MONEY ORDERs.-It is not perhaps
known TO most people that there has
been change in the money-order
rates, which is to take effect on the lst
of July. 1t is claimed that by the
present low rates the money-order de.
partment has lost large sums of money
annually. Five cents only has been
charged for sums less than SO, which
includes about tseven-eighths of the or.
ders issued. By this rate the depart
Inent, it is calculated hes been conduct
Ell at an animal loss of 100000. The
new law fixes the rate at ten cents for
any sum up to SIS; fifteen cents fol
sums from SIS to $50; twenty cents for
sums from $50 to $40, and twenty five
cents for sums above $40 and rot ex-
ceeding $50. 1t is expected that these
rates will increase the revenue from
this source to the same extent that it
has heretofore decreased.

THE METUCHEN MURDER TRIAL.

DER IN THE FIRST DEGREE-AN EXCITING
SCENE IN COURT.
Yesterday, in tue MiddieseX Oyer and Terminer
at New Brunswick, after a trial Of eleven days,
Michael Sullivan, twenty-three years OF age, born
in Railway, N. j., was found guilty OF the murder
OF Daniel Talmadge, wel-t0-do farmer OF
Metuchen, The trial was probably the most
exciting one held in the Court since the trial
of Bridget Durgan some years ago. 1t occupied
eleven days. The murder took place on
December /. 1t was ON Monday. Mr.. Tai.
madge had changed ten dollar bill for neighbor,
exhibiting, in presence OF Michael Sullivan. his
pOcketbOok, containing q considerable sum OF
money. Soon after he went to bis barn to look
after his horses and while there Ieiled 10 the
ground with datl and robbed. He never spoke
alterward and died on Tuesday. The clrcum-
stances pointed to sullivan as the murderer. On
the Saturday night following he was arrested in
Newark, and on his person was found the pocket.
book and papers belonging to Tamadge
Upon the trial strong chain OF clrcum-
stantlal evidence was found against the pris-

In summing up his counsel warned the

the danger OF convicting men on purely
circumstantial evidence. On Friday afternoon
the case was given to the jury. They remained out

Tney came IN about quarter before twelve
O'CLOCK The court room was crowded. The prs.
Oner heard the verdict rendered with but little
emotion. He sunk into his seat s0rrowIuly, but
father and other relatives sat near him
ana also concealed their feelings. Judge
Scudder said sentence would be pronounced
next saturday. While nandcuiiing HIM one of the
handcufs was SO tight as TO cause Sullivan pain.
He uttered a cry and this caused quite a stir
many OF his friends moving as was thought, to his
assistance. They jumped over the rail and alarmed
the Judge so that he hammered for silence, and
caused precautions to be taken Tor the sae-keep.
ing Of sullivan. He Was remanded to jail under a
strong guard. The general impression IS that the
verdict ID just one. There is no prospect OF any
escape for Sullivan from the galloWs. There is
nothing TO appeal from.
