The presidents tather-in-law, Rev.
Scott, has for long time been a clerk
in the postoilice department, at Wash
ington. The old gentleman had way
of dropping asleep at his desk, and it
was frequently necessary for Mr.. Git,
as chief of the department, to awaken
the sleeper, and this he did by gently
shaking Rev. Scott, and at the same
time yelling in his ear, change carsl'
This tormented the presidents father
in-law, and he, or some one for him,
put the decapitating machinery in or

Mr.. Harrison was determined that his
sleepy father-in-law should not be dis
turbed in his little nap.

Bishop. the mind reader, or, rather,
the muscle reader, died last week in
New York after he had performed one
of his marvellous feats. That man
could tell the number of bank bill
locked up in vault; he could locate a
hidden needle half mile away; he
could almost read the thoughts of any
member of his audience. The strain on
his mind during a performance was
very great and a spell of catalepsy
usually followed. His mother refused
TO believe that he was dead when the
surgeons made their autopsy and she in
duced the coroner to postpone the funer-
al and have another examination made.

Newark Republicans Mad.

There is great excitement in Newark
over the appointment of little Mr..
Large to the Revenue Collectorship.
George Halsey, William Stainsby and
Congressman Lehlback, who were
urging the claims of Mr.. William r
Williams, are wild, to put it plainly.
Stainsby threatens to resign from the
Republican State Committee and help
elect Albeit; SO does Carl LEM.
Judge Fort says that the appoint
ment is a very disastrous m for the
party. Congressman Lehlback feels
that the refusal to appoint Williams
after his request is a personal affront.
1t is said that the administration
hesitated to affront Lehlbach when
the Congress was likely to be close to
a tie; but since the elections in the
new territorial States the administra-
ton feels that it can get along with
ont him.

"Ruby " in Trouble Again.

Mary Estelle, the abandoned young
woman who is known among her asso-
ciates as "Ruby," was before Judge Still
sing again this morning. Last evening
she was arrested upon complaint OF
George Fisher, who has just returned
from a short s~ojourn at Trenton and who
charged her with atrocious assault and
battery. Fisher met the woman on Mont
gomery street as she was coming along
with a bundle of undelclothing which
she had just obtained at a Chinese
laundry.
In a spirit of sport Fisher snatched the
package from the girl and refused to re-
turn it to her. Her angry imprecations
drew a crowd and in a few minutes
Fisher felt q singing sensation in the leg
and found that he had been stabbed. He
accused the girl of cutting him and she
was locked up. Fisher appeared in court
this morning, but refused to complain
against the girl, saying that he, was as
much to blame as she, and she was dis
charged.

He Broke His Parole.

Judge Reed, at Bridgeton, yester-
day sentenced Charles Filler to two
years in State Prison for forgery, COM
mitted here in May, 1882. Soon after
committing the crime Filler was sent
to prison from Salem county, and
upon the expiration OF his term was
brought back to Bridgeton and sem
tence was suspended on condition of
good behavior, he having refunded
most of the money secured by the
forgery. &
Afterwards he was sent to prison
from Gloucester county, and soon
after his release last spring was
arrested in Bridgeton on the charge
of stealing a horse and wagon. The
Grand Jury at this term of court
failed to indict him for lack of sufi-
Gent evidence, but Judge Reed de-
cided that he had not fulfilled the
condition of good behavior and ac-
cordingly he goes to Trenton for a
third term.

No Pistols for Policemen.

Burlington's Democratic Mayor and
the Democratic Council r just now
engaged in their annual controversy
over the proper equipment for the
city police. A year or SO ago Mayor
Silpath vas given full charge of the
police, including appointments to the
force. 1t had previously been under
the control of Council. The Mayor
petitioned Council for police sup
plies, embracing uniforms, o%vercoats
and other paraphernalia, including
revolvers, necessary for the proper
equipment of the men.
The question of supplying the
patrolmen with firearms is an old one
with Council, and is the cause of
much discussion. George HI. Allen,
chairman of Councils Police Commit
tee, called a special meeting of that
body to consider the Mayors request.
He claims the police force, which
comprises six or seven men, as at pres
ent managed, is too expensive. DIR.
Gauntt was in favor of granting the
supplies, excepting revolvers. He is
not in favor of putting firearms in the
hands of the police for their indis-
criminate use. If they need assist
ance in making an arrest they should
call citizens to their aid. The police
men are at a loss to know how this
can be done late at night, when the
streets are practically deserted.
The motion to equip the police with
revolvers was voted down. Mayor
Silpath insists that the men shall be
so provided if he has to purchase
them himself.

STATE OFFICERS MOVE IN.
TAKING POSSESSION OF THE NEW
CAPITOL BUILDING AT TRENTON.

