0. E. DAVIS FOR ASSEMBL YHE WAS NOMINATED AT THE REPUBLICAN CON-

VENTION LAST SATURDAY,

J{tines It. Carton of Asbury Park and George Washington Pat-terson, Jr., of Uowell Township, are the Other Nominees—TheTicket is Regarded by Republicans as a Very Strong One—TheDemocrats to Hold Their Convetition Nmtt Monday.

Ex-ShenfT Obadiah K. Davis of RedBunk was nominated fur the assemblyat the Republican convention last Satur-day. His associates on the ticket areGeorge Washington Patterson, Jr., ofArdena. in Howell township; and JamesD. Carton of Asbury Park, a formerresident of Morrisville,An Early tonvention.

The convention was the earliest andthe shortest ever held by the Republicansof Monmouth county. The idea of theleaders in calling it so early has not yetbeen fathomed. A month is usuallyconsidered time enough for a campaignwhen it ig to be waged for importantcounty offices. With only assembly-tiiM to be voted for this year it wasthought that the convention would becalled the middle of October, as thatwould guv the candidates over twoweeks to niuke a trip over the countyand make their canvass.

Many tJlii-Time Leaders Absent.A noticeable feature of the convention

was the absence of many of the countyleaders. Even the prominent local lead-ers of ninny townships were not present.Of those who constitute what is knownas the Heiwiey faction of the Republicanparty, hardly a representative was pres-ent. Judge Heisley himself was not atFreehold. Ex-Senator Francis was ab-sent. Dr. J, J, Reed, who- has alwaysbeen the ri^ht hand man of the Heisleyfolks at Seahright, did not put in an ap-pearance. Prosecutor John E. Foster ofMiddletown was too busy to attend theconvention. None of the members ofthe Sickle family of Navesink werepresent. T, Frank Appleby of AsburyPark, and Frank L. TenBroeck of thesame place, were conspicuous by theirabsence, Benjamin B. Ogden of Key-port, who for many years was the Re-publican boss of Raritan township, wasanother missing figure. Will Ely ofHolmdel, Daniel Savidge of Upper Free-hold, D, E, VanWiokle of Matawan, andpretty nearly all the other old-timefighters of the party, were away, Sena,tor Oliver H. Brown was present, but ofthose who trained with the Heisley ma-chine, about the only prominent menpresent were Dr. John W, Bennett, whoas chairman of the Republican countycommittee was obliged to be present,and W. S, Jackson of Wall township.

• taucttaina for Candidates.There was a good deal of caucusing

before the convention. The men whohad previously been looked upon as themost probable candidates absolutely re-fused to consider the idea of running,A great effort was made to get D, D.Deniae of Freehold to run, but he wasvigorous in refusing, A little boom wasstarted for Edmund Wilson of RedBank, but it died in its Infancy. T,Frank Appleby sent word to the conven-tion that under no conditions would herun.

Ex-Sheriff Davis was at Freehold asone of the delegates to the convention,A week ago some of his friends declaredthat he wanted the nomination, but thiswas not believed possible. As the dele-gates arrived at Freehold on Saturdaymorning they were assured by some ofthe Shrewsbury delegates that Mr. Daviswould accept the nomination and then asearch for other candidates was begun.Several caucuses were held, and at ameeting of the county committee at teno'clock Mr. Carton and Mr. Pattersonwere decided on as the other two nomi-nees.

A'New County Leader.It was plain that the Htisley machine

was not running tht convention, and itwas equally plain that the leadership ofthe part? had fallen on County ClerkMoDermbtt, The various caucuses wereheld in Mr, MeDermott's office, and whilehe did not personally take charge of

f things in the convention, and did notmake any display of his leadership there,this was-not necessary to proclaim himthe new, leader of the Republican partyIn Monmouth county.

BfttiHB mfthm CtoieefiffM,The convention organized by the

selection of General JoMhC, Battenon of

Ocean Grove as chairman of the conven-tion. Clarence E. F. Hetriek of AsburyPark was secretary, and W. 8, Jacksonof Wall township and Edward Taylor ofColt's Neck were assistant secretaries,There was no speeehmaking. In thepast the number of delegates at a Repub-lican county convention has beennearly 200, but the new primary law cutdown the number to 92, and only abouttwo-thirds of these were present.

There were the usual committees ap-pointed, and then the chairman statedthat a number of the delegates wereanxious to get away from Freehold onthe next train and he suggested that arecess of five minutes be taken to allowthe committees time to prepare their re.ports.

Reports of the Committees.This was done and in five minutes the

committees reported. There were nocontests and the committee on creden-tials had nothing to do. The committeeon rules hud an easy job, for they re-ported that they favored adoptingthe rules of the last convention as therules of this one. The committee onpermanent organization reported infavor of continuing the temporaryofficers in power, and this was done.The committee Son resolutions reportedthe following :We, Republican* of Monmouth county, in eonven-

(ton anserub'ed. do ht>re!>F resolve .-First: That the platform of the lait Republican

uational convention utitliuttd iiu? national policywhich under the BilmiiiUtr&UoQK of the lamentedMcKinlev, and our presunt President TheodareRoowTeft, his placed this nation on a pinnacle ofprominence, power and prosperity hitherto unknownin toe hlitory of toil or any other country.

Second: We endone the policies formulited bythe state convention last assembled and we fullycommend ibe admlnUtratkm of the p r o m t fnv-ei "or, Hon. Franklin Murphy, who, bf his «60uU»t'ability, hig patriotism and Dls great political saga-

ity, has added lantely to the present proiperlty ofour itate, in that large appropriationi have beenmaito which ba?e been devoted to the great iraproTe-mentof our public Mghsrayg and the great reductionof our •cbool tax.

Third: We will go into this campaign resolved U>ise every honest effort to recure the election ef thenominees of this convention, to whom we benfilpledge our full nuppon.

The reading of the resolutions createdno enthusiasm whatever. The names ofMeKinley, Roosevelt and Murphy causednot a single hand-clap.Naming the Candidates.

When the nominations were calledfor, John S. Applegate, Jr., made aspeech in which he nominated ex-SheriffObadiah E. Davis, The mention of Mr.Davis'a came brought forth some ap-plause, and this was the only applausegiven during the convention. GeorgeW. Patterson, Jr., and James D. Cartonwere Darned as tht other candidates.The secretary cast a ballot for all three,and the convention was over.

He is a young man and he moved to An-bury Park Hotiitt years ago. Hi' titudiedlaw and is now regarded us one of therising young lawyers of the county.He is a Roman Catholic and is a UUMUIHT

of Asbury Park Catholic church. He iswell known in Red Bank and he marrieda Hed Bank girl. Miss Lily Ludlow.Mrs. Carton is a granddaughter of Mrs.Alice Ludlow of Red Hank, and is asister of Mrs. Henry Supp. Over atEverett, where Mr. Carton was born,he ia held in high esteem, and they speakof him either familiarly, as "Jimmie"Carton ; or reverently, as "Counsellor''Carton. Most of the residents of Everett,including Mr. Carton's relatives there,are Democrat,, but almost every voterin the place will cast his ballot for Mr.Carton. lir.^hrton is the father of twoboys and a girl. He saya he hasn't aamany children as Mr. Davis, but that ifhe is blest with a few pairs of twins ora few sets of triplets he will aoon catchup.

