IT Is ON RECORD.

To the Editor Of the Globe.
There are a good many people who would
comes to being a Democratic paper. They
know that it does not indorse that portion of
the Democratic platform adopted at Chicago
which advocates the free and unlimited COIN
age of silver by the United States without
regard to the action of other nations on the
ground that it is not a feasible project nor
Democratic utterance. They would like to
know if the o b e indorses the other
planks of the Chicago platform, and If not,
which are the exceptions. "A Reader
Minneapolis, MIMI, Aug. %, 1897.
The Glob is and has always been,
according to it's lights, a truly Demo-
cratic paper. 1t sees ne reason why
it should comply with the request of
this correspondent, any more than why
it should discuss the platform of 1892
or of 1876, or Of any other presidential
year in the past. 1t is completely and
positively on record as to the Chicago
platform. 1t is not one of the news
papers that do not dare to say what
they think, and it's files for the last year
will be found to contain a conaplete
exposition of it's position. IS news
paper, it deals only with living topics
The Chicago platform is not live
topic, nor can it become so unless
adopted at some future time as the
basis for another campaign. In the
meantime, our correspondent might as
reasonably ask us to republish the
news articles in which we described,
through many columns, the incidents
of the Chicago convention, because the
G | o b e's descriptions were the best.
We refer him to the files of his paper,
in which he will find the information
that he asks.

told of him by Inspector Lange, of the
Jersey City police, n youched for by
nearly a dozen reliable persons Is not

Whitley, Joseph DORM, Charles Henig,
Captain Otto, Louis and Leon Pellott and

of the Arion Club. and the Inspector,
comprise the Summit Fishing Club.
On Sunday last they chartered the
schooner yacht Celeste and went to the
Fishing Banks. They claim to have land

The Celeste is fitted with a rowboat and
a naptha launch for landing passengers.
When the boat was opposite Norton's
Point several of the party expressed a de-
sire to go ashore. The launch was low
cred. Manager Rethwisch, who was con-
tentedly putting a Havana, started to step
into the launch. He had his foot on the
gunwale ready to jump when suddenly the

the boat and into the water. He is al

up he was still putting at his cigar. He

WOODBURY., July q, 1S97.-A great
crowd of citizens found their way to the
City Council chamber at the meeting of
that body last night, and manifested I'M
usual interest in the proceedings. For
weeks the city has been divided over the
question of saloon licenses. An ordinance
had been introduced in the Council pro-
viding for the licensing of drinking re-
sorts in addition to the hotels already Il
censed by the County Court. The tenn
perance people got to work and made a
hcuse-to-house to secure signers
to a petition protesting against the pend
ing ordinance, while the question became
the one topic of conversation in all the
stores and on the street corners.
ALI eyes were centred on the Council
meeting tonight. but no one was able to
foreteIl what the fate of the ordinance
would be, In some quarters the state
ment was made, with a degree of conf
dence, that here were enough votes TO
pass the measure. Routine business was
proceeding quietly when President Wat

Councilman Andrews. "Here is ore con-

Mr.. Andrews handed up the bulky docu-
ment, and Clerk Andrews, with a weary
groan. proceeded TO wade through it. The
petition asked that the proposed license
of the signers were women. and the plea
was made that there were too many drink
ing bars in the city already. When the
ordinance came up it was killed oy a vote

Common Law Wife Causes

mon Law Heir.
$40, 500 PACKED IN A sATcHEL
Verbal Bequesi Ignored BY the
Man Who Carried Off
the Prize.

