Thursdav,s Proceedings.

Dr George l.. Porter of Bridgeport made an examination of Peck's body, June 0, after the medical examiner had done his work. Peck died of internal hemorrhage, caused by shot penetrating the pericardium. Dr Porter made dia- gram showing the location of the wounds. This was offered in evidence. He found shot holes in the wall, directly back of the door in which Peck stood.
 Jennie A. Lockwood of Newtown, now boarding at Sheriff Glover's, was living in Peck's house, June 8. At . l5 m, she was aroused by Mir Peck. Here the defense objected to a question and, after discussion, the jury retired to their room while the testimony was given to the mony, upon which the State placed con 2 siderable reliance, was not admis- sible and State Attorney Fessenden took an exception. The testimony which caused this delay related to what Peck is alleged to have said to Mrs Lockwood, after he had been shot. On the judges return, the jury was recalled and the witness went on. After Peck had awakened her, she arose and saw him sitting in the door. She then called Al bert Platt, with whom Peck's wife was staying. Mrs Peck accompanied her to the house, where they found Peck, sit ting In the doorway, dead. She was ac- quainted with Rudolph Stoeflel and re- called the quarrel on the day preceding the murder. Rudolph's cattle had been trcspassing on Peck's land and he had shut them up. Demanding release, Ru- dolph was told by Peck that he could not .y have them and became very angry, ex- claiming, sI'll have your head to pay for thisl" He finally got his cattle, however Peck had also been accused by Rudolph of killing the latters dog and he had then made threats. Cross-examined, sht said that the first person she met al Platt's was Mrs Peck, who was in front of the house. Mrs Lockwood, who had blown huge dinner horn during her TUT to piatt's, entreated her to come at once for A. J. Gas Peek was commonly called was shot. She at once returned, ac eompanied by Mrs Peck and a chile about seven years old. No one wa 1t the house when they arrived She had lived in Peck's house about tw' years; for several months before thu murder, no one but she and Peck, {, whom she was not married had occupied the house. She was keeping house fo Peck, but acknowledgen that their rela tions were those of man and wife. Sh remained at the house until Sunday when Deputy Sheriff Glover took her ts his home. Peck owned a gun and anu nItion. Mrs Peck found a number Q bonds concealed in several bags unde the lounge. He also had money belt but she uot know whether he carrie money or Rudolph had, at variou times, worked A3r Peck. The gun whlel Peek owned was Revolutionary mus ixet with q bayonct.

According to the indictment by which he is being tried, ''Rudolph Stoeffel of Bedding killed Andrew J. Peck of Red ding, in said town of Bedding, on the morning of June s, 1SSs." The murder occurred in Newtown, where Peck resid- ed. The papers furnished by Prosecu- ting Attorney Beecher, from which the indictment was obtained, stated the proper towns distinctly,so that no blame can be attached to him. After consul tation with the lawyers, Judge Torrance stated that, in his opinion, the case ought to be tried at once and that the flaw ill the indictment was of no great consequence. The trial proceeded and the indictment was not changed; but, should Rudolph be convicted, his law yers would have an excellent ground for appeal.

At ? o'clock, Sunday morning, Mir George F. Duneombe's family at Broad view were aroused by the noise of some thing falling. Smoke was also noticed and, going to the room below, MT Dun combe found everything melting before heat so intense that the wire picture cords had parted, causing the noise that gave the alarm. With his usual sang froid, for he could no more act like any one else than he could fly, Mir Duncombe, with blistered hands, went back up stairs, dressed, got his suits of clothes and the family down stairs and, after harnessing himself with his false teeth, was ready to tackle the fire. The soot iu the chimney had caught fire, heating the sheet iron fire-board so hot that it had kindled the adjoining woodwork. The wood box was the central flame, over which Mrs Duncombe, who burned her feet, threw horse blanket and the new carpet just made for the parlor, while Mir Duncombe, aided by MT Henry Fairchild of Chicago, who was there, subdued the glowing embers from the we'll. It was close call, even though Broadview is insured for $2200, but they now talk of pulling out the old chimney and remodeling that hospitable home. It wouldn't be possible to make it more charming spot to visit than it ever has been.

He Fought i" Game Chickens.

The Democratic papers say that Gen.
eral Grubb ''raises game chickens" We
do not know whether he does or not. But
we know that he fought game chickens in
the war. He was one himself, being a
mere boy when he went to the front. -
.Your boys look like Chickens" said
General Torbctt to Grubb, referring to
the youth of the Thirty-sevcnth. "Ycs, ("
replied their well-beloved leader, "but
they are game chickens" The boys OF
the gallant Thirty seventh proved their
valor by lying in the eGopher Holes" in
front of Petersburg seventeen days and
seventeen nights, when they could see the
whites of the eyes OF the enemy on the
breastworks In front Of them. During
that time the Thirty fired $4,000
rounds Of cartridges at the entrenched
enemy and for twenty-four hours they
lay within gunshot OF the rebels without
a single cartridge. - Paterson Press.

