total vote was: Fort, 3542; Katzen-
bach, 1870. The Democrats predict
that this year they will turn the coun-

New Brunswick, Oct. 19:-At the

Judge Lloyd and a jury, Senator George
s.. Silzer, for the plaintiff, resumed his
eross-examination of William r. TAYLOR.
secretary of the Philadelphia & Reading
Railway Company as to the workings
of the Reading system.
Kovacz lost both arms under the
wheels of a coal car at the Port Read
ing railroad docks and sues for dam
ages. The defense claims the Port
Reading Railroad Company operated
this branch and dock and not the Phil
adelphia & Reading road and Mr.. Tay-
lor was called to testify to the fact
that the old Philadelphia 6 Reading
Company had an agreement with the
Port Reading Company to that effect.
This agreement was not admitted as
evidence and the defense then laid its
case on the sole ground that the Port
Reading Company was the operator of
the dock.
Mr.. Taylor admitted that the PhiIa-
delphia g. Reading Company paid the
employees of the Port Reading line and
made collections therefrom and Senator
Silzer held his claim that the Port
Reading line was the sole operator, was
not consistent with this testimony.
Senator Silzer is quite conversant with

is known. Her relatives assert she
was in the best of health and the
very best of spirits. They claim she
worked the day prior to her death.
They believe 1t was caused by a sud
den impulse with which she became
possessed.
About midnight yesterday morning
she walked to the kitchen of her
daughters home, locked all doors
and turned on every gas Jet in the
room, including the gas range. Yes

this matter. Only l want to give my
self the pleasure of telling you how
l really feel"
In referring to the headquarters
across the street, Mr.. Wilson meant
the branch quarters of the Republi-
can State Committee, just opposite
the Temple.
There had been no intention on
the part of the Democratic League to
hold q campaign meeting. 1t was
planned to get Mr.. Wilson to the
Capitol merely for a reception. at
which the voters could be given an
opportunity to meet him and shake
his hand. The press became so great,
however, that it was decided to rent
thS pI6 uoltO VI RldpOIIC lSll-
pie, SO that all who desired might
come, and all who desired proved to
be some 1900 or more, and many of
them were compelled tosstand. The
hall was beautifully decorated with
f1ags, bunting and plants, while a
large orchestra let loose patriotic
airs.
Mr.. Wilson was brought over from
prJnanfN4 - ~ ,tD-a~L,J1 L.. 1~-r
ty Chairman Hafford e. F. Hooper,
and was met at the hall by State
Committeeman Charles H. Gallagher,
who has been with him on much of
his state tour; Mayor Walter Mad
den, City Assessor John P. Dullard,
former Senator Jonathan Blackwell
and other prominent men of the
party.
Great Crowd Changes Program.
His appearance in the hall let loose
n of those torrents of emotion with
which he has become so familiar In
the past few weeks and which appar-
emily have inspired in him the feel
ings to which he has given such elo-
quent expression that the people at
last are aroused to the questions of
the hour for their own better well
fare.
1t had been planned merely to
have the candidate stand up at the
end of the hall, back of an enclosure
and receive the people, but the crowd
was SO large, early In the evening,
that the managers found 1t necessary
to hustle for chairs and in a few
minutes 700 eager people were seat
ed, while along the aisles and back
of the rows of chairs stood fully 500
others, all deeply interested in the
proceedings. 1t then was found
necessary to break away from the
program Of informality and permit
Mr.. Wilson to make a ten-minute ad-
dress, because the Mercer county
voters had urged that he make here
some explicit statement on the labor
question.
Mr.. Hoff called the meeting to
order and presented Francis B. Lee,
the historian, author and bon vivant,
as chairman and Mr.. Lee, with re-
freshing forethought, used but forty
nine words in introducing Mr.. Will
son, who was given a round of cheers
and prolonged hand-clapping. Mr..
Wilson was in great good humor as
he stepped out and looked over the
eager crowd and made his little
speech.

CAMP NEAR
RICHMOND, s. |. VIEWED

Fol twelve successive summers an
Armenian family named Balvian,
claiming to live In Manhattan, has
encamped In the old apple orchard
at the foot of McGuire's HiI1,@near
Richmond.
This property Is owned by the es-
tate of the late Colonel Charles II.
Blair. 1t has been lying idle for
many years, and was once one of the
most beautiful residential sections
of Staten Island. One by one the
buildings on the premises have been
destroyed by fire, the very last to go
being the old fax mill which stood
on the hillside overlooking the mead
ows and the pretty view toward
Green Ridge.
The Armenians have tents and
sheds on the premises, and during
the summer scores of their friends
from the city come down here to en-
Joy their outings. The family ar
ing a piece of land planted a garden
which has borne an abundance Of
vegetables. The family expects to
remain until Jack Frost asserts his
rights, when they will fold their
tSHt llhe IHS ATdD anu silently StSdi
away"
These dark-eyed, dark-skinned
Armenians are quite we'll educated,
they probably having taken advant-
age of the public schools of Manhat-
tan. Some of the young maidens are
fost beautiful, and the living pic
lures they form in their rustic cos
tunes are worthy the attention of
lrtist critics.
1t is to the credit of those camp
brs hat they have not mutilated the
Grave stones this eason in the old
homestead grave yard on McGuire's
Hill. 1t Is an exception to the rule.
The leading citizens Of our Island
at one time, are buried up there
the Bedells, the Coles, the Deckers,
the Winants and the Dotys. All
these families have relatives living
on the Island. 1t is a shame that
the raves should be forgotten and
mutilated. Several people resting
there took part in the Revolution
and fought for independence.

An Anecdots of P~sIlesrin, an Eight

The impecunious French poets Of the

told in IAN Eighteenth Century Mar

the cafe and began complaining that
he was going to be married and had
no epithalamium for his wedding. Pei

ranged, and the price agreed upon was

ty years he has had only academic
surroundings. With no experience,

the speaker, and whom has he to re-
iy on save "Jim" Nugent and Jim"
Smith and the rest of the gang.
"Nugent," he added, may be a pa
triotic citizen, but I've heard to the
contrary. A man like Wilson should
confne his appeal for votes to hard
she'll democrats, inasmuch as he has
all his life voted the straight dem
ocratic ticket aud makes a boast of
it.

introduced. John F. Ten Brock, OF
this city, on arising was given a
cheer that equalled In volume that
which greeted the gubernatorial can
didate earlier in the evening. He
