Thomas Douglass Hoxsey, Paymaster in
the United States Navy has committed sui
eide by shooting himself in the head on the
old Hoxsey estate, in the suburbs Of Pater'
son, n. j. The suicide of Mr.. Hoxsey is
not without it's romantic features. The
dead man was married on the even
ing of October 81, 1888, or just
five years ago from the time that he shot
himself. to Miss Charlotte Townley, a daugh-
ter of George IOwnley, a wealthy English

roamed the woods and hills together in the
beautiful suburbs of Paterson.
Near the entrance to the handsome grounds
of the old Hoxsey estate, and in a secluded
place, isolated from the gaze of passers by,
was large fiat stone upon which the lovers
used to sit. 1t was a veritable lovers tryStlng
place. 1t was at this spot that they planned
their marriage five years ago, and it was
there on the fifth anniversary of their we'd
ding that the brilliant young man and
widower went to take his life. When the
body was found it was in such a position as
to indicate that when Hoxsey shot himself he
was sitting on the stone.
The house at present stands unOccupied
and is in the care of an old Frenchman. The
lifeless body of Hoxsey was found still warm
by this old man, who was searching about
the grounds for stray cow. Near the body
lay 32-caliber revolver Of a large pattern,
such as is in use in the navy.
A wound in the right temple, from which
the blood trickled, showed where the fatal
bullet had entered.
The dead man was neatly dressed. On the
left hand was a white glove. The right hand
glove lay beside the stone.
Mr. Hoxsey was thirty-four years old. He
was appointed to the navy from New Jersey,
and on September l, 1876, became Assistant
Paymaster, and on January l, 1881, Passed
Assistant Paymaster Three years ago. while
he was stationed at Fort Erie his wife died
in giving birth to a son. His friends say
that he never recovered from the shock, but
it was not apparent that his mind had been
affected, and sorrow for his dead wife led to
the tragedy.

The Opera II ouse.

At the Grand Opera Il ,use last night
the Los Angeles Maenner Chor produced
for the first time in this country Dres-
den's romantic opera The Haunted Bridge.
The house was well filled and judging by
the liberal and frequent applause it's oc-
cupants were thoroughly satisfied with
the programme. The principal roles
were sustained by Messrs. L. Bor-
reman, Leo Goeppinger, Ed.
Lott, E. Falk, Louis Hess,
G Kilgor, j. j. Labea and Mr.. Miller.
They did very we'll, and for an amateur
performance everything went off remark
ably smoothly. The chors was a good
one, and the orchestra, under the direc-
ton OF Prof. A. j. Stamm, did full honor
to the occasion. Messrs. Meme Bros. had
great strain on them yesterday, as they
had to furnish the music for the Odd
Fellows, but owing to their largely in
creased force they were able to meet all
the requirements.

He Was An Intruder,

1t was reported at the Police Station at
an early hour this morning that,as citi-
zen of some prominence returned
to his home on Grand avenue and
went to his wife's room, he
found a mans hat, collar and neck-tie
there that did not belong to him. 1t was
also reported that man was seen TO
jump from the window and disappear in
the darkness. The aggrieved husband
sent to the station for an officer
to pry into the mystery of the case.
One OF the city's finest started immedi.
ately for the scene of excitement. He
had not proceeded far before he met a
belated burgher with a brick in
his hat, who demanded immedi.
ate attention; SO the officer
returned to the station with his patient.
and second minion of the law was dis.
patched to look into the mystery. He
had not returned at the hour of going to
press, hence the particulars Of the affair
are not known.

