Lewis J. Phillips has withdrawn from the
Republican local ticket and John G. OComnOr
has been nominated in his place for President
of the Board of Aldermen. by experience,
ability and integrity Mr.. O'Connor is well fitted
for the office. More Republicans in the City
Hall are sadly needed. They are especially
wanted in the Board Of Estimate and Appor
tionment to take mp and continue the good
work which Mr. Asten has been doing there.
Votes for Frederick :. Gibbs for Mayor, John
+. Plummer for Controller and Mr.. OConnor
for President of the Aldermen are votes for
prudent administration of the city finances, for
more economical appropriations by the Board
of Apportlonment and for reduced rate of
taxation.

A CHASTITY DISCOVERY AT A NEw-JERsEY CHILL
DRENs' HOME.
PHILADELPHIA, June 4.-The quiet village of
Hammonton, on the Camden and Atlantic Railroad,
in Atlantic County, .New-Jersey, was in
an unusual state of excitement to-day over the
discovery of the bodies of twenty-one children
buried in small plot of ground attached to a sani-
tarium called The NIvisOn Home, under the super
vision of Miss S. S. NivsOn
An examination by the doctors brought to light
the information that out Of twenty-three babies
sent to the Home within the past few months, only
two are now alive. An explanation of the
absence of the others was found, when the
physicians were led into the yard and
twenty-one bodies exhumed. The bodies lay
in soap boxes and barrels at the bottom Of deep
trench. Upon the inquiry for the certificates of
death the physicians were told that at the death
of each unfortunate without communication TO the
county authorities the little were buried IL
such empty boxes as could be found.
The coroner was summoned and after taking the
testimony the jury found that twenty0ne children
died from natural causes aggravated by the neglect
of Miss NvisOn, improper sanitary arrangements,
and the gross incOmpetency of the nurses In charge.
he case was then placed in the hands Of Prose-
cutor Joseph Thompson, of Atlantic County.
