Christian Schneider Disappears
from Camden Under a
Cloud.

Christian L. Schneider, a young
jeweller, of Federal, below Fourth
street, Camden, was absent from his
place Of business, and Constable
James Hunt, of the Fifth ward, was
looking for him yesterday with a war
rant for his arrest on charges of lar
ceny as bailee and of obtaining dia-
monds from A. F. March, of Brooklyn,
N. Y, under false pretences. The
amount Of the claim is said to be
about $500.
Sheriff Baird yesterday attached
the store, which he will sell out Satur-
day. He said yesterday that there
were several claims and the amount
of Schneider's liabilities would reach
many thousands of dollars.
The Young maj has been missing
more than a week. Last night his
sister, DIR. Schellinger, was in the store
and requestedthat her brother should
not be referred to as a defaulter. She
said that he had left the city to sell
some goods and was expected back at
any time. His financial trouble, she
said, had been caused by listening to
sruooth-tongued statesmen who I'M
loaded diamonds on him with the
promise of giving him ample time to
pay for them, but when he was unable
TO meet the payments they pushed the
claim they held, and dull trade caused
financial embarrassment. She SAID
her brother was able to meet all out
standing obligations. She admitted
that she was aware that the stock was
to be sold by the Sheriff.
Schneider is a popular young man
of about twenty-three Or twenty-four
years Of g and took great interest
in sports, especially horse racing. He
was unmarried and possessed remark
able business tact.

Another committee was ordered to
draw up resolutions favoring q federation
of the typographical unions Of the State
which it is proposed to submit to all con-
cerned. Various schemes were suggested
for raising contributions toward re
Printers Home Fund, and it is probable
that an entertainment will be given at an
early date for this deserving object.
1t was unanimously decided to levy the
assessment recommended by the Amer
lean Federation of Labor for he defence
fund of the eight-hour movement. The
money will be collected in each chapel by
the chairman.
The following resolution was adopted
unanimously n without solicitation
from the coach drivers
Resolved. That we, the members Of Typograph-
ical Union No. "a, in regular session assembled,
| do heartily approve of and sympathize with the
union coach drivers in their fight for living
wages and reasonable hours of labor.
Ex-Assemblyman James f. Norton was
M ade an honorary member of No. "a and

the first retired member of the craft to

An invitation to the officers Of the
union to attend Typographical Union No.

At their next meeting in April the

yesterday appointed as Consul to
Tunstall, the great pottery town OF
En- gland. MI. Burgess was APP
pointed at the solicitation of the pot
tiers of both Trenton and East Liver
pool, all of whom signed the petition,
and the National Association also
favored the appointment.
Congressman Buchanan and Nc
Kinley became involved in such a
difficulty over the three candidates
for the position soon otter the present
administration came into power that
the President refused to appoint any
one. Mr.. Burgess was urged to ac-
cept the place by the potters. though
he did not want it.
Mr.. Burgess has been in Trenton for
eleven years. He was born in Brook
lyn, though the opposition made
against him by Hughes Oliphant was
that he was an Englishman and was
importing ware. He is a graduate of
Princeton College. class Of w, and
studied medicine until i'll health made
it necessary for him to stop. He then
went into the importing business I'M
til he came to Trenton. He will leave
Trenton in about two months and
will take his family with him. While
abroad he will make a careful study
OF the pottery interests as they affect
this country.

Sensational Newspapers
Exchange.

Exchange.
Mr.. Sweeny. of Iowa, has intro.
duced in Congress a bill which
proposes to exclude from the mails
any newspaper or periodical prin,
cipally made up Of criminal news,
police reports or accounts OF crimi-
nal deeds. The object OF the meas
ure are undoubtedly good, but most
likely its manner Of enforcement
would meet with strong objections.
Nis true that the news papers OF
today pay too much attention to a
recital Of crimes and sensational
matters. which frequently stir up
incite the minds Of the youths seek,
ing notoriety to deeds of violence
and laWlessness, finally ending in
their being led to the gallOws or
consigned to the teions cell.
But can and will such q measure
as Mr.. SWeeny propoles be enforced
with equity and fairness to all /?
The postmasters OF the country
would be the judges az to the ad
instability Of papers through the
mails, and this would place the en-.
tire press completely and absolutely
under the contrel of The party ii
power, for the postmasters are the
creature of tho dominant adminie.
tration, to be removed on changed
at will, and the creature is usually
subservient to the dictates and
wishes of the creator. Therefore, if
newspapers made a charge of cor.
ruption or criminality, against any
'bigbuga Of the ruling administra.
ton, whether true or false, it could
be kept in the dark, by simply hold
ing that the paper, attempting to
give publicity to the matter, came
under the prohibited list. Ofcourse
the injured publisher would have re-
course to the courts. but this would
not avail him much after bis paper
had been thrown out Of the mails a
few times, and would only tend to
encourage unnecessary and expensive
litigation.
There are many papers devoted
mainly to sensational matters, crimes
and highly racy reading, which
ought to be abolished. but this
should be done only through an
orcer Of courts in each and every
instance.
