AGAINST THE ELEVATED ROAD Late on the night of Jan. 19, 1882, John D. McAULIFFE ran up to the elevated railroad station at Forty-seventh street and Third avenue. He wa= s in a hurry to catch an approaching trian. The ticket seller was not in th= e box. McAULIFFE put 10 cents on the shelf in front of the box and called t= he attention of the ticket taker to the money. The ticket taker stopped him= , saying that he could not pass without a ticket. McAULIFFE expostulated a= nd while he was talking, the train he wanted to board arrived and left the station. Then he and the ticket taker had a futher discussion which resulted in a fight. A policeman arrested Mr. McAULIFFE, who was discharg= ed the next day. Soon afterward he sued the Manhattan Railway Company, alleging that his arrest and imprisionment were malicious. The jury gave the plaintiff a verdict for $200 damages.

In 1882, the complainant stated, the life of ther so= n Charles was insured for $2000 through McDERMOT. The son died in November last and Mrs. McGRATH, who cannot read or write, was induced by McDERMOT = to put her mark to a document authorizing him to collect the insurance.

TAKING HIS OWN LIFE James W. RAYMOND, who lived at No. 33 Market street, shot himself through the head yesterday. He was born in Canaan, Conn. where his father still lives.
