An Army to Sent Taylor.

1t is stated by General Taylor's friends
that he will be given the certificate of
election as governor of the state of Ken
lucky, and in the face of two repudia-
lions ut the hands of the very men he
appointed to Office Goebel will not dare
to bring his contest before the legisla
ture, for he now knows from hints that
have been dropped that certain but
sufficient number of the legislature will
refuse to unseat Taylor after the state
board has acted, from the fact that the
state board is composed of Goebel's
friends, appointed by him for the very
contingency that now exists, though they
cannot be driven to override public opin-
ion. Mass meetings have been held in
20 counties, at which the anti-Goebel
men offered to Governor Bradley enough
volunteers to put an army~of 10000 men
in the field inside of "A hours to seat
Taylor as governor.

MORRIS COUNTY GOLF.
Scheduled Events ON Local Links Ended
for the Season.


The season at the Morris County
Golf Club was brought to close on
Wednesday so far as the playing of
scheduled events is concerned and it
may be said to have been a most sue
cessful year on these popular links.
Aside from the social phases the club
has held number of events which
appealed to all true lovers of the
popular game. The course is one of
the prettiest and best in this country
and has always been kept in excellent
condition. The international match
with Canada this season and the ma
tional championship contest last year
were two events held over the Nor
ris County course, and that it was Sc
lected for these important matches
proves that the links have a reputa-
tion that extends far beyond the
county and state.
Wednesdays play was the first COM
petition for the Long Course Cup and
it brought out very close finish.
The winner, Mrs. William Shipper,
who on Monday won also the final
competition for the Short Course Cup,
played under the same point system
during the season. Before the start
the points of the three ladies were
Mrs. Shipper 10, Miss Howell Z and
Miss Bryce Z, while Miss Kip, Miss
Hurlburt and Mrs. A. O. Dean were
tied at 6 points. AS the winner re-
ceived 3, the second scorer and the
third point, it was evident that if
Mrs. Shipnen gained point, she
would win out, while, failing this
and in the success of Miss Bryce and
Miss Howell she would still be tied
with the winner. The scores of the

TOO MUCH TROUBLE TO REMEMBER
So Grogan Said When Asked How
Often He Had Been in Jail,

Andrew Grogan, no address; Martin
Brown, of No. q Willow avenue, and
Joseph GorGdon, of NON. GIG Monroe
street, were charged before Recorder
Stanton in Hoboken today with breaking
and entering and held in $500 for the ac-
tion of the Grand Jury.
Officer Kennedy found the door of Will
liam Glendon's saloon, at No. 537 Grand
street, open at 8 o'clock this morning. He
called the proprietor, who lives next door,
and they made search of the premises
together.
1t was at once evident that robbery
had been committed, as the place looked
as if it had been ransacked by an army.
On table in the barroom were num-
Der of half empty whskey bottles and a
box of cigars, and Grogan was discovered
lying on the floor dead drunk, with an
other bottle beside him.
The officers placed him under arrest and
started for the station house with him.
On Willow avenue Behan was seen
staggering along. On seeing the officer
he made feeble attempt to run away.
AS he was known to be a pal of Grogan's
he was also arrested. Gordon was ar
rested 1t his home this morning.

LEFT HIS VICTIM TO Die
Lorenzo Washed Off Sista's
Blood and Left the
City.

Michael Sista, bootblack, with an
establishment at the corner of Grove and
| Morgan streets, was nearly murdered
| shortly before one o'clock this afternoon
| by his partner, John Lorenzo, as the re-
| suit of an argument over the division Of
the receipts and work.
| During the day, when business Is dull,
the men occupy their time doing chores
| about the saloon owned by former Police
! Commissioner James E. Kelly. 1t was in
! the cellar of that place that the fight
occurred.
Sista was in the cellar cleaning it when
Lorenzo entered. Sista asked his partner
| to assist him but Lorenzo refused. Sis
| ia then proceeded with the work, and
| told his partner that he did not think 4
right that he should be imposed upon by
| being compelled to all the work, while Lor-
EMO stood idly by. Lorenzo did not like
| the remarks of Sista. A very heated ar
| gument followed but no blows were
| struck.
| Thinking that the wordy war was at an
| end Sista turned his back and proceeded
to clean. Lorenzo quietly walked to the
rear of the cellar where large tool chest
| is kept and took hammer out of it. He
then stealthily crept up behind Sista and
|
with the weapon.
Sista fell to the floor unconscious and
bleeding profusely from the nose, ears
and mouth. He finally staggered to his
! feet again and received another blow
from the hammer. This time he went
| completely out of business. Before leav--
| ing his victim, who was lying on the
floor Lorenzo gave him violent kick

Mr.. Kelly, who was upstairs in the sa-
loon, heard the fight and rushed down
stairs just as Lorenzo entered the sa-
| loon, by means of a trap door. He was
| covered with Sista's blood.
| Mr.. Kelly did not see the unconscious
form OF the bootbIack. as It lay on the
Lorenzo washing himself at the sink
but thought nothing of that.
After removing the blood from his face
| and hands Lorenzo walked leisurely out
| of the saloon. He even stopped to arrange
| the brushes on the stand In front OF the
| place. That was the last seen OF him.
| When Sista regained conciousness he
| staggered to the saloon. He was slgnt:
He blood had congealed on his face and
Mr.. Kelly was hooked at seeing the
mans condition and hurriedly called Tor
a physician.

The physician saw at a glance that the
victim was badly injured. Because OF the
| swelling it was impossible fer him to
| discover whether or not Sista's skull was
| fractured.
After the wounds were dressed Sista
was assisted to his establishment across
about the place The police were forced
| to clear the street several times

shortly after the fight occurred. Lorenzo
