James Marks Goes to Morris Plain
~olnorro for Life.

James Marks, who killed Michael J..
Sauerbrei in Bayonne on May q, and was
acquitted on the ground of insanity, has
been formally committed by Justice Lip
pincott and Judge Hudspeth to the asy-
lum at Morris Plains. Marks trial for
murder was begun on October II and last
ed two days. He was defended by Sena-
tor Daily and former judge Thomas F..
Noonan, who produced a number of wit
nesses to show that Marks had always
been queer. An insanity expert from
New York declared that Marks was hope
lessly insane without the most remote
probability of recovery.
When the defense closed, Prosecutor
Winfield abandoned the case, and said
the State would consent to a verdict of
acquittal on the ground of insanity.
Marks has been kept in the County Jail
ince then to determine whether his in
sanity continued. AS it has continued
the papers committing him to the asylum
were prepared and signed yesterday.
The Board Of Freeholders is directed to
pay the cost of his maintenance during
his stay in the asylum. Constable Frank
Hague will take him to the asylum to-
morrow.

MURDER. WEYLBR STYLE.
Ex-Jerseyman Attempts to Kill His
whole Family In Delaware.

WILMINGTON, Del, Dec. 2. 1S97.-A
special from Milford, Del. to the Every
Evening"" says hat Salvage Bilderback,
a charcoal burner, who about a year ago
moved from New Jersey to Duglestown, a
Maryland village near the Delaware line,
attempted to kill his family last Monday
evening.
Bilderback returned to his cabin about
ten o'clock and said to his Wife" | have
Just learned to use the kind of sword that
the Cubans use. Now, ! want all of you
to stand up"
In order to humor him, she and the
children arose, when he tied their hands
with a piece of cord, which he fastened to
the rafters. Obtaining a corn knife
which was in an adjoining room, he COM
menced cutting his family, inf1icting some
dreadful Wounds. Before he could COM
plete his iendish work his son came home.
Bilderback becoming alarmed, seized his
army musket, ran out doors and fled to
the woods. The son summoned a physi-
clan and notified the n~eighbors. A posse
was quickly organized and search for the
assailant was begun, but as yet Bilder-
pack has not been found. Intense indig-
nation prevails, and the villagers threaten
to lynch him if he is found :
The condition of Mrs. Bilderback and
the children is serious.

HARMONY @ At last
Greenville League Votes Unani-
mously to Make Up With
MinkakWas.

At last the Leaguers have decided to
join hands with the 'Minks," for the
report of the Harmony Committee to that
effect was passed last evening at the
meeting of the Leaguers. Just what the
report consists of is not known outside
of the members of both clubs, and mum
is the word with them. 1t is understood,
howerever, that the "Minks" have agreed
to nave a new enrolment, as the
Leaguers say there are over one hundred
names of Democrats on the books, and
both sides deny putting them there. Other
clauses In the report provide that both
clubs shall be given half of everything in
sight, which means election officers, dele
gates to County convention and ''other
things"
The meeting last evening of the League
was a very quiet one. When the report
of the Harmony Committee was read,
nearly everyone present spoke in favor
of it, much to the surprise of the mem
bers who are working for harmony, for
they anticipated trouble After a
thorough discussion which lasted for over
an hour, the vote was taken, and it was
unanimously in favor of harmony. In all
sixty-one votes were cast.
This assures harmony, but the report
now has to be signed by the president
and secretary of each club before it be-
comes legal, which will be done during
the course of a week. A member of the
League Club in speaking about harmony
last evening said
1--WE now have harmony, but good
heavens how long will 1t last. This is
about the fourth time these two clubs
have been ~reconciled, but the other times
the agreements were broken and both
clubs were to blame. Just wait and see
how this will turn out"
The Republican primaries passed off very
quietly. In fact, they were very dull,
only sixty-eight votes being cast. There
was only one ticket in the field and
on it was the name of Michael
Schultz, Jr., the "Minks'" candidate, and
Edward Birch, whose name the "Minks'
magnanimously let grace the ticket to rep
resent the League Club. Schultz re-
ceived Sc votes, Birch SIS and Alexander
Richter, 10. Birch was scratched six
times and Schultz once. Richter, who is
q member of the League, says he doesn't
know anything about the ten votes cast
for him, but Birch is of a different opin-
ion. This gives the "Minks" six commit
teemen and the Leaguers one.
What Schultz wasn't going TO get done
to him in the minds of the Leaguers at
the primaries last night wasn't worth tell
ing, but it turns out that their own candi-
date was scratched instead of Schultz.

TROUBLE FOR JOE" GUIsTo.
Opposition to th- Hobcken Repubn-
xan Leader.

RepubIicanism in Hoboken is very much
below par if the in which the
primaries are conducted last night is to
be counted for anything. In every ward
there was opposition to the regular
ticket formulated by Leader Joseph J..
Guisto, n some highly sensational
political deals were incidentally revealed.
The revelations were the outcome of a
split in the party which has existed ever
since the last election. Mr.. Guisto, who
is the recognized pivot of Hoboken Re-
publicaaism, has been running things
Just about as he pleases. His followers
were an easy lot to lead and the only
difficulty he experienced was when any
one of them was shown more favoritism
than the Others hen there was sure to
be trouble.
Mr.. Guisto had not expected any trouble
last night. He slated his men n those
who were not mentioned were supposed to
keep quiet. In the Fourth Ward, in which
he resides, he placed himself at the head
Of the ticket. This other names on the
list heretofore H. Smith, Ernest
Muzzi, Louis Levy and Joseph J.. Ken
nedy. OF course there were a few dis
appointed and among them was George
H. Smith. Last winter Smith was APP
pointed assistant engrossing clerk at
Trenton through influence managed by
Guisto. He had always been a friend of
Guisto's and 1t was not expected that he
would bolt until Tuesday night when 1t
was discovered that he had formed, an
opposition ticket, including himself,
Isaac sKohlmann, James A. Powers,
Louis Levi and Joseph F. Spinetti.
AS soon as Guisto heard what had
happened, he Immediately caused the
names of Smith and Levy to be stricken
from the original tickle and inserted in
their places John Ross and Edward Viii
son. Guisto's slate won by a vote of III
to 81.
IN the Third Ward the regular ticket
was us follows:-Frank j.. Lees, Henry F..
Ryan. Lewis Hulse, John Soderino:
