CONVICT HALLS GOOD LUCK.
Yesterday a Prisoner; To-Day a Clerk
In His Former Prison.
ffrrcrAL TO rHE EVENING WORLD.

TRENTON, n. j., July I5.--william \. Hail,
who was yesterday "A convict In the State
Prison here, is to-day Tree man and the Oc-
Cupant OF a Fl 200 clerkship IN the prison In
which for nearly ten years he has been con-
flned.
The pardon OF William A., better known as
"oakey" Hall, and his appointment to a re-
sponsible position In the prison, marks the
close OF an interesting chapter In the munich
pal history OF Newark.
Ten years ago Hall was Chief Clerk In the
Newark Comptroller's oflce. Frederick A.
Palmer was Auditor, and he was stealing by
the thousands. Palmer kept at his thieving
until 1t amounted to nearly 100000.
81 found out that he was helping himself,
said Hall, afterwards, land thought Id do
the same. Itook $50,
Fielder was Mayor or Newark then. He
suspected that all was not right IN the city
Hall ana sent n message to the Common
Council urging an Investigation.
The Mayor, a Democrat, was Hereby as
sailed by the Republicans Tor his in9inuHtiOn,
the city officials being Of the Republican
faith. The Outcry scared Auditor Palmer,
and before any active steps were taken he
startled the community by cOnfessing.
Palmer was sent JO state Prison and died
here.
Hall fed to Canada, but was captured, and
after a long legal struggle was eXtradltcd,
tried on the charge OF CmDc22ing funds from
the COmptroller's onicc, convicted and SEN
fenced 10 twelve years Imprisonment.
He never told what he did with his stolen
money, nor did Palmer, and neither was re-
KardCd as cXtTaVagant.
Hall took his Imprisonment philosophical.
and became well fixed IN the Institution. II
f. said that the tiCku'-uf-ledvc law was first
agtuted for his bcnent,
When the Court Of PardOns met yesterday )
afternoon in the Governors quarters at the
state Camp Sea Girt, the prison authDritin1
recommended that pardon he granted Hail,
whose term, less COmmutation for good be-
hRViOr, was within three months OF cNpira-
tiOn.
The pardon was further urged on tho
ground that Hall had saved the state $4,000
during the past eight years by PERFORMING
certain clerical duties. As soon aS the pardon
was granted r. was announced that Han had
been appointed TO Il $1,000 clerkship In thn
State prison.

intilagtes,

In his younger days they were full and
luxuriant and OF sunshiny amber tint.
Latterly, however, they have thinned out
considerably, and wherever the natural color
was visible 1t was seen that they had dingy
white shade.
"Uncle Russ" has employed every means
20 conceal this Indication OF advancing years,
ana all the ingenuity OF the dyers' art has
been expended in giving rich, dark lustre TO
the struggling hairs.
Sometimes the artist has been more sue
cesstul than ut others, but II may be stated
in q general way that In the last score Of
years " nCle RusSs" beard has assumed at
intervals every known shade OF color, from u
royal purple to a Jet black.
Mr.. Sage resents any inquiry as to the rea-
son for shaving OFF his whiskers, but simply
says that he thinks he looks better as he Is
now. The change certainly makes him look
twenty years younger, and II Is whispered
among his friends that he has some deep ui-
terror design, which Will appear later on.
He can certainly make considerable saw
ing on chemicals and dycstufrs, for he was
never known TO let barber shave even his
upper lip, and, In view OF his well-known
habits OF trugality, this may furnish sur
icient motive for the sacrifice OF this object
OF lOng-cOntinued solicltude.
At the same time he will be relieved Of
much anxiety OF mind, and during the heated
term which has Just set in, Will undoubtedly
experience much comfort ana personal salts
faction from the change.
Noting the Improvement which the razor
has wrought In the appearance OF his old
friend and associate, II is whispered that Mr.
Gould may follow Uncle Russells example
and come out as n rival OF his son George In
youthful and manly beauty.

Even HIS Oldest and most intimate friends
failed TO recognize hin at first, and It was
only when they heard the familiar sound Of
his voice, with It's high-ritchcd down East
twang, tnot they were convinced that It was
really Russell In the 2esh
MIR. Sage himself wnS much put out and an.
nOyed at the attention which hts changed ap.
pclrance excited.
The truth Is that Uncle Russ " and his
whiskers have been inseparaDly associated
Tor the last nfty years in the minds Of the
public, and to picture either one without the
other requires an effort of the Imagination
that very fcw who are familiar with his ap-
pearancc are capable OF.
Nobody has ever accused Mi. Sage of per-
sonal vanity, except In connection with his
whisEers. They have been his pride for years,
and the amount OF care and nursing that he
has bestowed upon them is well known to his
intip9tes.

LEARY'S BIGGEST RAFT.

Safely Docked in the Builders Basin,
Newton Creek.
Raftbuilder James u. Leary has proved the
correctness Of mis- judgment by safely landing
another OF his monster RATS In LeaTy's Basin
Newtown Creek.
The raft, which was docked last night, was
built In sixteen sections, each section being
80 feet long, 40 feet wide and 10 feet deep.
II contains about 10000 sticks OF timber, eS-
timated to be worth about s5 a stick.
The raft left st, John, n. b., June 2S, in
tow Of the tugs ocean King and Edgar r.
LuCkenbaCh. When stretched out on the
ocean the tow was 1000 feet long. on

storm, but was recovered.
II was almost high tide when the tow came
through Hell Gate last evening IN three sec
tiOnS, accompanied by fleet Of small tugb,
which acted as rudders.
