Concert and Dance at the Oakland Rink
that Fair Women and Brave Men Attended.
Theattendance at the promenade concert
and hop. of the Fourth Regiment, last
Wednesday night, at the Oakland Rink,
was very large, it being estimated that 800
ladies and gentlemen were present. The
regimental band, under the direction of
Bandmaster Fl. f. Wagner, furnished excel
lent music, and the merry maidens and the
soldiers tripped the light fantastic until the
''wee sma' hours" of Thursday morning.
Those present were especially pleased with
the musical part of the entertainment, and
the strictly martial music of the drum and
fife corps was greatly admired and praised.
Drum Major John Brownlee has brought
his corps to an excellent condition, and Iii
the Calls were accurately sounded. They
were the reveille, fatigue, breakfast, drill,
adJutant's, first sergeants, dinner, color,
and Fourth Regiment. There was a good
medley of military airs, called ga Day in
Camp" by the band, from the notes OF
g. Oechsle. Bandmaster Wagner IS to be
congratulated on the deservedly good recep-
accorded TO his new march, "Palma."
Among those present were Br1gadier-Ge :
eral Dudley S. Steele, commanding the
FIRST Brigade N. u. ). N. j., and staff;
ieut.-Colonel Hamilton, Majors Clarence
Steele, Runyon, Erlenkotter, Browne, Hart
ley, Lampson, and Peloubet Messrs. Emil
DATE and George A. Ryerson Captains
Mason, Derrom, Briggs, Bush. and Herring;
Lieutenants Davis and Werner, Thirteenth
Regiment N. G.. s. N. Y, and Assistant
Surgeon s. Y. Morris. 1t seemed that
nearly all the beautiful women of Jersey
City were present. The Committee of
Arrangements neglected nothing that would
tend to make the affair what 1t was-a
decided success.

Those talented and popular comedians,
Louis Harrison and John Gourlay, sup
ported by the most excellent comedy
organization that has ever appeared with
them, will be seen at the Academy Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday evenings and
Saturday matinee of this week, in the
presentation of their successful and uni
versally conceded humorous farcical pro-
auctions, "Skipped by the Light of the
Moon" Since this production was wit
messed here last season by large audiences,
many changes have been made, new fea-
lures and all new music introduced, and in
its present form it is everywhere spoken of
as being funnier than ever. People at the
present time want to laugh and Skipped"
is funny from the ground up. ITS vitality,
action, humor and grotesquensss, that de-
lighted crowded houses, will have lost none
of its charm and will undoubtedly cause a
REPETITION of their former success.

Judge Barrels Speech When PronouneinG
Sentence-Ward Listens Without Moving
MnscIe-WhirIed Away to Sing Sing In
the Evening-Ofher TeIegraphfc News.
NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-Ferdinand Ward,
smiling and perfectly self-possessed, came
into the crowded court room of the Court
of Oyer and Terminer this morning to re-
ceive sentence for. one Of his many financial
offenses. Sheriff Davidson and Warden
Herman accompanied him. Gen. Tracy
moved for stay of proceedings and arrest
of judgment When he had finished Dis
trict Attorney MARITIME moved that tsFerdi-
nand Ward be now sentenced by the Court
Ward stood up and Judge Barrett said
"Ward, you have been convicted by an
intelligent and conscientious jury of the
crime with which you have been charged.
You have certainly had fair and impartial
trial The jurors were most carefully
selected and came to the trial of your case
with apparently unprecedented minds The
Court guarded all your rights and privileges
from infringement TO tie best of his abil-
ity. You were convicted because you had
no defence. You offered no defence to the
ANStbs ~ ID OAAJ u 1uhttcL LUZ COHjcLt1I6
why so intelligent Jury should have taken
SO long time to decide the case. If your
case had been that of person wholly un-
known. the jury need not have left their
seats. On the contrary, your case has had
the benefit of more than careful con-
sideration. You have been most abls de-
Tended by your counsel, and an address as
brilliant and scholarly as any ever heard in
this courtroom was made in your defence.
You were not convicted on popular clamor.
The jury probably delayed Judgment be-
cause they were afraid that in some way
they might be accused of being influenced
by popular clamor, which tended to make
that conviction doubtful | have nothing
to say TO you IN the way of a homily, be-
cause I think it would be wholly useless.
You have shown yourself to be wholly in
different throughout the trial to the charges
which have been brought against you.
You seem to experience no remolse what
ever over the ruin and sorrow which You
have brought to hundreds of people in this
country. You have done more to unsettle
public confidence In moneyed institutions
than any other man of this generation
And yet through this entire trial you have
shown yourself to be wholly unrepentant
for the sins you have committed. This
being the fact must simply content my
self with pronouncing the sentence of the
court, which is that you be confined in the
State Prison at hard Labor for the period
of ten years"
Not a muscle of the prisoners face
changed while these remarks by Judge
Barrett were delivered. He bowed his
head but did not tremble or show any evil
dence of feeling. He put on his overcoat,
took his derby hat in his hand and walked
composedly out of the room by the side of
his keepers.
Ward was taken to Sing Sing prison on
the 2:30 p. m. train from the Grand Cen
trail Depot He was accompanied by Sheriff

