MuRPHy'S WEDDING FEE
Police Justice Gets Something More
Than the Brides Kiss.

a fashionably dressed party Of ladies
and gentlemen appeared in the office of
Mayor Hoos in the City Hall today and
asked il the Chief Magistrate was to b.
seen. When told that he was not, they
asked for some person authorized to per
form civil marriage ceremony. Justice
of the Peace James K. Murphy, who was
himselfsso recently made a benedict, hap
pened along and he was pressed into SER
vice. Everything prepared for the tying
of the knot two of the party stepped for
ward and were quickly made one to tn :
evident pleasure of their feliows
The groom gave his name as George
Warren Deyo, of Rochester, N. T., and
said it was his second marriage. He gave
his occupation as theatrical manager. TIE
bride was Matte Alice Snyder of Long
Franch, N ]. She did not tell her bust
ness, but it is believed she is an actress.
She said it was also her second marriage
Though she did not say so it is believed
that the bride gave her maiden name as
one Of the witnesses was Mrs. George T.
Snyder, a sister of the bride. The other
two witnesses were Harry A. Smith and
Henry NJ Paddock, who did not give their
names or addresses.
Justice Murphy was doubly paid. He
received at first a hearty kiss from the
bride and later pocketed a fat fee. He left
no doubt in the minds of the Mayors s
clerks as to which he valued the most as
he jauntily humrned as he departed, -

did not close It's eyes much during the
night When the sun came up there was
still noise and hubbub enough about the
Trenton House to make old Sol wonder
ff he had not oversight himself. It y
many a year since there was such e
convention eve crowd III Trenton as
poured into the Capital last night Beds
cots. improvised couch apd anything q
man could stretch himself out on at
least half length were at premium.
5 The Smith headquarters were open early
and the way the EX-SENATOR Frank Me-
Dermott, Larry Fell and the other ANTI
Seymour shouters worked and iabored
with the rural delegates did not look as
though they had Seymour beaten SO bad
ly as they pretended. It was noticed that
considerable fuss was made over Judge
Child in the Smith room. He was estab-
lished there early and kept in plain sight
of every one and every rural delegate,
after shaking hands with the ex-senator,
was taken over and introduced to the
Judge.
Mayor Seymour arrived early this morn
ing. quietly and unostentauous and
hurried to Mr. E. r. G. Young's room.
where he held a reception which, judging
by Lie 1OiiS tinS VI dSAc6rlco WAtAttt t'eAs'>e
before him all the morning, plainly DEM
onstrated that he had plenty Of warm
supporters.
About eleven o'clock the James NJ. Sey-
mour Association Of Essex, q large and
fine body Of men, headed by Nicholas's
band, marched BY the Trenton House.
The association carried large banners
bearing the inscription - Our choice for
Governor, James M Seymour; tried, and
found honest, fearless, faithful and capa-
ble.'' The men marched and counter
marched up and down Warren street and
created much enthusiasm as they passed.
They were followed by the Hudson dele
CATION led by Robert Davis They added
much to the enthusiasm and nothing but
cheers for Mayor Seymour could be
heard. AS they passed someone suggest
ed, "Three cheers for James Smith, s but
there was no response
The next delegation which passed made
up for this. 1t was the Essex County
Democratic Committee led by James Nu-
gent, chairman Of the committee, and
headed by voss's, the brack band. They
were reviewed by Mr.. Smith from the
front window of room No. 100. There
were lots of cheers this time for Jim
Smith, . but they died away as soon as the
leather-lunged Essex men had passed.
Passaic came next, headed by good
band, making the welkin ring for Chris
topher Braun, as Tom Flynn expressed It.

SAY GOOD BYE TO MAMMA
Smith Ferguson Sends a. Mes
sage to His Wife and SwaI-
lows Laudanum From
Which He May Die.

Smith Ferguson fifty-five years old.
well known in the South Bergen section,
is lying at his home, No. IS Kearny ave-
nue., struggling between life and death as
the result of an attempt he made on Sun-
day to end his life by taking laudanum.
He swallowed the poison in the presence
of his children while in a fit of despon-
dency caused, it is said, by family trou-
bles
Ferguson has lived in the Bergen section
for the past fifteen years. He is Re7
publican and invariably served as mem
ber of the registry and election boards
at the polling place on Ege avenue He
has three sons. Sparrow" or Charles,
Smith, George, and one married daugh-
ter Ferguson claims that his boys went
back on him SO that he did not care to
live any longer He has showed signs of
despondency for several weeks.
On Sunday morning he met his little boy
on the street and told him to run home
and say goodbye to mamma" The child
carried the message home, but as Mrs
Ferguson had no suspicious that her hus-
band intended to take his life, she paid
no attention to the child's remarks. Fer
guson evidently went direct to Lyons &
ziegler's drug store at the corner OF
Jackson and Virginia avenues where he
purchased an ounce of laudanum. He
told the clerk that he wanted the laud-
anum for a pain He returned home
shortly before noon, and while sitting in
the presence of his wife and family put
the bottle to his mouth and drank the
contents Al few minutes later he fell to
the floor. DR.. John Chard, who was
hastily summoned. gave instructions that
the patient should be kept awake by all
means. For ten successive hours Fergu-
sons sons. assisted by Frank Skunk and
Dave Bovine, worked over him. Ferguson
weighs about two hundred pounds and 1t
was no easy task to keep him in notion
He was punched and pounded until he
was covered with bruises.
Upon regaining consciousness Ferguson
is alleged to have said:--sT viii do 1t
again If you don't let me die.'
1t was not until last night that he was
pronounced out of immediate danger. DR..
Chard said this morning that symptoms
of pneumonia had followed the effects of
the poison and that Ferguson was still in
danger of a relapse.
1t is said that Ferguson made an at
tempt upon his life some years ago.

Dismissed Domestic Said to Be Re-
vengeful.

A rather singular case was brought to
the attention of Recorder Stanton in the
Hoboken police court this morning. Nellie
Toomey, a domestic, accused Harvey
Duhrkoop, a fifteen-year-old boy, OF Ma
lone street, West Hoboken, of having
snatched her poclSetbook from her hand
While she was on the street. Duhrkoop
belongs to a respectable and wel-to-do
family and his parents considered the
womarl's accusations ridiculous. It turned
out that the woman had formerly been
employed by the Duhrkoops and had been
discharged
Mr.. Duhrkoop, father of the boy, testi-
fled that she had loitered about his nome
for some time after she was discharged
He said he believed that the woman was
suffering from some affliction. Recorder
stanton committed the woman to the
county jail for thirty days. Meanwhile
her case will be investigated.
