Montclair's postotlice, which has made
the Republican party in that hillside
town sort of hornets nest for the
past eleven months, was settled Tues
day by Congressman r. Wayne Parker's
Endorsement of William l.. Doremus
for the office. Doremus was not an
active candidate for the place, and his
selection came in the nature of a sur
prise to the rival candidates and fac
tional leaders in the town, although it
was generally conceded to be salts
factory and harmonious solution of the
whole squabble.
A queer question of law arises in an
Alabama county. Two weeks ago, runs
the story, a negro was hanged for MUIR
der in due process. The body was cut
down and pronounced dead by the ply
stefan attending, and was then turned
over to the relatives, who took it away.
They observed signs of life in t,where-
upon a physician was called in, who
applied restoratives, and the man came
back to his former existence, in which
he now abides in health and strength.
The question is whether the law can
again lay hands upon him for that
crime, since officially he has paid the
full penalty, and stands as dead in the
legal records of the case. At any rate
nothing has been done looking to his
rearreSt.
Vice-Chancellor Pitney on Tuesday
in the Fairview election case said the
legal presumption is that an Illegal
vote is cast with the majority. This
made the election a tie between John
York and Rudolph Schlatter candi-
dates for councilman. The latter had
received one majority, but John Vogels
admitted in court that he was not nat |
uraliZed, but had voted at the election. |
He did not remember for whom he
voted, but Schlatter's friends declared |
Vogels went to the polls in carriage
supplied by York's party. The courts
ruling has created much discussion.
Policemen put an end to wedding
celebration early Tuesday morning in
Newark, and arrested two participants
on complaint of Mrs. Sarah Gortsch,
who lives on the first floor of the house.
The woman says the guests were max
ing a great deal of noise, and that |
when she demonstrated she was Seri- |
ously injured. A physicians certificate
was produced in court later in the day
to show that she could not appear
against the prisoners for some time,
owing to her injuries
Representatives of ten building
trades leagues from as many New. Jer-
sey cities and towns met at Washing
ton Hall, in Elizabeth Monday after
noon, and formed state organization.
The purpose is to unity the various
labor councils in the state, so that
they may concentrate their efforts for
the betterment of each.
