JOYOUS JEFFERSONIANS.
They Will Smite the Ring, Hip and
Thigh-Their Convention.

The Jeffersonian Democracy held their
regular weekly meeting at Roche's Hall
last night. About sixty delegates at
tended, with Sohn B. Fraser in the chair.
The delegates elected at the primaries
held on Thursday night were approved Of
and some routine business was trans
acted. 1t was decided to hold the con-
vention at Roche's Hall on October 2
ENTHUSIASTIC.
2 The Jetfersonians are enthusiastic owe r
the prospect of their smuggling match with
the Ring this fall, Notwithstanding the
abortive attempts of the Democr attic
make believe Republican Ring organ to
suuelch them in the incipiency of the
coming campaign. The large gathering
at Roche's Hall last evening was in
strange contrast with such lying reports
as were given of the Jeffersonian
primaries. In conversation with sew
eral OF the most prominent members
last night. found they were exceedingly
jubilant over the reports that came in
from ali the districts. They say the list
of delegates elected throughout contains
the names of men who are known as
true Democrats, in many instances prom
inent ones. There w some little talk OF
booming Martin Steljes for Sheriff, while
intmations thrown out led me 70 suspect
the jeifersonians would not likely refuse
10 endorse Hoos for that position.
THE DELEGATES.

vention of October is complete with the

Lively Scene.
Chief of Police Murphy and Detective
John Clos had desperate encounter with
burly John Scanlan. OF Second street at
noon today. Scanlan with a friend
was drunk and took up the
whole sidewalk, humping into every
other pedestrian along Newark avenue.
The Chief placed Scanlan under arrest.

Clos struck the friend, a little Irishman
and for a time the little Irishman wasn't
in it. The Chief and Clos succeeded
in getting Scanlan through Cooper
place, and as far as the Rink stables,
fighting all the way. Here Scanlan lay
down. A crowd gathered and the
little irish friend came up a
war whoop, and started in TO rescue his
prisoner. Chief Murphy raped him over
the knuckles and in the excitement the
little Irishman got away.
Scanlan was jugged after considerable
difficulty. He is the same who threatened
to demoiish Detective Dalton with a
hatchet some time ago while being placed
under arrest, and ON another occasion
knocked Policeman Barry, one of the big
gest men on the force, into a mortar tub.

Adiuired a Lunatic

Commissioner Isaac Romaine, DIR. b.
A. Watson and John D. CarscaIlen, to-
gether with jury OF sixteen men. sat in
the Court Of Chancery this morning and
enquired into the lunacy of Henry NJ.
Rush. Mr.. Rush has been an inmate of
the Morris Plains Asylum since January
4, 1887, and as he is interested in some
property now in the Court Of
Chancery it was necessary that his
lunacy should be determined in the man
ner prescribed by law. DIR. Harris. med-
cal director of the asylum, gave history
of the young mans case, and declared
tnat there was little hope of his recoverA
DR.. Lutkins said that there was always
hope in such cases, and he would not dis
pair of restoring the young mans rea-
son.
At the request of the Commissioners he
examined Mr.. Rush in private room
and reported that the young mans mind
was badly impaired and the hope of his
recovery was very slight.
The jury declared that Rush was in
capable of attending to his affairs and
certified their finding to the Chancellor

The heelers are in their glory this
morning. The Ring Shrievalty conven-
tion will be held in this city and that fact
seems to please them greatly.
The expenses of the banquet in honor
of the opening of the new public library
will be borne by the trustees.
There is just as much interest felt IN
the fight for Sheriff in this city as in any
part of the county. The people here are
awfully sore on the Jersey City Ring and
they are not to be blamed. 1t is safe to
predict that however popular Mcdonald
is, the Ring candidate for Sheriff will be
slaughtered. Bob Davis and all of his
creatures are despised.

