NEARLY UPSET THE GOVERNOR.
A Detective Rnns Into Him, While
Pursuing a Thief.

- 4'6tes
TRENTON. Sept. 80. 1Sss.-Some time
ago there was a horse stolen in Prince
ton and a man by the name of Laran
Celonde was suspected of the theft. He
was finally located and arrested in Phila-
delphia. Detective Clancy went there
yesterday and brought him to Trenton.
When he train stopped at the Clinton
street station a number OF people got
between Detective Clancy and his pris-
oner while going out of the car. When
Celonde got to the platform Detective
Clancy was still On the car, n the pris-
oner saw his opportunity and made a
break for liberty.
The detective got off the car as quickly
as he could and started in pursuit. The
prisoner was a short distance ahead of
him. Just as the detective began his
Griggs, Who was about 10 take a train.
Clancy was in such haste and so intent
upon his quarry that he ran into the
Governor and almost knocked him down.
The Governor, who did not know the
situation OF affairs, expressed himself as
tc the rudeness of the man. He will
probably Telent when he knows that the
detective was trying to recapture a man
who was being brought to Trenton upon
requisition papers signed by himself.
Celonde crawled under two trains of
cars in his effort to escape, but the detec-
tive saw that he would have to pass a
certain point to escape. He went to that
point, and when the man arrived there
commanded him to stop. with the alter
native of having the top of his head
blown off. He stopped and is now in the
County Jail.

TRENTON, Sept. 80, 18-96.-Governor
Grsggs was at the State House all day
yesterday and transacted considerable
business, principally the routine work of
the Executive office.
The State House Commission met at
noon and audited the payroll for the
month. Custodian Bonnell reported to
them that the pretty new smokestack
would be completed this week.
Governor Griggs and Carrot A. Hobart

Private Secretary Tuttle said yesterday
speech making on the part of Mr.. Ho-
bart. He viii come as an ordinary citi-
zen.
Colonel A. R. Kuser, the Democratic
member of the Governors staff will dine
Governor Griggs and Mr.. Hobart at the
fair grounds on Thursday.
The State Board of Taxation held a
brief session and discussed their annual
report. which is now being complied.
Speaking of the big crowd that greeted
evening, the Governor yesterday re-
marked:-"You can Judge of the kind of
a crowd 1t was from the number OF peck
cts that were picked"

Three military commissions We're issued
yesterday. They were all to members of
the Fourth Regiment, located in Jersey
City. William N. Klink was made cap
tain and judge advocate. Edward Lee
was made captain and Mortimer j. Glea-
son first lieutenant.
The State Board Of Assessors held their
egula weekly meeting. Several appeal
cases were considered. A numbe Of
reductions were made in cases where
companies had failed to make returns
Of their capital to the board. In such
cases the board assesses the companies

was obliged to 60, do 1t faithfully, and
make g quick return.
Every scholar was Instructed to keep
his hat on about ten DDS In passing the
President, and about five rods in passing
a tutor. Oliver Ellsworth, OF the class
OF 1856, who afterwards became Chief
Justice of THE United States Supreme
Court, Is said to have purposely torn the
brim of his hat and then deliberately
marched past the President with the
remnant on his head. When arraigned
before the faculty his defense consisted
of the following ~syllogism: "A hat is
composed Of two parts. the crown and
the brim- Now this hat has no brim,
hence. 1t IS not a hat. and I am not
guilty This reasoning at once forcible
and amusing, secured Ellsworth's dis
charge.
But times have changed. Some fresh
men still find it convenient to go faith
fully on an errand and make a quick re-
turn, and the modern coIlegian doubtless
finds 1t harder to get to chapel at eight
O'Clock n his ancestors did to get
there at five. Blu if one Of Princeton's
colonial presidents could stroll through
the town today and across the campus
he might recognize old Nassau Hall, but
when he saw the other buildings, with a
small host of orange-and-black clothed
men moving to and fro among them, and
heard an occasional Going down to the
football practice today?" the old man
would hardly think that he was in
Princeton, but would rather believe that
old Nassau had been moved into a realm
of so great activity.

which holds meetings in the David
son Building a neither mission
nor charter to warrant the action
which it has taken. To this, it will
be replied, that as the nomination
must be made by petition a large number
of acquiescing citizens must be found
But, we rejoin, the number necessary to
sign a nominating petition is an insignih-
cant fraction of the Gold Democrats Of
this county, and what we object to is
not that there is an independent ticket in
the field, nominated in that way, but that
such Independent ticket is u-nwarrantably
identified with the cause of the Gold
Democracy as represented by the Palmer
and Buckner Electors.
One word more we have to say regard
ing the ticket itself. We cannot but con-
slider it. unfortunately made up. Mr..
George L. Record, who heads it. cannot
by the longest stretch of friendship be
termed a popular man. On the contrary,
we think he will estrange much support
from the ticket which 1t would otherwise
get. Personally, he is a pleasant gentle
man Of high standing, but intellectually
he is an advocate of hopeless impossible
ties. and politically he is a chronic de-
structive. No person in this county can
recall the time when he has contributed
one iota to Democratic success. and we
can conceive of no claim, however small,
that he can AVE upon Democratic voters.
We regard Mr.. Bedell as an equally weak
the Finance Board, he was not supposed
to be hostile to Mr.. Davis. and, after
leaving it, we opine he would have been
glad to accept a nomination for Office at
Mr.. Davis hands, any time he could
have got it.
The third place on the ticket. we are in
formed, is still untitled, MIR. Palmer Camp
bell not having yet consented to run.
The Assembly ticket is still one of those
odd secrets in which the managers of this
movement are so fertile.
For the reasons which we have here set
forth as fully as space will allow. and as
t~emperately as we are able, we protest
in the name of Democracy against the
appearance in the field of this third
local ticket. We call upon the voters to
stand aloof from a movement which has
no aim u Democratic disaster. We
urge upon all who hope for good in the
future of our great party. to adhere to
the local organization in this struggle.
preserving it as a rallying point for flu
ture victories, when the present error of
Organism shall be dispelled.
