Rev. George W. Pepper in Vermont.

st. JohnsburY (Yt.l Journal
Among the well-known and popular Irish
Americans who have reVolted against Cleveland
and declared for Blaine and Logan is Rev. Geo.
w. Pepper, of Ohio. He is taking part in the
canvass in Vermont, and his speeches are vigor-
Gus and effective. He speaks intelligently on
the necessity of protection to American indus
tries, of American citizenship and nationality and
makes strong appeal to all Irish Americans to
vote for Blaine and Logan. He presents bill
of wrongs against Governor Cleveland, in the
name of the workingmen of America, saying:
Il impeach Grover Cleveland in the name Of
the great army of workers who have built our
mills and factories, our docks and our railways,
for having nsulted them in his veto. impeach
Grover Cleveland in the name of Is 600 car driv-
ers and conductors in New York city because he
vetoed the humane law reducing the hours of
labor from sixteen to twelve. | impeach Grover
Cleveland for his inhumauity in vetoing the wise
measure abolishing child labor in the mills.
impeach Grover Cleveland for the high crime Of
prostfruting his high Office to dictate to the peo
pie of New York who should represent their IN
terests in the State Senate. In a word, i'm
peach Grover Cleveland for being in sympathy
with that political party which, for years, has
been hostile to the rights of labor; that party
which prescribed the freedom Of speech in the
South, that party which, In the tremendous
hour of the Nations peril, declared the war
failure. Grover Cleveland is a candidate with
out the courage of the soldier, the experience of
the statesman, and without the soul Of the pa
triot"

mRED OF LIFE,
A Young xoman's Terrible Jump

syU
 Her Injuries.
 About two weeks ago Annie Gilsner, aged eighteen, came from New York and secured position as a domestic in Louis Bodlander's family at 10215 Court street. The girl has appeared melancholy at times, but did not complain to anyone except that she said she had come on from the West to New York to see her brother, but he did not treat her kindly and she did not care whether she lived or not. Saturday forenoon about ii o'clock she went up into the fourth story of the building and threw her self from the window. She was picked up in an unconscious condition by Truant Officer Sullivan and taken in the house. Dr. Bel Iosa was called and after nasty examination found that no bones were broken. As every body about the house seemed half out of their wits and could do nothing for the girl, the police ambulance was called and the un- fortunate girl removed to the almshouse.
 She was taken sick few weeks ago and it developed into erysipelas in the head. It ev- idently drove her frantic. At o'clock Friday morning she rushed from her bedroom to the apartments of Mrs. Hessler. When she rapped for admittance Mrs Hessler told her to go down stairs to bed. Mrs Hessler was afraid of the sick girl A few moments be- fore she sprang from the roof sine asked one of the women in the house to give her a knife. None was given her, but ct the time great mental distress was observed in her actions. Mrs. Bodlander keeps a millinery store corner of Orange and Court streets.

court Notes.

Peter J. Burke, prosecuted few days ago for selling liquor without license, was dis charged by Judge studley Saturday morn ing The defence claimed was that the beer was furnished to the boarders with their meals without extra expense.
 Henry Nichols, aged sixteen, was before the City court charged with abusing female child named Adelia Jackson. As Dr. Stet- son, one of the witnesses for the State, was absent the case was continued until Tues day.
 Frank ThraI1 and Frederick s. Phillbrick were each fined $7 and costs and ten days in jail for shooting three ducks belonging to Thomas Busby September 12. Thran said he had expected to shoot gray squirrels, not recolleeting in thus defending himself that it is against the law to shoot squirrels before the 1st of October.
 The case against William H. Ray, who is accused by his stepdaughter, Mrs. Sadie Christie of an assault upon her, WAS further heard on Saturday Judge Studley said that he would be obliged to find him guilty of the assault unless other witnesses could be pro duced in his behalf There had certainly been perjury somewhere and he would like to find out where it was. Attorney Pigott, who appeared for Mrs. Christie, said he thought it was about time that somebody was prosecuted for perjury in the City court It would have most salutary effect. The case went over until Tuesday morning next.
 Louis Bender, employed oR the fleming way farm in Woodbridge, was tried before Judge Studley for criminal assault on Cath arine Sullivan, an inmate of the almshouse. Miss Sullivan had been down town till about eleven o'clock Friday night and when she got off the cars at Norton street could not tell which way to go. She inquired of Ben der, who offered to show her the way. She testified that Bender choked her and threatened to kill her. He offered her watch for her consent and she cried out at the top of her voice. He seized her by the waist and she knocked him down twice, yet but for the appearance of the men who ar rested Bender, she believed she would have been killed.
 On the ss-examination by Attorney Pond she displayed singular reluctance to tell where she had been during the afternoon. Probable cause was found and Bender was bound over to the Superior court under $1,- 000 hondS
