A sALOoNKEEPER SENTENCED.

Three Months Imprisonment and Fine
of $3.50 for Selling Drinks on Sunday.
William Shaker, indicted for keeping a
disorderly house, was arraigned for trial
today. Counsellor DAILY asked to have
the case put off, saying that ex-
Governor Albeit, who was couu-
sci for Smoker, was engaged in
case before the Court of Errors, and
would probably want to make some
points covered by the Werts bill The
request was denied.
In his opening Prosecutor Winfield said
that the defendant kept place in North
Bergen, where disturbances were raised
Sundays by visitors from New York. 'rIf
this defendant is guilty." he
gentlemen of the jury, to so find
face of the earth should dare intimidate
you or any other jury"
Constable Francois testified that the
barkeeper had threatened to set dog on
him and that on Sunday, May 26, he and
two others went to the place to kill the
dog. The Constable swore that he had
drunk several glasses of beer there, that
his brother drank whiskey and that
Henry Koenig drank beer.
Justice of the Peace Daniel testified
that he had drunk beer and applejack
there.
Counsellor DAILY declined to make any
defence, and after pointing out what he
claimed were defects in two of the counts
in the Indictment, submitted the case.
The jury convicted Smoker and Judge
Lippincott sentenced him to three months
imprisonment at Snake Hill and to pay q
fine of $3.50 and costs.

Phelps GOOD FORTUNE.
President Harrison Has
Made Him Minister to
Germany.
DID SAMOA SETTLE II ?
He Will Have a Chance for More
Tits with Bismarck.

WASHINGTON, June 26, 1889. The
President today appointed ex-Con-
gresham William Walter Phelps, of
New Jersey, Minister to Germany.
Mr.. Phelps returned from Berlin,
where he had been engaged in the
Samoan negotiations, day before yes
terday. He brought the new
treaty with him for consideration
by the Federal government. Mr..
Phelps is said to have made conquest of
the stern Chancellor of Germany during
his stay abroad. and to have taken lead
ing part in bringing the negotiations to a
favorable issue. His appointment as
Minister does not come as a surprise.
Since the success of the Samoan mission
it has been regarded as certain that he
would be sent back as permanent repre-
sentative of this government at the Ger
man Court.
Mr.. Phelps is resident of Teaneck.
near Englewood, and has closely identi-
fled himself with Bergen county's local
interests.
He is graduate of Yale College, and
even yet the odor of the Sophomore hangs
around his oratory, though he is very
bright and facetious when on his feet.
His first race for Congress in the Bergen
district, some years ago, was a nip and
tuck contest between himself and Mr..
Cutler, but Mr.. Cutler gracefully
yielded the seat to him after pleasant
correspondence between them. He has
since served two other terms in Con-
gress.
He has been an aspirant for the United
States Senatorship for five or six years
past. Last fall he made an aggressive
campaign to secure it, but Democratic
Legislature put it beyond his reach. He
is probably fifty-three or so years of age,
