A COLD eLooOED MURDER.
A Chinaman Stabbed by Bis Country
men this Morning. The Guilty
Parties Probably Arrested.

A cold-blooded murder Yas committed
on Front street this morning a little
after IL o'clock. Lock Woo, a chinaman
who does janitor work in different sa-
looms was stabbed near the heart and
received wound from which he died at
3 O'Clock this morning. Parties sitting
on Baldwin's corner saw four Cinnamon
crossing the street between Frazier's
barber shop and the old Snyder restaur-
ant. When near the doorway of the
latter place, two of the men suddenly
seized a third while the remaining one
plunged knife into the struggling vic.
tim 8 side. Instantly the perpetrators
fed, leaving the wounded man with the
knife blade sticking in his body. The
chinaman staggered into the house and
drew from his flesh the murderous steel.
By this time the proprietor of the house
was awakened and with the coming of
several people, Doctors Doane and
Sutherland were summoned. When
the physicians arrived the chinaman
was still perfectly conscious and as the
doctor took his pulse said, ''Maybe 1 die
now" Instantly perceiving the mortal
nature OF the wound, the doctors were
anxious to have the proper parties
identified if possible. City Marshal
Blakeney, with several men assisting,
took hurried description of the aesaiI-
ants and proceeded first to Skibbe's
hotel, where is shed in the rear, they
found chinaman hid in the hay. He
was wide awake and had every appear
ance of having been recently running.
The man, whose English name is Harry,
was brought in the presence of Lock
Woo, who instantly identified him as
the man who did the stabbing. Further
search discovered a chinaman called Jim
Six, described as one of those who held
Lock Woo while Harry used the knife.
The wound caused was fearful one. The
physicians administered morphine and
made the man as comfortable as possi-
ble till death came, little after 5
O'Clock. The blade entered just below
the heart and penetrated to depth of
over three inches. In making arrests
the officers found it necessary to take
several men, who, while it is not be-
lieved had anything to do with the ac-
tive murder, may yet be able to throw
some light on the occurrence. This
morning there were six men in the CITY
Jail and one confined in the county jail.
The dead man, who also went by the
name of Ket, was about 20 years old and
bore a peaceable disposition. He was
industrious, and as far as known, made
no contention among the Chinese ele-
ment. There is no assignabIe motive
for the deed. The two men. who are
| suspected of doing the killing, are hard
looking characters and are disposed to
be sullen and have little to say regarding
their actions last night. Harry has
been employed in Skibbe's hotel, while
Jim Six has done odd jobs of janitor
work around town. The inquest will be
held sometime during the day, at which
further evidence may be produced. The

EDITOR CHRoNIcLE-As I have never
seen any items from this neighborhood,
thought L would send you one. which
is of great Importance to US in this COM
munity, and hope it will interest others.
During the past week Rev. J. w. Jen-
kins and family and Father G. Fl. Bar
nett and wife have been visiting the
family of G. F. Arnold, and during the
time Rev. Jenkins preached five excel
lent discourses, preaching in the house
in the evening and in the grove near by
in the afternoon. Great interest was
manifested, and a move is already on
foot for the erection of church build
ing. Plans have been made, and about
one-fourth the eamount subscribed. The
house will be 24x34 feet, and cost about
5000, outside of the labor, which will be
done mostly by donation. Ground has
been donated by G.. F. Arnold on which
to erect the building, and a suitable
place selected. The house will be open
to all orthodox denominations.

affair does not seem to create much ex-
citement in China quarters and there is
a mysterious air about it which leads to
the impression that high-binder work is
at the bottom of it. Some of the Chinese
secret societies probably have hand in
the killing.

cued. Ii should have remained there.
The bill for the relief of Major Ramon
Pico, which was introduced the first week
of the session, has not yet passed the
Legislature, being still on the Senate file.
There seems to be no doubt of the merit
of the claim, as it has been shown
clearly that Major Pico spent his own
money freely in fitting out his battalion
in defense of the Union during the re-
bellion. 1t cost him $3.50 to do this,
putting up the money in $50 gold pieces
at time when the Federal money was
worth less than 40 cents on the dollar.
The Major had money then, as we'll as
youth, valor and patriotism. Now, in
the evening Of his life. when the shad-
ows are lengthening along his pathway,
and he is no longer young nor wealthy
when the State enjoys the possession of
valuable property given it by his father,
General Pico, which would otherwise
have been hist seems only just that the
State should reimburse him for his actual
outlay in money.

