Is cents per hundred for cotton pick
ing. but THE News is told that the
ruling prize is 30 cents, with prospects
of it's being reduced to rs cents.
When the price of cotton was lZ12
cents per pound the price paid TOR
picking was so cents per hundred
pounds. Now the price of the staple
is reduced one-half, and tits only reas-,
enable Unat the price Of picking should
be reduced in like manner.
A price higher than this will be out
of proportion to the value of the work
unless the staple goes higher than 3
cents per pound.

odd Fellows at Trenton This
Week.
TRENT N, Nov. Is There was a large
attendance at the sixty-sixth annual ses-
sion of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows
of New Jersey, which convened in
Masonic Temple this morning, with
Grand Master Malcolm B. Wood in the
chair.
In his report the Grand Master re-
ferred to the Odd Fellows Home, To-
Gated in this city, and advised that it be
taken under the care and keeping of the
Grand lodge. He contended that every
Grand Lodge should have Home for
aged members of the Order, so that none
of them might be left homeless in their
old age. He also mentioned the orphan
ago for the care of the little ones, and ad-
vised greater generosity in its behalf
For some time past there has been an
agitation looking toward the Grand
Lodge taking charge of the institution.
Grand Secretary Lewis Parker reported
255 lodges-two new ones having been in
stituted during the year, viz: at Camden
and Closter, and one lodge has sur
rendered its charter. The total number
of members is 24,269 The amount paid
out during the past year for relief is $685.
26i,50, and the receipts are $2S3, ,O4S OIL.
The session to morrow will include the
election of officers and the completion of
other business.

Prosperity ON Tan.

Prosperity has taken theplace of adver-
sity, The entire country feels the effect
of the change in control of the govern
ment and the wise legislation which the
change has brought.
The report of the great gains in the out
put of the iron and steel mills and the tex
tile industries, the vast increase in the
bank clearances and the immense expan-
sion in the railroad transportation are
here explained.
The wage workers of the country are
buster than they ever were before, and
they are getting more money for their
labor.
AS themasses receive moro money than
they did before, they spend more, and
thus a new impetus is given to the
wheels of industry in all fields.
The Intelligent wage Garner, when ask
ing the cause of the great improvement
in his condition, immediately~finds the
correct answer. 1t is all due to the over
throw OF the Democratic party in 1885,

SERIOUS CHARGE.
Mr.. Bacon Says That Justice L. T, Ntch.Is
"Doctor+d d" Court Papers to Boil
ster Up his Case.

| Last Friday morning Justice Nichols
had Fred'k Pnrambus before him charged
with disorderly conduct. He was given
trial, and it is charged, that Mr.. Nichols
refused to swear witnesses for the de-
fence, and then sentenced Phrambus to
Jail for thirty days.
AS soon as the defendant had been sent
to Jail, the matter was put in the hands of
walter ii. Bacon, the lawyer, and that
gentleman sent his clerk to get copies of
the papers. A copy of the commitment
revealed the fact that Justice Nichols
whole action was without any warrant of
law, for he had based the proceedings
upon the act of 1875, which had been re-
pealed more than year ago.
Mr.. Bacon's clerk then visited Justice
Nichols Office 10 est copy of the com
plant and hftwi hstanding it was pub
lie document. MIR. Nichols refused to
show it. Mr.. Bacon then personally WIS.,
tied the Justice. AID Mr.. Nichols was OF
quite so dignfied. for he furnished the
complaint to Mr.. Bacon, after an argu-
ment and Mr.. Bacon made copy of the
complaint upon one of Mr.. Nichols own
blanks, in the presence of the Justice.
Monday, Mr.. Bacon appeared be.
fore Judge Trenchard with an applica-
ton for the discharge of Phrambus. One
OF his reasons was the insufficency of the
complaint, as it did not set forth the
offense charged. Judge Trenchard called
attention to the fact that the complaint
which had beed filed with the papers by
the Justice, was very particular in that
respect
Mr.. Bacon looked over the papers
moment and charg ed with emphasissthat
the Justice had perpetrated a fraud upon
the court by substituting another and
entirely different complaint from the
original, and asked that the court would
file the papers and mark them, as he
proposed to take cognizance ofthe matter.
Other reasons for the discharge of
Phrambus wore that the Justice had con-
victed him under the act of 1875, which
was repealed
OF course this was sufficient grounds
for discharge, and Judge Trenchard i'm
mediately ordered the release of Phram.

Mrs. oresswell Discharged.

Mrs. Cresswell and Mrs. Alkire were
given hearing before Justice Powell
Tuesday afternoon. The women were
arraigned before the justice on charge
preferred by their neighbors, of a dis
orderly house. John S. Mitchell, Esq,
represented the defendants, the accuser
being Miss Eve Cook. The only evidence
offered of disorderly house was that
there was considerable noise in Mrs.
Cresswell's, that of squeaking shoes worn
by her, and the loud talking of Mrs. AL
kire to her mother, on account of the latter
being deaf. This being the testimony
against the accused, the Justice promptly
discharged them, it being very careless
arrest.
