A New Railroad scheme.

Another new railroad to be constructed
in Newark was incorporated yesterday at
Trenton. Articles were filed with the
Secretary Of State for a corporation to be
known as the Newark and Passaic Rail
way Company. The incorporators are
John Hood, of Camden; David G. Baird,
of Beverly; Sidney Ward, of Brooklyn;
Charles L.. Corbin, of Metuchen: Frank
r. Baldwin, of Jersey City; Abram L..
Voorhis, of Newark; Frank W. Coward,
of Perth Amboy.
The new road will extend from the east
side of Avenue E, between Emmett and
Wright streets. in Newark, to a point on
the right bank of the Passaic river, one
half mile %northerly from the outlet of
the main line Of the Morris canal. a dis
lance of three and one-tenth miles. The
capital stock is $4,000, divided into 400
shares of 500 each; of these David G..
Baird, of Beverly, has 1882 shares, and
each of the other incorporators three
shares.
The incorporators are recognized as
men identified with the interests of the
Lehigh Valley Railroad, and the new
road is to be connected with the extern
sion of that road from Roselle to Newark,
thence. to C~ommunipaw. The line to
Newark from Roselle was Incorporated
last summer, and from Avenue + to
Communipaw last winter. The line for
the new corporation seems to be entirely
independent of the latter, for it extends
too far to the north.

GARRY BOICE PARD0NED.
A BANKER WHO CLEANED OUT
TWO CITY BANKS.
Major Way, of New Brunswick, is also
Released from State Prison-other
News of the State.

Major Way, of New Brunswick, is also
Released from State Prison--Other
News of the State.
Garrett D. Boice was released from
State prison by the Court of Pardons at
Trenton yesterday. He was the super
intendent of a Sunday school in Bayonne,
and president also of the City Bank and
of the Fifth Ward Savings, Bank on
Pavonia avenue and Erie streets, in this
city. His s~on-in-law, Shaw, was an Oh
ficer of the bank, and between them they
cleaned out the bank vaults and made
way with about $50, 900. When they were
asked why they did not take the Sl,2O0
that was found in one of the W
after their arrest, they frankly SAID tnaO
they did not know it was there. Bolce
was sentenced to ten years imprisonment
n Shaw to three in 1888.
He is now fifty-five years old and has
had charge of the drugs in the hospital at
the prison. Several strong petitions were
laid before the Board of Pardons, calling
attention to BOice's age and to the needs
Of his family. One was signed by i've
bank presidents in Jersey City and Pater-
son, and by other bank officials. Another
was signed by Garrett A. Hobart, Judge
John Hopper, of Paterson: e~x-SenatorS
Williams and Griggs, of the same place,
and many other prominent persons.
State Prison Keeper Patterson and some
of the deputy keepers signed a paper call
ing attention to his good conduct IN
prison and valuable services in the med
ical department.
Mr.. Boice has become an expert drug
clerk, and a position in New York awaits
him.
A second prominent person p%ardoned
was Major A. M. Way, of New Bruins,
wick. Major Way embezzled several
loan associations in New Brunswick, of
which he was president and general man
ager. He was a very prominent man in
the business circles of the city for years
and was highly respected. His downfall
was a great surprise. He was sentenced
by the Middlesex County Court in Janu-
airy, 1888, to serve a term of four years in
the State Prison. Major Way has a good
war record and since his incarceration
the Grand Army men have been making
every effort to effect his pardon. Junior
Vice Commander Lovett has had the mat
ter in hand. The grounds on which the
pardon was asked were:-Grave doubts
as to any criminal intent, gallant service
during the war, advanced age and failing
health. One petition contained the
names of numerous Grand Army men.
Another was signed by the officers of the
Grand Masonic Lodge and still another
by the Prosecutor OF the Pleas, Judge
Manning Freeman and others. The par
don was refused last year.
A third pardon was granted to James
LOTUS, of Hudson county, who was sem
fenced for ten years in 1885 for breaking
and entering.

OLD JULES BONES.
Remains of the Man MutiIated and
Murdered by SIade.
They are Found Near Lusk by Men
Digging a Ditch.
Something About the Notorious and
Cruel Desperate.

Everybody, says the Lusk Herald,
has heard OF Old jules the French
man for whom the town OF Julesburg was
named. He got into a difficulty with the
notorious Slade, and the latter got the
drop on him when he was sick in bed,
took him out and tied him to a post at
the old Rock RANCH a station On the old
overland stage line. eighteen miles below
Fort Laramie, on the Platte river. The
inhuman Slade hen cut off Jules ears
and shot him full OF holes.
"Ho did not kill his man with the first
few shots, but put holes through his ex
tremities first, and kept the poor French
man in agony for an hour or two before
he finally dispatched him.
"Slade carried his victims ears in his
pockets until they became dry, and often
displayed them in saloons, and it is said
he once pawned them for the drinks in
Cheyenne. Slade was a hard customer,
and killed many men, but was finally
taken out by a Montana vigilance commit
tee and hung. His sand all left him on
this occasion, and he cried and begged
like a child.
This spring while workmen were tax
ing out a large irrigatiug ditch for the Pr
ranch, they unearthed a human skeleton
near the old Rock ranch, which they sup
pose to be the bones of old Jules, as he is
the only man known 10 have been buried
there. There can be little doubt of their
identity"
In truth Slade was dead tough" He
was bad" TO a superlative degree, cold
blooded, p%itiless, dishonest and Il gambler
and ~drunkard. He had not the least re-
spect for anyone, no consideration for the
rights OF others and until a few minutes
before his death never evidenced fear.
He was the worst desperate on the from
tier.
Many Cheyenne men knew Slade well
and a number, including Judge Lee and
Capt. N. J. O'Brien. were on the Platte
contemporaneously with Slade and the
unfortunate julie.
As the story goes Slade insulted the
Frenchman and the latter laid for him"
with a shot gun and improved an oppor-
tunity to add about a pound of buckshot
to SHADES ~advordupois. When the latter
recovered he at once called on the French
man, and after shooting him full of holes
and cutting off his ears killed the foreign
er. No attempt was made to punish Slade
for this murder.
VIM. High. the deceased ex-sheriff of
Carbon county, was present at the Slade
lynching at Virginia City. Montana. He
told an interesting story of the affair.
Slade and his gang were in the habit of
raiding the town in the regulation Colo
RADIO cowboy style and kept killing people
and damaging property until the citizens
declared themselves. They captured the
Desperate on his next visit and proceeded
to business. Slade was defiant until he
became convinced that the men we're in
earnest. Then he weakened and was
strung up with prayers for mercy on his
lips.