George Washington Patterson, Jr.(Jetrge Washington Patterson, Jr.,

lives at Ardena, in Howell township.He is a son of General John C. Pattersonof Ocean Grove. General Patterson is apeacable man nowadays and he likes todwell in the peace and quietude of theCity of Saints, but years ago he was agreat fighter, as can be seen from histitle. Beside being a general, «he ischairman of the Monmouth county boardof elections. However, as the poet said1

It isn't of hH father that I'm going for to sing.George Washington Patterson, Jr., u

a nephew of the great and good GeorgeWashington Patterson of Asbury Parkand Ocean Grove, who died some yearsago, and who for a long time wasone of the most notable Democratsof Monmouth county. That makesGeorge Washington Patterson, Jr.. (sup-pose we call him George Jr. for short)a cousin of Samuel H, Patterson ofAsbury Park, who is one of the Dem-ocratic bosses of that place, George Jr.is a farmer and a good one. He is up-to-date in running his farm and in doingeverything else that he takes In hand.He is a notary public and a Methodist,and he is one of the officers of the Adel-pbia Methodist church, He has run foroffice several times in his home townshipand has always been defeated. Thishas not been because George Jr. has notbeen a good man, but because he has

run on the Republican ticket,

told by palm readers, eUirvoyanta andntar guzi'rHcombined, and that when thescroll of th« future was unrolled theyHaw emblazoned on it the names of allthe Republican candidates for tht' as-sembly as sure winners. They say, too.that they are going to elect O. K. I)avinanyway, even if they have to knock allthe NturH in the heavens out of theirorbita to accomplish it.

PATRICK TOOMEY KILLED•TRUCK BY 4 TRAIN AT

LET LAST NIGHT,HAZ-

He Warn on His Way to Keyport Witha lA>ad of Tomatoes When He WarnStruck by an Empreum Train andHilled Instantly.Patrick Toomey of Everett was struck

by a train at the Hazlet crossing lastnight about five o'clock and was in-stantly killed. He was on his way tothe Keyport boat with a load of toma-toes when he was struck by an expresstrain, He was thrown a considerabledistance and was dead when picked up.His horse was killed and the wagon waswrecked.

Mr. Toomey was about 45 years old-He was a son of Michael Toomey andhad always lived at Everett, where hewas engaged in farming. A wife andsix children survive him.

He leaves also a brother, MichaelToomey, and a sister, Mrs. Patrick Daly,both of whom live at Everett.

Obadiah E. Davis.

The ticket is regarded by Republicansas a very strong one. Mr. Davis is anold campaigner who knows all the insand outs of politics. His candidacy forsheriff four years ago gave him an in-sight into practical politics, and taughthim what it is necessary to do in makinga county campaign. He is a man of con-siderable means, and though it is notgenerally considered worth while makingmuch of a fight for the.office of assem-blyman, still it is certain that Mr, Daviswill make a pretty good hustle for it.He is a builder and contractor by occu-pation. Among the prominent buildingsir* Red Bank which he has erected arethe township hall and the Baptistchurch. Be is a Baptist and stands highin his church ; and while his experienceas a Baptist has taught him that water isan excellent thing in its place, it is justpossible that his experience as a politi-cian has taught him that water has avery small place in a political campaign.He ran for the office of comnjiBsioner inRed Bank ten or twelve years ago andwas defeated, but the next year he triedit again and was elected. The succeed-ing year he ran for mayor of Red Bankand was elected, and he has been mayorof the town ever since. During thegreater part of the time he had no oppo-sition in the election for mayor, Mr.Davis it a married man and has a wholelot of children. He does not believe inrace suicide.

Jmmmm M>. Carton. 'James D. Carton is a native of Morris-

vllle, or Bftrttt, as it in *jow oalled.

while the people of Howell townshiphave the habit of voting the Democraticticket nearly unanimously. This yearhis neighbors and friends say they aregoing to give up the pernicious habit ofvoting the Democratic ticket, at least sofar m George Jr, is concerned, and thatthey are going to vote for him with suohunanimity that when the votes arecounted he will be so far ahead of every-body else that it will take a carrierpigeon a full day to get back to theothers. Like his fellow Republicans onthe ticket this year, George Jr. is astrong opponent of race suicide. He isthe father of three boys and a girl. Hesays he can't equal Mr. Davis's score justyet, but then he is a good deal youngerman, and in the years to come even Mr,Davis may find himself out-classed. "

The Oemoeratie Convention,The Democrats will hold their conven-

tion next Monday. There is no specula-tion as to what will be done at this con-vention, for last year's ticket is sure to bere-nominated. Amzi Poiten of AtlanticHighlands, Charles F, McDonald of Eng-liehtown and William F, Leflterson ofManasquan will be the candidates of theDemocrats.

Election Fortune-Telling.The Democrats say they have read the

stars and that they will win by 1,000majority in the county., They say theyalways win in off years anyway. Theypoint to the election seven years ago,when McKinley ran the first time andwhen the Republicans carried the countyby nearly 8,000. Then they point to theelection the next year, which was an offyear, with only assemblymen running,Che same as this year, and the three as-semblymen who in 1896 were elected bynearly 8,000 majority were beaten in1897 by about 2,000 majority. Besidesthe advantage of the off year, the Demo-crats say they are thoroughly organizedand perfectly harmonious this year, andthat they would roll up the old-time ma-jority this fall even if it wasn't an offyear, and even if the stars had not fore-told their triumph.

The Republicans say that that kind oftalk is all right, but that Democratshave read the stars all wrong. They saythat their fortune* this fall have been

BENJAMIN B. OGDEN MISSING,

He is Said to be Involved to theAmount of About 9100,000,

Benjamin B. Ogden of Keyport is reported to be missing, and it is said thathe has not been seen at Keyport sincelast Friday, He was the most promi-nent man at Keyport, and was post-master of the town. He was a lawyer,and was universally trusted. He wasmade the executor of many estates, andhad a large amount of trust funds in hischarge. Recently he became interestedin the cutlery company at Keyport, andwas understood to be the financial backerof that concern.

According to reports Mr. Ogden is in-volved to the extent of about f 100,000.Much of this money is said to be that ofestates which were in his charge. Thereare many stories current at Keyportconcerning the mattei1, but the generalbelief is that these moneys have beensquandered or lost in speculation,

Mr. Ogden was one of the directors ofthe People's national bank of Keyport,but about two weeks ago he was forcedto resign from the board. Burners con-cerning his financial condition have beencurrent for a month or more, but hewas not thought to be seriously involveduntil recently.

No steps looking to an investigation ofhis affairs have yet been taken, but thosewho are interested in the trust fundsheld by him are very anxious over thematter.

CENTURY MARK.

Tiempite Him Advanced Yearn He InVery Arrive and Hidm Fair to HeeMany Move Birthdays lAvem atHed Bank,Thomas Ingling, who lives with big

daughter, Mrs. Timbrook Davis of WestFront street. Red Hank, was ninety yearsold last Sunday. There wan no formalcelebration of the event. SheppardKollock of Bed Bank, who was ninetyyears old a few we^ks ago, .spent theafternoon with Mr. Ingling and the twomen spent almost the entire afternoon intalking over old times.

Mr. Ingling was born in Burlingtoncounty but he has lived in Monraouthcounty over half a century. When hefirst came to this county he located atLincroft and he lived there a great manyyears. Mr. Ingling has been twicemarried but both of his wives nre dead.His first wife was a Lloyd and his secondwife was Lydia Morris. His second wifedied twelve years ago and since then behas made his home among his children.

