The Oxford League.

The members of the Oxford League,
connected with the LIST NJ +. Church,
were permitted TO enjoy very profitable
and interesting programme on last Mon

other of Israel, Following the Bible His
tory there was the time devoted to the
social feature of the evening. During this
time some little business was transacted
such as the election of Librarian and as
sistant, and the decision of the League to
give the proceeds of their next public en-
tertainment towards lessening the debt Of
the Church. Mr. Jas. NJ Munroe then
took up a Quiz on Shakespeare and gave
some choice selections from several OF the
works Of Shakespeare. The interest
aroused in writings of this great literary
genius was found to have been such that
twenty members of the League lhad been
melted to read some writing of Shakes

Following this DR.. A. S. Hall gave
some very interesting information by
short talk on "Eclipses" how they occur

Peak,s keoond Trial

MOUNT HOLLY, N. j., May 90 That a
lively interest is ntill manifested in the
fate of Barclay Peak was evidenced YES
terday by the large crowd assembled at
the beginning of his second trial for the
murder of Mary G. Anderson on Febru-
ary Z, 1889. Peak is defended By Robert
8. Gaskill, his former counsel, and ex-
Judge j. Frank Fort, of Newark who
volunteered his services out OF friendship
for Peaks father Prosecutor Hendrick
son has the assistance of his brother,
Jacob c. Hendrickson.
Immediately upon the opening of court
Judge Fcrt moved to quash the parel of
jurors on the ground that Sheriff Harbert
had drawn the jury without yenire hav-
ing been issued out of the Supreme
Court, which, he contended, was clearly
illegal. The court refused to grant the
motion. Judge Fort then argued that
the supreme Court had no jurisdiction
over The case as II now stood, ard that
neither the defendant nor his counsel
were present when the court issued the
order for the special term. Both of these
objections were, however, overruled by
the court.
The remainder of the day was con
sumed In securing twelve men to try the
prisoner.
AT the request Of Peaks counsel all of
the witnesses on both sides were ordered
to retire from the court room so that
none could be guided by previous testi-
mony.
1t is said that the State will insist, not
withstsndiDg the ruling of the Supreme
Court, upon verdict of guilty OF murder
of the first degree.
The defense, however, Is equally conf
dent that verdict OF murder OF the first
degree cannot be sustained, and hope to
produce evidence to show that Katie An
derson made statements entirely at vari-
ance with her dying declarations.
Peak stands confinement and prison
fare very well. AS far as can be judged
from his appearance he is not in the least
disturbed as to the resslt of the present
trial.

The Rion PAuper PeddIer,

ALLENTOWN, May s1.-Ernest Hark,
an insurance ageut of New York, who
claims to be nephew of Charles Weld
man, the peddler who died at the Lehigh
County Almshouse a short timQ ago,
leaving considerable wealth, is sure that
he can establish his identity as nephew to
the dead man Hsrk claims that tho
family was q noted one and that the
father OF Charles was Clergyman in
Zeitz, Prussia.
He says that Chsrles was educated at
several colleges in the provinces, where
his father held government positions;
that he also received an appointment by
the Government in the Postoffice Depart
ment, but, owing to irregularities in his
accounts, was compelled to leave the
country, and escaped punishment only
through an appeal by his father to the
King. This was In 1859 Having been
informed that he came to Pennsylvania,
upon his arrival in 1867 he advertised for
him in the Philadelphia Democrat, but
received no replies. The attorney for
Hark has Ia his possession q photograph
claimed to be of the dead man, which
the jury commissio toner's say bears
close resemblance. The bonds will be
sold on June 2.

a swlndler.s ssrsra ssnrapna

SAN Francisco, May 81 "A heavy
sentence has been imposed on Simon
Hamburg for swlndline man out of
{9500. Last November Hamburg and an
aecomplice sold to q man named Parker,
an Oregon farmer, certain real estate In
this city to which they had no title,
Parker did not examine the title, but
gave them $1,000 cash aud his farm I'm
Oregon worth t6500. When recently the
title to the city property was found to be
defective Hamburg entered plea that he
had sold uuder belief that the title was
perfect, and would not refund the money.
Later Hamburg's accomplice confessed
that Hamburg had deliberately planned
to rob Parker of his money. The iury
then found Hamburg guilty, and the
Court in sentencing the prisoner regret-
ted that the crime of which he had been
found guilty was only misdemeanor in
California. The Judge then sentenced
him to imprisonment In the county iail
for one year and to pay fine equal to
double the amount of money he fraud
ulently obtained from Parker-namely. a
fine of SIS, ,000-and ordered that In de-
fault of payment otthe fine he be further
imprisoned at the rate of one day for each
dollar. If the fine shall not be paid Ham
burg Will therefore have to serve Alto
gether ifty-three years and twenty days.

ing man dressed In a suit of plain black
clothes and wearing heavy black mus

Mr.. Bolander passed by, the strange man
wheeled around and levelling a revolver
at the real estate agent fired point blank
at him, at the same time exclaimlng: "I
have you now" Mr.. Bolander staggered
back. The bullet grazed but did not hit
him. He sprang upon his assailant and
grappled with him. The would be mur. l..

draw another bead On Bolander, but the
latter was too strong for him.
Mr.. Bolander succ eded Ia holding his
man until two officers arrived upon the
scene and brought both parties to the
Desplaines street station.
At ihe station Mr.. Bolander informed
Captain Lewis that his assa!lant was not
what he appeared to he but was woman

The mustache was false one. The
woman was of medium height, had
very sallow complexion aud was CHASTITY

being Lille Richmond, with whom he
claims to have liv=d for some time. Both
parties claim to be married.
