ST. JOHNS LADIES' FESTIVAL.

The Ladies' Aid Society of st. Johns
Episcopal Church of West Hoboken held a
lawn party last evening at the rectery on
Palisade avenue and Paterson Plank road.
The place is known as Sukley Park and is a
very beautiful spot. An excellent view of
New York and the harbor can be obtained
from the grounds, and it would be hard to
find a more desirable place for holding such
an affair.
The park was handsomely and tastefullv
decorated with flags and bunting, inter
spersed with Chinese lanterns. The decera-
tions wore by Warden Midgley. The ladies
who had the affair in charge, and to whom
its success is largely due, were Mrs. G. N.
Mead, wife of the rector, Mrs. Belitz, Mrs.
G. Midgley, Mrs. Tierney, Mrs. H.. Smith
and Mrs. Lawrens. During the evening re-
freshments were served by a bevy OF pretty
girls and there was dancing.

WHISKY AND BLOOD.
The Law characterization and Murder
Wesley warmers Fate.

Special 10 The Jcrsav C}UA enS.
TRENTON, June 10, lS94.-The Court OF
Errors and Appeals yesterday announced q
number of conclusions. 1t was expected
that they would decide the fate of two men
now confined in Jail under sentence OF DEATH
| They, however. only gave one decision, leav-
ing the otner for a future date. Ihey de-
cidod in the case of Wesley Warner, who
! killed Lizzie Peak, and who is now under
| sentence of death in the burlington County
| Jail, that he'should have no new trial,
Among the assignments of error in this
| case was one claiming that III intoxicated
| person cannot conceive an intent, and that
there being no inuent the degree should De
reduced from first to second degree; and
again, that the case was prejudleed by the
jury visiting the scene of murder, and thai
the convicted man was not asked whether ne
had anything to say when he was sentenced.
On these points the Court renders a very
pertinent and interesting conclusion, holding
as follows:-
L. If an intoxicated person has the capacity to
form an interest TO take life, and eoncelyes anu
executes such am intent. it is no ground for reduc,
ing the degree of his crime to murder IN the SECOND
degree, that he was induced to conceive ~ or 10 CON
ceive ii more suddenly by reason OF intoxlcatlon.
2. When the statutory intention TO XII e4isss, ~ y

8. When the Court had charged that II there wasa
reasonable doubt of the existence or any TACT essen
tial to constitute murder III the first degree, such
doubt must he resolved in faver OF the defendant.
1t was not error to refuse u request TO charge thatn
there was a reasonable doubt. whether a pafucuiar
fact. that is, an intent to kill, existing because OF
another particular fact, that is. intoxlcat1on, the
jury could not return a verdict in the hrst degree:
4. The act of the jury in going to the place OF the
homicide was irregular, but the defendant was not
pre1udiced thereby. It does not yitiate the veraict,
5. The reason for inquiring OF the prisoner pelore
Judgment in capital cases. If he has anything 70 say
why sentence should not be pronounced, mas dlsap-
peared since prisoners have been permitted 10 nave
counsel.
John Kocsis, who is in the Mercer County
Jail under sentence of death for killing
Mary Magallis, will have several weeks yet
to live. 1t was expected that a decision
would be rendered also yesterday, but his
case was not argued, but was submitted on
brief only, and in consequence it has not been
considered in conference, but may be at any
time.
Wesley Warner will probably be sentenced
on the Sd Of July. There will be a session
Of the Burlington County Court on that
day, and Law Judge Gaskill of Burlington
county, who was present when the decision
was rendered yesterday, notified Circuit
Justice Garrison of the fact, and If he SO
desired he could come TO Mount Holly on
that day and impose sentence. 1t is quite
probable that he will do SO.

HORSES IN A WRECK.
bad Smash Up on the Wisconsin
CentraI-Nen Hurt Too.

CHICAGO, June 10, 1894.-Four men were
badly injured and nine valuable horses killed
outright in a wreck on the Wisconsin Cen-
trail Railroad at Stillman Valley at twenty
minutes past eleven O'Clock last night. The
names of the injured are:-John Riley, legs
broken and body badly burned; John Lahey,
crushed in shoulder; H. F, Christian,
severely bruised; Michael Woods, arm
broken, spine hurt.
Nine valuable horses belonging to William
Roller and G. j. Kelley were killed outright.
They were valued at $40, 600. Seven others
were so badly injured that they may have to
be killed. They were from Hawthorne and
were on their way to Minneapolis.
The train left Chicago at eight o'clock last
night in charge of Conductor Thornton. AS
it was nearing the switch, near Stillman
Valley, the draw bars of one of the Burton
Palace horse cars broke, and falling on the
track, derailed five cars. Two of the cars
were filled with horses, the other three being
freight cars loaded with merchandise. A
lantern in one Of the Burton cars set fire to
the straw and in a few minutes the entire
car was in flames.

