NEWARK, Nov. 1S.-rne ball has
opened and what promises to be the
livcliest kind of political scramble for
the postmastcrshipo Newark is already
under way. For this local plum the
names of no less than nine good Demo-

SlulreWiliam IL. Smith, Ebcn b. Frazer,
joseph Dean, Byard Widdoes, John NJ.

Allan Oliver. But as the two latter
have Withdrawn their names the fight
will be wagcd between the seven other
men, unless some Of them deem it adj
vlsable to Withdraw when they discover
their own weakness as candidates, a
course which several more are most
likely soon to take.
At present the most prominent candi-
dates are Messrs. Smith and Frazer, the
former local justice Of the peace, the
latter Newark's most prominent drug

Mr.. Frazer, though having moved here
from Maryland only few years ago,

respect of the community and knowing

The present postmaster is 5, II.

succeed 5. b. llerdman, an appointee of
President Cleveland who was allowed
to serve out his full term. The present
postmaster has now been in office 12

TRENTON, n. j., Nov. 2O.-The Mercer
county grand jury favored the establish.
ment OF whipping post for wife heaters,
and some of the prominent citizens intend
to have law passed during the next ses-
sion of the legislature The subject has
caused much discussion
Many of the judges and other officials
are opposed to the establishment Of the
whipping-post. Judge X. Il. Woodruff, to
whom the presentment was made By tine
grand Jury. said in an interview to-day
that the re.establishmcnt of the whipping
post would be q backward movement in
civilization. Wife beating is a serious
ottcnse and on the increase. and some
thing must be lone. He thinks q sentence
IN the wOrk-huuse at hard labor would be
u remedy.
Judge William o. Yard said he remem-
bered the time when there was a whipping
post in Trenton, and it had degrading
effect upon the man publicly dashed, so
that ne never ovcrcame it and became Il
shameless character about town. Nothing
could be gained by a return to that form
OF punishment.
Police Justice Caminade said he was not
in favor gift Ovcrsecr of the Poor Mulch
Ter thinks 1t would he well to have such d
law passed. John H. Scudder. foreman of
the grand jury, says il may look barbarous,

he has concluded that the whipping pSst Is

to the commission of the crime, it being
charged in the Indictment that the
mortal blow was inflicted in Cecil
county, but that death in consequence
of the wound subsequently ensued in
Philadelphia, where DitmOre died at the
hospital. II was held that this state had
no Jurisdiction in the matter. In the
opinion handed down, the case of
Guiteau for the killing of President
Garfield was referred to and the demurrer
overruled.
The second bill of exception was as to
the supposed illegal separation Of the
jury during the progress of the trial.

1891, and was considered the most
brutal ever perpetrated in Cccil county.
