JUSTICE DUFFY'S DILEMMA
He Don't Know Wheather He
the Victim of a Joke
or Not.

Justice of the Peace John Duffy can
not make up his mind today whether he
is the victim of a joke or not. Some day
when business is slack he will sit down
and try to think it out. Mr.. Duffy
keeps a boarding and livery stable at
No. 27 Montgomery street, where he has
horses. carriages and wagons to let. He
also there follows the justice of the
peace calling, his chief specially in which
is performing the marriage ceremony.
Whenever an clipping or any other
couple wished to be married at Taylor's
Hotel it has been the custom of the man
agement to send bell boy to Mr.. Duffy's
office with request that the Justice
come to the hotel and tie the knot. Mr..
Duffy always responded with alacrity for,
as a rule, any couple which stopped at
Taylor's Hotel, was good for fat fee
But as all know, every rule is proved by
it's exceptions, there was an exception to
this rule One evening Mr.. Duff
fy was summoned to the hotel
and found fasionably attlreo
and to all appearances very swell couple
awaiting him. He quickly made them
man and wife, and was made glad by the
new groom, who. without much ostenta-
ton, handed him a sealed envelope. Mr..
Duffy was too polite to open the envelope
there, but as he slipped 1t into his pocket
he slyly felt of If and became satisfied
that it contained a bill of a lofty denomi-
nation. When he reached his office and
tore open the envelope he found enclosed
an old cancelled beer keg stamp.
This morning Taylors Hotel bell boy
presented himself at Mr.. Duffs Justice

GR|FF|NG OBJECTS
He Wants to Regain Control
of the Iron Work From
7. H. Williams.

Sensational charges are made against
Thomas Williams, former president and
general manager of the A. A. Gritfing
Iron Company, of New Jersey, and Sam
uel Tompkins, former treasurer Of the
same company, in an affidavit flled be-
fore Judge Beach, in Part |. of the SUI
-preme Court of New York yesterday oy
Edward S. Grifing, the former general
counsel and until last May the treasurer
of the company.
Mr.. E.. Griffing was called upon to
show cause why he should deliver up
to the new officials of the company GER
tain papers alleged to be in his possess
sion.
In reply Mr.. Griffing alleges that
Thomas Williams and Samuel Tompkins
in 1886 bought certain patents for less
than $500 and sold them to the company,
of (which they were officials for $4,000;
sthat in order to conceal this transact
ton Williams issued a false and fraudu-
lent annual report to the stockholders;
that the transaction in question was a
crime under the laws of New Jersey, al
though it was only discovered after the
statute of limitations had run. Further,
that Thomas H. Williams, as President
of the Griffing Company. had been trans
acting business with E. A. Williams &
Son, brass founders, of which he was
practically sole owner, to his own bene-
fit and to the detriment of the stock
holders of the Griffing Company; that, in
fact, he had used the latter firm as a
''go-between''; had bought goods from
them at advanced prices and sold goods
to them at naked cost, thereby Illegally
obtaining from $4,000 to $100, 900.
The A. A. Griffing Iron Company, in
May, 1898. appointed Edward S. Griffing
general counsel. He investigated the af-
fairs of the company, and he alleges in
his affidavit that he found proof of cor
ruption among the officials of the com
pany, as stated above. This evidence
was laid before a general meeting
called by a majority of the stockhold-
ers on December %, 1898, when Williams
and Tompkins were removed. Among
the new directors elected were Isaac c.
Ogden, of East Orange, and James l..
Ogden, of Jersey City. These two direc-
tors, with Charles f. Imbrie, of No. IS
Vesey street. New York, voted at meet
ings of the directors between January /
and May l. 1899, to commence suit
against Thomas H. Williams and Samuel
D. Tompkins, to recover $4,000 that it
was alleged they had misappropriated
In May last Mr.. Edward C. F. Young,
President of the First National Bank, of
Jersey City, was elected President of the
Griffing Company; Thomas II. Williams
returned TO office as Vice President, and
Isaac c. Ogden became Secretary and
Treasurer at salary of 600 year.
Edward, Griffing, in his affidavit, alleges
that Thomas Fl. Williams, Isaac C. Og-
den, Charles F. Imbrie, George Conkin
and Edward C. F. Young decided to dis
continue the suits against Williams and
Tompkins. Young and Isaac Ogden only
own ten recently acquired shares apiece,
the total number being 5000.

John II. McLean'S
Great Newspaper,

Without a single exception, there
Is beyond doubt no greater or moro
popular newspaper in the United
States than the Cincinnati Enquirer !,
or more successful publisher than
its proprietor, Mr.. John R. Mclean.
sThe old-time prices for the Daily
Enquirer have been maintained, and
its circulation largely increased each
year; hard times and cheaper jour-
mails failing to arrest its onward march
and high appreciation Of the public
for its true worth and merit.
The Weekly Enquirer at beginning
Of the campaign year was offered at
50 cents = year, apd its circulation
increased by the addition of over
400, 900 new subscribers; the moss
substantial and coveted testimonial a
publisher could desire.
When asked for the secret of such
success, Mr.. Mclean frankly answers :
The Enquirer has no opinions to force
upon its patrons, it simply prints the
facts and tells the truth that the reader
may form his own opinions. By
maintaining the price of the paper,
more news and greater variety can be
furnished, and every class of business
interests catered to, which cheaper
journal cannot afford.
The very liberal support given the
Enquirer by the public at large, makes
it incumbent upon the management
to serve it faithfully with zeal and en-
terprise in minor matters as well az
those of greater magnitude.
