DONEGAN TO
DIE NEXT WEEK.

: Trenton, Aug. 31.-William Done
gan, a member of the Philadelphia
police department.. was in this city to
day to see Governor Fort in an effort
to save the life of his brother, Richard
Donegan, who is sentenced to die in
the State electric chair next week. In
the absence of the Governor Acting
Governor Frelinghuysen declared that
he would not act in the matter and
advised the Philadelphian to Interview
the Executive upon his return to
Spring Lake next Saturday. .
Donegan told the acting Governor
that DR., Cotton, head of the New
Jersey State Hospital for the Insane,
said the condemned man was sane,
while DR.. Hicks, of Newark, had de-
clared him insane. The Philadelphian
asserted that the Judgment of DR..
Cotton should not be given preference
because he testified at the trial.
Donegan seems to care little for the
awful fate that so soon awaits him.
He tells his keepers that if he is to die
it might just as we'll be over now as
any time. He constantly pleads for
morphine and the physicians permit
him the use of limited quantity Of
dope. Under its influence Donegan is
entirely quiet, satisfied and does not
make the slightest objection to any
thing. He has been addicted to the
use of the stuff for many years.

The Vineland tax rate is likewise
decreased, it being fixed at $219 as
against 81. 27 year ago.
In most of the townships the tax rate
is slightly increased. This has been
made necessary in practically every
case by reason of increased appropria-
tions for local purposes.
The township tax rate is as follows :
Commercial, $l.94 as against 81. SO
last year; decrease of points.
Deerfield, 81 SO as against S1.44 last
year; an increase of Is points.
Stow Creek, $1.32 as against 81. 40
last year a decrease Of 8 points
Greenwich, ST.. 81 as against $1.47 last
year; an increase of 10 points.
Hopewell, 81. 43 as against 81. 3S last

The tax rate for Millville was not
fixed. The rate there will be consider
ably increased, but the officials over

Long. 10 years old, of Millville, was
shot and killed here early this morning
by his cousin, Aaron Frederick, of the
same age. The boys were playing
soldiers at the time of the tragedy.
Young Long and his mother had
passed week at the home of the
Fredericks. The boys slept together in
an upper bedroom. and were never
apart from the rising hour until they
tumbled into bed at nightfall.
Two guns stood in one corner of the
bedroom. One. unknown to any men,
ber of the household, was loaded with
buckshot, and each morning the
cousins before coming down to break
fast, would play soldiers or 'In

the guns as weapons and the furniture
as ambush. Until this morning the
trigger of the loaded weapon had stuck
too tightly for the boys to pull
Doctor DeGroff, Coroner, pronounced
the fatality an accident. No arrest is

An Imaginative Statesman,

Imagination Is the greatest moving force in the world. In saying this am merely repeating a remark of Dis. raeli's. and to prove the strength of his conviction I will repeat story Mir Lowell told me when he was minister to England. It Is the custom of tho Royal Academy of Painters to hold q private view of their pictures before the public exhibition. Disraeli, walk Ing arm in arm with Browning through the galleries. said, "N hat strikes me most forcibly here is the lack of imagination" and he proceeded to enlarge upon the power of ina gina. ton. declaring 1t to be the greatest force in the world. In responding to a toast at the banquet which followed the private exhibition he dwelt upon the wealth of Imagination in evidence on the walls about him and again ex- pressed his conviction that imagina- ton is the moving force in the world Browning repeated Disraeli's first re- mark to Gladstone, who sat beside him. and lie muttered. The devil"'- John Irowhridge in Atlantic.

Lord Pauncefote suffered greatly from rheumatic gout in his latter days, and he walked stitfiy and sometimes had to use two canes. He went one afternoon to make a call, and he re malned quite long time, so long that the horses got restive. and the groom walked them up and down the street. When Lord Pauncefote left the house the carriage was not i'll front, and, thinking there was some mistake in his orders he started to walk to the embassy, which was only square Or two. But ne had twinges of his old enemy, and the pavenents were icy He was large. heavily built man. and he feared u fall.

mt advised shipments too heavy to
allow of any advanc. Our market
was firm during the day, closing
shade higher. There was little SELL
ing pressure in this market, and the
local professionals were inclined to
take the buying side on account of the
prmiums for cash wheat in this and
the southwestern markets. On the
other hand the northwestern markets
were inclined to drag on account of
the record beraking receipts in that
section. Notwithstanding the dis
count at which the Canadian wheat
is selling there is very little export
