The Cowsrdly Story of a Brutal Ex-
Convict.
Mrs. Annie Connolly. of Railroad av-
enue, was a complainant against her hus-
band this morning in the Court of Gem
eral Sessions. She testified that he drove
her from her home about three O'Clock on
Sunday morning. Her son William
corroborated her statement, and said
his father and mother quarrelled because
the father, who had just served ter m of
two and one half years at State Prison,
said he would not work for ST. IS a day,
and Mrs Connolly declared that If he
wouldn't work for that wages he was
lazy man.
Connolly denied this and said:-.'My
wife told me neighbor was suffering
from horrors-'deliar tremers' and asked
me to do something for him. / bought
some 'aromo tassio' and gave it to the
man. When came home and went in

SALEM REPUBLICANS.
Richard T. Starr Leads for the sena-
torial Nomination.


Special to the JERSEY City Ne,us.
SALEM, Sept. IL, 1S90.-The Republican
County Convention to nominate candi-
date for Senator, one member of the
General Assembly. Sheriff and three
coroners, will meet in the Opera House in
this city on Mon day. September 30. From
tho present outlook it appears to be GER
tain that Richard Il. Starr, of this city,
will be the Senatorial nominee, while
Alfred B. Shute, of Manington township,
who is Director of the Board of Free
holders, will receive the nomination for
Sheriff. No name has been mentioned in
connection with the nomination for As
sembly, and nobody appears to want the
office.
1t has been said that Mr.. Starr is too
much of q ''kid glove" politician to win
with the agricultural fraternity, but this
is believed by the party leaders here to be
q mistake. Mr.. Starr is popular, whole
souled gentleman. Being in the canning
business for the past sixteen years and
being brought in contact with the far
mers in this section, many of whom raise
tomatoes for him exclusively, he has
many friends and supporters among the
agriculturists, who will not only vote for
him should he receive the nomination,
but who will work to secure his election.

tation. Both lawyers wanted the Court
to allow the jury in the case TO go down
to the scene Of the disaster and make OBJ
servations After considerable talk the
Judge decided to grant the request
and told the jurors of what was
expected of them. He said it
was optional with them to 60 or not. If
they thought that personal inspection
of the scene of the disaster would aid
them in determining the case, they would
be permitted to go.
The jury, after celebrating for a
while, decided to go. The Court then
cautioned them when they arrived at the
scene to remain in body and not to
separate from one another.

OVER THE RAIL TO DEATH.
Trial of John Mcnamara ON Charge of
Homicide.

Trial of John Mcnamara on a Charge of
Homicide.
John Mcnamara, of Union hill went,
on July 26, to his home, and there met
Michael O'Rourke. who lived in the same
building. The two men got into fight.
and when Mrs. Margaret O'Rourke went
to the assistance of her husband both
fighters fell from the balcony
where the row took place, and
ORourke's neck was broken. Mcnamara
was indicted for manslaughter and to-
day in the Court of General Sessions the
trial took place. Mcnamara was de-
Tended by Counsellor William D. DAILY.
Mrs. Margaret O'Rourke. the first wit
ness, testified that she thought McNa
mara had been drinking that day, for he
was quarrelsome and wanted to strike
her son.
"My husband told him not to, and
went in the hall to stop McNamara.
McNamara kicked me, and my husband
went to the sroop. / told my son to go
help his father, and | went too. but be-
fore / could put my hand on them they
went over the bannister to the ground, a
distance of five feet. When my husband
fell he cried, Pm murdered
Cross-examined by Mr.. Daly:--
Madam, did you not push Mcnamara
and your husband over the railing?"
mo, sir; did not place my hands on
him.
Cornelius O'Rourke testified that the
railing was about as high from the stoop
as a table and that he saw McNamara
kick his mother and then ''rasselp
around with his father until Mcnamara
got his fathers back to the rail,
and then both went over the rail
He heard his father speak once, but
could not tell what he said. O'Rourke,
when cross-examined, said McNamara
had been drinking "a growler Of beer.'
and witness had been drinking only
sschooners." Mcnamara kicked Mrs.
O'Rourke first in the stomach and then
on the hand.
George Sharp testified that he saw the
two men on the stoop. McNamara's back
was against the rail, and Mrs. O'Rourke
tried to push Mcnamara down the stoop
but not over the rail. That closed the
case for the state.
Mcnamara, when he became witness
in his own behalf, claimed that he had
only acted in self defence and that Mrs
O'Rourke had pushed him and her hus-
band over the balcony.
The case was then given to the jury.

jurors anything that might bear on the
case and any changes which might have
been made since the accident. Several
witnesses have testified that the deadly
crossing has not been protected since the
accident.
The case was on again today in the Su-
preme Court, the jury having returned
last night from the survey of the scene,
OF the disaster. After some little evil
dence was given, Co unsellor Wilson, for
the plaintiffs, began summing up. The
case may reach the jury today, but 1t is
doubtful.

