Brown. of the Supreme Court of the
United States, has granted a supersedeas
in the case of Joseph B. Dunlop of the
Chicago Despatch sentenced to two
years in the Penitentiary f5r the alleg
offense of publishing improper matter N
his newspaper. Dunlop's attorneys OBJ
tanned from Judge Grosscup a writ of er-
ror, expiring March IA, and on that basis
applied to Justice Brown for a superse-
deas, which was granted late Saturday
night.
The writ, issued by Justice Brown, op-
crates as an absolute stay of proceed
ingS until the writ of error can be heard
by the upper court, which on account
of the crowded condition of the calendar
cannot occur before October, and may be
postponed more than a year. In the
meantime Dunlop will be released on $10,-
900 bond, which fhis attorneys declare will
be perfected next Saturday
John c.. Eckel, managing editor of the
Despatch before leaving for Chicago
this morning, with Attorney Forrest, said
that Justice Brown carefully examined
the record, order and brief in the case,
and his action is considered favorable to
the eventual sustaining of the writs of
error in the higher courts.

It is not too much to say that the friendly
attitude of large majority of he press owards
the national House indicates an increasing
confidence not only in the good sense, states
manship and conservatism OF the popular
branch, which has been heretofore supposed
to be most influenced by temporary condi-
tions but also in the Republican party which
controls the House by so large majority
Even those papers which have criticised the
House for not doing more than it has done
after witnessing the proceedings of the anti
Republican Senate, are rapidly reaching the
conclusion that the House has done, or sis
likely to do in essential directions. ali that

HAMBURGER HELD.
Republican Aidcrnanfc Candidate
Accused O Theft.

Frederick Hamburger, two years ago
the Republican candidate for Alderman
in the Second district, was held in $500
for the Grand Jury on charge of steal
ing lumber from the Jersey City store
house at Sixteenth and Provost streets.
For some months the premises have
been burgiarized Latterly lumber was
taken away despite the fact that a
watchman was employed. No clue was
found leading to the identification of the
thief. On Friday one was unexpectedly
supplied by Mrs. Hamburger, the pris-
oner's wife. After a family jar She
rushed to the warehouse and informed
Superintendent Angle that the thief was
her husband.
Investigation proved the truth of her
story She said there were thirty of the
boards in the basement of their house,
at No 6O7 Henderson street These
boards were found and upon them APP
peared the private mark of the firm.
Mrs Hamburger was sorry when TOO
late that she had given the informa-
ton.
Hamburger, his brother and two other
witnesses testified that he purchased the
boards from dealer on Seventeenth
Street Justice Potts thought the case
was complicated enough to necessitate
the application of twelve mems gray
matter, {, and SO committed Hamburger
for the Grand Jury.

CANINE TRAGEDY.
A GreeDville Tramp Dog Killed by
Eour NEen aud Ten Bullets.

The stranger who appeared IN Green
vile dog society so mysteriously about a
month ago came to a tragic end 'yester-
day. He was shot and killed by the
tenth bullet which four officers fired into
his body. Patrolman Kimmerly tied him
to telegraph pole near the Fifth pre-
cinct station house and blew hole III
his head He had but one cartridge in
his pistol and when that was gone he
went into the station house for more am
munition.
When he emerged the dog had broken
the rope and disappeared. A trail Of
blood down Ocean avenue marked the
way he took and he was soon located at
Linden and Ocean avenues. Kimmerly
came up with him there and shot him
twice again. The animal subsidized and
Kimmer,y left him for dead. This was
about one P. M. Soon the dog revived
and began TO crawl along the gutter.
Constable Adams, Bayonne s.. P. c. A.,
officer, happened along and emptied the
five shots from his revolver into the
poor brute. Still he was not killed out
right. Captain Nugent of the Fifth pre-
cinct then appeared on the scene and
fired another shot into the quiyering car
cass. Finally Detective Egan ended the
creatures miseries with a surely aimed
bullet which took effect behind the ear.
The animal when he first appeared
about a month ago was greater object
of compassionate regard even than he
was in his suffering yesterday. He
aroused the sympathy of all the CANNES
in the Greenville section then from his
emaciated condition. His lank fianks
seemed to touch each other, where his
str
stood out through his shrunken hide with
startling clearness.
He was suffering from mango. Whence
he came none knew, nor how he ever
reached the section. Canine Greenville
adopted him.. though. and Mr.. Charles
Ocean and Danforth avenues. fed him
daily until he grew fat and lumpy look
ing Still he never attained the sleek
proportions of the well fed pet and his
hide still bore the unmistakable marks
of the mango. ;
His intelligence was dulled by the ex-
perience that had been his and his spirit
broken by it. He was to be seen al
all hours in front of the druggists store,
looking with appealing eyes at all who
word TO him and patted his foolish old
pate he had a wag Of his knobby tail
and lick with his big moist tongue.
| He never barked nor grow,ed nor gam
boiled as do dogs of happier fortune.
Mr. Mintzenius tired at length of having

Laugh, and the world laughs with you;

was exemplified in his case. Mr. Mite
MUS on Saturday reuested Patrolman
| Kimmerly to put the brute beyond star
walton by shooting him.
So perished a peculiar character in the
| world of dogs. None mourns his fate
and those who knew him in his early
| promise may never learn what at length
| befell him. The maker of cheap gloves
and. the manufacturer of bone fertilizer
! perhaps the sausage man-alone know
what the final disposition of his corpse
