hSP~ctttt
ELIZABETH, N. j., March %, 1890. The
house at Westfield of Richard Seybold, q
very wealthy man, was entered Thursday
night by gang of men who called them
selves White Caps. The object
of their visit was to drive
from the town Michael Brady,
an intimate friend of Mr.. Seybold and a
guest at his house, as well as an employe
of his. Seybold. who is connected with the
Department OF Public Works in New
York, is also railroad man, and Brady is
his assistant. Seybold lives in a magnfi-
cent house at West6eld, which is near
Elizabeth
Some time ago Mr.. Brady became a
guest of Mr.. Seybold, and the people Of
Westfield Of late have commented severe
ly on the apparent friendship existing be-
tween him and the wife of his employer.
The result of these comments led to a
visit of fifteen men to the house Of Mr..
Seybold Thursday night, during
his absence, and forcing an en-
trance passed into the honse and
demanded of Mrs. Seybold admission
to Brady's apartment on another floor.
While she was screaming with terror the
ruffians endeavored to ascend the stairs
but were stopped as clear firm voice
cried Halt. /"
Looking up the White Caps found
themselves staring into the muZzle of a
Winchester rifle held by beautiful
young woman, en- deshabille.
1t was Mrs. Seybold's nineteen-year-
old daughter.
The men paused eff one of you adj
vanees another step, I'll shoot him dead, =
the brave young girl said.
The leader tried to parley with her, but
she told them to leave the house at once.
well, be -- if we will be baked
by girl" the leader cried, and sprang
forward, knocking the rife up.
The girl swung the rifle around her
head and brought it down with crushing
force on the arm of the man nearest her.
He dropped and was afterwards car
ried away by his friends. He is in bed
today.
The White Caps found Brady in his
room. He was awake. With pistol al
his head they made him dress and pack a
few things in his grip.
After this they sent him on a run to the
depot.
Mr. Seybold was then informed of what
had transpired. His indignation knew
no bounds. He followed Brady to the
depot, and in the presence of his neigh
bors expressed the greatest confidence in
him, and insisted on his returning home
with him.
Brady would not go back. 81 will be
the cause OF no trouble to you," he said
and took the first train that came along.
All the persons engaged in the outrage
will probably be arrested.

ENTHUSIASTIC RHFUBS.
A Booming Meeting Of
Their City Committee.
CAMPAIGN MANAGERS APPOINTED.
Even After Adjournment They Staid
and Talked Of Success.

1t is long time since the Jersey City
Republican Committee had such an at
tendance as that of last night. The Fed
eral Club House. on Willow Court. was
occupied by the committee, nearly all the
members of which were present, and nu-
merous Republican leaders were there TO
counsel and consult
Emil E. Datz presided over the commit
tees deliberations. and Thomas Nc
Evan, Sr.. the secretary. was in his
accustomed place. The nomination of
George f. Perkins, as the Republican
candidate for Mayor, was enthusiastically
and unanimously ratified.
1t was decided to place the active man
agement OF the campaign in the hands Of
the. Executive Committee of one from
each district, consisting of General John
Ramsay, John w. Kull. Thomas Leather,
Siegfried Hammerschlag, Thomas ID.
Mills and Michael Schultz, Sr.
Benjamin Drachman, chairman of a
committee appointed at a previous meet
ing, reported that a full list OF proposed
Republican election officers had been pre-
sented to the Republican Aldermen.
A resolution offered by j. G. Young,
providing for the appointment of COM
mittee to investigate the participation of
Republican election officers in the cleo
ton frauds of last fall, was adopted, and
the committee was appointed as follows:
w. a. Brian, II. III. Abernethy, S. S.
Stilsing. Siegfried Hammerschlag, J. &.
Young and j. w. Fenner.
This resolution, presented by DR.. u.
Allen, was adopted
Resolved, That the Republican City COMMITTEES
and the Hudson County General Republican
Committee enter their solemn protest against
the reappointment of any election officer, either
Republican Democrat, in any precinct in
which gross Irregularities have appeared and
been proved, and request the Board Of Aldermen
to declare vacant the places of such election
officers in any such precinct.
Ex-Mayor Gilbert Collins, H II. Aber-
nethy and John H. Hopkin were ap-
pointed committee to prepare resolu-
tions expressive of the sense Of the City
Committee relative to the death of NH
M. 7. Newbold and to represent that body
at the funeral.
A Finance Committee of fifteen was APP
pointed, and then, as a mark of respect TO
the memory Of Counsellor Newbold, the
committee adjourned.
In the parlors and the corridor an inter-
change Of sentiment by the Republicans,
showed deeD interest and enthusiasm
for the candidacy of George r. Perkins,
such as has not been exhibited by the
Republicans Of Jersey City, for years.
The present city administration was
bitterly denounced, and a general talk
was indulged in, denunciatory of the
extravaganza and recklessness OF the
several commissions.
Many were the words Of praise spoken
| for THE JERSEY CITY News for its fear
| less exposure of the extravagapce and
corruption to which the citizens are being
subjected under the Cleveland admini5-
| tration of city affairs.

