AMENDMENTS ALL LOST
New Jersey Votes Against Proposed Reform
!, ! in Her Laws.
Anti-GamblfnE and Woman.s sufyr,rc
Amendments Badly Beaten
at the Polls.

TRENTON, N. J., September 29-The
latest revised returns and estimates this
morning indicate that the anti-gambling
amendment to the state constitution has
been beaten by from five to ten thousand.
These figures may be materially changed.
as more complete returns come in from
the rural counties, but there seems to be
no doubt that the amendment is beaten.
The amendment giving women the right
to vote at school elections is beaten worse
than the anti-gambling amendment, while
the ad interim appointment amendment is
probably defeated by a close margin.
The returns on the anti-gambling amend
ment show a large negative vote in the
cities where opposition to sumptuary leg
islation was the controlling influence more
than pro-race track sentiment. In Mon
mouth county, which has big cities,
there was large vote against the amend
ment, because the people there never well
coined the closing of Monmouth Park.
Hudson county was the only county in
which there was any specially organized
effort to defeat the amendment.
The defeat of the amendment does not
by any means indicate early revival of
race tracks, with bookmaking. in New Jer-
sey, as the statutes of the state prohibit
gambling in any form, and it is not at all
probable that the next legislature will re-
peal those laws, although an attempt to
have 1t done will no doubt be made.
Following are the amendments which
were voted on:
First-That no pool selling. bookmaking
or gambling of any sort shall be author
lied or allowed within this state, nor shall
any gambling device, practice or game of
chance now prohibited by the laws be
legaliZed nor the penalty now provided
therefor be in any way diminished.
Second-That no person who shall have
been nominated by the governor and shall
not have been confirmed by the senate be-
fore the recess of the legislature, shall be
eligible for appointment to such Office dur
ing such recess.
Third-That the right of suffrage at any
school meeting shall be granted female
citizens of the age of twenty-one years.

GOVERNMENT FOR HAWAII.
Senator John l.. Wilson Says 1t VIII
he Territorial in FEC rm.

TACOMA Wash, September 29.-In an
interview last night with a Ledger re-
porter, Senator John L. Wilson said there
would be no contest in the Senate over the
annexation of Hawaii; the only question
that arises would be over the matter of
government, and that plan had already
been preached by several senators which
1t was thought would meet all require
ments. 1t would be of territorial form,
with two houses, II e upper house and the
governor to be appointed and the lower
house to be elected The governor would
be from this country. and nominated by
the President, subject to the approval Of
the Senate. The upper house would be ap-
pointed from the island, and the members
of the lower body to be elected by The
island. The national House of Representa-
tives will have nothing to do with the APP
pointments.
Senator Morgan will lead the debate, and
his mission to Hawaii is to gather data.

unsavory, and finally she was driven to
the mountains, where she slept in the fields
and in the woods.

cussing the progress of Life and Thought
of the Church of England in the Victorian
Era" the debate as sumed dramatic turn
by the appearance of Father Ignatius, the

taking away God. Thus, he continued, was
the very raisoni detre of missionary work
destroyed. and, he exclaimed, I'VE are on

John A. Henderson, Vice Pres Ident Of the
Florida Central and Peninsula Rail
road, the Lucky Man.

By telegraph to the Times.
Tallahassee, Fla, March 6.-4ov-
ernor BlOxham has just appointed the
Hon. John A. Henderson, vice. presi-
dent of the Florida Central and Pen
lnsular railroad, to succeed Senator
Wilkinson Call until the Florida leg
islature shall meet and elect a senator.
Calls term expiredsMarch 4, and the
Florida legislature convenes on the
first Tuesday in April, which falls on
the 9Th. The democratic caucus will
be organized on the 20h. so that MIR.
Henderson's tenure of office will be
brief.
This appointment will prove a seli-
Gus disappointment to the friends of
Col. W. D. ChipIey, of Pensacola, who
is a prominent figure in the fight
against Wilk Call, and who was sup
posed to stand a good chance of filling
the statesman's shoes. While Gov
ernor Bloxhams's action does not
make Mr.. Henderson's election to the
United States senate next April
foregone conclusion, 1t certainly gives
him considerable prestige.
Mr.. Henderson has long been the
power behind the throne in Florida
politics, and, If he has never held
office himself, he has always held the
reins over those who have. 1t has
long been known to those on the in
side that he was likely to prove the
darkest of all dark horses in the SEN
atorial race, and Governor Bloxham's
course will prove no surprise to those
in touch with Florida politics

New York, Mch. 6.-Dun's Review
today says: "COtton has declined an
eighth, and with good reason, for. al
though receipts from plantations fall
off, the decrease IS not greater than
the decrease in consumption owing to
stoppage of mills. AS there is COM
paratively little cotton available in
the country, the market is very con-
venient one for spectators to manipu-
late. While many of the mills have
stopped production of cotton goods
for time, the general outlook is on
the whole unchanged, and the demand
for goods does not improve, while
printclOths are shade lower. The
mills accumulated stocks far in excess
of the actual demand during most of
the dullness, and their enforced re-
striction at this time is merely paying
a debt.

