surprising to visitors, for in the pre-
vious match between the two teams at

of 40 to 0. Following is summary OF

WHOLESALE ARRESTS.
New and Interesting Family at Keepe,
Orr's Sanitarium.


Orr's Sanitarium.
There is some doubt just now as to
what is the prevailing nationality in the
county Jail. This is due to wholesale
arrest made by the police of Dover, on
Morris street, in that place, Saturday
night. On complaint of William Collard,
a business man located near an alleged
disorderly house. the latter place was
raided. Inside were found the proprietor,
Frank Rose, an Italian, and his wife and
their two children; two women, Carrie
Hall and Emma Tuttle by name, and
three Poles, Joseph HAITI, Stone Golata
and Tony Smith.
Although the complainant failed to
appear at the hearing, and it is reported
went to New York at just that time,
Justice Gage sentenced the persons
found in the house to thirty days and to
pay costs. The men and women pro-
test in the strongest language their inno-
cence of the charge preferred. The two
children in Jail with Mrs. Rose are aged
two and five years, respectively. Law
yer Charles Stilwell has made applica-
ton for writ of habeas corpus in the
case, which will be heard before Judge
Vreeland to day.

ESPECIAL TO THE PRESS.j
Bath, August 16.-The August term
Of the Supreme ooSrt opened here this
morning before Judge Fogler. The
grand jury, which is the same as at the
last term, re-assembled and retired for
the consideration of the criminal business.
The traverse juries were empaneled and
excused until afternoon. Some criminal
business is anticipated, but the prospect
is that the civil business will be light.
A term of about two weeks is expected.
An interesting question arising under
the new stamp law. was submitted to
Judge Folger this morning The question
was presented in the form of q petition
for mandamus, brought ty Walter 6.
Weber of this city, against the judge, Of
probate for this county. Mr.. Wehberr is
the administrator Of an insolvent estate,
and in July last petitioned the judge of
probate for license to sell real estate be-
longing to the estate. Notice on the petit
ton was ordered and given in regular
form, and at the August term, held this
present month, the petition was granted,
the administrator being required to give
bond in the sum of slOU0. The bond was
prepared by the administrator and pro-
sented to the judge of probate, who ap-
proyed the bond and sureties, but declined
to receive it, and made it part of the
files of the court upon the ground that it
did not bear an internal revenue stamp.
Schedule A of the stamp act contains
the following: "Bond. For indemnify
ing any person or persons, firm, or COR
poration who shall have become bound or
engaged as surety for the payment of any
gum of money, or for the due execution
or performance of the duties of any office
or position. and to account for money
received by virtue thereof, and all other
bonds of any description, except such as
may be required in legal proceedings, not
otherwise provided for in this schedule,
fifty cents " mo nor
Counsel for the petitioner commended
that, under the excepting clause Of this
section of the act, the administrator was
not required to affix On internal revenue
stamp, and brought this petition for
mandamus to determine the question.
After hearing the parties, Judge Fogler
stated that he would render his decision
later in the term.
T. e. Southland, ESQ.,, appeared for the
petitioner, and Judge Hall an swered pro
