Somsrset's Senatorship.

It is reported that the Democrats Of
Somerset county propose nominating
James j. Bergen of Somerville to run
against Charles Arthur Reed for the SEN
ate next fall. This would be a wise and
judicious nomination. Mir. Bergen Is one
of the strongest men in the party in that
county. and he has demonstrated his
strength on more than one occasion. He
has been four times elected to the Legls-
lature by large majorities for that phe-
nomenally close county. In 1876, he did ex-
cellent service on the committee appointed
to prepare amendments to the State Con-
stitution, md as Speaker of the Assem-
bly, during the sessions of 1891 and 1892 he
proved himself a man of executive
ability.
Mr.. Bergen has also occupied many To-
cal offices in Somerset county and from
1871 to 1883 he satisfactorily filled the post
of Prosecutor of the Pleas. He is in every
way equipped to sit in the Senate and his
presence will add strength to that body.

UNCLE WAS THE AGGRESSION
So Justice Nevin Released
OsRourke's Niece and Nephew

John O'Rourke, who resides at No. 224
Wayne street, accused his niece and
nephew, Bernard and Mary McGovern,
of the same address, several days ago,
of obtaining property owned by him, UNI
der false pretences. This accusation was
the cause of trouble. The McGoverns re-
ented the insult, and inflicted a severe
beating on O'Rourke.
Bernard McGovern testified that on
June 10 O'Rourke came home drunk He
forced his way into McGovern's room
and was thrown out. O'Rourke claimed
that his niece in the course of this fight
struck him over the head with a stove
litter. O'Rourke then secured warrants
for the arrest of the McGoverns.
The evidence given in 0 this morn
ing proved to Justice Nevin's satisfaction

missed. McGovern was compelled to sign
a bond to keep the peace.

OF FAITH CURE :.
Five Months Old Baby Said
to Have Died Under
Such Treatment.

The police of the city AVE a death on
their hands which they are investigating.
The victim was an eight months old
baby, who, five weeks ago, was taken
sick with measles. The mother of the
child called in a we'll known physician,
who resides on Wayne street. The physi-
clan prescribed medicine for the infant,
which was purchased.
The mother of the child called In a
neighbor, who, it is said, is a believer
in faith cure, to remain with the sick
child while she went out to the drug
store. The medicine was brought back
to the house. Nj mother was about to
administer the prescribed dose to the in
FAINT when, it is said, her friend objected.
The friend told the mother of the child
that if she believed in God, praying would
do more good h all the medicine she
could buy. After a few minutes CONSUL
tation, the latter course was decided upon
and no medicine was administered. Inc
bottle was thrown aside.
Exactly half an hour after the little one
breathed it's last. 1t died in great agony
The physician, thinking thai the mother
of the child had ollowed his ADVICE,
granted a death certificate.
1t was not until yesterday that the con-
dition of affairs leaked out. The rumor
that the little one died a victim to faith
cure reached the ears of the physician
He Immediately reported the matter to
the police and asked their aid in bringing
the faith curists to justice. The physician
is highly incensed. He promised to push
the matter to the end.
The police are working hard on the case
and they hope within the next few days
to have all concerned under arrest. They
refuse to divulge the names of the parties
interested. For the reason that the
mother of the child is out of town and
the house in which she resides on Third
street is ocked up, the names are with
held for the present.

STRUCK JURY FOR ROCHE
Lawyer Grouse Objects to It--Asks
a Common Jury.

Justice Lippincott and Judge Blair sat
in the Oyer and Terminer Court while
Prosecutor Erwin and Lawyer Otto
Grouse struck forty-eight names off the
list of ninety-six submitted by the Court,
from which a trial jury will be drawn to
try jeremiah Roche for the murder of his
wife Christina. The trial was set down
for July 6.
After the striking had been completed
Mr.. Grouse made a formal objection to
the struck jury. He said that his client
is entitled to be tried by a common jury
and also that the struck jury was lille
gally drawn as the defendant is entitled
to be confronted by the jurors both be-
fore and after the striking. The Court
overruled the objections.
The murder was committed in Hoboken
on January %. Roche, who is said to have
been actuated by jealousy, followed his
wife into a store and shot her down.

SAYS HIS FRIEND STOLE MONEY
But Police Refused to Believe the
Story.

Patrick Connors, of Nc. 27 Monmouth
street, accosted Policeman Carroll on the
street, early this morning, and told him
he had been knocked down in the hall
way of his home and robbed of s. or 50,
by a man named Alexander Sweeney, 80
years old, of No. 2S Van Dan street, New
York. Officer Carroll found Sweeney very
drunk a few blocks away from the scene
of the alleged robbery. He was placed
under arrest and was brought to the
Gregory street station.
Connors stated that he and Sweeney
had been drinking together in several sa-
looms. Sweeney saw what money he had
and when his home was reached Sweeney
knocked him down and stole the money.
The police do not believe the story, as
both men were drunk. 1t is thought
that Connors is not telling the truth.
