valedictorian OF his class. He subse.
quently studied law in Senator Brinksr-
hoffs Office, but completed his legal edu.
cation at the Columbia Law School. He
graduated one day in 1878, and the same
year hung out his shingle as an attorney at
law outside the First National Bank building.
A year later he entered into partnership
with Hamilton Wallis. He was afterward
elected to the Democratic County Commit
tee, served one year as secretary and the
next as chairman, and it is matter of no.
toriety that the administration of party at
fairs was never more hsppy than during
his incumbency. He has taken part in
nearly all the political movements that
have been since put on foot here, and ex-
cept Allan McDermott, has probably pre-
sided over moro conventions than any
other man in the county. In 1882 he was
elected City Counsel of Bayonne, aud has
acquitted himself with such satisfactl on
that he has continued in the position M
der all the varying city administrator ms.
Since he began practice he has been in
many railroad cases, and it has been his
good fortune always to have bsen on the
side of the people. He has defeated many
corporation efforts to take their lands
from property holders, under -condemna-
ton proceedings, without adequate COM
psnsation, and it was through him that the
right of the city to its streets was estab-
lished in suit he prosecuted against the
Central Railroad Company in connection
with the Communipaw bridge controversy.

suit. which will certainly end dissstrously
to its proprietors.
To this end Mr.. Cannon has engaged his
counsel's services, and some in teresting de-
velopnsnts may be expected. The Sun
DAY MORNING News representatives hav
been investigating the facts on which the
journal reporter founded his tissue of lies
and the News of this morning is able to
give probably the only correct story that
has been made public.
Mrs. Thomas Gannon, the mother of the
two young ladies', is dead and Miss Mamie
assumes the management of the house,
and an Al housekeeper her father gives her
credit for being, too. Oneday last February
the family were about to go to breakfast,
when Miss Mamie reminded her father that
that was her regular weekly remittance
day and she needed some money for house
hold expenses. Her father said all hight,
he would give her check.
While they were at breakfast Miss Ma
ME again reminded her father about the
check. just at this time messenger
came t. the door with letter informing
Mr.. Cannon that he was wanted al once
at his place of business. He threw aside
his napkin, arose from the table and was

how. He said no moro, but left the
house. Miss Mamie, in figuring up the
amount she needed, found that bill OF
goods was coming from Stern Bros, which
swelIed the amount to SS5, for which sum
she filled in her fathers blank check.
Nothing was heard of the matter till one
day Mr.. Cannon came into the house with
bundle OF cancelled checks in his hand.
Mamie was absent. When she got home
her sister drew her aside and said to her :
"Papas awful mad about something you
done to one of his checks"
Mamie then went down stairs, and show
ing her the check for $50 her father asked
her how she dared to disobey his orders in
that way. She explained to him why, and
while he showed that he was angry till
away IN the next day, he said nothing
more about the matter. The next mora
ing friend of the young ladies stopped in,
as she very frequently did, and seeing Ma
ME was somewhat out of sorts, nsked her
what allied her.
"Oh," she casually remarked, :" I raised
a check on papa and he wouldn't kiss me
this morning"
Later IN the morning Mr.. Cannon left the
house, but before doing so his daughter,
Miss Mamie, went to him and begged his
pardon If she had done wrong, as she had
no intention of so doing, and promised
never to offend him in that manner again
Mr.. Cannon picked his pretty daughter
on his feet and giving her such kiss as
only father can give his daughter, said
Forgive you Indeed l do, my dear
little gal. with all my heart"
And that ended the matter,
That there is something behind the pub
hcatlon of this story by the Journal, inves-
tlgation has proved. In the first place,
where did Leuhard learn that any check
had been "raised" and how did he know
that the invitations to the reception which
was Rever held, were slowed away in the
particular corner OF she house in which
they were? 1t was a surprise to Mr.. Gan
non on Thursday last, when he learned
for the first time that a batch of invita-
tons all ready addressed were in the house
The reason the reception was not held was
solely because the younger Miss Cannon
was seriously i'll on the day it was set
down for and this can be vouched for by
three young ladies prominent in society
circles in this city who were at Miss Gan
mons bedside on that very day. There are

and is therefore aboat the age of cur
Democratic congressman. His family came
to this city when he was but five years of
age, and settled on one of the old farms
at Oommunipaw. His boyhood was spent
at the ordinary toll that makes up farm
er's life. It was his habit to start, at the
small hours of the morning., with the pro-
duce of his fathers gardens, for the mar
kets across the river, and to reach home in
time to answer to the summons of the
school bell. He was then q pupil in the
public school in Lafaye tte-with 800 chill
dren in it now, but then the place of edu-
cation for only 80, with a single teacher
to guide and instract them. He went
afterwards to Hasbrouck's, and thence in
1875 to the University of the city of New
York-Willard Fisk, Governor Abbett's
Private Secretary and Randolph Parmly,
son of Rev. DR.. Parmley. were in the same
class with him. 1t is no disparagement to
them to say that hard study kept him at
the top of the grade, and When he gradu-

Spoiled Little Romance in the Cannon
Household that Furnishes n Motive for
the Distorted Version of the Affair thar
Found It's Way into Print-Portraits of
the Actors in the HorsewhippinR scene.
Notwithstanding the fact that the curtain
on the last act-so far-of the Lenhardt-
Gannon-Gllchrist affair dropped last Tues
day night on a tableau which is seldom
seen either in real life or on the stage. the
horsewhirping Of young George Lenhsrdt
by pretty Miss Mamie Cannon is still all
the talk in the upper-sen circles of society.
While it is true that Miss Cannon and Raw
Gilchrist are under bonds to appear before
the Grand Jury, it is not at all probable
that that body I'll indict either of the par
ties. because neither have committed an
act that would not be justified by any fair
minded jury In this country. On the
other hand, the newspaper which
has given such wide circulation to
the base SANDER of two well educated
and highly respec ed and esteemed ladi s.
