Four of Jersey City's Corruptors Sent Up
 for Eighteen Months.
 JERSEY CITY, July S.-There was a large crowd of politicians and others present at the Hudson county court house to listen to the sentence of the four Jersey City cleo tion officers, Thomas Fallon, James Hart, Jacob Moschell and James Derancey, who were found guilty last Monday for con- spiracy to pervert the election laws in last falls election. The prisoners were called to the bar and were sentenced by Judge Lippincott to eighteen months each in the state prison and to pay the costs of court. The court declined to accede to the recommendation of the jury for mercy on behalf of Derancey, the Republican mem Der of the board, on the ground that he was equally guilty with the others and had be- trayed the trust imposed upon him by the party he represented The accused were then conducted to the county jail
 It is understood that application will be made at once for writ of habeas corpus, and that an appeal will be made to the higher courts, and that the prisoners will be admitted to bail pending the proceed ings. These are the first four of the big batch of sixty-eight indicted for conspiracy.

LITERARY NOTES.

Wealth and Progress" is an exhaus. tive discussion of the wages question. It is philosophic in scope, historic in method, and reformatory in purpose It may properly be regarded as the first application of the doctrine of evolution to the labor question. Unlike most books upon the subject, it is entirely in harmony with the spirit and tenden- cy of modern society. Its merit has already been recognized by prominent economists, journalists, businessmen, and representative workingmen both in America and Europe. It is published in cloth at one dollar. but is now issued in paper cover, for 50 cents, at the request of friends interested in the spreading of Mir Gunton's economic philosophy. They see that the next great issue in this country will be the wages question, and especially the hours of labor, upon which subject it is safe to say "Wealth and Progress throws more light and contains more data than are to be found in any other book.

and civil governor of the territory, war having broken out between the United States and Mexico. In 1847 he concluded articles of equalization, which terminated the war, leaving the country in possession of the United States. About this time Gen. Kearny arrived from the west. Fremont was under command of Com mander Stockton and Kearny required him to disobey his orders. He declined to do so until the government directed Stockton to relinquish command to Kearny.
 His Trouble with Kearny.
 Fremont then gave his allegiance to the latter, but was treated disres2ectfully, and when the party reached Fort I.eavenworth was arrested and sent to Washington 8 prisoner, to be tried for mutiny. He was found guilty and sentenced to be dismissed.
 President Polk refused to confirm the verdict and remitted the penalty, but Ere mont resigned. He settled in California, and in 1e49 he was appointed commissioner to run a boundary line between the United States and Mexico In the same veal the California legislature appointed him one of it's two senators. He resigned as com missioner and took his seat in the senate in 1851. The session lasted three weeks, and Fremont introduced t4enty bills for the benefit of his state. In the state cleo tion of 1851 Fremont was beaten after 142 ballotings because he was one of the lead CTS of the party which had opposed the introduction of slavery.
 In 1852 he went to Europe, where he was received with distinction. In 1858 he re- turned to this country, starting with an- other expedition to survey three routes from the Mississippi to the Pacific He reached California safely after awful hard ships, and in 1855 he and his family went to New York to live.
 Nominated for the Presidency.
 About this time he was mentioned for the presidency, and at Republican con- vention in Philadelphia was nominated After hot contest, however, he was beat en by Mr. Buchanan. After the breaking out of the war he was made major gen eral, and assigned to the command of the western district. On Aug. 31, 1861, he issued an order emancipating the slaves in his district. This did not please the -presi- dent, and in November he was relieved from his command
 Three months later he was appointed commander of mountain forces in Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee. In 1889 he fought at the battle of Cross Keys, but when Gen. Pope was placed in command of the army in Virginia he resigned, and his resignation was accepted. In 1884, a convention of Republicans, dissatisfied with MT. Lincoln, nominated him for president. He accepted it, but withdyew in September of that year from public affairs.
 It was but few weeks ago that congress passed bill placing Fremont on the re tired list with the rank of major general.

