Believe that Justice Fort Will
Not Hear the Trial in New
Brunswick.
JURORS ACE QUESTION
Lawyer Strong Not Satisfied
With the Justice S Decision
on the Point.

New Brunswick, Jan. 12:-Lawvers
Robert Adrain and Alan H. Strong,
representing Philip Reilly, James
Dunlap, William Rastall aud Thomas
Corrigan, the officers of the first poll
of the sixth ward, who are indicted
for not holding an election at that
poll met Prosecutor Berdine at the
Office of Lawyer Strong yesterday
afternoon. for the purpose of strik-
ing from Justice Forts list of nine
ty-six jurymen, forty eight men, the
state being entitled to strike off
twenty -four ana the defendants I.av-
ing the same privilege.
The list of ninety. six as it stood be.
fore the striking off commenced, re-
presented a remarkable gathering of
men, including six ministers from
this city and several from other parts
of the county.
When the lawyers met at 2:30
o clock Mr.. Adrain and Mr.. Strong
went into consultation, and Mr.
Strong announced to the reporters that
tho gathering was not O public one
and that he and Mr.. Abrams acts at
this time were not to be public acts.
The names struck will not be made
public, he announced, until they be-
come part of the court record.
A well defined report reached here
yesterday afternoon from Elizabeth to
the effect that the trials are to be re-
moved from Justice Forts jurisdic.
tion to the United StAles court. 1t
is said that Alan Ii, Strong has filed a
petition with Justice Fort asking that
the case be removed.
He raises the point of the courts
decision regarding the age of the grand
juror, he holding that the fact that
one Of his Jurors was over sixty five
years, of age, annuls tho indictments
against the election officers. Justice
Fort has decided that the indictments
are good. but Mr.. Strong wants the
United States court to pass upon tbs
matter.
If the case is carried to the United
States court, the jury which was
struck yesterday afternoon will not
be needed to try the cases.

HIS HEALTH IS MUCH IMPAIRED

James w. Alexander, until
recently president of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society, is not in
the Catskills, but is in retirement
near New York City, on Long
Island, it is said. One of his
friends says that he had been re-
moved from the OnteOra Club
some time ago. He is under the
care of two well-known physicians,
and his condition is such that there
is danger of his death. His men
tai faculties are some what clOuded
this friend said, but with rest and
quiet his family hope that he will
recover. Their sole desire in send
ing Mr.. Alexander to a retreat
was to give him absolute rest.
Since the middle of June, when
Mr.. Alexander succumbed to the
strain caused by the troubles in
the Equitable, he has been under
the care of physicians, and he
knows nothing about the more
recent developments in the affairs
of the Equitable Society.

VAST WEALTH OF THE SOUTH

So far as the mere question OF
prosperity is concerned,
saws the New Orleans States, the
South enjoys an astonishingly
larger measure of it to-day than it
did forty-fv years ago,in spite of
our habit to refer to and rejoice in
the memories of "the good times
before the war;
Not only is the South's pros
perity much greater now, but it is
more general than in 1860. The
Macon Telegraph remarks that in
those days the heads of slave own.
ing families in the Southern States
numbered about 400, 200, but com
paratively few of them would now
be called rich, the "majority lived
the simple lives of country gentle
men and farmers, using up nearly
all their capital in feeding ano
clothing their slaves and provi
ding additional advantages fo1
their families
The wealthy Southern planter
| lived like a prince, and not car
ing for money for its own sake
did not accumulate it, bu
spent it freely in keeping an opel
and hospitable house for the enter
tainment of congenial company.
Forty five years ago the country
millionaires numbered dozen
but to-day there are many thous
ands of them.
The real rehabilitation and pro
gress of the South began abOu
twenty five years ago when he
people had managed to get agai
on their feet and since then it ha
been remarkable rapid, so rapi
indeed as to command the admire
ton of the world. At the presen
! time the valuation of property i
the South nearly equals the valua
ton of all the property in tn
United States in 1860.
The South has had her days G
agony, poverty and despair, bu
she is forging ahead now to
great and glorious destiny.
