stone quarry, stockton. Gardner was
Il widower, his wife having died ahout
six years ago.
The unfortu late man had been on a
debaneh since election day and his
terrible act WAS due to depressed spir-
its. A few days ago his sisters, Mrs.
White. of Doylestown, and Mrs Mary

He wrote to them to pay the servant

some spectacle. He had taken 10
bore shot gun and attached string
to the trigger Evidently he placed
the muzzle of the gun back of his ear
aud then by pressure Of his foot on
the string pulled the trigger
The entire top of his head was
blown off and the ceiling, walls, floor
and furniture were bespattered with
the blood, brains and bits of scalp
and scnll of the unfortunate.

Voting Machines and the Use of Money


The use of the voting machine in
this state and particularly in this city
has evidently given the greatest sat
lsfaetion. The only difficulty that we
have heard of is with one of the ma
chimes at Flemington, aud there the
difficulty simply was that the custod-
ian of the machine had carelessIy mis-
placed ping that prevented its use
for short time. 1t was easily fixed
however, and worked to complete sat
isfaetion.
And as to the use of money. 1t
looks as if the machines were going
to hep to do away with that feature
because it is evidently impossible to
keep tally as to whether voter after
being purchased delivers his ballot
according to contract. We think that
our Democratic friends in this city
Will agree with us that very largely
IN the recent election the voters did
not deliver the goods.
And the objection that it prevents
cutting of the ticket is also very large
ly without force, because it is un-
doubtedly true that while the returns
from this city looked as though there
had been very little cutting of the
ticket, yet ii is known that there was
considerable cutting in behalf of GER
tain candidates, and the fact that in
spite of this all of the candidates ON
the Republican ticket received SO
nearly the same vote, II must he true
that there WIS cutting in favor of the
others