Mr. Ingling has five children living.They are Mrs, Timbrook Davis and Mrs,Lydia L. McQueen of Red Bank, JohnL. Ingling of Navesink, Thomas Inglingof Orange and Mrs. Susan Sherman ofPhiladelphia. The late Jonathan Ing-ling, who was at one time editor of theRed Bank Standard, was also his son.None of the Ingling family believe in racesuicide and consequently Mr. IngHng'sdescendants are legion. He has 38grandchildren, about 85 great-grand-children and several great-great-grand-children,

kr, Ingling is a remarkably active forone of his years. He travels aboutamong his relatives unattended and allhis faculties are unimpaired. It wouldhustle some of his grandchildren to keepup with him in a walking match. Hismemory is good and his chief delight isin talking over the timea when Red Bankwas merely a village. Mr, Ingling hasa sort of schedule mapped out for visit-ing his children and he adheres verystrictly to this schedule. He has theday and date in mind when he is to visitat a certain place and when that dayaad date comes around he is pretty cer-tain to be on hand.

There wan a dispute overthis decision. It watt settled Kati»fae-torily, but it wrought the partisans upto a still higher pitch.

In the fourth inning Long Branch hadthree men on baBes and no one out.Three balls and two strikea hud beencalled on the man at the bat, Whenthe next hall wa§ pitched the batterstarted for first baae, "taking it for

jjranteU that four balls had been called.The Long Branch rooters had kept upiuch an uproar during the whole of thisinning that the decisions of the umpirecould be heard only a few yards away.The third baseman, seeing the batteritart for first base, thought that he wasforced in and started for the home plat?.The umpire, however, had called aitrike. The runner from third, havingleft his base, started to steal hojne butwas put out. Robinson, the Long Branchpitcher, was so enraged over the decisionthat he walked up to the umpire andknocked his mask off. Henriques,another Long Branch player, deliber-ately struck the umpire with his fists,Officer Patterson intervened and pre-vented any further fighting. The um-pire refused to allow the game to pro-ceed unless Robinson, who started theattack on the umpire, was taken out.Long Branch would not acquiesce inthis decision. Time was called on themand the game was given to Red Bank.The score up to this time was 8 to 5 infavor of Red Bank, Had there been noassault the matter could have no doubtbeen settled, Mr. Werner, a New Yorkman, was umpire.

When the game was called there wasa big dispute over bets. Long Branch-ers had backed their team heavily andthey insisted that the bets were off, Incases where a Long Brancher was stake-holder the money was returned to thebettors, In a majority of cases where aBed Banker was stakeholder the moneywas turned over to the man who heldthe Red Bank end of the bet, RedBankers claimed that bets went withthe decision of the umpire where a teamrefused to continue the game.

The Harvest home of the Colt's NeckReformed church was held last Wednes-day and was a grand success. The netprofits reached the sum of $355.01. Oneof the most attractive features of theharvest home was the booth for the saleof candy and fancy articles. The womenwho made the pretty things are entitledto great credit, both for the things them-selves and for the unselfishness shown indevoting so much time to church work.The fancy table cleared #00.40, and thismoney went into the chapel fund. Mr,Potter, the pop-corn man of ConeyIsland, is a cousin of Mrs. Louis Soffel,Jr., and he remembered the chapel fundby sending a bountiful supply of** pop-corn to the harvest home.

The supper was the great and centralattraction, and a large number of ticketswere sold at half a dollar each. Theamount cleared at the supper table -was$318.25. The candy table cleared $10.28:the ice cream and other refreshmenttables cleared $04.88: the solicitors re-ceived $48.25 ; and the little girls whosold flowers took in $8.80.

Porto Rico Cigars. YY

* #During the past year Porto Rico cigars have become quite popular.

They ought to be. It is about a year now since Porto Rico cigarshave been coming into this country duty free. Before that they hadto pay a high rate of duty.

Porto Rico, as everybody knows, is the island in the West Indiesthat we took away from Spain when we had that little scrap with thatcountry three .or four years ago. After Uncle Sam got possession ofthe island it was treated pretty much as a foreign country for a while,but the tariff bars were finally let down.

Now I can sell Porto Rico cigars for 5 cents each which formerlyhad to be sold at 12 cents each. The cigar is made of exactly thesame tobacco as formerly, but the cigar itself is made a little betterthan when the island belonged to Spain. This is because Americanmanufacturers have gone down there and have set up manufactoriesor have taken up the management of the factories which formerly weremanaged by the Spanish grandees or hidalgos, or whatever namethose lordly foreigners went by in the old days.

Most of the Porto Rico cigars I sell are from the plantation andfactories of Heraclio Mendoza at Cayey. This man's cigars have beenthe best that ever came from Porto Rico, according to the general ver-dict. I keep several grades of them, from the 5 cent kind up, Ihave them at 4 for a quarter and at 10 cents each; and I also have thecelebrated L, Toro cigar, likewise a Porto Rico article.

The cheaper grades of the Porto Rico cigars are dark colored.^ /The cigars get lighter as the price goea up.

Some smokers tire of the taste of Porto .Rico cigars, if they con-tinue to smoke them for a long time to the exclusion of all otherkinds. For an occasional change, however, they seem to be verypopular. Next to the cigars I make myself I regard the Porto Ricocigars as the" very best cigars that can be obtained for the price.

The storm which swooped down soon this locality this morning w

one of th« most ievere that ever struckthe Jersey coast. At Sandy Hook thewind's highewt velocity was eighty mileMan hour and the surf U higher than itlias been for yean*.

Th*J damage in Red Rank ia confinedprincipally to trees and chimneys. Allthe streets are littered with broken limbsand thoroughfareH are rendered almostimpassable for wagon traffic. At thecorner of Front and Washington streetstwo large trees were blown out by theroots, A big willow tree in the rear ofthe Union hotel was broken off about sixfeet abow the ground and Stouts alleyiH blockaded as the result. The roofover the Nidewalk in front of the Stoutstores was lifted by the gale, allowingone of the iron pillars to drop againstthe window of the Italian barber shop,The window was smashed.

David McClure's sailboat was uajwizednnd driven up against the Southern rail-road bridge, No damage has been donealong the river front, but if the stormcontinues there may be considerable lossat high water this afternoon.

At one time, for instance, he wan de-fending a murderer on Dec, 24. AUday long he harassed witnesses re-calling them, causing delay after de-lay before getting bis anal address tothe jury. It was well on in the even-ing before he commenced. Then sud-denly, at the height of his passionateappeals for the prisoner, the slow, •oi-enm bells of the cathedral nest doorpealed for the midnight mass—the flr«tmass of Christmas morning, Lachaodstppped as if overwhelmed by a s«d-

Which of us woulddare now, on this great day of mercyand forgivenesB, to condemn anotherhuman being and, above all, to con-demn one whose culpability la morethan doubtfulT

The prisoner was acquitted withoutthe least difficulty, though his deathsentence ttn minutes before had beenregarded as certain. The actual soundof the pealing bells had been too muchfor nerves already strained to snap-ping point by the fatigue of a toneday's sitting.

But nobody guessed, except the fewwho knew iaehaud intimately, thathe had been maneuvering from thetime the court opened In the morningto get that one stirring effect Theprisoner was a dead man without Itand saved as certainly tf It could bebrought off

RED BANK REGISTER.VOLUME XXVI. NO. 12. BED BANK, N. J., WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 16. 1903. PAGES 9 TO 16.

BANK OFFICERS GUILTY.A VERmCT RENDERED AGAINST TWO OF THEM

AT FREEHOLD ON MONDAY,

J, W, Newbery and Rudolph Newman, Officers of the MercantileBank, Found Guilty of Doing a Banking Business Contraryto Law—The Ejctretne Penalty it Seven Years in State Prisonand $5,000 Fine—Augustus L, Chatterton Acquitted,

One of the indictments against theofficials of the Mercantile Co-operativebank was tried last week. The case be-gan last Thursday morning and was

.finished Monday morning, when the jurybrought in their verdict. The indict-nje^t was against John W. Newbery,Rudolph Newman and • Augustus L.Chatterton, who were charged in the in-dictment with conducting a bankingbusiness in violation of law. The juryfound Newbery and Newman guilty andacquitted Chatterton.

