But John Green and His
Wife Agree on Moth
ing Else.
HE MAKES GRAVE CHARGES
There Is Evidence, However, Which
Casts Considerable Shadow oD
His Eeracity.

and at once closed their doors against
the couple. In the petition which
Mrs. Green was induced to
withdraw, she alleged that her husband
was confirmed drunkard and that he
abused her. She also said that Green lost
his position by reason of his intemperate

Is It Our only Tin Mine 2

EAGLE PASS, Tex. March 2s, 1850
Colonel Holiday, a miner of many years
experience, has just returned from an ex-
tensive exploration of the Pecos country.
He was rewarded by finding a large de-
posit of tin ore in the mountains, north of
Langley. He brings back large
number of specimens, and has
.ested some of them thoroughly The
ore was found on ledge cropping out of
the surface, and is in sufficient quantity to
pav for working it. The government
offers a standing reward of $50 900 for the
discovery of tin in the United States, and
Colonel Holiday will apply for this at
once If tine tin exists, as seems certain
from assays, this will constitute the only
tin mine in the United States.

It's a New Game, and Is
Worked by a Gentle
manly Stranger.
HE CALLED ON MRS. CAREY.
She Paid $5.4o for a Day of De
lightful but Deceptive Antici-
patton.

A new confidence game was discovered
in this city yesterday. and Chief Murphy
bestowed upon it the name of the LEGACY
game
A gentlemanly stranger, about forty-five
years of age, with small light nustache,
and dark blue overeoat, called upon
Mrs. Helen Carey, of No. 1875 Brunswick
street. He took memorandum book
from his pocket, together with a bundle
of papers tied with awe inspiring red tape
and covered with formidable looking seals.
In an imposing manner the stranger
asked Mrs. Carey who her husband was,
where she was born, who her parents
were, and other like questions. During
his questioning he frequently referred to
his memorandum book and papers and
shook his head approvingly.
These proceedings worked Mrs. Carey
up to the highest pitch of expectancy, and
when the stranger told her he was from
the British Consul's office, and that she
was entitled to a legacy of e51 los, which
had been left her by relative in Ireland,
she was ready to faint for joy. She eagerly
asked the Consul's agent when her legacy
would be available, and was told on April
8. Chief Murphy thinks it would have
been more appropriate if he had named
April l.
The stranger spent some more time with
Mrs. Carey III instructing her in the neces-
sary course to obtain her money, and when
he arose to take his leave he casually re-
marked that his expenses in the matter
had been So. 40
He was such gentlemanly man that
Mrs. Carey did not suspect that anything
was wrong, and cheerfully paid him the
money She could hardly wait until even
ing to tell her husband of her windfall,
but when he did return and learned of the
gentlemanly strangers visit he almost
paralyzed his wife by telling her she had
been swindled Last evening she called
on Chief Murphy, who will endeavor to
capture the fraud.

There certainly was an excellent days
racing enjoyed at Clifton yesterday, all
agreeing that it was the best ever seen at
that track Four of the five favorites
were defeated, and the results were ex-
citingly close, heads only separating the
first four in one of the races.
The betting ring was literally patronized
during the afternoon, forty-ive book
makers laying the odds. The weather
was charming, and the track in the best
Of condition. Large fields faced the
starter, and delays at the post prevailed
in each race, the last not being decided
until nearly an hour after the usual time.
The first race, at seven furlongs, had
eight starters, and Bay Ridge repeated his
victory of several days previous, He has
been running decidedly improved horse
of late. Savage was made the fayorite,
but was not dangerous until the last
strides, and even then Bay Ridge won
without extra effort by length and a
half with Savage second three lengths in
front of Tony Pastor Time, 1929.
The distance of the second race was also
at seven furlongs, and again eight ran.
This time there was a rattling contest in
the stretch between Top Sawyer, who
had been running in the lead for the best
part of the distance, and Chinese Gordon,
who is nearly blind, and will not extend
himself unless in front. Hamilton, the
colored boy, who won the Fraternity at
Sheepshead last year, was bestride him,
and clever race the two made Chinese
Gordon trailed behind until the stretch
was reached, when he came with a rush
and was only beaten by a few inches by
Top Sawyer Palatka was a very close
third. Time, 1.31%.
In the next race, at a mile and a six
teenth, another close contest was wit
messed. This time Ten Booker was the
trailing horse, and playing similar tactics
to Chinese Gordon in the last race, was
rewarded by different result. Ten
Bookers rush in the stretch was well
timed, and his jockey, Carson, deserves
credit therefor. Ten Booker won by half
length while Count Luna, the favoritc,
and Osceola made dead heat for the
place. Time, 1904
The fourth race was the handicap, seven
furlongS and nine starters. This was the
only race of the day won by the favOrite,
Firefy rushing out in the stretch and
winning by a neck, with Bellwood second,
two lengths in front of Matte LoOram.
Time, 1884.
The last race, at six and a half furlongS,
had twelve starters, the largest field of the
day, and the longest delay of the day was
occasioned at the post getting them away.
A rafting finish resulted, In which Bis
cult won by nose, with the favorite
Capulin second, length in front of Alan
Archer. Time, 1:251
Gabe Caldwell, the regular starter at
Clifton, who, on account Of i'll health, was
recently compelled to journey South, is
on his way home and is enjoying much
better health. He is expected to resume
his duties Friday.