OYSTERS IN THE SOUP.
The Fluid is Atlantic Mud Broth Made

MAYS LANDING, Sept. II. 1890 South
Jersey oyster planters are growing de-
spondent owing to the continued warm
weather, as it is feared that many oyster
beds will be covered up with mud, caused
by the high tides in the rivers, lakes and
bays for the past three day. In Maurice
River Cove the oyster crop was never
known to be so large before. The planters
also report that the crop at Somers Point,
Lakes Bay, and Brigantine Shoals is i'm
meuse.
Nevertheless. if cold snap does not
soon come, small sales will be made, as
within twenty-four hours after the oys-
tiers are fished up from the beds they sour
in tine shell. This is hard for the
purchaser to detect. as the oyster will
open fine and look perfectly fresh. An
old planter said today that the instant
you attempt to swallow the soured oyster
it makes you sick. The markets through
out this county are carrying small stock.

A case, which is creating much interest
among Foresters in this county, was
signed before Judge Abel l. Smith in the
First District Court in Hoboken yester-
day. The question to be decided is
whether the organization or any of its
courts is liable for benefits accruing to
any of its members according to the con-
stitution and bylaws of the court. The
present suit was, instituted by John W.
Mueller, through his counsel, Corpora
tion Attorney Mlnturn. The defendant
named is Court Fritz Reuter- A. o. +. of
A., OF which the plaintiff claims to have
been a member.
The plaintiff says that while member
in good standing of the Court on January
"a, 1890, he was taken sick. He notified
the Court at the time, but never received
any benefits He claims that $175 is due
him.
Counsellor DAILY put up an ingenious
defence. He said that the Court could
not be sued under any act, and also said
that in suing the Court as an incorpcr-
ated body, each member is defendant,
and therefore the plaintiff was suing him
self.

| HODOKHN SCANDAL.
Patsey" Londrigan's Son
Accused of Running
Pretty Nellie
Gallagher.

Hoboken has another social scandal
Yesterday afternoon a handsome, dark
eyed young woman, with flashing red
cheeks and wearing a jaunty hat, entered
Recorder McDonough's court She spoke
to the Judge for few moments, and her
eyes filed with tears. She was then ush-
cred into the private sanctum of the Re-
corder. Great efforts were made to keep
the object of the young woman's visit a
secret, but the facts of the case leaked
out.
The girls name is Miss Nellie Gal
lagher She is of respectable parentage
and is eighteen years old. She lived at
No. 164 Madison street. The object of her
visit was to procure warrant for the ar
rest of the son of Councilman Londrigan.
She charges him with being the author of
her ruin. A warrant for young Londri-
gan's arrest was Immediately issued and
Court Officer Stanton sent to his house.
Young Londrigan was not at home, but
his father, the Alderman. said that his
son would not marry the girl if he had to
be sent to Europe.
Miss Gallagher told the story of young
Londrigan's perfidy with tears in her
pretty brown eyes. "Mr. Londrigan has
been paying attention to me for three
years." she said. He was very attentive
and took me to many places of amuse-
ment and social gatherings. One night
in the latter part of May he accomplished
my ruin. When l informed him of my
condition, about month ago. and asked
MIN to be honorable, he refused. He is
employed in shirt factory in New York
and earns good wages. Invent thento see
him, but he said that his folks had plenty
of money and would see him through his
scrape all right am not the first girl
he has ruined. but trusted him implicit
ly. He had been paying attentions to me
for such long time that thought he
would not deceive me-
Miss Gallagher is at present stopping
with her aunt. Her parents when they
learned of her condition, turned her from
their door. The young woman has the
sympathy of all who know her as she was
always OF irreproachable character.