The Jurora in the Case.The case was tried by a struck jury.

Before the case began the lawyers forthe bank oiticers made a motion to quashthe indictment. This was refused bythe oouit and the jury was then drawn.Nineteen persons whose names weredrawn were excused for one reason oranother. Several of the jurymen hadbeen shareholders in the bank and theywere excused by consent. Each side alsoexhausted all its challenges but one,Horace H, Moore of Wall township saidlie did not want to serve on the jury,He told JtiJge Fort he had formed anopinion in the case which would preventhim from giving an unbiased verdict, nomatter what the evidence might be, and

Judge Fort told him he might go, Thejury as finally made up was as follows :

John B. Boriien of Wall township.John Hulsbart of Neptune township.CbtriM U. AUIDS of NeptuDe tuwDsnlp.WilUira ApplegPRte of Neptune township.Auguitus (, handler of Ocean township.Edwin Hul»uart of Howell township,Charles H. Build of Howell township.William E. Warn of Earitau township.John 8. Hendrleifion of Upper Freehold township,William E. Cox of Upper Freehold township.Alonzo B. Parsons of Neptune towasblp.Daulei i . Aumack of Manalapan township.

Many Exception* Taken.There was a short opening by Prosecu-

tor Foster, who was frequently Btoppedby the lawyers on the other side formaking statements which they claimedwere improper and which could notform any part of the case. Most of theobjections were sustained by the courtThe case all the way through bristledwith objections by the lawyers on bothaides, Some of these objections weresustained by Judge Fort and some wereoverruled. In each case where the ob-jections of the bank's lawyers were over-ruled the lawyers on that side took an" exception ' to the judge's rulings.Perhaps as many as a hundred of theseexceptions were taken in the course ofthe trial, and each of these exceptionswill afford a reason for carrying thecase to the higher courts. If any oneof the exceptions should be held bythe higher courts to be valid, and if inany one of these exceptions Judge Fortshould be held by the higher courts tohave been wrong, then the verdict willbe set aside and a new trial ordered.

A© Sew Facts IHteloaed.The trial did not disclose any new

facts about the bank or its condition, inaddition to what igalready known. Thiswas because the character of the indict-ment which was tried shut out all testi-mony concerning the condition of thebank. A law passed in 1895 declaresthat any person who shall carry on thebusiness of a bank must get out a licenseor a certificate therefor, and if they donot run the bank in conformity to lawthen they are liable to a fine of $5,000 andimprisonment for seven years.

The whole case hinged on one point.This was, whether^ the business carriedon was that of a bank or that of a build-ing and loan association, The prosecu-tion contended that the concern was abank, The officers contended that itwas a building and loan association. Ifthe business was that of a building andloan association, then the officers werenot guilty of conducting a bank andhence were not guilty as charged in theindictment. •

A Long Legal Argument,Charles L, Corbin, who was one of the

lawyers for the officers of the concernmade a long argument over this matter,Mr. Corbin ig regarded as one of thmost eminent lawyers of New Jerseyand his address on this matter waslistened to with gnat attention by all"the lawyers in the oourt room. A num-*>er of lawyerfl'came in expressly to hea

him. Mr. Oorbin is long and lean andank and lame. He has to use crutcheswhen he walks, but he can stand upwithout their aid. He is considerablyver six feet tall, and he is thinner than

William Cullington. His address wasnot an oratorical display. It was moreike a plain talk with Judge Fort overhe law in the case. Mr. Corbin de-lared that the Mercantile Co-operative>ank was a building and loan associa-ion ; that several classes of stock could

be subscribed for by the shareholders,and that one class of the stock, knownas Class D stock, could be paid for byurning in sums of any amount at anyiaie, and that part of this money or all»f it could be withdrawn by makingpplication and giving proper notice. It

was on this class of stock that the prose-ution claimed that the banking law

was violated and that the method ofondueting the business of the concernn this class of stock constituted doing a

banking businees and not a building andoan business. Mr. Oorbin asked JudgeFort to order the jury to bring in a ver-dict of acquittal on the ground thathere was no violation of the bankingaw, but Judge Fort said that that was amatter for the jury to determine,

Mr. Corbin then claimed that even ifhe concern had done a banking busi-

ness, it did not come under the bankingaw. The Mercantile bank was startedn 1894, and the banking law was passedn 1895. Mr, Oorbin claimed that pri-

vate banking had been perfectly legalup to the time of the passage of thebanking law in 1895 ; that even if theMercantile bank had been conducting abanking business, this law, of 1895 wasnot retroactive and could not put con-cerns out of business which had been pre-viously organized under the laws whichhad then existed. He claimed that ifBuch-were the ease, then every privatebank and banking concern in the statewould have had to quit business themoment the law was passed, and wouldhave had to wait till the banking depart-ment of the state should find time oropportunity to grant them a commissionto do business. He stated that it wasridiculous to suppose that such a lawwould be enacted, and that the effect ofthe law of 1895 on concerns already es-tablished and doing business did not putthese concerns out of business, and didnot require them to get a license or acertificate before they could continue thebusiness; but merely required them tofile certain reports and statements, whichthe Mercantile bank had always done.

Hole the Bank Was Conducted.The actual evidence given in the case

was very small. The character of theindictment was such that no evidencecould be introduced showing the generalcondition of the bank, or what had be-come of the money taken in. The onlyevidence that could be given was thatwhich would show the methods of con-ducting business at the bank, howmoney was taken in, how it was paidout, etc,

William H, Hendrickson, Jr., of RedBank, was the principal witness forboth sides. Re was thg assistant cashierof the bank while it was in operation inBed Bank. The concern had first beenstarted in 1894, but the Red Bank branchhad not been started until several yearslater. There were branches at Freeholdand in several other towns, similar tothat at Bed Bank, except that in theseother towns the bank did not own thebuilding where it did business.

Th* Lmeml Officer*.Mr. Hendrickson said that John King

was cashier of the Bed Bank branch of theMercantile Co-operative bank, and thatht was assistant cashier. He had beenengaged by John W, Newbery, the presi-dent. Mr. Hendrickson's instructionscan t from Mr, King, and he presumedMr. King's orders were received fromthe board of directors. The principaloffice of the. concern was at Jersey City.

Cf«rac« mf Stock.There were several classes of stock

ietufed by the Mercantile bank. One

guaranteed the payment of four per centdividends on Class D stock. If the con-cern did not make four per cent, thenthe money which had been paid in forthe permanent capital stock could betaken to make up the four per cent divi-dend. If more than four per cent wasmade by the concern, then all the profitsabove four per cent made on Class Dstock were to go to the holders of thepermanent capital stock. The holders ofthe permanent capital stock had to makeregular monthly payments on theirstock, but the holders of Class D stockcould pay in any amount they liked, butthey were required to pay in at least onedollar per year.

Clams M> stork, #r Mtepostts.All holders of Class D stock, before

they could open an account with theMercantile bank, were required to signan application blank, This blank wasan application for Claae D stock and itgave the consent of the applicant tothe rules nnd regulations governing theinstitution.

