INSANITY OR DEATH
And Mrs. John II. Marsden Preferred
the GEaUa- f

And Mrs.. John II. Marsden Preferred
the Grave.
Grape on the door of No. 149 Mercer street
attracted the attention of residents of that
neighborhood late yesterday afternoon. No
one knew anyone had been sick in the house
and inquiry ELECTED the fact that Mrs. John
F. Marsden had committed suicide by taking
rough on rats.
The woman has been sick for some months.
Sixteen years ago she was confined in the
asylum at Snake Hill, it having been found
that her mind was unbalanced. When re-
leased she enjoyed excellent health and her
mind seemed sound. During the last two
months of her illness she had often declared
that she was losing her mine again. Her
husband believes that she preferred death to
insanity.
She sent her ten-year-old son out for the
Rough ON Rats and told him to be sure and
tell the druggist that it was wanted for rats.
At noon her son summoned his father, who
is an employee of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
telling him that his mother was very sick.
The woman told her husband what she had
done DR.. Pearson was sent for, but he
could do nothing to save her life.
Mrs. Marsden was well liked by her
neighbors, and her rash act has caused much
sorrow.

CHEEK AND CHECKS.
A HobOken Swindler who WADE
Seventy-five Cents in a Day.

- kNODOACh
Seventy-five Cents in a a
A very sly, fat man, middle aged, about .
feet 9 inches in height, has been masquer-
aiding about Hoboken trying to work coun-
terfeit checks on verdant tradesmen. He
said he was agent for Timken & Hannibal,
the Hudson street feed dealers. He started
out last Saturday, beginning with +.
Dehmer, harness maker, at No. 12l Wash
ington street. He asked to see some horse
blankets. Dehmer hauled down a big
he wanted about six of them for Timken d
Hannibal, and exhibited a great desire to
pay spot cash-with a check. Dehmer knew
the methods of the firm, and told the Gus
toner that it was unnecessary to pay them,
that he would send a bill with the goods.
The man persisted until Dehmer'S suspicious
were aroused and he positively refused to ac-
! cept the check. 1t was signed lmk q
| Hanniball," one 'T' too many, and
was drawn to the order OF
w. C. Anderson ON the Hud-
son County National Bank. Dehmer
sent word to Timken's store n found the
man to be an imposter, and the check a
forgery. After leaving Dehmer's store,
Anderson, as the check counterfeiter called
himself. made for the hardware establish
ment of H. H. Hankid, at Sixth and Wash
ington streets, where he asked |. l. Lowson,
who was In charge, Tor a lew miles OF nose.
Timken and Hannibal are going to clean
their store this afternoon, and they sent me
to order a roll from you"
Lawson said there was none on hand,
he would be compelled to send to New York
for it. Anderson said to do it, and ten
dered the check as advance payment. Law
son said he need not pay them, it would be
time enough when the hose arrived. But
Anderson had particular reasons for having
it settled then, and Lawson said he had a
bill against the firm, and Anderson could
take it to them. Anderson looked troubled,
and when Lawson said he expected Mr..
Timken to call in a few moments, Anderson
beat a hasty retreat.
Lawson sent to New York for the hose,
which cost SIS, and had it carted to Tim
ken's store. The firm could not remember
having ordered it and sent it back.
From Hawkins Anderson went to Brock
woldt Brothers stove store, at No. 209 First
street. He struck Breckwoldt for seventy
five cents by giving him an S18 check in
payment for stoves costing SIPS. The
stoves were sent to No. 3O6 Bloomfield street,
but no one by the name of AndeI-
son was there to take them. Ander-
son tried to accomplish the game
on Mr.. Ulrich, a harness maker
on Bloomfield street. Anderson wanted
blankets, but Ulrich would not be paid in
advance. Then he went to a ''blocklnaker"
named Morris on Fourteenth street, ordered
a big bill, and presented a check for $500
drawn by Timken & Hannibal.
Morris doubted its validity and ~telephoned
to Timken. The latter declared it to be a for
gerry. While the telephone conversation was
going on Anderson skipped out n has not
been seen since. Detective Nelson is after
him.

BROTHERS AT THE ALTAR.

