THE JURY SAYS MURDER.
Infant Met Death at the Hands OF
Person or Persons Unknown.

Infant Met Death at the Hands of
Person or Persons Unknown.
Monday night Coroner Samuel
Leonard held an inquest on the
death of the infant found in Burke S
woods, Woodland avenue, ON May 49,
Three witnesses were called. They
were Frederick de Groot, who found
the body, DR.. Joseph E. Wright, who
made the examination of the corpse,
and Roundsman Lewis Hendershot.
From the testimony taken it appeared
that the infant might have been from
one to seven days old at the time of
death. After deliberating a few
minutes the jury brought in verdict
of death at the hands of some person
or persons unknown.
This is a charge of murder against
persons unknown, nevertheless it is
murder and it behooves the police de-
partment to look into the case with
more than cursory glance and dis
cover, if possible, the persons respon-
sible for the death of the infant

Washington, D. c., June by
spasmodic jerks the first session
of the Fifty sixth Congress came to
an end this afternoon. When the
end was finally reached, Uncle Joe"
Cannon, of Illinois, was chewing the
bitter cud of defeat, and Candidate
Sulzer was still defantly tossing his
name and shrieking against the trusts.
President Mckinley and his Cabinet
attend the obsequies, which were de-
void of especial interest.
The veterans of the civil war under
the lead of the G. A. r., succeeded in
having the pension law of 1890
amended so as to settle in favor of the
applicant for pension matter the
Pension Office has long decided
against them. To procure pension
able status the applicant was obliged
under the rulings of that Office to
show single disability sufficient to
entitle him to pension. He might
have several slight disabilities which
untitled him for manual labor, but un-
less some one of them standing by it,
self was sufficient to make his case
pensionable his application was de-
MED by the Pension Office. The
amendment secured by the G. A. r.
requires the Pension Office to consider
all the disabilities under which an APP
plicant may labor and to aggregate
them and If thus aggregated they
reach the pensionable limit he is to
be pensioned the same as though he
reached that limit from a single disa-
bility.
The most important bill hung up
between the two Houses was that
providing for the construction of the

The House passed the measure known
as the Hepburn bill. The Senate
Committee ON Interoceanic Canals re-
ported it to the Senate favorably and
Senator Morgan made strenuous
efforts to have it taken up, and voted
upon, but failed, it will therefore lie
dormant until next winter, by which
time it is hoped the Walker Com
mission, appointed to examine the
various routes for an isthmian canal
will make its report.

Sweetmarsh is great sidewheeler,

did he lose his great race against time
last Saturday?
1t all came about this way; /; Sweet
marsh has been doing great stunts
ever since he struck the turf three
years ago. He has won race after
race, taken second money when he
couldn't get first, made track record
of 2.1S14, and generally showed him
self full of speed and ginger. But he
has always been driven with hopples,
excepting late in the season after he
has been working long and hard when
it is possible to drive him a mile OF
two without rigging or tackle.

Charles H. Ketcham, successor of
Raymond DuPuy as superintendent of
the Morris and Essex Division of the
Lackawanna, is making many friends
in his new position Like his prede-
cessor, and other officers of the road,
he is approachable and always has
time for those who wish to see him
on business whether employees of the
road or otherwise. He was born in
Rock Island, ILL.,, in 1855. His first
work was on the track from which he
was advanced to the position Of tele-
graph operator Later he was engaged
on several roads in the west and south,
including the Louisville and Nash
vile, Chicago and Alton, and the
Wabash, acquiring wide and varied
experience, which was not overlooked
by railroad managers, for in 1898 he
was made superintendent of the Dun
kirk, Allegheny Valley and Pittsburg
road and shortly thereafter he was
called to similar position on the
Buffalo division of the West Shore,
occupying both positions until 1896.
He remained on the Buffalo division
until it was absorbed by the New
York Central, when he was made agent
at the Franklin street station for the
West Shore in New York City. On

