Blames the Railroad.

Jury Exonerates the Gateman and
BIames the Railroad.
The inquest in the case of Herman Car
man, the old man who was killed on
the Pennsylvania Railroad crossing at
Marion September 80, was concluded last
night by Coroner Brackner and the jury.
John Headden, Jr., testified to the danger
GUS condition of the crossing, and County
Physician Converse to the mangled con-
dition of the body.
Alexander Stewart the aged gate
keeper, who has been in the company's
employ q score of years, and who was ar
rested on charge of manslaughter in
connection with the case, testified that he
did not see the approaching train when
Carman passed through the north gate,
the freight cars on the side track prevent
ing him from doing so; that as soon as he
saw the train he raised the south gate to
let him through, but the man was unable
to cross before the train struck him.
Coroner Brackner charged the jury,
who returned verdict as follows:-
First-In our opinion, the gates at said cross
ing are not sufficient to protect human life;
Second-It is our opinion, Also that gateman
at said crossing is not a sufficient protection
Third-We recommend that said company be
compelled to employ an additional fagman at
that point;
Fourth-we condemn the practice of said com
pany, in permitting freight cars to stand upon
the tracks anywhere where the same will OBJ
struct public view and thereby endanger life
We fully exonerate the gateman, Alexander
Stewart from all blame in the premises.

A NOVEL CAMPAIGN DEVICE.


Mr.. McDermott Presents Answer to
Griggs' Hearers Their Way Home.
Chairman Allan L. McDermott, of the
Democratic State Committee. was in ex-
cellent humor yesterday afternoon, He
has active charge of the Gubernatorlal
campaign. and is giving much of his time
to its conduct. For the committee
he has just arranged great
mass meeting at Jacobs Theatre
in Hoboken for next Wednesday
evening. Attorney General Stock,
ton, Governor Green, Prosecutor Winfield
and Ex-Governor Albeit will be the
speakers. A grand orchestra has been
engaged, and a well known New York
quartette club will discourse sweet
music" so that besides the feast of
reason" that accompanies all political
meetings, 1.-THE flow of soul'' that is em-
bodied in the charms of minstrelsy will
be on hand.
TWO LETTERS OF ACCEPTANCE.
He was disposed to make merry over
General Grubb's coming letter of accept
ance and professed to be unable to see
how the General can get around the
ters-One for Ilse in South Jersey and the
other for use in North Jersey.
He was more pleased than disappointed
with Griggs' speech on the railroad tax
question. The Passaic ex-senator had
played directly into the. hands of the
speech joined issue with the Democrats
on the issue, and served to make it the
chief issue before the people. This, in spite
of Griggs' declaration that the issue Is not
live or impo rtant one. Chairman Nc
Dermott helped to show the people how
important the matter was even to Tren-
ton folks.
A NOVEL ANSWER TO GRIGGs.
Mr.. McDermott had received a little
tip as to what Griggs was to say before
he said it, and he had lot of posters
struck off showing what the railroad tax
bill had secured for Trenton in dollars
and cents, and what the absence of a
State tax had saved to Trenton in dollars
| and cents.
"And those posters" Mr.. McDermott
said to me, "were put on all the walls in
Trenton while Griggs was making his
| speech, so that his hearers could read
them ON their way home"
The campaign is going on in the most
active style all over the State and the re-
| ports received by the, State Committee
| indicate phenomenally large majority
| for Ex-Governor Albeit.