After they had signed this applicationthey received a pass book, in which waswritten the amount they had paid,When they wished to withdraw moneythey would sign a withdrawal blank.Under the rules of the concern theofficers could require shareholders togive advance notification of the desire towithdraw money, but the by-laws per-mitted the officers to waive this rule andto pay out the money on receipt of awithdrawal order, Mr. Hendricksontestified that if the amount desired to bewithdrawn was not more than severalhundred dollars, it was the custom topay it out at once, without requiring theshareholders to wait.All Depositors Were Shareholders'

A copy of each day's transactions wasforwarded daily to the home office atJersey City, The application blanks andwithdrawal orders taken in were for-warded with this copy of the day's tran-sactions. When money would accumu-late in the bank it was deposited iu theNavesink national bank, in the name ofthe Mercantile Co-operative Bank ofNew Jersey, It would be withdrawnfrom this bank by check drawn by theproper officials at the home office in Jer-sey City, Mr, Hendrickson said that allpersons who had money in the concernwere shareholders under some of theclasses of stock, and that no money wastaken in and no books issued unless thepersons had first signed the fornial ap-plication for shares,The Local Board of Trustees,

Dr. J, E. Sayre testified that he waselected a member of the board of localtrustees of the inltitution at a meetingof shareholders held at the town hall inBed Bank when the Bed Bank branchwas first started. A board of local trus-tees was selected by the local sharehold-ers, and the men so selected were after-ward appointed as local trustees by thedirectors of the concern. The trusteesof the Bed Bank branch were Dr, Sayreand John Abbott Worthley of Bed Bank,James Enright, Jr., of Oceanic, Dr, J. J,Beed Of Seabright, Benjamin P, Morrisof Long Branch, and Richard Borden ofLittle Silver. Judge Heisley'i name hadbeen on the letterhead of the institutionat one time, but it was testified thatJudge Heisley was never a member ofthe board of trustees. He had been ashareholder in the institution, but hadafterward withdrawn. Bis law firmcomprising himself and Benjamin P*Morris, the latter one of the local boardof trustees, had done some of the lawbusiness of the institution.

The duty of the local board of trusteeswss to give advice as to the value ofproperty in Monmouth and Ocean coun-ties on which loans were requested, andto see that no loans were made on t

on the matter. It was stated that thisopinion set forth that the plan and scopeof the Mercantile Co-operative bankwore perfectly legal, and that in trans-acting its business in the manner indi-cated in its constitution and by-laws, itwas in thorough conformity with thelaw. Mr. Wilson was said by some ofthe hank people to have been paid $75for this opinion. He had been sub-poenaed as a witness but he did not putin an appearance at the trial. The bankofficials stated that in addition to Mr.Wilson's opinion, which had been askedfor because the local board of trusteeswanted a local authority as to the law inthe case, they had also the opinions ofsome of the most eminent lawyers in thestate that the methods of the Mercantilebank were in accordance with the law.

The court did not allow Mr. Wilson'slegal opinion to be introduced as evi-dence. A lawyer's opinion, it was said,could never be introduced as evidence ina suit of this character. The lawyers nodoubt knew this, but their object was

y gained when they got the fact

1was agreed that Urn nmt of those totestify to having money m the bankshould be sworn in bunchfH, and theirpass books should lw accepted as theirevidenije iu the case. This wan doneand an many witnesst's as could con-veniently he sworn at once were broughtforward. Three batt-hea of witnesseswere thus sworn, the individuals beingas follows :LJizie Ward,Mrs, Kmuia K, Bruce,Mrs. Frank Ward,Richard B, Ford,Isabella Hlateimann,Lllla Bray,ADD Golden,John Willey,Mary F. Welsh,David A, Walling,Carrie B, Bordeu,(Jeonre Mount.Mrs. Nora Conrad,Emma Abbott,Susie A. Allgor,(iwirKe M, Quackenbugh,Kev. C. H. McDonald.Jowph sproul,Jane Ellis,Juhn Kline,

Another Legal Argument,When the swearing of the witnesses in

batches was over, Charles L. Corbinaddressed the court. He asked

before the jury that although the prose-cutor might claim that the bank'smethods of transacting business wereillegal, the local trustees had Mr, Wil-son's authority that the bank's businesswas conducted in a legal way.A Host of Local Wiinesjtee,

After the testimony of Mr, Hendrick-son and the local board of trustees wascompleted there were put on the stand alarge number of those who had moneyin the bank when it failed. They toldabout putting money in the bank andthey exhibited their pass books to showthe amount they had in the institutionat the time it failed. Some of them re-membered signing the application blanks,some of them did not remember whetherthey signed anything or not, and somedeclared that they had never signed any-thing, either when they put money inthe bank or when they took it out, Anumber of those who declared that theyhad not signed anything at all wereafterward shown the application blanksor the withdrawal blanks signed bythem, and they admitted that the nameswere in their handwriting and that theymust have forgotten all about signingthe papers. The lawyers stated thatthey did not think any of the witnesseswho swore they had not signed anythingwished to misrepresent matters, but thatthey had forgotten about signing thepapers.

Several of the witnesses also testified

of itook

hi*property in excess of the value of theproperty. All of the trustees had thor-ough confidence in the concern and allof them had considerable amounts in theinstitution, Richard Borden was theheaviest loser by the failure of the con-cern, behaving had about $4,000 in thebank at the time it failed.A LagM Opinion Excluded.

When the testimony of Mr. Hendriok-son and the local trustees was completedthe lawyers for the defense exhibited alegal opinion given by Edmund Wilsonof Bed Bank, The lawyers stated thatthere was no question whatever as to thelegality of the methods of doing businessby the Mercantile Co-operative bank, butthai the local trustees, who probablywen not familiar with all the laws gov-erning such institutions, wanted to be

that when they put their money in thebank they signed their names in a longbook, similar to that used in a nationalbank for the identification of signatures,and that there was nothing else on thepage of the book where they signed ex-cept a list of names. The pages of thebook containing their names were after-ward shown these witnesses, and theyproved to be the pages of a ledger, withno other name than their own upon It.and with a printed heading to be filledout, giving the age, height, weight, andother personal facts concerning the in-dividual whose account with the bankwas on that page of the ledger. In thesecases also tne lawyers for the defencestated to the court that they did not be-lieve witnesses wanted to testify to any-thing except the exact truth, but thatthey had forgotten what they actuallydid sign, and with the lapse of time theyhad got this ledger page confused intheir minds with the signature bookused in national banks,

Itnie Pathetic Star teg.

Among the witnesses who testified asto their dealings with the Mercantilebank were Samuel Walsh, Mrs, MargaretA, Emery, Miss Ella Otterson, WilliamOtterson, Thomas Carman, B, G. Ridg-way, Lydia Bennett, Joseph Winter,Michael J. Ryan and Deborah Combs ofRed Bank ; George W. Patterson, Jr., ofArdena; Omar Sickles of Navesink ;and Thomas Calt and Charlotte 8, Mur-phy of Port Monmouth, The stories toldby some of these witnesses were vtrypathetic, Mrs, Emery testified that shehad received, $1,600 from the sale ofsome property, which was all she had inthe world, and that she had put it in thebank. This was less than two monthsbefore the concern failed, She saidwhen the bank .failed all the money shehad was two cents. B. G. Ridgwaytold how be had sold his farm and hadput the money in the Mercantile bank in

the court to order the jury to bring in averdict of not guilty on the ground thatit had not been shown that a bankingbusiness was done, but that a buildingand loan association business had beentransacted, He said that if the methodsof transacting the business of the con-cern made it a banking business, thenevery shareholder must be equallyguilty, because they were shareholdersin a bank and not in a building and loanassociation, Judge Fort dissented fromthis view, Many of the legal pointsraised in the case were said by JudgeFort to be very close questions of law,and in a number of cases he admittedbeing in doubt, but he decided to allowthe case to go to theJjury for their de"cision,

Conclusion of the Testimony.The officials of the bank put only two

witnesses on the stand. The first ofthese was William H, Hendrickson, Jr.,whose testimony was wanted to clear uptws or three things which had come upin the case. The other witness was Mr,Conklin, who is in charge of the statedepartment of building and loan associa-tions. He testified that the Mercantilebank had regularly filed its reports withthe state officials, in the manner requiredof all building and loan associations bythe state laws.

