BRIDGET0N, N j., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER TO- 1891

| Barber, stated that the young man
asserted his innocence, but would not
| go on the stand, and therefore there
| wasIno evidence to offer for the de-
| fence.
Prosecutor Logue then began the
task of showing the guilt Of Lydia
Kennels charged with adultery. Law
yer Ware defended the woman who
has been a prominent figure in the
police and Justices courts.
John Kennels was called and said he
was Lydia's husband, they having
been married by the late Rev. Atwood
In 1855. He aud his wife bad been
separated at different time. When
his wife was arrested she was not liv-
ing with her husband, she having left
with Hider. When Kennels lived on
Cohansey street Chalkley Hider had
been intimate with his wife, and also
with acabin boat where he endeavored
to live with his wife, On the 10th of
August Hider and his wife went to-
gether, and at night Kennels went to
the house which Hider had rented,
where they were living. Mrs Kennels
told her husband she WAS going to
live with Hider. The next night the
husband saw them together in Harris
Grove.
Mr.. Ware began cross-examination
with the question.
John, do you love your wife %
Then followed an attempt to prove
that the husband was q brute and
that Lydia was obliged to leave him
and Chalkiey took her out of sym.
pathy, merely to protect the woman.
Kennels further said that there was
but one bed in the house where Hider
and Kennels lived. The boat was
taken from his house by the wife.
Afterward Lydia's mother came there
with another bed
Mrs. Eliza Beebe, the aged grand
mother Of Mrs. Kennels said she lived
on Pine street. Mrs. Kennels and
Hider We're there a great dealat night
He sometimes would stay all night.
There was only one bed besides the
grandmother's in the house. Mrs.
Beebe said she slept alone. Mrs.
Beebe said Lydia did the buying anG
paid the rent, but sac did not know
where she got the money.
| The defense opened and Lydia went
on the stand to tell her tale of woe.
She admitted being married to Rem
nels. She said the reason she left
John was because he continually
abused her, assaulting her and never
supporting her or her child
She said that Chalkley Hider rented
the house and was to pay $3.50 per
week for board. She took him be-
cause he was willing to look after her
aged mother. Some times Chalkley
slept in the house. Mrs. Kennels says
she slept with her mother and her
baby. She had never acted improper
relations with Hider.
Mrs Kennels was not able to give
very satisfactory answers to the
Prosecutors cross-examination.
After the evidence for the defense in
the Kennels case was all in, the follow
| ing verdicts and sentences were rem
dered:
! Lydia Kennels, not guilty.
VIM. Barber, guilty, so days in
county Jail.
Thos. Simmons, guilty, months in
county Jail.

ANOTHER ENGLISH MUTINY.

The astonishing tale of the mutiny at Al
dershot imposes heavy tax upon credullty'
It seems almost incredible that soldiers in one
of the crack English regiments should have been
concerned in a murderOus plot against petty
officer That a corporal should have made him
self offensive to the rank and file by his over
bearing conduct is highly probable. The minor
officers i'm that army are notorious for being rigid
disciplinarians and having bullying manners
Int when there is an engagement in the field OF
urgent need Of sharp service, their influence over
the men is always excellent. There are prob
ably no other military officers who cause as much
i-feeling and resentment in barracks and on
the parade ground in time of peace, and who get
as good work out of the men when it is needed
as these bullying English martinets. We shall
await an official investigation, however before
beiuo convinced that English soldiers could have
been guilty of deliberate attempt to hang a
corporal at Aldershot.
This fresh outbreak in the British Army
whether the details are exaggerated or not, indl-
Gates a renewal of dangerous feeling OF dis
content against the service Within the last
two wears there have been so many evidences
of insubordipation even among the finest regi-
mcnts that the subject of military reOrganiza-
ton is becoming one of anxious solicitude among
English Legislators. Apparently there is either
| lamentable decline in the morale and discipline
of the army, or else there is something radically
wrong in the regulations and conditions OF SER
vice. The political platforms Of the opposing
parties have not dealt with the question of mil
tary reorganization but no Administration
either before or after the general elections, can
afford to shrk the responsibility of restoring the
discipline and efficiency of the army.

wear. a decrease Of 85,755, 600, but at New.
York alone the decrease was S6,s5o,ooo. Last
year the imports at this point were ex.rao,ui-
naly large during the first week OF oc'ooel, p.'
cause the new tariff was about to 90 into erect
but it appears that imports elsewhere have peeh
rather larger this year than last, mainly $2S,-
es7 1875, against ssa47o,150. 1t is worth
noticing that the imports after the first week
Of October do not appear to have decreased
elsewhere, as they did at New York or as tney
have decreased during the month OF November.
In the settlement of trade balances for the
month of October gold was imported to the
amount of S16,Oss,s02 in excess Of exports
but the net exports of silver were ssO1,4 so
that the net imports Of specie were only slo',
$4,000. Probably the balance was seotied
mainly if not wholly by the shipment OF securities
10 this country because the more recent course
of foreign exchange does not indicate that I'M
usually large balances due by Europe to this
country now remain unpaid

UNEOUALLED EXPORTS.

