The last surviving slave in Warren
County, this State. has just been sent to
the poor house. He was sold in 1929 for
$3.50, and he remained the property of the
purchaser, having refused to accept his
freedom under the emancipation law passed
by this State. Phillip Mowbray, who
bought him from his original owner, has
long been dead, but Jack" as he is
called, has been passed along with the
other "chattles." In this way he became
the properly of Senator Mowbray and two
sisters. They declined to either have
ssJack" partitioned or to throw dice for
him. When they died they left fund of
$4,000, the interest of which was to be APP
Piled to g Jacks support during his life
time. slack " has at last become old and
helpless, there is no one to look after him,
and the county has agreed to take proper
care Of the old man for the interest on the
fund. It is not much, to be sure, but it is
enough to keep the old man comfortable in
a district where living is cheap, and ''Jack"
is lucky in having q reserve fund to fall
back on. At four per cent. it gives s'Jack"
si6O year, or little more than So a
week. "Jack's head was very level when
he refused to be emancipated. If he were
free man he would have had to scratch
for living all bis life, and the chances are
that he would have starved to death long
ago, for he has not been able to work for
many years.

A Great Business Built Up on n False Re-
port of a Fortune.
EAGLE Pass, Texas, Oct. 17-About eight
months ago there drifted into Eagle Pass
man who began peddling with pack on
his shoulders 1t few weeks he became
proprietor of small dry goods store, under
the name of M. D. Spiro. Then came the
report and legal documents from Germany,
stating thai Spiro had fallen heir to 162, 900
marks by the death of a wealthy uncle.
Immediately on receipt of the news Spiro
branched out in business on an extensive
SCALE M. 8. Steinhardt, of this place, was
taken in as partner. They established Zig
credit on Spiro's fortune, and bought per-
haps $4,000 worth OF goods of various
houses in Texas and st. Louis. While the
collection of Spiro's German legacy was
under way, that energetic individual was
devoting his leisure hours to planning the
erection of gorgeous Masonic Temple.
He had even let the contracts for the ma
terial. ALI his plans were shattered yester-
day by the unexpected arrival of creditor
who proceeded to levy an attachment on
the well-filled warehouse of Spiro & Co.
Their business had grown so rapidly that
two large storerooms and warehouses were
required to held the goods. 0ppenheimer
had become suspicious, and cabled to Ger
many regarding the alleged legacy, and re-
ceived a cable reply telling him that the
whole story was cunning fabrication; that
Spiro had no wealthy relations. The willy
man has been sleeping across the river in
Piedras Negras, Mexico, for several nights,
and when he learned of 0ppenheimers ar
rival he did NOT come across. 1t is thought
he has no less than 1900 cash with him.

AN EQUINE ROMANCE.
Once Queen of the Turf; but now .

Once Queen of the Turf; but now q
Car-Horse.
The Newark Advertiser says "a mare
that years ago had a reputation for speed
second to none of her equine companions
in this community, now makes her regular
trip attached to car from end to end Of
the route. It is question whether there
Is a horse among all the hundreds that oc-
cupy the car stables of the city that can
compare with this old mare in breeding.
Her pedigree is as blue as the most exact
ing connoisseur in horse genealogy would
require. Nor is there horse among them
all that can boast such a history. Reared
among aristocratic surroundings, her pres
emit position is in sad contrast with the
luxury that marked the first six or seven
years of her life. Very early she developed
remarkable speed, and when, at the height
of her career, in this city there were few
horses that could take the lead from her on
the road. Behind her flying heels during
the sleighing carnival, in years a-gone,
robed In the finest silk, wrapped in the
warmest furs, and seated in the cosiest of
sleighs, rode one of the bellies of the city.
Strange as it may seem this old mare was a
very important factor in a suit of delicate
nature brought before Judge Depue. This
was in her palmy days when the very
blankets in which she was swashed to pro-
tect her dainty coat bore the Christian
name of the inamorata of her owner, while
the rosettes of the brides were ornament
ed with initials (not his) in monogram. At
that time the owner of this old mare was
enjoying halceyen days. He was as noted
for his luxurious tastes as was the mare for
her speed. In sleighing time he rode in a
cutter that was the envy of the street, and
in summer in sidebar that taxed the up
holstering ingenuity of Brewster. A visit
to Europe was made in 1872, and from diff
ferent parts of the continent were written
those letters that later on were scrutinized
by Judicial eyes, and in which the mare
was prominently mentioned. 1t appeared
from these documents that the mare had
been a very conservative figure on those
occasions when mild and gentle conduct in
a horse is SO commendable; when in leafy
solitudes, on moonlight nights, in hours of
gentle dalliance, warm and gushing senti-
ments were uttered leading to VOWS and
promises, which, unfulfilled a year after
wards, led to painful denouement when
Judged jure humane. The career of this
old mare has been marked by vicissitudes.
Her life since her years of pampered ease
ended has been a hard one. She was bru-
tally used for year or two after her first
master parted with her, and had it not been
for her splendid breeding and wonderfully
strong constitution, she would long since
have suocumbed. She lives, however, to
teach moral and adorn O tale.Y

toned as 1t was by the usage of the party,
was uniformly recognized. His renomina-
ton was matter of course. These things
being SO, it only remains to be said that
Che present hostility of the Know nothings,
the dades, the cranks and the aristocrats
appears to be based on the following
grounds; .
LIST. Because William McAvoy is an Irish
man. This is fatal crime in the eyes
of the Wolbert and Wanser parties.
I'd. Because William McAvoy is young.
The gray-headed Mr.. Martin Ward cam
not approve of young men and the gray
headed Mr. Wolbert endorses the gray
headed Mr., Ward.
Sd. Because William McAvoy is of the peo-
pie and has risen from the ranks. The
dudes and aristocrats don't like that
kind of candidate. They would pre-
fer some nice little man who happened
to belong to s'society;" who wore chest
protector and gold bangle, and
played croquet with the dear girls.
No one has yet uttered, and no one can
utter, one word against Mr.. McAvoy' s con-
duct as Surrogate. He has administered
the vast business of his office promptly,
honestly and most efficiently. His official
career is without reproach. His election
by handsome majority is assured.

MIR. Fanderbeek's Narrow Escape.


While Mr.. Isaac P. Vapderbeek, of s2T
Monticello avenue, and his son Stewart,
were engaged in conversation with Com
missioner Leake in Taylors Hotel yeser-
day afternoon, a powerful man interrupted
them by pointing large self-cecking re-
volver at the elder Mr., Vanderheek. For
tunately for the imperiled gentleman, by
stander turned the weapon aside, and the
man, who seems to be unknown, but is be-
lieved to hail from ''bleeding Kansas" was
taken in charge by officer Shellworth. The
Westerner was impressed with the idea
that number of men wese following with
the Intention of robbing him. When
searched he was found to have several val
uables in his possession. His appearance
was rather respectable than otherwise Mr..
Vanderbeek says the man is an entire stran.

was the result Of a mistake as to his iden-

The denomination of Surrogate McAvoy
is deserved tribute to a man who for
nearly five yeas has faithfully discharged
the duties of a responsible and at times
trying position, Mr.. McAvoy was en-
titled to a second term as matter of party
usage and the only effort to deprive his
right was put forth by few soreheads"
who are forever growing if anybody but
themselves is nominated, aided by hand
full of the Surrogate's personal enemies
who did not care whom they took up SO
they beat him. They cared nothing for
the public good so their private malice
could be gratifed. The fact that Mr.. Nc
Avoy had at all times faithfully and hon
estly discharged the duties of his position,
and that he had the confidence and respect
of the community went for nothing.
Their cry was, anything and anybody to
beat McAvoy-and they are bowling yet.
They will probably still be bowling when
the ides of November roll in upon them
and happily force them into their winter
retreats to hibernate till Spring. There
is one fact that proves Surrogate Nc.
Ayoy's tried and faithful service and that
is the esteem he is held in by the Bar of
Hudson County. There is not lawyer
in the county, whether Republican or
Democrat, who does not admit that the
business of the Surrogate's office has al
ways been satisfactorily conducted during
Mr.. McAvoys term. and that is all the
public need or care to know. With the
malevolence that seeks to cheat him of bis
just dues they have no sympathy and they
show their appreciation of such opposi
ton on the day of election by rolling up
for the candidate q majority of from three
to five thousand. Fair square opposition
to candidate before the convention every
man has right to indulge in, but once
the nomination has been achieved, every
Democrat should roll up his sleeves and
help swell the majority.

with testimonial Of their regard, Accord.
ingly conference was held and 1t was de-