Judge Fort's Charge,Judge Fort delivered his charge to the

jury on Monday morning. The counselfor the bank gave the judge 57 requeststo charge the jury. Some of these re-quests Judge Fort complied with, someof them he complied with partly, andsome of them he refused. Exceptionswere taken to his refusals to charge, andalso to the charge as a whole.

In.making his charge Judge Fortstated that there were two points inthe case. One was whether the businessof the Mercantile bank was that of abank or of a building and loan associa-tion, and if the jury decided it was abank business, then the other point wasas to whether or not it was conductedby the defendants. The charge wasvery long and occupied over an hour.The judge stated that there were manynovel principles of law in the case. Ifthe jury believed that the business asconducted was that of a building andloan association, then they were to findthe defendants not guilty ; but if theyfound that a banking business was con-ducted under the guise of the businessof a building and loan association, andif they also believed that t ie defendantswere the persons responsible for thecarrying on of this business, they were *•to bring in a verdict of guilty. Each ofthe three defendants was to be consid-ered separajtily, and if any of themwas found not to be responsible, thenthat person should be acquitted, even ifthe others were convicted.

Tic© Found Guilty,The jury were out about an hour and

returned with a verdict of guilty as toJ. W, Newbery and Rudolph Newman,the president and treasurer of the con-cern ; and with a verdict of not guiltyas to Augustus L. Chatterton, the secre-tary.

The sentences will be imposed nextMonday. The maximum penalty is im-prisonment in state prison for sevenyears and a fine of $5,000.

but it was of short duration, BenjaminB, Ogden wan recently forced to retirean a director of the Peopled nationalbank of that place. Notice of his retire-ment was published on Friday a weekago and a rumor was circulated that Mr,Ogdeii was indebted to the bank formuch more than he was able to pay.He had been a director of the bank forfourteen years and was a dominantfactor in the bank's management.

On Monday morning depositors beganto withdraw their accounts and on Tues-day there was quite a run on the bank.The bank officials had prepared for theemergency. They bad the money topay all demands made and they bad abank examiner on hand to make a state-ment as to the bank's condition. De-positors who wanted their money got itbut many who applied for their moneywent away without it after being as-sured by the government official thatthe bank was as sound as a dollar.

The bank examiner stated that theamount of Mr. Ogden's indebtedness tothe bank had been greatly exaggerated.He said that his total indebtedness didnot amount to more them #11,000 andthat the bank was amply secured forthis amount, The greater part of Mr.Ogden's liability is for endorsements forother people.

On Wednesday the excitement sub-aided. The fears of the depositors hadbeen allayed and some of those who hadwithdrawn their deposits began takingthem back.

WHAT THmPERS SAY.BOARD* O r PARDON* DUTIES

TO THE PUBLIC.

The ffUM4fffei«M« Bje*retmm • / thePmrilmnln0jPw*v*r Hhout* Be Um-mtrmlne* l e « t i M l 4dr«Hce4 / # rflir Ma-CaifMl" Lmtr'm Drlmym,"

itywn Uit Lutnu Branch Ret'itni.)Recently many severe condemnations

of what have bten termed " thw law'idelays" have iioen huard. Learnedlawyers have seriously asserted that intheir opinion lynchiiigs HIV the directresult gf these delays. Even an associ-at*1 justice of the United States [supremecourt has Hignified hii acceptance of thiiview.

Il has been itated that a revision ofour criminal lawi offers ua the onlyjfmtHlv for lynch ings ami kindred evils,all of which are dependent upon a popu-lar lack of respect for the law. ft hasbeen said, in effect, that we must puouhthose convicted of crimes without allow-ing them an appeal from the verdict ofthe trial jury.

The claim has not been advanced thatthe necessity for an abolishment of thesafeguards which the law interposes be-tween a men and unjust punishment i»hawed upon the requirements of right..Expediency, and that alone, conititutesthe burden of the argument of the advo-cates of swifter punishment.

That society would in no way be bene-fited by the proposed change is sure,Frequent miscarriages of justice wouldnot diminish the number of violationsof the law. On the contrary, it wouldtend to have the opposite effect.

What we need is not more numerousmiscarriages of justice, which we wouldhave if the law's safeguards of the inno-cent were removed, but a more rigidadherence to the dictates of commonsense and a wise public policy in thematter of pardoning and paroling con-victed criminals.

These persons have had fair trials ;they have had opportunities to havetheir cases reviewed by unprejudicedjudges and to have new trials il therewero flaws in the evidence which se-cured their conviction. They have, ifthey have not taken advantage of theinfinitely large number of safeguardswhich the law atfordfd them, shown a.belief in the impossibility of their ulti-mate acquittal,

For all practical purposes we may re-gard these individuals as guilty Withoutquestion of the crimes of which theywere convicted,

Then, wisdom dictates the advisabilityof allowing them to receive the punish-ment which the legal tribunals have de-cided that they merit.

It is unfortunate that the variousboards of pardons and others to whom isentrusted the pardoning power are notmore vividly impressed with a sense oftheir duty to the public. They liberatethousands of criminals each year with-out sufficient reasons.

What are the effects of their actione?In Kentucky two hundred and sixty-fivemurderers have been pardoned in thepast eleven years. The low value placedupon human life in that state today isthe result.

What is true of Kentucky is true in agreater or less measure of all statef.

New Jersey has felt the effects of thegranting of undeserved pardons. Thepardoning of Tom Drum, the negro in-cendiary and burglar, and the directresults thereof are familiar history.Other examples d a y readily be ad-duced.

Nothing in the way of legislation thatmakes more difficult the conviction of aninnocent man ever did or can do one-millionth the mischief that the pardon*ing of a convicted criminal, without suf-ficient cause, does.

The injudicious exercise of the pardon-ing power should, if possible, be re-strained. It, and not any law designedto add to the justice and dignity of thelaw, is productive of a growing "popularcontempt for the law and the officerswho should execute it,

The President ana CorporaHonm,(From (he New Yitrk Journal,)

Theodore Roosevelt travelled allthrough the country making speeches—looking toward a nomination for thePresidency—and ht traveled on a specialtrain.

It U admitted by the President, in anofficial statement made through the N§wYork Tribune, that this special trainwlI iih carried him everywhere wrs pro-vided and paid for by a great railroadcorporation—one of the corporationsmost interested in legislation and mostanxious for the friendly consideration ofthe President, whose veto defeats a law.

The New York 8%m declares that therailroad corporation not only suppliedthe President with his special train, butalso supplied him and his entire party,which was very large, with all of theirfood, and all of their drinks, " includingchampagne and Scotch whiskey," ThePresident is doubtless a temperate man,but we are bound to agree with the NewYork Suit's statement that there is some-thing queer in the sight of a railroadcorporation supplying the President ofthe United States and a large party withchampagne and whiskey in addition totransportation.

