Within the Shadow of the
Court House.

Jacob Foster. Philip Hermann, John
Samougowski and Barney Harris, the four
alleged professional crooks from New
York who are charged with attempting
the wholesale burglary of Henry Lauter-
bach's clothing establishment, NO. 6l5
Newark avenue, early on Sunday morn
ing, October 80, are on trial in the General
Sessions Court this morning. Lawyer
Howard McSherry, who appears for the
defence, moved for separate trial for
Foster and Hermann. as there was
difference of an hour and half between
the time of their arrest and the arrest OF
the other defendants. The motion was
opposed by Assistant Prosecutor Van
Wrinkle and Judge Blair denied it. Mr..
McSherry then introduced lawyer Henry
T. Goldsmith to the Court. lie said that
MIR. Goldsmith was an Assistant District
Attorney in New York and was interested
in the defence. Lawyer Abner Kal.sh OF
Newark also represented the defendants.
The Assistant Prosecutor, in opening the
case, said it was most impudent at
tempt at burglary within stones throw
of the Court House. The burglars were
provided with covered wagon filled with
burlap bags to carry off the stuff. The
wagon was seen going along Summit ave-
nue.. 1t stopped at Pavonia avenue and
two men jumped out and disappeared.
The wagon continued on and turned down
Cottage street.
At 2:20 A. M. Mrs. Maggie King, who
lives over Lauterbach's was awakened by
hearing a piece of iron falling in the back
yard She looked out of the window and
saw two men at Lauterbach's rear win
dow She threw piece of wood at them
and they hurried away. Mrs. King then
called her husband. He dressed himself,
left the house and notified the police.
The police hustled around and in two
hours had rounded up the quartette who
are on trial. The State expects to prove
their guilt. The trial will last all day.

Wife of Former Clinton Ave-
nue. Resident Asks Her
Husbands Support.

Mrs Ellen McGuinness, formerly OF
Clinton avenue, has begun suit against
her husband, Thomas McGuinness, for
support. Some months ago similar pro-

fathers house in Newark. In her bill she
sets forth that her husband was cruel to
her and has left her children and herself
without a penny. She asserts that he
owns large amount of real estate, stocks
and bonds and spends yearly large. sum
of money on trottlng horses Wnlle sHe Is
without any means.
McGuinness lately closed up his house
on Clinton avenue and refused even, so
his wife says, to allow her to get her
clothes out of the house. She has en-
deavored to find him in Philadelphia, but
he is in hiding.
ssHe, my husband she said, while in
Philadelphia gave me one dollar per week
to feed myself and the children, and on
no occasion would he allow me even to
purchase the childrens things. I was so
desperate that l took with me ana the
children, when we left him, his gold
watch. and he actually put an advertise
ment in the papers to the effect that his
watch and children had been stolen from
him. Mind you, he put in the word

leave him he hasn't given me one cent.

and integrity. In his letter to the
chairman of the democratic county
Mr.. Kelly says:
Il have given careful study to the
Issues of the present campaign ard
have come to the conclusion, after
that study, that it is for the greatest
good of the country that the republi-
a party prevail, and that President
Mckinley be reelected. The curren-
cy question, which was made by the
democratic party a leading issue four
years, ago, appears to me to have been
settled. Under the administration of
President Mckinley the gold standard
has been established; instead of the
distress which Mr.. Bryan four years
ago predicted would prevail should the
gold standard be established, the coun-
try un~questionably has prospcred.
Il am not in sympathy with the po-
sition taken by the democratic party
on the question of expansion. | do
not believe hat the attitude of the
present administration with reference
to Il new possessions. threatens in
the slightest degree the free institu,
tons of our country, or the liberty of
any of its citizens. On the contrary.
am in hearty accord with the policy
pursued by the administration towards
our new possessions. This issue has
been declared by the democratic plat,
form, and by Mr.. Bryan, to be the
paramount issue in the campaign and
the II of greatest Importance at this
time. l must therefore frankly state
that do not agree with the democrat,
ic party or the issue declared by
them to give the leading issue of the
campaign.
80 far as the question of trusts is
concerned, | believed that both of the
leading parties are sincere in the
statement that under certain condi
ltions; combinations of capital. known
as trusts, should be subjected to leg
islative control. | believe. however
that the republican party if contin
ued in power will handle this ques
ton in Il consistent with tn,
best interests of our country.
Il was born and reared a democrat
THE democracy of the present day
however. | do not believe resembles il
any degree that of the founders of the
democratic party. The platform adopt
ed by the democracy of the present
day, at Kansas City, to my way o
thinking, contains principles differing
more from the principles of Thorn
as Jefferson, than does the platform o
the republican party, adopted at Phil
, adelphia."

STATEMENT OF THE REC

GRESHAM.
ures Enacted Into Law Through
His Influence and What May be
Expected in the Way of Legisla-
ton at the Next Session.