THIRD GAME OF THE SERIES.
Next Saturday afternoon the Man

Orange Athletics will play their third
game ON the Orange Oval, Grove
street, East Orange. The teams broke
even in the two games they played on
Decoration Day. In consequence this
game, which was to have been con-
tested last Saturday, but was post
poned ON account of rain, will decide
the merits of the teams. Lawson will
be in the box for Orange and is
counted on to repeat his performance
of Decoration Day afternoon when he

did not get one clean hit off him. The
game will be called at g. 45 p. M.

a fine quality of ball dished out when
they get there.
The Knickerbockers go to Brookside
to show the B. A. G. how first class
ball is played. This is the Knickers
first game and they are going to try
and make record.
At Morris Plains the "Medicos"

PRISONERS SENTENCED.
Eighteen Months for Assault and Battery
Two Years for Bigamy.


Two Years for Bigamy.
Sitting in the Court of Quarter
Sessions Monday Judge vreeland
passed sentence on the several prison
ers recently convicted.
Edward Haggerty was given eigh-
teen months at hard labor in the state
prison. The crime for which Haggerty
was punished was that Of assault
and battery, the victim being
William Struble. The assault took
place on April "a At the time Hag-
gerty was in state of intoxication.
What ever led him to make the as
sault no one knows. He says he re-
members nothing about it but at all
events the assault was so serious that
at first it was feared Struble would
die. In the event of death ensuing
Haggerty would have had to stand
trial for murder instead of assault and
battery. In passing the sentence Judge
Vreeland told Haggerty that drunken
ness was no excuse for crime and that
he ought to feel very thankful Struble
had not died. Haggerty took his SEN
tence without exhibiting emotion.
John J. Schott was given two years
in the state prison, the charge being
bigamy. Schott was arrested last Oc-
tober and has been in Jail ever since.
In his capacity as master mechanic
Schott has had to travel around the
country great deal. He came to
Morristown last fall and short time
after married Mary l.. Nelson, the
Rev. S. q. Batten performing the
ceremony. Not long after it was dis
covered that he had wife and three
children living in Reading, Pa. He
was at once arrested and District At
torney Mills set about collecting evil
dence in the case.
A trip to Pennsylvania resulted in
the refusal Of the legal wife to prose
cut. The second wife would not prose
cute either. However. no prosecution
was necessary as Schott pleaded guilty
to the charge when arraigned.
Before Schott was sentenced Attor-
ney Charles Stillwell, Jr., made a
plea for light sentence for the
prisoner. He based his plea on the
fact that Schott had supported his
legal family even after his illegal
marriage. That he was drunk at the
time he contracted the second mar.
riage, or if not drunk just recovering
from protracted spree and there
fore not able to judge what he was
doing. That the defendant was in
very poor health and that long tern
in prison would mean his death.
DR.. Joseph E. Wright, the jail ply.
sician, testified that Schott was il
poor physical condition. Taking al
this into consideration Judge Vree.
land made the sentence as light as
possible, imposing confinement Of
only two years on the prisoner where
he might have been sent up for ten
| years under the statute.
Bert Thomas, of Rockaway, was
sent to the state home for boys. He
had been convicted of criminal assault.

