was instructed to inform the proprle-
tors of all poker and other gambling
establishments they must close then
places by the 10th instant, and any

them, for there were private clubs
where gaming was carried on to an
extent that materially interferred
with their business. The officers in
formed them that whenever it was
found a private club allowed gambling
it would be stopped at once. There is
some talk among the sporting frater-
nifty of testing the matter IN the

NEW TRIAL
is GRAN TED.
Suit for Wages Against John H.
Gregory TO be Heard
Again.

In the district court this morning
Judge Lyon announced that he would
grant a new trial in the suit for
wages tried recently and in which a
siX-man jury awarded a small sum to
Aaron Stryker the plaintiff, against
John H. Gregory. The new trial was
granted on the ground that the ver-
dict was inconsistent with any view
of the testimony produced and with
the charge to the jury. Counsel for
neither side was in court The case
was placed on the list for Thursday
next.
In the replevin suit for possession
of the skiff which John Whitworth
recovered few weeks ago and which
he claims was stolen from him set-
enteen yeors ago at Coney Island,
more testimony may be taken. There
is a probability that the trivial case
may be carried to The supreme court.
The case of the Crucible Steel
Company VS. the Greacen-Derby Com

OBJECTIONS
TO THE TITLE.
John ]. Quad Hastens to Re-
move the Inference that He
Has Been a FreehOIder.

Friends of John J. Quaid, as well
as Mr. Quaid himself, rush to inform
the NEWS that he has never been a
freeholder, as this paper mistaking-
ly stated last week. The prompt
manner in which the statement is
denied only goes further to show the
exact feeling of the democrats them
selves toward the Board of Freehold
ers. 1t seems the democrats con-
slider it pretty tough deal. as one
of them put it, to be even accused of
beinS member of that board.
The NEWS does not blame Mr..
Quaid for wanting Il correction made
and we are only too glad to make it
for we do not want to stamp any
man with the freeholder stain, if he
is not deserving of It.
This hits back pretty hard on Mr.
DUNCAN, however, who is running
the same ticket with Mr. Quaid and
who is. at the present time, mem
Der of the Board of Freeholders.
While friends of Mr. Quaid rush to
gel him clear of the freeholder rep
utation, the democrats still ask the
people to send back to the head of
county affairs a man who belongs to
the BOARD they all want to disown.