The History of Wyoming says that
He who does the greatest service for
the state is the most exalted citizen"
This is undoubtedl. the correct
standard whereby to measure the men
who have been nominated by the two
parties for the high position of repre-
sentative in congress. and by it the
people will be enabled to make IA wise
choice at the coming election. In cleo
ting men to congress this year there
is something more to be considered
than politics. The proof of fitness
should be considered and that can on,
ly be determined by the record of past
services performed in behalf of the
state. Congressional service not alone
should be considered, for a citizen
may serve in his own county in a com,
mendable way, in public positions in
his state. In a commonwealth IKE

Although the Yellowstone park is
almost entirely in the state of Wyo-
ming. it has been almost impossible
to get into the park on the eastern or

to the mountain barriers and the alb
scnce of roads. Mr.. Mondell succeed
ed in securing the incorporation of an

a wagon road up the north fork of the
Stinkingwater river, to the Yellow
stone river connecting with the park

Public Buildings.
Mr.. Mondell brought before the COM
mittee on public buildings and grounds
and made an earnest appeal for the
passage of a bill increasing the limit
of cost of the public building at Chey-
enne and an appropriation for a pub
lie building at Evanston; also an ap-
preparation for a public building at
Laramie. which measures had passed
the senate. The committee on public
buildings of the house gave him a re-
'spectful hearing but no bills for a pub
lie building of any character were re-
ported during the session or passed
the house; therefore the bills for pub
lie buildings in Wyoming stand in the
same position as do all the other pub
lie building bills which passed the
senate, lie, they lay for the present
buried in the files of the committee in
the house. Mr.. Mondell is confident of
being able to secure results in these
matters the next session of congress-.
Mr.. Mondell addressed the house on
numerous occasions on public ques-
tons which came before it. He made
a speech during the early days of the
discussion of the Porto Rican ques-
ton, strongly endorsing the action of
the republican majority of the house
in Porto Rican legislation. He also
made a speech during the discussion
of the financial bill clearly defining
his position and heartily supporting
the measure.
In the matter Of pensions, Mr.. Mon
dell maintained his record for earnest
and successful work for his constitu-
ents in looking after pension claims
and succeeded in obtaining numerous
allowances of original and increased
pensions. So far this term he has
succeeded in obtaining the allowance
OF nearly a score of claims of consid-
cradle amounts aggregating a large
sum in monthly payments and back
pay.

have unanimously re-nominated Judge
IIayford for the office of justice of the
peace. The old judge has a rcmarka-

ing able. by a kind of judicial instinct,
t o see to the marrow of every case
which comes before him, and being
actuatcd by that innate love of justice
and mercy which marks what we are

In connection with the achievements
of the republican candidate for con
gress it would be less thar fair not to
mention his services in discovering
and developing the great coal inter
struction of the Burlington railroad
through and across that part of Wyo-
ming; the two bright towns of Wes-
ton COMPREHENSIVE and Cambria,
and the county itself, followed
by a -four years service in the state
senate. his service in the 54th con
gress, his two years in the position of
assistant commissioner of lands in the
interior department at Washington,
during which time he never forgot his
own state Then came two more years
of congressional work-that is, in the
seth congress He was appointed and
did good work on some of the most
important committees of the house of
representatives. His patriotic speeches
in the house are pointed to with
pride by the people of Wyoming and
likewise his endeavors to promote leg
islation in behalf of his state.
School of Mines,
One of the first bills introduced by
Mr.. Mondell in the present congress
was H. r. $50, for the endowment and
support of mining schools. This bill
is similar to the bill introduced by Mr..
Mondell in the 5ith congress, and pro-
vides for the establishment of mining
schools in the various states and terri
tories. Mr.. Mondell succeeded in hay
ing this bill favorably reported by the
committee OF mines and mining early
in the session but as bills of this char
acter could only be brought up under
suspension of the rules and recogni-
ton could only be obtained from the
speaker. he was unable to call the bill
up for consideration. Later in the
session some of his friends of the min
ing schools and mining departments.
of colleges of mechanic arts took the
patter up and in order to get the
measure along as far as possible had
Senator Tillman of South Carolina in
troduce a bill similar to the one in
troduced and reported by Mr.. Mondell,
but granting smaller appropriations
lper annum to each school. Under the
senate rules it was possible to bring
this bill up and pass it. After it pass
ed the senate Mr.. Mondell brought
the matter before the committee on
mines and mining of the house of rep
resentatives and secured a favorable
report on the senate bill, with a slight
amendment. Great efforts were made
to bring the bill up but owing to the
report having been made late in the
session, it was impossible to accom-
plish this. Mr.. Mondell feels very GER
tain that early in the coming session
he will be able to pass the measure,
having thoroughly canvassed the
house and been assured of support for
