N2emoranuum OF the Court of Pardons
ON the Ballot COX Cases.
Special to The jersey City Ne1cs.
TRENTON, Dec. "a, 1s92.-The Court Of
Pardons met at the Capitol yesterday and
after a W hours session granted paroles
to thirty-one Of the Hudson county ballot
box suffers and an unconditional pardon
to one. At the meeting Of the Court on
Tuesday last these cases were re ferred to
a committee OF four, composed Of Judges
Smith, Bogert. Brown and Kruger. The
committee at a meeting W ent over all the
cases and decided upon he following re-
port, which was presented to the Court
yesterday
The prisoners were, with others, convicted Of
conspiracy to violate the election laws at the
general election held in November, 1889. The
punishment imposed upon the men thus in
dicted seems to have been divided into four
classes. The first sentences imposed were upon
defendants who were convicted on trial by
jury. These were sentenced to terms Of
eighteen months in the State Prison. Their
cases were reviewed on writs Of error, and their
conviction affirmed.
conviction Of other defendants was followed by
a classification of sentences, those defendants
who waived their rights to have their trials re-
viewed on writs of error being sentenced to the
Penitentiary. while those who declared their in
tention OF taking writs of error were sentenced
to the State Prison. After this the court divided
and a majority of its members decided that the
a writ of error should not result in &
sentence to the State Prison. Several de-
PENDANTS convicted af1u n2iyision were SEN

HOW THEY CAME HOME.
Scenes at the P. r. E. Station When
the Suffers Arrived.

Tit decision of the Court of Pardons at
Trenton yesterday in paroling all the
ballot-box suffers, save John A. Whelan.
who was fully %pardoned. provoked inde-
scrlbable excitement throughout the city.
Telegraphic dispatches were received at
the Western Union office by the dozen.
Every telegram concluded with, ''Have a
coach" which demonstrated the fact that
the suffers desired to get TO their respec-
tive homes as quickly as possible, and at
the same time attracting as little atten-
ton as possible.
1t was expected that the suffers would
shake the dust Of Trenton as quickly as
possible after they had been Dardoned,
but the indications are that none of them
hurried. The 4:42 O'Clock train over the
pennsylvania Railroad was thought to be
the train the paroled convicts would
arrive on.
In the big waiting room sat Alderman
Kelly, Mr.. 2. Miskell. J.. H.. Sullivan.
Thomas Whelan, and a dozen or more
persons who were anxious to receive the
suffers. Politicians were conspicuous by
their absence, Alderman Kelly being the
only one present. Superintendent Smith
had evidently either expected a riot Or
such n rush of people at the depot that
traffic would be delayed, as Policeman
Byrnes was sent there to assist the regu-
lar officers in their work. His precautioh
was unnecessary. There was no
band to play Home Again. when
they arrived, and Tim" Callahau's old
hack WAS the only vehicle il sight.

Il STATE A%RBITRATORs.
Strikes Discussed AT a Meeting At Tay-

" . A4oGCA
The New Jersey State Board Of Arbi-
tration met yesterday at Taylor's Hotel.
and considered the cloakmakers' strike at
B~ridgeton. J. P. Mcdonnell presided, and
Commissioners P. F. Doyle and L. D.
Robertson and Secretary John w.
Romano were present.
AS the glassblowers have expressed
their willingness to submit their case to
arbitration it was decided to visit the
employers early next week Il endeavor
to settle the dispute.
The Board then proceeded to Jonasson
81 Co.'s Office, at No. 1858 Broadway. New
York city, and had a long interview with
Mr.. Jonasson and MIR, Rothschild of the
firm. The discussion, which was very
friendly. ELECTED the fact that Foreman
Bernstein at the Woodbine Clothing Fac
tory, who has been discharged. was the
chief cause of the complaints made by
the workmen, and that no strike would
have taken place but for him. MIR.
Jonasson promised to reopen his factory
next Tuesday.