A DEED NOT A WILL.
Charges That a Young Camden Man
Swind1ed His Imprisoned Father.


Special to the Jerseg City Nelos.
TRENTON, March 20, 1s90.--Joseph
Genther, son of Frank Genther, who is
in the Camden prison on charge of as
saulting his wife, Annie Genther, at
Homesteadville, with stalk knife, was
arrested yesterday and held in $500 bail
by Justice Schmitze on charge of OBJ
tanning by fraud and deception his
fathers signature to a deed for the home
stead
From the testimony it appeared the
father found he would be sentenced to
prison for long term for the assault on
his wife, and, fearing that he would die
in prison, he decided to make mis- will, and
trusted his son with the preparation OF
the document. March 1, 1t is alleged,
the son visited his father in prison
and informed him that the document he
held was will, and made out as he die
tated. It was written in Englishs and the
old gentleman says he was unable to
ascertain the contents, as he can only read
German. Being of the impression that it
was all right, he attached his signature.
The old man now says he has dlscov-
cred that the paper which he signed was
u deed conveying his home to his son
Joseph. His attention was called to the
fact by his two daughters. He consulted
a law firm and upon their advice ne
caused the arrest of his son. The young
man will be given hearing on the charge
today.

RUTGERS FARM SCHOOL.
Interesting Facts About the Teach
ing Of Scientific Agriculture.
Special to the Jersey ctr Ne,os.

NEW BRUNSWICK, March %, 1S90.--The
recent debate in the Assembly at Trenton
on Senator Abrams bill to provide for
free scholarships in the State Agricul-
tural College has revived interest in an
institution, which perhaps is not as well
known in the State as it should be-
In 1862 Congress passed an act donating
public lands to the various States which
would provide colleges for the benefit of
agriculture and the mechanic arts. The
object of the act was to found and endow
colleges where the leading object should
be, without excluding other scientific
and classical studies. and including mil
itary tactics, to teach such branches of
learning as are related to agriculture and
the mechanic arts, in such manner as
the Legislature of the States might pre-
scribe, in order to promote the liberal
and practical education of the industrial
classes in the several professions and pur-
suits in life." An appropriation of land
of 30, 900 acres for each member of Con-
greSs was made to each State. New Jer-
sey obtained ZIG, 600 acres under this law,
upon which about S100 900 was realized.
By the act of April i3, 1864 the income
of the fund was directed to be paid to the
trustee of Rutgers College for the sala-
ries only of teachers in that branch of the
college known as Rutgers Scientific
School, which by the act was designated
the State Agricultural College.
The act also required Rutgers to build
additional buildings and to furnish a
suitable tract of land for an experimental
farm. Forty scholarships were made free
to students from the several counties of
the State. According to the report of the
college for 1883 436 students have attended
the institution and 176 of them have
graduated. There are IS students in the
school, 63 OF them having free scholar
ships.

