NEW JERSEY looks like reliable
Democratic state, II the past may be
depended upon TO betoken the future.
The following are Its Democratic ma
jorlties: 1852, Pierce, 500; 1856,
Buchanan, 1905; 1850. Douglas,
i,l77; 1854, Mcclellan, 1901 1868,
Seymour, $50; 1870, Tilden, l2,445
1880, Hancock, 2,0lO. The only break
In this honorable record OF thirty
years Ia in 1879. when the weak
Greeley campaign threw the state into
Grants hands. New Jersey Is as safe
ly Democratic this year as II has been
at any time In those thirty years.

Il Happened in Loyal" State
A lucky thing for the South II wa 8
that the killing OF Republican cam
paIgn club president did not take place
here instead OF In the latitude of loyal

Republican orators would have
preached Of "Southorn barbarismn

vice. Though there seems TO have
been no political feeling in the killing,

sion Of political parade 10 revenge

distorted into the rankest political Of.

duct ourselves more peaceably down

HOUSTON COUNTY MURDER TRIALS.
Correspondence OF the Gazotte.

Correspondence OF the Gazette.
CRocKETr, TEX, Oct. l6.--At the
spring term OF the district court Of
this year John Turner, Britton Turner
and Thomas Stanley were tried upon a
charge Of killing G.. w. MoDzingo in
this county last October. The result Of
the trial was that all were convicted OF
murder In the second degree, John
getting fifteen years, Britton twenty
and Tom fifty In the penitentiary. All
three of the cases were appealed
TO the court of appeals, and all three
were reversed, Johns because the
court failed TO correctly define implied
malice, Britton's because of the in
| sufllciency OF the evidence TO c0nsti-
tute murder in the second degree, and
Toms because the court charged upon
the weight of the evidence. At the
present term OF the court John was
again tried, resulting In his again be.
ing convicted Of murder In the second
degree, and given five years, the low
est term. Britton and Tom are yet to
| be tried.
Newton Owens Is a negro boy about
nineteen years old. At the last term
OF the court he was tried upon charge

blight mulatto girl of twenty. IL was
n most brutal and atrocious assassina-
ton. He was convicted OF murder In
the second degree and his
punishment assessed at ilf
teen years IN the peniten.
tiary. His case was appealed and
reversed because of the admission by
the court In evidence, confessions made
while under arrest, and, upon being
tried again Mt the present term, wa:
again convicted of murder In the sec
ond degree and given twenty years
Yesterday Owens made clean-breRs
confession of the whole affair, impli

Put to Sleep FOrever-The Brutal Deed of
RuRtan.
HANNIBAL, June 15.-Dennis Keleher. a
rough, Friday night approached Lewis SUIT
ton while the latter was standing at corner
and asked him what he was doing there.
Sutton replied that he was stranger in the
city attending his own business and that he
was soon going to his room to sleep. Kele-
her said, ''I'll put you to Sleep" and struck
him blow on the head. Sutton fell to the
ground and never spoke afterward. His
neck had been dislocated by the blow and
death ensued in eleven minutes. Thinking
Sutton had only been stunned and was
shamming Keleher and companion named
Thomas Kinney dragged him into an alley
and tried to get him to rise to his feet. Kin
ney went for some water to bathe his head.
When he returned Keleher had fed and two
policemen arrested Kinney just as Sutton
died The coroner's inquest rsturned a
verdict that Sutton had died from the effects
of blow by Keleher and held Kinney as an
accessory. Sutton was from Calhoun coun-
ty, Illinois, and had told friends that he had
$S, 600 in his possession, but no money was
found in his possession Keleher has not yet
been captured The place where the muir
der took place is a disreputable locality
known as wild Cat Corner" Four men
have been murdered there within as many
wears.

Triple Hanging In Store - The Terri
BILE Crime For Which Three Men Were
Sentenced.
CHATTANOOGA, June 15.-A scene unparal-
leled in the history of the courts in this Sec
ton occurred yesterday in the court house
at Scottsboro, Ala. At IL a. M. jury sitting
on the case for arson against George Smith,
Asberry Hughes, George Hughes and John
Grayson left the court room and at 8 p. m.
returned. The four persons stood up and
the foreman announced that they had sd-
judged the persons guilty as charged and
sentenced Smith and the Hughes to be
hanged and Grayson to the penitentiary for
life. When the judge delivered the sentence
the prisoners did not move muscle. They
appealed to the Supreme court but the judg-
ment will probably be affirmed. The popu-
lace are delighted over the verdict and be-
lieve the triple hanging will work a new era
in the section where murdsrs have been SO
frequent of late
The crime charged against the doomed
men is a heinous one They pillaged the
house of an aged New Highlander named Por-
ter, living on Sand Mountain, robbed him of
$5, 600 and burned the building, leaving the
family exposed and shelterless, from the
effects of which the old man died, leaving his
family destitute. There are ten other per-
sons charged with capital crimes in the jail at
Scottsboro.