2.101s. He imediately conceived the
idea that with little practice the
geIding could work all season i'll the
same shape. He even went so far as
to make the suggestion to B. H. Dem
Arrest, Sweetmarsh' owner.
why, he couldn't do mile in 40, y
said Demarest in a tone of disgust,
cat least not this early in the sea-
son. %
"That depends on who's driving, :"
said Emery, with look of superior
wisdom.
"Not with any driver that ever sat
i'll a sulxy,'' replied Demarest with
conviction. "I've got money that
says so.
That was two weeks ago. Mr..
Emery thought the matter over lit
tie, saw the gelding work, thought he
saw easy money coming his way, and
told Mr.. Demarest that $40 would be
about the figure necessary to pull the
event off. So it was arranged, Emery
and W. H. Cook betting that Sweet
marsh could do mile under "a
without hopples; Demarest, Walter j.
Snyder and LaMont Guerin taking the
other end of the bet.
1t was agreed that the race should
take place on Saturday, June 2, at
O'Clock i'll the afternoon. The day
came around all right but it was not
the best for any kind of an event.
The track was heavy, it rained almost
necessarily, it looked as if mud skiffs
would have to be used to navigate the
oval. But Mr.. Emery only smiled
knowingly and brought the nag out
for practice.
Promptly at 8 o'clock, in pouring
rain, Mr.. Emery and the gelding
started for the track. A large crowd
might have been out had it not been
for the rain. AS it was, only interested
parties and the stable boys occupied
seats in the grand stand. The boys
took sides and bet cigars and peanuts
freely while Sweetmarsh was tuning
up for the event.
After a few minutes scoring the
judges saw what appeared to be au
animated water spout or mud spout
moving down ON them. They decided
that Mr.. Emery was ready for the
trial heat and ticked their watches as
he passed under the wire in the centre
of the agitated mud.
"They're off They're off" shout
ed the stable boys from the grand
stand in imitation of the Brighton
Beach crowd on handicap day
Sweetmarsh moved away towards
the quarter pole like cylone. He
passed the quarter in .53 and raced on
to the half. How he flew, how the
mud flew, how the rain fell. how
Demarest's hopes fell. By the half
in /. 10. On to the three-quarter post
like speeder. The spectators held
their breath. 1t was ecxiting, fasci-
mating, drenching and it looked like
the easiest kind of money for the
driver.

RATHER SLIPPERY BALL.
Rain Gould Not Dampen the Ardor of the
Enthusiastic Players.

Rain Could Not Dampen the Ardor of the
Enthusiastic Players.
Wet weather is not especially CON
ductive to good sport of any kind,
therefore it is not surprising that a
poor article of ball was served up on
the Field Club grounds last Saturday.
Had the weather been dry there is no
reason to doubt but that fine exhi-
bition of the great American game
would have been given. The opposing
teams, Crescents of Brooklyn and
Morristown Field Club. are the crack
organizations of the Amateur League
and they were prepared to put up
great ball. AS it was they played two
innings in a pouring rain and four
innings in the dusk. 1t is very doubt
full if game was ever conducted un-
der more inauspicious circumstances.
But they were enthusiastic. Every
one was enthusiastic and the grand
stand was we'll filed with ladies and
gentlemen despite the condition of the
atmosphere. 3sfR{F
One of the features of the game was
the impartial umpiring of Linkauff,
he of the fog horn voice, of the Shakes
perean attitude, who caused many a
hearty laugh and kept the dropping
spirits of the crowd above the zero
mark.
For the first inning it looked very
much as though the Field Club would
have walk-over. The members of
the home team found Blair for several
hits. They swiped everything that
came over the plate, brought in three
runs and generally did good work. In
the other half White, the Field Club
pitcher, held down the visitors to a
couple stray hits and no runs.
But in the second inning the story
changed. 1t was raining. White lost
control of the ball. He was continual
ly trying to throw over the moon and
had it not been for the magnificent
backstop work of Allen the visitors
might have piled up score as high
as the grand stand AS it was they
got six runs but none of them were
earned. 1t was rather sorrowful
affair but not the fault of White be-
cause the ball was so slippery that he
could hardly hold it at all.
After the second innings rest of
half an hour was taken and during
that time it stopped raining. The last
four innings were played while the
dusk deepened. No very brilliant plays
were made and no very bad errors.
Some of the visitors were caught
asleep on bases and this helped to en-
liven the game. The home team
managed to partly regain the ground
lost in that destructive second inning.
But they could not quite even up the
score although they probably would
have done so could they have played
nine full innings. The score for six
innings follows:
