MRS. JORIO REMOVED.

Objected.

Taken To The Asylum saturday-she
Objected.
Mrs Jorio, mother of the crazy Italians,
who year ago murdered their father in
Vineland, was Saturday removed to
the State Asylum at Trenton.
Freeholder Henry T. Rice, of Lands,
had charge of the removal of the unfor-
tunate woman. He was assisted by ex-
Councilman Lewis Marks, of the Second
Ward. When the party went up in Mrs,
Jorio's cell, she was not dressed, and re-
fused to put on her clothing. She was
dressed after fashion, in few moments,
and the men attempted to lead her out in
the corridors. She resisted, holding
tightly to the iron bars, kicking and bit
ing vigorously. 1t was with considerable
difficulty that she was finally over
powered and taken to the train, and she
was finally seated in the train, jabbering
away and counting her beads.

MISS VARNUM's LECTURE.
1t Was Wonderful, Charming, Pleasing
Success.

Success.
| A woman of culture and talent. with
something to say and a fascinating and
impressive way Of saying it, was Miss
Vandelia Varnum. If there were any in
the magnificent audience who went to
the Opera House fearful that they would
not be repaid for their effort they were
agreeably disappointed. Miss varnum
pleased beyond messure with the sound
ness Of her logic snd the brilliancy of her
wit.
Perhaps the highest compliment that
can possibly be paid public lecturer is
rapt attention, unaccompanied by raptur-
ous applause. Such a well deserved com
pliment was paid to the eloquent lecturer
Miss Varnum, last evening. Amid
bright SENT lations of wit, occasional
sallies OF humor, revealing an individu-
aiity quite refreshing, the fair and gifted
orator, in works well chosen and in
beautifully rounded sentences succeeded
in enhancing for an honest hour and
half, one of Bridgeton's best and most
conservative audiences. Not few well
meaning men and women absented them
selves from the hall last night, because
woman was announced to speak. They
We're afraid, perchance, that as miss
was to speak, she might speak amiss.
Others among our good people, dubious,
sensitive, smothering their prejudices,
put in an APP earance and gave earnest
heed to the wholesome truths any of
| them old, of course, yet ever new, which
fell from her eloquent lips. To listen to
bright and sensible woman from the
platform, one having the courage of her
convictions, and happy way of express
ins IS indeed privilege. Would that we
had the opportunity of hearing them
ottener. 1t was comely, courageous and
commendable act in our Ladies' Aux
iliary tn give prominence on their pro-
gramme to a woman and her lecture, and
they de erve thanks.
Her lecture, "Who Pays the Freight ?''
was one of merit. The critics were, per-
haps not so strongly impressed at first,
but soon found themselves irresistably
carried along by the speaker. With true,
womanly grace and most chaste English
she delighted her hearers with stirring,
sensible and eloquent defense of true
man and womanhood.

KILLED WIFE AND HIMSELF.

The Murderer Wanted His Victim to
Support Him; She Refused.
Louis Zuengler shot and killed his wife
at Milwaukee, Wis, and then killed him
self by swallowing dose Of carboiic acid.
Two years ago his first wife procured d.
.yorce because he abused her. Soon after
he tried to kill her, and achieved such no.
toriety that he changed his name toAlbsrt
Krueger. under which name he has been
living ever since.
Last January he married widow at
Richfeld, Wis, and soon after he de-
manded that she support him. Several
weeks ago she refused to longer provide
for him, and ordered him to leave the
house. She began proceedings for divorce.
whereupon he got into her home one night
and tried to kill her, but on her promise to
live with him he spared her.
He again entered her house while she
was preparing breakfast, and without a
word OF warning shot her dead. He then
drank carbolic acid and escaped, but two
blocks from the house fell to the ground,
unable to proceed. The police found him
and took him to the hospital, where he
died at noon. He was ffty-one years old
and his victim was forty-flye.

Novel Small Change.

A very interesting report on the trade
IF Ads Abbaba, Abyssinia, compiled
5y Mr.. Rennell Rodd, has just been
issued by the foreign office.
The products exported from that part
Of the country are gold, ivory, civet,
wax and coffee. The market for the
two former is largely controlled by
the Emperor Menelik, who receives
his tribute in this form. This partial
monopoly and the competition Of mer-
chants importing goods from the coast
to obtain gold to send back have driven
up the value, and gold has nearly dou.
bled in price since last year. The value
Of ivory has also advanced.
Dealing with weights and currencies,
Mr.. Rodd adds that it is remarkable
that the prestige of the Emperor Meme
iik has not succeeded in popularizing
the new dollar stamped with his head.
The only small change for the dollar
consists either of rife cartridges or Of
pieces of rock salt some eight inches
,ong, tapering to either end, and about
two inches broad IN the thickest part.
Cartridges have come into use as small
change of recent years, but they are
easily tampered with, charcoal being
for the powder, and are,
an unsatisfactory medium Of
Nail.

As to his resignation Of the Governorship.
Mr.. Griggs said 1. would not be rendered
until the convening Of the New Jersey Leg
islature on January II next. This action
Is made possible by the fact that the office
OF General will probably not be
vacant before that time. as in due course
Of events Mr.. McKenna's confirmation as
Associate Justice Of the Supreme Court will
necessitate delay. In that event none OF
the complications incident to the imme-
diate resignation can happen, and the pro-
visions OF the Constitution making the
President Of the Senate acting Governor
would be carried out.
When asked who he thought would be
the presiding officer OF the incoming Senate,
, Mr.. Griggs remarked that, from reports

ton, in Newton and, in 1871, removed to
Paterson, where he resumed the

rates Tuttle. He was admitted to
the bar in 1871. Four years later he
was elected TO the house OF Assembly
from Passaic County. In 1877 he was
again elected to the House Of Assembly,
but the following year he. was defeated.
For several years he devoted himself to
building up his private practice. In 1882
he was elected State Senator, being re-
elected In 1884, and again two years later.
In the Senate OF 1885 he was elected to the
Presidency.
In 1895 Mr.. Griggs was elected Governor
over Alexander T. McGin by plurality OF
| &c, 800 votes, being the first Republican
Governor elected In New Jersey in twenty
five years.
Governor Griggs Is a keen lover Of ath-
letics, and Is especially fond Of sport with
rod and gun. He is, besides. good golf

Chess Club, and taken part in numerous
State whist tournaments. he Is member
