Died Suddenly Saturday, at Her Home
on North Pearl Street.

Died Suddenly Saturday, at Her Home
on North Pearl Street.
The aged Mrs. Henrietta Potter Seeley.
widow of the late Samuel Ward Seeley,
died suddenly at her home Saturday,
aged nearly 50 years.
Mrs. Seeley has been sick for about
three weeks, with what her attending
physicians said was rheumatism. Her
death was due to heart disease, from
which she has suffered for year past.
Yesterday morning she was bright and
cheerful, however, but about one o'clock
she was taken worse. She continued to
grow worse until this morning when she
suddenly expired.
Mrs. Seeley's mother was sister of the
late James B. Potter; she has resided in
this city all of her long life; her husband,
the venerable S. Ward Seeley, died less
than two years ago, at great age. Two
sons, Robert NJ. Seeley and c. Henry
Seeley, survive her.

THEY VISITED HIM.
Howard Shun Receives His Wife and
Mother.


When Howard Shull leaves the county
Jail he will journey to Trenton and he
will remain in the State Prison for twelve
years. He has served term there before,
and he will thus lose the usual time off
allotted for good behavior.
And yet Shull seems to take his dose
with remarkable nerve, and even jests
about it, while others with only year TO
serve are very much depressed.
Shull is thoroughly bad man and has
been wanted for good while by various
State authorities. He seems to have iden-
tilted with many crooked jobs.
Tuesday the criminal was visited by
his old mother, his wife and baby girl
of about two years. The little party was
weeping pretty much all the time, while
the innocent child was gazing on in open
mouth wonder. Twelve years separated
the husband seemed like an eternity to
the wife, and yet she begged Shull to be
good and hope for pardon some time.
He was rather skeptlcal, and said many
things that were unkind to the poor
woman. He declared that he would get
out some time ifhe did not die, and if his
wife had married somebody else, he might
| be able to find some other woman.
| Shull will be within the prison bars
this week, and dull dreary twelve years
will be staring him in the face. Now a
young man of thirty-two, when liberated
middle-aged man of forty-four.

SAD AFFLIOTION.

The Sudden Death of Bright Young Boy.
merly Matte Woodruff, daughter of the
late Uriah Woodruff, was visiting in this
city at the old homestead, corner OF Pearl
and Washington streets. The lady is well
known here as a former successful public
school teacher. Accompanying her upon
the visit to Bridgeton was her fifteen
year old son, and he will be remembered
by friends as being prepossessing and
popular young fellow.
In the issue of the Henderson, Ken
lucky, Daily Cleaner Oct. 18th, the fol-
lowing sad intelligence is published
About noon recess at the High School
yesterday the boys were engaged in play
ing what is known as LAP Jacket"
Among the number was Frank Mayer, q
bright young man of fifteen years of age,
son of the late Jacob F. Mayer. Frank
was engaged amusing himself climbing
overland rope. He had gone up few
feet and was letting himself down when,
in few feet of the ground, he suddenly
let go and fell. Failing to get up, his
comrades went to him and found, to their
amazement, that the little fellow was in
some way seriously affected. The alarm
was given and Doctors Thompson, Dixon
and Letcher were soon with him, but too
late, life was then extinct. The body was
soon after removed to the home of his
! mother, Mrs. Matte Mayer, on Lower
Green street."
The Cleaner follows with splendid
notice of the abilities ofthe boy, and notes
the sadness of the host of friends who
mourn his untimely death.

THE PRISONERS.
Some of Them are Taking Their Sentences
Hard.

Some of Them are Taking Their Sentences
Hard.
Some of the prisoners who were Mon
day sentenced by the Court, are not tax
ing their punishment very cheerfully
Sam Housand is sdisconsolate. He walked
up and down the corridor Monday after
noon like Gagged lion, and anyone who
came in his way was not pleasantly re-
ceived, Daniel Scull and Bert Ross are
taking their sentences very hard, espec-
tally Ross. All three of these men are
expert glass workers and capable of MAX
ing big money, but yet they fell to ordi-
nary chicken thieving.
Howard Shull, the young bandit, will
remain in prison for twelve years. That
is pretty long sentence, but Shull has
been bad man. 80,
In all there were seventeen persons
sentenced to prison. By next Monday
there will be three boys to take to the Re-
form School. That is quite job for the
Sheriff. Seventeen is the biggest lot of
prisoners ever sentenced in this Court at
one time to the State Prison. During
Sheriff Shaw's time there were thirteen
sentenced at one time.
The sentence of the chicken thieves will
prove wholesome lesson, and there will
likely be less poultry stolen in this
locality for some time.

WOULDN'T INDORsE M'GILL.
The Essex County Democratic League Re-
volts from Party Ranks.

NEWARK, Oct. 1.-THE Essex County
Democratic League at meeting last
evening refused to indorse the nomina-
ton of Chancellor McGill for Governor.
At a meeting of the league week ago
Colonel Fleming endeavored to get
through resolution favorable to McGil,
but failing, asked for a postponement of
their final decision one week. During
the week he worked hard, but accom-
plished little. Out of regard for Colonel
Fleming the league would not openly
indorse Griggs, but passed resolution,
refusing to indorse anybody.
The Essex League controls at least 5000
independent Democrats in various parts,
of the State, besides having q large local
following. This action is claimed by
well-informed politicians to decide Jer-
sey's election. Over three-fourths of the
league members say they will. vote for
GriggS.

HORNER'S DISAPPEARANCE.
1t is Causing Lots of Trouble Among Good
Neighbors.

IL Is causing Lots OF Trouble Among Good
Neighbors.
The disappearance of Elwood Horner
from his farm at Palatine is causing lots
of trouble and lawsuits are likely to
grow out of it.
Horner lived on the farm of John
Turner; he was son-in-law of Thomas
Munyon, who is familiarity known as
Buffalo Bilr' from his hearty, rough
and ready appearance.
Horner was heavily in debt, and had
several endorsers about town here, to his
paper in bank, and Munyon seems to
have been given the bag to hold, being
one of the endorsers. To secure himself
Munyon took charge of the crops of his
son-in-law on the Turner farm and when
Turner attempted to seize them also,
there was red hot trouble Immediately.
Both sides have now employed lawyers
and the crops are likely to rot in the fields
while the couple fight it out by the law.
