such "a great age are Mrs. Hannah
Barlow, of Catherine street, New
Brunswick, who is 1O4. and Noah
Raby, an inmate of the poor farm at
Piscataway, who is 12S years old. For
nearly half a century Raby has been
an inmate of the Poorhouse, three
miles from New Brunswick. His
mother was an English woman
named Morning Raby. and his father
was a full-blooded Indian, Andrew Bass.
Mrs. Hannah Barlow, New Bruins
wick's Oldest inhabitant, has an inter-
esting history. She is the daughter
of Barney HOrtwick, who was the sex
ton Of Christ Church from 1863 to
1920. She worked at the old Bellonia
Hotel, in Burnet street, kept by the
late Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt,
where he made the money with which
he founded a line of freight boats
between New York and New Bruins
wick. Mrs. Barlow has lived in New

Found Dead by the Track.

A track walker on the Greenwood
Lake Railroad found the body Of Pat
rick Downey lying near the track
about 400 feet from the Singac
station at daybreak a few mornings
ago. County Physician Mcbride was
notified, and after hearing evidence
he decided to institute a thorough in
vestigation, as there is a strong sus-
picion Of foul play. Downey was
q construction foreman on the
East Jersey Water Company's pipe
line and was about thirty years of
age. He lived at Little Falls with
his parents. On his way home
he stopped at Fox's Hotel, Singac,
and took part in a dance that was
going on. It was nearly midnight
when he left. When found in the morn
ing the body of the young man was
not mangled and it did not show any
evidence of having been struck by
"a locomotive other than a deep cash
in the back Of the head. Downey's
hat was found at the station. There
was no money in the pockets of his
clothes. 1t is possible that he was
struck by a locomotive, but the Coun-
ty Physician is inclined to believe that
he was murdered.

Sp0rta's Hermit Dead.
Fifty-two years ago Joseph Winter,
mute, a young farmer, was to have
been married to Wilhelmina Stoll. On
the eve of the wedding she disap-
peared. A brother of Wintermute's
was also missing. Neither one has
ever been seen or heard of since. Win
termute after a time also disappeared.
About thirty years ago two men who
were hunting in the deep woods on
the mountains between Sparta and
Weodfort found a cabin occupied by
a Withholding being. who was enraged
at the intrusion. In time the hermit
came to look upon his casual visitors
with less hatred. It was early dis
covered that he would not tolerate the
approach of women visitors to his
cabin. One day last week the Hermit Of
Sparta, as the recluse was known, was
found dead in his hut. Nothing was
found in the hut to fix the identity of
the hermit, but no one doubts that he
was Joseph Wintermute.

THE ILLINOIS CONVENTION.
The National Administration Defeats the Tan
ner-Hanecy Faction.
lBv The Associated Press


Convention Hail. Peoria, Ills, May S.
The initial contest in the Republican
State Convention today proved a defeat
for the Tanner Hanecy faction. The
State Central Committee had chosen John
j. Brown. of Vandalia, a Tanner man,
temporary chairman. The Cullom- Reeves
Carter combination executed a master
stroke by naming Charles G. Dawes,
Comptroller of the Currency.
Owing to the close Identification of Mr.
Dawes with the National Administration
the effect was to give the opposition to
the Tanner Hanecy faction the apparent
sanction Of the President. Dawes was
elected temporary chairman by vote of
799 to 725 for Brown.
Mr.. Dawes said he believed people are
willing to recognize the benefits in the
way of cheaper prices through limited
and proper combination Of capital and
effort, and are not opposed to any corpora
ton simply because it is large. But
when by combination he continued,
competition is suppressed and the saw
ing which combination makes possible is
not only appropriated by the corporation,
but in addition an unreasonable level of
prices is maintained the people demand
and will secure governmental interference
and regulation. (Applause).
Discussing other issues, he said:
In the coming campaign, the Republi-
can party viii maintain that the Philip
pine Islands, which have come to us as
direct result of the Spanish War and it's
settlements, which have been retained for
us through the heroism of our American
soldiers, shall not now be abandoned, nor
our sovereignty withdrawn from them. >"
Shortly after this the convention ad
journed until 10 o'clock tomorrow.
The opponents of Hanecy without ei\
cepton declared that the result of to-
days fight for the temporary organiza-
ton greatly weakens his support and
foretokens his defeat tomorrow The
Hanecy supporters are still claiming up
ward of 700 votes for Hanecy on the first
ballot.
Regarding the significance of the cleo
ton of Dawes, Governor Tanner said this
evening:
Il do not believe that the vote this
morning means instructions for Cullom,
though that may be it, 1t means that
the National Administration has sub
verified the convention to its own ends.

the invention of a shell by prominent
officer of the United States Maya shell
superior in every essential quality to any
now in use either by this or other Gov

possessed by the shell is said to be so
great that no armor now manufactured

slider them in secret session. Tomorrow