Police Commission; to probe to the bot
tom all that has been done and consid-
cred by that body during the past
months-since the muddle began. If
the Chief is to blame the testi-
mony taken in the Star Chamber
sessions must show some traces of his
obliquity. There are always tw sides to
all questions. Is there malicious
purpose on the part of any one to un-
fairly affect the Chief? Has he been
treated fairly by the other me mbers OF
the Commission? Have they Or has any
one of them secret grudge against Mr..
Cuddy which he would crafty at the cost
of justice and right? The only way to
satisfy the public need in this respect is
to give the public all the facts. They
will not be satisfied with er-pdrte state
ments and outgivings from a Star-Cham-
ber whose inner workings no one can see.
If Mr.. Cuddy is guilty our good
Mayor knows it. Why does not Mr..
Workman do one of two things, either
come forward like the man lie is and
impeach the Chief if guilty, or say ne is
innocent, if that be the case? 1t is
rumored on the street that within a
week Mr.. Workman has made the state
ment, and that in the presence of at
least two reputable citizens, that in all
the testimony he had seen, there was
not word to implicate Chief Cuddy in
any wrong-doing. Is this so? Let the
Mayor be put on the stand and answer
Despite the partizan effort being made
against Cuddy and carried on at the bid
of his personal enemies, we do not think
the fair minded, honest, conscientious
members of the Council can be coaxed,
cajoled or coerced into acting in the darl
on this matter, or doing gross injustice
in any way. There is sufficient honesty
and justice in the Council to do right
There is enough to demand the proofs
before they condemn the Chief. If he be
proven to have transgressed then lei
every Democrat in the Council vote tc
declare the office vacant.

Let Us Have Peace!

TO-DAY the City Council will take &C.
ton on the Police Commission muddle.
We most earnestly hope that final action
will be reached upon this question. The
controversy which has been kept up has
very seriously lessened the efficiency OF
the police force, and had that depart
1nent been under less wise and energetic
direction than under which it has been.
the safety of the city would have been
seriously jeopardized. Beyond the we'll
being of the city and the question of fair
play, the HERALD has not had, and has
not a lot of interest in the muddle. Their Q
is nothing personal nor even political in
this to US. That the safety of the city
has been in danger, and that injustice
has been aimed at we are persuaded.
Chinese high-binders have been cod
died; they have been inspired to come
before the Council with their worthless
statements upholstered even by their
own worthless oaths; they have been
instigated to make insincere offers of
ridiculously large sums of money to the
Council to procure the opening of their
tan games; their games have been pur-
posely opened up by a prearranged plan
for an hour or SO, and at that time mem
bers of the Commission have gone through
Chinatown in order to be able to report
that the games we're running; these Off
cials have specifically agreed not to
modest said games during this pilgrim
age; and many other surreptitious and
unfair means have been employed to gain
evidence sufficient to remove the Chief
of Police from Office. The work has been
carried on underground. There has been
nothing in the way OF frankness, candor,
Justice or fair play about the methods
employed for this purpose. The worst
elements of the community have been
called before certain of the city officials
sitting in Star Chamber sessions. All
sorts Of things are alleged as to the char
acter of the evidence thus obtained. Part
of this has been made public in the re-
port of special committee OF the Coun-
Gil appointed to investigate the doings OF
the Police Commission. This all bore
ON a single member Of the Commission,
the Chief. Its aim was to make him out
unfit for office, but its tenor was utterly
iuconclusive for that purpose, and in
fact worthless for any purpose.
When that report was laid before the
Council two weeks ago action was de-
ferred until to-day. The matter comes
up again, therefore, in the session OF the
Council. We hope the Commission will
come in to-day with report which will
relieve the gentlemen who compose it OF
the onus of unfairness which lies upon
them because Of their last report. They
are appointed to investigate the whole

The way that the figures about wages
and the cost of living here and in Phila-

tectionists to serve to bolster up Tariff
For -Monopoly-Only is nicely illustrated
by The Philadelphia Record 1t says:
The peculiar methods of some high
protectionists III attempting to impress
upon their workmen the beauties of the
present tariff have an amusing feature in
the case of Joshua Pierce, the proprietor
of the Livingston Mill at Bristol, who is
red-hot in his opposition to tariff reform.
1t will be remembered that forty of Mr..
Pierce's weavers recently went on strike
because they did not think they could
make $l0.S4 week, which Mr.. Pierce
considers good wages for weavers. When
they drew their last pay they were sur
prised to find in their envelopes some
high tariff documents kindly placed
there by the mill proprietor to show how
well paid they are under the tariff and
how much better off they are than their
fellows in England.
One of the papers was entitled ga

men," and was reprint of New York

how badly labor is paid in such we'll

If the gentlemen really swore to the
accuracy of the figures given, their con-
sciences must be of unusual elasticity.

ments which Messrs. Porter and Price
have sworn to be true. Here are some
of the prices of clothing as given in the