LONDON, March 2s, 1889. Is nowpretty
certain that measure which has been de-
layed by the copper furry, will be urged
in the French Chamber as soon as is
thought advisable. The rural Deputies,
egged on by their constituents. have
succeeded in partially excluding
American pork, lard and other
hog products, thus raising their
price for the benefit Of the French
hog raiser The enemies of the American
pig, in justification OF their course circu-
late every now and then through the press

among innocent consumers. stories prob
ably hbelous, rs the smuggled Yankee
porker brings the highest market prices,
although sold altogether as French
product.
The same state of things exists in Ger
many, while in England American hams,
such commodities as cheese, fruit, -four
and other articles are vended as pro-
ducts of Great Britain In fact, John
Bull looks with alarm upon the
increasing invasion aud inquiries

His coal is becoming exhausted and of
course growing higher in price, and the
proposed coal trust will carry it still
higher by contracting the production.
The miners are alarmed and will fight the
mine owners.
Some pessimistic financiers foretell q
speedy panic in London which will rival
the Panama and copper crashes in France.
The nitrate schemes are especially lookad
upon with suspicion, and many holders
are withdrawing at a loss. The project to
form combination of tin plate manufac-
turers to control the price and amount of
production, received a check when

by the receipt of private reports
concerning the tin mines discovered in
Dakota. While many Of those interested
in the proposed combination look at the
stories of their richness as exaggerated or
altogether untrue, prudence demands q

be looked upon as certain that if the situa-
ton proves to be as critical for them as it
now seems, they will make a desperate

KERNS ON TOP.
The Commissioner Secures New Pri-
maries in Cosgroye's Precinct.

The Commissioner Secures New Pri-
maries in Cosgroye's Precinct.
The Executive Committee of the Demo
cratic County Committee met last evening
in Roche's Hall and listened to
protests. Every protest was decided in
favor of the committees ticket except the
Fifth precinct of the Fourth district, in
which case a new primary was ordered to
be held tomorrow evening at Bonner and
Iaidlaw avenues.
The story of the fight in that precinct
was told exclusively in THE JERSEY CITY
News of yesterday. Committeeman Cos
grove. who is trying to beat
Commissioner Kern out of re-
nomination, was unable to hold a
primary at the place designated and held
one on Beacon avenue. Last night
he asked the Executive Committee to
recognize the delegates thus elect
ed, but the committee refused,
on the ground that the primary was not,
held at the proper place. 1t is said that
Commissioner kerns has majority of
the delegates to the Aldermanic Conven-
ton with him, and that he will therefore
be renominated.
The other protests were all from the
Fourth district and embraced the Third,
Fourth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth and
Tenth precincts, but they were all dis
regarded.

A Vote on the Charter Would
Be Ordered According
to the General Law.
so SAYS SENATOR EDWARDS.
It's Too Late This Year--Some As
semblymen are Looking Both
Ways.

Senator Edwards said yesterday that the
provision in the new city charter concern
ing the notice of election, to which refer
ence was made in The JERSEY CITY NEWS
day or two ago, is the same provision
that has appeared in all other bills order
ing special elections; and that if there was
clause in the act which had been drawn
with the utmost care, it was that one.
The Trenton correspondent of THE JER-
sEY CITY NEWS had told how several legis-
lators were worrying over the point that
the new bill contains no provision for an
adequate notice of the holding of the cleo
tion, and that, under the act. the Mayor
may issue an inconspicuous proclamation
today, and hustle all his friends to the
polls to vote for it tomorrow, and so, in
default of an adequate notice to the gen
eral public, put it through without giving
the people fair chance to vote on it.
THE GENERAL LAW SUFFICIENT.
AS to this matter, Senator Edwards
says that the General Election law requires
that notice of all elections shall be given
in the public prints a certain number of
days before the elections are held, and
that it was, therefore, not necessary to fix
the time for which notice of the election
under the new bill shall be held, in the
act
AT City Clerk Scott's Office this morning
it was learned that the law requires that
at least eight days notice OF an election
shall be given in the newspapers and that
in compliance with that requirement eight
days notice of the election on the accept
ance or rejection of the new charter will
have to be given. The act provides that
the Board Of Aldermen or Common Coun-
Gil of any city may by resolution, and the
Mayor may by proclamation, submit the
question of the acceptance or rejection of
the act to the voters of such city at any
general or charter election to be held
tferein.
TOO LATE FOR THIS YEAR.
The new charter now lies in one of the
House committees. That committee has
given notice that a hearing will be held
upon it next Tuesday. Next Tuesday will
be April g. Election day is only seven
days later; SO that, even II the bill was
immediately reported by the committee.
and rushed through the House on Tues
day next, there will not be time left for
the giving Of the eight days notice of the
election, and its acceptance at the ap-
fpfoaching city. election seems therefore to
be a practical impossibility.
FAVOR IT, "ovER THE LEFT"
One on the inside at Trenton said yes
terday said that he has no idea that there
is any serious intention of passing the bill.
Members who pose for it in the public eye,
oppose it in secret If it should be re-
ported to the House it will be amended,
and will have to go back to the Senate for
concurrence. There is talk of sine die
adjournment of the Legislature on Friday
of next week. If that programme be car
ried out the bill will be defeated for want
of time to pass it,

waldron's Escape from Snake Hin.

James Waldron, who escaped from the
Snake Hill Penitentiary recently, was
sentenced today. When, few days ago
he was arraigned before Judge Lippin-
colt, he declared that Keeper ,Bannon, of
the Penitentiary, when drunk, told him
to escape.
The Court did not investigate this story
further than to ask several persons who
saw Bannon that day. about his condition,
and all declared him to be sober.
Waldron said he walked from Snake Hill
to his mothers home on Monmouth street
in his prison garb, and was not molested
by any policeman. He will serve one year
in State Prison.

Firitche,s Sad Death.

Mr.. Firitche, the bass singer of st.

caused such blow to his fellow mu-

right arm became paralyzed, max
ing him unfit for manual la
Dor. Possessing a good voice, he de-
termined to cultivate it and sing in con-
certs, which he did with considerable
success. Firitche was thorough
musician. During the last year he has
composed some very good music.
