has a Barbara Aub case which resem-
bles it's famous New York prototype in
almost every respect. AT the last meet
ing of the Board of Pardons, held in
Jersey City. on Thursday, application
was made for the pardon of Charles
Atkinson, of Camden County, who was
convicted of rape, and in July, 1884, SEN
fenced to State Prison for ten years
The complainant against him was his
stepdaughter, Mamie Miller, then about
eighteen years old. Mamie had, always
been wild girl, and had acquired the
habit iof remaining away from her
home over night and had in other ways
become SO incorrigible that she was f.
nally committed to the Industrial School
for Girls here at Trenton. After
while she appeared to become subdued
and her general conduct was such that
she was released from the school and
went back to her stepfather's home in
Camden.
She was not there long before she re-
lapsed into her cid ways and 1T became
necessary to send her to the school,
which is a mild name for the girls re-
form school. Just before she was sent
back to the school she made the charge
-
against Atkinson and he was convicted.
She was sent back to the school ana

the prison begging her to tell the truth
and save him. She pondered over the

TRENTON, Dec. "a, 1S95.-Bernard j.
Ford, ex-Superintendent of the State
House. indicted in this county for frauds
and conspiracy as a consequence of the
revelations made last spring by the Sem
ate Investigating Committee, and who
has been fugitive since last February,
surrendered today. The news that he in
tended to do SO leaked out yesterday.
AT precisely twelve o'clock this morn
ing his once familiar figure was seen
at the County Court House door. Be-
side him stood his counsel, Joseph Coult
and ex-senator Michael T. Barrett of
Newark, and behind him appeared Will
lam S. Keghn, a Trenton contractor,
who had agreed to become his bonds
man. Judge Woodruff was on the bench
and a criminal trial was in progress.
Ford walked falteringly to a seat with
in the bar enclosure. He was pale and
trembling and his features We're drawn,
suffered severe Illness. The trial in
progress was suspended at the request

dictnlents against him. four for false

his trial was set down for FEBRUARY ~

malities were over in a few moments,
and Ford was again at liberty in New

Counsel Barrett said that notwitlhstand-
ing the report some months ago that
Ford had visited his home in Newark
by stealth. it was a fact that he had
not stepped foot on Jersey soil since
his departure for Florida last winter.
He came direct to the Court House from

LANCASTER, Pa, Dec. "a, 1857. r.
Diffenderfer, of the New Era editorial
staff yesterday forwarded to Secretary
of State Olney little volume, discov-
cred among books in his possession, which
will doubtless prove of value in the pres
ent difficulty with England This book
is volume 80 of Jardine's naturalists' lib
rary, published in Edinburgh, Scotland,
in 1843. 1t is a treatise on the fishes
of Guiana, written by Robert Hermann
Schomburgk, who surveyed the boundary
line on which Great Britain now POUNDS
her claim to such a large share of terri
tory belonging to Venezuela.
Pref1xed to the book is a memoir of
nearly a hundred pages, including a
lengthy account of his operations in
Guiana and Venezuela between the years
1885 and 1889. It is this part of the vol
une which may prove important to the
Boundary Commission authorized by
Congress.
On September 20, 1888, Schomburgk and
a party of explorers sailed up the TAX
utu River and entered the Mahu in a
village on which steram they remained
several days, the guests of the Indians.
Continuing his account of the journey,
schomburgk says
AT length the column was put in
marching order, the coxswain at the head,
carrying the British Union flag, under
which they had been marching for the
last three years through hitherto un-
known parts of Guiana. Now it was to
lead them beyond the British bound
aries, into regions known only to the
copper colored Indian; but they were
animated with the hope of returning,
for the first time, from this side of the
Continent, the point which Baron Hum
boldt had in 1soo after many difficult
ties, arrived at from the westward,
namely, Esmeraldo, on the Orinoco"
This shows that whatever surveys or
lines Schomburgk may have made after
wards, in 1888 and 1899, he admitted that
that territory was alien to the British.

WALL STREET FRIGID.

NEW YORK, Dec. a. 18S5-Affair5 in
Wall street returned today to about
their normal conditions, and the chief
point of interest was the outcome of
the visit to Washington Of Mr.. J. Pier
pont Morgan. In view of the state of
the Treasury's gold balance and the
fact that Mr.. Morgan was the execu-
tive of the last Government bond syn
dicate, Wall street had no doubts of its
ability to guess why Mr.. Morgan had
gone to Washington. It being assumed
that the object of his trip was to con-
FER. and. if possible, arrange with the
President and Secretary Carlisle for a
new issue of bonds. interest centered
in the ways and means by which the
loan would be foated. The idea that
an announcement of the closing of the
negotiations between the Government
and Mr.. Morgan might Soon be forth
coming, proved stimulating to the stock
market, which opened and continued
strong.
There was no traces OF tine war scare.
so far as the market was concerned,
and the dealings on the exchange went
on in their usual orderly manner. London
houses had orders both to buy and sell.
and the trading from this quarter had
no decided effect on prices.
The air of excitement which had been
evident in the Street since last Tuesday
was no longer present. There was no
more conjecture as to who would fall
next, and. in short, after week that
will not be soon forgotten. Wall street
seemed to have come to the conclus sion
that there was no use IN spoidng Christi

THAT WANToN STRIKE.
Philadelphia is Many Thousands
% .orer by The Traction Tie-Up.


PHILADELPHIA, Dec. "a, 1Ss5.-The
settlement last night of the strike of the
motormen and conductors of the Union
Traction Company, which was inaugu-
rated week ago today, was followed
this morning by a complete resumption
of traffic on all lines of the Union Trac-
ton system. The city has again as
sumed normal appearance, the cordons
of mounted police, which gave material
aid in quelling riotous disturbance dur
ing the past week, have been dismissed
and policemen are no longer acting as
guards on trolley cars That the revival
of the street car service was welcomed
was evidenced by the crowds who used
the cars this morning in going to their
places of business.
During the progress of the strike
PhiladeEphians went to and from their
every vehicle in the city being pressed
into use Today this impromptu service
gave way to the trolley cars. While the
strike has been particularly depiored be
cause of its occurrence at the holiday
season. the merchants in general losing
large amounts through the inability of
patrons to reach the stores, still the fact
that the service has been restored on the
day before Christmas is pleasing to buy
ers and sellers alike.
conductors who have been engaged by
the company since the strike, manned
cars this morning, but majority OF the
cars were in charge of old employees
The monetary damage to the company :
Wholly by sympathizers of the strikers,
has not yet been computed, but 1t WIZ
amount to thousands of dollars.
