HughesAgainst The Standard Fire I itHuaance Company which was being tried as we went to press last week, was much the same in character as tho case of Miss Kuhl, previously tried. Mrs. IItight's iH a sister to Miss Kuhl and lives part of tin* year %itl» her. She has had her personal property stored in the house which was burned, and had them insured in TheStaudard Fire Insurance Company. The Jury after listening to the case went out on Wednesday, and after remaining out until Thursday afternoon returned un aide to agree, standing li to 1. The next case, No. 2 on the Circuit List, Maggie Noonan against Nornh Purtel, was for slander. The plaintifT claimed that defendant had, in October hSJ)7, made slanderous statements, say ing that she kept a disorderly house in the city of Lambert villa, where both tin* plaintiff and defendant live. While the plaint ill' sued for $1,000damages to her injured character by such vile mid slanderous reports claimed to have been circulated by the defendant, yet the Jury seemed to measure the in jury with an exceedingly lillipiitiaii yard stick, returning with a verdict of &10 damage. The jurymen not on cases on Wed nesday were discharge until Tuesday Oet. 11, when tho indictmcniw will he tried. On Tuesday tho Oratid Jury pre sented 18 indictments to the Court and were discharged. Monday the Court listened to a mini her of indicted persons who were eon fined in the county jail awaiting the result of tho grand impiest. Those who plead arn as follows. James Wil liamson, colored, of Plcmingtnn, for assaulting William Horry and also for assaulting Edward Oroisamer, plead non vult to both indictments and was sentenced to to six months’ imprison ment in the State Prison. Edward Hrooks, petty larceny, by stealing brooms from grocorymun (leo. Webster, of Flemington, plead guilty, and was sentenced to ten days in the county jail. 1 liter II. Duckworth, for breaking and entering the house of J. II. Hrown, and another indictment for attempt to break jail. Plea, not guilty. Charles Hartman, for assaulting a officer. Plea not guilty. Ayers Morgan, for tho larceny of 32 pounds of brass. Plea not guilty. Samuel H. Opdyko for assault on George W. Opydko. Plea not guilty. Charles Crogar, selling lhpior with out a license in tho Horongh of High bridge. Plea, not guilty. John Spencer, Jr., for assault and battery on Wm. T. Leonard. Plea not guilty. Ellen Hurley, for giving Paris green to her baby sister. The prosecutor withdrew the charge. Lyman b. Cramer, for stealing chick ens. Plea, not guilty. The indictment against the Clarkson sisters for keeping a disorderly house will probably not stand, as the papers were not signed by the foreman of the Grand Jury according to law, and tho Conrt is inclined to believe that as tho Grand Jury has been dis charged, he cannot now sign the papers. A hearty appetite does not always indicate a healthy condition. It is not the quantity of food which is eaten hut the quantity which is assimilated, which determines the actual value of the food consumed. If the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition cannot con vert the food into nourishment, and into blood, then the fond is an injury instead of a benefit. For all disorders of the stomach and its allied organs of digestion and nutrition, there is a certain remedy in Dr Fierce’s Gold en Medical Discovery. It removes clogging obstructions. It strengthens the stomach, nourishes the nerves, enriches the blood and builds up the body. It is a flesh-forming, muscle making preparation, making linn flesh instead of flabby fat. “ Golden Medical Dis covery” contains no alcohol, whisky or in toxicant of any kind, and is equally free from ! opium, cocaine ami all narcotics.

An address by Miss Lnnden on “The Hope of the Future,” set forth the need of work union" children and young people. “Things We Ought to Know,” by M is. I toil rue, urged upon the members of unions to familiarize themselves with all phases of the work. After report of committee on resolu tions, prayer was otter ml by Mr. Knox, and meeting adjourned. Kvcniug session opened with devo tional meeting led by Mr. Knox, fol lowed by a duet by Misses Dietz and Hoff, entitled, “Can a Hoy Forget His Mother.” An address by Miss Lunder, subject, “Imperialism,” was the feature of the evening, the and ienee remaining spell bound during the whole of the discourse. Many facts were presented, union" them the grout opposition rulers of some ua lions had shown against the bringing of intoxicants in their domain, and that the shame of these United States was the traffic in this business with other countries, to their eternal ruin, for our gain, in dollars and cents. Also, that notwithstanding all the rulers and crowned heads in the world to day, alcohol reigns supreme. Little Miss Lyons sang to us the at litude of the birds on the drink ipies tion in “Temperance Hoholink.” In the address of Mrs. Hoiirno on “Tom perance Lights and Shadows,” the indifference of the people to this greatest of all <|ucstions was shown to be a darker shadow than all the saloons, and that (bid’s overruling guidance and Providence was the great light to which we could turn under all shadows and discourage ments. A solo by Kev. Mr. Saylor was fol lowed by five minute talks by Levs, licit/, Saylor and Knox, on “The Itoyal Keign of the Devil of Intem perance,” and the great company of women organized to subdue that mon ster monarch.

Owing to circumstances over which wc have ih> control, our First Ward letter this week to Thk Ukcohi* will bo much condensed, but will endeavor to have something for the next issue that may interest the many renders of Tiik Lkooiu>. The Lambert villi' Lubber Company has boon partially shut down the past week owing to a broken shaft. The Centennial paper mill is now making paper and no doubt will be run at its full capacity. brother Lucas declined to partici pate in the Curbstone Club debate owing to the First Ward correspond out being present. Pretty nearly all the girls who are employed at the Lambertville Lubber Company's works have been idle this week, and as there are about fifty of them, they could have been seen upon the streets in little groups of three, four and live, having what seems to be a real good time. As this stop only extended from day to day, hardly any of them left the town, as they were expecting to be sent for every morn ing. Now if this stop had happened while the big Interstate Fair was on at Trenton, all those w ho were thus thrown out of work might have en joyed the festivities. Home of the boys have been putting in the time to good advantage ilshing and gunning. "I came from a family of deep thinkers,’’ said one of our First Ward politicians. “We don’t content our selves with scratchin’ in the surface like an old duckin’ hen in the garden, but dig away down to the bottom, where few people dare follow, and bring up hidden truths from the very bowels of history. My grandfather was a thinker, too; dug away under the crust and only came up to the sur face to breathe. <1 rand fat her was a very remarkable man in his day. lie was a Lopubliean and a Methodist; its our family church and our family politics. That’s the reason wo are rich, deep and logical thinkers. The young generation began where the old left oil’ and continues right on diggin’ under the history of things and storing their minds full of truth and logic and w isdom from youth up.” Among tho many ivltriictivo ex hibits ul tho liitcr-Htnto til Trenton this wook will ho u lolling palace nil* containing u wonderful exhibit from MmiiIn and tho lMiilippiuoH, filled with produotH of this mnv U.