An Unruly Darkey.

An Unruly Darkey.
On Wednesday morning quite sensa-
ton occurred at the house OF James Will
Hanson, a respected colored man of
Remington. He has son, James, Jr.,
who had been an inmate of the James,
burg Reform School some time prior TO
this occurrence.
On the morning in question from some
cause the boy became unruly and gave
his father a severe beating He then be-
gan to clean house with the other men,
bers of the family, when some OF the
neighbors interfercd and were in the act
of tying young Williamson as Mr.. Cox,
the man who keeps hotel in the center
OF the town for the accommodation OF
such fellows, appeared on the scene. The
Sheriff quietly took slim" in hand and
presented him with pair OF bracelets,
and Asher Brown, the accommodating
United States expressman, furnished the
Sheriff with his horse and wagon and the
obstreperous darkey was put on board
and conveyed to the hotel above referred
to. He is now in quarters where the
light will not hurt his eyes and where he
cannot display his ugly nature. He has
committed offcnses of this nature before.

CONCERNING DRESS TEXTURES.

In making the claim that stock Of Dress Goods is
the largest single collection to be found anywhere either at
home abroad the evidence does upon our own
testimony upon that of too impartial Patrons
but upon the voluntary testimony of dsntersted experts
who know the dress goods markets of the world.
We have perhaps pardonabe pride in the fact that Phil
adepha should lead all other cities, both Of the Old and
New World in this important branch of the business 1t
strange but undenabe fact that single house in Paris
show collection quang ours of goods made in their
city and provinces.
The grand collection recently opened and now rapidly
being distributed is still intact in assortment and should be
inspected by every lady within days ride of Philadelphia
for it art exhibit not surpassed in its line by the Worlds
Exposition.

1t is distinctly charged by Mr.. Isaac
Broome, Secretary OF the Democratic So
ciety of South Amboy, and one Of the
speakers who addressed the Legislature
last Winter In favor of the Ballot Reform
bill, In a published letter, that the defeat
OF that measure was decreed by the Demo-
cratic politicians and the method OF
its 'taking off" agreed upon at confer
ence held by Leon Albeit, Senator Adrain
and Senator Werts lii the Governors
Room. "These three noble minded dar-
lings," Mr.. Broome says, ''devised q
scheme to get up fraudulent bill late In
the session, called the Werts bill, that they
knew would not pass, or II 1t did the pro-
visions OF the bill would not prevent the
political machine OF these self-constituted
leaders OF the people and their adhcrcnts
from carrying on for while longer for
their own benefit the shocking horrors OF
our present ballot" Mr.. Broome calls
upon all respectable Democrats who favor
ballot reform and honest administration
to unite In defeating Albeit at the coming
election.

Information Whnteus
The New Jersey Historical Society is
anxious TO ascertain what has become Of
the papers Of the late DIR. Charles Nc
Chesney, OF Sussex county, who was Sec
rotary Of State from 1910 10 1850. A few
years ago two or three barrels full were
found at or near Pennington, VIC under
stand, and they are in good hands TO be
utilized for the public information. 1t Is
believed that there are still more of these
papers ia existence, including many pa
pers and documents OF much historical
interest and Importance, and the Society
desires to learn what they are. II is par
ticularly desired 10 know what has be-
come of the Journal of the Governor and
Council before the Revolution In 1866
DIR. McChesney had at least portion Of
this Journal, and undoubtedly the origi-
nal manuscript, either 10 the form OF large
volumes bound In leather, or in loose
sheets. The Society is now printing an
earlier volume OF this Journal, from 1882
to 1902, and has copies, obtained from
England, Of most OF the Journal from
1909 to 1776, but part Of 1t is missing,
and this it is hoped to find among DIR.
McChesney's papers. Any information
that any Of our readers can furnish may
be addressed to Mr.. VIM. Nelson, Record

An interesting case was tried In Tren-
ton few days ago under the State Milk
law, which was stoutly resisted In South
Jersey over year ago. The law requires
IL per cent. of solids 10 tho milk, and q
sample taken by Health Inspector Nc
CURE from one OF the cans OF f. b.
Croasdale, Of Ewing, proved, upon ana
lysis by Shipper Wallace, the chemist, to
contain only ii. 90 OF solids. The facts
were brought out in the Justices Court,
but the defense contented itself with prov
ing that the milk was fresh from the COW
and not aduteraied with water or other
substance. II Is said that the reason the
milk failed to come up to the legal stand
ard was that the cows were fed on new
clover. The jury acquitted Croasdalc.
