MAMIE MURPHY'S SLAYER.
The Police Think Printer Jackson
Is in Newark.

NEWARK, May 8. 1S90.-It is believed
that Charles Jackson, the escaped muir
derer of the girl Mamie Murphy. for
whom the New York police have been
hunting for nearly three weeks. Is In hid
ing in or near Newark, and that the local
detectives have pretty good evidence to
induce them to think SO. The appearance
of man answering his description was
known on Wednesday night, but it was
laughed at A telegram received yester-
day afternoon in this city stirred the OIL
GERS up considerably.
The receipt of a telegram was denied by
Detective Carroll, out Detective Stiansby
and he were out on case, which they
said had nothing to do with Newark,
which of course meant that it was not for
any crime committed in Newark. There
are many reasons for believing that Jack
son would come to Newark, for he is
pretty well-known here among printers,
and has visited this city within the past
year.
AS the time of his disappearance length
ems the New York authorities are more
eager than ever to capture him. The de-
scription sent out by Inspector Byrnes OF
New York and which has been sent to the
police in this city is accompanied by two
photos, one with mustaohe and one
without. It reads as follows:-
Charles e. Buchanan, alias Charles e.
Jackson, a Canadian, between twenty
eight and thirty-one years of age; five
feet seven inches in height, short build.
dark brown hair, medium complexion;
had smooth face when last seen; has very
wide noStrils; wore dark coat and vest,
striped pants, reddish scarf, black derby
hat. Speaks with an English accent. Is
drinking man; associates with fallen
women.
Buchanan is compositor and gener-
ally works on newspapers. AT the time
OF his fight he was member of Typo
graphical Union No. 9 of this city. In
1882 he was member Of Typographical
He was also a member Of Toronto Typo
graphical Union No. 81
On Wednesday the son of Policeman
Early, of the Second precinct, told his
father at supper time that he had been
offered a ladies' gold watch cheap. He
stated that the man, whose appearance
answers that of Jackson. seemed to be
quite worn out and worried. His face
was pale and he had a hunted look.
Young Early examined the watch and
saw on the inside the name OF Mamie
ararppa Marpaay qr as Maie ha1 MgdFay ass tsnt ea
the watch might have belonged
to the murdered girl, because he
had read very little about the case, but
he was suspicious on general principles
about any watch offered for sale under
such circumstances when the vendor was
PROBABLY willing to take less than any
pawnbroker would lend on it.
Policeman Early communicated the
facts to CAPTAIN Andrew McAfanus, of
the Second precinct, and the captain in
formed headquarters of the matter, deem
ing it of sufficient Importance to be
handled by the regular detectives. The
matter was kept very quiet

DOWNFALL AND DEATH.
The Sad End of Mrs. Huss0n Causes
Another Woman's Arrest.

Information reached Police Headquart-
ers yesterday afternoon that woman
had died without medical attendance in
the morning at No. 31s Grand street. The
circumstances surrounding the death
were so suspicious that Mrs. Ryan, a
woman who lived with her, was placed
under arrest and locked up in the Grove
Street Police Station.
The woman was too drunk when ar
rested to given even her name.
A JERSEY CITY NEWS reporter visited
the scene just after the arrest. He ascer-
tanned that the dead woman's name was
Mrs. Katharine Husson. She was years
ago left a widow by Samuel Husson, the
proprietor of the saloon at Steuben
and Henderson streets. Some years
years ago, she was obliged TO relinquish
the ownership of the saloon, She had
taken to drink, and her once pros
porous business had dwindled away.
Her husband was, some time be-
fore his death, prominent Mason,
For several years she has gained liveli-
hood by working out among the friends
who knew her in days of prosperity. She
lived at one time in the second story of
the building directly opposite the City
Hail.
The woman, with whom she was living
at the time Of her death and who was
arrested. had become her room-mate only
few days ago.
Mrs. Ryan was before Justice Stilsing
this morning, but was remanded till
Monday Patrolman Nick Toppin testi-
fed that he found Mrs. Ryan drunk and
protesting against the efforts of the
neighbors to prepare the dead body OF
Mrs. Husson, which had been found with
eyes and mouth wide open, for removal
to the morgue. Mrs Ryan Indignantly
denied the story, but was unable to ex-
plain her conduct.

