At to-day’s public hearing it will have before it reports of inapectors on the overcrowding, train-cutting, service-skimping practices by which the B. R. 'T. keeps down expenses. Brooklyn citizens know from daily experience and suffering that they are jammed and squeezed, out of rush hours no less than in rush ' hours, with a systematic brutality that has become intolerable.

HE Carman trial was not without one sinister feature rarely ' missing from murder trials these days—the perjured witness. The negro girl, Celis Coleman, was no imbecile. She possessed fair intelligence. She had no complicated series of events te remember, no involved conversations to reproduce. had only to tell whether or not she saw some one at a given moment, and, if so, to recall the few words that person uttered. Yet this girl, under certain influences, immediately following the murder ewore to one story at the Coroner's inquest, then told a dif- ferent one to the District-Attorney two weeks after. Later still, after epecial attentions eupposed to inspire her with confidence, she aban- doned her second story—oaly to return to it again inside of twenty- fear hours. Three times che changed her sworn testimony. It ie in every way scandalous thet witnesses in a case ehould be coolly rated as valuable to one aide or the other according to whit | 1 A they can be coached to testify—what “special attention” will persuade them to swear to. In the interests of truth and justice it would be tafinitely better if, @iring the interval between crime and trial, im- Pertant witnesses could be spirited away to comfortable seclusion where no lawyer could got at them. —_——-+-____ sal Gndians reports @ calf bern with o rebdit’s tall.

By nightfall the Mexicans were on a ridge the ravine gnd the Americans had retreated to a plain near its base. Next morning the actual fighting set in. Santa Ana moved forward in three columns upon the Americans. Under this onslaught by overpowering numbers Taylors left was turned and put to flight. But the American right and centre stood firm under the onslaught. With murder- ously accurate artillery and rifle fire the American centre and right ham- mered the Mexican charge to a halt and, little by little, drove the o1 columns back. Santa Ana next sought to crumple Taylor's line by two fierce cavalry charges. Both of these were repulsed, and a division of Mexican infantry was actually chased from the field by # counter-charge. ‘Then Santa Ana, by a genera! assault, pushed back the whole American line. But Taylor's artillery checked this advance, too, and the lost groand ‘was gradually recovered. “Gen.
