YOUNG BEGeAR SENT TO JAIL.
Adopted Daughter of Circus Peo-
ple Subject of Money Complaint,

Fourteen year old Lulu Gardiner, of No.
q Mercer street. a remarkably bright and
beautiful girl, was sent to the County
Jail for ten days by Police Justice Hoos
today on charge of begging. She was
also accused of being disorderly per-
son and committing petit larceny. Police
Captain Cody had received numerous
complaints about her begging. He was
told that she had been sent out to do so
by her fother father, Frank A. Gardiner
and his wife, well known circus people.
Detective Dan Lee made the arrest on
charges preferred by Mrs. Mary Howdell
of No. 2S5 Montgomery street, who
claimed the girl was using bad influence
over~her six year old son Frank A num-
ber Of bartenders and Charlie Sam, a
laundryman of No. 543 Jersey avenue, tes-
man testified that she stole so cents from
her cash drawer.
Gardiner, the girls foster father, was
at one time a wealthy circus proprietor,
but he lost his fortune and he lives in
furnished room at the address given
above.
Mrs. DAILY, who keeps the house, testi-
fed that the girl told her that Gardiner
threatened to beat her if she refused to
beg Mrs. Daily also testified that she
overheard a conversation between Gardi-
ner and the girl in which he ordered her
to get up early in the morning and
work the grocery and meat stores.
The girl, on the stand, testified that
Gardiner and his wife had been even
more than a father and mother to her
and that they always treated her kindly
The girl was found in the streets of
South American city rhile Gardeners cir
Gus was showing there. She was then
but two years old Her mother had died
and Mrs. Gardiner adopted the child.
Several years later she was taught to do
flying trapeze work. With the show at
the time was Henriaue Banderia, who
now lives at No. go Bowery, New York.
Gardiner had Banderia arrested on Decor
alton Day last in this city for sending
him an obscene letter. At the trial it was
demonstrated that GARDENERS chief OBJ
lection to Banderia was that he paid too
much attention to Lulu.

question on cross examination Mr.
Leonard was UP on his feet like jack-in-
the-box with an objection, but before the
Court could rule on the question the
woman said she was. With Tightening
rapidity Mr.. Weller fired in several other
questions in the same line and finally
when the Court could be heard they were
all ruled out
Several other witnesses corroborated
the testimony as to the assault and the
complainant rested Mr.. Weller moved
non-suit, but his motion was denied.
He then outlined the defense which was
that the Rosenbergs quarrelled with
Mrs. Carol and assaulted her. Mrs Car
roll at the time was just recovering from
an operation tuner at time
and whas physically unable to
commit the assault complained of. Mrs.
Carroll testified in this line and DR.. Simon
told of her operation. The summing up
was another two ring circus with a clown
in each. The counsel called each other all
sorts of names and each accused the
other of all sorts of unprofessional con-
duct and in short shed everything but
lustre on the har of Hudson county. The
jury gave the plaintiff verdict of s25.

A eREWsoME PICTURE.

A strange picture of an incident of the
big harbor fire is in the possession Of
James Geolot. an amateur photographer
Of Hoboken. 1t is of two men fighing for
a small length of plank in the water
Neither of the poor wretches presumably
could swim and the look of mingled
anxiety and grim determination on the
faces is marked strongly. Geolot, who is
a member of the High School, was on the
tug Etude when he cnapped the scene.
The man forced off the plank was drown
ed. The other was picked UP by the tug.
Both We're seamen on the i'll fated Saale.

APP 0 INTMENT TUESDAY.
Governor Voorhees, Says He
Is Considering Several
Justiceship Candi-
dates.
Especial to "The Jersey city News."l

