FOUL PLAY OR POLLY-WHICH7
A Thanksgiving Morning Mystery I'm
Bloomfield, N. j.

On Thanksgiving Eve Mr. Bernard Reynolds, Of
Bloomfield, N. j., left his home to attend q ball
somewhere in the neighborhood. He had on his
person, 1t is supposed, several hundred dollars.
About two O'Clock on Thanksgiving morning he
started for home, being then in that condition
which wcather-beaten marines describe as "three
sheets in the wind" Until sunday last nothing
was heard or seen Of him. On that day his body
was found floating in the Morris Canal,
near to Bloomfield lock- It had evidently
been In the water some time. The clothes were
torn and the head badly gashed In the pockets
were found only some thirty-nve cents Opinions
vary as to his fate. Some are OF opinion that he
Is undoubtedly victim OF foul play, while others
say that his home route being along the canal he
must have fallen In. There Is also some rumor OF
a disturbance having taken place near the canal
early on Thanksgiving morning. These facts hav-
ing come TO the knowledge OF the county ply
sician he has deemed II proper to order an in
quest which WIN be held this forenoon.

mus against the Comptroller on behalf OF Michael

vices. Mr.. Samuel q. Courtney, who made the ap-
pcation, read an afldavit OF Mr.. Cunc setting
forth his appointment, his discharge OF the duties
appertaining TO such an appointment, his applica-
refusal to pay him. The defence was that he had
not performed the services Judge Barrett held
that the defence was not tenable and ordered
mandanms to issue directing the Comptroller TO
pay the claim.
