Gerry firm.
1t was recognized by one Of the oldel
residents as the remains of "Bouncer,"
a cat that disappeared suddenly about
twenty years ago. "Bouncer" was a
famous fighter Of dogs, as well as rats,
and had whipped nearly every canine
In town, until one day he ran across
"Gyp Sleggers," dog with record for
cats, known by almost everybody.
"Gyp" and "Bouncer" had it hot and
heavy for a time, but the dog was
too much for the cat, and the latter
was chased up a dark stairway lead
ing from Abel Bakers old store, and
In some manner fell between the walls
and was unable to get itself out. For
a time it was believed that the build
ing was haunted, but the cries came
from poor "Bouncer. er."-Newark Adver,

MORSE TO STAY
In PRISON CELL
COURT REFUSES TO RELEASE
HIM ON BALM TILL DE.
cEMBER 3.


NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Baii was de-
MED Charles w Morse, the financler,
who has been sentenced to is years
imprisonment at hard labor. at the
closing of the United States circuit
court of appeals, and it now seems GER
tain that the former mu1ti-millionaire
must remain in the Tombs prison n
least until December next, When az
gument on the writ of error that has
been granted him may come up.
Judges Lacombe, Ward and Coke o:
the United States Court of Appeals
rendered the decision late ycyteMay.
One loophole is left open to Morse's
counsel in the decision, and that is
that the judges decided that. while bail
was denied It was done so without
prejudice to renewal of the applica.
ton after bill of particulars is file.l'
The judges stated briefly thai as
the trial judge in the proceedings
against Morse had refused to admit
him to bail, the reviewing judges were
not prepared on the papers submitted
to them to make disposition OF the
motion.
Morse had been hopeful of gaining
his release from the Tombs today,
and the denial Of bail came as lard
blow. His wife and son, Harry, had
been with him in the jail during the
afternoon, and they encouraged him in
the belief that he would be free by
nightfall. Mrs. Morse and her son
left the prison before the decision had
been rendered, and the news was con-
veyed to the prisoner by an assistant
in his counsels Office.
While Morse tried to hide his dis.
appointment, he felt too cast down to
do so. He walked to the rear Of his
cell and sat on the edge of his hard,
narrow berth, and refused to make
any comment
There is one feature of the case
that is particularly disagreeable to
Morse. That is that no matter now
long he is compelled to remain pris-
oner in the Tombs, the time will not
count as part of the .15 years he must
serve in the federal prison at Atlanta.
Ca, in case he loses his fight for a
new trial.
Judge Hough gave as his reason for.
