SCENES AT TRENTON.
Delegates Strongly in Favor OF
Cleveland - Nothing But
Harmony Manifest.

TIRE NToN, May as, 1so2.-This town was
almost as lively last night as If the Leg
islature were in session. The hotels were
crowded, and there was hurrying to
and fro through the streets that por-
tended business. No one needed to be
told that the preliminaries OF the Demo
cratic State Convention to select dele
gates to Chicago were being arranged.
That fact was written on the street
corners. Even the lamps blinked wisely
the occasion, but did not care 10 shed
much light on it.
There was some confusion.and noise, but
no discord. Harmony was evident and
there was an outspoken Cleveland senti-
ment everywhere. If any man was op-
posed to him he kept the fact to himself.
The only trouble apparent was the fact
that there were five delegatesat-large
where only four were needed. There
were Governor Albeit, Senator Nc
Pherson. James Smith. Jr.. Miles Ross
and BENJAMIN f. Lee This difficulty
was fiualiy adjusted by the retirement OF
Mr., Lee, who had never beeL particularly
anxious to make the trip though his
name had been vigorously presented by
his friends.
The most important action of the even
ing was the selection of Allan L. McDer-
mObG AS Lu6 NSW OChoSJ LhOiAcCh Va shO
National Democratic Committee In place
of Miles Ross, who declined reappoint-
ment.
The Democratic State Committee had
its headquarters In room 100. Trenton
House, where Chairman Allan l.. McDer-
mott, State Treasurer Geo. r. Gray, James
Smith. Jr.. Judge John +. johnson and
numerous other shining lights of the
party received and shook hands with the
delegates,
Governor Albeit was established at the
State House, ana Senator Mcpherson oc-
cupied room No. 16 at the Trenton
House.

RAILROAD NOTES.

Excursions on the Green wood LAX
road will begin on May 30.
A large frame containing the photo
graphs of all the Norris and Essex divi.
sion conductors has been hung up in the
conductors room in Hoboken. Another
frame containing the likenesses of the
main line conductors is expected this
week.
II was George NJ Halstead, son of GEN
eral Manager Halstead of the Lackawan-
ma, who took the place of general manager
of the Buffalo Car Works. 1t was erron-
eously reported that his father had re-
signed to accept the new charge.
H. H. Dougherty, of Newark, who
built the famous Verugas bridge in Peru,
is now general manager of the Bruns-
wick, Wilmington and Southern Railroad
at Southport. North Carolina. upon which
work was begun with appropriate cere-
monies on Wednesday under his direc-
tion. This seems to be destined to be an
important road. as Southport has many
advantages over Wilmington as q ship
ping port. Wilmington is nearly thirty
miles from the coast. while Southport,
with an excellent harbor, is right on the
shore and has never had railroad commu-
nication with the metropolis of the State,
or with the interior. The projected road
will be about thirty miles long and will
connect with the Wilmington. Columbia
e. Augusta and Carolina aud Central
Railroads. 1t will have a fine outlet to
the West and it Is hoped will divert o
great deal of trade from Wilmington.
John C. Wiswell, of New York, was
recently elected president in place of
George l.. Dunlap, of Chicago, resigned.
Most of the capital of the road comes
from Chicago. II is proposed to estab-
lish coal pockets and shipping facilities
at Southport aud to bring the little city
into prominence.

that on night he could not recall Lud-

tended bar, but he did not know what oc-
Cured.
Here the State rested.
Ex-Judge Hoffman asked the Court for
the discharge of the defendants, as the
State had not proven its case. Counsel
contended that there was moth
ing in the testimony that showed
that the defendants had paid
anything besides counsel fees. They had
engaged Bretzfeld to secure their release
from Jail and they were perfectly salts
fled with what Bretzfeld had done. They
had no desire to make a complaint against
the defendants.
The Court ruled that the testimony
should 60 to the jury. Ex-Judge Hoff-
man then asked for the discharge of r E.
corder McDonough, contending that a
case had not been made out against him,
but the Court made the same ruling.
A recess was then taken.

The British Government Expected to
Pay the Costs This Time.
At noon today Lawyer Charles j.
Peshall left for Washington, where he
will make application to Judge Blatch-
ford, of the United States Supreme
Court, for a writ of habeas corpus in the
case of Murderer Edward Hallinger, who
is sentenced to be hanged on June 2. The
appeal will be based on the old plea, Hal
linger's right to trial by jury.
The former application was dismissed
by the Supreme Court because Hallinger
was pauper and could not pay the costs.
Mr.. Peshall said this morning that as
Hallinger is British subject
the costs would be paid by
the British Government, and
that his application would be referred to
q full bench as was done in the case of
Milligan, of Indiana. who was sentenced
by military commission, during the late
war, TO be shot.
Mr.. Peshall is verv sanguine as to the
outcome Of this application.
