and was told by the president to take his
seat No one moved to greet him and he
walked across the chamber alone. Even
the republicans, who voted to seat him,
paid him no attention, and he sat down
as though he was the only man in the
room.

amounting to $12. .260.8S.

LIPPINCOYP TALKS OUT.
He Gives Notice in Court
That Something Will
Drop Soon.
ANOTHER POLICY LECTURE.
Evidently His Honor Is Not Much
Afraid of the Fighting
Grand Jury.

Judge Lippincott got in another blow
at the Grand Jury today on the policy
business. He did it while two dealers
were before him for sentence. In view
of the recent controversy between the
Grand Jury and himself, his remarks are
significant
August Seaman, a Lad of twenty, who,
while tending bar for Henry Faber at
Newark and Garden streets, Hoboken,
sold policy slips, was fined $50 and costs
by Judge Lippincott. The original fine
imposed was 500, but the young mans
mother was unable to pay more than $50
and after giving the defendant good
lecture the court accepted this amount.
Henry Faber, his employer, was next
arraigned for sentence. When ne stood
up he burst into tears and said:-"I want
to turn States evidence, your Honor. I
can tell you the names of lots of places in
Hoboken and Of the proprietors."
Have not you done so already" asked
the Judge.
''No, sir, I have only testified about Yek,
the backer of the game. !"
where does Yek lives" inquired the
Court.
AT No. 80 or 81 Clinton street, Hobo
ken, /" was the answer.
Did you state this to the Grand
Yes. sir.''
The Court is very well aware that
there are many in this business, not only
in Hoboken, but here in this neighbor-
hood, right around the Court House and
elsewhere, and these proprietors had bet
ter look out pretty sharp or there will be
trouble for some one. The effect of this
business is demoralizing and the Court
may soon begin to entertain complaints
in open Court.
The Court knows great deal of this
matter. more than is generally supposed.
Citizens do not like to make complaints,
and it seems the policemen Will not.
This man was your bartender and was
selling these slips, and it is but natural
to suppose that You knew Of it and are
guilty. Can yon pay the finer'
No sir; / can't raise the money. I am
thirty years old and have wife and two
children"
Judge Lippincott thought for q moment
and said:-sWe will keep you for week
longer before passing sentence and see il
your evidence is of any use to the State.

A Sensation in Bayonne HoteI--Family
Troubles,
A tall, good looking and richly dressed
middle aged woman entered the Office Of
the La Tourette House, on the KiIl-von-
Kull shore at Bergen Point last evening
and asked to be assigned to room.
After paying she withdrew without reg
istering.
Late in the evening other guests no.
ticed that the corridor was full Of gas. It
was traced TO the door of the room occu-
pied by the strange woman. When no
response came to repeated rappings the
door was broken in.
The volume of gas that escaped from
the room nearly strangled those who had
gathered outside Then one of the men
pushed UP the window, and the women
turned their attention to the occupant of
the room, who lay upon the bed uncon-
scious. The end of a long rubber tube
attached to the burner of gas bracket
above her head dangIed near her mouth,
the cock of the jet being turned full on.

life because of family troubles, her two
children having recently died and her
husband being estranged from her. She
declined to give her name, saying that

successful she was averse to bringing
any disgrace upon her family. who hold
a high position in society.
She promised not to repeat her attempt
at suicide. This morning she left the
hotel at an early hour.

NO INDICTMENTS YET.

Though Monday May See Some Brought
in against Election Oficers.
Until about three o'clock yesterday it
was understood that the Grand Jury
would present the Indictments against
the election officers recently ar
raigned in court. The Grand Jury
had sent an officer to Judge Dixon's
house to notify him that sney were pre-
pared to come in court and another mes
senger was sent to Judge Lippincott. Be
fore the arrival of the judges. politicians
gathered in groups in and about the
Court House and appeared much excited.
The most noticeable of them
were County Clerk Mclaughlin,
Sheriff DAVIS, ?. a. O'Neill,
missioner Feeney, Freeholder German,
John M. Shannan and Billy Madden.
They at different times engaged In
earnest conversation, but when any of
the half-dozen reporters about the build
ing came near they became quiet or indf-
Gated that their conversation was private.
just before the Grand Jury entered the
court room Prosecutor Winfield entered
Thea judges chamber hurriedly- When
he came out it was the general belief that
no election indictments would be handed
the Court that day. This was later vel1-
fed, for the Grand Jury only handed in
indictments in minor cases.
1t was subsequently learned, on what
is believed to be excellent authority, that
Foreman l.. ]. Gordon had refused to-
sign the papers in the cases Of the in
dicted election officers until the Senate
settled its case at Trenton. He claimed
that by bringing the indictments form
ally before the Court, it might preju-
dice the case of Senator Mcdonald.
which was to be decided yes
terday. DIR. Gordon, it was said, was
perfectly willing and even anxious to
sign the papers as soon as the Senate case
was finished, and that in following this
line of procedure he had the appreciation
of Prosecutor Winfield.
1t was further said that this result was
brought about by some of the leading
politicians who pleaded for the post
ponement that Mcdonald might have
every advantage possible in his
effort to retain his seat in the
Senate. They only wanted the present.
ments put off until Monday, it is said,
and by earnest work and hard plodding
succeeded in accomplishing this result.
The indictments of the election officers
will be brought in court, in all probable
ity, on Monday, my informants told me.
