THE IRONY OF FATE.

He had fought in many a battle and es-
capped without q wound:
He had met stampeded cattle and had
bravely held his ground;
He had hunted In Montana and been snow
bound on the plain.
And he'd sojourned In Havana when the
plague was raising Cain.
He had crossed the stormy ocean many
times without mishap:
He'd recovered from a potion fixed up by a
Jealous Jap.
He had been q reckless rover from the
moment of his birth,
And had travelled almost over every por-
ton of the earth.
He encountered every danger that you've
ever read about;
He had been q Texas ranger and q reck-
less army scout.
But the moral, II there's any, In this
humble little tale,
Is that he died from stepping on an ancient
rusty nail.

GENEVA, Switzerland, Nov. 10, 1855
The Italian Anarchist. Luigi Luccheni,
who stabbed and killed Empress Eliza
beth, of Austria on September 10 last. in
this city, was placed on trial here today.
The court was crowded and the prison
er was strongly guarded; but there was
no excitement The result of the trial is
regarded as certain.
Luccheni bowed politely to the Court
and the public and answered the prelim-
mary questions through an interpreter,
in a clear. strong voice.
The Public Prosecutor, in reciting the
circumstances of the crime, said there
was no clear evidence that Luccheni had
aceomplices, except in the fact of the
prisoners own silence on certain points
which, as he, in his declarations, had not
spared himself could only be intended to
shield accomplices. The evidence of an
electrician, a boatman and a cabman.
who assisted in Luccheni's capture, was
then taken.
Luccheni admitted that he came to
Geneva in order to kill the Duke of Or
leans, but. he added, he arrived too late.
The prisoner them remarked that in
spite of this the Duke OF Orleans would
be killed within a year.

Especial to THE Jersey City News
ELIZABETH, Nov 10, 1898. Governor
elect Voorhees, was carly at his office this
morning, but not too early for a small
crowd of his constituents who had called
to congratulate him and incidentally make
a few more or less moderate requests.
When the Governor elect reached his in
ner office, he heaved sigh, for there
was huge pile of letters and telegrams
awaiting his attention. He was valiantly
attacking this mass of correspondence
when 1 found him this morning. He was
the same amiabIe Foster he has always
been, and his latest honors did not ap-
pear to have at all increased the size of
his head He showed few traces Of the
terrible strain of the campaign, and he
appeared to be in excellent health and
spirits.
"Have they gotten through counting the
votes in Hudson yet? he asked after ac-
knowledging my congratulations. He
next wanted to know what the heavy
vote in Hudson meant, and he was told
that it was the result of the perfect har-
mony which existed in the Democratic
party, and the fact that the voters went
to the polls to a greater extent than
usual. This led to talk of majorities,
and Mr. Voorhees, said that he did not
believe that his plurality would be over
5000. When asked if he had made any
plans for the future the Goyernor-elect
said
mo, have not. I find myself more ex-
hausted and tired out than l thought
was, and l want to get away and rest
for about a week. / expect before long
to go to the hills where I cam get some out
door exercise and the rest need SO bad
ly. When come back / may take into
consideration my plans for the future"
Mr.. VOORHEES, said that it was his in
tention to answer personally all the con-
gratulatory letters and kilograms he had
received He wished to extend his thanks
to all those who had worked so success
fully for his election.

NEWARK, Nov. 10, 189S.-United States
Senator James Smith views the scant Re-
publican victory in New Jersey with phil
osophy. He aseribes it largely to the in
fluence of national issues, which the Re-
publicans insisted upon Juggling into the
campaign Said he:-s Mckinley received
in New Jersey a majority of $1,000; Chan
cellor McGill was defeated for Governor
by about 10000, and Mr.. Crane by barely
5000. That shows how we are pulling
down the vote and shows, too, how fast
Jersey is losing her fear of free silver.

publicans in this State was not sufficient
to cause such a tide of sentiment in
