At Roberts Park To-Day.


The American Missionary Society will
meet to-day at Roberts Park Church. it
having been impossible to secure Tomlin-
son Hall, owing to the Seidl concert to be
held there tonight. To-day the committees
on nominations and the next place of
meeting will make their reports. The soci-
ETY. elects a new president each year but
it did not leak out yesterday who, if any,
one, had yet been chosen to succeed Mr..
Davis. AS for the next place of meeting,
either Kansas City or Chattanooga will be
chosen. 1t was said in the Denson corri-
doris last night that the committee had de-
cided on Chattanooga, but the friends of
Kansas City maintained that that place
would yet be selected.
The last count of the registration last
right revealed the fact that 1854 names
had been signed to the convention roll. and
this assures the obtaining of q registration
of over two thousand, which the society so
much desired in order to secure cheaper
railroad rates next year. The registration
of two thousand indicates that at least
three thousand attended during the week
the convention, for many came and went
without registering. The delegates are all
much felicitated because of the unexpected
and unprecedented attendance. The pro-
gramme for to-day is as follows:

tion," w. B. Craig. Business hour, reports

BARELY ESCAPED DEATH.
Two Miners Threatened by a FAN OF
Rock

Two men narrowly escaped being crushed
to death in the mines Of Packer No. col

evening. The men were Jacob Savage, a

and Frank OWachik, Lithuanian of VIM.

Savage and Owalchick were working to-
gether in breast and prepared and fred a
blast. After remaining at a safe distance un-
Til the smoke cleared away they went up into
the breast again and we're nearing the place
where the blast had been made to examine
the result when fall of rock occurred
Both sprsng quickly to one side and just
escaped being crushed to death. piece of
rock struck Owalchik on the head, but did
not injure him very seriously. Savage was
less fortunate. A large piece of rock struck
him glaucing blow on the left arm, side
and back and knocked him down. Fortu-
nately it knocked him away from its path
and he escaped the boulder as it rolled down
the breast.
Savage was in critical condition when he
was removed from the mine. to his home and
1t was thought that he had sustained internal
injuries. Dr. Stein was called in attendance.
He made careful examination Of the vic
tim and found the body terribly bruised from
shoulder to waist on the left side but no in
dication of a fracture could be discovered
nor is it thought that internal injury was
sustained. The bruising he received, how.
ever, is of such a severe nature that the man
lies in bed as if his entire left side was para
lyzed. The doctor was surprised that not a
bone in the mans body had been broken.

THE GOVERNOR NoN-coMM1rAl..
Bnt His Friends Believe He has Been
OfIered a Cnhinet PnaItinn

Ohered Cabinet Position.
Paterson, N. J., Dec. L. 49, Governor
John W. Griggs arrived home last night
from Washington. He was seen soon
after he reached his residence. but re-
fused to talk about the report that he
was to be the next attorney general.
He would not say that the office has
been offered to him, neither would he
deny this. Close friends of the gov
ernor and of Vice President Hobart,
who was seen at the Hamilton club
later, expressed the belief that the
cabinet position has been rendered the
governor, and added that he would
probably accept it.
Governor John William Griggs was
born in Newton Sussex county, N. j.,
July 10, 1S49. He was graduated from
Lafayette college in 1865 and became a
law student it the Office of Hon Robert
Hamilton at Newton. In 1871 he re-
moved to Paterson, where he entered
the office of the late Socrates Tuttle.
He was admitted to the bar that year
and together with Mr. Tuttle formed
the firm of Tuttle & Griggs. A few
years later he opened an office on his
own account He was elected to the
assembly in 1875 and was reelected two
years later In the latter year the
house was equally divided, and he be-
came leader on the Republican side.
and this brought him forward. He was
renominated for another term, but was
defeated. He was elected counsel for
the board Of freehoIders of Passaic
county and city counsel of Paterson,
which offices he held until 1882. when
he was elected to the state senate. He
was reelected state senator and be-
came president of the senate in 1886
He was delegate-at-Iarge to the Re
publican national convention in 1883.
In 1895 Governor Werts, of New Jer-
sey, offered Mr.. Griggs place on the
supreme bench of that state, which
Griggs declined to accept Next year
he was elected governor Of New JERSEY.
