BOWEN EXON ERATED.
McCloskey Was Not Drunk When
He Confessed Judgment.

Counsellor John Dennin today SUBJ
mitced 10 Judge Werts the report of
Referee Cassidy In the suit Of James r.
Bowen against John +. McClosKey.
Some months ago McCloskey employed
Bowen to look after his share OF an estate
which he claimed was worth S17,0C0.
Bowen ascertained that the estate
amounted to but little, and charged
McCioskey SIS for his services.
McCloskey did not have the money
and he confessed Judgment for the
amount. Bowen advertised The property
OF McCloskey for sale under execution,
aud McCloskey asked the court to open
the Judgment, alleging that Bowen had
got him drunk in Frank McCullagn's
saloon on Grand street and then induced
him to sign the confession of Judgment.
The case was referred to Referee Cas-
sidy and today his report was handed the
Judge. 1t confirmed the Judgment and
sustained Lawyer Bowen. McClosKey at
about the same time he confessed juGg-
ment 10 Bowen, sigued another document
of n like nature in which he acknowl-
edged that he owed Frank McCuilagh
$3.50 for liquor. etc. McClosKey lives on
Third street, Harrison.

HIGH SCHOOL H0NORS.
Captured by the Fair Sex
Sketch of the Prize
Winners.

The honors of the Glass of '92, Jersey
City High School, belong to the girls.
They generally do. but last January the
valedictorian was of the sterner sex, as
"A gentle encouragement to keep up their
courage. The v~aledictorian. Miss Bessie
Stillman. is a tall. graceful blonde. with
a profusion of golden brown hair. Since
the beginning OF the course there
has been little doubt that she
would carry off first honors.
and the class Is well satisfied with the re-
suit. Miss Stillman, Miss Nellie Beach,
Ripper, third honor, are all graduates of
Public School No. II, and members OF the
Alpha Sigma of High School. Miss Beach
Is a darked eyed little woman, with wavy
cur1s and u clear, olive complexion. Dis
respectful people speak of the first and
second honor pupils as the long and
short of it, for the topmost ribbon on
Miss Beach's hat barely reaches the puffs
on Miss Stillman's shoulders.
Miss Bertha Van Ripper, the third in
ranE, is another petite maiden, with a
brain not at all petite. in fact. quite the
contrary, as witness the Classics medal
that is waiting for her for first rank in
Latin and Greek. She will enter Barnard
College in the fall, where there is no
doubt that she will maintain the repu-
tation of the High School for sending the
best pupils in its classes. Miss Van Ripper
is rs far as possible from the conventional
college girl as she figures in the humorous
weeklies. Her hnir does not ascend in II
severe Pompadour, but curls and a
in Il most bewitchiug manner; her eyes,
soft brown eyes, are not obscured by blus
goggles, and so far from wearing gowns
of Quaker hue and cut. she blossoms out
in IN extensive collection of fashionable
trocks.
Contrary to custom the honor pupils
nave not. in their essays, announced their
intention TO right all the wrongs OF the
world, and, departing, leave behind
them,' etc. Miss Stillman will speak of
the growth of Jersey City's school svs.
TEN, and close with n brief metrical adj
dress of farewell to teachers. friends and
classmates. Miss Beach will talk Of
''Oid Songs" aud Miss Van Ripper OF
''Mind Reading" If anyone should try
to read the minds of the present class il
is highly probable that he would think he
had fallen upon a COPY of u fashion mag
acme. now that the graduating gown
fever is raging. However. it is highly
PROBABLE that Miss Van Ripper will no
touch on this subject next Tuesday night

At the end OF his speech he presented

Harrison aud the Party.

Benjamin Harrison runs this second
time under the monstrous disadvan-
tage that the people know him for
what he is. His NEAR small soul, his
limited intellect, his utter lack OF
Judgment, his selfishness, obstinacy
and vanity, the commonplaceness OF
his virtues and his vices, his gifts and
his defects are we'll settled concep-
tions in the mind of every voter. His
lack of appreciation ofmoral law in Its
relation to public events has been
shown in almost every act OF his Id
ministration; his lack of appreciation
of moral character is proven by the
d~isgraceful careers of almost all whom
he has gathered about him. BY the
