DID He POISON TIE PoODLE2

The dog poisoning case Of Mrs. Edwin
Thorne Of No. 1.007 Bloomfield street, Ho-
boken, against her neighbor, Alexander
Kirkwood, particulars of which were de-
scribed in THE JERSEY CITY NEWS a week
ago. was heard before Justice Seymour in
Hoboken yesterday afternoon. Mr., Besson,
lawyer for Mr.. Kirkwood, denied every ac-
c~usation made by the complainant, while
Horace Allen, Mrs. Thorne's counsel, charged
the defense with resorting to lies and per-
jury. Mr.. Allen had never heard such down
right lying. Mr.. Kirkwood was charged, up
on Mrs. Thorne's being sworn, with having
thrown a piece of fish over the fence, separ-
ating the yards of the antagonists. which was
covered with stry chime. Mrs. Thorne said
it was ten o'clock two weeks ago Sunday,
when she saw him do that. Mr.. Kirkwood
refuted that statement and said he was in
bed at nine O'Clock that evening. He adj
mitted that he was not too much in love
with Mrs. Thorne's poodle. but he didn't
want the thing to die at his hands, anyhow.
The Justice, after hearing the testimony,
said that as the case was very complicated,
he would reserve his decision until he had
more time to think over it.

This city, it is charged, is the only place
where the coaches that run between New
York and Philadelphia have met with a dis
agreeable reception The hoodlums along
the street lave stoned the coach and fol
lowed it jeering and cursing to the great
disgust of the occupants, The police have
been complained to and Chief Murphy will
see that the coaching parties are no longer
ANNOYED. In all the other towns between
New York and Philadelphia the coaches are
greeted with flowers, the waving of hand
kerchiefs, and cheers. At Plainfield, on one
occasion, an old man who was spending his
declining years in the cultivation Of roses,
climbed up on a barrel and handed every
body on the coach e magnificent bouquet Of
roses. On another occasion, at Metuchin, q
grizzled old farmer handed up o huge basket
full Of cut flowers, which were passed around
at his invitation from one passenger to an
other. AT Princeton and Trenton as many
as a thousand people have gathered to greet
the coaches at various times.

VOORHEES, ON FREE WOOL.
why the Wilson Bill Change Will
Benefit the Entire Country.

BENEFIT the Entire Country.
WASHINGTON, April "a, 1S94.-In response
to a letter received from a prominent Chic
ago business man asking him about his atti-
tude on the wool schedule. Mr.. Voorhees, to-
day sent the following reply
"WAsHINGToN, D. c., April 81, 1894.
"MY DEAR SIR,-I have your favor Of the
9th instant, making inquiry in regard to my
views as to the benefit to be derived from
the repeal Of import duty on wool.
First-It is my understanding that very
few carpet woods are produced in this coun-
try, and that they aggregate about three
fourths of all the woods imported. 1t this be
true, then as to carpet woods there could be
no disadvantage, and must be a certain adj
vantage to carpet manufacturers OF the
country and the consumers OF their goods.
Second-I am further advised that the
largest proportion of fine woods imported in
this country are woods which cannot be pro-
duced here, owing to the climatic condition,
and that they are essential to the manufac-
turer in the production OF fine fabrics. Ii
this be true, they should also be admitted
free of duty. This would leave but a small
proportion of imported woods which COM
petes at the present time with domestic
woods.
1t is also manifest to me chat the failure
of our wool growers to realize a profit on
wool is almost entirely due to over produc-
ton both in this country and in other wool
producing countries of the world.
! have no doubt that in the year
following the passage of q free wool tariff
bill the price of domestic wool
would advance unless the great owe
production in various other countries should
continue to increase. 1t is manifestly alb
surd to suppose that the II cents duty on
wool has at any time for many years past
been of service to the grower, and the prices
which have ruled within the last year as low
as IL cents per pound in the grease prove
my assertion.
With great respect,
DIV. VOORHEES,.

SOUTHERN RIGHTS.
Southerners Anxious to Improve
Qualifications for Voting
Patterson's Plans.

WASHINGTON, April q, 1S94.-"l under
stand that some misrepresentation exists IN
the South, y said Representative Patterson OF
Tennessee, this morning, regarding a Dill
introduced by me On the 18th instant. Inc
r Of the bill is to amend the acts ad-
hitting certain southern States to represen-
tationin Congress. 1t provides, in otner
words. that the several acts of Congress adj
Knitting Arkansas, North and South Caro-
lima, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, Florida,
Virginia and Mississippi to representation
in Congress shall be repealed. Do l
make myself clear2 Let me explain
further. President Lincoln always
took the position that the Southern States
were not out of the Union, but that a condl-
ton of armed rebellion existed there: chat
they were, in other words, in a state OF lnsur-
rection. After the war and after Mr..
Lincoln had been assassinated, the Congress
of the United States chose to consider that
the Confederate States had bee out of the
Union. and that they must be formally read
mitted. Now here said Judge Patterson.
opening a copy of the revised statutes, rs tne
act under which North n South Carolina,
Louisiana, Georgian. Alabama ana Fiorida
were admitted. This act states explicitly
that the Constitution of neither OF said States
shall ever be SO amended or changed as to
deprive any citizen or class Of citizens OF the
United States of the right to vote IN said
State who are entitled to vote by the Con-
stitution thereof, herein recognized, except
as a punishment for such crimes as are now
felonies at common law
1.-THE acts under which the other States
mentioned in the bill were admitted, do not
differ materially from that which | have
lust quoted. They are all clearly %unconsti-
f~utional and would not stand in any court Of
the United States for an hour
.'What privileges have the Northern
States, SO far as the suffrage is concerned,
that the Southern States mentioned in the
act do not enjoyw
sWhy, take Rhode Island, for example.
They have had a property qualification there
since the war; yes, from a period long be-
fore the war. In Massachusetts, they have
an educational qualification, and there is
nothing to prevent other Of the Northern
States from having qualifications of a sim
liar character If they choosan
lis the law rigidly observed in the South
ern StatesT
at is not. In Mississippi the State has
adopted an educational qualification. The
law is practically a dead letter because it is
unconstitutional, but it ought to be re-
pealed."

