ADJUSTMENTS.

The Bottom of the Sea at the Academy
"The Bottom Of the Sea" was produced
last night at the Academy CT Music. The
play is one of the best ~melo-dramas that
has been seen in a long while. The seem
cry is excellent. Especially fine is the
scene that shows the bottom Of the sea.
The acting is good. The hero of the play
is James Norton, a wealthy young Ameri-
can, who, of course, falls in love with a
girl who afterwards accompanies him on
a French ship which is laying a cable be-
tween Europe and this country. This
character was impersonated by Nj. Frank
Kavington, and he did his part well,
There is n wicked Greek, Alexis Banilli.
who wants to get the jewels which belong
to james Norton's ladylove, and this
wicked Greek takes a terrible dislike to
Jimmy Norton and tries to ruin him.
The part of Alexis Banilla was played by
George w. Barnum. He is q fine actor
and has a splendid look in his deep blue
flashing eyes. He is q typical william.
Mr.. Eugene O'Rourke as Barney Doyle
is The best stage Irishman that ever ap-
peared at the Academy. He does not
overdo the thing. His accent n his
manner are quite natural. The character
of Madame 10 Brown sits well on Miss
Rita O'Neill, and little Miss Cohen does
the giddy, girly-girly young wife very
we'll indeed.
Adolph jackson is q first rate actor. He
takes the part of Henri De Sartine anu
has all the chivalry of The dashing young
Frenchman.
The melo-drama by Wilson Barrett and
Hall Game, entitled Good Old Times"
now running at the Fourteenth Street
Theatre. is certainly one of the best of its
kind that New York has seen since the
days OF 1.-The Lights o. London and "The
Silver King" 1t is, in fact, a highly in
genious piece of work. 1t will be the at
traction at the Academy of Music next
week. All the elaborate scenery and es-
tensive mechanical changes will be
brought here and the same cast as now
seen in New York, including all the extra
people, soldiers, convicts, etc.

TEN YEARS FOR MURPHY.
Found Guiltyof Mans1augh-
ter and Sentenced at
Once.

The trial OF James Murphy for killing
John Denning was ended yesterday after
noon and a verdict of guilty of man
slaughter was found. Judge Knapp at
once sentenced Murphy to ten years at
State Prison. The proceedings after THE
JERSEY CITY NEWS went to press yester-
day were as follows:-
Frank Mackey, of No. 90 Willow ave-
nue., Hoboken, testified that he heard
Denning say to Murphy, id liar" and
saw Fleesey knock penning, down and
Murphy kick him. He called the atten-
ton Of Bradbury to 1t, who said it was a
shame for Murphy to kick him.
Several other witnesses testified in the
same strain and then DIR. Converse
testified that he examined Dennings
body.
II found," said he, "a lacerated
wound Il and t~hree-quarter inches
in length over the orbit of the right eye.
on the left cheek l found a black and
blue spot about the size of q quarter of q
dollars Igfound a black ana blue spot
upon thef front of the right arm; under
meath the scalp | found Il blue spot about
one inch in diameter behind the right
ear; found within the scalp that a very
extensive hemorrhage had taken
place the whole of the left
surface of the brain was covered with
blood; the hemorrhage was caused by vio-
lence to the head"
The Prosecutor announced that the
State rested when the doctor completed
his testimony and Counsellor DAILY open
ed for the defense.
Peter Moran, the first witness for the
defense testified to the good character OF
Murphy, sald he mad been in the county
four years I'M one half and mad worked
for Moran three years of the time. Moran
said Murphy bore IL good character.
John Carroll VINO was one of the gang
in sMathison's saloon the night of the kill
ing swore that he saw no row whatever
between Denning and Murphy,
Murphy then took the witness chair.
He said he was in the saloon May 25, and
there were from twenty to twenty-five
men there. He saw Carroll and Dwyer
wrestle and soon after a fight was started
outside between Carroll and Murdoch.
"Then' said witness II went down to-
ward Fourth street where | was arrested.
l don't know Fleesey; Inever spoke to him
in my life: / didn't kick Denning that
night; / never saw him; l never went out
of the saloon with Fleesey and / don't re-
member ever having any trouble with
Denning."
That closed the case. Counsellors DAILY
and Winfield made brief appeals to the
jury. and Judge Knapp made an equally
brief charge, III which he eliminated the
charge of murder in the first degree. He

The Constable Got $50.

