1T VAS JANNES PISTOL.


DIR. Converse Tells the Reasons that
Satisfy Him ON this Point.
At the inquest the other evening over
the remains of John jaime whose dead
body. shot through the heart, was discoy-
cred in the roadway at Gutenberg ten
days ago, one or two witnesses swore that
they had never seen jaime carry the pistol
found near the body, and with which he
was evidently killed, and SO gave rise TO
the notion that, if he were murdered, his
murderer took James pistol from him and
left his own behind so as to give blind sus-
picion.
A TArTLER yesterday talked with County
Physician Converse on the subject.
81 am satisfied" DIR. Converse said
"thst the pistol found near the body be-
longed to jaime and no one else. When I
started to make post norton examination
of James remains, went on the assump-
ton that he had been killed by bullet.
l cut deep to find it, but without success.
But came across a small shot. I ex-
pressed surprise, and some one said that
he had been told that jaime loaded his
pistol with small shot. Small shot would
not have penetrated the body as deeply as
bullet would, and | continued
my explorations nearer to the surface of
the body, and found multitude of small
shot, showing that that was the character
of the load with which the pistol that
killed him had been charged. Before had
found the shot, however, a friend of Jam
ne s came in and remarked:
eff you find small shot in the body, you
may be sure that jaime was killed with his
own pistol. For he loaded only with that ?"
At that time the pistol found near jan
mes body had not been unloaded, and no
one knew what kind of a charge it carried.
AT the first nights inquest, Prosecutor
Winfried withdrew the charge from one of
the barrels. 1t vas smsll shot, of the ex-
act calibre of those found in his body.
elm addition to that" DR.. Converse con-
tinued, "Janne loaded his pistol in an un-
usual way, and the pieces found in his
wounds showed that the pistol, with which
he had been shot, had been loaded just as
the pistol found near his body was after
wards learned to have been loaded"

Random Gatherings About the Parade
OF Local Interest.
The Young Mems Republican Club went
to New York to take part in the parade.
An attempt was made to elbow them out
of the place in the line they expected to
occupy, and some of them returned to
this city in disgust. About twenty waited
four hours and half and marched with
the procession.

tried to drive the Jersey City ambulance on
the steamer Chancellor, which carried the
First Regiment, of Philadelphia, to Jersey

also attended to on board Of the Chan
cellor.
The Jersey City hospital ambulance
driven by Warden Osborne, was extensive
ly used during the parade. Altogether
twenty cases were attended by those in
change Eight cases were taken in the am
bulance, of whom six were properly at
tended to, and one was taken to Roosevelt
street Hospital. The Fourth Regiment
furnished one victim.
A feature which will please Jerseymen
who are not speculative was the loss of one
or two citizens of this State who invested
in long booths near Riverside Park and
got no occupants. One man from Jersey
City spent more than $500 for boards and
carpenter work, but never realized a cent,
although when the march reached his stand
halt was called.
Twenty-Five policemen were on duty at
the Pennsylvania Railroad depot in the
morning under command of Sergeant
White. In the evening twenty men as
signed to duty there were under command
of Sergeant Cox.
The Excelsior Association completed, on
Friday, the elaborate draping of the build

drapery and appropriate inscriptions. The
appearance of the building is exceeded by
none in the city.

The Soldier Boys Go Home-StragsIing
Crowds 1n the Streets.
Most of the Jerseymen who figured in
the line left it at fifty-ninth street, and
marched through that street to the river.
Somes debarked for this city on the steamer
Chancellor. For those who could not get
on the Chancellor barges were sent They
were brought to this side Of the river and
landed at the Adams Express docks. There
the special trains we're backed down to re-
ceive them. The xskurning sight-seers
crowded to the ferry slips in vast focks,
and for several hours the depots of the
several railroads were crowded with mon,
women and children. The ferry boats
were run as quickly as they could be load
ed, and it was decided to keep them rum
ming on the Exchange Place ferry as late
in the night as necessary, of ten minute
intervals. The train men on the Pennsyl-
vania Road were prepared for an all night
stay at the depot, but by midnight the
crowd had been carried away. The local
militia came back in good time. The Grand
Army men came back in little sections, and
the number that marched behind the bands
as they returned was noticeably small.
Up to half past one O'Clock this morning
the streets Of the city were filed with
struggling crowds A good many of them
were Grand Army men. The saloons did
a thriving business all the evening; and
many of the men-and some of the women
too-were much the worse for liquor. An
elegantly dressed girl was noticed bending
over gutter on Montgomery street at
about midnight. Her escort was holding
her forehead with his hand. She was evil

were never so busy, and among railroad
officials it was said that the crowds carried
yesterday were very much larger than the
multitude that filed the trains about Inau-
guration Day.

