BARN BURNED.
+ +. Souder's Barn at Moores
Mill Burned.

Eight o'clock Friday morning had
Just passed, when flames were discov-
cred coming from the barn on the farm
OF Frank p. Souders of Moore's Mill.
At once all was excitement at the little
village, and efforts were made to save
the building and failing in this, to res.
cue the animals and contents. 1t was
soon found that all the energies Of
those present must be bent upon saw
ing the contents, as the building was
doomed, but time was too limited
as the flames were very rapidly seizioe
hold of everything, The horses were
gotten out after considerable diHieul.
ty. Curt Souder, a young man, was
very badly burned while rescuine one
OF the horses. It is not thought the
burns viii prove serious however.
a valuable calf was burned 10
death, together with quantity Of bav.
twenty five bushels of feed, wagons.
harness. two hundred strawber, v
crates, etc The building was insured
and the insurance will cover about
two thirds Of the loss. The origin of
the fire is a mystery, no one having
had any fire about the building. Some
think it might have come from the
sneaking Of tramp.

Labor Legislation.

The legislative committee OF the
State Federation of Trades, met at the
house of the chairman, j. p. McDon-
nell, in Paterson, on Saturday, and
held two long sessions. A resolution
congratulating the silk workers upon
the success Of their new organization,
was passed, and another urging the
reappointmen of State Prison Inspec-
tor Cartwright, of Essex county. In
the discussion that took place, the
hope was expressed that the legisla-
tive committees would support the
bills presented by the Federation, and
in all cases report them, so that vote
may be taken. 4 delegation of Pater-
son engineers was present, and Chris
ties Engineers bill, relating to the
examination of boilers and the issuing
OF certificates Of competency, was
commenced. The bill extending the
provisions of the Free Library act to
townships was considerd, and was
acted upon fayorably. The chairman
OF the committee was instructed to

That Tresspass Case.

The case of tresspass by Arick Lore,
of Newport, against Game and Fish
Warden Charles Platt, is the first one
of the kind ever brought in this sec
ton. The case was to have come off
before Justice of the Peace Daniel E.
Woodruff, yesterday morning, but
owing to some misunderstanding was
postponed The suit is brought under
an act Of the Legislature, which pre-
vents gunners from gunning npon the
property Of others. Harry Scovei, the
lawyer for the defence, said to re
porter that such a law was in exist
ence, but there must be he thought,
some exceptions taken, as it could not
certainly apply to an officer Of the
law, who was only in the performance
of bis duty He did not have any idea
that it would be a difficult matter to
establish the innocence of the Game
Warden. Mr. Platt said that upon the
time mentioned he and his assistant,
Mr. Gaffney, were upon the property
and were carrying guns. But the
shooting irons were not loaded, and it
seemed necessary to appear as Il gun
ner if he wished to get in the vicinity
ofgunners. The lawyer is confidentthat
Mr. PlatI committed a breach of law
when he tresspassed upon the prop
erty, and he will endeavor to move it
satisfactorily.

ciate Judge Of the Su-
preme Court.


lively stated tonight, that the Gov
ernor has made up his mind to appoint
Charles g. Garrison, of Camden, to be
an associate judge of the Supreme
Court, to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Judge Parker This has
greatly surprised both the South and
North j Jersey delegations. He was not
supposed to have been candidate, nor
were any persons known to have advo-
Gated his appointment. His name was
expected to have been sent in tonight,
but it was not. It will doubtless be
sent il to morrow.
The fact that Colonel Garrison came
here this afternoon, and was closeted
with the Governor, did not give rise to
any suspicious of the truth Colonel
Garrison is a prominent member of
the New jersey bar, and is well known
in military circles. He is a young
man, being but So years OF age, and
looks much younger. He was born at
Swedesboro, Gloucester county He
graduated at the University of Penn
sylvania, and studied law with Coun-
selor Samuel II. Gray, the well known
criminal lawyer. He was admitted 10
the bar Of Camden county in 1873.
His first public position was City
Solicitor, Of Gloucester. He was ap.
pointed Judge Advocate General OF
the State by Governor Abbott, an ap-
pointment which continues for life.
He served on Governor Abbott's staff
and is now on Governor Green's. He
is the chancellor of the diocese of New
Jersey. He resides ut Alercbantville
and practices in Camden, being q
member Of the law firm Of Garrison &
French. The circuit extends in Glou-
cester, Camden and Burlington coun-
ties. The salary is So 900 and the term
is for,seyen years.
Mr.. Garrison, speaking Of the ar-
pointrnent says; The appointment
is a surprise to NE, Il received note
from Governor Green this morning.
and hastily answered his summons.

not been a candidate nor had | any
friends urging me for the office. The
Governor stated that he had selected
Iue as soon as he had heard of the
Judges death and had made survey
of the field. He stated that he would
have sent my name to the Senate last
Tuesday, but was urged to defer the
appointment by the friends of several
candidates"
There is no prospect of opposition
to Mr.. Garrison's confirmation.
Governor Green tonight sent in the
nominations of Prosecutor Charles Fl.
Winfield and Common Pleas Judge
Job NJ. Lippincott, of Hudson County,
to succeed themselves
Mr.. Gobe, of Ocean county, intro
duced the local option bill in the
Assembly tonight. 1t is the same with
tritiing exceptions, as last year, provid-
ing for a vote in each county as to
whether prohibition or license shall
prevail. 1t will receive the support Of
majority of the Republicans, but its
passage is doubtful, as it probably can
not be MADE caucus measure.

man, John Nolan, would give his son
$500 if he would go away and not ap-
pear against Mr. Tuft before the
Grand Jury.
Frank Duffield and young man by

John McQuig took the stand and
explained in a manner the occurrence
sworn to by Mr.. Tyler, in which he
admitted that he told Mr.. Tyler to tell
his son Frank to stay home the next
day, and he expected he'd get s. for it;
he came from Tufts with message to
Frank to stay at home; the message
was sent by parties in Tuft and Fox's
office
Mr.. Nolan also made statement,
showing that he was entirely ignorant
in the matter, and what he did was in
entire innocence of all completely The
Judge ordered that the rule be extend
ed until the May term of Court, when
all the witnesses are expected to be
present. Mr.. A. Pogue, whose bond
had been declared forfeited, came into
Court before it adjourned, and was
sentenced to pay a fine of $25 and
