The reappointment of Postmaster Pear
son will give satisfaction to every intelli-.
gent Democrat who knows the situation in
New York, past, present aud prospective
Tammany Hall and the County Democracy
sold out Grover Cleveland last Fall just as
they sold out General Hancock four years
before, and now President Cleveland has
shown both organizations how thoroughly
Independent he can be and that his back
bone is absolutely petrifed! And beyond
this lies two other important facts: Such
men as Mr.. Beecher, Mr.. Curtis, Mr.. Jones
and Mr.. Schurz, and such newspaper as
the New York Times are entitled to some
recognition, and as they put themselves
aside for the sake of Mr., Pearson it only
proper that he should be selected to sucs
coed himself. We say this as one who has
been a Democrat steadfastly through
twenty-four years of defeat and we say
further that the Democrat who fails to rec
ognize the fitness of Mr.. Parsons reap
pointment does not know what is good for
his party. There is to be an election for
Governor in New York next Fall and we
wsnt the Independents with us then. In
the meantime John Kelly and Hubert o.
Thompson may 'snurse their wrath to keep
it warm" 1t should be comforting assur-
anos to every Democrat outside of New
York to know that their power is broken,
once and forever. They haVe sacrificed
everything during the past sixteen years
for the patronage of New York City-now
let them be content with the municipal
sspap" they have secured. N.

NEWARK, April 4-The illness of ex-Sec-
retaE Frelinghuysen has assumed serious
character, and the worst results are now
anticipated by the fsithful attendants and
anxious family, who await the fatal mo-
ment Yesterday Dr. Flint, of New York,
was called in consultation with Drs. O'Gor-
man and Mercer, his attending physicians,
and pronounced his condition to be critical
He is afflicted with complication Of trou-
bles, affecting the heart, kidneys and liver.
This, with the shock caused by the late
attack of illness of his wife, has been ag-
gravated within day or two. 1t was hoped
that the change to his own home would be
beneficial, and since his return from Wash
ington he has been driven out each pleas
ant day. He. however, has steadily de-
clined, so that on Wednesday his usual ride
was omitted, and on Thursday he was CON
fined to his bed
eek Secretary Frelinghuysen is very
low" said one of the attending physicians
to-day. "His disease is fatal, but the prob
abilities are that he will live throughout

at any moment, or he may linger on for a
few days Whom he does die it will be
suddenly. His family are appraised of his
condition, and they are in continual attend
ance upon him.
The ex-Secretary contracted his disease
some five years ago. when he had an attack
of intermittent fever, which was followed
by liver trouble. It was against the adj
vice of the family physician that Mr.. FIRE.
linghuysen accepted the position of Secre-
tary of State; but he decided to accept the
Office. The consequence was that before
he left his position he was down with
nervous prostration. His physicians all
along knew the state of affairs and were ex-
pecting what has now come to pass The
first intimation of his present serious
trouble was displayed about week ago.
when Mrs. Frelinghuysen was taken sud
denly and seriously sick. Mr.. Frelinghuy-
sen then became moody, and went about
having very little to say to anybody. Dr.
Flint one day last week offered some medi-
cal advice, but the ex-Secretary would not
listen. At one O'clock this morning he
was still alive.

A Pretty Henderson Street Miss Follows
Her Paternal Example.--AIrs. stod-
dard's Virtuous Indignation.
HAL Stoddard, the well known sporting
man who keeps saloon at the corner of
Railroad avenue and Grove street, has been
on big spree lately, and two weeks ago
wound up the racket by clipping with Miss
Ella Harper, progressing young lady,
who, up to the time of her rash elopement,
had lived with her aged mother and two
sisters at 403 Henderson street. 1t seems
that Miss Harper has inherited the idea of
clipping from her father, who, about a year
ago, eloped with pretty seamstress. A
reporter called at the house of Mrs. Stod-
dard to find out the particulars of the case.
Gle has been behaving very disrespect-
fully of late, said Mrs. Stoddard. 81 have
been married to him for the last sixteen
years and he always behaved himself until
about a year ago. The climax was capped
when he formed the acquaintance of Miss
Harper last New Years Day. Ever since
that time he has been almost ncessantly
drunk"
'sDid he ever abuse you" inquired the
reporter.
sob. no" said Mrs. Stoddard, 'salthough
1 am very small can manage him very
we'll and no matter how drunk he might
get in my presence he was always as mild
as a lamb TO me, although verv rough and
ever ready to fight with others. During
the time he was going with Miss Harper he
found ready course of communication
between himself and her through young
man named John Colston, who is well
known about town.
sfWhere is he now? ?"
81 don't know positively but have been
told he is working in Captain Days saloon
in New York as a waiter. The girl, it is
rumored, is stopping with him.
The reporter called on Mrs Harper at
her house at a late hour last night.
ssWho is that and plat does yez want ?"
came from inside the door in sweet Irish
brogue."
81 am reporter and would like to know
where your daughter Ella is?
"Faith thin the darlin crathur is in
soide in her down bed, said Mrs. Harper,
: and she's fast ashlape for herself"
G. heard she was in New York" said the
reporter. "Faith thin mebbe she is, said
Mrs. Harper, "and phat does yez want
ter know for anyways"
swell heard she had eloped with"
Bang the night cap disappeared, the
door slammed, and the reporter CROPPED his
way down stairs
Mrs. Stoddard is handsome woman and
possesses all the characteristics of perfect
lady. She says that she is tired of her
husband and will not try to effect recon-
Citation with him, but will continue the
business in her own name with the assist
ance of bartender.

