HORTON is SUING BISHOP
The Ex-Receiving Teller Ask
Damages For His Uncom-
Portable Time.

An interesting suit In which Charles M.
Horton is plaintiff and David A. Bishop
defendant is on trial in the Supreme
Court today. Horton is suing Bishop for
$40, 0o0 damages.
Horton until November A, 1898, was re-
ceiving teller in the Hudson County Ma
the well known dealer In mules. was a
depositor in the bank. On or about July 2,
1893, Mr.. Bishop went to the bank to make
deposit of $500 In the following August
he notified the officials Of the bank that
the deposit Of $500 had never been carried
into his account. An investigation was at
once set on foot aand was carried on
through the entire summer and until No
vernber J. Warren Hardenbergh, the
cashier, first conducted the investigation
and 1t was afterward taken up by a
special committee Of the Board of Direc-
tors N
Mr. Bishop was positive that he had
made the deposit. He had gone to the
bank for that purpose and there could be
no doubt about it. Receiving Teller H6r-
ton was equally positive that he had not.
Edward Farrier, the assistant receiving
teller did not know anything about 1t.
The committee finally came to the con-
clusion that either Mr.. Horton or Mr.
Farrier was responsible for the disap-
pearance of the money and their resig-
nations were requested. They left the
bank under cloud. Mr.. Horton went to
Bergen county and engaged In the coal
business in Bogota. Farrier did not OBJ
tain any employment.
While looking over some paper in his
box In the Title Guarantee and Trust
Company's office a couple of months
afterward Mr.. Bishop was surprised to
find the package of money folded up in a
bond and mortgage. He remembered then
that just as he was about to step up to
the teller's window to make the deposit
some one called him aside and he left the
bank without making it. Mr. Bishop I'M
mediately informed the bank officials of
his discovery. They offered to reinstate
Horton and, Farrier but Horton declined
to accept the position again. It was then
given to Farrier.
The trial Will continue all day The
plaintiff is represented by William HI.
Speer. Jr., and the defendant by James B.
Vredenburgh.

PROHIBITION PLATFORM.
The Party Ticket for Hud-
son County Was Fixed
Tuesday.

The Prohibitionists of Hudson county
met in convention on Tuesday night at
No. sos Newark avenue. There was a
good attendance of delegates from vari-
Gus parts of the county and enthusiasm
mated the following being the candidates
for the county Offices
Sheriff-Kelly Hester. of West Hoboken.
County Clerk-Philip ]. Meschutt, of
Jersey City
Register-F H. Won Dreele, of Hoboken.
A full county committee was appointed
and arrangements were made for con-
Quoting the campaign. The platform
adopted is:-
1--WE, the rohibitionists Off Hudson
county, N J., in convention assembled,
do hereby present the following decIara-
tion Of principles in asking for the suf-
frages Of the voters of the county in
support of our candidates.
I'VE recognize Almighty God as our
Supreme Ruler, and believe that the prin-
ciple of righteousness should apply in
governmental affairs as well as in mat
tiers moral or spiritual, and that nation
that fails to recognize and be governed
by this principle must inevitably fail.
s'In pursuance of the application of this
principle we maintain that the traffic In
alchoholic liquors is the greatest social,
economic and moral evil with which we
have to contend; as promoting crime and
pauperism; and through its fragrant and
open violations of law, encouraging the
spirit of anarchy, and contempt for all
laws
1--WE denounce the Republican and
Democratic parties as unworthy the sup
port of conscientious voters because Of
their completely with an open support of
the liquor traffic, and because Of the
record that they have made while in
power in this State and county in doing
nothing to control or abolish the evil, but
rather seeking the support Of liquor deal
ers by catering to their wishes in shap-
ing legislation.
I'VE view with horror the pestilential
army canteen which was more productive
of disease and death during the late war
than all other causes combined, and we
denounce the action of the present ad-
ministration and especially the ruling OF
Attorney General Griggs in multiplying the
action of Congress abolishIng the can
teen as the most shameless perversion of
law and Justice.
Experience Of many years having
therefore demonstrated that those who
abhor the liquor evil need look for no
relief through legislation initiated by rep
resentatives of either Of these dominant
parties 1t becomes necessary that they
look elsewhere for relief; and the National
Prohibition party invites all such to unite
with them as the only political power that
is antagonistic to this chief enemy of the
home and the nation
