FOR FRAUD AT THE PRIMARIES.
INDICTMENT OF DEMOCRATS EXPECTED BY THE
ESSEX GRAND JURY.

INDICTMENT OF DEMOCRATS EXPECTED BY THE
ESSEX GRAND JURY.
1t is understood that the Essex grand Jury. which
under a strong charge by Judge Skinner. has been
investigating the frauds and outrages at the DEM
ocratic State primaries last october. is divided
whether to indct certain prominent Democrats or
to bring in a presentment. without indictment.
The Jury has examined many witnesses and read a
large number of afiidavits.
When Judge Skinner made his charge TO the
present grand jury there was much qualification In
the Newark community. and thousands of Demo-
Gratis have shared the hope that the perpetrators OF
the frauds would be severely dealt with There Is
an indispostion to believe. in view of the enormity
of the acts committed and OF their open and defiant
character that the grand jury will fail to indict
the principal offenders. In similar case, that of
ballot box suffers In Jersey City In 1882 Judge
Lppincott would accept no presentment, but held
the grand jury sternly to its duty until indictments
were found The present grand jury in Essex is

SELLS LOFTY AMBITIONS.
Mr.. Gray Says That Is What Caused
Circus Trouble.

The New Orleans Picayune contains
the following additional information
about Willie Sells trobule:
MrGray said last night that the priri-
cipal reason of bis disagreement with
Mr. Sells was due to the latter's lofty
ambitions to considerably enlarge their
present show interests. Mr.. Gray want
ed to run a small circus. but his part
ner would not listen to that argument.
He wanted a big show and that was all
there was TO it.
Mr. Gray surrendered to the Algiers
police authorities yesterday forenoon.
He was paroled to appear for trial be-
fore Judge BarraS, of the AlgierS recor-
der's court. Mr. Gray is charged in an
affidavit preferred by Special Agent
the Prevention OF Cruelty to Animals.
The complaint is that the accused neg
lected to take proper care of the ami
mails that form the menagerie of the
Sells-Gray circus.
A similar complaint was made against
William Sells and q warrant issued for
his arrest, but he had not been arrested
up to a late hour last night. although
he spent several hours in AlE1erS yes
terday forenoon.
Mr., Gray filed a motion to the Don
aldson photographic suit yesterday ask
ing that the "a horses, which are now in
the hands of the civil sheriff. be sold
some day next week. The parties to the
suit agreed, and the animals will be Of
fered for sale by Auctioneer Curtis on

the menagerie animals are confined,
wardrobe, cars, ETC.. but none of the
wild animals. The sale is advertised
for January z.
Since Agent McQuad's Intervention

regularly and given ample food.

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

Mabel Strickland who appeared at
the Crawford last night in For Loves
Sake" has a future before her but It
will always be just before her until she
escapes from under the burden of such
a horrible affair as she is playing in.
Mabel and Ethel Strickland are both
superior to the ordinary run of actress
es, especially Mabel Strickland. She is
unusually capable but she is wasting
such a. nightmare as II. Grafton Don
nelly produced when he scrubbed For
Loves Sake" The action of the play
is supposed to take place along the
Rhine. in Berlin, New York and other
German points. The changes from one
continent to another are accomplished
by the Marconi system, so it seems.
The characters nearly all possess
badly wrecked manner of talking. The
German soldiers speak English while
several OF the principal characters speak
English with a bad splatter of German
or French. Just why the lingo should

ken English-German "Ach du lieber
Gott'' business is a capable manner al
though the lines she has to speak
should be carefully gone over by some
one with more sense of the appropriate
than has Mr.. Donnelly. Miss Strickland
is a competent actress and would do
we'll in a proper play. 1t is scarcely nee
essary to say that the Strickland girls
are from Kansas. Their home is in
Seneca.

broken, the main rail on the starboard
