The first issue OF adhesive postage
stamps used by the government APP
peared In 1851, and consisted OF two
denominations, "A five-cent stamp bear
ing the face OF Franklin, whose zeal
and ability laid the fou ndation OF our
postal system. and a ten-cent stamp
with the head OF Washington upon II.
Not long after a second series OF five
denominations was issued. The one
cent stamp pore Franklin's image. the
three Washington's. the five Jeffer-
sons, and the ten and twelve "A varied
picture OF Washington.
In 1857 the series was increased
by the issue of a twenty-four. ~
thirty. and "a ~ninety-ccnt stamp, and
OF these. two different portraits OF
Washington monopolized the twenty
four and ninety, while n second view
OF Franklin filled the frame OF the
thirty.
The third issue appeared In 1861.
Washington still appearing on five
OF the denominations. franklin on
two, and Jefferson on one.
In 1868 the FIRST two-cent stamp was
printed. 1t was black and bore the
face OF jackson very conspicuously
placed
In 1866 the f~fteen-cent stamp was
introduced for foreign postage. and
had placed upon 1t the portrait OF
Lincoln
These remained In use without
change until 1870. when Il series OF
ten square samps OF various designs
appeared. three OF them portraits
The one-cent stamp was still reserved
for Franklin. Washington vas placed
on the ~six-cent and Lincoln ON the
ninety-cent.
The other designs we're fanciful
and unpopular, and a new issue was
brought out "a month later. In this,
FRANKLIN Is on the %one-cent. jackson
on the two. Washington on the three.
Lincoln on the six. Jefferson on the
ten, Clay Un the twelve. Webster on
the fifteen, Scott on the twenty-four.
Hamilton on the thirty and Commo-
dore O. ii. Perry on the ninety. The
seven was later given To Stanton and
the five To Garfield.
La 1883 the rate OF postage for let
ters was reduced from tnrcs To two
cents. The color OF the stamp was
metallic red, and the portrait OF Wash
ington was placed upon 1t.
Thus 10 will be seen that from the
first the denomination in commonest
use has borne the head OF Washing
ton.

GRUBER AND ALTEMUS
Victims of a Sudden Decline in the
Price of Eggs.

Henry Gruber. the Jeffersonian candi-
date for member of Assembly in the
Fourth district, was given the warmest
reception of his life last night. His
greeting was the spontaneous act of large
number of good voters in the district. Mr..
Gruber early in the evening procured
holse and cart with the intention of driv-
ing through the district and
deliv ering speeches from the cart.
He had with him that
eminent writer OF dime novels with blood
curdliug plots, j. Il. Altenlus, who was
arrested for perjury several months ago.
Whether it was the dislike TO Gruber, or
the contempt for Altemus that irritated
the crowd Is not known but as soon as
citizens at the corner of Steuben and
Henderson streets he and AL
come me such as Aa not even e she
renowned James Owen O'Conor ever

from the crowd to the cart, and two
sweeter scented campaign orators than
Gruber and Altemus became would be
hard TO discover anywhere. The eggs
were accompanied by q generous allow
ance OF bricks, stones and sticks.
When one of the most ancient eggs
struck Gruber back of the ear and
trickled down his back he hastily said
mus, true to his dime novel in
stincts. drew a revolver and
with firm and determined
manner jumped from the cart and ske-
daddled for safety as fast as his trembling
knees permitted. He was stopped by
policeman who took him to Police Head
quarters. Superintendent Smith paroled