Another big meeting took place at the
great revival service in the old Trinity M.
E. Church last night. People of all denomina-
lions were present, preachers and laymen.
The increasing interest was manifested by
the way in which the crowd filled up the
church at the very beginning of the service.
The praise service set the meeting on fire be-
fore the sermon. Evangelist Harrison
preached from the text, at is time to seek
the Lord" At the invitation, many rose for
prayers and others came forward to the al
tar. At the very close Of the meeting a man
suddenly came forward to the altar. He was
met there by his brother, who is a minister
from the Wisconsin conference who had la
bored hard to get him converted. 1t was a
scene of great joy when they together re-
joiced over his conversion.

New Jersey Central Railroad Company to
recover 10000 damages, is being tried today
in the Supreme Court before Judge Lippin-
colt and a jury. Robinson was employed in
September, 1892, as a brakeman. While he
was coupling cars, IN engineer backed his
engine down and forced the cars against the
brakeman's hand, which was so badly
crushed that ~amputation was necessary. The
plaintiff claims the engineer had not re-
ceived any signal to back his engine, and be-
cause of his carelessness, he caused the
accident.

SILVER AND THE PLATFORM.

The following is the financial plank of
the platform adopted by the National
Democratic convention at Chicago, in
1892:
1--WE denounce the republican legislation
known as the Sherman act of 1890, as a
sowardly makeshift, fraught with possis
bilities of danger in the future, which
should make all of Its supporters, as well
as its author anxious for Its speedy repeal,
We hold to the use of both gold and silver
as the standard money of the country, and
to the coinage of both gold and silver
without discrimination against either
metal, or charge for mintage, bat the dol
lar unit of coinage of both metals must be
of equal intrinsic value or be adjusted
through internati Enlargement, or by 81
safeguards of legislation as shall tnsc
the maintenance of the parity of the ur
metals and the equal power OF every tw
lat all times in the markets and i'll pay
ment of debts; and we demand that all
paper currency shall be kept at pa with
md redeemable in such coin. We insist
pom this policy as specially necessary for
the protection of the farmers and laboring
classes, the first and most defenseless vics
tins Of unstable money and a %1uctuating
currency.

secured the floor and moved to amend the
above by the insertion of the word

THE SPIDER TO THE FLY.

The North american Review
for March contains "A Reply to
Mr. Andrew Carnegie" from the
pen of Major Sir G. S. Clarke, K,
G. M. G., on the question of a
union of this country with Great
Britain. Major Clarke is not as
enthusiastic in his views as Mr..
Carnegie. He does not look for
such a union, within a few centur-
les at nearest.
He believes that Mr.. Carnegie.
in his Supplemented way, has
forgotten some facts of history
which may yet be remembered in
this country. The story of 1912
Il, he says, is a painful one Of
mistaken hostilities"; though it
Sis now remembered in America
only in connection with some
naval successes. . In Eng
land it has long been forgotten"
Naturally. The naval successes
were all on one side, and England
makes it a point to forget unpleas-
ant memories of defeat.
Like every other advocate of the
impossible union, Major Clarke
drsgs in the ghost of poor old
Josiah Tatnall, whose "blood was
thicker than water" until it came
to shedding it for the country of
his birth and the flag which he had
sworn to support, He also invokes
the memory of the Samoan disaster
and the American admiral whose
bad judgment threw away a noble
feet, but who "could not have been
gladder" if the uuinjured English
ship Calliope "had been one of our
own ships" Luckily for her she
was not, else she might have been
to-day with Admiral Kimberly's
fleet, at the bottom OF Apia Bay.
On the strength of those two
not very gratifying incidents Major
Clarke thinks that it is quite pos
sible to effect a naval union of the
United States and Great Britain,
for the benefit, needless to say, Of
the latter. He dismisses as out
worn, Washington solemn advice
tc his countrymen against forming
any "entangling alliances" with
European ambition, rivalry, in
terest, humor, or CAPRICE" Mr..
Carnegie, he saye, participates and
disposes OF" that fallacious doctrine
and who will say that George
Washington was a better Ameri-
can or a wiser stateman than An
drew Carnegie2
Washington did not know-how
could he, poor man!-that England
and America are 1.-TWO nations, but
only one race" He supposed, N
his limited mind, that the United
States constituted a great nation
and that its people were a distinct
race from that of any other nation.
though tracing it's o1igia to many.
In his time an American meant 9
man born on American soil or inn
bued with tho principles of Alner'
!. icanism. He would not have
thought of Lafayette, for instance;
as an "AngloeSaxon," and he died
