his political connections is one of the
recognized mining experts Of the North

alton of affairs throughout the entire
country was indicative OF Republican vic
tory everywhere.
"The result of Oregon's State, county
aud municipal election" said he, ''gives US
an idea what we may expect from now un-

licans by holding aloof and following their
party principles faithfully have nothing
whatever to lear from fusions and comb
nations among Democrats aud Populists.
They combined in Oregon in many locall-
ties and even with the aid of Pennoyer
they were obliged to lie down and be
swept under by the mighty Republican
hosts. From indications and my observa-
tons, feel sure that in California the

cred him a wonderfully active man for his
age. At one time Shane offered to assist
Wallace in some of bis work, but was
given to understand that his assistance
was not needed. On the day of Mr. Wal
lace's death, witness went to where bis
BODY was living. The ground gave evi.
dence of his having been at work attempt
Ing to stop fire among the trees. Ground
had been turned up and thrown around
the trees, in such quantity, that 1T would
require good man to work well to get it
there in three hours. Witness helped
prepare the body for burial, and noticed
where it had been burned, but did not no
tice any skin disease which would cause
scales to fall from the body.
Samuel Hawk was ticket agent at Pal
myra for several years and often saw Wal
lace take the train to Philadelphia, and
considered the latter very active man
for his age.
Joseph Bonsor bias lived in Palmyra
since 1875. He was postmaster there at
one time and Wallace voluntarily went
on his bond. Witness often saw Wallace
at work grubbing small stumps.
Charles Lowden knew Wallace but
thought he was feeble only few years
before his death.
Mrs. Lizzie Wallace knew Josiah Wal
lace and often saw him during the past
Is wears at work in his woods. He would
grub around the roots, then he would
climb ladder to the top of the tree, put
rope around it, and get the school boys
to pull the tree down. He did this up to
seven years ago.
John F. Wallace never noticed that Jo-
siah was afflicted in either of his arms and
never saw him favor one arm more than
another.
Louis Hackney worked for William F.
Morgan from 1886 until noon of Wednes-
day, December 81, 1893. Up to four years
ago Louis boarded at the house and saw
Wallace at the table, but never saw that
he required much help, but had seen Mrs.
Wallace cut his food for him, although
not very often, nor did he ever hear Mr..
or Mrs. Morgan complain that he was any
trouble until after his death.
Washington w. Hunter was member
of the Board of Freeholders Of this county
from 1873 to 1888. During part of this
time William F. Morgan was also mem
Der of the Board. In conversation with
William the latter said that he had some
money, and that he was indebted to
Josiah, but he did not know whether to
pay it then, as the old man might leave it
to him.
This ended Thursdays proceedings.
On Friday the Wallace case was resum-
ed. The testimony for the defense was
all to show that Josiah Wallace was not
the feeble, decrepit old man that the
plaintiff had represented.
The defense closed about eleven o'clock,
and William F. Morgan was recalled to
deny that he had ever said that Josiah
Wallace was not any trouble to him.
Both sides then rested and counsel
summed up the case.
The jury retired soon after dinner. but
was not out very long, returning with a
verdict of $l6.57O.55, being at the rate of
SIS per week, with interest from the
death of Mr.. Wallace.

Found Dead.

The body of Lawyer Herbert W. Ed
munds, who mysteriously disappeared
from home, at Cape May, was found Tues
day afternoon by searching party on
the meadows between the Cape May
Point Life-saving station and Mount YER
non. The coroner held an inquest, and
verdict of death from physical exhaus-
ton, superinduced by an overdose of
morphia, was rendered.
Lawyer Edmunds was a son of the late
Judge Downs Edmunds. He had prsc-
ticed law at Cape May for the past fifteen
years. and his ability was unquestioned,
but he was erratic and at times INDUCED
to excess In intoxicants.
OF late he had been in poor health and
resorted to the use of morphine and CO.
caine He was locked up in jail for sew
eral weeks recently for contempt of an
order of the Court of Chancery to pay
over $500 in his possession as solicitor of
the borough of Cape May Point. He was
finally released on security furnished by
his cousin, ex-Mayor Henry ]. Edmunds,
but was much broken in health and
spirits.
On the day of his disappearance Law
yer Edmunds threatened to end his life.
He secured at the post Office package of
morphine which had been mailed to him
from Philadelphia and, it is presumed,
after taking large quantity of the drug,
wandered out on the meadows to die.
His funeral took place on Thursday at
the Methodist Episcopal Church, at Cape
May, of which the deceased was a mem
Der. Rev. D. H. Laverty, D. D., pastor of
the Cold Spring Presbyterian Church,
and Rev. Mr. Cockins, of Cape May, par
ticipated with Rev. ]. B. Haines In the
funeral services. The remains were in
TERED in the Cold Spring cemetery.
Edmunds studied law with Capt. Wal
ter A. Barrows, in Mount Holly, was a
close student and was possessed of con-
siderable ability. He was a genial COM
panion, and his social qualities led him
into habits that finally controlled him.
