A Defence of the Ballot Law.
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
1t is but just TO the new law excluding illit-
crates from the ballot in Maryland to say that
it fluids defenders on ether than partisan
grounds The Republican Chicago Tribune
thinks that, aside from politics, it is a good
measure, aud the Washington Post an indie
pendent newspaper, without Democratic lean
ings, has commentator for it. This latter
paper, published on the border of Maryland,
and, presumably, well informed as to the
character of the politics of that State, thinks
it is needed there. 1t says that the iliiterate
vote of Maryland is a sore in the body poll
tie,' and more dangerous to the public vel
fare than that of Louisiana or Mississippi.
Its existence in politics is declared to be "a
fruitful source of corruption and, further,
we are told of it in this Journal that ''venal,
purchasable, irresponsible, it inevitably
tends TO demoralize the ballot box and 10 poi
son the springs of government. There is no
discrimination as regards color in this statute,
and the Washington Post declares it to be
San honest, sincere and-best of all-efiec
tive application of the Australian ballot as it
was originally conceived"

ASTROLOGICAL WARMING
Roosevelt and Every One

Next Month.

Gustave Meyer, the youthful astrologer
of No. 1o1 Washington street. Hoboken,
who, as told in THE News" some time
ago, predicted the assassination of Presi-
dent Mckinley, is now using his astrologi-
cal powers upon the future of Vice Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
President Roosevelt, says Professor
Meyer, should be very careful of himself
November 8 and A. An accident or sicK-
ness Is Indicated for him about that time,
and it may be avoided by proper care.
.sHe and his advisers will be called
upon to settle some important question
the last OF October. 1t will concern a.
considerable expenditure of money and
may have to do with foreign transpor-
tation.

of this month We shall also hear of

be eonsummated during this month. The
conditions signify much discord as the re-
suit of any union during this month. es-
pecially from October Is to November 10.
ssThe laboring classes will gain much
advantage at the expense Of the capi-
talists, coming as it were. from the sue

will once again reign supreme among capi

manufacture of wearing apparel and ar
fists win be unusually successful during
this month as well.

latter part of this month, for either an
epidemic or an outbreak among the IN

of an unusual mortality from drowning.

PATTERSON, Oct. 5. 19o1.
We send you back your diamond be-
cause your wife is sick. My pal and |
have got you guessing and we mean
to keep you so. You wonder how we
got in the store, but never mind, VIC
will be back again. -
This note accompanied by diamond
ring valued at $50 stolen from his fur
nishing store two weeks ago. was re-
ceived yesterday in the mail by Charles
Nadel
In the same drawer with the diamond
ring when it was taken were two other
women's diamond rings and about $50.
The money was stolen, but the two rings
were left.
The robbery was a mystery to Mr..
Nadel and the police. as neither the
doors nor windows Of the store had been
broken. The police had come to the con-
clusion to ignore the robbery theory.
The two rings that were not taken are
the property Of Mr.. Nadel's daughter
and are worth $500. In reporting the rob
berry to the police Nadel remarked that
the thief must have been a friend when
he did not take his daughters rings.
The police Of Paterson have resumed
their search for the thieves.

FELL IN A VAT
Asphalt Worker Plunged
Into Mass Of Boiling
Pitch.
DIED ONE HOUR LATER
Matter Hardened Before It
Gould Be Scraped off
and Tanning Soon Be-
came Unconscious.

