NEWARK. April 10. 1890. Judge Depue
made ruling this morning as to the APP
location of the law passed by the Legis-
lature fixing the salaries OF the State
Crier and Sergeant alarms at 5000.
The general impression was that the
act created two new offices, and there has
been some lively hustling for the places.
The matter came before the judge this
morning. and he decided that the law Gre
ated no new offices, but simply fixed the
compensation of those which already ex-
listed. Judge Depue also said that il the
law did create new Offices he would reap
point the present incumbents, because
they were soldiers of the late war and
were entitled to the positions under the

WASHINGTON, Dec. lI.-Edward >.
Miller, who Ii undoubtedly insane, was
arrested here last night He wanted 20
kill the president. Miller has been under
the constant watch of the police depart
ment ever since last May, and for the
last six weeks a special man has been
detailed at the white house to see that he
did not attemptto inJure the president.
While apparently rational In every other
respect, Miller labored under halln-
cinatlon that.it devolved upon him TO
assassinate the president and Secretary
Blaine. Col, Moore, chief OF police, and
the district attorney concluded that IL
was no longer safe TO allow him TO re-
main at liberty. When president Har-
rison returned from indiana after the
election and stepped from the train at the
Baltimore a. Potomac depot Miller was
on the platform and made some violent
demonstration. but detective McMahon
took him away. No weapon was found
In his pocket. and after consultation
between Mr.. Harrison and Chief Moore
IL was concluded b. allow the man 10 GO
but 20 have him watched. Yesterday,
as result OF q consultation between Mr..
Harrison and the chief of the secret
service, he was arrested and will be sent
30 the insane asylum.

PLAINvWw, Neb., Dec. Il.-Special:
A special train over the Pacific Short
Lime railroad to-day. took four cars Of
fine cattle to the Chicago market from
this place. They were shipped by C.
Wallace, stock dealer. TheSe were also
three cars from O'Neill In the same train.
The stock was given a special run from
Sioux City via. the Chicago, Milwaukee
Il st. Paul railway.
The weather has grown rapidly colder
since midnight, and indications point to
a cold snap. Farmers are generally well
over with their work, the fine weather
giving them plenty Of time TO harvest
crops. Trade Is exceptionally good and
merchants are correspondingly happy.
Crops of all kinds have been consider
ably above the average, and good prices
have ruled steadily.