Frank Coghill, an engineer, of No. 224
Summit avenue, was a prisoner, this
morning, in Justice Nevin's court. His
arrest is the first step in what will doubt
less prove an interesting fight for the
possession of an estate of $4,000.
About TWO weeks ago. Franc CoghiII,
an aged recluse, died in New York city.
1t. was known he possessed considerable
money and his relatives were on hand to
get a part of it. When the relatives
gathered, a surprise awaited them. Mary
Cohen, of No. 3 Bayard street. who was
supposed to be old Coghilrs housekeeper,
stepped forward and laid claim TO his
possessions On the ground that she was
his COMMON law wife.
Coghill conducted a toy store, at No. AZ
Bowery and it was there he made and
horded his thousands. Mary Cohen work
ed for him and for many years past had
practically conducted his business. When
Coghill died a satchel containing $4,000 in
cash was found under his bed. Miss
Cohen took possession Of the money
claiming that Coghill on his death bed
had declared HI wanted her to have it.
It was about this time that Frank Cog
hill put in an appearance. Learning OF
the existence of the satchel full OF money
he went to the Bowery home of the re-
cluse, and Notwithstanding Miss Cohen.s
protests, seized the money and decamped.
Miss Cohen consulted counsel with the
result that two days ago she went before
e justice in New York and caused q war
rant to be issued for Coghilps arrest on
a charge of grand larceny. The warrant
was placed In the hands of Detective
Stransky for service. Upon his arrival in
this city Chief Murphy sent Detective
Pearson with him to look for Coghill. He
was found and placed under arrest.
Ccghill does not deny having the
money. He says he has it on deposit in a
bank where it can be procured at a mo-
ment's notice His only object in taking
it, he says. was TO prevent Mary Cohen
from ~disposing of It.. He disputes the wo-
mans right to it and says that the other
relatives Of Coghill propose making a
fight, for an equal division of the money
among those who are justly entitled to it.
When the case was called this morning
Justice Nevin postponed the hearing I'M
til Friday, at the request of the New
York authorities. Counsellor Fagin has
been retained by Coghill.

NEW EGYPT, July 81, 1S97.-The trial
of the four men, Clark and Pierson
Diminish and James and c. Palmer
West, which was to V been such a
celebrated case, did not take place on
Monday. as had been anticipated. The
men had been arrested by Game Warden
Foulks for violating the game laws in
fishing in a pond with nets in a stream
neal Allentown, and it had been stated
that they intended to make a fight and
test the law. The accused men decided
at the last ONE that it was best for
them to settle the case, so when trial
began they asked permission to stay the
proceedings until they could arrange
some terms with the warden.
Warden Foulks agreed to make n
case of the four, as he did not wish to
be harsh. but wanted to convince the peo-
pie that the game laws We're made to be
observed. They were then fined $50 and
costs. The case had caused widespread
interest in Monmouth, Mercer and Ocean
counties.

RIVAL MOTORCYCLES
The Baseball Lawyer Tiekles
the Whiskered Captain a
tle-Fight to a
Finish.

The fact tha members of the Arlington
Baseball Club have twice been arrested
for violation of the blue Laws in play
ing ball on Sunday and hat both charges
are pending against them does not seem
to worry them much. While lawyers are
preparing to defend them when they shall
be placed on trial before Justice Potts
on Friday morning, they are arranging
for not one, but two games to be played
on their grounds on Sunday next.
They propose to continue playing until
they are arrested on a criminal charge.
SO that they can take the matter, in the
event of a conviction, to the higher courts
and have the test of the obnoxious laws
made thorough.
Lawyer Charles j.. Peshall, counsel for
the ballplayers, when seen last night
said
In spite of the activity of the police
on Sunday baseball playing on the past
two Sundays and the so-called evidence
they have in their possession, I conf
IDENTIFY expect that the trials in Police
Justice Potts court on Friday morning
will result in an acquittal.
Whether it does or not we will play
ball next Sunday and fight out the Blue
Laws to a finish. Should Captain Nc
Kaig attempt to raid he will find a JUS
tice of the Peace on the grounds TO bail
out the players as fast as they are ar
rested. More than likely we will have
two advertised games1in progress, one,
strong team; the other, two teams COM
posed of boys under fourteen years of
age. By his means We expect to make
all the points necessary to carry our case
to the Supreme Court should such a ne
ceSsity arise.
I'VE have no hard feelings toward the
Captain because of his vigilance in en-
forcing the law and believe that he at
heart fully sympathizes with US and is
only actuated by a desire to do his duty
