a horse owned by the United States

the harness was being repaired.
When King street was reached the
wagon hit the hind legs of the horse
and in second he was OFF.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. ali
The decision of the supreme court
giving back to Alderman Thomas
Meacham his seat as a representative
Of common council in this city which
was taken away from his by the re-
punlicans several months ago on the
ground that no election was held In
that ward because of the polls being
closed in one voting district as re
suit of the dispute over the vote OF
the Rutgers college students being
accepted, places the city in the posi-
ton of having three aldermen from
the sixth ward inasmuch as William
Feller was elected for a one-year
term last election to fill the vacancy
caused by the removal of Alderman
Meacham. Feller will not take Of
fee till January first, but counting
him as an alderman the city now has
fourteen.
CITY Attorney Booraem will appeal
The decision of the courts seating
Meacham, to the court of errors. The
suit will be argued at the next term
in March. but as the court OF errors
is term behind in its work the case
is hardly likely to be reached till the
June term and will accordingly not
be decided until November. BY that
time Meacham's term will have ex-
pired if that court sustains him as
the term ends In January of 1907.
He will get his salary of 5000 year
from last January, however, II he
wins in the higher court, even
though he has not been permitted 20
have his seat. While the legal fight
is going on Feller will have Meach-
ANS seat. Feller is republicans
and Meacham a democrat. The pres
ent Board of Aldermen is republican,
eight to four and the new board.
without Meacham, will be republican
elecen to two.

TRENTON, Nov. 24:-Upon an
application made this morning IN the
supreme court for a writ of habeas
corpus may depend the liberty of
about 500 prisoners in the state
prison, including several from Mid
dleSeA county.
The application was made before
justices Fort, Reed and Bogert.
After hearing the arguments for and
against the issuance of such writ,
the court announced that a decision
would be rendered later.
The test case is tnaC of John Ma
honey, alias Jack Sheppard, of Hud-
son county. The point raised is that
no New Jersey court has the right to
impose successive sentences. Ma
honey was convicted on two charges
and was sentenced TO terms of seven
and FIVE years, one term to follow
the other. He has served his first
term and his attorneys maintain
that ii is Illegal to hold him longer
for the second.

on the railroad company's property
between the freight station and the
bridge. They have number of men
at work filling in the old gully and
when this has been completed a

face entertainment ever presented
before local footlighs. Financial

There were more men on the stage
than at any performance given in

was raised nearly a foot above
the first, and behind them sat
the orchestra of eleven pieces in
two rows. The musicians wore gray
wigs and red military coats and af-
forded a pleasing contrast TO the
black troupe in front.
The opening overture took the
house by storm. II brought in some
quartet singing and also some drill
ing by the eight end men and the in
terlocutor, twirling drum majors

The songs were AL finely rendered
and the applause was loud and con