ness tact he has succeeded In establish
ing himself in the real estate business,
in which he has met with remarkable
success. Mr.. Tumilty was born in County
Cavan, Ireland, july 10, 1859. He re-
ceived common school education. and
when fifteen years of age left the Emer-
aid Isle at the earnest solicitation of his
cousin, Philip Tumilty. now Superin-
tendent Of ttreets, aud came to this
country. Philip Iumiltv was at that
time engaged in the cigar business on
Newark avenue, near Grove street.
Jimmy" entered the store as a clerk
and soon demonstrated the fact that he
possessed remarkable business tact. He
remained in this business for three years.
but was compelled, owing TO falling
bealth, to seek outdoor employment and
exercise.
Not being afraid of work he became a
truck driver under Miles freeman, and
In this capacity earned every cent he re-
ceived by the sweat of his brow. He per-
formed his duties satisfactorily, and at
the end Of a year decided to go iuto busi-
ness for himself. He invested his hard
earned savings in periodicals of every
Newark avenue and First street. For
eight years he continued in this business
and by his jolly and open hearted man
ner ana careful attention built up a
prosperous business and made large
circle of friends
He finally abandoned the business,
however, and entered the real estate Office
OF ex-Finance Commissioner Joseph
Warren. BY strict attention to business
he was advanced rapidly and was finally
appointed to the position of collector,
which in that office was one of trust, as
Thousand of dollars were handled by him
daily. For ten years he retained his
position as collector, a1d finally opened
an office of his own. For two years he
has been established at No. 1876 Newark
avenue.
This is the brief history Of the candi-
date who appeals to the masses for sup
port. He knows their wants and will
work in the Legislature for their inter-
ests. Let the voters of the Third district
turn out and give him a rousfng majority.

the construction of county road eman-
ated from him. Will not this improve
the value of property ? A demons tration
of his loyalty to the workiugman is the
fact that one of his bills was one of the
few passed last winter by the Assembly.
Mr.. Moylan, finding that laborers enl-
ployed on city improvements were not
protected. that their wages wereHnot Sc
cured for them, presented and succeeded
in having passed the new law which gives
laboIers or mechanics the right to attach
all moneys due to the contractor for
whom they work In case of nonpayment
That is sufficient proof that he repre-
sents the rights of the wageearner. An
other of his bills gives Police Boards the
power to retire Chiefs of Police on half
pay after having done twenty ye RS SER
vice. Another bill presented by him was
the Semi Monthly Payment bill. The ac-
tions of Mr.. MoyIan from the time he was
sixteen years old up 10 the present, are
worthy of commendation. Give him yonr
votes. residents of the Eighth district.
and you will find Mr.. Moylan a man
worthy of your confldence-one who will
be alive to your best interests.

HUDSON KNOCKED OUR.
Lehigh Valley Wins the
First Battle Over the
Road.
RIGHTS THAT ARE In DOUBT.
Counsel McGrath Obtains a Gers
tiorari in Regard to the
Bayonne Ordinance.
FIGHTS THAT ARE In DOUBT.

Chancellor McGill in lengthy decision
recting the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company to show cause why it should
not be restrained from changing
the grade of Avenue A, Bayounes
which the county proposes to uss ~
part of the new County road. The Chan
cellor reviewed the history Of
the case and dwelt upon the
two ordinances which the Bayonne
Council passed, giving the Railroad Conn
pany permission to change the grades Of
the avenue. He referred to the terms Of the
contract, whereby the company agreed to
pave the avenue and build an orna-
mental bridge over it with a distance Of
100 feet between its piers. He said from
the evidence it appeared that the Common
Council of Bayonne had not exceeded its
authority in making such a contract and
passing the ordinances under which the
contract was made.
Under these ordinances the company
had expended about $14. 600, which IL had
paid the owners for property taken. The
county must show that it would sustain
greater injury IL the work went on than
the company would If the work was dls+
continued.
The rule was that the Court OF Chan
Gerry would not issue an Injunction where
the right of the party applying for the In
junction is in doubt or It cannot show
that the injury which 1t seeks to
avert is irreparable. From the circu M
stances of the case the injury did not
seem frreparabla and the right OF the
county was in doubt.
The county claimed that when It fled
its map of the route of the County road
it, under the law, acquired control Of the
route.
This proposition, the Chancellor said,
involved construction OF the law. In.
asmuon as the law itself declared
that the county should not enter
upon property until 1t was paid for he
concluded that that proposition of the
county could not be maintained.
While the Chancellor was reading his
decision. Judge McGrath was before
Judge Knapp applying for certiorari to-
remove the proceedings Of the Bayonne
council In the matter to the Supreme
Court for review. After listening to the
Judges statement of the case Justice
Knapp allowed the writ upon condition
that 1t be argued at the November term
of the court.