In the statement which the New YorkTribune published on the President's be-half as an explanation, it waa said thatthe President inquired and found that itwas customary for Presidents to acceptfavors from railroad corporations. Inhis own defence the President said thatwhen he travelled on a certain railroad,i t j ave that railroad splendid advertis-ing, so that he really was not taking aifavor from the railroad, but conferringa favor upon the railroad,

Mr. Holmes, the very able editor of theBoston Herald, replies in an editorial ofa column and a half to the President'sdefence. He Bays among other things:

" The American people do not like tothink of their President performing the

* part ol an exalted » sandwich manT forany railroad company, no nutter whatcompensation th* company may be will-ing to give&im lor advertising it. Iffthit was a tour, of inexorable public

duty, the government ought to foot thebill, not a railroad corporation. If itw u a tour in the interest of the Repub-lican party, the Republican party organi-sation ougtii to foot the bill. If it WM atour of personal recreation and pleasure,the heneAriafiHi ought to foot the bill.In no CIM ought a railroad corporationto be permitted to charge iuelf with thecoat as a gratuity. "

We are inclined to think that a greatmany ordinary citizens will agree; withthe view of the Boston Herald.

Everybody knowi that the great cor-poratiODS, especially railroad corpora-tions, are constantly encroaching uponthe rights of the j>eople, and that theyrely for their power upon their influencewith public men, more particularly withthe President of the United Stateo,

Hitherto, fortunately, there has beenalight indication of any direct personalrelationship between our President* andthe great corporations.

But Mr, Roosevelt's young son goesout West •hooting—a railroad presidentgoes with him, pays his expenBes, sup-pliei him with a ear free of charge.And when an ordinary Americanfarmer— perhaps afraid that his childrenor his stock may be shot—refuses to per.mit young Master Roosevelt to shoot onhis farm, the railroad president expresseHthe opinion that the farmer ought to belynched.

Then the President himself travels forthousand of miles at great expense, witha railroad corporation footing all the,bills.

Do the people think under such condi-tions that the President can considerwithout bias the request of these corpor-ation managers who have been hosts andwilling purse bearers for himself and hisfamily so constantly ?

Sunday Helling at Keyport,(From the Keyport Eiitcrprw.)

The Enterprise is reliably informedthat some of the storekeepers in thevicinity of the pt>fitoffice and elsewhereabout town are doing business on Sun-days in violation of the law. Once be-fore the Enterprise gave warning tothese people that they would be prose-cuted if they persisted in their illegalpractice of selling goods on Sunday, andn«w the warning is repeated with theassurance that prosecution will certainlyfollow. The law-abiding citiz-ns of thetown have declared that there shall be aproper observance of Sunday in Keyport,and the Enterprise is ready to lend everypossible assistance in that direction.These Sunday violators are confined toa foreign element which has settledamong us, and they appear to have noregard for the Lord's day. The businessthat they do on Sundays is an injuryand an injustice, more or less, to thosemerchants who close their stores on thatday, and this is another reason whythey should be suppressed. It is reportedthat these Sunday violators do morebusiness on the Lord's day than on anyother during the week, and it is a com*mon sight to see men going through thestreets with bundles of clothing, etc.,in their arms. It !• high time to put astop to this traffic and we suggest thatthe law-abiding citizens and merchantsof the town take immediate steps toobtain evidence for presentation to thenext grand jury, which convenes onOctober 8th. If one or two of theseviolators are properly prosecuted andpunished there will be an end to Sundaytraffic and that is what we all wantdone.

AN IRON KINO OF OLD TIMES.

Monmauth Ore Made Bailing on In-ifejtentfettee Hall in rhtlaaelphia.

(From the Freehold Transcript.)In the days when iron and steel trusts

were not yet dreamed of, the late Sam-uel G, Wright, whose home is now occu-pied by his grandson, Walter Wright,near Imlaystown, was the owner of oneof the most important iron plants in thecountry, the Hanover furnace, near TomsRiver, where bog iron from Mon mouthcounty was smelted in large quantitiesand formed the principal part of the rawmaterial handled. At Wright's foundrywere made the first water pipes of theCroton water plants for the New Yorkcity supply. The ornamental railing onthe top of Independence Hall, Phila-delphia, were also manufactured there.The farmers of the county found an im-portant source of revenue in the ironthat they carted from their bogs andfurnished to the Hanover furnace.

In addition to the local supply, Wrightprovided other resources for his business,which was fast growing at the time ofhis death. He was a widely traveledman, and acquired an interest of one-fifth in the great iron mountain of Mis-souri, of which the value was not fullyrealized in his day. His heitg sold h:'sinterest for less than $100, little dreamingthat the mountain would prove to be oneof the richest sources of iron ore in theUnited States,

Wright's sudden taking off in his primeput an end to a career that would prob-ably have been one of the most con-spicuous in the state or nation if it couldhave continued to its normal fruition.He waa elected as a member of Congressin 1844, but did not live to take his seat,George Sykes, whom he had defeated bya narrow margin in the election, waschosen for the place. Wright's firstappearance in politics had been in thecapacity of elector for General WilliamHenry Harrison in his first term as Presi-dent. He also represented this countyin the etata. senate. His home, was oneof the best known centers of hospitalityin his "day, Representatives of many ofthe leading families of the state wereentertained there, including the Stock-tons of Trenton, Traget of the owner'sartistic taste still remain at the oldmansion, which has been in the pos-session of the Wright family since theColonial dayB.

His crop this yearamounted to 100 baskets and he soldthem all at an average price of $1,50 abasket. The highest price that he re-ceived was #1,75 a basket and the lowestthat he received was $1.35 a basket.Last year he sold a part of his crop forleas than 25 cents a basket.

iition of the bank, Mr, Newbery saidthat in his judgment the bank would

ay dividends of from fia to 75 per etat.He said there would be considerable ross

the bank building at Red Bank, as itcould not be sold fur aa much as it tost.The vault in the bank cost $10,000 and

e Haid this could be .sold for $5,000. Themilding and ground, outside of thevault and bank equipment, cost about$74,000, and $55,000 or thereabouts hadbeen offered for it. This offer had beenk'cline'l because it was thought thatnore than this sum should be realizedrnm its sale.Mr. Newbery also said that the loss on

all loans which had been collected thusar by foreclosure proceedings had been

about 11 f per cent,Xo More, TrtalH ,Tunt Xow,

Eversince the carpenters' union of lied Bunkwas organized MB» Peaso has been amuuibiT of that bu«l> . H«* haw niH, how.ever, conformed to the union rules ofeight hours a day, but has required hiamen to work nin»> hours,a day. Unionmen and non-union men have beunworking for him on this basis.

Noiice waa recently ntrved on Mr.Pease that a tine would be imposed onhim if In* did not obserTe the eight-hourday and notice to the same effect wasserved on the union men who wereworking for him. Two of the unionmen who were working for Mr. Peasenre Red Bankers. There was a meetingof the Red Bank union on Saturdaynight and Mr. Pease went theru withblood in his eyes. He told the unionthat one of the Red Bank men who wattworking for him had been out of workfor three weeks, and that he was gladto get work at nine hours a day, Hesaid that if union men could not takenine-hour a-day jobi, particularly whenthe work was outside of Red Bank, thenthe union men who were working oughtto chip in and pay these idle men fortheir lost time. This proposition metDO favor whatever with the union men.

Mr. Pease then said that if union*ism was going to let men be idlerather than work nine hours a day, hewas through with unionism and theycould cross his name off their books,He has advertised in this week's issue ofTHE REGISTER for non-union men, andhe says that hereafter he will employonly workmen of that class. Two ofthe Red Bankers who were employed byMr. Pease have resigned from the unionand will continue to work nine hours aday for Mr, Pease.

