The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1898-01-22

NOTHING can be more vicious than the
bill proposed by Senator Daily for the
purpose of saving the murderer, Clifford,
from the gallows. General laws passed
to accomplish specific results are of ne
cessity injurious to the general interests
of the State. They are almost invariably
prompted by narrow individualism. They
aim to benefit some one person at the ex-
pense of all the rest.
In introducing the bill. Senator DAILY is
doubtless i~nstigated by his goodness OF
heart, but he should control his impulses
and consider that what he proposes is
hostile to the interests of order and JUS
tice.
Clifford is deserving of no sympathy
whatever. If he is not punished with
the full rigor of the law, there will be no
protection for any employer who has. oc-
casion to dismiss an unsatisfactory en-
ploye.

AN outrageous arrest of a new kind
was made in New York yesterday. when
a young man was charged with mash
ing" because he waited on the street for
a young lady whom he was in the habit
of accompanying home from her place OF
employment. Judging from the stories
in the New York papers, both the ruffian
who made the arrest and the other ruffian,
who, as sergeant, locked the young man
up, should be summarily dismissed from
the force.

Fire On Maple Street.

Last night at or near midnight
the Otto Moss house, on the corner
of Tenth and Maple street was dis
covered to be on fire and burning
brightly. Those who discovered il
made all haste to the burning
building and did what they could
to save the contents of the same.
Constable Joe Barkman occupied
the dwelling, but was absent at
Pittsburg, Texas, but welearn that
his cousin and another young man
was asleep in the house at the
time, and had to be aroused in
order to get them out.
We learn that the furniture was
insured in the Sewer & Offenhausel
agency, as was also the house.
We certainly sympathize with the
parties who were burnt out and
hope the insurance money will res
tore to them an adequate amount
to place their losses back.
Since the above was put in type,
we learn from Mr.. Winfield, of the
insurance agency of Sewer & Win
field, that their agency carried the
insurance on the Joe Barkman fur
niture for 5000, and also $500 or
the building belonging to Mr.. o. P
Moss.

today made the passage of the

that there was a cruiser or two

likely untrue, as no one can be

nounced that the Helen Gould
fighters-two batallons of three

of the recruiting Office, says:
"There are 405 men and 33 Off
GERS in the two batallions, and
every one of them has seen active
military service. All of them have
been submitted to the most rigid

last Saturday by the Supreme
Court The facts are that Gazsola
held certain county warrants issued
prior to July 1895, and in July 1895,
the county court issued an order
calling in all outstanding county
warrants for reissue, and Gazzola
had no actual notice of calling in
the scrip, whereupon he brought
suit against the county to set aside
the order calling in the scrip. The
Circuit Court set aside the order
calling in the scrip and on appeal

Company Claims 1t Was Suicide.

Warkon. Iowa, Special.-James T.,
Duffy, administrator of the estate of
Henry Duffy, has instituted suit
against the North American Accident
Association OF Chicago for $1,000 in
surance. The company failed to pay
the loss. Henry Duffy was found
dead in his store last spring, with re-
vOlver near him. and. although it was
called murder at the time, many be-
lieved 1t suicide. The fact that an
other brother had taken his own life
some years before. and that he him
self had suffered great business losses
by fire short time before, naturally
led to this conclusion
