ESSEX'S MONSTER.
STEAL.

From the Newark Evening News"
The Jersey City News" warns the
members of the local Board of Trade
that they have ahead of them the fight
of their lives this winter if they hope
to keep Harrison and Kearny in Hud-
son County. 1t predicts that the effort
to secure annexation to Essex will be
renewed with double energy at this ses>
sion of the Legislature. The "News"
realizes doubtless, that all the interests
of Harrison and Kearney would be served
by annexation with this county, and
therefore it seeks thus early to harden
the heart of the Jersey City Pharoahs
and persuade them not to let the peo-
pie CO. The prosperous and growing
communities just across the Passalc
River are bound to Newark by every
natural tie of interest and association,
but to escape the arbitrary boundary
lines of Hudson County is "a thing
that they will never be likely to accom-
plish if the rest of the county can pre-
vent it.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4, 1S95.-In the
Senate today Mr. Squire (Rep., Washo
in introducing a bill to provide forth
cations and other coast defences, al
luded sarcastically to patriotic speeches
to be delivered to the Senate in favor
of Cuabn independence and other such
subjects "as if we are able" he said,
.to carry chip on our shoulders, the
fact being he added, '"that of the 2s
coast cities of the United States, only
one of them, New York, had any ade-
quate defense, and even New York had
onicy oae-tenth of the means of defence
that she ought to have.

REED AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
The Speaker and the President Confer
ON Public RuSineSs.

WASHINGTON, Dec. a, 1895.-Speaker
Reed ropped in at the White House on
his way to the capitol. His call was
presumably anticipated, for he was at
once given an audience with the Presi-
dent. The Speaker remained a short
time. 1t is understood that the pur-
pose of his visit was to pay his respects
to the President and talk to him briefly
regarding public buiness.
There is no reason to change the pre-
diction made in the United Press des-
patches a week ago that the House Com
mittees will not be made public until the
18th instant, and probably not until the
eve of the holiday adjournment.
The pressure for committee assignment
still continues, but the Speaker has not,
SO far as can be learned, announced his
decision in any individual case. The ap-
phcations for places on the Rivers and
Harbors Committee are SO numerous
that it was jokingly suggested to Mr..
Reed today that he form the COMMITTEES
from THE list of those who have not ap-
plied-that there are just about enough
of these gentlemen left to make re-
spectacle committee.
The large number of contested election
cases, SO in all, is suggested as a reason
why the Elections Committee shall be
named at once.

ARE THEY THE WRECKERS?

BUFFALO, Dec. A. 1895.-The police ar
rested four men at East Buffalo this
morning, who, they suspect, were mem
bers of the gang that wrecked the Della
ware, Lackawanna & Western train at
Preble, near Cortland, last Sunday night.
When searched at the station house one
of them was found to have switch
key in his possession, while one of the
others had a Syracuse paper containing
an account of the wreck. The prisoners
gave the names of Lawrence Sherman,
twenty-five years old; Frank Fryo,
thirty; Anthony Lewatt, twenty-three,
and William Lee, twenty-six. All gave
their occupation aus laborers. The police
decided to send the four to the peniten-

in the meantime their records will be
looked into. The Syracuse and Cortland
authorities have been notified of the ar

A DINNER APPETIZER


The dinner appetiser par excellence, how
ever, is made of anchovies. This obtains
more favor as a quickener of tagging ap-
petite than anything else. The boneless
anchovies are preferably used for this
purpose They come in small cans. are de-
nude of head tail and bones. and are COW
cred with an oil like sardines. Squares
of bread. without crust, should be toast
ed to a nice even brown. Two anchovies
are then placed thereon, in opposite direc-
tions, in order to produce an equality of
arrangement. Over the whole are then
slssinkled the yolks of parboiIed eggs,
crupled up fine the whites being chopped
into cubes and disposed over the top. A
busting of white pepper and a very little
salt completas these remarkably delic-l
Gus appetisers. They are frequently
more relished than the blue points which
follow so speedily in their wake. For
suppers and teas broiled sardines on
toast are frequently served and are. a;
most appetizing preliminary. .-P hila-

PARIS. Dec. 4, 1S95-The nomination
of parliamentary committee to ex-
anime the project of holding an exhi-
bition in 1900 is commented upon by the
newspapers in very strong terms. and
an excited debate upon the matter in
the Chamber of Deputies is expected.
Three members of the committee are
hostile to the project, five accept the
proposition under strict reservation,
two stipuiate that the exhibition shall
be located on the left bank of the Seine
and one approves the project unreser-
vedly.
The debate in the bureau prior to the
rpminaition of the committee Showed
that hostility to the exhibition was
stronger than has been expected.

LAWYER FRANKLIN BxoNERATED
Judge Potts Acquits Him of the At
tempted EXtortion Charge.

Judge Potts AcQuits Him of the At
tempted Extortfon Charge.
Counsellor H. L. Franklin was before
Justice Potts this morning to show cause
~ he should not be committed for
contempt of court. The lawyers ap-
pearance grew out of a sensational
charge made in Justice Potts court ten
days ago by Lorenz Rheiman, a Pole.
Rheiman was the defendant in a criminal
charge and he asserted that Counsellor
Franklin had attempted to procure $145
from him with which to fix the case.
OF the money $45 was to go to the COM
plainants and 500 to be divided equally
between Justice Potts and Franklin.
The young lawyer denied the accusa-
ton the day it was made and protested
his innocence. Justice Potts demanded
thorough investigation and required
everyone concerned in it to be in court
this morning. Not wishing to hear the
case alone he called upon Justice Doug
lass and both listened to the testimony
today.
Rheiman repeated his serious charge,
but in his cross examination it came out
that he was friend of Tony Somanski,
was particularly unfriendly to Lawyer
Franklin because The had caused his ar
rest on a serious charge. Somanski. JUS
tice Potts believed, had a great deal to
do with Rheimans charges. Martin
Schulz, Anton Milalach and John Max
owski gave testimony favorable to Frank
lin. John Kaaowski, a saloonkeeper in
whose store the alleged attempt to pro-
cure the $145 was said to have been made,
swore that he never heard Justice Potts
name mentioned. Counsellor Franklin,
in his own behalf, said the whole thing
was trumped up charge. He expressed
his respect for the Court, and said he was
just as anxious to have the case thor
oughly investigated as anyone else con-
cerned. Justices Potts and Douglass con-
sidered THE evidence privately for an hour
and then discharged Counsellor Franklin.