HER ONE OPPORTUNITY.

Aqnt Mary Grabwn, widow,lived on the oataklrts of the village ofBafcerfvHle, was oil atone on thatThtiraday evening. Tbe hired man hadsope In one direction and too hired girlla another, and neither w&i expectedback before midnight. The widowworked away at a cfaiy quirt until 0o'clock and had juit put away her tew-ing to make ready for bed when sheheard the kitchen do«r open and shut.Then iome one walked across the roomand opened the sitting room door andentered, and she looked up to find a(tranger present He wai a man ofmiddle age, fairly well dressed, illsface was not at all wicked, though Ithad a dissipated look,'v "I beg your pardon for this intru-sion," he said as she regardod him witha poaaled look, "but my excuse is thatI have called on builneaa and am to•dnjethhag of, a hutry, I want whatmoney you have in the houie, and thepooDer you hand it orer the sooner I'll*e gone."

*%ou don't mean that you aro a rob-ber f* queried the woman.

"Taafi_what I am. I know you arealone in the house, and I hope you willband over the money like a sensiblewoman and not provoke me to anger,"

-"Won't you Bit down? I shall not•scream or anything, I ha've heardabout robbers ever since I was a child,but you are the first one I ever saw."You rouif excuse me if I have a nat-ural curioilty about the matter. Is thisyour first experience?"

"Not by a long chalk. I f i nearer myfiftieth,"

"I am somewhat glad of that," saidAunt Mary. "A man who had Justturned robber broke into my sister1!bouse in TaylorviUe a few weeks ago,and I can't tell you of the mistakes hemade. She had 80 cents in her purse,and ne took that and left $75 In one ofthe drawers of the sewing machine.She has real solid silver spoons, andyet be laid them aside and took theplated. The sheriff Bald he was noth-ing but a bungler."

"I'll try to clean up things in good•hape," replied the robberl who hadtaken a seat on the edge of a chairand was twirling his bat.

"Our supper was over three hoursago, but I can bring you a glass ofiBllk and a piece of pie, I will leavethe door open so that you can see allthe time. Yonil feel better for some-thing to eat. The robber I spoke ofdrank a whole pitcher of sour milk,when there were two pans of tweet onthe buttery shelves before him. H©must have been a very awkward fel-low."

The robber nodded his head, and thewoman fetched him a generous pieceof pumpkin pie and ft Iflrge glass Ofmilk and maternally observed:

•'Just make yourself right at faoffii-while you eat and drink. Did I under-stand you to say you were a married

b*n to know that thn ar§ miw+jr* In ahurry, but I thoaght you mltfht Uk»time to an»wor a f«w qUMttooa JvAtbe Mm«. You most remember that Inever had a chance to talk to a robberbefore."

"Well, then. I couldn't make moneyat anything PISM, nod «o I turned rob-ber."

"Oh, I tee. Well, I'm paytng myhlrad man fie a month and board, battie complains that ft la out enough. H*may turn robber any day. If he don Idon't beU«v« be will make any greit•tteceM at ft, as he is too ilow. Theonly Him, be ever hustles ii wb«n be iswishing up for dlaaer. I have b«nwondering if you wouldn't fldvise no«aboat a certain matter,"

"Madam, do you understand why 1am here?"

"Yw, to rob mo,""Then hand me over what you can

lay handi on, I can't Bit hero gabbingHko an old v/oman,"

"But tbwp's loti of time," *b« pro-tested. •'fou'U be clear to Bpoonera-villo before any one knows I've beenrobbed. What I wanted to ask youabout 1> this*. I've boon a widow forsix years, I've had tbrw offers tomarry again. The taut one is fromDeacon Warner, and VVQ been consider-ing it. He's a pretty good mnn, I gueathbut he's got ways about him and threechildren to boot He wants everybodyIn the bouse to go to bed at 8 o'clockand get up at 5. Be wants fried porkevery morning for breakfast awl friedmush every night for supper. He boytthe cheapest kind of molasses, and besayi that paper window curtains oughtto last t«n years. Don't you thinkmoat any wife would squabble withhim about these things?"

"I rows they would," replied the rob.Ver as something like a grin crossedhis face,

"And his three children—they'd makeit warm for we. Tbu oldest Is a girlof sixteen, and I've heard she'i readyto throw tin pans at my head as soonas I rtep Into the honse. You can neverbe a stepmother, but you con imftflTOwhat the situation might be, Whatwould you do about getting marriedagain If you were me? Some advfiwme one way and some another^ and Idon't know exactly what to do,"

"I think you*d be a fool to do it, and.now I want to get through here and.get away. You don't seem to rememberthat I'm tore to rob the house."

"Ym\ 1 remember you said §omethtngabout it," oareteasly observed the wid-ow, "but I wtah you had Q little moritime to spare. Is it newMary that jmbe at iome certain place at a certainminute? I wanted to talk with yon aminute abottt my hired girt, Her nameis Sarah Jackson, She's a good girl, butromantic,"

"Haog it, woman i I'm here to robfexclaimed the robber as he rose up,

"Well, you can tell me about Sarahfirst, can't you? And the hired man*-where are you going?"

"I'm going to leave.""But you haven't robbed the hotiaa

yet, and I wanted to flsk youAnd out he walked and left the

ow wondering if that was the way ofall robbers or if he hadn't met withsome great misfortune to make himcrabbed and cranky.

INDIANS AVO TROLLEY OARS.

Insatiable Cufiomity Canned a £0110MAmt of Cmaitaltlea,

When the trolley system was Inttall-td in Mexico City the native Indians,apart from their wonderment as towhat unseen force propelled the ears,were anxious to test the new power.They began by trying to stop the carwith their hands, and later with theirheads and bodies, until the list of cas-ualties became great

Then a brilliant idea struck them.They had often been to bullfights andat certain of these had watched a pe-culiar opening ceremony which origi-nated in Mexico and later was intro-duced Into Spain. Before the bull Isset loose in the arena a man clothed inwhite from head to foot poses as a•tatue In the center of the ring. Hisface and hair are whitened, and heitands without a movement or a flutterOf clothing or anything that wouldtend to show that he la alive.

When the bull Is released he firstsniffs the air and makes a mad rushfor the pedestal. Getting quite closehe stops nnd snorts, gazing at the fig-ore. Seeing no movement, he gradual-ly retires backward in amazement. Hisattention is then attracted by others,and the man escapes.

The Indians decided to try this onthe cars. Dressing themselves in whit©and putting flour on their faeea andhair they would stand motionless In themiddle of the car tracks facing thecoming monster.

There were many ambulance callsbefore they learned the difference be-tweena bull and a trolley ear.--^ ""*"

The fundamental principle of all business is to make a profit.The sound and successful business is the one that can keep down its expenses, and thereby be enabled

to sell on smaller profit than competitors.It has been repeatedly demonstrated that there is not enough piano.business in this vicinity to warrant

an exclusive piano wareroom.Those who tried it are among the lost and missing.Not so with Btorck of Course, because at Storck'a enough side Hnes are carried to pay about all the

running expenses.More Bicycles are sold at Stoick's every year than are usually sold by 12 dealers, showing a healthy

and prosperous business in itself, saying nothing about the other lines of goods sold at this model store.It is owing to these facts that you can buy good goods here at such prices and on such small profits,

that competitors almost raise their hands iu horror.Ho ONE can undersell Storek's goods unless cheap goods are brought in competition with the good

goods sold at

STORCK'S, of course.P. S.— Call at the corner of Broad and White Streets and let Aunt Jane demonstrate to you that

nothing succeeds like success.
