BETRAYED BY HIS WIFE.

How the Detectives Caught Burglar
Jimmy Ward Yesterday Afternoon.
Early yesterday morning Policeman
Barry saw two men suspiciously running
along Payonia avenue, each carrying a
large bundle. He gave chase and cap
tured one of the men, who gave his name
as Murray. The bundle he carried proved
to be half a dozen Smyrna rugs. The
other man escaped. Investigation led to
the fact that the house furnishing store at
No. 167 Pavonia venue had been entered
from the rear by prying open the window
shutters, cutting a piece of glass from u
pane, removing the catch, lowering the
top sash and climbing over. The value Of
the goods stolen was estimated yesterday
at $125.
About nine o'clock in the morning
another bundle of rugs was found in a
neighboring' yard and a marbleized iron
clock with a bronze image covered up with
stones near by.
About two o'clock in the afternoon
Patrolman Goetz, while on duty at the
Pavonia Ferry, saw a I'M enter the
ferry house carrying a clock similar to
one missing at the raided store. He ar.
rested her and took her to the Second
Precinct station where she w~asfecognized
as Sarah McNulty, q sister 70 James Nc
Nulty, alias Ward, a noted burglar.
Policeman Hunt was detailed to watch
her premises on PROVOST street. After an
hour had elapsed McNulty made his APP
pearance. He was Immediately arrested,
the house searched and the balance of the
stolen property was recovered.
McNulty committed a masked burglary

MAY SUCCEED BRADLEY.

Judge Dixon Talked of for the United
States Supreme Court.
That there is the bitterest kind of a fight
in some quarters against the reappoint-
ment of Judge Jonathan Dixon, of this
city, has already been shown in these
columns. The Paterson Guardian began
to shout against him because at one time
he rendered q decision that did not please
it, and since then pressure has been put
o the Governor to appoint q Democrat in
his place.
Subsequently the liquor interests com
bined against him because it was his vote
that declared local option constitutional.
The liquor contingent say that with a full
Bench, the law will be declared unconsti-
%tutional, and that Judge Dixon's vote was
cast for the law for the partisan purpose
of forcing the Democrats into the EN-
barrassments they are now en%countering.
Governor Green refuses to conflde to
anybody what action he progresses to take
in the premises; but it is known that SEN
ator Mcpherson and some other conspicu-
Gus Democrats in the State. are strongly
urging the reappointment ofthe Judge.
Within the last few days rumors have
| prevailed on the streets that If Judge
Dixon be displaced from the State Su-
preme Court bench, he may be promoted
to the Supreme Court of the United
| States. Justice Bradley, of Newark, is
| about to go On the retired list. He would
have. withdrawn from the bench of the
Federal Supreme Court, some time ago. it
is said, but for the certainty that a Demo-
cratic President would appoint a Demo
crat to succeed him. Now that the Adj
ministration is Republican, it is not likely
| that his retirement viii be long delayed.
| Andas Judge Bradley is a Jerseyman, it is
insisted that u Jerseyman shall succeed
him eand Judge. Dixon's chances are
thought toybe fairly good.

At Gutenberg Yesterday.

An enormous crowd took advantage of
the bright weather yesterday and attended
the races at North Hudson Driving Park,
where they found no less than ~thirty-four
bookmakers in attendance to serve their
betting proclivities. Three favorites We're
successful, and all were good betting
races.
For the fourth race, at six furlongs, in
which were the two favorites Tom Kearns
and DR.. Jekyll, both were heavily backed.
The chances of the latter were ruined by
his being crowded on to the fence, SO much
SO that his rider, Foster, had the flesh of
his leg torn, and had TO be lifted from his
saddle at the conclusion of the race.
Jockey Penny, IN Bass Viol, kept his
wavering horse straight and won a very
easy race.
The track was in good condition, CON
sldering past weather, being only a little
heavy on the turns.

THE APRIL TERM MAY BE HELD.
Bill Introduced in the Legislature to Re-
Iieve the Sheriff.