Death of Miss Virginia H. Coffin.

The death of Miss Virginia H. Coffin,
who for the past 10 years had been a
teacher in the public schools of this city,
occurred on the 31st ult For the past 4
years she had ably and acceptably filed
the position of principal of primary de-
partment of No. 3 School, located in
Bright street, and her death following so
quickly after the death of the late princi-
pal' Mr.. Beale. the school seems to have
been greatly afflicted. Both deaths were
caused by the deadly pneumonia type
which has been so alarmingly fatal and
prevalent during the past winter 10 have
known the deceased was bnt to respect and
love her. Her friends were legion and her
bright smile, happy and cheerful DISPOSE
ton both to the young and old, will be
greatly missed by very large circle of &C.
quaintances. She was peculiarly adapted
to her chosen profession as teacher of the
young. The deceased was a member from
girlhood of the Park Reformed Church and
Sunday School, working at all times for
the advancement of the youth both in day
and Sunday School, and can truly be said
to have died with the armor buckled on.
She leaves mother, widow. and an only
brother to mourn her death, and friends
who can truly say they have lost a dear
friend. Her funeral was largely attended
at the Park Reformed Church, Hamilton
Square, on Friday afternoon. The many
floral offerings from sorrowing friends

NO MYSTERY ABOUT II.
The Explanation of Sexton Harrts's'
Grave Yard Yarn.


Sexton Harris, of the Linden Avenue M.
E. Church in Gfeenville, startled the COM
munity Friday with the story of the mystic
rious burial of the body of child in the
church yard connected with the church.
County Physician Converse investigated
the case yesterday and learned the facts.
A young married couple named Perrine,
who live at Bergen Point, are attendants at
the Linden Avenue Church and own plot
in the burying ground. A few days ago,
an infant of theirs, only few days old,
died from natural causes. DR.. Fields gave
certificate as to the cause of death and
arrangements were made with undertaken
Speer to prepare the little body for inter-
ment. Mr.. Perrine went to the sexton and
directed him 10 open Q. grave, explaining
that later he would bfshg the body and
haven't inferred. Mr.. Perrine procured a
permit for burial from the County Board
of Health and carried the body to the
grave yard. When he arrived no one was
on hand to attend TO the burial and he
lowered it into the grave himself, and
threw the earth in upon the coffin. When
he had finished the job he went away.
Sexton Harris was naturally enough sur
prised when he found the grave filed in
and the earth tranped down. He pierced
the soft earth with pole till it encounter
ed the box, and Immediately concluded, as
he had not known Mr.. Perrine, that the
grave yard had been made the scene of a
suspiciously secret interment, in which.
as this recital shows, he was mistaken.

M4sE HUSBANDS LYING.
The Strange Career Of a Woman Who
Sues for Breach of Promise.

New York, April AIN the Tombs
Police Court to-day, before Justice Reilly,
John Stevens. broker, OF No. 55 Broad
way, appeared for examination in the case
Of Florence Morgan, who charged that he
failed to keep mis- promise to marry her.
Mr. Stevens was arrested about three weeks
ago. When the case first came up in court
Justice O'Reilly held Mr. Stevens in So, 900
bail. Mrs. Morgan refused to give her adj
dress, but Mr.. Stevens friends put de-
tectiyes on her trail 1t was shown to-day
that she was first heard from in 1867, in
Androscoggin county, Maine. where she
was married to man named James Robbie ;,
who procured divorce. In Philadelphia
she succeeded in winning to her side
wealthy contractor named Squires. Very
soon after the honeymoon she left him and
took with her large sum of money, with
which she came to this city as the wife of
man named Hendeman. She lived with
him for six months, after which she again
suddenly disappeared, but returned again.
In 1880 in the City Court she doomed up
again as the complainant against Henry E.
Sargent, whom she charged with breach of
promise of marriage. She obtained YER
dict for $4,000, but settled the matter sub
sequently for $3.50. In 1888, one Derago,
an Italian musician, of Broome street, this
city, advertised in one of the morning
journals for wife, Florence answered
him and they met and, according to Dera-
go's affidavit, his affianced ran off with
500, 900 Of his earnings. For brief period
Mrs. Morgan kept qniet. Next she caused
the arrest of Mr.. August Armstrong, an ac-
countant in the Western Union Telegraph
Company. who was kept III Ludlow Street
Jail for sixty-four days, when the true
character of the woman had been discov-
cred. Both Armstrong and Derago were
in court for the purpose of identifying the
woman. When the case was called she did
not respond and from information the
court had it was deemed certain she would
not. Broker Stevens, when placed before
the bar to-day, was honorably discharged.