Middlesex County Democratic convention
was held in the Assembly rooms in this
city yesterday, W. H. Price calling the con-

Daily was chosen as Chairman and War

The nominees selected were EPhraim

The convention was very enthusiastic,
and before adjournment Senator w. y.
DAILY. addressed the delegates. He was
merciless in his a-rralgnnent of the
Republican party for the partisan acts
of the last Legislature, and elected APP
plause and cheers in advocating the sup
pert of Chancellor McGill. He bitterly
attacked Griggs for his eourse in oppos-
ing the passage of the Labor Day plll.
Senator Daly's unquestioned familiarity
with the passage and reyoking OF the Ia
Dor acts had a profound impression on
his hearers. The@Voorhees' Committee
came in for a severe handling, as did une
Republicans in general, for interfering
with the riparian rights act, judiciary
ing he predicted Democratic success and
said he looked to see Middlesex redeem
herself at the polls on election day

followed Senator Daily in a few well
chosen remarks.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 16. lS95.-At
The session of the New Jersey Presby-
terrain Synod, held here today, the most
Important business was the reading OF
the report of the Committee on Synodi-
cal Home Missions by the Rev. John
Dixon of Trenton The report presented
no new features, but was encouraging
throughout.
The money raised for the work during
the year footed up SIG, 413.04-more than
81, $50 in excess of the largest sum pre-
viously received in any n year. Part
of the credit is due to the Young Peo-
pies Societies.. The organization of m
Italian Church at Hammonton is noted,
and the condition financially of various
churches throughout the State is dwelt
upon with satisfaction. The Presby-
teries of Elizabeth, Jersey City and New
ton ask for increased allotments and
the committee think the request should
be granted.
A work for the colored people of
Elizabeth also needs help, as does also
that for the same race at Paterson. The
officers for the past year are thanked for
their assiduity and the committee hope
the Synod will ask them to consent to
serve another year.

A Negro Ffand Lynched for Many
Assaults ON

OA
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. Is, 1S95.-Jeff
Ellis, the negro who committed an as
sault on Miss Prater, near Braden, was
lynched near the scene of his crime at
midnight by a mob of citizens who form
ed by a procession and escorted hin tothe
scene of his crime to be forcibly identi-
fed by his victim before being put to
death. His ears and fingers were cut
off and he was otherwise mutilated and
then hanged to a telegraph pole.
After a rapid flight and r~esolute pur
suit of min days, resulting in his cap
ture, Monday morning at an obscure saw
mill, eighteen miles from Hollow Springs,
Miss, in a swampy strip of country, Ell

his crime. In charge of a strong guard
he was escorted from Mount Pleasant,

Monday night to Galloway, in Fayette
County, this State, arriving here at
Hundreds Of citizens, white and col
ored, had gathered at Galloway to hail
the return of the wretch whose doom
was sealed the moment he accomplished
his assault upon Miss Prater, a white
girl, near Braden on the morning of
October 5. Those who had collected made
no effort to deal with the prisoner at
once, the silent but common understand
ing being that summary punishment
would. be inflicted. Ellis maintained a
stoical indifference to his impsending

hearty supper and eat it with apparent
relish. He confessed to .is assault upon
Miss Prater, and also that he outraged
and murdered Mrs. John Bailey, a white
near Arlington, this county, three years
ago, and that he attempted an assault
upon a white girl whom he passed in
his flight on last Saturday morning.
