should be represented by an eagle and the
Democrats by a bear. This was the hrst
bit OF humorinfused into the meeting d
caused general laughter.
John w. Jakeway, of Jersey City, re-
presenting the Federation of Labor, IN q
we'll arranged speech presented the views
of the State Federation on the subject OF
ballot reform, and said they are favorable
to O system that comprises all the essen
tlal secret features of the Australian
system.
r. Wayne Parker, for the Board OF
Trade of Newark, read u memorial OF tnae
body which asked for q cure OF the ue-
fective system of voting now prevalene
in the State. 1t also asked for q Detter
system ofregistration, and also a better
class OF men to be election officers:
X. S, Solomon and George Duryee
United States District Attorney, spoke on
the subject and emphasized what was
presented in the memorial. The latter
favors q personal registration, Election
officers, he said, should be State or city
officers and be placed Under bonds.
William Goodwin, of Middlesex county,
the inventor of a new ballot-box, tried to
impose on the time of the commission
by telling about his metallic votes and
his automatic ballot-box. The committee
asked him to defer his description, as
they were in session to hear suggestions
in reference to the drafting of a bill only.
j. Herbert Boggs. who drafted the Kane
bill and one of the original ballot reform
ers of the State, stated chat he was salts
fed that the Governors address over
the whole subject of ballot reform. The
matter of the distribution of ballots be-
fore the election he thought was open to
some exception, and will give rise to OPP
portunities of fraud. He suggested the
use of carbon paper sc that the voter in
the booth could mark his official ballot
and make a duplicate ballot to keep, and
that would be a fair test of his ballot in
case of dispute. Be expressed little faith
in the suggestion of filing of election ex-
lenses. This could have no influence on
phe result. The committee have adj
journed until tomorrow morning.

Latest Intelligence From Other Parts OF

The absence of Coroner Iron led
Prosecutor Middleton to postpone
the contemplated search of the Berke-
ley Arms today, but when he learned
late in the afternoon that the owners
of the hotel had ordered Postmaster
p eter johnson, of Ortley, to take pos
session of the building, lie issued an
order to Detective Hagaman to make
the search. The order will be carried
into effect tomorrow, when a draft OF
the scene of the Jack Murphy homI-
eide will be made.
The gun with which Murphy was
shot has been targeted at distances
varying from eighteen inches to eighty
feet, loaded cartridges found in the
house being used. The cartridge
found in the gun was used at the dis
tance of nine feet, and the pattern
made was almost identical with that
in Murphy's body. /.
Mrs. Rosseau and her SON arrived
here tonight. They hurried away
from the station to the Jail and were
evidently annoyed by the attention
they attracted. They met Rosseau in
the corridor of the jail. Mr.. and Mrs.
Rosseau ran into each others arms
and wept vehemently.
After a brief conversation with her
husband Mrs. Rosseau said that his
counsel would be Frederick r. Cou-
dert, of New York, and j. w. Car
michael, of this village. Mrs. Rosseau
said she was confident that Judge Van
Sickel would release her husband on
bail before the week was out.

Grip and Suicide.


Mrs. Joseph Colder, residing near
Husted's Station, a few miles above
Bridgeton, committed suicide Monday
night by hanging herself. She had
not been well for some time, h grip
having followed soon after an attack
of malaria, and her mind had become
affected. One day last week she at
tempted to put an end to her life by
hanging herself to a high bed-post,
but was discovered by her husband,
who loosened the knot in time to save
her life. After this a closer watch
than ever was kept on her.
Early in the evening she remarked
to her husband:-''You needn't watch
me, for if I had wanted to put myself
out of the way / could have done it
lots of times since them" referring to
the previous attempt. But during
the evening, after husband, who lay
by her side, and her little son, who
sat near to give her the medicine, had
fallen into a slumber, she s~tealthily
stole from the room, and, going to
another, tied the ends of a towel to-
gether, placed it over q closet door,
Slipped her head through the hanging
loop, kicked away the chair on which
she was standing, and slowly s~trangled
to death.
Here she was found by her husband
and son soon afterward. Mrs. Colder
was q daughter of the late Judge Ell
well Nichols, of Salem county, and
was in her forty-third year. Her hus-
band is a we'll known and respected
farmer. She leaves two children.
