Billy Kern's County Committee Has
Plans for Hard Work.

Billy Kern's County Committee Has
Plans for Hard Work.
The. .seceders from the authority of the
Hudson County Democratic General Com
mittee met last evening in Roche's Hall
and effected permanent organization.
There were eighty-one of one hundred and
one members of the new organization
present.
Judge Rankin, who has presided over
the previous meetings, declined to WELD
the gavel longer, and w. f. Ritter, was
appointed temporary chairman in his
place The committee on organization
then reported the following permanent
officers. who were duly elected:-W.
f. Ritter, president; Charles +.
Rue and Charles d. J. Nolke
vice presidents; Alderman Michael J.
ward J. McCaffery, financial secretary;
William f. Kern, treasurer. A COM
mittee, consisting of William +. Kern.
Patrick Sheran, Judge Rankin, Dennis
Gallagher and r. b. Brockaway, was ap-
pointed to arrange for series OF mass
meetings to be held throughout the
county.
A proposition was made to levy an
assessment upon the members of the new
organization, but it met with such strenu-
GUS opposition that 1t was withdrawn. A
voluntary collection, however, was taken
up and 1856 was soon collected.
The new organization means to wage
war on the old County Committee and
will contest its authority in every district
throughout the county; The mass meet
ings arranged for will be held often,
and decided effort will be made to
wean the allegiance of the mem
bers of the party from what the
committee designates as the "old ma
chine.n The new committee will also
run candidates of its own in all the dis
tricts at the coming. election, and the
prospect of fight, like that between
Tammany Hall and the County Democ-
racy in New York, within the Democratic
party of this county is most fiattering.

ALEXANDER sULLIvANS PLUNGEs.
Another Loss In Speculstions Discovered
by the Cronin Grand Jury.

Another Loss In Speculatfons discovered
by the Cronin Grand Jury.
CHICAGO, June 81, 1ss9-Another loss of
$4,000 met with by Alexander Sullivan
through his speculations was discovered
by the Grand Jury yesterday. 1t was also
ascertained that Martin Burke, now under
arrest at Winnipeg, secreted himself at
joliet from May to May Is, and that
while there he received sum of money
from Chicago, whereupon he at once dis
appeared without telling his most inti-
mate friends where he was going.
These facts about Sullivan and Burke
were the most valuable, as they were
about the only new ones resulting from
the investigation yesterday. Alexander
Sullivan speculated at one time through
the firm of Messrs. Rosenfeld 81 Co.
Some of his plunges were known to have
been remarkably lucky, and he made
money in large sums. His losses were
smaller than his gains, but there were
more of them. The aggregate of his
winnings and that of his losses were
carefully calculated, and it was dis
covered that although he made several
lucky strikes he really lost $4,000 while
operating through this firm.
In the possession of the States Attorney,
among the private papers of DIR. Cronfn,
is poem which was mailed to the doc
tors Office in the Chicago Opera House
block few days after the murder. Chief
Hubbard, who seized all the papers in the
doctors office, and later turned them over
to the States Attorney, says that the
poem is a very clever effusion, eulogistic
in its burden of DR.. Cronin.
He is also authority for the statement
that the authoress of the poem is Miss
Annie Murphy, who claimed to have seen
DIR. Cronin on street car at half-past
nine O'Clock on the night of May f. 1t is
stated that Coughlin was introduced to
friends of the Murphys as their ''cousin" "
Coughlin was around Murphy's house a
great deal Immediately after his arrival
in Chicago, and was quite attentive to
Miss Annie DIR. Cronin was also regular

games, and they had refreshments, and
they voted the last commencement ever to
be held in the old building the jolliest one

It was the last, because there is to be a
splendid new building there. The next
term of the Academy will open on the
Sd of next September in the house next

THE REV. MIR. sToDDARD's ADDRESS.
The Rev. e. L. Stoddard. of st. Johns
Church, addressed the graduates. He
complimented them, and rightly, too,
upon the ease of their manner. the grace
OF their oratory and the common sense
they had displayed in. the selection OF
their subjects. He taught them how to be
happy by appealing to their experiences
during their school life and asked them
when it was they were happy-when they
had broken some rule or taken undue ad-
vantage of their teachers or classmates, or
when they had faithfully mastered some
hard task and had been just to some
rival. The secret of success, he concluded,
is to be true to ones self.
At the close of the address the orchestra
struck up dreamy waltz, the vast audi
ence slowly left the church, and the young
ladies and gentlemen of '89 of the Has
brouck Institute had put an end to one
of the v Young @ ''i Gentlemen and md one Of the
young ladies will go to college.

Is Still Due Under the Martin Act.
It is probable that after Mondays meet
ing the Board of Finance will make the
first advertisement of a sale of property
under the MARTIN Act" According to
that law, six months must elapse after
the tax arrearages are adjusted" before
the property can be offered for sale, and
then the sale must be advertised for two
months longer before it can take place.
The Commissioners of Adjustment, so
far as they have gone, have fixed the ar
rearages at about million and half dol
lars, and of this amount about 5000, 900
has been paid, leaving some 100000 still
in arrears.
But not all of this is outside of the six
months limit. The arrearages run
filed, and Mr.. White, the Deputy Col
lector is hard at work tabulating the
whole matter, SO as to show at the meet
ing on Monday in just what shape it is.

SOME Canadian papers appear to think
that the United States government is
playing game of bluff on the Behring
sea question. We don't know why they
should think So The administration
would certainly be blameworthy if il
did not seek 10 protect our national
rights. When the United States purchas-
eel Alaska, all the waters included in
the boundary of that country came un-
der the jurisdiction of the United States.
Uncle Sam simply proposes To have
what belongs to him, that's all. If there
is any game of bluff going on ii is Eng
lands game. But it isn't very likely
that the old dame will press matters
very hard If she does there will have

Mr.. Cleveland more than he does the

be able to secure a sufficient following
to rend his party irretrievably in twain
for that is what his nomination by
any convention would mean. And be-