EX-GOVERNOR BERRY DEAD.
He Was Prominent for Years in

BRIsToL, N. H., April 81, 1894.-Ex-Gov-
ernor Berry Of New Hampshire died this
morning at five o'clock. Nathanial Springer
Berry was born in Bath, Me-, September l,
1906. He Yves the son Of Abner Berry, a ship
builder, and grandson of John Berry, q CAP
tain of infantry In the Revolutionary War.
His mother was Betsy, daughter Of Nathaniel
Springer, q captain Of artillery in the same
war, who was killed in action. In early life
he learned the tanning business, and erected
the first tannery in New England for tan
ming with hot liquors. He was Colonel OF
the Thirty-fourth Regiment, New Hamp-
shire Militia, for two years.; Justice Of the
Peace for twenty-eight years; Judge of
the Court of Common Pleas from June.
1641, till he resigned Tune 5, 1891, to qualify
as Governor. He was several times one of
the selectmen of Bristol, and represented
that own in the Legislature OF 1925. 1883,
1884 and 1887; in 1854 he represented Heb
rom, and in 1885 and 1880 represented

Politically, Mr.. Berry acted with the
Democratic party for twenty-five years, and
was a delegate to the Democratic National
Convention in Baltimore in 1910, but the
action of this convention on the question of
slavery caused him to sever his party ties,
and he became one of the foremost organ
izers Of the Free Soil party in New Hamp-
shire. At the first State convention of this
party In 1845 he was nominated for Gover-
nor and received votes enough to prevent an
election by the People. He continued the
when he declined a denomination.
Mr.. Berry lived for six years in Milwaukee
with a daughter, Mrs. Emeline Morse, who
died a few years ago. He leaves n son.

WAS BRIsOo MURDERED7

James v. lombard, the Italian barber, at
No. 302 Henderson street, who was a friend
OF Anthoy Brisco, whose dead body was
found on the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks,
near Deans station yesterday, stated to q
NEWS reporter this morning that he believed
Brisco had been murdered. He declared that
Brisco had quarreled with an Italian at
Deans station about three weeks ago. Two
weeks ago Brisco was in jersey City. and he
told Lombardi that the Italian who had
managed his farm at Deans station had
stolen all his tools and farming Implements
and sold them to another Italian. Brisco
caused q warrant to be issued for the latter's
arrest on a charge Of receiving goods.
After imparting this information, Brisco
borrowed a double barrelled shot gun from
Angelo r. De Sevo, one Of Lombardi's as
sistants. Since then he was not seen nor
heard tell of until his body was found on the
tracks yesterday.

THE MAN GOULD TALK.
And His Glib Tongue Helped Him In
Els Syvindiing schemes.

A clever swindler was arrested in Hoboken
last night, in the person of Frederick w.
Runty, thirty years old, of No. 107 Second
street, that city. The complainants against
him were Bernard Sach of No. 13I Hudson
street, and Fritz Tanger of No. 217 River
street. Runty is a glib talker, and in his
tricky transactions made good use of that
requirement. His plan was to make pro-
positions to storekeepers to sell them out to
a customers, who would give them fabulous
prices. He would talk himself into their
pocket books, and would extract sums rang
ing from So to SIS before he left. The last
mar he visited, Tanger, swallowed the talk,
but couldn't digest It. He called Policeman
Condor, who arrested the swindler. He
was held for the Grand Jury by Recorder
McDonough. There are no less than a dozen
victims whs will swear that he feeced them.

TIE WHITTIER HOUSE.
Miss bradford Has Leased the Clark
EaSuse on Grand Street.

EhNuse on GRAND street.
That the Whittier House is no longer an
experiment is proved by the fact that Miss
Bradford's House Committee has voted to
rent the large Clark house, No. ia Grand
street, for one year, with the option of buy
ing at the expiration of that time. The
money for the house has come all from OUT
side friends, Jersey City thus far having
contributed the muni6cent sum of SIS. Help
of other kinds, however, has not been want
ing, and it is hoped that soon a hundred peo-
pie will pledge $25 each for the furnishing
and support of the Whittier House. The
Jersey City Woman's Club will probably
vote to help in this work.
The lease for the new house will be signed
today, and early next week Miss Bradford
will take possession.

BERLIN, Feb. 6.-The reichetag de-
bate on the Russo German commercial
treaty was opened by Won Mirbsch, on
behalf OF the Conservatives. He gave
an explanation of the reasons which
had decided the party not to support the
government, contending that the treaty
would prove an injury to German hus-
bandry, greater than the advantages
which could possibly follow its passage.
Won Bieberstein declared German
manufacturers and merchants secured,
under the treaty, an inestimsble boon /;
husbandry profited nothing by the
present customs tariff, and the agrarians
should direct their efforts toward in
fusncing the federal government in
favor Of practical solicitude for German
husbsndry. The government could not
surrender at discretion to the demands
OF the agrsrians.
Count Won Moltke opposed the treaty
In the name of the Imperialists.
Rlchart urged the adoption OF the
treaty, saying the entrance OF Russia
into the European commercial commu-
nifty would have important conse-
quences. The house then adjourned.
1t ia estimated that the treaty will be
adopted by majority OF 80 to 40.
