So the Brilliant Young Law

SALARY TOO PLEASANT
So the Efficient Postmaster

Ex-Assistant Prosecutor Marshall A.
Van Wrinkle, who was defeated as can
didate for Congress by Allan l.. NC
Dermott, and who it was understood
was slated for the Republican nominal
ton in the new Ninth District this fall,
announced positively this morning that
under no circumstances would he be
candidate.
This leaves the field to Colonel Charles
w. Fuller, of Bayonne, and ex-Assem-
blyman II. H. Holmes, of the Ninth
Ward, Jersey City, both of whom an
nounced their candidacy on the recent
Dickinson outing.
The Ninth Congressional District, on
the basis ON which the apportionment
was made, has a, Republican plurality OF
207.
Ex-Assenblyman Allan L. Benny, of
Bayonne, will in all probability be the
Democratic nominee and the indications
ponit to a hustling canvass that will
surely overcome the small Republican
managers. Whether knowledge OF this
fact induced Mr.. Van Winkle to decline
the nomination that was his for the ask
ing could not be learned; but it is un-
destood that he has prepared lengthy
letter for the Republican organ announc-
ing his refusal to be candidate.
To a News" reporter at the Court
House this morning Mr.. Van Wrinkle
said
81 cannot accept the nomination, how
ever kindly offered, because of my bust
ness interests The continued mention OF
my name for the high honor is due to
my many warm friends and that they
deem me worthy of the nomination is
something for which T am deeply thank
full. 1 have at no time said that
would like the nomination nor have en-
couraged the mention of my name.
think it. is due to my friends and the
Republican party that make known my
position in the premises today lest my
silence may be misconstrued as indicating

AMAZING
CONFESSION
Erie Railway Detectives
Story Of Conspiracy to
Convict Innocent
Men.
/!
BRASS JOURNAL THEFTS
Damages Awarded to Two
Young Men Whom He I'm
justly Arrested
BRASS JOURNAL THEFTS

Lawyer John J. Fallon, of Hoboken,
yesterday won an interesting case before
Justice Dixon in Hackensack.
Patrick Tucker and Jacob Cell, two
hoken young men, whom Lawyer Fal-
lon represented were awarded judgments
of $500 each against the Erie Railroad
Company and others for false> imprison-
ment and malicious prosecution. The
railroad compang was represented by
Lawyer William H. Corbin, of this city.
Tucker and Cell were arrested at Gar
field N. j., on November s last, by Detec-
tives Dwyer and Flynn, of the railroad
company, charged with stealing brass
journals from Erie cars. Being unable
to procure bail they were kept in Jail
until December 80, when both were ac-
Quilted of the charge. They then en-
gagged Lawyer Fallon to institute suit
for damages for false Imprisonment.
Meanwhile Detective Dwyer was dis
charged from the employ of the railroad
company. When the case came up yes
terday Dwyer announced that he was go
ing to make a confession. He then
swore that he and Flynn stole the jour
nails themselves in an effort to get case
against Tucker and Cell. The court at
first could scarcely believe Dwyer's story,
but when he told how they had concocted
the scheme and how they raised the car
by the aid of railroad tie in order to
get the journals. his statement was az
cepted by the jury.
LAWYER Corbin accused Dwyer of be-
ing a deliberate perjurer. but the latter
swore he was telling the truth He
added that he threatened to tell the truth
before, but was prevented by certain per-
sons who well knew the true story.

HONOR M'KINL.EY
Memorial Services Are Held
in Public School No. o.
The Fire Alarm
Discipline.

