing a horse on August 29, 1900; Chas.

The bonds of Frank and Fred Sieymour, indfiobea for violating the excise law, were ordered estreaited. Herbert Burnett was indicted for grand larceny. An effort was made to secure an indictment against the Delaware & Hudson Railroad Company for miajin- taining a nuisance, caused by tihe needless ringing of signal ibells at the street crossings in thia village when no,trains were in sight, but the grand jury did not consider it necessary to go to that extreme, and instead pass- ed la resolution censuring >tihe railroad company for not using 'more diligence to prevent the ringing of the ib»lls, whiicfh distunb all the people living in the vicinity where the bells are located, and giving the railroad offi- cials notice that unless tihe nuisance is abated at once the matter will be brought to the attention of tlhe next grand jury.
