Jersey Ctty, Jan. 22.- The four Pinkerton men arrested on tho charge of having shot down and killed the boy Thomas Hogan on Thursday afternoon slept soundly in their cell* in the station In Jersey City on Thursday night They were awakened early yesterday morning, and, after a hearty breaSfast, entered the prison van and were driven to Justice Stilsing's court. Although it was then only 8 o'clock large crowds had already gathered in the court room and street. The prisoners were handcuffed. A large number of strikers attempted to follow the prisoners into the court room in order to be present at their examination, but Justice Btllsing ordered the police to keep them out, as the court room was already overcrowded. Washington, Jan. 22.—The interstate commerce bill, as agreed upon by lioth housag of congress, provides that all charges mode for any service rendered in the transportation of passengers or property by common carriers shall be reasonable and just, and every unjust aud unreasonable charge for such service is prohibited and declared to be unlawful. . Dr. Lincoln's cross-examination was continued. He admitted that he advised against Mrs. Emmons going to Europe, because of her avowed intention to study for the staga. Dr. Garnett testified that he had seen Mrs. Emmons after her return from Europe and that he did not consider her insane. She was ecoentrlc, and her eccentricity was congen.'taL She might be incapable of conducting her affaire, but if so that was not due to unsoundness of mind. "If incapacity for conducting one's monetary affairs," said the doctor, "is to be taken as evidence of insanity, I think I ought to have been put in an asylum several years ago." The doctor was questioned about the medicines Mrs. Emmons had taken last Thursday, the day she was unable to appear in court, and said she had taken three blue mass pills, a Scidlitz powder and four tablespoonsful of whisky. Her condition that day was in part due to the whisky she had taken. Nxw Ypbk, Jan. 22.—Archbishop Corrigan giyes to the press a loiu statement of Ilia position in the case of Dr. iynn. "In Dr. McGlynn's letter to me," the nmhbMvm says, "the following seritimeM : 'I have taught that Individual ownership in land is robbery. I still believe this and shall continue to teach it, and if I bad it in my power would confiscate all land without any compensation.'" The archbishop says the letter was exceedingly plain and almost insulting. He can do nothing further in the case. It has passed out of bis bands. The following officers were elected: President, Thomas J. Dowling, Albany; first vicepresident, William See, Rochester; second vice president, J. J. O'Brien, New York; recording secretary, George McVeigh, New York; treasurer, John Phillips, Brooklyn; committee on legislation, Prances Freckleton, E. W. Flynn, Albany, and Thomas A. Culhans, Cohoes; committee on resolutions, referred, John Franey, Samuel Gompem, Andrew E. Best and Messin. Manson, Cole and O'Brien; impectom and tetters, Messrs. Cunningham, Thayer and a lady delegate. Section 2 makes it unlawful for any common carrier to charge or receive directly or indirectly from any person or persons a greater or less compensation for any service rendered in the transportation of passengers or property than it charges or receives from any other person or persons for doing a like and contemporaneous service in tho trans]Dortation of a like kind of traffic under substantially similar circumstances and conditions.He says he received a cablegram from Rome saying that the question had been placed before the pope by the propaganda fide and his holiness would make it a personal matter. Practically Father McGlynn has thrown off the power of the Roman Catholic church and defies it. Dr. McGlynn has clearly given his ultimatum to his archbishop. He proposes to stand by George and his theories. He upholds what he has done and intends to continue in the same course that he has pursued. He utterly refuses to go to Rome and will take no notice whatever of the summons. A vote of thanks was tendered the retiring officers, and also to Mayor Thaplier tor the use of the room in the city buiI3Tng. Messrs. Thayer and KternaB conducted the new officers to their respective places. President Gompers hoped that when the convention met again it would be as friends. He had never been known to be else but a friend of labor, and had the courage to stand by his convictions. A charge of assault that had been preferred against Samuel Neff, the smallest of the tour Pinkerton giants, was taken up first. John Cavanagh, a saloonkeeper, made the complaint. He testified that he saw Neff throw a club at a number of boys who were playing on the ice. The officer also pulled out his revolver and threatened to shoot the boys if they did not go away. He thought the club struck one of the boys on the leg. This occurred early in the afternoon. previous to the shooting. When the prisoner was arrested he handed his badge and club to his captain. Section S makes it unlawful for any coinmon carrier to make or give any undue or unreasonable preference or advantage to any particular person, company, firm or corporation or locality or any particular descrip-, tion of traffic. Dr. Thompson testified that he had examined Mrs. Emmons, found her a very intelligent woman and did not think her insane.President-elect Dowllng thanked the convention for the honor conferred and said that he was a Knight of Labor, bat tkat the trades assembly and the Knights of Labor would be treated equally and fairly. Be pledged his influence and power for the advance of the workingmen. Formal remarks followed and the convention adjourned without day..  Sections 4 and 5 (the long and short haul and pooling sections) are as follows: The court then adjourned until next Monday. Marshal Wilson has promised to admit the ladies then, and allow them to remain in the court room If they behave themselves. __ The archbishop says that he advised Dr. McGlynn not to speak at political meetings before he knew of Mr. George's candidacy for tlfe mayoralty. At a later date Be officially forbade such speaking. Dr. Mo Giynn replied that he would speak at the George mass meeting. The archbishop thereupon suspended him for two weeks. Later, on Nov. 20, after Dr. McGlynn had contradicted the doctrine of Leo XIII by denouncing private property in land, the archbishop suspended him for a year. On Dec. 4 the propaganda cabled a demand that Dr. Mo- Glynn go to Rome. Dr. McGlynn sent word to the archbishop, "There is no answer," and never heeded the summons. On Dec. 90 Dr. McGlynu wrote the archbishop that he could not go to Rome, and reiterated hii land doctrine as above stated. Early in January Cardinal Simeon i wrote a concilatory and kind letter to the archbishop for Dr. McGlynn, who was thereupon asked to call for it. He refused, saying, "I will not come to see you." The letter was mailed to him, and again be sent word that he would not go to Rome nor retract hjs former avowals. Father Donnelly was thereupon placed in charge of St. Stephen's parish. w- ■John 8.

