GROVER CLEVELAND, JR.
A Son Born to the Household of
the Former President

PRINCETON IN. j. Oct 2S.-A son
was born to the household of Grover
Cleveland, the former President of the
United States, at noon to-day. 1t is
said that the newcomer resembles his
parents in point of good health, but
neither Mr.. Cleveland nor the three
family physicians will say anything in
regard to the newcomer, other than
that he is getting along nicely and is
a fine boy.
All afternoon Mr.. Cleveland has re-
ceived at his home the many callers
who wished to pay their respects to
him in honor of the occasion. Some
have congratulated the ex-President
personally, but many preferred to leave
their cards with congratulations and
best wishes for mother and son. A
great many kilograms of congratula-
tion were received. Among the first to
proffer congratulations by wire were
Joseph Jefferson. E. C. Benedict, for
mer Secretary Thurber, and former
Secretary Carlisle.
Princeton undergraduates have taken
a great interest in the new Princeton
ian. The fact that a Cleveland heir
was born was announced during the
varsity practice this afternoon. There
was a large gathering of undergradu-
ates on the field watching the varsity
and scrub teams practice. When the
announcement was made three Prince
ton cheers were given for the boy. three
for the mother and three more for the
father 1t is probable that the UNDER
graduates will sefenade former Presi-
dent Cleveland and his heir at some
future date
On the college bulletin board in front
of Reunion Hall was posted this notice:

Harrison appeared on the platform, ac-
companied by Richard Croker.
One of the most remarkable things
that has ever occurred at a Tammany
Hall meeting took place just then.
Some one called for three cheers for
Richard Croker. The response was a
storm of Kisses that swept over the
hail. Not a cheer was given, and the
man who called for them thought he
would try again. In a very loud voice
he again called for three cheers for
Richard Croker. There was a feeble
response this time, but the cheers were
drowned by kissing. Croker heard the
expressions of disapproval of himself,
and he retired to seat far back on the
stage.
Henry George is now supplying the
greater part of the ginger" in the
municipal campaign. His allegation
as to the integrity of recognized chiefs
of both the leading parties are exciting
wide interest, though they are met by
those most directly concerned with a
showing of Indifference. The most spe-
cific of Mr.. Georges allegations are
that Roger A Pryor paid Richard
Croker $4,000 for the Judgeship he now
holds; that $22, ,0C0 was paid for a. seat
upon the bench for Judge Ingrahar,
and that other judicial offices We're
made the object of barter by the So
called political bosses.
Judge Pryor has made categorical de-
nial that he paid or caused to be paid
any sum for the nomination. and like
denial has been made by other Judges
involved

SANTA ROSA. Oct. 2S.-Great ex-
Citement was caused here tonight by
the attempt of an unknown man to alb
duct the beautiful daughter of J. J.
Kearns, a prominent business man. The
fellow threw her down and nearly
choked her to death, only letting her up
when she promised to go with him.
When he allowed her to rise she
screamed at the top of her voice, soaring
him away.
This is the second time an attempt at

SAN JOSE, oct. 2S.-On the four
teenth day Of Dan butchers trial the
jury came in with a verdict OF not
guilty.
On the first ballot last night the jury
stood six to six. At 10 o'clock they Were
locked up for the night
The Jurors continued to ballot all
night at intervals, none Of ETAO1N
night at Intervals, none sleeping. Dur
ing The night there was one ballot,
when there were ten for acquittaI, but
the other two held out. At another
time those for acquittal lost one vote.
The balloting stopped awhile this
morning and the jury had breakfast.
On resuming balloting all were Tor ac-
ouittal. but one. The last ballot was
taken at $50, and at 9:45 an agreement
was announced, as all We're for ac-
quittal.
In the first ballots those not for ac-
quittal ranged from manslaughter 10
murder in the first degree.
1t was rumored around the court
house before 10 o'clock that an agree
men was reached, and there was
rush to get into the courtroom, which
was packed.
The jury was brought in by a balllI'
and the foreman, in answer to the
courts question, announced that an
agreement had been reached. Thls
was handed to the clerk and read, and
at the announcement Not guilty a
wave Of applause swept over the court
room, which the Judge rebuked. The
Jurors were thanked, and the defend
ant discharged.
The District Attorney then moved
that the cO-defendant, Mrs. Schofield,
be discharged, saying that all the evil
dence had been submitted in the case
of butcher. and as he was acquitted,
it was needless to go to trial with Mrs.
Schofield.
The court granted the motion, and in
ordering her discharge said 1t would
be "a queer condition of affairs if the
co-defendant who actually fired the
shot, be acquitted, and the party on
whose behalf the shot was fired be con-
victed."
Both parties left the courtroom sur
rounded by friends after shaking hands
with the jurors. Both took the verdict
calmly, but butchers father, who has
been with him all the time, was af-
fected to tears. He was profuse in his
thanks to the jury.
The crowd stood around the jail to
see the parties leave. butcher left with
his father, sister and attorney, while
Mrs. Schofeld packed her wardrobe in
the Jail room she occupied and did not
leave until later. Many persons re-
mained around to congratulate her as
She came out.
Neither defendant had anything to
say more than to express their delight
and general thanks and appreciation.
This disposes of the cases which have
attracted much more than usual inter
est.
Daughters of Schoield by a former
marriage were in tears after leaving
the courtroom, but had nothing to say.
