The Jersey Delegation will Caucus This
Evening.


The jersey Delegation Will Caucus This
Evening.
Special to the jersey City Ee,os.
WASHINGTON. D. c.. August 5. 1S93.-
New Jersey delegation will meet at noon
today in the room OF Representative
Geisenheiner aE the Arlington Hotel
The caucus would have been elG last
night, but the members are not here.
The abssnt ones were:-Reprssenta
Fielder. Cadmus, English and Dunn. Mr.
Cornish arrived today. and Mr.. Geiseu :
heiner has been here for two days, Sena-
tor Smith is also here.
Of course, the principal concern Just
now for the New jersey members is the
assignment OF commitue es. Representa-
tive Geissenheim er, as dean of the dele
CATION, has un dertaken the almost hsrcu-
lous task of endeavoring to have all his
colleagues placed just where they want
to 60. This he did at The opening of the
last Congress with most excellent sue
cess, for the Speaker holds him in high
esteem. but the conditions now are very
different. Then the Speaker only had
half of the majority among which TO dis
tribute his especial favors. aud the New
Jersey dele Ratiion had stood by him so
solidly that he felt under obligations to
it. Now he goes into the Speakers chair
with the entire majority to satisfy, and
it is doubtfu!if there are enough pleasant
pl aces to go around. At the same time
it is nos at all out of the question that
New Jersey will be well cared for, as
usual.
Indeed. the outlook is that 10 this Con-
gress New Jersey will get what 1t was
not fortunate enough to obtain In the
last Congress. and That is two Chairman
ships One important Charm anship
will go to the State, and Mr.. Gsissen-
hainer will undoubtedly be the recipient
OF it, The other Craftsmanship will be of
minor character. aud will in all proba-
bility, 90 to the representative from the
Newark dist rict. DR.. Thomas Dunn Eng
lish. 1t is true that DR.. English has been
in Congress no longer tnan Mr.. Cadmus,
OF the Paterson district, but he is the
senior OF the delegation in years, and is
man of such renown that 1T seems more
appropriate for him to share in any hon
ors which the delegation may receive.
His advanced age, however, and his
increasing blindness will make it 1mpera-
ative that he be given commit tee of the
very least Importance.
In this connection 1t may be stated that
the law which allows each Der to
have CLERK makes the Craftsmanship less
desirable than ever before. Previously
the only Congressmen who had the priyi-
lege of employing clerks were the chair
men, but, as matter OF fact, the law
just referred to expressly states that a
chairman OF committee shall not be al
lowed to employ a private clerk. The
clerk appointed by chairman. therefore,
must serve the committee as we'll as the
chairman. condition OF affairs which
the latter Is not Inclined to regard with
unmiXed pleasure

of the owner of Pearl Point, Mr.. D. w.
Sherman, for two or three years, and
while he had some knowledge of the lake

FAIR GROUNDS. August 5. 1898. .-Ju ST

but to them less attractive part OF the
Exposition. Certain concessionaireS are
finding out to their financial sorrow that
the public Is whimsical aud diserimin-
ating, and also fair judge of what is
worth paying to see.
Discussions among the stock holder in
the concessions aud consequent litigation
have led to the appointment OF receivers
for the original Vienna Bakery Cafe and
Natatorium Company aud the Algerian
Theatre.
The Persian Theatre has now fallen,
the dragnet put out bv Director General
Davis, who has been appointed iufor-
mally censor of the Oriental dances on
the Midway for the good of public
decency and morality. Director of
Works Burnham reported that
the Persian idea OF terpsiGhorean
art was not in harmony with the tone of
the exposition or the American code of
morals, so today by order of the chief
executive officer, the Persian theatre is
closed to the public until such time as
the dancing part of the programme can

JUDGE SHOOTS EDITOR.

TExARKANA, Ark, August 5. 1S93.-In-
tense excite meut was caused here last
night by the shooting and probably fatal
wounding of Captain w. j. Allen, edl-
tor and proprietor OF tue Daily Inter
State NelUs, by John J. King, County
Judge of Bowie County. Texas. The be-
ginning of the trouble dates back about
a month. when Allen was arrested and
fined for alleged contempt of court by
the Commissioners Court, of which King
ie ex-officio presiding officer. The al
legged contempt was the publication by
Allen of an adverse criticism OF the
courts action. Last night the parties
met and King drew q revolver and fired,
the ball taking effect in Alleds left side
and passing through the body below the
lungs. Physicians say there is little hope
for Aliens recovery.

TO INVESTIGATE ELMIRA.

ELMIRA. NY, August 5, 1S93.-The
local members OF the Board of Managers
OF the New York State Reformatory say
that they passed the resolution request
ing the Governor to investigate the
alleged cruelty at that institution in
GOOD faith, and there is nothing further
for them to do in the matter. One OF the
board stated tnat it would be the height
OF folly for them to Investigate them
selves, and so the matter will be dropped.
The board regard the charges against the
Reformatory as utterly groundless. and
one member went SO far as to state that
in his opinion it was Dlackmailing
scheme. Unless Governor Flower changes
his opinion, rs expressed in his communi-
cation of August 4, it is not likely that
any action will be taken.

BABY'S FORTUNATE FALL.
She Fell From the Window On
Another Chlld-Both Un-
injured.

While Mrs. .Maruzy was shaking bread
crumbs from the table cloth out of the
back window of her kitchen, at No. 300
Central avenue, this morning, her TWO
year old child, Maggie, tumbled out of
the front parlor window. Mrs. Maruzy
had been gone from the parlor only few
minutes, and left the child playing on the
floor. The youngster must have crawled
to the window sill and leaned over too
far.
Under the window from which the
child came stood Amelia Seigel. nine
years of age, of No. 2s5 Central avenue.
Amelia was bending slightly at the time.
and the young child in its desc ent steered
directly upon Amelia. The latter was
forced to the ground by the weight of
the child, and thought it was some bag
that had fallen from window. Amelia
picked herself mp and looked for the bag
She saw instead little Maggie doubled
up in heap near bye, Amelia uttered
a little scream and ran into the crockery
store under the Maruzys' home.
"Maggie's killed." she cried out.
The proprietor hurried out and picked
up the seemingly fnanimate body of the
child. Doctor Henry was Immediately
summoned.
This had all happened inside of three
minutes. and Mrs. Maruzy stood shaking
more clothes from the window. She
presently heard a vigorous jtngling of
her bell, and thought 1t was the butcher.
She thought he might wait for ringing
her bell SO hard, and paid no attention
until she had the shaking process con-
cluded.
AS she leisurely went do wn stairs she
was met by the crockery proprietor who
apprised her of the accident. She gave q
faint shrek and ran into the store. The
doctor made an examination of the child
and found no broken bones n or traces of
the child's fall.
Amelia had flown, and was evidently
not hurt BADLY. The child's escape from
death or serious accident is nothing short
of miraculous
