Having gone thus far II the matter.

Having gone thus far in the matter,
Dick began to bring some other ques-
tons up for consideration. There was
just one little point that he could not
get over. but he had hopes that 1t
mig hit be adjusted with satisfaction to
both; that is, # she would consent to
| listen to reason. This block in the
way of Dicks happiness was nothing
less than the fact that Mrs. Rudd was
the possessor OF and kept four head Of
horses on her claim. This was. Dick
reasoned with himself, piece of folly
that nothing could justify.
Thar amt one blessed turn for
them hosses to do this livelong winter"
he muttered to himself, in state Of
irritability. .What can the woman
mean? A whole herd NV bosses ter

He would speak to her regarding this
matter, and have her dispose of the
useless stock. He was fully deter
mined on that point. The opportunity
to breach the subject soon came. The
two were sitting before Mrs Rudd's
cheerful fire.
"I'm afraid this is going to be q
hard winter" she said, land, as you
know, stock suffers so in this west
ern country. where there are no good
barns"
"Of course ye're goin' ter sell them
hosses?' said Dick.
why, whatever made you think
that?' she asked.
Il can't see what'd meek me think
anything else" answered Dick, with
some animation.
"Well, since have no intention Of
selling them" she replied, calmly, 1--WE
may as we'll drop the subject"
He sat staring stupidity at the
woman, trying to realize the full inn
port of her words. He move uneasily
in his chair, his hands thrust deep into
his pockets.
This positive declaration served to
amaze Dick Holton, as well as to
render him speechless for the time
being. During his forty-tive years of
bachelorhood he had learned to look.
upon woman as a weak, yielding
creature, who wa ever ready to sub

learning his error. He had set hi

red in the face.
''Oh, the horses! You must be mis-
taken; their heads were all in their
proper places when saw them last"

Dick, his pent-up anger finding vent.

A teacher was wanted at the village,

Jennie Robinson and Sokolow-
ski Senteneed-A Strange
Contrast.

Justice Lippincott this morning imposed
upon Jennie Robinson and Franz Sokolowsh
both of whom were convicted this week Of
murder in the second degree. The prisoners
were br ought into court by Under Sheriff
Erwin and Constable Henry. The young
negress, who for some time stood in the
shadow of the gallows, was as debonaire as
ever and greeted the court officers with i
pleasant smile. Sokolowski presented a
totally different appearance. His face bore
trouble look and he seemed to be i'll at
ease
The slayer of Charles w. Pepper was sem
fenced first. When told to stand up she
arose in her seat and smiled pleasantly at the
court. ''You have been convicted. said
Judge Lippincott, "of murder in the second
degree. Under the laws of this State, the
punishment should be the maximum penalty

is that you be confined in State Prison for
the period of twenty years and thence until

A smile hovered about the lips of the
prisoner while the judge was speaking As
he concluded she bowed her head in ac-
acknowledgement and sat down again grinning
broadly.
Sokolowski then received the same punish
ment and the two were remanded back to
jail Sokolowski went out with his head

A FOE TO LABOR
Griggs' Neighbor, Mr.. z. M.
Ward Tells Workingmen
Where the Republican
Candidate Stands.

A rousing mass meeting was held at st.
Bridget's Hall last evening under the auspi-
ces of the Fifth Ward Democratic Club.
The hall was crowded to the doors and
among those present were noticed many Re-
publicans Laboring men predominated.
James D. Manning, whom the Republicans
have been counting upon to turn a few votes
over to their side, displayed his loyalty to
his party by officiating as chairman, and in
opening the meeting he paid a glowing trib-
ute to Chancellor McGill. Chairman Man
ming introduced as the first speaker, Hon.
e. NJ Ward of Paterson. who said in part:
s'Mr. Griggs has never done thing or
said word in the interest of the working
classes. He proved himself false to the
promises he made to the workingmen of Pas
sale, by whose votes he was sent to the Leg
isiature He always voted against labor
interests, and declared their petitions to be
the first step toward anarchy. | need not

labor questions. You as worklngmen have

protect the infant labor of our State. Chill
dren employed in our factories were in con-
slant danger of being MANNED or killed
through their ignorance of the workings of
intricate machinery. The intent of this
bill was to have the children instructed
regarding the dangerous machinery 50
that they would be able to work in its vicin-
itv with safety Now could any right
minded man object to that measure? Yet
what did Mr. Griggs do? He voted against
it. He also voted against the bill compelling

Mr.. Ward said that the men who run the
Republican party are dangerous to free in

THIRTY YEARS IN STATE PRISON
Grfggs Alone Refused TO Sign the
PefifIon for Pardon.