Policemen who Can't Garry Pistols-Le
Coney,s Trial Goes OFF for the Term
A Big Rumpus in the Republican
Camp-Geueral News of the State.
The various State departments are
slowly getting settled in the new quar-
tiers assigned to them since the new
part of the Capitol at Trenton was
completed. For two weeks the clerks
in the Chancery Office have been as
sisted by five men in getting h great
collection of fled papers and books
transferred from the old Chancery
Courtroom, which has been used by
the clerk of the court since the hre'
to the new rooms assigned to the de-
partment in the northwest corner OF
the new front. Yesterday the papers
were nearly transferred, and TO-DAY OF
Monday the desks of the clerks Will be
moved and all business will be trans
ferred to these rooms. The new rooms
are well adapted to the work OF the
department.
There are two large rooms facing on
State street which will be occupied by
several of the clerks, and on the OPP
posite side of the corridor are rooms
which it is probable that Colonel
Meredith Dickinson and the steno
graphers will occupy. The large
vault where the papers are nleo Is
also in this side and is well lighted.
The old Chancery Court is
very much dilapidated by the hard
usage which it has received as a clerks
office, and it will be entirely renovated
before becoming a court room again.
1t will be repainted and beautifully
frescoed, SO that when finished 1t VIII
be the handsomest room in the build
ing. Not before November will it be
ready for occupancy. The Supreme
Court room has been used by the
Chancery Court aver since the lire.
The library has also been used for
court purposes.
Adiutant General Stryker has also
moved from the Dickinson Building
into the new Capitol. He occupies the
two room in the rear of the Secretary
of States apartments on the first floor.
The General felt very much ag-
grieved at the Commission for assign
ing him only two rooms. He also de-
sired the room which opens upon the
main corridor and which has been re-
served for the JanlGor. Inc Ueneral
thought for a time that he would oc-
cupy the rooms vacated by the State
Treasurer in the old building. He
finally concluded to take the two
rooms assigned him. They are pleas
ant rooms, opening upon Delaware
street. The clerks of the Quartermas-
ter Generals office will also occupy
these rooms while General Stryker is
acting Quartermaster General.
The only two departments which
still remain in the Dickinson Building
are the State Board of Assessors and
the Labor Bureau. The former will
occupy the rooms now occupied by
the Comptroller, while he will remove
to the rooms just in the "a of the
State Treasurer's. 1t is not known
where the Labor Bureau will be
placed.

Camden's Murder Mystery.

Chalkley LIE Coney, who was in
dicted by the Camden County Grand
Jury on Wednesday of the murder of
his niece, Annie E. LIE Coney, neal
Colestown, on September 9, will not
be tried at the present session of the
Camden County Courts, as Prosecutor
Jenkins desired. Yesterday counsel
for the defendant appeared before
Judge Garrison and asked to have the
case put off from October 81, the date
fixed for the trial by the Judge, until
the week following the election in
November. Prosecutor Jenkins said
he was ready for the case to go to trial
on the date fixed by the Judge.
Judge Garrison said in view of his
engagements it would be impossible
for him to try the case at any other
time in this month than the 21st. At
this time he could give seven days
co%nsecutively. Counsellor Gaskill in
formed the Court that previous en-
gagements would prevent him from
being present in the interest of the
accused.
Judge Pancoast, associate counsel
fin the case for the defendant, said the
defence did not want to be placed in
the position of asking for a delay.
They were anxious to have the cas-
disposed of and did not wish to be
driven to ask for any postponement.
Judge Garrison gave them the choice
of going to trial on October 81, Oh
suffer a postponement.
THE counsellors, after an interview
with LIE Coney, informed the Court
that they had decided to let the case
lay over until the January term.
Music I'm the Trenton Post ONCE.
There is a rumpus in the Republi-
can camp over the appointments made
by Postmaster Alex. G. Yard at
Trenton since he has assumed control
of the office. The Republican ward
workers all over the city were so hun
CRY for the official pap that the new
postmaster had to deal out that they
crowded about and stepped on each
others toes anxiously waiting with
open mouths for their share. About
this time Johnny He'll, the big boss of
the Seventh ward, appeared on the
scene and made his demands for his
ward, and such a pull does he seem to
have had that seven appointments
have been made from the one ward.

WILL REDUCE WAGES.
Carnegie Preparing TO Econ omize in
His HOmestcad Mills.

Carnegie Preparing to Econ omizc in
His Homestead Mills.
A notice will be posted at Carnegie's
Homestead steel plant tomorrow an
nouncing that new sliding scale,
based on the selling price of steel
blooms, wall go into effect on July 1, at
the expiration Of the Amalgamated
scale, says II Pittsburg, Pa, dispatch.
1t is stated in the announcement that
the scale must be signed for three
years, and after that either party can
withdraw from it upon giving six
months notice. The new scale made
up is on the basis of $27. so per ton for
steel blooms, with the minimum at S25.
1t will be q reduction averaging 20 per
cent and will fall most heavily on the
higher priced men, who will be cut, in
some instances, from so to go per
cent. The new scale is similar to the
one in operation at the Edgar Thomp-
son plant of the same firm, with the eX-
ception that the scale will be based on
blooms instead of rails. The new scale
will be in the nature of surprise to
the workmen, as they have notified the
firm that an advance averaging 6Sl rer
cent will be demanded on July I. 1t
will probably result in a strike of the
$500 employees and the company is
making preparations to meet any trouble
that may occur. They claim that the
wages offered in the new scale will be
from 10 to 20 per cent higher than is
paid by their eastern competitors, and
if their old workmen do not want to
sign the agreement other men will be
secured. If the Carnegies are success
ful in introducing the scale, it will
probably be adopted in all the other
steel mills.

An Editors Experience.

Major Sidney Herbert, a well known jour
nalist in agricultural circles, writes April Is,
1889: Some five years ago l wrote n letter
stating that Swift's Specific had cured me of
severe rheumatism. Since that time have
had no return of the rheumatic troubles, al
though frequently exposed to the influence
that produced former attacks. Several of
my friends had similar experience, and are
firm in their conviction that S. S. S. brought
q permanent cure. The searching power Of
this medicine is shown in the fact that it de-
veloped scrofulous faint that was in my
blood over thirty ears ago, and has removed
the last trace of it. / have also tested S. S.
S. as q tonic after severe attack of malarial
fever, which kept me in bed for three months.
and am convinced that its curative and
Strengthening properties insured my recovery
from that illness, as l was in very low con-
dition of health.
