Among them YVES tali. distinguished
looking young nan, who appeared to be
laboring under great excitement. He
paced nervously up and down and NUT
tered incoherently. Suddenly, when the
boat was in midstream, he forced his way
through the crowd and started to climb
over the iron gates.
Several women screamed and one

pied with Closch and threw him, falling
on top of him. Closch did not release his
hold, however, and together they rolled
toward the edge of the boat.
The pilot noticed the unusual commo-
tion in front and signalled to to the en-
gineer to stop. Several deckhands hur-
rried to Closch's assistance. The would

one would go overheard.
Finally one of the passengers, special

stunning him. Then he was taken Into
the engine room and held until the boat
reached the slip. when he was marched

MORAL CAMDEN.
What Judge Garrison Thinks of the
Republican Stronghold.


CAMDEN, Oct. IA. 1s9l.-Judge Garrison.
in opening the Camden County Courts
yesterday. gave the Grand Jury some
thing to think about. AS a picture Of
morals in an acknowledged stronghold OF
the g. Q. p, which claims to monopolize
all the goodness In the State, Judge Gar
rison's charge Is certainly remarkable.
IF the tongue of common report has
any truth in it," he said: there are in
this county places where the Jaw in re-
gard to the keeping of disorderly houses
aud the selling of intoxicating liquor is
openly, constantly and fiagrantlv violated
under conditions of almost incredible inn
morality. where npon Sundays and week.
DAYS liquor is sold to minors and to In
toxicated persons of both sexes, where
outcasts and prohigates rendezvous In
drunken orgies, where young girls are
publicly piled with drink and lured to
their ruin, where disgraceful brawls are
Of hourly occurrence, and where even the
taking of human life is no rare thing. Ii
but a small part of what is thus rumored
be true, we are maintaining In this county
q pest-hoIe without parallel upon this
Continent. Whether it be true or not is
for YOU to determine.
1.-THE responsibility is great one-in
some of Its aspects, q fearful one. What
man among you would not be bowed by
remorse to have laid at his door tithe OF
the evils that flow from the unmolested
opportunity for debauchery and crime.
And yet at your door they will lie. and
justly and doubly SO. il instead of ferret
ting out and presenting the evil doers for
trial and condign punishment. if guilty.
you choose rather not only to stand be-
tween the law breaker and the law. but
between iniquity and the possibility OF
its investigation.
Judge Garrison furnished to the Grand
Jury verbatim report of the charge II
order that they might study its contents
at their leisure.

Special to the Jersey Citv Ne,us.
OCEAN CITY, Oct. IA. 1S91.-The report
that dead whale. seventy feet long, had
been thrown upon the beach. near here,
published in THE NEWS several days ago,
was received with doubt by the scientific
world, but Prof. Heilprin, Curator of the
Academy of Natural Sciences, came here
yesterday and was convinced. He found
what he regards as veriCable monster OF
the deep.
| Actual measurement shows the whale
to be sixty-eight feet in length, from the
| tip of the nose to the tip of the under
| fuke. This Is thirty-hve feet larger than
| the skeleton now in the Academy OF Nat
ural Sciences.
| This whale belongs to what is known
as the fiu-back species, and is not highly
! priced by whalers as they yield cUmpara-
lively little oil. Their skeletons, how
| lections. The monster now at Ocean
| City lies on his back just at low water
| mark. and Is half embedded in the sand.
His head is completely hidden now. but
was uncovered when the measurements
were made.
There is only one species of whale that
attains greater length than the fin
backs, one specimen being killed that
| measured eighty-nine feet. The white
whale never exceeds fifty or fifty-five
| feet in length and the fin-back never
grows to u greater length than seventy
feet. Consequently, the specimen secured
by Professor Heilprtn is within two feet
as long as the biggest one ever caught.
The length of his fipper is eight feet two
inches and it's width is twenty-five
| inches.
His head is sixteen feet ten inches long,
his jaw is thirteen and half feet wide,
and the expansion Of his fiukes is four
teen feet eleven inches. A popularity of
the fin-back is that his skin is corrugated
