HEROES OF CAUCASUS.
George Kennan's Lecture About the
Hardy Mountaineers.

Those who went to the theatre of the
Jersey City Athletic Club last evening to
listen to Mr.. George Remnants lecture on
the Caucasus Mountains" were we'll
paid for their visit. For almost two hours
Mr.. Kennan conducted his hearers over
one of the most Interesting and curious
parts of the world, picturing to them the
wonders of the journey in language so
realistic that one could fancy he saw be-
fore him the scenes SO faithfully described.
His description of the Valley of Georgia,
as he viewed 1t from the summit of the
mountain. lying at his feet thousands of
feet below was most beautiful word
picture.
One of the most entertaining features
of the lecture was the description of the
dress, manners and customs of the
Mountaineers. Mr.. Kennan excused him
self at one point in his lecture and retir-
ing to the wings, he reappeared dressed in
| the native Mountaineer costume. 1t
consisted mainly of long coat of some
dark material. and a large peculiarly
shaped sheepskin cap. On the front of
the cap was sort of pouch in which MIR.
Kennan said the Mountaineers at times
carried their provisions. 1t also had a
large hood with which the face could be
| entirely enveloped to protect it from the
He next dwelt upon the arms which
| the natives always carried. He des-
| cribed them as exceedingly ornamental
and inlaid with curiously wrought figures
| in silver.and gold. The hardy Mountain
| eers were poetical race. he said, and i'm
provised war and sentimental songs with
equal facility. In speaking of the pa
| triotic bravery of these men he related an
| incident in one of the conflicts with
Russia.
The people of all the surrounding coun-
| " had surrendered to Russia except 300
patriots, who, intrenched in one of the
mountain passes, held out against $4,000
| Russians. Their rear was protected by a
sheer precipice 30 steep that it seemed to
| them inaccessible and they did not con-
slider it worth while even to watch the ap-
| proach on that side. After night the
Russian sappers cut inches in the preci-
| pice until they had a ladder made, up
which the Russian soldiers clambered
| and attacked the brave men. All were
| killed but six, when this half q dozen
| brave men drew the hoods Of their sheep
| skin caps over their faces and threw
| themselves over the precipice.

cutiOn.

"f races are run today at Guttenbure
a raid will be made" said Justice Lock
wood this morning.
For the past three days Lockwood has
been busy making out warrants. and
from a reliable source it was ascertained
that about one hundred are already in the
hands of Constable Jack Graham and his
assistants.
The prospects are that there will be a
lively time at the track this afternoon as
Manager Carr has prepared an elaborate
card, and the promised races will attract
a goodly number of sporting men. Not
only are the track officials and bookmak-
ers to be arrested, but the probabilities
are that frequenters of the track will also
be apprehended.
Justice Lockwood has established an
office outside the track, and all the men
arrested will have to give bail before him.
The constables have been directed to COM
pei the men arrested to leave the track,
and either remain under arrest or give
bail before Lockwood
LOOKING FOR TROUBLE.
This fact has become known and the
bookmakers and others who ere to be ar
rested state that under no circumstances
Will they give Dali before LOCKWOOD.
Lockwood evidently expects trouble, as the
constables have been directed to make
good use of their powers and not submit
to any resistance on the part Of persons
for whom warrants have been issued.
The raid will probably be made shortly
after the first race.
| PROSECUTOR wINFIELD'S ACTION.
District Attorney Winfield today said
| that he had notified the Grand Jury that
he would present the case of the Board OF
Control against the Gutenberg race
track officials and bookmakers to them
Tuesday. He said that thus
| far Justice Lockwood had only
| furnished him with the name of one wit
ness, John Hayes, the complainant in the
cases. Mr.. Winfield said he had asked
| Justice Lockwood to furnish him with a
| list of all the witnesses for the State, and
| he seemed surprised that Lockwood had
not complied with the request.

DISTRICT COURT JUDGES.
Only Seek Remedy for Defective
Legislation and Proper Fees.

1t is very pr obable that there will be
meeting of the Civil Court Judges OF this
State next Monday afternoon at Trenton
for tine purpose of remedying the acts
governing civil courts, now considered
very defective.
The object of the meeting is not to Sc.
cure an increase of power or widening OF
jurisdiction for Civil Court Judges, as
was at first supposed, but to secure an 1n-
crease of costs for prosecution. In cases
where judgments between 500 and S2OO
are sought, the costs amount to about
81 so In the Common Pleas or Circuit
Courts the same proceeding would cost
$50.
In New York such suits cost from sl2 to
SIS, and the Judges throughout this
State maintain that the charge of s.. 90 Is
absurd and unjust. Judge McGrath
favors cheap litigation, but claims that
S2. 50 is entirely too small for costs in civil
court suits. He claims that the costs
should be at least one half as much, at
least. as is charged in the Common Pleas
and Circuit Courts.
According to Judge McGrath the ques-
tion of increasing the power and jurisdic-
tion of Civil Court Judges has not been
seriously spoken of, except by Judge Car

MR.BLACK DOESN'T WORRY
Penny-a-Line Slanders Not Worthy
of Attention.

A New York newspaper one day
recently published sensational despatch
from Trenton in which it said the friends
about to attempt to get rid of Judge Lip
pincott. The despatch stated that bill
had been prepared which would deprive
Judge Lippincott of his criminal jurisdic-
tion by erecting new court to be known
as the Superior Court, and to have cog
nizance of the civil matters OF which
Judge Lippincott has Jurisdiction. II
Judge Lippincott should decline the
judgeship OF the new court. a new Grim
inal Court was to be erected and Judge
Lppincott was to retain his civil jurls-
dlction only.
The dispatch also stated that Charles
Black, chairman of the State Board OF
Taxation, had the bill in his pocket and
was to be made the Judge of the new
court or to be given the Judgeshlp OF the
Common Pleas, according to which posi-
tion Judge Lippincott should elect 60
take.
The article also said some narrow
minded, contemplate things about Mr..
Blacks connection with the indicted elec-
tion officers. I saw Mr.. Black this morn
in the despatch.
"None whatever, so far as it relates to
me-" declared Mr.. Black, most emphati-
cally. Il have not such bill in my
possession. have not drawn or assisted
in the drawing of any such bill. nor have
l any knowledge that such bill is in ex-
istence. Nothing has been said to me,
either directly or Indirectly about taking
any such Judgeshp. l saw the despatch
the day it was printed, but paid only
passing attention to 1t. l knew full well
that those who knew me knew that
would not lend myself to any such scheme
as that.
II cannot see what object the writer had
in speaking of me as he did in connection
with the eletion officers. as everyone
knows that / simply did my duty as 6

CONDENSED DISPATCHES.
Justice Bradley of the U. S.
Supreme Court Died This
Morning.

WASHINGTON, Jan. %, 1892. Justice
Joseph P. Bradley of the United States
Supreme Court died at 6:15 o'clock

some time. 1t was his vote on the cele-
brated Electoral Commission of 1876 that

whom the people elected President.
Justice Joseph p. Bradley was a self
made man. He was, moreover, the rich
est man on the Bench. His fortune is

College in the same class with ex-Secre-
tary of State Frelinghuysen-
He began the practice of law in New
ark, n. j., and made a great reputation
as we'll as considerable torture as a rail-
way lawyer. He was appointed to the

gentlemen. with gray hair, and used a
cane in walking. He cherished no desire
for the Presidency, and devoted much of
his leisure time to study, having q great
love for mathematical problems. He
leaves charming widow and daughter
and several sons.