ISpeclai TO line Jersey City News
TRENTON, July II, 19O0.-There are
reasons for believing that Governor Voor-
hees will announce the name of Justice
Lippincott's successor next Tuesday. The
Governor has already said that he will fill
the place of the dead jurist by appoint
ing only a lawyer of the Democratic
party. During the most bitter political
struggles in New Jersey both parties have
maintained that the Supreme Court bench
should remain non-partisan, and while at
times the bench had had a majority one
way or the other, there has never been
even suspicion that politics swayed a
judgment.
1t is understood that Gov VOORHEES, sub
mitted to Chief Justice Magic the several
names suggested to him for the vacant
place, but the Chief Justice was unable
to make choice, he declaring that any of
them would be acceptable additions to the
Supreme Court bench
Being asked yesterday whenh he would
make the appointment. Gov VOORHEES,
said:-"While the names of several prom
inent lawyers have been mentioned to
me, still the friends of none of them
have begun as yet to push teir respective
cf1iLlS, d. luSy TeCoSIilZe the IacL Jnat 1t
would be little premature to do so.
The appointee, as 1 have stated, will. be
a Democrat, and only lawyers of that
political faith will be considered by me
in connection with the position have
under consideration Richard " Linda
bury, of Newark: former Judge A. Q.
Garretson of Jersey City. former Speaker
James ]. Bergen, Somervilqe; Eugene Ste
venson, of Paterson; Garret D. w Vroom
of Trenton, Congressman w. D. Daily and
others. Vice Chancellor Stevens's name
has also been mentioned. / may say
that all the names that have been sub
mitted to me for consideration are those
of men of ability, any of whom, / feel,
would reflect credit on the Supreme
Court BENCH
1t is understood that Mr.. vroom, of
Trenton. has been told that he could have
the place, but he is not anxious to accept
the responsibility. The Governor would
have nothing to say about the appoint
ment. That he will not appoint Hud-
son county man seems certain
With the exception of Justice Garretson.
all of the present members of the Supreme
Court are residents Of that section of the
State north Of Trenton Two Justices.
Collins and Dixon, live in Hudson county,
and three, Chief Justice Depue and Jus-
tees Gummere and Fort. In Essex county.
e Is not at all likely, therefore that the
Governor will so to the north for sue
that ex-governor Wertssa chances are not
so good as WIS thought.

s'e;zed with a fit and was swapping at
passers by. The owner of the dog caught
It by the throat and then tied it to a post
and it was killed. The next morning the

orde by its presence objected, for again it
was moved.
The dogs body is SWOLLEN to twice its
natural size and its presence is painfully
evident at some distance. Although notice
has been given repeatedly, Vatcky has
not yet sent his wagon to remove it.

THE FIRE OF BOfRS WAS TOO FIERCE

-Otherwise CheerfuINews Fails
60 Dispel Dark F~orcboding..

A dispatch from London, dated Jan
nary ~, at 4 a. m, says: Seven days of
fighting have left the main Boer posi-
ton intact, and General Buffers army
7O6 weaker, according to the official
casualty lists, which seemingly do not
include the Spion kop losses, as those
last forwarded do not mention General
Woodgate's wounding.
England is possessed with a depress-
ing sense of failure, although not a
word OF criticism of her generals and
soldiers is uttered. Not much effort is
made to place a happy construction
upon General Buffers bare eighteen
words telling of the retirement from
Spion kop, and there is an uneasy i'm
preston abroad that worse news is vet
to come, At one of The military clubs
tonight the statement passed from one
member to another that the war office
had received an unpleasant supplement
tary dispatch from General Butler,
which was being held up for twelve
hours.
Spencer Wilkinson, in the Morning
Post, writes as TO lows of the Spion
kop losses:
This is a serious matter, and an at
tempt will not here be made to mini
miye 1T, for no greater wrong can be
done to our people at home than to
mislead them about the significance Of
the events of the war. The right way
is to tell the truth as far as we know
IT,"
The war Office has just posted the
following dispatch from General Bull
Ter, dated at Spearman's camp, Tues
day, January 25, noon,
General Warren's garrison, / am
sorry TO say, / find this morning had
In the night abandoned Spion kop."
Six officers and eighteen non-com-
smissioned officers and men were killed.
Twelve officers and lac non-commis-
STONED officers and men were wounded
and t~hirty-one men are missing.
IL appears hat the Beers had a bet
ter range on the British troops when
S4hey occupied the hill. Its capture was
conspiciously easy. A CALLING fire was
poured upon Warren's forces night and
day. Being unable to advance further
he temporarily withdrew to shield his
troops from the hail Of iron and lead
which was reducing his command. His
men fought gallantly throughout.
Another advance is being planned.
. n Although England's nerves are Sc
verely tried, her nerve is absolutely un
shaken, and probably nothing that car
happen in South Africa will change in
the slightest degree her intentions
She will eontiuue TO receive bad news
Hit does come. with dignity, and will,
maintain her determination to win at
last.
