MR.. A. BAKER writes to 1.-THE News
to complain of the way in which the Jer-
sey City police managed the reception OF
Bryan at the Pennsylvania Railway sta
ton last Tuesday evening. Among other
things, he says
The policemen, having nc directions
from their superiors, scattered around
the depot p-romiscuously pushing and pok-
ing people with their clubs, unwantonly
and uncalled for.
Perhaps it will interest Mr.. Baker to
know that the police had no clubs with
them on that occasion.

brief address. urging the union to devote
itself to the work of securing legislation
calculated to advance its objects. The
venerable Archbishop was listened to
with rapt attention, and at the conclusion
OF his remarks a vote Of thanks was ten

ABSOLUTELY PURE
DID HIS WIFE SHOOT HIM


Specfdlt 10 the Jersey Citp Nears.
ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. Is, 1s96.-John
| Miller, an aged farmer, was murdered. it
Is supposed, in his home on a farm near
Egg Harbor City yesterday morning.
About ten o'clock ~neighbors heard a
pistol shot in the house, and later when
n of them went to investigate the
trouble Miller was found dead in his
chair with the left side Of his face and
brains blown out and an Ole horse pistol
loosely grasped in his left hand. There
were other marks of violence about the
body, and the kitchen, where his body
was found, looked as If swept by a cy-
clone.
Miller lived on a farm about three
miles from Egg Harbor City. near
Heihl's farm. He was a cripple from
rheumatism. and able to get about very
little. His wife Elizabeth was about
the same age and of a quarrelsome ma
ture. Both, according to the testimony
Of the neighbors. had frequent violent
disputes. Since Tuesday 1t had been
noticed that Miller and his wife were
on bad terms again, and yesterday morn
ing ~neighbors at work in the adjoining
vineyards were startled by the report Of
a gun.
One of them hurried over the fields to
the house and found Miller dead in his
chair, with blood streaming from the
gaping wound In his head. His wife was
discovered in another part Of the house,
and when questioned said her husband
had taken the pistol and shot himself.
From the appearance of the wound the
muzzle of the pistol had been placed In
his mouth and fired.
On the floor beside him lay broken
pieces of wood as from a broomstick.
The stove was upset, dishes and heavy
iron pots were smashed, vegetables lay
about the floor in confusion and one Of
the windows was smashed out. Mrs.
Miller said they had been quarrel.ng and
that he had struck her several times.
She claimed she had used no violence.
although she did not know how her hus-
bands right eye came to be badly cut
and bruised as if by broken glass.
coroner Senft was notified and took
charge of the remains until the arrival
of Prosecutor Perry in the afternoon'
who ordered Mrs. Miller to be kept un-
DER guard pending ar investigation. The
PROSECUTOR expressed the opinion last
but that he would wait until Coroner
Senft had impaneled a Jury and had
held an inquest, which h will do to-
day, before ordering Mrs. MIXERS ar
rest.
County. Physician Souder will go to
Egg Harbor today to hold a post raortem
examination of the body.
Mrs Miller was fornely known as
Eiizapeth Brassey and lived in Philadel-
pnia before coming to Egg Harbor City.
1t Is said she was a Union nurse in the
rebellion before she met the man who
afterwards became her husband. Each
was about sixty years Of age.

The strike of the Adams Express Com
pany's employees affords a curious COM
mentary upon the mission Of the West
to regenerate the workingmen of the
East. From all the evidence available, it
would appear that the Company, since 1t
passed out Of the genial control of John
Hoey, has been shipping experienced
slave drivers from the West to grind the
last iota of labor for the least possible
pay out of the working force.
We hear of men employed on the piers
from I A. NJ. to 9 P. NJ. We hear of old
officials discharged because they did not
drive their subordinates hard enough to
suit the new importations from the West.
In short, an effort seems to be in pro-
gress TO establish in our midst those
conditions OF heartless oppression which
are so common in the transportation
business of the West, and which rave
produced devastating revolts of the labor
ing element, great enough in magnitude
10 make history
Of course, order must be preserved in
the community and property must be
protected. We hope the men viii main
tain an orderly and peaceful attitude, for,
if they fail to do so, all necessary force
must be used to keep them in restraint,
even to the extreme use of the strong
arm of the State. The history of a hun-
bred strikes win show them that violence
never succeeds; It contributes to defeat
by turning public opinion against those
who resort to it.
But SO long as they agitate for redress
OF grievances by peaceful methods. they
should have the support of the humane
and progressive sentiment of these East
ern communities, which holds tina a
mans labor should not be too great to
rob his life of all enjoyment, nor his
pay too low to afford him a decent Iiveli-
hood.
OF course, the company, being cornered,
VIII try to lay the blame of its grinding
policy on hard times. There is very lit
tie in the plea. The course of oppression
has been in progress from before the pres
ent slump in business. The Company is
an enormously profitable one, and is not
in danger of ceasing. to pay dividends on
account of any drop in business we have
yet had or are likely to experience I'M
less in the wholly improbable event of
Mr.. Bryan being elected. The Company
has, besides, made reductions in force
from time to time as traffic has fallen off,
and the long hours that the present force
are compelled to work afford ample proof
that the reductions in expenses are out
of all proportion to the reduction in busi-
ness. Pure greed seems to be the main
trouble and that is an animating motive
that win get little sympathy from the
public Of New Jersey or New York.

1t was not necessary to bless the build