4 coNsUMr41YA,s SUICIDE.
Abandoned by his Wife for Fear Of Con
tracing his Disease.

Abandoned by his Wife for Fear of Con-
tracing his Disease.
NEWARK, Oct, 31.-Carl Wegener COM
mitted suicide at an early hour this morn
ing by shooting himself at No. 254 Spring
field avenue Some days ags his wife left
him, and it was thought for while she
had eloped, but recently she was found in
New York, but she refused to return, Civ
ing, it is sad, as her reason, that he had
the consumption, and that she feared she
might contract it if she lived with him.
Wegener was very much depressed in
spirits, and the other night while talking
with an acquaintance said: s'You will hear
something about me soon." At 6 o'clock
this morning milkman entered the house
No. 254 Springfield avenue to supply his
customers, and on reaching the hallway of
the third story was Mortified at seeing the
dead body of Wegener lying in front Of his
mother-in-law's door. Wegener had placed
the muzzle of small revolver to his left
side, just over his heart, taking deliberate
aim at the heart, and fred. It is thought
his death was instantaneous. In his hand
was slip of paper on which was written
letter In German to his mother-in-law
blaming her for all his marital troubles.
Wegener's mother-in-law stated to County
Physician Hewlett and others that she had
learned that he had wife and child living
in Germany. 1t is said that his relations
with his present wife have been ANYTHING
but happy for some time past.

LAST NIGHTS RATFICATI0NS
A GREAT MASS MEETING IN HO-
B0KEN LAST NIGHT.

Odd Fellows Hall Packed with Enthusia stic
DemOcrats.-A Sqeech by Hon. Charles
HI. Winfield, Lawyer Minturn, As
semblyman Bessou and Others.
Odd Fellows Hall, Hoboken, was crowded
last night. when the Democrats of that
city gathered to ratify the nomination of
William McAvoy, for Surrogate, and John
G. Besson, for member of Assembly. Elk
Mayor Peter McGarick acted as President,
and Robers H. Alberts, as Secretary. A
list of Vics-presidents and secretaries were
chosen, representing every ward in the
city. A committee on resolutions was ap.
pointed, who reported series of preambles
and resolutions endorsing the National ad-
minIstration and the nominees in the pre-
sent canvass. These were unanimously adj
opted
The first speaker of the evening was the
Hon. Charles II. Winfield, who proceeded
TO instruct his hearers as to the duties of
Democrats in the approaching election. He
said that the people saw corrupt IN creep
into the Republican party and undermining
it and they naturally turned to the Demo-
cratic party for change, but this would
take time. He thought civil service law all
right and he did not think it right for the
men who have become corrupt in Office to
say who shall be appointed, as is the case
with the present Civil Service Commission.
When President Cleveland arrives at the
point where he can say that one half of
the Government employees are Democrats,
and the other half Republicans then some
thing can be said about putting men in
Office irrespective of party. The speaker
then spoke of the candidates in the present
canvass, stating that the Republicans had
concentrated III .ir energies on defeating
McAvoy and had nominated Wolhert for
that purpose. But he clailied that all that
was necessary in order to lnsnre success
was for every Democrat to do his whole
dnty by ting for the regular nominees.
Mr. Winfield was frequently interrupted
by applause during the course of his re-
marks. aud at their conclusion.
A letter of regret was read from Cover
nor Albeit, in which he regretted his
inability TO be present, but urging the
Democrats to vote for McAvoy and Besson,
the regular nominees, and not waste their
votes on so called Independent candidates.
A letter of regret was also read from the
lion. William Brinkerhoff.
Hon. John G. Besson was next intro
duced, and warmly received. lie briefly
reviewed his course willie il the Legisla-
ture, claiming that eli his acts had been in
the interest of his constituents.
While Mr.. Besson was speaking, Surro-
gate McAvoy entered the hall, and was
received with che rs He was the next
speaker, and went over his administration
of county affairs, and claimed that no one
could point out single corrupt action on
his part.
He was followed by James F. Minturn
and Others, the meeting adjournins at a
late hou~.
