ANOTHER nail was driven into the Democratic party's coffin in New Jersey when Governor Werts and his newly appointed Lay Judges pardoned the "big four." If they had been poor, miserable devils instead of millionaire gamblers and Democratic leaders they would be breaking stone to-day on Snake Hill, in Hudson county, instead

of flaunting their flashy diamonds on the streets of Jersey City. It is highly creditable to Chancellor McGill and Judge Simms that they voted against the majority of the Court.

ON Tuesday, June 4th, the Legislature will re-assemble and what was anticipated as just a formal meeting for probably a day or two will likely extend into a session lasting several days, the Legislature having much important business to do. The investigating committee will furnish the work in the shape of legislation designed to correct the many abuses that have crept into the administration of State affairs and for the prevention of looseness in the future. Fortunately the Republicans are not handicapped by a narrow majority in either branch of the Legislature and the work will be done in a

thorough manner.

NWE JERSEY is now in the midst of an era of crime scarcely paralleled in

its history. While almost every conceivable crime is well represented in

the list, burglary and highway robbery seem to take the lead. There have been more of the latter crime in South Jersey within the last year than in the entire State the previous year, Cumberland, Camden and Gloucester counties in particular contributing a large share. In these counties it began in the form of burglary, gradually increasing in boldness until now the authorities are having to deal with highway robbery in broad daylight.

Ex-Senator Leaming Dead. Richard Smith Leaming died at his home in Dennisville, this county, at 6

o'clock Saturday morning from dropsy,

after an illness of four months. He

was born sixty-six years ago, in the same house in which he died, being a descendent through five generations of Christopher Leaming, who came from England in 1670, and settled near what

is now Cape May City.

Senator Leaming was recognized as the foremost and wealthiest citizen of Cape May county. At the age of 30 he embarked in ship-building, having launched twenty-one vessels, when he

retired from the business three years

ago. In early life a Jacksonian Democrat, he became a Republican during the war, and as such represented the county in the House of Assembly from 1870 to 1873, and in the Senate from 1874 to 1877. In 1888 he was a candidate for elector on the Harrison ticket, carrying Cape May county by the largest majority given an elector since 1840.

Run Down by a Train.

A man who said his name was William Wilde, and he lived with his wife and two children in West Philadelphia, was killed early Thursday morning by being struck by a freight engine on the Atlantic City Railroad at Pleasantville. The man was probably insane.

He had been around the town for a day or two, and had endeavored to enter several houses. He ordered the station agent of the West Jersey Railroad to leave his office the night previous. He became such a nuisance that the citi-

zens asked the Mayor to have him locked up, but the Mayor declined to act. County Physician Souder found that the man's skull had been crushed and both legs broken. While dying he talked incoherently, mentioning the name "Sallie." Wilde was a furniture broker.

THE GREAT STORM.

A terrible storm has been raging in middle New Jersey, having the centre

of its operations about the State House

at Trenton. For duration and the dis-

asters following in its train it is unexampled. Barney Ford and others saw the black clouds gathering and heard the mutterings of the distant thunder and sought a place of safety beyond its reach. Others who could not do so, used every possible device to

shelter and protect themselves from harm. When the storm burst it

brought disaster to several public men widely known, and toppled over the reputations of men high in party coun-

cils. One bolt struck the Treasurer's chief clerk, who farmed out the public money for his personal benefit, and laid him out. Another struck the Secretary of the Board of Arbitration, who sold to the State and took pay for 42,000 railroad maps and delivered 6,500, and laid him out.

Another bolt made a sad rent in the tombstone of a great party leader. In-

deed bolts have fallen so uncomfortably near many others that they live in perpetual fear, and wander about in a dazed sort of way wondering "where they are at." The Voorhees Senatorial investigating committee is doing noble work in unmasking thieves and robbers, and we doubt not this storm will purify the political atmosphere.

The Turnpike Controversy. "There is no truth in the rumor printed in the OCEAN CITY SENTINEL that the turnpike property had been sold to a New York Syndicate who were to establish an electric railroad to Atlantic City."

EDITOR SENTINEL:--I clip the above

item from the "Pleasantville Press," dated May 15. Now I want to say to

you that Lucas Lake & Sons have sold their interest in the turnpike to a company who expect to turn it into an

electric road next fall. I don't like Editor Jenness to make me out a falsi-

fier, as he seems to be trying to do. I write you this to tell you that what I wrote you was the truth. It is sold and what is still better, they have the money for it. Yours respectfully, L. S. H.