The seemingly Understandable case OF
DR.. Jacob 4. Fields against Thomas
Churchill, of Bayonne, came up in a new
form this morning before judge Knapp,
in the Circuit Court. When DIR. Fields
first began his suit he took out a writ OF
attachment against Mr.. Churchill, and
Constable William Barnes executed ii
and, with other goods, seized a horse and
phaeton.
He took the animal to a livery stable
and incurred an expense of Sl04 for its
keeping. DR.. Fields was unsuccessful
in his suit and the constable had to pay
the livery bill He began q suit against
the doctor to recover this amount and
the case was tried before Judge Knapp
and a jury.
MI. Norman l.. Rowe for DIR. Fields
contended that as the record showed that
Churchill's executor gave a bond in the
suit on November 10, the constable should
have given up possession of the horse, and
if he could recover anything he could
only recover from the date Of theNseizure
to the date of the fling of the bond.
Judge Knapp took Mr.. Rowe's view of
the case, n directed the jury to find a
verdict accordingly. The jury awarded
the plaintiff a verdict of $50.

BLODGETT ON TOP.
Monmouth's Democratic Convention
Was a Very Excited Affair.
suecial TO the .Jersev city Menus.

Special TO the JERSEY City Menus.
FREEHOLD, Sept. 80, 1S90.-The Demo
cratic convention of Monmouth county
was held here yesterday afternoon. 1t
was the most exciting political gathering
ever witnessed i'll this section Of New
Jersey. Several times it looked as If The
meeting would wind up in a general riot.
Surrogate Crater, of Freehold, was made
the chairman, and Samuel A, Patterson,
of Asbury Park, was elected secretary.
Water Commissioner Citizens, of Asbury
Park made a verbal protest against the
recognition of the delegates from Neptune
township, claiming that the primary held
on Saturday was not conducted legally,
ia that Republicans and non-residents
were permitted to vote. lie was howled
down
There were two delegations from Long
Branch, but the Blodgett delegates were
given their seats. Thomas S. r. Brown,
of keypOrJ. was nominated for senator
over A~ssemblyman Aaron e. Johnston, on
the first ballot. When the result was an
nounced a wild scene of disorder ensued.
Several of the delegates became engaged
in a fight, and the crowd present engaged
in shouting and Kissing.
The fight over the County Clerkship
was called and fifty-two ballots were
taken before County Collector John L.
Haight was declared the nominee. Then
followed more disorder and the chairman
was Obliged to call upon c~onstables TO ala
him in quieting the shouting delegates.
State Prison Keeper JOIN HI. Patterson,
of Trenton, was one of the spectators.
Jumping to his feet he declared that the
chairman had wrongly charged him with
doing crooked work. Chairman Crater
pacified the prison keeper by explaining
thai his remarks were addressed to the
convention.
unanimous was hailed with derision by
Patterson, and the motion was defeated.
Ruff p. Smock, of Middletown, was
named for Sheriff, on the first ballot, and
Austin p. johnson, William Il. Van
Dyke, AMI M. Posten were nominated
for Coroners.
After the convention the delegates ad-
journed to the street and excitedly de-
nounced each other, several bitter fights
occurring. Brown, the candidate for Sena-
tor, is a coal dealer, and has served one
term in the Hous OF Assembly. Three
years ago he was named tor the Senator
ship and was defeated by Henry M.
Nevwis, the Republican President OF the
Senate. The result of today's convention
is u triumph for the Blodgett faction.
The friends of County Clerk Patterson
are wild with rage because he was not re-
nominated, and they will cali another
convention this week to nominate a full
county ticket. The Albeit Democrats
claim that Brown was nominated at Sem
ator Blodgett's dictation, for the purpose
of knitting him at the polls in the interest
OF the Republican candidate.

How He Was Treated by "A Runaway
Boy Who Interested Him. eNn'
Last night as the il O'Clock train from

boy riding on the baggage car platform.

the boy handed over to him. The little
fellow was clearly and neatly dressed,
and said, in answer, to the policeman's

of age, of No. 6 Fifth street,
Plainfeld, aud that he ran away from his
home q couple of days ago, because his
mother was going to whip him for break
ing a saucer He said he had first rome
to Philadelphia and then taken the train
for this city.
The policeman was so pleased with the
little fellow that instead of taking him to
the station house, he took him to his
house on Bay street, where ne a supper
and was put to bed.
Yesterday morning the boy went out to
play, after breakfast, and ran away. A
search was made for him, but he had dis
appeared. and ageneral alarm was sent
out for him.
This morning a lady and gentleman

ANOTHER SUSPECT.
Did Lingo or a White Man Kill Mrs.
Annie Miller?