ing Organization.
The Myrtle Social Club, one of the strong
est clubs of its kind on the Heights, is suffer
ing from a cash in its harmony received at
the last meeting. On that occasion several
members, among them Vice President Ed
ward Rogers, handed in their designations.
Mr.. Rogers says there is no trouble and that
the only reason they had for getting out was
to form another organization, but why they
want to do this is unexplained. TIL seceders
met at the rooms of the Keystone Club last
Wednesday evening and formed the 'sTux-
edo Club" They will hold another meeting
tomorrow night and elect officers.
1t is said that the new
club will have from twenty to twenty-five
members. The remaining members Of the
Myrtle Club say they do not fear the new
organization, and that out of the forty
three members now in their club, not more
than five or six are likely to join the Tux
edds:
The remaining officers of the Myrtle Club
are President, Henry Shaw; Secretary, Miss
Jennie Madden; Treasurer, Miss Annie

CeIestiais Organizing to Wrest JUS
tiee from Congress-.
CHICAGO, June 10, 1894.-One hundred
and fifty of the most prominent members of
the Chinese colony in Chicago organized yes
terday a Chicago Chinese Club. which is to
cooperate with similar clubs to be formed
as O as possible in all the cities of the
United States where there are enough
Cinnamon to make it worth while.
The object of this national organization of
the Celestials is to agitate andbring pressure
to bear on the Congress of the United States
to the end that the rights and privileges of
citizenship may be granted to the Chinese.
In fact the organization formed on South
Clark street yesterday marks the birth Of a
Chinese political party, although the mem
bers nave not the power to vote.
The President of the club is Moy Kee, one
of Chicago's richest Cinnamon, who has the
distinction of being the first of his race to
apply for and obtain his first papers of nat
uralization. He was given them fourteen
years ago by a New York court, but when
he applied for his final papers of citizenship
he was refused and every year since he goes
before a judge and makes formal application
to be made an American citizen.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. In Science.

Graylt2taOn-SomSaIlOR In SCIENCE
SAN FRANCISCO, June 10, 1S94.-Robert
Stevenson, member of the Academy of Sci
ences, in a lecture before that body last even
ing declared that the true cause of gravity
had at last been discovered. Newton's theory
of e~entripetal force is proven to be simply a
delusion as complete as the ptolemaxic de
fusion of the motion Of the heavens.
According to the new theory there is no
need for an atherial medium to transmit
force or energy. as both can be made to pass
through a vacuum without any accompany
ing matter The lecturer stated that facts
stated already have been for several months
in the hands of Lord Kelvin. President of
the Royal Society, and according to this now
law any weight whatever, if given hori-
zontal velocity near the surface of the earth
is equal to l ,G36 feet per second, would never
fall to the earth.
If a disc of any weight. be rotated free in a
horizontal plane with resultant velocity. or
momentum of velocity equal to one thou
and and thirty-six feet per second, the disc
would lose all its weight; so that the con-
struction of flying machines is only q ques-
ton of engineering, skill and capital.

Prof Fosters Weather Predictions.

Ny last bulletin gave forecasts OF
the storm wave TO cross the continent
from June 25 TO 30, and the next will
reach the Pacific coast about the 10Th,
cross the western mountains by the
close of the 30th, the great central
valleys from July to and the eest-
ern states about the 4th.
This is danger period, but as it is
an earthquake date the storms may
be only moderate and the earth
quakes great, or the storms may be
great and the earthquakes moderate.
Seismic and atmospheric disturbances
of more than ordinary force and OF
wide extent may be econfidently looked
for by readers of these bulletins.
The warm wave preceding and
southeast of the low will develop ex.
treme heat and in the northern
states, the cool wave will cause a fall
of 20 to 40 degrees.
OF course earthquakes and lorna
does are expected only in countries
where they are common.
The warm wave will cross the west.
ern mountains about the Goth. the
great central valleys about July 1 and
the eastern states about July 3. The
cool wave will cross the western
mountains about July 2, the great
central valleys about the 4th and the
eastern states about the 9th.
The eastern states, lower lakes, up
per Ohio valley and the east Gulf
states will probably have threatening
weather, the great central valleys
cool and clearing and the western
mountains and Pacific coast from
moderating to warm and threatening
weather for the Fourth of July.
