articles which were stolen short time
ago from the Bradford residence at
Thirteenth and Market streets.
Joseph Fisher, colored, and Hastings

1t is likely that the Democrats will
control the State Senate by a majority of
one vote. The contest in the Sussex county
district was not reached Yesterday, but
it is believed that it will result in Maull's
favor. Whichever way it goes, it is ap-
parent that the Republicans and Ad-
dicksites will not be able to legislate any
this winter for the benefit Of their par
ties, for the Senate and Governor Tun-
nell will stand in the way to block all of
their schemes. General legislation for
the benefit of the people at large will
proceed 'uninterruptedly, but the plans
OF our friends the enemy for legislation
intended to intrcnch them in power will
all come to naught. Try as they may,
they cannot pass a partisan measure.
Even conceding them bare majority of
these Senators they are in equally bad
straits, for they have not sufficient
strength to override the veto of the gov
ernor. They will have two months
in which to struggle over the United

unable to lcgisIate or to elect United

ROBERT LUNDY ELECTED.
Well Known Resident of the Heights
Loses His Prouerty.

Robert Lundy, of No. 395 Central avenue
was yesterday dispossessed by Sheriff Hell
Ter in accordance with a writ Of ejectmeilt
secured by Abram Post. The property
consists of four lots and a house, in the
front of which is a small store. The
store property, however, belongs to Mrs
Dion, a daughter of Lundy Into this all

taken after they had been
put out upon the sidewalk by

gage on the property and title thereto
by virtue of a Martin Act sale. He of
him the money he had invested in the
property, with interest thereon. He also
paid the taxes on the property. Mr.. Posts
counsel said today
'sLundy gave US nothing but promises.
Finally Mr.. Post brought suit for eject
ment Washington B. Williams was
Lundy's attorney. Lundy was granted
an additional thirty days in order to
allow him to dispose of the property.
and realize enough to pay Post his money.
Lundy failed even to file any plea in the
ejectment suit after such extension, and
his attorney said Lundy had nothing,
and consequently he Withdrew from the
case. We secured a Judgment and issued
writ of possession. We gave Mr.. Lundy
all the time that could be allowed; in
fact, up to the return day of the
writ of possession. Mr.. Post made every
dy time to satisfy his claim. Mr.. Lundy
was badly advised by some of his friends
and said he would do nothing until he

Conrad, Discharged, Threatens to
Shoot His Late Employer.

Prof William Conrad, who claims to be
a teacher of music and languages, was
locked up in Hoboken Police Headquar-
tiers last night charged with threatening
to kill Captain William Badenhausen. the
superintendent of the Hamburg American
Steamship efnpanyss docks in Hoboken. Z
Conrad arrived from Germany about
two weeks ago and some friends procured
him a position as clerk for the Hamburg
Company. Conrad, it is said, made many
mistakes and yesterday morning he was
told that his services were no longer re-
quired Conrad was very indignant and
threatened to kill Superintendent Baden
hansen, whom he blamed for his dis
missal. No attention was paid to his
threats, however, and he made a tour of
the River street saloons.
About six O'Clock he was in maudlin
condition. He procured a revolver from
somebody and started for Captain Baden
hausen's handsome residence near the
steamship piers. Friends induced him to
abandon his attempt. Later Conrad went
into William Streckfuss' saloon, which is
about half a block from Captain Baden
haNsen's residence, and tried to borrow
a knife from the bartender, saying that
he wanted to cut Captain Badenhausen' s
rumpus that word was sent to Police
Headquarters and Detectives Weinthal
and Fallon arrested him. This morning
Recorder Stanton gave him sixty days in

NO NEW TRIAL FOR QUAIL
Murderer of Lynch Decides
Who Are His Counsel
Tilt Among the
Lawyers.

Lawyers William H. Speer, Jr., and Jo-
seph M. Noonan appeared in the General
Sessions Court this morning to argue the
rAle to show cause why new trial should
not be granted to Robert Quail, who was
convicted of murder IN the second degree
for the killing of Michael Lynch and sem
fenced to twenty years in State prison.
Mr. Noonan opened the argument. Quail
was tried before Judge Blair under a new
law, which authorizes either Judge of the
Oyer and Terminer Court to hold a ses-
sion of the court. Mr.. Noonan quoted the
law which provides that the Judge OF
the Common Pleas Court may hold a ses-
sion of the Oyer and Terminer Court in
the absence of the Justice of the Supreme
Court or that the Justice of the Supreme
Court may sit alone in the Oyer in the abb
sence of the Judge of the Common. Mr..
Noonan contended that the absence OF
Justice Lippincott from the session of the
Oyer and Terminer, at which Quail was
tried, was not such a nabsence as is con-
templated by the statute. At the very
time the session was being held Justice
Lippincott was in the Supreme Court try
ing a civil suit He was not absent in
the legal or physical sense contemplated
by the statute. The object of the statute,
Mr.. Noonan said, was to facilitate busi-
ness, and its intent is that either Judge
of the Oyer and Terminer can hold ses-
sion of the court when the other is physi-
cally incapacitated from being present,
either by illness or absence from the city.
Prosecutor Erwin said he did not under
stand how Mr.. Noonan and Mr.. Speer got
into the case. The lawyers who defended
Quail were Mr. Mccormick and Mr.. Hen
drick, and they had taken out writ of
error. He held that Messrs. Noonan and
Speer had no standing in the court in the
case, and he did not propose to argue the
point raised by Mr.. Noonan.
Mr.. Mccormick made a speech insisting
that he and DIR. Hendrick were the attor-
neys of record, and he thought it unpro-
fessional that the other lawyers should
interfere.
81 have not been paid my full fee,' he
said, '.and until am paid and discharged
l propose to remain in it,
Mr.. Speer remarked that he considered
it rather unprofessional for Mr.. McCor-
own motion simply for the purpose. he
had admitted himself, of collecting his
fee.
Judge Blair dismissed the rule to show
cause, and refused to grant new trial
in view OF the fact that writ of error
had been taken.
A News reporter saw Quail in the jail
and asked him who his lawyers were?
s'Speer and Noonan,'' he replied. u
