cident, and when the gun was being load
ell for the sixth time. the small bag con-
tanning the powder burst. 1t was then

standing together in the road about thirty
yards from the gui; when it exploded. "A

restrained in the presence Of Republi-
can opposition, knowing how good this
is fer every interest.

THE Nec Era proposes to enter into
crusade against the practices of illegal
fee taking in court house row ,on the part
of some of those whom it helped into
oflire in the name Of reform. We bid it
god-spced in the good work, to the up
roofing of practices that are demoral-
izing to the officials and oppressive to the
public. At the same time we beg to re-
mind the Ner Era's editor that he has
thus far failed to lend his prom
ised cooperation to the INTELLI-
GENCER's attempt in this direction some
years ago. 1t will be remembered that
when we charged Mayor Stauffer-who
had served his time and gained his ex-
perience in the prothonotary's Office
with taking illegal fees, the editor Of
the Ner Era guaranteed, if we recollect
Alright, that if this could be demonstra-
ted he would insist Oh the mistaken
money being refunded. Meanwhile he
goaded the accused into bringing Grim.
inal suit for libel against the publishers
of the INTELLIGENCER. They met it
with the demand for prompt prelimi
nary investigation of all the facts and
despite the prosecutors distractions,
enough was developed to show that Oul
charge was we'll founded and could bt
abundantly sustained. The prosecution
was sneakingly abandoned behind oul
backs and has never since been heard o.
neither has the money that was un
| lawfully taken.
While the New Era is fumigating il
old friends on the illegal fee business WI
| trust this case will not he overlooked.

THE fervOr which certain emOcratic
journals show in blaming John Kelly for
the result in New Y orll, and their unan-
unity at the same time in denomcipg
any attempt to show that the vote of the
state was fraudulent, is very remarkable
indeed. If we lost New York by fraud,
certainly Democrats who charge that
fraud On Kelly should desire to have it in
quired into and they should rejoice if the
result should be to prove that Republi-
cans rather than Democrats were the
guilty parties. Why then do they op-
pose investigation while they denouncc
Kelly? Can it be that they are content
with Garfield'S election and find a balm
for it in their hope to break down Tam
many ? DO they hate Kelly more than
they love their party?

There is story current to the effect that
Il Kingston lawyer has prepared a legal

negro and his wife, making them defend
ants in civil suit, which. if decided against
them, will subject them to pecriniary
penalty which their means would prevent
them paying, and open the jail as al alter
native. It is also alleged, seemingly upon
good authority, that a warrant is out for
SIMPSONS arrest, chargin. him with hav-
ing betrayed the girl.
In the mean time Sampson does not
seem to fear any legal proceedings. On
Monday ne procured IN attachment for
personal property belonging to his wife,
left behind in the haste of their flight. He
has also placed in the hands OF lawyer
for collection claim against John DeyO
for $50, money which lie says was placed
in Deyo's kecpin: by Ada. This $40 will
be Mrs. SIMPSONS only dover. She has
not penny in her own right. but by her
marriage she has sacrificed fully $4,000.

or more walked all the way from Gardiner
to Lapala to sec her baby" rs she affec-

woman. Finding Adj. alone she pleaded

and give up her scandalous shame"
She told Ada that she would be welcomed
back, and dwclt Ion. and fervcntiy upon
the wrong life she had entered upon. Ada
cried bitterly, but protested that what was
done was final that she should not leave
Sampson, whom she loved. She asked
many questions about her uncle, and SEEM

every overture looking to change in her
fortune.