Memorial services appropriate to the
death of President Mckinley one year
ago next Sunday, took place in Public
School No. 8, in Brunswick street, this
morning. The programme was pre-
pared by Principal Brensinger, the in
tensely patriotic lieutenant colonel of the
Fourth Regiment.
President of the Board of Education
John Ward, Director John A. Tracy,
who has just resigned and Robert
Thomson, the recently appointed direc-
tor, and Superintendent Henry Snyder
We're present.
A thousand pupils assembled in the
auditorium. The buglers, Herke, Horn
idge and Staehli, blew reveille, the chill
dren stood and sang "The Star Spangled
Banner Miss Julia Harvey, the musical
directress, played the Presidents favorite
hymn. and the children sang the first
stanza of ''Near My God to Thee" dur
ing which the flag was lowered to half
staff and the buglers blew "taps."
Superintendent Snyder read the four
teenth chapter of Job, the school chanteu
Cast Thy Burden on the Lord"
President Ward, ex-Director Tracy,
Director Thomson and Superintendent
Snyder made brief addresses compliment
ing the order and discipline of the school.
They then went on a tour of inspection
through all the classes of primary, gram
mar and kindergarten.
Principal Brensinger gave the order to
the buglers to sound the fire alarm, as
the electric fire bells do not work. Al
though all the pupils are in different po-
sitions and many of the teachers also,
and there are about $50 recruits, every
thing was done so quickly and in perfect
order that the principal was compliment
ed by all the visitors.
The flag was allowed to remain at half
staff until twelve o'clock, when it was
raised to full staff with appropriate
ceremonies.

NOT FOR WANSER
Postmaster Does Not Intend
to Be Used by the Re-
publican Leaders.

The Republican leaders who are trying
to prevail upon General Peter L. Wan
ser to resign the postmastership OF this
city and accept a nomination for Sheriff
had better devote their time and talents
in another direction, for it is evident that
the General won't have anything to do
with the bait. A reporter for "The
News" this morning showed General
Wanser the statement published in "The
News yesterday that efforts were being
made to induce the General to give up
his position at the head of the Post
office and become their candidate for
Sheriff.
AS the General read the article through
slowly the suspicion of a smile, as much
as to say, "Oh, no, you don't" spread
over his features. When he had finished
he remarked, 81 don't know anything
about that" and that was all he would
say on the subject.

two men had gotten on board, proceeded
towards Pacific avenue. When the car
had almost reached Grand street and
Pacific avenue anu mber of people want
ed to get on board and while they were
doing so Post entered the car and asked

and this morning in the First Criminal
Court Smith was discharged but Couder
was held for the Grand Jury.

OBTUSE SERGEANT.
He Arouses Mrs. Lumax's Ire
by Asking One With Her
Brogue Where She Was
Born.

Margaret Lumax, little old gray hair
ed woman in faded black dress and
shawl and black crepe hat, was picked
up this morning wandering aimlessly
about the vicinity of Waldo avenue. She
apparently has no home, though she says
she has son and daughter-in-law With
whom she Sometimes locates" She is
fifty. Eve years old, but yet spry, apd
tIiotgh asssireslly demented, is expection-
ally bright at repartee. For some time
she has been accustomed to going to the
Pennsylvania round houses early in the
morning to wash her face and hands.
While she was being booked by Police
Sergeant Reardon at the Oakland ave-
nue. station the sergeant asked her where
she was born.
''Now, sergeant, how could the intili-
gint loikes of ~yez be afther AKIN sech
foolish QUESTION. Shure and haven't
TIL brogue, and amt I got the blarney
on tn tip end of me tongue? Ireland, of
scoorse.''
"You want to go up and see the
Judge" said the sergeant.
Sure an should be only too glad to
meet his imminence," and Margaret went
upstairs to court escorted by policeman.
She was very indignant when she found
herself being ushered into the pen.
The Justice asked her few questions
and then held her for further examina-
tion.
She protested and as she was being led
below gave the officer in charge good
piece of her mind and insisted that he
should keep his hands off of her, as she
was "a dignifed lady" and knew how to
"obey tn orders of tn coort.''

INSPECTING INSURANCE RISKS
Rates May He Increased in some
Cases and Reduced In
Others. cls|

The Nebraska Insurance Rating bureau is
making an attempt to re-rate every risk in
the state Of Nebraska. At this time there
are inspectors OF risks working in Free
mont, Beatrice and South Omaha. and they
have already reported on the risks held in
many Of the other cities Of the state. II Is
claimed on the part of the companies that
this inspection will not necessarily result
in an increase Of rates generally, but II
may reduce the rates on some risks, while
increasing them on others. The insurance
men say that the risks must be inspected
frequently. as their character is changed b.
the erection or tearing way of other build
ings.
The state inspector says that Nebraska
has been a good field for the companies this
year, as, while there have been q number
