Their trial will probably take place at the
April term of court. The Indictment
charges the defendants with attempting
to tamper with the panel of jurors drawn
to try Eli Shaw for the murder of his
grandmother, which trial was brought
to an abrupt ending by Judge Garrison
because of rumors of attempts to fix the
jury. Scovel was senior counsel for
Shaw.

AFTERNOONS PROCEEDINGS

The Gledhill Committee wound up the
first day of testimony with the evidence
of the Reys Ackert and GoWan and Con-
stables Buttenbaum and Shaeffer, as to
the doings at Little Monte Carlo. They
will take a rest so far as investigating
goes. until Friday morning next, when
they will again come to this city. AS dur
ing the mornings proceedings, the space
outside the bar of the Vice Chancellor's
Chamber had some spectators. and among
the audience were Assemblyman ]. f.
Murphy. President w. F. Midlge of the
Board of Aldermen. Counsellor r. J.
Wortendyke and ex-senator w. p. Ed
wards.
There was little interest displayed at
the mornings evidence. because the facts
brought out by Rev Mr. Ackert and the
constables are we'll known to every one
in the county So far as Mr.. Ackert's
testimony went, it was summed up by
one interested in the proceedings in the
following words
They showed to the Prosecutor that
pool rooms and gambling were being
conducted at Little Monte Carlo; the evil
dence given to the Prosecutor was by
him submitted to Grand Juries and they
did not 1ndlct, because the evidence ulu
not point to the guilt of any indictable
person 1t was all vague"
1t was observed that the gentlemen of
the committee only interrupted the ques-
tions in two or three cases. They listen
very attentiyely. and SO far as it can be
learned they propose to exclude extran-
eous matter, as Chairman Gledhill very
properly put it,

only on account of her attractive appear

interest in the proceedings. That she
was there by design and was a stranger in
Jersey City was evident. She appeared
at the private Office of the Chancellor in
the building of the Provident Institution
for Savings an6 asked if that was the
Chaucellor's Office. She was told that it
was, and calmly took seat. After a
while she was asked If she wished to
see the Chancellor, and replied that she
was looking for the Investigating Com
mittee. She was informed that the COM
1rittee met in Chancery Chambers and
expressed surprise that she was in the
wrong place. When told where the Cham
bers were she asked to be directed there
as she did not know the streets of Jsr-

and sat in front seat during the entire
proceeding
The scope of this mornings testimony
was very disappointing and in nowise of

Bar Associations Committee
Postpones Further Action
in the Noonan-Simp-
son Case.

At meeting of the special committee
of the Hudson County Bar Association,
held on Thursday afternoon March 8,
1898. upon the charges against Joseph M.
Noonan and Alexander Simpson, the de-
fendants and their counsel appearing and
moving that action by the committee be
postponed until after the trial of the
pending indictment, on the grounds that
such course would accord with the legal
rule in proceedings of this nature, and
that present action by the committee be-
fore the Supreme Court would tend to
prejudice the defendants on their trial.
The defendants having retired, the com
mittee pI cceeded to act upon the sub
jects, and by unanimous vote adopted the
following minutes:-
The defendants, having presented
their evidence denying the charges
against them, and now moving for
postponement until after the trial OF
the pending indictment; and the COM
mittee, being informed that the state
intends to move the trial as early as
possible, at the next (ApriD term;
and the legal rule in cases of disbar-
ment because of a criminal charge,
which is also the subject of pend
ing Indictment being. that In general
the indictment should be first tried
and disposed of by verdict.
And it also appearing that the pro-
ceedings to disbar could not be car
ried through in this case before such
trial, nor at the present term of the
Supreme Court, and that if it were
now prosecuted a double litigation
would be in progress on the same
subject at the same time, or else the
proceedings to disbar would be stay
ed upon the legal rule above stated.
1t is ordered that further action on
the part of this committee be post
poned until the first Tuesday of May
next.
:, The legal rule referred to is thus
Stated by Mr.. Justice Bradley de-
livering the opinion of the Supreme
Court of the United States in the Gaze
of WALL 107 U. S. Rep. 265, after full
discussion of authority. 1T seems to.
us that the circumstances of the case,
and not any iron rule on the subject,
must determine whether and when 1t is
proper to dispense with a preliminary
conviction. If. as Lord Chief Justice
-Cockburn said the evidence is con-
hicting and any doubt of the parties
guilt exists. no court would assume
I to proceed sunmarily, but would leave
the case to be determined by a jury.
But where the case is clear and the
denial is evasive, there is no fixed rule
of law to prevent the Court from ex-
ercising its authority.

SELECTED STORY.
The Wrong Cue.