When the bill passed, the vote being strict party vote, except that Mr. Payne voted with the Republicans and Messrs Edmunds and Plumb with the Democrats against it, an amendment was adopted to this bill providing that no vessel shall be entitled to payment under the act that makes any discrimination be- tween or gives unequal facilities to com petitive transportation lines in the receiv ing or forwarding of freights or baggage at any American port or at any foreign port.
 The postal subsidy bill authorizes the postmaster general to enter into contracts for term of not less than five nor more than ten years in duration with American citizens for the carrying of mails on Amer ican steamships between ports in the Unit eu oGaCeS anu sucn porCS III IoielSH couu- tries, the Dominion of Canada excepted, as in his judgment will best subserve and promote the postal and commercial inter ests of the United States.

The vessels are to be American built steamships, owned and officered by American citizens, in conform ity to the existing laws.

Howard if he was going out to the rescue he replied that he was not going to run his boat away from the shore until the indica- tions of another approaching storm had disappeared. He also said that he did not propose to run the risk of losing his boat in order to look for dead people out on the lake.
 Citizens of Lake City who heard Capt Towards remarks were most severe in their denunciation of the position he as stunned in the face of the statements made to him that every minute might mean the saving of half dozen lives Many talked of taking the boat away from him by force, but there were not enough to put the plan into execution, and other means of rescue were resorted to.
 A Large List of the Killed.
 In few minutes dozen or more row boats were manned and put out from the shore. The upturned boat was at last dis covered, the twenty or more remaining people clinging to the boat were rescued and brought to the shore, most of them be- ing unable to swim.
 Among those who are known to have been on board of the steamer and who are undoubtedly drowned are: Two children of c. H. Roeder, Peter Corken, his wife, five children and hired girl; Fred Sherff, wife and daughter; Mrs. Capt Withern and two children; F. Christ, William Blake and family of three, Mrs. Tempt ling and daughter, Gus Beckmark, Miss Flynn, Rose Adams, Ira Fulton.
 At Least 15O Drowned.
 A full list of the 15O passengers which are pretty certain to have been drowned is not obtainable at this writing. A large majority of them were women and chill dren, those being saved being nearly all strong men who were able to swim and cling to the boat after it had capsized.
 On the return from the capsized boat with three or four people who had been rescued, one of the rowboats encountered two floating bodies, each with life pre- server attached to them.
 Later: Fifty-nine bodies have been found oDa laid o,,t

STANLEY A BENEDICT.

The Famous Explorers Marriage to Miss
 Dorothy Tennant.
 LONDON, July 12.-For time it was feared that the marriage of Explorer Stan ley and Miss Dorothy Tennant, appointed f rjtoday, could not take place on account of MT. Stanley's illness, but the fears happily proved to be without foundation. Surgeon Parke pronounced the trouble the same that attacked MT. Stanley in Africa. It is of an obstinate character and yields very slowly to treatment. Friday the ex- plorer suffered-intensep pain and sought re- lief in enforced sleep.
 This morning he was somewhat better, and although he was still weak and in con- siderable pain he was determined to have the ceremony performed at the appointed time At noon the hero of Africa and the talented woman of his choice were married at Westminster Abbey in the presence of 8 distinguished throng. The church was crowded with notables, and hundreds of people thronged the vicinity to catch a glimpse of the couple.
 The presents received by the distin- guished couple were numerous, rare and expensive. Queen Victoria sent a minia- ture likeness of herself set in diamonds Accompanying the gift was an autograph letter highly eulogistic of MT. Stanley's services in the field of exploration and wishing the explorer a happy welded life. The Prince of Wales was represented by 8 large family Bible, very handsomely made, than which nothing could be more pleas ingto the explorer, or could more strongly demonstrate the princess tact and taste.
 Col. Gouraud sent photograph of won derful construction. It was present at the wedding and consequently will be able to repeat the welcome of the bells, the swell ing notes of the organ, the voices of the choir, the language of the marriage con tract and the names of the signers thereto Another curious gift is a geographical watch which tells the time in number of the large cities of the world at the same moment The men who were with him in Africa on his last great journey also ex- hibited their love and admiration in gifts