By telegraph to the Times.
Cincinnati, March 6.-The Ohio
river is rapidly rising. There has
been a steady downpour of rain for
the last fifteen hours. Great damage
is reported from the valleys. and
many persons have been compelled ia
fly for their lives. ~
Bridges in this and adjoining coun-
ties have been swept away, and others
are threatened, Washouts are re-
ported from all points. and railroad
travel is greatly impeded.
At Milford fifty families have been
compelled to move out on account of
the flood. The little Miami river at
that point is rising at the rate of a
foot and half an hour.
The only railroads not affected by
the flood are those that enter CIncin-
natl from the south. The Cincinnati
division of the Big Four ran no trains
today, neither did the Cincinnati,
Hamilton or Dayton. The Baltimore
and Ohio Southwestern reported more
washouts than ever before in its his
tory.
The Pennsylvania tracks are under
water for some distance out. The In
dlan Hill bridge was carried away by
the flood this afternoon. The Cincln-
natl, Portsmouth and Virginia trains
are blocked by high water at Batavia
Junction.
In the city scores of homes have been
ruined and On immense loss to prop
erty and untold suffering is the rec
ord for one day as a result of the Sec
Ond disastrous flood within the month.
All the creeks and side streams near
the city have overflowed their banks
and the mad rush of the waters has
carried houses, bridges and cars be-
fore it.

less so. The May Irwin kiss, however

an edifying spectacle and might prof
itably be replaced by something less
vulgar and much more amusing.

The Unusual Cause of an Ar
rest in the City Last
Night.
MERCHANT MYERS THE MAN.
Officers Detected Sale of Eighty Pounds
of oIeomargarine, BY Nom
Licensed Business.

A very unusual news occurrence hap
pened IN Brunswick last night. 1t
was the arrest of a merchant for the
violation of a United States statute
that seldom comes up for vindIcation
in a court of law.
Deputy United States Marshal En-
NETT F. Taylor, at O'Clock last night,
went to the store of Adolph Myers.
dealer In German groceries, on New
castle street, and placed the proprie-
tor under arrest. Myers was thunder
struck at his arrest and demanded the
reason. He was told that his offense
was the sale Of oleomargarlne without
the payment of the government IL
cense required.
Mr.. Myers was at once taken before
United States Commissioner John c.
Lehman, for the fixing of bond.
Judge Lehman fixed the bond at
$1,000, which was given by Mr.. Myers,
Messrs. Michaelis Kaiser and George
Krauss signing it.
The defendant will be given a pre-
iiminsry hearing before Justice Ne
man on Monday morning at 9 O'CLOCK.
The otfense for which Merchant
Myers is now under bond is one sell
dom brought to the attention of the
public, violations of the statute being
very infrequent. The history of the
case is very interesting.
The sale of oleomargarine, or sub
stitute butter, is regulated by the
United States government as strictly
as the sale of whiskey. For guam
titles not over 10 pounds, an annual
license of $S4 is charged, and for the
sale of over 10 pound lots, or whole-
sale dealing, the license is $3.50 per
year. The internal revenue collector
and all other government officers are
strictly enjoined to keep an especially
strict lookout for violations of this
law.
Some days ago it came to the knowl-
edge of Deputy Marshal Taylor and
Deputy Internal Revenue Collector G.
L. Sibley, of this city, that the law was
being violated in Brunswick. They
instituted a lookout, with the result
that yesterday afternoon the two Off
GERS embarked in a rowboat for st.
Simon sound, where the Norwegian
bark Jotun lay at anchor, ready for
sea. They boarded the bark and
searched it. They found, in the ships
stores, tub containing eighty pounds
of oleOmargarine, which, the captain
said, was bought from Adolph Myers.
Mr.. Myers has no license for whole
sale dealing in the article.
The officers brought the oleomar-
garine back to the city, and Marshal
Taylor made the arrest, as above
chronicled.
The penalty for this offense is fine
of from $500 to $4,000, and the United
States judges are particularly severe
in Furnishing it.

THE LOST VESSEL.
How the Daughter of the Drowned
Mate Got Life Insurance.

Brunswickians remember the sohoo-
her Cora Fl. Hanson. which, sailing
from Brunswick on October l. 1896,
was lost in the great storm of that
month and never heard from since.
Mrs. Michael Daily the daughter of
First Mate Valentine, who was one of
nine men who went down in the ves-
sci, lives at Providence, r. l., and,
soon after she had abandoned hope of
ever seeing her father again, she made
claim on the insurance company In
which her husband held a policy. The
company refused to pay until evidence
was produced that Valentine was one
Of those who left Brunswick on the
lost schooner. Mrs. Daily, in this ex-
tremity, wrote to Shipping Commls-
sloner j. G. Lehman, who secured ev-
idence of the fact and transmitted it.
Judge Lehman has received a letter
from Mrs. Daily, earnestly thanking
him for his kind assistance, and stat
ing that, on receipt of the evidence he
transmitted, the insurance company
promptly paid the claim.
The Cora II. Hanson was one of the
six or seven vessels from this port
which went down in the storm of Oc-
