sor eighteen years of age, who has been
in the city for the past week in attend
ance upon the court as a witness, has
proved himself to be what might readily
be termed an indestructible somnabulist,
since last Friday night while every in
mate of the house was wrapped in the
arms~of Morpheus, he arose in his sleep
and walked off the second floor of a We
randa at Oak Hall, the place where he
was stopping 1t was a strange fact, too,
that the sudden shock and conclusion
never awakened the sleeper. and Tor
hours he lay reposing peacefully and I'M
disturbed in the spot where he had fallen
He awoke early in the morning, and was
surprised to find himself stretched cut
upon the ground He attempted to rise
when he discovered that his ankle was
sprained, and later that he had sustained
a slight injury in the back. Realizing
however. his affliction. he readily under
stood that he had walked off the piazza
while in a sleepy stupor. but as a matter
Of course does not recollect the event
Aside from the slight bruises ana sprainad
ankle and back. the patient Is uninjured,
and while he is yet confined to his bed
he expects to be entirely well within the

was found in an old commissary building
near Dupont on May Is, by the section
master of the South Florida division Of
the Plant System. Upon investigation 1t
was found that death resulted from sew
eral severe wounds in the head produced

white, and was a tinker by profession. His
little saws, hammers, several small paint
brushes and a small box of paint were
found scattered near him, end in a clump
OF bushes on the outside was found his
skillet, a small tool chest and more
brushes and paint. He evidently mad

the motive of the deed He had on two
pairs of trousers and in the pockets 1T

off before they could remove The other
pair, for a young Mr.. Register. vino lives
near the place, states that Sunday af-
ternoon he saw five negroes at the house,
and that they started towards Dupont af-
ter seeing him. BY night they were n
Dupont spending money freely at ne
gro restaurant, and one of the party tried
to sell a pair of shoes, supposed now to
be those of the dead man, to the railroad

DAIRYMAN WING TO LEAVE.

The Board of Directors of the State Ex-
pertinent Farm, at Griffin, have decided
to dispense with the services of Dairyman
II. j. Wing at the close of the present
year. Just why this step is taken is not
known Mr.. Wing has been with the sta
ton several years and has done excellent
work as the head OF the dairy depart
ment Director Readings explanation is
that the station has accomplished all that
could be expected OF it under Mr. Wings
supervision as dairyman. 1t has demon
strated that dairying can be profitably
and successfully conducted in this sec
ton. 1t is now desired to pay more at
tention to the scientific aspects of dairy
ing and to make experiments with differ
ent foods and their effect upon the ami
NAL and its product. For this purpose 1T
is desired to secure a scientific man who
is versed in bacteriology Mr.. Wing was
one of the organizers of the Dixie Cream
cry at Griffin. which proved a losing in
vestment. Claims have been pressing
against him since on this account and 1t
is surmised that this may have had some
thing to do with the action of the board

ORATORS SELECTED.
Board of Trade Committee
Reports on Plans for
Annual Banquet.

The approaching annual dinner of the
Board of Trade was the principal topic
discussed at last nights meeting of the
Board.
Mr.. Joseph A. Dear, chairman of the
Dinner Committee, announced that the
tickets were going off like hot cakes. He
said that General Joseph Wheeler, who
had been invited OF speak on that oc-
casion, had not yet written his accept
ance. Comptroller Bird Coler of New
York would speak and so would Congress-
men Allan L. McDermott and Bailey. The
dinner will be held in the Jersey City
Clubhouse on January 81.
Mr.. Dear made report on the alleged
encroachment by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Co., of a portion of Bay street.
The street ence ran to the river, but the
company had built ferryhouse and since
it had been abandoned that part of the
street was fenced in. So tangled were the
legal complications touching the property
that it would be necessary to secure the
services of an eminent lawyer to throw
any light upon the matter.
Mr.. Mungo Currie resurrected the new
postoffice for Jersey City and suggested
the appropriation of $10O as an emergency
fund should the Congressional Committee
desire to again visit the city.
A suggestion was made that $3.50 be ap-
propriated, but the original sum was
voted for.
Mr.. Dear had something to say about
the committee to watch the new water
supply. Nothing has been done yet. he
said. few other interesting matters
were discussed and the board adjourned.

JERSEY GETS THERE FIRST
Races With Maryland to De-
post Electoral Votes.

1t was an early morning Washington
train which was boarded yesterday morn
ing by Simon Gerson, who was appointed
to take the States Presidential vote to
the National Capitol.
Mr.. Gerson arrived in good time as will
be seen by the following dispatch from
Washington
New Jersey was the first State to de-
posit its electoral vote with the President
pro tenn. of the Senate.
This morning about II o'clock, Senator
Kean, of New Jersey, escorted Simon Ger
son, the messenger chosen by the New
Jersey electors, into Senator Fryes room
at the Capitol, and introduced him as the
bearer of New Jerseys vote.
Mr.. Gerson handed Mr.. Frye the envel-
ope containing the certificate of the New
Jersey ten votes for Mckinley and Roose-
welt.
This was the first certificate received by
messenger, but Maryland's certificate of
eight votes for Mckinley and Roosevelt
came by mail to Mr.. Frye early this
morning, and was really the grst certifi-
cate received. No other certificates were
received up to noon, when the Senate met.
