the questionable honor of being sought
out by a committee of the Kern kickers,
who came down hero last night to be
made acquainted. with the result of de
scent they had made upon the State Com
mittee. Hotel bills cost something; and
walking is bad between two and five
o'clock in the morning all over the world;
and in the interest of economy and com
fort the mass of the kickers decided to
spend last night at home. But they sent
an advance guard of ten ex-senator
Rabe, Charley Noelke, Pat Sheeran,
Billy Ritter. John Schweiller, Bill Kern
Judge Ranken, John Foley, John Kelly
and an individual named O'Hara--to wait

Judge Knapp Opens the september
Term Todsy-His Charge.
The County Courts opened today for
the September term. ALI the prominent
lawyers were on hand. That venerable
and clever disciple of Blackstone, ex-
Chancellor Williamson, was in the group
of brainy men. Ex-Governor Bedle. ex-
Mayor Collins and Counsellor James
Vredenburgh occupied seats at the table.
The Grand Jury was ushered in by
Under Sheriff McPhillips. Twenty-Five
of the jurors appeared. The absenteess
were ex-County Clerk Van Horn and
Frederick Nissan. After the oath had
been administered, Judge Knapp deliv-
cred the charge. He told the jurors that
the first cases to consider were those
where the accused are confined in jail .
Next came those under bail.
The Grand Jury should sit conttnu-
ously until the cases mentioned are dis
posed of.
He suggested that the jurors sit dur
ing the court hours, being now compen-
sated for their services. After disposing
of the jail cases they could have sessions
at their own convenience. He directed
attention to juvenile offenders, and said
it was the imperative duty of the Free
holders to provide for prisoners under six
teen years of age separate place OF con
finement where they would not come IN
| contact with older offenders.
They should examine into this matter
and see if the FreeholderS had complied
| with the law. If the Freeholders were
| lax their attention should be called to
! the fact, and if the law is not promptly
obeyed they should be indicted. He ex
| planned the liquor law, and said while
| they might question the wisdom of the
Legislature it was their duty to admins
4 ter the law.
He alluded to the law requiring magis
| trates to send all papers to the Prosecu'
| tor before the opening day of the court
| and also to magistrates who exceed theIl
jurisdiction by disposing of offenders
| who commit indictable offences undel
the Disorderly act.
| He said that persons who had been com
mitted under the Disorderly act had fre-
| quently been taken from jail, tried fol
the proper crime and sent to State Prison
He desired then to warn these mAgis
| trates and to require them to exercise
| more care.
The jury could adjourn until Monday
morning, he said, as the Prosecutor would
not be ready to submit. his cases until
then.
The court would be in session every
day, however, to hear cases where jurie!
are not needed.

order in Taylor's Opera House about

vention to order as chairman of the State
Committee.

semblyman Marsh, of Elizabeth, was
nominated for temporary chairman, and
the selection was approved with a great
roar of enthusiasm.
MIR. MARSH TAKES THE CHAIR.
On taking the chair Mr.. Marsh said
that the tariff issue would be the national
' issue three years from now, and that
Cleveland would probably be the NOM
nee. There was applause. The sharp
no, no, of Hudson delegate rose above
the noise, and then some one was heard
to say:-''Let it be Albeit"
The convention went into convulsions
Of enthusiasm.
For the State campaign the only issue
will be the question of equal taxation as
exemplified in the record of Leon Albeit.
The Republicans may try to force an
issue against the last Legislature, but it
won't work.
Then the counties were called to name
their committeeman. When Hudson was
called Judge Rankin arose to ask for a
representative. but he was shut up, and
afterwards Rabe tried to be heard, but
he had got no further than "Mr. Pres
ident'' when he was shouted down. The
kickers in the gallery made big shout
against recess when it was proposed, buo
they were howled down.
THE KICKERs' HEARING.
After the recess the Committee on
Credentials met in wing OF the hall
Kern, on behalf of the kickers, offered
them the use of Temperance Hall.
When they got there the members
of the Credentials Committee were
given seats on the platform. The kickers
sat in the body of the hail. There was
much confusion when Mr.. Fell move d
that the kickers and the regulars be
represented by two men each and that
ten minutes be allowed to each to pre-
sent the case.
The room was ordered cleared OF al
but these representatives and the com
mittee. Senator Edwards said
he had been chosen to
speak for the regulars, and was hissed by
the kicl1ers, but he kept on till he had
said that the regulars were content to
leave the matter with the committee
without argument.
Mr.. Rabe pleaded to have all his men
remain, but they had behaved SO badly

membered In Whitechape1.
BIZ Cable to the United Press.


BIZ Gable to the United Press.
LONDON, Sept. 10, 1SS9.-At half-past
five this morning policeman found the
body of an abandoned woman lying in q
corner of railway arch spanning Cable
street, in Whitechapel. Examination of
the body showed that the head and legs
had been cut off and carried away and
the stomach ripped open, leaving the
bowels lying upon the ground. The
police authorities Immediately placed q
Gordon of officers around the spot, but no
arrests were made. A policeman passed
the place where the body was found every
fifteen minutes throughout the night and
saw nothing to arouse his suspicious.
Physicians who examined the body be-
lieve that the murder occupied nearly an
hour, and it is surnlised that the muir
derer carried the head and legs away in q
bag, The murder is the most horrible of
the whole WhitechRpel series. The dis
section of the body showed that the per-
petrator possessed considerable surgical
Skill. The murdered woman was about
thirty years of age, and was evidently ad-
dicted to excessive use of spirituous
liquors. Her clothing was shabby. AS
yet she has not been identified. The muir
der has created tremendous excitement,
and a large crowd of agitated humanity
surrounds the morgue whittier the body
was taken.
Further examination reveals the Iact
that that there was no blood on the
ground where the body was found, nor
was there any indications of struggle
This confirms the general belief that the
woman was murder ed in house and her
body taken to the spot where it
was discovered. The trunk was nude,
and a torn and bloody chemise was lying
near it. Experts are of the opinion that
the woman was killed two days ago.
fThraa caiiNrS were. sIlbqpuIant To the
discovery of the body, found sleeping in
the adjoining arch. They were arrested,
but convinced the police that they had
neither seen nor heard anything of the
murder or the body lying near them, and
they were discharged.

San Francisco's Chinese Are Divided
Into Prospective Murderers and Vic
Tins.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10, 1ss9.-Owing
to the congregation of Highbinders in
Chinatown, affairs in that quarter are in
a critical condition.
For the past two weeks four policemen
of the regular force have been stationed
nightly on or about the stage of Chinese
theatre to prevent general raid and
demolition of the place by Highbinders.
1t appears that after the Highbinder
murder, which occurred a short time ago,
All Kee, manager of the theatre, was
asked to offer reward for the murderer's
arrest. He refused to do this, claiming
he had no special interest in the affair.
Threats were then made by the High
binders that they would clean out the
place and on several nights trouble
seemed imminent when Chinese roughs
demanded free admission to the theatre,
threatening, If not admitted, to cause q
row.
These characters cannot be arrested
and convicted as vagrants, as the police
cannot keep track of them for ten days
as required by law, and they remain
practically secure.
1t is computed there are fully 5000
well known highbinders now living in
Chinatown by blackmail.
