As various newspapers at hand con-
tain Il statement as TO outlaw Parker
having filed his shackleS off Il few days

had filed IL link in the chain connect
ing the shackles on his ankles This
link was filed from the end of the
chain. the chain being fastened to the
Shackle by stout string, so that the
outlaw could walk around and seem
securely hobbled- As he was in the
habit of wearing rags about the ankle
shackleS. the rags covered the string
which took the place of the filed away
link. the absence of which could only
be noticed on close inspection. The
day the absence of the link was dis
covered another prisoner was having
shackles riveted upon him when the

evening to a meeting held by the Reunit-

In response to postals sent out, very

The meeting was like those of the Old

the meeting. The Committee on Consti-
tuition and Bylaws reported progress.
There was no report from the committee
appointed last week to look into the adj
visibility of securing permanent quarters

7 AsToR's POOR RELATIVES.
John Jacob Makes Carl Com Portable
for Life.

Carl Astors family, the Jersey City
poor relatives of Millionaire and pros
pective Billionaire John Jacob Astor, are
a happy lot of people today. Carl was
told personally by his rich relative yes
terday, that he would create Ia fund of
$4,000. the interest of which should be
devoted><Q the education. of his children,
a for life fha at saGaS saarS Of of soo Ssa month
After many unsuccessful efforts to OBJ
tain a personal audience with his rich
relative, Carl finally succeeded last win
ter and got a minor position. He was
made a fireman in one of the. Astor build
ings, and from there transferred to the
Bangs building. at Front and Pine
streets. The millionaire went to Hondur-
as to look after his vast interests there.
Carl a few weeks later lost his job as
fireman in the Bangs Building. He was
told there was nothing for him to do.
The newspapers of the past few days
have devoted much space to the doings of
John Jacob in Honduras, and told how
his interests there were developing at
in the course of time. Carl, as soon as he
read of John Jacobs return, sought him
with a heavy heart and laid before him
his troubles with the result above stated.
Carl was seen by News" reporter at
his home, No. so Academy street, this
morning. He has but recently moved
he has lived for several years with his
father, Ludwig Astor, his wife and sew
eral crippled children, struggled for bare
existence.
Il do not care much to talk about the
matter" he said. 'sOf course I feel very
grateful, and awfully sorry for anything
unkind | may have said against Mr.. John
Jacob am satisfied, after my interview
with him yesterday that I was mistaken
in what seemed. to me the hardness of
heart on his part. He did not know the
actual state of affairs. He was surprised
at my having been discharged. He was
under the impression that l was working
and was well provided for. He would not
let me thank him. go to work on the
1st of April
Ludwig, the father of Carl Astor, is
the son of Steven Astor, of Germany who
was a brother of John Jacob, the first
American AstOr.
The troubles of the Jersey City family
of Astors began with the burning out of
their home and business some years ago.
Over a year age little son of Carl was
struck in the back by a Newark avenue
grocer withsh sack of flour and crippled
for life. spine was injured, and his
eyesight ts.reatened. Recently the little
fellow lost a leg. The grocer was sued
and a Judgment for $4,000 ordered, but
the money has not yet been paid.

REPUBLICAN APATHY.
Greenville Democrats Full of
Life Confident Of
Success.

The Republicans in the Seventh ward
are all at sea these days and the party
is so broken up that they haven't the
ghost of chance to win in this coming
election. If there was ever any doubt
in the minds of Democrats as to the
outcome this spring, let their doubts be
dispelled. 1t is now only matter of how
large the majority will be for the Dem
ocratic party. To anyone familiar with
politics in Greenville, the same opinion is
held. The Republican party is disrupted,
as was shown at the ward convention
held last Friday night in Belvedere Hall;
The proceedings were described in full
last week, but one or two important
things may have escaped unnoticed.
It was noticeable that the Minkakwa
Republican Club did not nominate any
body. The Leaguers had things their
members were nominated Tne Alder
manic aspirant was nominated by an
other of the, Leaguers. The Minks were
and Sixth precincts were disgusted at the
turn of affairs and left the hall. 1t may
be explained here that all this talk about
harmony existing between the IeaguerS
and Minks is all boSh, and that in spite
of the supposed iron clad harmony agree
ment passed a short time ago, the. clubs
are as bitter rivals as ever. 1t is not
shown so openly as before, but there
isn't the slightest doubt but that it ex-
lists. Just to show how much figure the
HdTInOHy agreement cuts, lii6 NI1iihS
wanted the Leaguers to nominate the
whole five candidates, or better, to have
them all members of the League Club.
Edward Birch, one of the Leagues most
prominent members, was slated as one
victim but he refused to run on the
ticket.
1t was the Minks' plan, so it is rumored,
to have Birch and Petty on the ticket
and then swamp it. This may be done
even yet, for Peter Boos the nominee
for Alderman, is not a member of the
Minkakwa Club neither is he a friend of
others resigned from the club some time
ago in disgust. Petty will be cut by the
MinkS, that is certain, for he was for
merly member of that club and he has
some deadly enemies connected with it.
1t is doubtful if gossip may be taken
hustling for any candidate save the Street
and Water Board nominee Apathy
reigns in the ranks of the G. o. P. and
many will certainly vote the Democratic
ticket. Many Republicans have expressed
themselves as disgusted with the whole
business. Said one last evening"
This harmony business is all fake
and [ don't think either club would stop
a minute if it could beat the other Scrap
ping all the time and accomplishing noth-
ing in spite of the harmony deal. | don't
think that any more harmony exists now
through. The Leaguers have gained
nothing by it. that is certain, and the
Minks are contented to let them remain
as an Independent organization. Others
have expressed themselves in the same
vein and it is sufficient to say that the
this spring. Mr. Peter Ehrhart the
Democratic nominee for Alderman, is sure
to be winner and he will carry the rest
of the ticket with him.

old mattresses had long been source of
annoyance to them. The new mattresses
arrived yesterday afternoon. The men
were elated at the change and celebrated
the event last night by throwing the old
mattresses about the rooms and at each
other; in fact, they engaged in regular
old-tashioned fight with mattresses as
were tired of pelting each ther with the
mattresses they threw them down the
stairs In the rear of the police station,
leading from the section rooms to the
