STATE PRISON NOTES.

The Board of State Prison Inspect
ors has decided to advertise for en-
ploying convict labor under the price
per piece system. The Board will
take steps for building the new shop, at
the State Prison, for which $4,000
was recently appropriated.
Some years ago Peter Reinhardt
and August Dorfinger, were con-
victed in Bergen county on twenty
seven indictments for burglary, and
were sentenced to one year on each
Indictment, making the aggregate
term of each in the State Prison,
twenty-seven years. At the meeting
OF the State Prison Inspectors at Tren-
ton, the matter of time allowed for
their good behavior, as provided by
the statute of 1869, was discussed and
the cases were referred to the Attor-
ney-General for his opinion. Accord
ing to the opinion of the latter upon
Senate bill No. 60, which he declared
was retrospective and unconstitution-
al, it is claimed that Reinhardt and
Dorfiinger will have to serve their full
term, up to 1898, as they were senten-
ced previous to 1869, unless pardoned
out.
A pardon is being circulated for
Edward Sipple, the young man who
attempted to rob the Erie Railroad
Company of a large sum of money two
years ago. Sipple was a telegraph
operator on the road and endeavored
to accomplish the theft by means of a
forged telegram. He was convicted
in Essex county after long delay and
sentenced to long term in State
Prison. He appealed to the Supreme
Court, but was beaten and taken to
Trenton. The application for Sipple's
pardon is signed by many of the Erie
officials and the matter will come be-
fore the Court of Pardons at their
meeting in April

The head of one of the Oldest and

children, and her father was ''the last

He died while she was attending
school in Boston. Her guardian,
Louis Roche, was a Frenchman of

her father had the utmost confidence
In him. Roche, in fact, had managed
the old mans business for him for sew
eral years before his death. The will,
gave $4,000 to the Frenchman and
the rest of the property to the daueb-
ter Roche induced the young lady to
marry him before she was IS years'old.
Two years afterward the propertv

They settled in Lyons, near his an
cestral home, and soon after their ar
rival daughter was born to them.
Six other children were afterward
born, four sons and two daughters.
-Four years ago the last of the children
died, and Roche, tiring of his wife,
induced her to convey all her property
to him, and then cut her throat and
threw her into the Seine. She was
rescued by peasant and her wounds
were dressed, but she had lost her
memory, had even forgotten her name,
The peasant fell in love with her. and
they were married. Last Summer she
had the cholera and came near diving.
With returning health she regained
her memory. The peasant interested
wealthy people in her case, and an
action was begun in the courts against
Roche. She is now in search of wit

property. Her husbands brutal treat
ment will cost him his liberty for sew

granted her on her return to France.
and she will then legalize her marriage
with the peasant, who is said to be an

Several hundred persons assembled
at Steigerwald's Hotel at Reading, Pa,
on Sunday night, to witness a liver
pudding eating match. The contest
ants were Joseph Marquet and Henry
Smith, the winner to receive $40 and a
keg of beer. Smith failed to put in an
appearance, not having recovered after
eating a thirteen-pound turkey few
evenings ago in order to test the ca
pacity of his stomach. Marouet be-
came impatient, and as he had not
eaten anything during the day it was
agreed that he should try it alone.
About thirty persons were present.
Cries of Eat faster Take your
time," Don't choke" were heard
from all parts of the room, but Mar;
quet took the matter coolly. When
time was called it was found that in
an hour and half he had devoured
four and half pounds of pudding, ten
large glasses of beer, five large glasses of
water, three glasses of whiskey, bot
tie of vinegar, bottle of catsup and
a large loaf of bread. Maruuet is
about 30 years of age and laborer by

ALEXANDER SHARP'S CRIME.

