Is He Wrongly Convicted.

CONCORD, N. H., April 2.-The suspension in sentence in the case of Wells, convicted of the murder of Eastman, of Great Falls, occasioned some wonderment up to the time of arrest in Maine of a man named Fields upon a charge of having committed the crime for which Wells now awaits sen tence. It is reported that immediately af- ter the conviction of Wells a prominent citizen received an anonymous letter from Portsmouth declaring that the writer had committed the murder under the influence of jealousy because of woman, and that Wells was innocent. The letter was given to a Pinkerton detective, who secured iden- tifcation of the writing as that of Fields, and the latter was found and arrested in Maine. Fields will be examined at Dove, tO-day.

vagaries of Speech.

A writer in The Paris Figaro, who has been making fun of what he calls the drolleries of the French language, might have extended his purview to language in general. There are nlogicalities in every tongue. We in England, for in stance, do not really, though we con- stantly say we do, light fire, boil pot, blow out candle, extinguish lamp, serve table or drink a glass. In old novels one often comes across exhorta- tions from the witty and wise heroes and heroines to their giddy companions pro- testing against such incorrect expressions as drinking a glass. These give an open ing for crusty, old fashioned smartness. London Globe.

BAD FOR HlLLMAN.
A Strong Web of Evidence Being Slowly
 Hut Surely Wsaved Around Hlm.l

WooDBURY, N. J., April 2.-There is now no doubt that the pack of goods with which Joseph Hillman went into the peddling bus mess belonged to Herman Seideman, whose mangled body was found in Nash's pond at Turnerville. Goods that Hillman sold at 8 sacrifice have been recognized by the manu- lecturers as those sold to the murdered man. Hillman declares he found the pack in 8 clump of bushes near Turnerville.
 The authorities continue to weave about Hillman a web of circumstantial evidence that jeopardizes the latter's neck and they believe they now have sufficient evidence to convict him. They refuse to give away some important evidence until the clues are worked out. Yesterday Nash's pond was drawn of, but nothing of importance was found in it. The drawing off of the water lowered the water in Pross's pond and ex- posed to view shoe recognized as one worn by the murdered peddler. This after noon the water will be all drawn off Pross's s pond and the bottom will be searched for further evidence which it is believed to contain. Detective Garrison will also make Q thorough investigation of the house where the murder is supposed to have oc- cured yesterday afternoon, and will be ac- companied by other officials in the search.
 Yesterday morning Justice Livermore went to the Shsriff's office and there read
 
 suspected man. Other evidence was gleaned about noon. Hillman says he had no ac- commodations for people and never took any one in at his house. John Storms and wife declare they slept one night, and Annie c. Pew and Larrie Bunholser declare that Seideman told them he put up there. Hill man says he began peddling in September. Kate Gaskill says it was in the latter part of November, after the fall election.
 The finding of bloody piece of muslin and bloody handkerchief in a crevice back of tho stairway in Hillman's house is looked upon as an important piece of proof against him, as it is believed that other things will be found. B. F. Sickler, the storekeeper, says Hillman got ten-dollal gold piece changed last fall. Hillman de clared it was only a five-dollar piece.

NEW JERSEY LEGISLATURE.
Che Direct Tax Bin Considered in the
 House Last Night.


 House Last Night.
 TRENTON, April 2.>-The House sat as . Committee of the Whole last night to con- sider the bill introduced by Mir. Voorhees, of Union for tho imposition of State tax of three fourths of a mill. MT. Voorhees said that direct tax was necessary While 1t was a very light tax, it would be ample. Col. Heppenheimer, of Hudson, wanted to know why MT. Voorhees, didn't introduce bill to amend the act requiring railroads to pay tax on their property on the same basis as individuals. For many years the expenses of the State have been de- frayed out of moneys received from big corporations in the shape of taxes. Speak CT Hudspeth admitted the States necessity for funds, but declared he should never support measure for a direct tax. New Jersey had been free from such tax so long that one should not be imposed now unless all other ways and means should fail. Ho thought bill of another kind could be drafted under which the money needed might be raised. The Committee of the Whole arose and reported progress.
 Senator Adrain introduced a bill to allow bottlers to sell beer and ale by the box and wine growers to sell wine in quantities of from one gallon to five gallons without a license.
 President Werts, through Senator Bogert, introduced a bill providing that if any sec ton of the Werts Liquor bill shall be de- clared unconstitutional the other sections of the bill shall not be affected.
 The following bills were favorably re- ported in the House: Providing that the Sinking Fund Commissions of Newark and Jersey City shall consist of the Mayor and Comptroller and three persons to be ap- pointed by the Mayor: making two years assertion ground for divorce; providing for a Constitutional Convention to be held in Trenton on May 21: restoring to the Cover nor the power of appointing the State Sink ing Fund Commissioners, and providing for the appointment by the Governor of a sur geon of the Soldiers Home who shall be chief executive officer of the institution. Weldenmayer introduced bill in the House giving the Mayor of Newark power to appoint the Comptroller independent ly of the Common Council. Gill introduced a bill to create the county of Carteret, which is to consist of Belleville, Frap kiln, Bloomfield, Montclair, Caldwell, Livingston, West Orange, Milburn, East Orange, city of Orange and South Orange, all of which places are within the present territory of Essex county. Weidenmeyer introduced a bill before adjournment providing for the immediate termination of the terms of office of all members of the Newark Board ot Health, the Mayor to have power to appoint their successors. This would make the Board Democratic. The House killed the bill authorizing the appointment of six more factory inspectors.