Bill Introduced in the Legislature to Re-
lieve the Sheriff.
Considerable anxiety has been felt
among attaches of the court and persons
having business there, as to whether the
action of the Governor in signing the
Jury Commission repeater prevented
the holding Of the April term
of Court. Under the law as it stood it
did. The law demanded that the petit
jury should be drawn four weeks before
the April Term should begin. The Gov
ernor signed the repeating bill too late to
permit the Sheriff to draw the jury, and
the jury Commission. having ceased to
exist, cannot.
TO overcome this Senator Edwards yes
terday introduced a bill which is expected
to become q law this week, authorizing
the law Judge Of the county to direct the
Sheriff at any day within thirty days of
the first day of q term to draw q petit jury.
The law in no manner affects the Grand
Jury. The usual April term Of court viii
probably be held, and Sheriff Davis will
draw the petit jury.

William McGarrahan, Journalist.

William Nc arrahan, Journalist.
By the death of William McGarra-
han, New York journalism loses one of
its best ornaments. His friends meet
with a bereavement no adequate sense
of which can be conveyed in words.
In any other branch of literature
than journalism the same abilities
which gained for him a repute that
extended merely through professional
circles would have made him a lame
known of all to whom fancy, taste and
polished phrase are pleasant things.
His admirable writings in the Herald
and Times have in the years gone by
delighted tens of thousands of the read
ers of these papers, and yet his name
will live only in the memories of those
who knew him as he was.
1t is undeniable that newspaper
work is the most ungrateful form of
human industry. Few gain in its
pursuit those material advantages
which commerce offers as a compensa-
ton for the lack of fame. And fewer
still are they who ever pierce the veil
Of impersonality which is the shroud
of earnest effort.
But, directly or indirectly, the life of
a man like McGarrahan is not without
fruition. Unseen, unknown, he still,
leaves his mark upon the page of time.
What happy thought, what burst of
generous feeling may have made i'm
preston here and there, no human
mind may determine. But if honor,
truth and beauty are things that must
prevail in this world and shall reap
honor in eternity, then the fine spirit
that has passed away will find a rich
and plenteous harvest in the great
hereafter.

HIGH PRICED TROTTERS.
A Two-Year-Old Son of STEAMBOAT Sold
for @e6, 600.

A Two-Year-Oid Son of STEAMBOAT Sold
for $4,000
Another instance was afforded yester-
day of realizing the vast increase Of values
in trotting horsetiesh. AT Kellogg q Co.'s
auction sale in the American Insti-
tute Building, New York, fifty-three head
sold for a total of $125, 800, an average of
1887 each, and the most remarkable
feature of the sale was that two-thirds of
those sold were y~eariings.
The highest priced lot. and consequently
the most sensational, was the bay colt
Mascot, q son of STEAMBOAT and Mime
haha, which, after a sharp contest between
d.. s.. Quinton, of Trenton. N. j., I'M j..
H. Shultz, of Parkville, l.. T., was knocked
down to the former for SEE, 1000.
Mr.. Quinton is understood to have pur-
chased Mascot for a syndicate of Califor-
mans. He also purchased three FLIES and
has been employed to train and drive
them.
The sale of Bell Boy at Lexington for
$51, 900, and STEAMBOAT, in California, for
$4,000, were both considered startling in
their way. But the two are old horses
with records, while the latter has already
been successful at the stud. Mascot is
only a t~wo-year-old, with his record yet to
make. The large price paid was because
of his breeding.
The entire lot sold were a consignment
from California, and one Thousand of the
horsemen of the United States were pres
,ent. The good looks, size and substance
of the stock offered was generally COM

