VIII be, more than ever, the special feature
of the paper.
THE POLITICS OF THE APPEAL
VIII be, as always,
Strictly Black Republican. or "RadicaI:'
And the editor anticipates with pleasure the
probability that in supporting the next Re
publican candidate for the Presidency, he
will support
GENERAL GRANT IN 1880.
Meantime the APPEAL will nail the Old Flag
to the mast, and neither surrender to the
Adherents of the Lost Cause,
Nor give its support to policy which
Demolished the Republican Party of
the south,
And sought to
Handcun 1t i'm the North.
In short, the MORNING APPEAL will keep
on an even keel and stand by the friends of
Republican principles, Republican usage and
the Republican leaders of tried courage and
ability.
But the APPEAL will be especially valuable
as an
ADVERsTISING MEDIUM.
Because of its greatly enlarged circulation.

victed of conspirlng to defraud the policy hold
ers Of the New Jersey Mutual Life Insurance
Company OF Newark by reinsuring that COM
pany in the National Capitol received his sem
tence yesterday afternoon in the Supreme Court
In Newark. After Prosecutor Abee had re-
newed his motion that judgment be pronounced
against Noyes. an application for a new trial
was made by United States District Attorney
Keasby. who read an affidavit from Noyes set-
ting forth that on the trial an affidavit Of Nor
timer to the effect that A. G.. Fay was acting rs
the attorney Of the National Capitol. which was
not offered in evidence was read by the jury
and had n controlling effect upon them
that I'm relation to the tS7 900 United

by Vcrmilye X Co. as the property OF the Ma;
tional Capitol Company; tint Noyes's counsel
had received a letter from gentleman saying
that early in the trial he had seen one OF the

ing acquainted the Court with the fact.
Mr.. Cortlandt Parker argued for tho granting
OF a new trial.

duty OF the Court TO protect n Juror, added that

would Justify an Investigation into the charge
Of drunkenness. The Judge then denied the

lowed the eX-Secretary in an appeal for lenien-
cy. and Judge Dcpuo then passed sentence

A package containing $4,000 in bank notes
was stolen from the Westcou Express Com
pany on Wednesday. and up to last evening the
detectives had not succeeded in arrestnG the
thieves. The robbery is believed 10 have been
committed in New Jersey. The employee in
charge of the express Office in Hohoken said to
the reporter for THE SUN. yesterday: we do
not want 10 give the public all the particulars
made"
When the package was first discovered to be
missing il was not known when or where II had
been stolen. IL was sent from point on the
Delaware. La ikawtnnA AMI Western Railroad
and addressed to person in Jersey city. one
theory Is That III" package WAS stolen from the
express messengers compartment on the
train. and another supposiion il that II WAS
taken from the HOhOkcn Office Of tho express
company. At about the tim" TINT the package rs
supposed TO have been lying upon Il counter in
the Hobokcn oillce. two well dressed men came
into the office and said that they wished To pur-
chase some drawing room car tickets. The
clerk in charge gave them the tickets aud they
rendered n grrrnpark OF a large demon nation
finding money tn change the Ercrnhack. and
his attention WAS absorbed for two or thrac
minutes. The mon then departed. II Is sur
missed that they may have becn the thieves and
their descriptions have been furnished 20 the
jersey city police.
Mr.. Moore. the Superintendent Of the express
company. having obtained what was supposed
10 be clue. went To Orange. y. j.. last night in
quest OF further information, Another employee
OF the express company told the reporter that
he believed the Experimenting knew Just where
ana when the theft was committed, and that he
had information that would lead TO an arrest
within twenty-tour hours.
Tho company viii be- res pOnsihc To- the pnr-
ties sendingthe money Tor IL loss, and the agent

Just back OF the oil depot OF the Erie Rail-

houses and cheap stores known rs Tho
Shades" They form sort Of quadrangle. and
part OF them stand within n few rods OF the foot
OF the ledge OF rocks that forms n continuation
OF the Palisades. and are consequently invisible
from the street. In one Of these houses Mrs.
Louise Wilson. II comely young woman Of 1S.
VINO has been hardly Il year wife. and only
recently mother is lying in critical condi-
ton from the effects OF n pistol or rifle shot
wound which she received in mysterious way
on Friday morning.
little before noon on Friday Mrs. Wilson
was standing in the rear door Of the house oc-
cupied by herself and her older sister. Mrs.
Cluetes shaking out some clothes Suddenly
she felt blow Just above the LETT breast She
thought at first that u stone had hit her, but inn
mediately she felt blood running. and tearing
open her dress she saw the mark OF bullet.
DIR. Elder Of Hobokcn dressed the wound but
m yet he has not found the hall. The wound
has been probcd To- the shoulder blade. and the
physician thinks that the bullet IL Il long cart
ridge bal, such ns nre used in rifles and large
pistols. Had the shot taken effect half an inch
stnntly.
The question everybody ia asking IL. who
fired the shot? One theory il that il was acc-
denially fired by some boys who were celebrating
the Fourth Of July No boys were noticed. how
ever. i'm the immediate neighborhood on Friday.
and the person who fired the shot must nave
been quite near the spot. as the wound has an
upward course which indicates that the assail-
ant stood on Il lower plane than the wounded
woman, and the distance between her door and
the rising ground Is only n few rods. Close
against the foot OF the rocky wall are two or
three little houses. One OF these Is occupied by
n German named Hifsh. Late on Friday after
noon Il was reported in the neghborhood that
Mrs. Hiish had accidentally discharged RE-
volver while cleaning II. Mrs. Hifsh denies,
however, that she has had pistol or revolver,
and she Is much affected over the misfortune u
her nrighbOr. Mrs. Wilson.
The third theory is that Mrs, Wilson was shot
by Mr. Cluetes the husband OF her sister.
Cluetcs was recently discharged from tho
Trenton State Prison. whore he served a five
years term for highway robbery. He has re-
peatedly threatened to shoot or otherwise injure
his wife unless she would live with him. He
tried 10 meet her week ago Friday night and

Indifference or aversion she showed for him.
On the day Of the shooting Mrs. Wilson wore

Strangely enough neither Mrs. Wilson nor her
