With me. I am therefore perfectly
aware of the appearance of his body.
After time he secured employment in
a bathhouse as a rubber. but did not
remain constantly in this city. He
went to Reading once and finally left
the city about three or four years ago.
He wrote to me. but not very frequent
ly, the last letter from him having been
about nine months ago. l saw him for
the last time about a year ago. He was
then boarding with Mrs. Mack on One
Hundred and Sixtieth or one Hundred
and Sixty-sixth street, on the east side,
New York city.
I'VE have in our possession several
pictures Of him, one of which was taken
in this city, on North Second street,
some nine years ago. The newspaper
pictures bear a close resemblance TO
these pictures. and have no doubt that
the pictures said to be those of Gulden-
suppe are really him. I know of GER

tell whether the body in New York is
or Is not that Of Guldensuppe."

GRAND JUDY SCORED.

the Mercer County N. J.) Members.
Trenton. July s.-The Mercer county
grand jury. after an investigation OF
about two weeks In connection with
county affairs. which were Investigated
by a special commission. came into
court yesterday and announced that
they had no Indictments. They handed
up some papers. which indicated that
they may have made a presentment tc
the court.
Justice Gummere severely scored the
grand jury and said there were only two
possible conclusions 10 be formed one
was that they had not made q complete
Investigation, and the other was that
they had deliberately violated their OBJ.

He instanced the case of Freeholdei

he found 1t hard TO believe this and was
inclined to the opinion that the gran,

He therefore ordered them TO retir,

She had been overhauled after her
breakdown on the trip north from
Charleston last fall and was just ready
for sea again. The boilers which failed
this time were made about u years ago,

is from the idle classes that the crimi-
mai classes are made up. Character,
like water, gets putrid if it stands still
too long. Who can wonder that in
this world, where there is SO much to

Heaven aud hell are plunging into the
conflict, and angels are flying, and
God is at work, and the universe
is a-quake with the marching

watched these do-nothings who spend
their time stroking their boards, and
retouching their toilet, and criticising
industrious people, and pass their days
and nights in barrooms and club

lodgings are furnished to le-bodied
men and women-people as able to

received no longer at one police sta

they go to some other station, and SO
they keep moving around. They get

they stand with the ferocity of a wild
beast which, pursued until it can run
no longer, turns round, foaming and
bleeding, to fight the hounds.
There is another layer of pove rty

most as helpless. You hear their in
cessant wailing for bread and clothes
and fire. Their eyes are suni1en. Their

Their flesh is putfed up with