Mrs. Eliza Wilson, of 919 Spruce street,
Philadelphia, brought suit in the Com
mon Pleas Court of that city on Satur-
day, against the First National Bank
of Camden, to recover damages for
alleged negligence in paying a check,
which was raised from SO to 5000, by
Alexander H. Sharp, a lawyer, who
was prosecuting attorney of Atlantic
County, New Jersey, for seven years
For the last two years Sharp has been
practicing law at Atlantic City and in
Philadelphia, dividing his time between
the two places. He has had an office
of his own since last August with Geo.
Bull, at 140 South Third Street. Dur
ing the two years Sharp had been COM
ing to Philadelphia he was boarder
at the house of Mrs. Wilson. Last sum
mer he succeeded in obtaining $2500
insurance which had been due her for
eleven years on a policy issued to her
husband.
On December 1st, Sharp gave Mrs.
Wilson a check for $16,50 on a bank in
Atlantic City, and received from her
check for 50. The body of the check
was written by Sharp and signed by
Mrs. Wilson, who failed to notice that
there was a space on the check between
the nine and the dash, which extended
to the ''dollars'' at the end of the line.
fI'hnrn o. leo q hot
in the corner of the check and the
dash which followed that figure. After
Mrs Wilson signed the check the word
"hundred'' was inserted by Sharp after
the nine, and two ciphers were added
to the so in the corner. That night
Sharp left Mrs Wilson'S house about
6 o'clock, and said that he would re-
turn in few minutes. Mrs. Wilson
has never seen him since that day.
The check for $16.5O which he gave to
her was returned protested.
Mrs. Wilson did not discover the for
gerry till about the first of February.
She then called upon Sharp's sister,
Mrs. Franklin F. Westcott, of Camden,
who has a private school, and explained
the matter to her. Mrs. Westcott said
that if Mrs. Wilson would say nothing
about Fhe affair she would try to re-
store the money to her. Mrs Wilson
consented, and the forgery was not
made public till Saturday, when Mrs
Westcott's lawyer called on Mrs. Will
son and said that his client could not
pay the money which her brother had
obtained by raising the check. Mrs
Wilson then retained George Bull as
her lawyer and employed Detective
William H. Kolb to work up the case.
Sharp has disappeared, and Mrs. Will
son stated that he had not been seen
since December I'd, when he entered
the cigar store of Bumm & Harris, 2O7
North Ninth Street. Mr.. Shap did not
live happily with his wife, but was
very fond of his three children-the
eldest child is girl II years old Just
before he raised the check his family
moved from Atlantic City to Bridgeton
without his knowledge or consent.
This seemed to annoy him greatly.
Mr. Sharp knew that about the first
OF the year Mrs. Wilson intended to
take her money from the Camden bank
and deposit it with savings society.
He managed to get the check before
the funds were transferred.

The Railroad Commission Decides a
Question Concerning its Jurisdiction.
ATLANTA, Jan. 30.-GOv. Mcdaniel has
signed an order suspending the collection
of the special tax of $50 for each county
on peddlers or vendors when the party is

plication Of James Gibson, of Twiggs
county, who has been blind from in
fancy.
To-day g. NJ. T. Ware was commits
stoned Judge of the County Court of
Wayne.
To-day the Board of Railroad Commits
siOners was in session for the purpose Of
hearing the complaints of a number of
patrons of the East Tennessee. Virginia
and Georgia Railroad against the order
of General Freight Agent Brown, Of the
Western and Atlantic Railroad. which
prohibits the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia Company from using the side
tracks of the Western and Atlantic Rail-
road for the purpose of delivering freight
to patrons of the East Tennessee, Vir-
glnia and Georgia who are located
along the line of the side tracks
of the Western and Atlantic Road
The commission, after hearing the
evidence and argument, decided that it
had no jurisdiction in the matter; that
their power extended only so far as to reg
ulate charges in freight and passenger
traffic and to prevent discrimination. The
board then adjourned. The management
of the Western and Atlantic claim that
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
has been fighting them in rate-making for
some time, and will continue to do so as
long as they allow them to use their side
tracks. To stop this the order was issued
several days ago.
