Strange Revelations at the Trial of {
Gang OF Crooks.

Strange Revelations at the Trial of q
Gang OF Crooks.
A combination of low morals such as
seldom gathers even within the walls of
the Court of Sessions was revealed there
this morning before Judges Lippincott
and Paxton. The parties to the combina-
tion were Stephen Mccormack, charged
with having burglars tools IN his posses
sion, with receiving stolen goods and
keeping q disorderly house; his alleged
wife, Emma Mccormack, charged with
keeping a disorderly house; Jeremiah
Lyons and Sarah Gilday for living as hus-
band and wife without being married,
aud Jennie O'Neil, the alleged wife of an
alleged crook"
This deprayed crowd were arrested at
No. So Madison street, Hoboken. The de-
tails of the trial are unfit for the columns
of THE JERSEY CITY NEWS, but were
such as to prove the gang TO be all that
was charged against them.
The alleged Mrs. O'Neil testified as a
witness for the state as TO the character
of the inmates of the house, and said that
the gang had left New York because
the police. She thought Mccormack was
wanted too. She said that the two jim
mics that the police found at McCor-
mack's house she had seen Mccormack
take from his pocket in New York after
one Of his excursions
When Mccormack aud O'Neil aud
Lyons and Mrs. Mccormack wanted to
talk business they ALWAYS sent her from
the house for beer or whiskey. She be-
lieved they were all thieves. A robe and
two kouse blankets that had been stolen
were found in the house by the police.
Mrs. O'Neil said she was about eighteen
years old, that her maiden name was
Vandevar, and she was arrested two
years ago charged with being an inmate
in disorderly house kept by her mot her
in Jersey City.
The accused persons were all conv icted
of the offenses charged.

II SO, Whore Do These Litigants Get
Their Standing in Court?
A peculiar case came up before Judge
McGrath in the Second District Court this
morning. 1t was brought by Gustave
Hauser, a ahotelkeeper Of Hoboken, against
Maurice Marcus. butcher and restau-
rant keeper of the same classic town. The
suit was to recover s25 lost by Hauser in
a wager.
the facts as agreed to by both parties
were these:-On February % Marcus en-
tered Hauser's store and said, "Mr.
Hauser, why do you talk about me, and
say you can buy meat as cheaply as
can because you pay cash"
Huaser denied the charge, and offered
to bet 500 to 81 that Marcus could not
prove it. Marcus laid one dollar bill on
the counter as an earnest, but Hauser
said he did not have 500; but offered TO
bet S25 even. that he did not say the
words attributed 10 him. The winner to
be Marcus if ne could produce any re-
putable citizen who had heard Hauser
say anything about Marcus.
The money was put into the hands OF
James Ryan and Marcus went out to
search for his informant. He returned
shortly with Mr.. Knipp, who was willing
to state that Hauser had made the dis
puIed statement.
Hauser refused to consider knlpp as an
honest man as he had had previous dis
pute with Knlpp, whom he formerly em-
ployed. After this, accounts differ as to
the proceedings. Hauser swore that
Marcus took the money and Marcus
swears that Ryan gave him the money.
Both agree that Marcus went out OF the
store with the $50. Hauser then called
Knipp a yermin infested Russian
and eseorting him TO the threshold
Of the store kicked him out.
He then pursued Marcus down the street,
and after referring to his ancestry and
himself in a very unpleasant strain of
imagery he returned TO his store and
threatened the obliging stakeholder with
suit. This morning Maurice and Hauser
each told his version of the affair, and
Judge McGrath reserved his decison.

NEW IDEA IN FUEL.
a stovo In Which OIL is Burned on E
hibItfon Hero,

a stOve In Which OIL Is Burned on Ex-
hibitlon Here.
Mr.. ]. D. Cameron, who owns tho
patent right for West Virginia OF G. r.
seymour's oil.gas fuel patent, is staying
at the Stamm house. He has on exhi-
bition ut Little's plumbing establish
ment, adjoining the post office on
Market street, stove fitted up with
one OF the patent generators, using
kerosene oil for fuel The regular fuel
oil furnished bv the Standard Oil Com
pany is, however, preferable on account
of both convenience and economy, but
kerosene illustrates the system just as
we'll.
The oil is in a tank distant as con.
venient from the stove. It is fed
through small tube, and all the gas
needed to heat the stove issues from
two holes scarcely larger than rpin
holes.
Mr.. Cameron's purpose is to form a
company to manufacture the generators
here. They can be used in all sorts OF
stoves or in open crates, and glance at
the stove now on exhibition will con-
vince anybody that it is a success as q
heater, and that its use will be very
economical. Mr.. Cameron will be glad
to show it and explain its principle and
practical workings to anybody who is
interested. Ladies will find it especially
worthy OF their attention.
Some OF the capital stock has already
been subscribed. Such company
would be a decided addition to the
industries of Wheeling.

soIosIoN AND THE QUEEN.


A Colossal Biblical Spectacle led
by Join RoDIftson's WORLDS ~ ~.
The era OF Solomon, thu hr1e.iIish
King, las ever been fraughi with IN
interest that will last through all ages.
There was 80 much that was grand, SO
much that was sumptuous, SO much that
was prophetic, so much that was sacred,
SO much that was divine, attending and
consequent to his reign, that history
furnishes no parallel. Art has now
been called into reQuisition as aid to
Biblical lore, and the glamour and
glories OF the past are reproduced IN
the present. The eminent artist, Mr..
John Rettig, has devoted year or more
to personal research in Palestine, Jeru-
salem and the Holy Land, and has
studiously mastered the history and
traditions of the Bible, and returning,
has produced q grand spectacular mas
ter-piece, depicting the great temple,
the walls and city OF Jerusalem, the
visit OF the Queen OF Sheba, the iudg-
ment of Solomon, and other notable
scenes during the administration of the
great King. In connection with the
circus on the road, the largest mes
nagerie, and the Roman hippodrome,
the management OF John Robinson's
show presents this beautiful and i'm
pressiVe spectacle for the qualification
Of their patrons.
The consolidated exhibitions will be
given at Wheeling September q on the
old fair grounds.