Gloomy and DownhearIed, But Not

Jail Delivery.
SEEKING CONSOLATION

There are twelve unhappy disseminated
men at the HudsonaC County Penitentiary.
They are the ballot box suffers who
were sentenced to imprisonment in that
institution. Last evening word that the
men confined in State Prison had
been released WAL telephoned to
the PenitentiarY and n and
all waited with much anxiety. hoping
that they, too, had been released. Frank
Herrick, who is acting as spokesman for
the imprisoned suffers, communicated
with a number of politicians, and at nine
o'clock, much depressed in spirits, told
his prison companions that the Court of
Pardons had acted only upon the cases of
the men in State Prison.
All night long the men sat up and con-
versed. Many complained that the
laeders had neglected them, and had done
more for the Trenton men than they had
Tor them Others muttered, II knew 1t,
we may as well grin and bear it. We are
here, ana we will have to stick it out"
Inls morn1ning the prisoners were in q
better humor. They are ssmaking them
selves as comfortable as possible AMI
are preparing to pass the holidays as
pleasantly as they can toge ther. To q

word of complaint was made. The
only remark made was by
Frank Herrick, who sadi:-"The boys are
all disappointed, myself included. We
rather expected TO be home for the holi-
lays from what we had heard, but we
can't, and that settles it. Our terms
VIII lie up in a short time, and TIL en- once
again we will he Free"
Little Mike Kelly accepts the situation
coolly. He says his term will expire in
February, even if he is not parol led before
that time. Charlie Nugent was very
downhearted. but not a word of C complaint
is heard from him. BILLY" Ho we and
"Billyn Sammons have become great
chums. They had reckoned on getting
home for Christmas. They bear their
disappointment without a murmur.
"Dick" Whelan. 'Tom" Rush, Jno. Con-
nelt Thomas German and Edward Scott
refused to discuss the situation. The
twelve men know that thers is a petition
before the Court of Pardons for their
relief and are endeavoring to find conso-
lation in the fact that the Court did not
wish to make a general jail delivery.
They, n and all, are happy that the
suffers have been released from Trenton.
What puzzles them, however. is that
they were adjudged the lesser criminals
by the courts, but are now being made to
serve a longer sentence.

A WORLDS SHOOTING TOURNEY
To be Held During the Chicago Fair
Next June,

Next June.
CHICAGO, Dec. "a, 1s92.-The initial step
towards giving Chicago the largest
shooting tournament ever held has
been taken. At a meeting Of
the Executive Committee of the I'LL
nois State Sportsmen's Association it was
decided to hold the State shoot here next
June, and in connection with it will be a
m oDster tournament open to the world.
A meeting of the sporismen at large
has been called for next Thursday night
at the Sherman House. 1t is proposed to
organize a stock company. which will
have power to hire professional man
ayers for the shoot. 1t is probable
that 10000 will be given in prizes.
and the shoot will last for a period of
thirty days. President Organ has been
in correspondence with the crack shots
of Europe. II many have announced
that they will come if the affair is large
enough to tempt them.

although they decided to have their conVictions
reviewed. A fourth class of cases is composed
OF defendants who withdrew their pleasNof not
guilty. These were, in several INSTANCES, SEN
fenced to the State Prison for fifteen honths.
In the opinion of your committee, each BIZ these
prisoners should have at least that mercy which
was, in one class, made dependent upon the
pr. soners' agreement to accept the verdict of
the jury as final.
After a careful examination of the records of
these prisoners. which shows that but one Of
these confined in the State Prison was ever before
indicted for any ofense, your m has
decided that it will be consistent with the
proper and merclful administrator of justice to
parole the following prisoners on the twenty
fourth of December. The paroling of these
prisoners does not restore them to citizenship,
and their retention of liberty is entirely de-
pendent upon their conducting themselves
as good citizens the State retaining the
right to conpel a service of the balance
of the sentence il any of the prisoners should
prove unworthy of the mercy recommended by
your committee.

The cases were then taken up sepa-
rately, and a vote taken on each by the
full court. Chancellor McGill and
Judge Clements voted against the
granting of paroles or pardons in every
case.