CAMDEN, May 8. 1896. There is dread
full state of uncertainty in this section as
to how far the effects of the failure of the
Philadelphian Bank of America may ex-
of South Jersey seem to be involved.
Within three day six small banks have,

their earnings of many wears, swallowed
up in the financial whirlpool.
One of the first to go under was the

which had intimate business rela-
tions with the wrecked Philadelphia
bank. Its depositors were mostly small
merchants and mechanics, on whom the
loss falls heavily, and many distressing
scenes ensued about the bank
The Port Morris Bank, a small branch
Of the Camden Fidelity, Security and
Trust Company. is also wrecked. Its
deficit of deposits is announced to be
81, 100. Twelve cents constituted the sum
found in the safe when the doors were
closed. Many poor oystermen have lost
ther entire seasons earnings by the fall
ure.
Another of the New Jersey feeders of
the Bank of America was the Merchanta'
Bank Of Atlantic City. This institution
is a complete wreck. and
it has dragged down with it
three other banks In as many
small towns in the neighborhood. The
total liabilities of this bank are stated to
be sos, IT.. IS, and its assets are believed to
be less than $50, 900.
The first of its branches to feel the
shock was the bank at Mullica Hill.
Most of its depositors are poor farmers,
many of whom have not yet heard of the
failure.
Then the cyclone struck the bank at
Pleasantville, and it's officers announced
that the institution had been drained to
its last cent. The greatest excitement
prevails there, and the directors have
called town meeting to see what can be
done.
The Merchants Bank at Elmer was
subjected to heavy run yesterday after.
noon, and it took only twenty minutes
to clean out the money in the
bank. Most of the depesitoss have
lost everything. The cashier says the
bank will he able to pay one hundred
cents on the dollar, but the statement
does not satisfy or a1lay the excitement
and business men say the village is finan
cially ruined.
1t is expected that other institutions
are in danger, and the entire extent Of
the disaster will not be fully known for 8
week.

ELIZABETH, May 3. 1S90.-The Dwyer
brothers when they opened the race track
here on April declared they would do all
they could to drive pool rooms out of ex-
istence
Through their efforts the rooms were
closed for a short time. 1t was alleged
by the bookmakers then that the Eliza

the law of the State, and they procured
evidence ON which to arrest the proprie-
tors and bookmakers doing business at
the track.
Yesterday warrants were issued at the
instance of Peter Delacey, one of the pro-
prietors of the City Pool Rooms. They
were put in the hands of officers, and yes
terday afternoon was the time set for
serving them.
Mr.. Delacey was on hand to see that
the men they called for were taken
into custody, and. between the
second and third races, the
warrants were served. Henry Sted-

was taken to Elizabeth. where he was

A New Elevator to Quicken Time to
the Hill Top.
On Thursday, as told in The JERSEY
CRY NEWS yesterday, the Pavonia and
Summit avenue line Of horse cars was
sold to the North Hudson County Rail-
way Company. This morning it was
authoratively announced that at an early
date the new owners would commence
work on steam inclined elevator, rum
ming from the foot of Pavonia avenue to
the brow of the HILL
The elevator will be ON the same plan
as the one which was formerly used by
the road at the foot of the Hill In Hobo
ken. The saving of time and horse flesh,
the company think, will more than repay
them for their venture. The time occu-
pied in climbing the Hill under the old sys-
tenn was about minutes. The time by the
elevator will be about thirty seconds.
This new road of the company gives it
full scope from Pavonia avenue to the
most northern point in the county. The
new line will connect with the Court
House, Central avenue and Grove street
lines and with all their other lines In the
northern section of the county.