Dlu Lingo OF a White man hilt MRS.
Annie Miller?
Speciai to the JERSEY city Ne,os.
CAMDEN, N. j.. Sept. 30, 1896. -Again, as
in the case of the murder of Annie Lee
coney, it now seems probable that the
Camden county officials nave stupidity
erred in causing the arrest of the negro,
Frank Lingo, for the murder of
Mrs. Annie Miller last Thursday.
Mrs. Lingo, wife of the colored suspect,
said this morning:-"Al the white folks
believe Frank guilty, just because he was
arrested for the murder. Tney arrested
him because he was the first one arrested
for the murder of Annie Leconey. The
officers came here and ransacked the
house from top to bottom.
They took my pockeJbook with SIN
1t, leaving me only five cents to support
the house. They took my poor old
fathers razor, thinking it was with that
that The murder was committed, and
finally they took my husband"
The woman ended with a sob. She, at
least, believes firmly in her husbands
innocence. "a it was limited this morn
ing that the police authorities had
changed their minds about his guilt, and
were looking in another direction for the
real murderer.
Public Prosecutor Jenkins was seen at
his office in Camden, and when question
ed about this new phase of the case would
not deny it. =
The new suspect is said to be a member
of a prominent white family in the vicin-
ity of Merchantville. who is addicted to
drink and had a penchant for Mrs. Miller
before she was married,
"All / can say is that, so far, the evil
dence we lave secured against Lingo is
only circumstantial, and not sufficient to
convict him. he declared.
Lingo's treatment in the jail is not al
together fair. So far he has not been
able ~to,consult with his counsel, although
Lawyers Jess and Taylor, who so ably
defended him at the time of the Leconey
affair, have applied every day at the jail
to see him.
This indicates that the prosecution is
no sure OF its line of conduct SO far, and
this morning it became known that Cor
oner Stanton had decided to postpone the
inquest for the present.
1t is admitted that this is done in order
to give the detectives more time to secure
evidence.

MOUNT HOLLY, Sept. 80, 1S90.-The New
Jersey State Tax Commission held a
meeting at the Court House here today.
The members present today were Sena-
tors Everett, Barker, Gummere and ex-
Judge Hoffman. There was a good at
tendance of representative men of the
county. About fifteen assessors were
present.
The question discussed with the asses
sors was as to their method of assessing
real estate throughout the county. 1t was
ascertained that with the exception of
farm land no property is assessed to its
full value, as the law requires. For not
doing this Judge Hoffman said the asses
sors should be indicted. He thought that
certainly ought to be remedied. Farm
land, which has greatly deprecated for
several years past, is generally assessed
at $50 per acre, which is thought to be its
market value.
The opinion of those present was asked
as to how the taxpayers of the county
would favor a law to assess all property
to it's full value and enfore strictly the
collection of the tax. 1t was thought
such a law would be received fayorably.
Bank stock held in the county, it was
found, is assessed at about two-thirds of
it's market value.
The appointment of a County Board of
Equalization, to be composed of two Re
publicaus and two Democrats, to make
an assessment oe all property was dis
cussed. 1t was thought such a board
need only make an assessment once in
five years, during which time the tax
valuation would remain unchanged. 1t
was generally the opinion of chose pre-
sent that a law should be passed making
it impossible for anyone to shirk the duty
of paying taxes, (Which is the cause of
much trouble at present.

by representing him as a nominee of

He did his best to prevent his nomi-
nation. But Mcdonald is the peoples
candidate. They insisted that he
must be placed at the head
of the Democratic ticket in
order that in his person a rebuke
might be pronounced against the Re-
publican policy of ~unseating elected

scription, Edward F. Mcdonald is
prominently the best candidate that

sMr. McAdoo. it seems to us, had
better silence his organs. If they keep
on grinding this time, some of the

will do him nc particular good in his

THE lightness of the vote that is
being polled today on the Constitu-
tional amendment is sufficiently dis
creditable. Here is a question which
affects every community in the State
and every individualin every commu-
nifty. Vital interests are involved,
and yet not twenty per cent. of the
voting population of this city seems
to think it worth while to turn out
and vote on it. There will be another
howl against political corruption
presently if the present restriction
Is repealed and the Legislature begins
frittering away the public money for
the benefit of jobbers and con
tractors.
Citizens who fail to vote on this
question today are, in our estima-
ton, guilty of treason in the second
degree.

According to their story they were hired

in the year. The discharged women are
all foreigners and penniIess, with nc pros

Knapp, and found their cases dismissed
for wanto of prosecution.
The usual list for today was made out
yesterday and posted as usual. but as
there was a murder trial on yester day,
and another was listed for this morni ng,
the lawyers whose cases were noticed for
today dbl not imagine that they would
be reached. But there was no Criminal
Court today. and Judge Magi e came over
to assist Judge Knapp in clearing up his
crowded calendar.
The spectacle of two branches of the
Circuit Court in session at the same time
was rather an unusual one and there was
much scurrying around by the lawyers.
Several cases were called and not being
moved were promptly %nonsuited.
