SEVEN YEARS FOR FLAHERTY.

Eicted Priest Refused.

GENESEO, N. Y, Oct. 8, 1S95.-The last
scene in the trial of Rev. Charles Flah-
erty was enacted this morning when
the defendant was arraigned in court for
sentence Immediately after the conven-
ing of court at eight o'clock District At
torney Carter moved that sentence be
imposed upon Flaherty.
Mr. Raines moved for a new trial on
the ground that the Court had misdi-
rected the jury in matters of law which
the defense had taken exception to on
the trial; and on the ground that the
aware from the start, he said, of a pre-
judicial element in the. jury box; that ne
desired to procure and present affidavits
on these points and asked for delay
the verdict could not stand
The motion was denied and Judge Nor
ton said that the defendant had been
convicted after most remarkable. trial
FIaherty was asked if he had anything
to say why sentence should not be pro
nounced and he said II am innocent
of this charge and have been unj9stly
onstrated by the testimony and the YER
dict of the jury is contrary to the evil
dence."

DEMOCRATS PROTEST..
Another Election Trick Of the
Bumptious City Clerk-An
Insult to Voters.

About thirty voters of the Fourtn
preeinct Ninth ward, filed a protest Win
the Aldermen at their meeting last nlght
against the location of a polling place
in the rooms of the Bergen Republican
Club at No. 544 Bergen avenue.
The designation of a Republican clup
as polling place is the work OF the
bumptious City Clerk, Edward Woolley.
He was. it is said, prompted to make
the designation by Ex-Captain Jack
Graham. Graham has moved on the
Hill. His departure from down town
was hailed with joy by down town Re
publicans, and his advent on the Hill
has caused sorrow. He has began to
show his hand already.
IT IS AN INSULT.
The protesting voters declare that it
Is an insult to ask them to go to Re
publican club house to vote. They say
that it looks like a well laid plan to dis
franchise voters.
Another reason for objecting to the To-
cation is that it is in a remote corner OF
the precinct, and almost difficult of ac-
cess to Democrats who, under the new
lines are jammed up in one corner.
OF COURSE IT IS.
They also declare that the designation
of the club house is scheme to put
money in the hands of the club to be
used for election purposes or to pay
rent.
Under all the years of Democratic
government such trick was never prac-
ficed," say remostrators.
City Clerk Woolley became excited as
he read the communication. 1t was re-
forred for investigation. 1t will doubt
less be pigeon-holed and Democratic vot-
ers will be compelled to submit to the
insult of voting in a Republican club
house and also to the inconvenience
of reaching the place.
The City Clerk also has a polling
place between two saloons ON Montgom-
ery street, contrary to law.
The designation of polling places this
year is a trick which is warranted to dc
the Republicans more harm than the
good the bumptious City Clerk had an
ticipated.

To the Editor of the jersey City News:
Jersey City. N. j., October 9, 1895.
Being urged by many friends to enter
the field as a candidate for the nominal
ton of Assemblyman from the Fifth
district, l made a personal canvass of
that part of the city and found to my
surprise that my success would be al
most certain There are many reasons,
however, why should decline this honor
at this time I fear that it may inter-
fere with business and other engage
ments, and because of this / am re-
luctantly compelled to withdraw from
the field with many thanks to those who
promised me their support.

CAT GOES TO CHURCH.

One of the Harmless Sources OF Pride In q
Michigan Village.
Jack is the name of Maltese cat OF
the Sir Thomas variety, whose home is
in the little town of Milan, sort OF
suburb to the city of Ann Arbor, Mich.
Jacks penchant is going to church
every Sunday: He is good Presby-
terian, and turns up his aristocratic
Thomas nose if any of the family tries
to tempt him into any other than the
Presbyterian church
Jacks church-going proclivities date
from period about three years ago.
His mistress started to church one Sun
day morning, and not until she was at
the door Of the edifice did she observe
that Jack was trotting along at her
heels. 1t was late, and the organ was
pealing out the first hymn of the serv-
ice, SO to turn back was out of the
question.
will you be good boy, Jack, if
take you in church with me?" and
Jack nodded as though he understood.
lie was picked up and concealed IN
der his mistress cloak and carried into
the church and deposited on a seat in
the pew. There he sat quietly and de-
murely throughout the entire service,
purring to himself in perfectly hap
py and contented manner and as If he
enjoyed the novelty. Unlike many OF
the deacons Jack did not once go to
sleep, either, but remained awake and
alert until the benediction was said.
The services over Jack was again
hidden away under his mistress
wrap and carried out of church and 10
one knew that he had been present.
Long before the hour for going to
church came around, the following
Sunday, Jack washed himself, licked
his feet in more than usually careful
manner, and strutted around his mis-
tress, brushing against her skirts and
purring.
When she left the house to go to
church Jack followed at her heels, and.
as on the Sunday before, he was carried
to his place in the pew under the pro-
tecting wing of his mistress cape.
From that Sunday until the present
day Jack, every Sunday, has gone to
church and taken his accustomed place
in the family pew. Nor does he have
to be carried in any more. He walks
in now just like any regular attendant,
Jumps into his seat, and settles him

the incest part of the whole job and

thing to do is to hammer down the

of the gate, close to the opposite end
from the latch. If you don't put it
very near the edge the gate will ''bindn

other pin in the upper edge, directly
opposite the lower pin. Then lay the
house on its back, the open side up, and
place the gate in the position you want
it. The gate should be about half an
inch from the bottom of the pen so
piggy can't get under it. Now very
carefully drive two of your staples into
the edge of the box just above and be-

pins. Don't drive them too far at first.
