ATTACK ON AARON BALDWIN
Lawyer Provost Says the

There We're two sencations this morn
ing in the Orphans Court when the fight
over the win of Mrs. Edla Mcpherson,
Wiie OF the late United Statest Senator
Jonn MCPHERSON Of this State, came up
again before Judge John A. Blair. The
Hrst was a statement by counsel that the
estate was only worth 100000 and not
saooo5oVo, as it had been popularly repre-
sented, and the second was a bitter at
tack on the executor Aaron S. Bald

STRICT WATCH ON PRISON
Stone and Hilton Taken to
Trenton and Other Would
Be Jail Breakers
Confined.

John Seton and John Hilton, the Harri-
son burglars who planned the sensational
attempt at Jail breaking told of in last
nights News were this morning taken
to Trenton to commence the service of
the seven years terms to which they were
sentenced by Judge Blair yesterday after
noon. On account of the desperate char
acter of the two men as revealed through
their frustrated attempt to escape it was
deemed inexpedient to keep them here
any longer than was absolutely necessary
as it was not known but some plot other
than the one that came to light might
be on foot
They were notified at 7:30 o'clock this
morning to prepare to go to Trenton,
and half an hour later with two prisoners
they were on their way to the State
Capitol in custody of Sheriff Ruempler
and Deputy Frank Hague. Both were
surprised that they were to be taken
away so soon. Neithed would talk about
his contemplated attempt to escape.
1t was realized that they were desper-
ate men to cope with, and from the time
sentence was imposed no one was allowed
to see them and every precaution was
taken at the jail against possible sur
prise.
Although in imposing sentence Judge
Blair made no reference to the contem
plated attempt at jail breaking, it is be-
lieved that it was responsible for about
one-half the term imposed. No arrests of
the alleged confederates who were to as
sst in the escape from the outside have
been made, because there was nothing
on which to hold them except the un-
corroborated confession of Tellerwyne
one Of the conspirators.
Tellerwyne exposed the plan, believing
that one of the others had ''peached. >"
snd not knowing that the only informa-
ton possessed by Sheriff Ruempier and
Wardep Sullivan was that contained IN
his letter to his wife after when ne re-
turned to the ward after having been
closely questioned in the jail office by the
Sheriff and Warden he told Hilton and
Seton that the Jig was up" as the plot
had been discovered.
A close watch will be kept on Ben
Hill, Frank Fisher and Joseph Teller
wyne until their cases are disposed of.

WHAT FAGAN SAID.
What He Says He Said and
What the Advertiser"
Says He Said.

The Newark "Daily Advertiser in an
article, in its issue of yesterday, on the
Democratic Gubernatorial candidates, had
this to say in this section devoted to Hud-
son county,
Mayor Lawrence Pagan, of Hobo
ken: 1.-THE candidate to be nominated
by the Democratic party should be
free and independent and one who
cannot be controlled by the gang of
political pirates who have been in
control of the State Legislature for
years The. people of Essex and Hud-
son hold the balance of power, and
can elect an independent man who will
not allow himself to be used as tool
by the corporations. / do not know
anything about Mayor Seymour's
candidacy, and have not given it any
thought. All l know is that he is being
supported by Bob Davis and his
gang, and that is enough to kill the
chances of any Gubernatorial candi-
date. I have nothing against Mayor
Seymour personally, but if he is to be
supported by this gang he will have a
hard road to travel
Mayor Fagan was seen today by a
News" reporter and asked if he was
correctly reported by the Advertiser .
He said
Il have never, in an interview about
Seymour mentioned the name of Mr..
Davis or of Mr.. Young. / said that /
believed the man to be nominated by the
Democratic party for Governor should be
absolutely free and independent of the
political pirates now running the State.

DECKER'S LITTLE PROMISE.
What Will Become of Separate
Primaries and All the Rest?

A quick dissolution of the new social
club, formed with what members of the
old Decker Association there are left, is
looked for at almost any time Decker,
having gone over to the machine after a
clear triumph in that ward, puts his fol-
lowers in a queer position. While there
is talk of forming an independent club
for political purposes, it is more than
likely that the machine will be left with
a free field in the future. Now that the
opposing faction has been won over with
promises of patronage, the Ward Asso-
citation, OF. which Decker is chairman, will
meet in the Eighth ward quarters. OF
course Decker will see that the machine
will get all that is coming to it.
Some good Republicans who were
worked hard to place Decker in con-
troll of the ward for the purpose of secur-
ing clean politics, are simply wondering.
The question arises prominently: Are
the people to have separate primaries, the
plea on which the Deckers won their
fight and captured the board?s Decker
promised these things, but it must be adj
mitted that it looks very dark now that
Decker has given in.

MAJ. BURNHAM's SUGGESTION
The Famous Scout for England in
the Roer War Talks Of Ideas
Gained In South
Africa.

London Correspondence of the New York
Press.
IF American sehooIboys were trained
to handle rifle properly, the country
would soon have little use for a stand
ing army, the taxpayers would save
money and the land would be safe from
the invasion of all the troops of Europe
put together
1t was rather long sentence for man
of action not much given to words, but
the speaker felt the subject deeply, for
he is one of the best and quickest shots
living, viz. Maj F. R. Durham, the
famous American scout. who, after
fdgeting around London while he was
recovering from severe wounds, received
in the TransvaaI, set off a few days ago
for Ashanti
The subject is worth looking into just
now, for England has suddenly begun to
supply a significant object lesson, and II
the present interest keeps on growing, it
viii not be long before the average young
EngIshman is good shot. If the Anaeri-
can cousin wants to keep up with him
he will have to begin quickly.
Before taking look around to see what
important steps England is taking in this
direction, let us hear the rest of what

in which to do it within a few minutes
walk or ride But in some places clubs
have built ranges for themselves, in
others the nearest volunteer force puts
its range at the rif1emen's disposal; but
even these are usually indoors, or what
we call miniature ranges and for the
making of a really good riheman you
want outdoor practice, where light and
" ind and distance have to be reckoned
with
1--WE shall soon have some of these
outdoor or full ranges" the colonel
went on, "for wealthy land owners are

and Offering to open ranges on their
properties Among these are Wis
count Mahon, Mr. Thorneycroft, a cous-
in of the officer who has been prominent
in the South African campaign, and

matter and has called twice at this Of
fee to talk it over. He Is. 1 think, a

TEACHING BRITISH SCHOOL BOYS
TO SHOOT
In answer to a question, Col. Cross
said that two SCHOOLS for boys. CIayes-
more school in Enfield and St. Dun
STAINS college at Catford. at both of
which rifle shooting is now a part of the
curriculum, had become identified with
the National Rifle association. Speaking
as a British officer of experience. he ex-
pressed the opinion that rife practice
for school boys would be about the best
thing that could happen for Great Brit
aims future as a military nation, and
said that he hoped and trusted it would
soon become fact.
At Col Cross suggestion the writer
paid d visit to Clayesnore school. AIT
this Institution they have taken UP rifle
shooting IN way that 10 school any
where should be ashamed to copy. To
be sure, Clayesmore school has had spe-
cial advantages, for it is a private insti-
tuition, and is situated in the open coun-
try, with especially extensive grounds,
but there is no reason Why almost any
school could not adopt at least a few of
the many ideas that have been carried
out there
This school has for It's pupils, for the
