Jerseys Population suddenly swelied

PLAINFIELp, N. j., October I'll
George Van Ness, Of New Brooklyn a
small town about three miles south of
this city, on the Easton and Amboy
Railroad, was considerably startled
this morning on being informed that
his wife had become the happy mother
of a boy and girl, He at once started
for home to greet the babes, but he had
not gone far before he was met by q
Young man who was coming to tell
him tina, he was now the father OF trip
let's.
To say this astonished him would be
putting it in very mild way, but
when he reached home and found that
he would have to provide for four per-
sons than he had to twenty-four hours
before he was completely paralized.
The whole hamlet is considerably
excited over this sudden increase in
it's population, and public reception
to Mr.. and Mrs. Van Ness and the
bankruptcies is talked of, to be held as
soon as the latter are able 10 be about.
AT lasts accounts both mother and
children Were doing well

"You see, Judge, she is clairvoyant'

those kind of people. I don't believe
in spiritualism and all that sort OF
thing, but still was willing to give

RECALLING ANCIENT HISTORY.

Papers Relating to the Celebrated Con-
spiracy OF Aaron Burr.
When Clerk. CoWan, Of the UniEe"
States Court, moved to the Custom.
house, a lot of old papers that had lac
undisturbed in boxes in the old office
for years were removed.
In Strengthening out these papers to-
day, one OF the deputy clearks came
across the papers in the case of the
United States against Aaron Burr and
Hartman Blennerhassett, charged with.
conspiracy. The papers, which are
from seventy-seven to eighty years ola
are curious and interesting documents
in their way, although they 40 not
throw any additional light on the Gel
ebrated conspiracy. The indictments
show that they were brought by the
grand jury in 1903, when the United
states Court was held at Chillicothe.
Thomas Todd, Justice of the United
States Supreme Court, and Judge
Charles yelling Byrce presided at the
session of court.
| Blannerhassett's Indictment reads:
"He being an evilly disposed person
and combined with divers other per
sons whose names are yet unknown
did, on the 10th day of December, 1906
in the County of Washington, and State
of Ohio, begin certain military expe
dition, to be carried on against the &c
minion of foreign prince with whom
he United States were at peace, viz
his most Catholic Majesty the King o
Spaip," etc. Burr's Indictment com
mences the same way.-Chicdgo Her