They Carried Weapons and Are Re-
garded as Dangerous Characters.
Early yesterday afternoon rumors that
a pair of sneak thieves were en-
gagged in working the vicinity of Sixth
and Monmouth streets started Captain
G. p. Smith and Sergeant Reardon on an
exploration, in citizens attire. While in
Hamilton Park they .got on to- two
toughs, one of whom, a big fellow. went
into house while the other waited on
the stoop The big fellow soon came out,
and the two started away in hurry.
They halted in front of Counsellor Nc
Grath's residence on Jersey avenue. The
then returned and took q position on the
stoop, while the little fellow went into
the area.
Sergeant Reardon accosted the big fei;
low and claDped the nippers on his wrists.
Captain Smith jumped into the area way
and found the other fellow with a knife
and bunch of keys, endeavoring to
force an entrance, and arrested him.
Meanwhile Sergeant Reardon was cross
ing the park with his prisoner, when De-
tective Clark met them in time to see
the prisoner take from his pocket a
thirty-eight calibre revolver and throw 1t
away. The weapon was recovered, and
both prisoners were soon in the Second
Precinct Station.
The Captains man described himself as
William Wilson, aged twenty-one, and
the other as Michael Lynn, twenty-three,
both of No. 100 Oliver street, New York.
Lynch was heard to say to his compan-
ion that ''he would have done de red mob
up If de udder feller hadn't cum along. "
''Red mob" was the irreverent manner in
which he referred Sergeant Reardon.
The men were arraigned before Justice
Stilsing this morning upon a charge OF
disorderly conduct. When the above cir
cumstances had been narrated in court
Justice Stilsing explained the various
charges upon which the men could be
held under the circumstances. He said
| that they could be sent to the peniten,
tiary for carrying concealed weapons and
that the examination would be postponed
until Monday.
Lynch was extremely anxious to plead
guilty to carrying the weapon then and
there, and to take the punishment
but at the suggestion Of Judge McGrath
the men were remanded till Monday
The police are of the opinion that they
have two dangerous sneak thieves in
custody and have sent to New York fol
their records.

AFTER AUSTRIA'S CONSUL
He Came Near Being Arrest
ed in the BaruCh Case.
BUT THE BARON SKIPPED OUT.
1t Was a Squabble Over the Papers
of the Embezzling Austrian.

There was great scene of excitement
about the Fuller building this morning
which was augmented by the presence OF
Chief Murphy, Policeman Enoch Riche-
rich and Detective Dalton.
1t was said that they were there to ar
rest the Austrian Consul General, but no
arrests were made.
When Simon Barucf the Austrian,
who, it is alleged, fed to this country with
a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry,
bonds and diamonds which he had pur-
chased with money which he
had embezzled from the Austrian
government, was arrested in Ho-
boken, about 100000 in Austrian
coupon bonds, French bills of exchange
and gold were seized at Busch's Hotel
erty was sealed and deposited in the First
National Bank of this city in the name of
the Sheriff and Baron Won PalitSchek,
the Austrian Consul.
Baruch's counsel claim that among the
property SO seized were some bonds and
other papers, the personal property OF
Baruch, and they made demand upon
the consul for their return to Baruch or
this representatives.
A DEMAND FOR THE PAPERS.
This morning there was consultation
over the matter in the office of Randolph,
Condict & Black, who represent the
baron in this city. There were present
Mr.. Randolph, the consufs counsel; Mr..
Loewy, of New York, who represents
Baruch and his Jersey City counsel, and
Deputy Sheriff McPhillips. A demand
was made upon the consul for the papers
and he refused to give them up.
Mr.. McPhillips, it is said, relinquished
any claim which he might have on the
property, but the Consul refused to
do SO.
Then there was some talk of arresting
him, and Messenger was despatched for
policeman, and Chief Murphy was re-
quested by telephone to come down to
Mr.. Randolph's office Immediately.
THE CONSUL SKIPS.
In the meantime the Baron Won Palit-
schek, Consul-General of Austria, in the
city of New York, put aside his imperial
dignity and hastily fled to the metropolis
The messenger soon returned with Po-
liceman Richerich, who was told to wait
in the hall below, as he might be wanted
later.
Shortly afterward the Chief arrived,
and after consultation with Baruch's s
Jersey City counsel left the building. In
a few minutes Detective Dalton appeared
on the scene and relieved Richerich. Dal-
ton guarded the place until two o'clock
this afternoon, when he was relieved.

WHO SHALL BOSS THE KANAKASq
England Wants Uncle Sam to GobbIe the
Sandwich Islands.

Sandwich Islands.
By Cable to the United Press.
LONDON, October 12, 1SS9.-The Times
says that in view of the amount of Eng
lish capital invested in the Sandwich
Islands, England could not see them pass
into the hands of any foreign power with
Indifference, but that their acquisition by
the United States would be regarded with
more equanimity than their spoliation
by any European power, to which
the British Government would never
submit The whole tone of the article
points to desire that the United States
Government may see its way clear to
gobble up the islands, and the writer's in
tention is evidently to encourage Uncle
Sam to adopt such course. If the pre-
sent Tory Government, of which the
Times is to some extent the mouthpiece,
has any axe to grind by inducing the
United States to depart from its tradi-
tionaI policy of minding its own business,
few people ON this side of the water ex
pect to see it succeed. Well informed
men here understand that a scheme for
the acquisition of territory thousands of
miles distant from its shores is not likely
to find favor in America.