THELIBRARY MANDAMUS
Mr.. Record and Mr.. Ed
wards Argue For and
Against 1t.

Justices Knapp and MCGEE Of the
Supreme Court, sat in the Chancery
Chambers this morning, and listened to
the argument upon the application Of the
Trustees of the Free City Library for a
mandamus to compel the Board of
Finance to pay to them the sum of
S25, ,533. Is, to which sum the Trustees
claim they are entitled by the law under
which they were appointed.
Mr.. George l.. Record, who appeared
for the trustees, presented to the court
the facts in the case. He showed that
15304 voters out of the 19205 who voted,
were in favor OF the library. He then read
the law creating the Board and claimed
that under its provisions the library
should be established if more people voted
for than voted against.
II there was one vote for it and none
against 1T, that would establish the
library, would it?v asked Judge Knapp.
THE JUSTICES SMILE.
Certainly, SIR" replied Mr.. Record.
Mr.. Record went on. He claimed that
inasmuch as the city had adopted the
library by such a large majority, and all
the library officers had done their duty, it
became mandatory upon the Board
of Finance to make the appropria-
lion. Ine delay In making the
application for the mandamus was due to
the fact that the trustees being a newly
constituted body were not acquainted
with the duties OF their offices and did not
move until they were advised when to dc
SO. He claimed that the trustees had not
been guilty of laches and the application
for mandamus was their proper remedy.
MR.. EDWARDS ARGUMENT.
Corporation Counsel Edwards, in reply
I'M cai1 hut hn nf nr,a
board of city government trying to com
pei another board to perform its duty.
When the Board of Finance made the
appropriations for the present
year last July. the trustees did
not send in any estimate as
the other Boards did He also claimed
that when the Board made the approprfa-
tion of $4,000 the Trustees practically
acquiesced therein by not objecting there
to. If the mandamis is issued the city
will have to bear the expense of d new
tax levy, Mr. Edwards said, which would
be greater hardship 70. the people than
the deprivation of the library.
The Court reserved its decision.

Some of the Members Want to Run
Again, Others Don't.
The city ticket this spring will be a
light one The new charter has left but
few places to be filled by popular cleo
tion. Besides the Mayor, only Aldermen
and consuables are to be chosen, and in q
few of the districts, as stated in the JER-
sEY CITY NEWS few days ago, some JUS
tices of the Peace vacancies.
The interest in the mayoralty canvass
has overshadowed interest in the district
election to such degree that little or
nothing is heard about the aldermanic
chances
Seven new aldermen are to be elected
The terms of Aldermen O'Neill in the
First, O'Rourke in the Second, Donpelly
III the Thi1d, Prigge in the Fourth. j Jewkes
in the Fifth and Hauck in the Sixth ex-
pire. The death of Mr.. Van Horn makes
both aldermanic places in the Fifth dis
trict vacant.
Alderman O'Neill will likely be renom-
mated Mr. O'Rourke thinks some of
getting in again, butastands aghast at the
expense attending a canvass. Donnelly
will not ask for another term. He does
not want it and will not take it. Prigge,
too, has de cided to make way for some
one else. JewKes would like to go back
and may, but Sutherland, OF
the Journal, and Johnny Piloubet,
son of ex-Judge Piloubet, think that they
will fit more neatly to the two Fifth dis
trict vacancies. Hauck wants renomi-
nation, but John Kaiser, a Lafayette
saloonkeeper, has served notice on him
chat he proposes to get into the race
against him. The foremost candidate in
the Fourth district is furniture dealer
Dunnes son.
Among those whose places are to be
filled are two of the three Republican
members in the Board. Alderman Scher-
merhorn is the lone star Republican hold
over.

They said they found the boy, who told
them he was lost. The police com
municated with the Newark police

him. The two men were held for inves-