Herbert Tanning, twenty-six years old,
of No S21 East Twenty first street, New
York City, a mixer employed by the
Uvalde Asphalt Company. at it's plant at
the foot of Hudson street, lost his balance
while working over a vat of boiling pitch
last night, at $50 o'clock, and plunged
headlong into the seething mass. He was
almost completely submerged and he was
SO badly scalded that he died in the City
Hospital at o'clock this morning.
Fanning's business was to stir and mix
the boiling pitch with sand. That he
might the better do this he stood on y
platform that was somewhat higher than
the vats in which the pitch was boiled.
Just how he lost his balance no one seems
to know
Fanning uttered piercing scream that
one laborer described as blood curdling.
Half dozen Of the men were instantly
at the vat in which the unfortunate man
was being fairly boiled alive, and in
very few seconds Tanning was dragged
out AS soon as he was placed on the
platform the coating Of pitch, a quarter
of an inch thick. cooled, and before t
could be scraped off the man was incased
In a tenacious coat Of asphalt. The first
efforts of those who had rushed to his as
sistancc was to peel off the pitch from mis-
face. Though both nose and mouth were
covered and breathing must have been al
most impossible with him, when these or
gans were freed, the man was conscious.
His first and last words, for he lapsef
irto Inconsistencies upon uttering them,
were:-
Send for priest. know ! cannot
live. / am so sorry for mothers sake.
A messenger called Policeman John
Downs of the First precinct station, to
the plant, and an ambulance was sum-
moned. When 1t arrived Tanning was un-
conscious and it was at first thought dead
He was quickly conveyed to the City Hos
pital There the doctors worked over his
unconscious form, peeling from il its coat
of asphalt. After an hours heroic effort
they announced that the man could not

Campaign Considered.
RIKER KNOCKED OUT

Especial to "The Jersey City News.
NEWARK, Oct. 5. 1891. The Republican
State Committee met here this afternoon
in the new headquarters which were
opened recently with q great beating OF
tonl-toms and blowing OF brass instru-
ments. Notwithstanding the Importance
OF the meeting, being the first OF the cam
paign and for the purpose of devising
plans for the coming tight. several OF the
committeeman were absent. They were
Congressmen Charles n. Fowler of Unions
John J. Gardner OF Atlantic and Henry r.
Loudensiager of Gloucester; State sena-
tors Robert E. Hand OF Cape May and
c. Asa Francis of Monmouth; henry NJ.
Doremus Of Essex and William II. Skirm
of Mercer. Candidate Murphy was pres
ent and presided. John NJ Gibson was re-
elected secretary, and Supreme Court
Clerk Riker was retained as treasurer,
Notwithstanding the fact that he was
bounced from the committee as member
at large by Candidate Murphy at the de-
mand of Carl Lentz and young Tom Mo-
Carter put in his place.
The committees for the coming cam
paign were chosen. The finance commit-s
rtee is headed by William c. Garrison of
Essex. a personal friend of Mr. Murphy
whom the candidate wanted to put on the.
committee as member at large. But
Lentz insisted upon the naming Of Me-
Carter under threat Of taking himself and
the German vote over to the enemy, and
Mr.. Murphy weakened.
1t is not absolutely necessary that the
treasurer and members of the Finance
Committee shall be members of the COM
mittee, which accounts for the presence
of Mr. Riker and Mr.. Garrison in exc
cutive positions. The others on the FL
nance Committee are Congressman
Charles N. Fowler, Henry S. Potts Of
East Orange, State Comptroller William
S. Hancock and William Barbour, the
millionaire thread maker of Paterson All
of these gentlemen. are more than blessed
with their fair share of the worlds goods.
while Congressman Fowler and Mr.. Bar
bour are known to possess dollars which
to designate correctly would require six
ciphers.
Young McCarter was placed at the
head of the Executive Committee over
such men as Senator Edward G. Stokes,
United States Senator John Kean and
Major Edward ]. Anderson Of Somerset
William BEETLE, Colonel Samuel D. Dick
inson, sDavy" Baird of Camden, G. 2.
Breckenridge Of Bergen, Dick Reading.
late Of Raven Rock, and ex-senator
Bob Williams of Passaic, all Of whom
are among the shrewdest and best equip-
ped political workers in the State.
Mr.. Murphy win retain the nominal
chairmanship of the committee and con-
tinue to give the party his valuable ad-
vice and services. # you have any doubt
about the value of this advice and these
services ask Major Lentz or any one Of
his heelers.
The details of Mr.. Murphy's swing
around the circle. upon which he will
start soon were discussed, but not di-
ulged.