How Court Bergen Comes to BE Split over
Charges Against Its onnde

HOW court DCIHCA OtAAt W Az 3RAA
Charges Against Its Founder.
George T. Baker, e~x-financial secretary
of Court Bergen, No. 6,99s, A. o. f., was
arraigned before Justice Roe last evening
charged with embezzling the Courts led
ger.
In the latter part of 1888 George II.
Baker, John T. Woodruff and Archibald
B. Freedom left Court Republic, No. 5,7sS,
New York, and founded Court Bergen.
Baker was elected financial secretary, and
held the office until the list of last Janu-
airy. Last September the first signs OF
trouble began to loom up in the Court.
The High Court of England, under
whose Jurisdiction the various subordi-
nate courts throughout the United states
We're placed, decided to abolish the color
line, thus throwing open the doors OF the
American courts to the many negro APP
~plicants. Court Bergen at first refused to
abide by the High Courts decision. The
members of Court Bergen, however, after
a long discussion, resolved to obey the
mandate.
Woodfr1l. with thirteen others, imme-
diately Withdrew and returned to Court
Republic. Baker gave notice of his inten-
ton to leave at the expiration of his term.
His term expired on the last meeting in
December, 1888, and RobetrA A. Siebald was
elected by the Court to succeed him.
After the meeting, according to Bakers
statement. he left the meeting room, TAX
ing the Courts ledger and other papers
with him. Then he went off with his
friends and made a night of it.
The night previous to the following
meeting, when his successor was to be in
stalled, Baker started to pack up the
books and papers of the court, prior to
turning them over to Siebald, but much
to his surprise found the ledger missing.
The members construed his inability to
produce the book as an evidence of guilt,
and after some correspondence had him
arrested on a charge of enlightenment.
Siebald, who represents Court Bergen in
the case, had also charged him with mis-
approprfating the society's funds, but
Withdrew his charge before Bakers ar
raignment.
Counsellor Max Salinger, who appeared
for the prosecution, called John J. Shea,
and Recording and Financial Secretaries A.
e. Trotter and Robert Siebald on the stand,
and despite the strenuous efforts of Coun-
sellor John MeGrath, a member, by the
way, of Pavonia Court No. $500, Who APP
peared for the defence, managed to adj
duce evidence sufficient to cause Judge
Roe to hold Baker in $500 bail to await the
action of the Grand Jury. The tears stood
in Bakers eyes as he stated his case to a
JERSEY CITY NEWS reporter.
1T is merely personal spite that has en-
gendered this persecution. I either lost
the book or had it stolen from me-,

A Grand Jury Complication.

Now that the act repeating the Jury
Commission Law has been signed by
the Governor an urgent duty d%evolves
upon the Legislature in the passage OF
a law enabling the Sheriffs to draw
Grand Juries for the next term of
Court.
Under the old law, which now goes
into effect again, the Grand jury
panel should be drawn four weeks
previous to the opening of the term OF
court. 1t is now impossible that this
should be done. Yet if there should
be no Grand Jury for the next term
the wheels of justice would be clogged
until the fall, and evils of the most
serious kind would result.
The matter is of great Importance,
and no time should be lost in the pass
age of the necessary enabling act, SO
that the Sheriffs may do their duty.

We Underrated our Popularity.

We have to apologize to a number OF
our patrons-a couple of hundred at
least, we should think-for the disap-
pointment to which they were sub
jected last evening. Our entire last
edition sold out quite early, and nu-
merou persons, in and out of the
trade, who called at our office during
the evening to buy papers had to go
away unsatisfied.
The facts are these. Weprinted the
same number of copies as on Wednes-
day, plus what we considered a rea-
sonable allowance for a possible in
crease in the demand. The engine
was then stopped, and the press
sheeted; and the pressman and his
assistants left for home about half
past five o'clock.
About six o'clock we realized the
mistake that had been made. By that
hour every available copy of the
paper had been sold, barely those
needed for our files and for the use Of
the editorial corps and the business
Office being retained.
Pleased as we are at this evidence of
public favor, we r much mortified at
our miscalculation, and shall be care
full, hereafter, to err on the right side,
10 that no reader may be disappointed.
1t is quite likely that some scatter
az returns of yesterdays last edition
.ay be turned in to this Office today
i tomorrow by occasional dealers. In
mt case, the copies will be disposed
NJ SO far as they go, at the regular
Sice to persons desiring them for
c~,ierence or preservation.