October reports the largest exports ever known
in any month, S1O2, 933,296, and never before
in any month has the amount exceeded $780,
100000 Several times it has closely ap-
preached that mark particularly in October and
December OF last year. But it has never been
reached, even when the shipments OF cotton,
usually the largest part of exports at this sea-
son. were exceptionally swelled by a corner and
high prices in Europe 1t is one Of the remark
able features of this years October statement
that the exports of cotton, provisions and oil
were smaller in value than in the same month
last wear. while in breadstuffs only, and in the
aggregate of minor exports, an increase is seen.
In cotton the decrease was q, 900 900 pounds
in quantity and S7,49S,7S1 in value the aver
age export price having fallen from 1O.1 cents
ner pound last year to SO cents this year In
provisions there was decrease of -, 429, S53,
and in petroleum decrease of S2,17S,747,
though the decrease in quantity was only about
a quarter, from SO,O0O,O00 to 10000, 900 gal
Ions. for the average price fell from IA cents
last year to Ga cents per gallon. But in bread
stuffs the increase in value was no less than
SI6.12O,O9s, in part because of S1,70O, 900
worth Of rye sent abroad, in part because the
increase Ill eXpOTs vi Noiu WAC % ,OOV, Out
mainly because the quantity of wheat exported
from Atlantic ports alone was 1O,507,S BUSH
els, against Gal, $50 last year. The speculative
craze last year put the price of wheat so high
that exports were practically stopped, and the
country lost many millions thereby.
This years unprecedented exports in October
are therefore due mainly to the enormous ship
mens OF grain, but it is also noteworthy that the
minor exports, not included in the classes above
named, increased from 1913, 436, 1862 last year to
S24,347, O5s this year. A considerable increase
in the minor exports is always an encouraging
sign, but in this case it is especially satisfactory
because OF the decrease in all the larger classes
excepting breadstuffs 1t means that the de-
mand for great variety of products is on the
whole better than hitherto, though perhaps the
increase in the separate items may be relatively
unimportani.
The imports for the month Of October were
oply S66,795,33o. against $72,650.27s last

THE HUB or THE EMPIRE.

Signs are not wanting to indicate that many
of the British colonies on the American Con-
tinent are convinced that the Imperial connec-
tion is a serious disadvantage. Newfoundland is
one of the oldest of these dependencies, and its
material interests are bound up with the Ameri-
can market. Hampsred by the antiquated treaty
engagements between France and England, 1t
has been unable to obtain full control over It's
territory and its fisheries. Turning to the United
States for assistance in securing the develop-
ment OF its natural resources, 1t received aoVan-
tageous proposals for Reciprocity Treaty.
Canada vehemently protested on the ground that
the treaty would establish determinations against
IFS own fishermen in favor Of American rivals.
The Imperial authorities, acting in the interest
of the Dominion, interpOsed veto upon the
proposed arrangements. The Newfoundland
Government ascertanng that Canadians were
neutralizing the effect Of its recent act for the
protection of the islands fisheries by selling bait
TO the French at st. Pierre, decided to enforce
the law against the Dominion. 1t prohibited the
sale of frozen herring to all foreigners Canadians
included The Dominion again appealed to
England, and the Bait Act was pronounced I'M
constitutional by the Imperial authorities.
Apparently, Newfoundland after having been
denied the privilege of making a treaty with
the United States, is to be dragged into trade
relations with Canada, which it considers op-
posed to its interests. The Dominion controls
English policy, and when its own interests are
menaced contrives TO secure vetoes and to dc
tate terms to other English dependencies. The
same influence may be exerted to prevent the
negotiation OF sugar treaties between the British
| West Indies and the United States. The sugar
islands desire TO have their produce admitted
| into the American market on terms OF equality
| with exports from the Spanish West Indies. With
| discrimination against their sugar, coffee and
hides they will be exposed to ruinOus competi-
| tiOn The United States will gladly make
treaties with them on terms equitable as those
| embodied in the agreement with Spain. Can
| ada, after vainly endeavoring for a year to OBJ
tain preferential conditions Of trade in that quar-
| ter, may appeal to the Imperial authorities to
veto q measure of commercial union from which
it is excluded. If its arguments prevail Eng
land will sacrifice the interests of its West Indian
possessions for the good of Canada precisely as
II has done in the case of Newfoundland
Whether it is safe for England to transfer the
centre OF the Imperial connection from London
to Ottawa is point which is hardly debatable.
Colonies may be willing to make sacrifices for