were cleared for their transportation. These
were not adequate to the demand for room.
and the excursion steamer Stockton was
pressed into the service. Officers of reoi-
ments, astride of horses that pranced
around uneasiiy, stationed themselves at
either side of the slips while the rank and
file they commanded marched down the
bridges and on to the moored boats, to the
stirring music of their bands. Those from
points outside of the city debarked from
the trains or their temporary camping
places on the docks, and went di
rect to the boats. They were not
outside of the ferry gates. The local
organizations = veterans and militia alone
paraded the streets of the city, and then
only those streets twas necessary for
them to traverse to reach the ferry gates.
The militia consisted Of the Fourth Regi-
ment of this city, $50 men, commanded by
Col. Samuel d. Dickinson; the Third
Regiment, with band and drum corps,
under command of Col. @. II. Ropes, from
Elizabeth, containing $50 men; the Sixth
Regiment from Camden, with 500 men,
under command of Col. w. Fl. Cooper.
The Seventh Regiment, under Col. e. A.
Donnelly, with 400 men; the Ninth Regi-
ment of Hoboken, consisting of 800 men,
under command of Col. Hart; the Fifth
Regiment from Newark was represented
by 300 men and Voss's band, under COM
mand of Col. L. r. Bernard; the First
Battalion, consisting of three companies of
infantry, containing 200 men, under COM
mand of Col. Joseph Condor.
Each of the ninety-6ve Grand Army
Posts in the State was more or less numer-
ously represented. Commander Nevius
estimates the total number Of Grand Army
men in line at :, 1000. There were certainly
$500. The State generously provided for
their transportation aud furnished them
with rations. The Posts from this city
vent out with reasonably full ranks-about
600 men in all. Van Houten Post, with
their gilded uniforms, presented the fullest
ranks. Col. Gil. Robinson felt the old war
fever in his veins as he marched proudly
down the street, the wind blowing fercely
through his long grey whiskers, by the side
of Commander Meyer at the head of Ia
briskie Post, and shareholder aMike'
Schaffel, with Van Houten Post, looked as
though he might have been originally de-
signed for drum major. Van Houten and
Hatch Posts, too, turned out 200 men-the
largest any post showed. Zabriskie had
rs men; Woerner, 40; Henry Wilson, IS,
and Thomas, 40. s
By nine o'clock the sound of drums had
died away; the streets were deserted, and
the tolling of single bell somewhere in
the city was the only local reminder left us
of the great pageant across the river.

HE WENT BACK ON THELORD
1T WAS NOT THE FAITH CURE zHAz
KILLED KENT

Hut the Fact that when the Lord Chast-
ened Him with a New sickness, ho
Tried TO Cure Himself with Medicine.
The Faith Cure deyotees at DIR. Eddy
old church on Sixth street feel that the
death of policeman Kent within few DAYS
of his cure, is great set back to their
cause, and have been beating their brains
ever since it occurred for explanations Of
the phenomenon. 1t is regarded as espe-
cially unfortunate to their pretences that
Kent should have struggled along for many
years successfully against his insidious d.
sease, before he had an idea of faith cures.
and have died almost as soon as the faith
cure had been applied. He had been suf-
fering for years with consumption, and
every winter was expected to be his last.
Not long ago he went to the little church.
and in moment of exaltation professed
his faith in the efficacy of prayer and the
laying on of hands as a substitute for medi-
cine. He danced down to Police Head
quarters, and asked to be assigned to duty
begging even that a hard task might be
given him. He was put to worl. but within
week was taken to the bed from which
he was carried to his grave One of the
TATTLERs has enquired among the faith
cure advocates for an explanation of this
failure of their powers.
"Why," said one of the lady devotees, IN
response, he was stricken with pneumc-
mia just after he had been cured. We can
cure existing ailments, but cannot guaran-
tee against future diseases. The one who
contracts a new disease should come to us
to be cured. Il nt's new sickness was
undoubtedly t. the Lord applied to try
his faith He CT ID not stand it. He went
back on the Lo by calling in physician
and taking edy the powers of dark
ness recommend /. The Lord punished
him for his wan ! faith in Him. by allow
ing him to die. Lord is gloriied by
his death as muen as He would have been
by his living"
The fact is that Kent had no new disease.
Always before death the consumptive bloats
and looks so stout and round that he thinks
health is returning to him. It is generally
agreed that Kent looked stouter when he
applied for work after heshad sought the
faith-cure people; but that was the un-
doubted sign of the approach of the end.
His "new" sickness was but the natural
prostration that carries the consumptive to
the grave.

