Happy Occurrence at the Office of
the Police Superintendent.
Superintendent of Police Smith sat reading
q paper and smoking a cigar in his private
Office yesterday afternoon, when suddenly the
door opened and a jolly-faced, gray-hared
gentleman, wearing a fierce white moustache,
entered the room. There was a smile on his
face and he looked ixedy at the chief

whats that?" asked the jolly-faced man.
"Jud Dodge" replied the chief, rising in
his chair and advancing toward the intruder.
''Well, I guess your right; gimme your
hand"
And two men who had not seen each other
since they separated on the field of battle
thirty-four years ago, clasped hands and
looked at each other as only old friends can.
Both had entered Company e, Third Vermont
infantry, at the same time and both served
four years fighting for a common cause. They
became separated during the war, and yester-
day was the first glimpse the old "chums'
had had of each other since. The chiefs
memory was equal to the occasion, however,
and called his old companion back to mind.
Mr.. Dodge still lives in Vermont, and is in
the city visiting his sister. Hearing that
Vernon NJ. Smith was superintendent Of po-
lice the name of the friend of his youth
instantly required to his mind and he de-
termined to see if the two were one and the
same, with the above happy result.

has been introduced in the United States
senate by Senator Eugene Hale, of Maine,
for the establishment of experimental en-

A. P. A. MANIFESTO.
An Edict Against Mckinley Has Been
Issued.

Issued.
BOSTON, Mass. April ia circular was
issued tonight by the secretary of the ad-
v1sory board Of the A. P. A., from which
these excerpts are taken:
The national advisory board adopts no
candidate as the candidate which the order
should support, as to do so at this time would
be most unwise and impolitic.
After carefully analyzing the evidence ad-
duced the committee found to be true the
charges made against Mckinley of discrim-
mating in his appointments in favor of Ro-
manists and against American Protestants
because the latter we're members of the Amer
ican Protective association
"Of the other candidates, viz: William B.
Allison, senator Quay, Senator Cullom, Gov.
Bradley, Gov. Morton, ex-President Harrison
and Thomas B. Reed, the committee was
satisfied with their sympathy with the prin-
ciples of the order. Concerning the charges
made against Thomas B. Reed, the COM
mittee found them to be groundless.
The committee regrets that it has been
unable to make any statement with respect
to candidates of the Democratic party from
the fact that as yet no candidates have come
to the surface

SANDWICH, Mass, April ia forest fire
started in Cataumet village today. A call
for aid to quench the flames was made to
neighboring villages and about fifty men

Then Dance.
The armory again rang with applause last
night, this time it being the inspection of
Company I, N. G. NJ, which packed the
space for spectators with crowd that loudly
signified Its pleasure at any good movement
in the drill which followed the inspection.
At sharp the men lined up in their full
dress uniforms and were duly inspected by
State Inspector A. B. Johnson. The num-
Der that answered to the roll was seventy
six. That is full company, and as the
men stood in two lines during the proceed
ing they presented very pleasing sight. 1t
must be confessed that the drilling of the
company was not what it should have been
in some respects. The setting up exercises
were particularly poor, though the bayonet
drill was some better. The loading and
firing was the best of all and won the ap-
plause of the military men present, among
whom were Col. G. McC. Reeve. Maj.

NO BILL AGAINST HOWARD.
Grand Jury Reports the Results of
Its Deliberations.


The grand jury failed to find a true bill in
the case of John R. Howard, and he was dis
charged.
This is the end of the great stir made in
the arrest of Mr.. Howard, and his being bound
over in the municipal court to await the ac
tion of the grand jury. That body examined
into the case thoroughly, and finally decided
that there were no grounds for suspicion
against the accused, and said so in no bill.
Mr.. Howard did not exhibit any surprise, but
left the court room as a matter of course.
The grand jury handed in twenty-five true
bills against the various suspects some Of
them in Jail and others out and Judge Rus
sell ordered the clerk of courts to issue bench
warrants at once for the indicted persons who
were not already in custody. Seven releases
were handed in of parties whose cases had
been considered and whom the grand jury had
failed to indict through a belief in their inno-
cence.
No bills were returned against Richard O..
Lunke, held on a charge of perjury, and Fred
Smith, alias John Johnson, who was charged
with assault in the second degree. They were
released.