Tn April. 1860, Jos. P. Stewart, colored,
was convicted of murder in the first de-
gree. and sentenced tosbe hanged in July,
1860. The circumstances of the case were
as follows: Stewart and another boy of
his age "a years. went fishing in a creek
at Woodbury., Gloucester county. The boy
with Stewart was Alex. Craig. Stewart
said the boy fell in the water, went
through a sluiceway and was drowned.
After Stewart was convicted Gov. Olden
granted him a reprieve and afterward
his sentence was commuted to imprison>
ment for life.
The Court of Pardons was appealed to
by the jury who convicted him and the
Judge who sentenced him, and by the best
citizens of Gloucester county. The par
don was refused.
Some years later another effort was
made by a gentleman in Trenton. The
Legislature was appealed to- This gentle
man secured each and every name of the
Members and Senators, with the excep-
ton of John W. Griggs then Senator
from Passaic. He refused to sign the pc.
tition, saying that the tniggar' should
have been hung in the first place: He
was appealed to again to be merciful to
this poor, friendless colored man, when
he again refused. The remark was made
to him that he might have use for these

TO suppose that he would have voted to

COMMIT TEE
CONFIDENT.

Everything bears a confident aspect at
the Democratic Headquarters in Taylor's
Hotel today. Reports received from the
chairmen of the various County Com
mittees are very encouraging and all
predict the election of Chancellor Nc
Gill. Louis r. Braun. member of the
State Committee for Passaic, says that
the Republicans will be much surprised
when the vote of that county is counted.
He says Griggs cannot get over 1900
majority in Passaic. He divides the
county into three sections, the city of
Paterson. the city of Passaic and the six
townships. Paterson, he says, will
give him 700 Passaic 300 and the town
ships 800.
Calvin Murphy, the Democratic candi-
date for Sheriff in Somerset, was at
headquarters this morning, and said that
his county would give McGill small
majority and elect the entire county
ticket. He denied that there was any
deal on hand for giving Griggs ma
jorfty. He said that such thing was
impossible Senator Cornish brought
good news from Warren, and Paul Queen
predicted at least 1000 for the Chance1-
lor in Hunterdon Ex-senator Baker of
Vineland spoke for South Jersey, and de-
clared that the First and Second Con-
gressional districts would prove another
disappointment to the Griggs men and
would not give them anywhere near
the large majority they are claiming.
The same was said of Mercer by Cen
eral Donnelly. who predicted that the
good work the Democrats have been do
ing in the county would keep the Griggs
majority from getting above 1000.
Chairman Young is confident that Nc
Gill will be elected by at least 5000 ma
jority. He says that the committee has
done efficient work which has not ap-
peared upon the surface yet, and would
not until the votes were counted Tues

BO|LERMAKERS
FOR NJ GILL

At special meeting of the Jersey City
Grand Council of the National Brotherhood
of Boiermakers and Iron Shipbuilders,
which was called for the express purpose OF
indorsing candidates known to be favorable
to honest legislation, upright methods in
politics and in sympathy with united labor
in its efforts to secure an equitable ADJUST
ment of the labor question, it was deter
mined, after careful scrutiny of the past
records of the different candidates seeking
the suffrage of the public, that there are
none whose actions were so disinterested,
free from bias and the influence of monopo-
lies and trusts while in the service of the
people than the present Democratic candi-
date for Governor, Alexander T. McGill.
Therefore we call upon our co-laborers and
fellow workingmen of every shade of polit-
ical thought to support the man whose ac-
tions land we want men of action proclaim
him to be the friend. not only of united
labor, but the oppressed of all classes.