The Baby King in Rad Health


Disquieting rumors are unhappily again
prevalent regarding the health of the
little King of Spain. 1t is to be feared
that his recent dangerous Illness has still
further enteebled naturally weak con-
stitution, and that the peril that lately
threatened his life was only averted for
awhile. and mays any time again become
imminent II is sad to think of the cease
less anxiety that must prey upon the
mind of the devoted Queen Chris
tina who has already wrestled so
hard with fate for the life of her
son, and to whom the constant suspense
and unwearying watchfulness must be a
terrible mental and bodily strain. The
Queen Regent, 1t is understood, will re-
main with her ailing child at San Sabas-
tian until mid October, as the sea air
seems to be of some benefit to the poor
little King. There is much reason TO
fear that the worst that could be told
about the baby-monarch's condition is
suppressed for reasons of state. aud that
the chances of his reaching mans estate
are extremely light.-Lddies' Pictorial

man Peters in that city last night charged
with disorderly conduct by Assistant AS
SCISSOR Timothy Conlin. When the prisoner
was brought before the Recorder this

neither the policeman nor complainant ap-
peared in court the Judge characterized
his arrest as an outrage. The prisoner
said that about twelve O'Clock last night
he went into Handles restaurant on
First street and ordered steak. He aid
not like the steak and made some dig
paraging remarks about 1t. He paid for it
and went out to the sidewalk, when
he met Conlin, who ordered the police
man to arrest him. The Judge sent for
Policeman Peters. and after hearing his
story. discharged the prisoner and
cautioned the policeman to be more care
full in future in making arrests. Police
man Peters thinks he was justified in
making the arrest as Conlin wanted to
make complaint.

THE. SPRING PALACE.

Menardville Record: The Texas Spring
Palace at Fort Worth is an assured
fact, and the people of Menard and
Schleicher counties should begin to look
around them to see about getting
up an exhibit for it this year. Just
a little energy and push in the right
direction will do great deal toward ad-
vertising the resources of a county, and
if our counties ever want to exhibit any
thing the Spring Palace is the place.
There will be vast crowd pres
ent from all over the United States and
it viii be the best opportunity we
will have. What course shall we pursue
in order TO get this in proper shape?
Can't we get little OF the moss off our
backs and stir up little? Everyone would
be very proud indeed to see old Menard
fill up with 6 good class Of people.
The way to have them come is to let
them know the county is worth coming
to. Some say we would not advise any
one TO come here. Probably not, but at
the same time people are moving INTO all
our western counties and are doing
well, and why not here? Ev-
cry one here that makes a proper effort
is doing we'll enough, and we have just
as good land as any of them, and it rains
as often. Now lay aside all selfshness
and let us pull together for a good ex-
hibit at the Spring Palace this year.

Special to the Gazette.
New YORK, March 3.-A meeting of
the executive committee of the World 5
fair committee is to be held at New York
Tomorrow afternoon when, as a member
of the committee expressed it, "the OBJ
sequies will be held and the accounts
Of several subcommittee finally
passed upon. Much speculation has
been INDUCED in as to what cost the
enterprise has been, and the presentation
of the accounts Tomorrow, therefore,
will be awaited with some interest. That
money received on account of the pre-
liminsry expense fund would be
pretty well used up is generally
expected, and so far as ascertained
this explanation seems to have been well
founded. J. Edward Simmons. presi-
dent of the Fourth National bank and
treasurer of the World . fair committee,
said to-day, in reply TO the question of
an evening Post reporter, that the total
amount received by him up
to to-day on account of the
preliminary expense fund was
S4I 400. The total amount paid out by
him against that fund was, in round
figures, about S35 900. Bills were paid
by him on requisition of the chairman of
the committee. The bills are being
audited by a committee composed of Id
Simmons, Calvin S. Brice and Roswell P.
Flower. Mr.. Simmons related that
several more bills which had been accu-
INFLATED while he was down South Che
only returned on Saturday, would be
paid to-day and the exact total disburse-
ment, therefore, would not be known
until Tomorrow, when he proposed to
submit his accounts to the executive
committee. Secretary OF the general
and executive committee, William Mc-
Speer, said that the total expense
of those COMMITTEES would probably ag-
gregate between ten and twelve thousand
dollars. He was at work on accounts to-
day and the exact amount would be
known to- morrow. He stated that the
amount of work and number of docu-
ments, etc. sent out, would be pre-
sented to the executive committee.