That it shall be unlawful for any common carrier subject to the provisions of this act to charge or receive any greater compensation in the aggregate for the transportation of passengers or of like kind of property, under substantially similar conditions, for a shorter than for a longer distance 'over the same line, in the same direction, the shorter lieing included within the longer . distance; but this shall not be construed as authorizing any- common carrier within the terms of this act to charge and receive as great a compensation for a shorter as for longer a distance. Provided, however, that upon application to the commission appointed under the provisions of this act such common carrier may in special cases, after investigation by the commission, be authorized to charge less for longer than fur shorter distances for the transportation of packages or property; and the commission may from time to time prescribe the extent to which such designated common carrier may be relieved from the operation of this flection of this act. DEATH OF MRS. VOORHEES. Detective Clos said the prisoner at first gave the name of Moriarty. Neil Sullivan, a boy of 10, testified to the name effect. He Mid the boys ran when Neff drew his revolver. Neff ran after the boys to recover the club lie had thrown at them. The. club struck a boy named Casey. "How far away were you when you threw that dead cat at me?" interposed the prisoner. "1 didn't timrW any dud cat at you," replied Sullivan. James Coiwran, Hugh Dougherty aad John Fogarty all swore that they had seen Neff throw his club at the children. He denied the charge and wai held in WOO bail lo await the action of the grand jury. The remaining three prisoners, Patrick Sheehy, Daniel Cahill and Murtfaa Moriarity, were then arraigned. Detective Pearson, acting under Chief Murphy's orders, stated that they had been arrested on suspicion of homioide. A murmur ran through the crowd of spectators, and the Justice rapped on his des* to maintain quiet The prisoners rested against the ins railing and said nothing. Tbey are all vary large men, more than six feet tall, and solidly built Moriarity is the lsxgsst and has a tremendous chest and shoulders.

Chicago, Jan. 23.— August Spies waited in vain for the appearance of Miss Van Zandt at the jail yesterday. It was visiting day, and nearly 200 people called to see the hundreds of men behind the bars. Spies is a vain fellow, and did everything possible to attract attention from the visitors, but most of the people did not know the Anarchist, and paused him without as much as a look. It is understood that Miss Van Zandt will be retired to a quiet place in Wisconsin until the present interest in her dies out. One of the neighhors said to the reporter: "The Van Zandt house has no back yard, so that the keeping of nine pugs in the household has always been a grievance to the neighbors. The dogs are kept in the dining room at night, but at about six o'clock each morning, and earlier in the simmer, aro let nut in the street by the servant girl. That ends the slumbers of the Rtbple in that Section 5. That It 'shall be unlawful for any common carrier, subject to the -provisions of this act, to enter into any contract, agreement or combination Tvith any other common carrier or carriers for the pooling of freights of different and competing railroads, or to divide between 1 hem the aggregate or net proceeds of the earnings of such railroads, or any portion thereof; and in any ease of an agreement for the pooling of freights as aforesaid, each day of its continuance shall be deemed a separate offense. On Monday of this week the holy father gave a direct command to Dr. McGlynn to proceed instantly to Rome. The latest phase of the conflict occurred yesterday, when Archbishop Jacobini, secretary of the propaganda, eabled as follows: "For prudential reasons propaganda has hitherto postponed action in case of Dr. McGlynn. The sovereign pontiff has now taken the matter into his own hands." New York School Superintendent*. Syracuse, Jan. 22.—The state school superintendents and commissioners, at their meeting here, elected Charles E. \yiiite, of decides, president; E. T. Swift, of Chautauqua, flrst vice-president; William H. Everett, of Jefferson, second vice-president; James A. Foshay, of Putnam, secretary; H. R. Sanford, of Syracuse, treasurer. The treasurer's report was read by Edward Smith, of Syracuse, and papers were read as follows: "Hygienic Requirements for School Buildings," by Professor J. H. Hooee, of the 3 vicinity. In the daytime these dogs dart out and frighten the children so that rather than go by the Van Zandt house on their way to school hey go round the entiA block. Ker. oat's horse was standing in front of Van Kandt's house one day when three little pugs darted out at him. The horse became uuuianage and a runaway was narrowly escaped. As this was a climax to a long list of petty annoyances on aocount of tlMse dogs, Kerfoot, in his wrath, shouted out that unless theee dogs were kept out of the street he'd s oot them Van Zandt rushed out on i hat occasion and was going to fight the man who made the threat. I have lived," continued this neighbor, "within fifty feet of the Van Zandts ever since they have been here, and yet I never knew their names until this sensation over the girl came up. The family has not called upon or been ailed on by any of their neighbors, and has iwen considered queer from the start. 1^.