MANAGING THE CROWD.

Estimate of the Namber of People Car
ried by the Railroads.
1t goes without the saying that New York
was full of strangers yesterday, and every
body know s, too, that vast proportion of
the throng reached New York by the great
through roads that centre in this city and
Hoboken. TATTLERs visited the several
railroad depots last evening to learn
something about the size of the crowds
transported, and the methods of their
transportation.
The Pennsylvania Railroad depot has
been in more or less of hustle all the
week. But on Friday the big rush COM
menced. All the regular trains came in
in two sections Friday evening the double
sections would not begin to accommodate
the travel, and special trains were put on
the road Between ten o'clock Friday night
and say ten o'clock yesterday morning. 25
special trains reached the city, for New
York. They carried 480 cars, with Is, 900
or more passengers Mr.. Van Duzen said,
last evening, that it was not only local
travel that increased, but it was noticeable
in the travel towards New York from all
parts of the country. The regular trains

making $4,000 passengers carried into New
York on that road alone since the rush of FRI
day began. Notwithstanding the great in
crease in the volume of traffic, trains were
run on time, even the Washington and
Chicago, limited, coming in on time. The
depot presented festive appearance
last evening. It was crowded with
people. Trains were sent out as fast as
they could be made up.
At the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western depot in Hoboken, the TATTLER
was courteously received by the Assistant
Superintendent. In answer to aquestion
as to the volume of traffic over that road
yesterday, the official, after a moments
thought, said: ssWell, can't give you the
exact figures, but can come close enough,
guess. Beside our regular trains, we had
six special trains, and all told carried TO-
900 passengers We haven't met with any
accident and calculate to carry all our pas
sengers out without meeting with any"
At the Erie depot the dispatcher
said 1--WE have not run out any special
trains, but have moved more cars than
usual. During the day we carried about
15,0 900 passengers, mostly from Paterson,
Piermont, and stations this side of Suf-

A Pillow for a Passport.

Taylor's Hotel was probably never SO full
as it was on Friday night. George De
Revere, Jr., was in charge of it. He said
last evening that the new names on the
Register filed 143 lines and represented
probably $50 strangers. Altogether there
were probably 400 persons in the building.
81 had sixteen cots in the reading room, !"
said Mr.. De Revere last evening, "and q
number in the parlor. Finally we couldn't
even provide cot; and when a stranger
came for his key, we handed him pillow
and told him to throw it where he could
find room. His pillow was his passport,
and his bunk was the floor"
None of the organizations stopped at the
Hotel last night, but the building was still
full of strangers

twenty-eight pounds, about fifteen pounds
of lamb and mutton, large watermelon
and box each of blackberrles and htckel-

tlcles until the expressman came back,
when they were turned over to the owner

1t was not the fault of Governor Albeit
that yesterday was not observed in New
Jersey as it was in New York as legal
holiday. President E. F. @. Young, of the
First National Bank, in order probably to
be fully informed of the effect and scope
of the Governors funeral day proclamation
sent to the Executive Department letter
of enquiry. In response, he learned, that
the Governor had ascertained that he had
no legal authority to make legal holiday
by proclamation, and that he purposely
abstained from SO declaring the day to
avoid embarrassment that might ensue to
the holders, or payers of notes, and in
business transactions involving legal COM
plications.