Lila Weir taught elocution at Mad.
anne Thouron's Young Ladies' Semin-
airy when Thorndyck harrington was
cashier of the First National Bank.
Lila was both young and pretty, and ,
as the bank was just around the cor
ner from the seminary, it often hap
pened that Mr.. harrington walked
home from school with her, to the I'M
disguised chagrin of her lover, John
Cunningham.
He met them one afternoon in Feb
ruary, slipping along over the icy
pavement, and talking gaily together.
John had gone out of his way on
purpose to walk home with Lila, but
came too late; and, when be met her,
half block from the seminary, lean
ing on Farrington's arm, he passed on
with bow that was very stiff and for
NAL.
"Confound the felowl" he muttered,
as he glanced back at Farrington's
stylish figure. "What does Lila mean
by letting him dance attendance on
her every day?"
The cashier of the First National
wore on this occasion handsome
brown chinchilla overcoat and stylish
Derby hat. In one hand he carried
cane with head of beaten silver.
"The fool" John muttered, with
more force than elegance; but Mr..
Thorndyck Harrington was just then
oblivious to epithets.
When John called that evening, Lila
know in minute that he was out of
sorts.
"See here, my little girl" he said,
soberly, 81 wish you wouldn't let that
fellow, harrington, walk home with
you so much"
"Now, John, don't be sillyp'
81 don't like him, Lila. Besides, 1
wouldn't want any man to walk home
with you as much as he does"

aren't perfectly absurd"

ing deeply. "Some one asked me this
morning why I'd let that fool of Far
riugton cut me out. don't like such
inuendoes, Lila"
"What perfect nonsense, Johnl"

to promise me that you wont allow Far

LAUGHS AT DEATH.
A VIGOROUS CONSTITUTION DEMANDS
KIDNEYS IN GOOD CONDITION.
John Morrow, the Chemist, Offers. After
10 Years of Research and Study,
the Only Scientifically Pre-
pared Kidney Tonic.

Kidneys are nothing more nor less than filters
for the human body. If they are healthy
man has pure blood and feels good; if they are
puny and sick, he must suffer the indescribable
terrors of sickness from its mildest form up to
its most excrucating horrors.
New body is continually taking the place of
old and, if the old body of corruption and poi
son is not removed Immediately, one cannot
have pure blood and healthy existence-no
vigorous constitution can continue without a
sound body, and no sound body can remain so
without sound, healthy kidneys.
When the system is run down, tonic must
be taken, if one would get well. There is no
better or surer point to begin than at the kid
neys, and there is no sure health for the kid
neys except through that well-tested, healing
tonic, Morrow's Kidneoids.
Morrow's Kidneoids are prepared scientific
ally from remedial agents, tested for their
especial curative and tonic action upon the
kidneys, and in such proportions and arrange
ments as will combine full strength with con-
venient size. They are made in tablet form,
yellow in color, and are agreeable even to the
most delicate stomach.
Take care of the kidneys and nine-tenths of
all sickness will be avoided. Don't let sick
ness creep in. There is no knowing what
serious results may occur from neglect. The
human body cannot stand every thing it's a
delicate affair and must have needful attention
and considerable action.
Among pure effective remedies none hold so
prominent place as Morrow's Kidneoids. The
first case of kidney troubles they have not
cured is unknown. They are recognized as the
only infallible kidney remedy, known to the
science of medicine.
Morrow's Kidneoids are now on sale gener-
ally. If not to be had of your dealer, they
will be sent post paid upon receipt of 80 cents
per box or six boxes for $3.50 by the Herb
Medicine Co., Springfield, Ohio.

sis is always correct. The worst of
diseases are often playthings in his
hands,"
What these great men said nearly
twenty years ago tens of thousands say
to day.
Sir Henry Neigh, carrying in triumph
the British flag in South Africa, was
cured years ago by DR.. Flower, and is
his most enthusiastic admirer to-day.
Three years ago Abner E. Wall, the
Bonanza king Of the Klondike, was at
the door of death, suffering with con-
sumption Of the stomach and bowels.
AS last resort, when the physicians of
Iowa, Chicago and New York had given
him up to die, he visited DIR. r. c..
Flower. After hearing DR.. Flowers
description of the case he said: 'Dr.
Flower your diagnosis is perfect; take
my case. had no hope when came
to see you, but l have hope now. L
want you to take my case, for feel
can never die if under your care" In
thirteen months DR.. Flower has re-
stored this shadow of man to man
of health, strength and vigor.
DIR. Flower will be at the Pavilion
Hotel, Tuesday, April 5, to see patients.
The doctor has also arranged to deliver
one of his famous health lectures at
Blanchard Opera House, Monday even
ing, April A, at eight O'Clock.
What this visit of DR.. Flower to
Montpelier means to the sick and SUIT
fering can only be told by the hundreds
of people given up to die who will visit
him and be cured by him.