OUT OF JAIL AT LAST. At a special session of the Atlantic

County Court of Common Pleas, held at May's Landing, Monday, Daniel Walters, of Absecon, a well-known sea captain, who has been incarcerated in the county jail for six months, was released under the insolvent laws. Captain Walters was arrested at the instance of the Baker Salvage Company, to whim he had given four notes of

$1000 each for part purchase money of a vessel.

The License Question. At a meeting of the official Board of the Tuckahoe Methodist Episcopal Church, held on May 20, 1895, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, There has appeared in the public press a report of a so-called public gathering of the inhabitants of Tuckahoe and vicinity, in which there is an attack made upon the Rev. S. H. Hann, in the statement that accusations from the pulpit of the Methodist Episcopal Church of this place, accusing those who did not sign the remonstrance against granting license to John S. Albertson, as being in sympathy with vice, and Whereas, Three persons out of every four of those whose names appear as being in sympathy with said attack, seldom, if ever, attend the Methodist church, and Whereas, a number of them are known to be in sympathy with the saloon, some being avowed advocates of the same, eight of them being signers on Albertson's application for license at the recent term of court, and Whereas, an attack was made upon the Law and Order Society recently organized for the purpose of assisting to have the laws upon our statute books enforced, especially those relating to the liquor traffic, and Whereas, There are a number of persons who are members of the Christian church whose names appear as being in sympathy with those attacks, therefore, be it Resolved, 1st, That being regular attendants of the Methodist church, and upon the preaching of the pastor, we hereby rand the statement that he has ever said in the pulpit that those who did not sign the remonstrance were in sympathy with vice as being false. Resolved, 2d, That it is our judgment that said attack is being made and subscribed by so large a number of per-

sons who do not attend the church,

and consequently could have no per-

sonal knowledge in the case as being in bad taste, and reflects more upon those who made the attack than upon him who it was made.

Resolved, 3d, That in our judgment that these attacks being made by a number who were interested in having license in Tuckahoe, they but more loudly call upon all who believe in no license, to give their influence to effectually keep out this greatest enemy of the church and home, and emphasizes to all how strongly intrenched the saloon is, even in a Christian community. Resolved, 4th, That knowing the claim that is made by the advocates of license, that rum will be sold when there is no license, and knowing the object of the Law and Order Society to be to assist the proper officers of the law that such would not be the case in this community, we, therefore, deprecate the fact that any person who professes to have any regard for law and order should loan his influence to an attack upon said society. Resolved, 5th, That we especially express our regret that there are found among the signatures the names of those who profess to be Christians, and among them a number of members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and that we express our judgment that this fact will tend to minimize their influence as such, and that if the members of the Methodist Episcopal Church had any grievance against the pastor of the same, the better way would have been to have pursued a disciplinary plan, rather than to have joined with non-church goers in a declaration against him, and if they did not endorse the methods of the Law and Order Society, the better way would have been to join the society, and assisted to a nobler object and better methods, than to join with avowed advocates of license in their attacks against it. Resolved, 6th, That a copy of these resolutions, together with the signatures affixed, be forwarded for publication to the same papers in which the attacks were printed, so their readers may know the position of the Methodist Episcopal Church against the attack made upon its pastor, and the judgment of the official board of the same in its relation to the whole matter in question.

HOT WEATHER COTTONS.

Don't blame us for not showing all the Cotton Dress Stuffs

in one place--can't do it; there are too many. All the daisies do not bloom in one meadow. Take time to roam through the

aisles banked with every temptinget weave and printing that

the cotton goods makers have

conjured.

Hundreds of kinds. Thousands of styles.

Because you looked through last week, don't count yourself posted on to-day's doings. The

goods tumble in all the time--generally with a new price-win-someness just now.

Think of buying the daintiest Corded Ginghams ever made in America for 12½c. Just the sorts and styles we had to charge 25c for until five days ago; just the sorts marked 25c in the other stores' windows now. 32 inch. A hundred styles. Wish we had room for more than mere hints: At 5c--Dress Cheviots, but not 5c Cheviots for they'd be trashy. At 4c--New styles Dress Gingham; made to sell at 30c. At 7c--52 inch Creponettes; cost more to make. At 8c--11 inch Printed Lawns; ought to be 12½c to be profitable merchandise. At 10c--Printed Dimities, styles that crowd the Irish-made of course, cheaper; cheaper even than A merchant-made have been, and prettiest yet. At 12½c--32 inch Corded Gingham, five days ago sold at 25c. At 15c--32 inch Striped Cheviot that never before sold less than 15c. At 12½c--32 inch Woven Duck. At 10c--Corded Scotch Gingham; transported this assortment sold at 25c. At 15c--40 inch Printed Batiste; a new creation. At 15c--Lace and Corded Striped Ginghams; regular price 25c.
