MONDAY, JULY 2, 1900.
This paper is Democratic in principles
and is independent in its views on all local
questions.
“The News” and Mr. Bryan.
Mr. A. F. Lyons, whoever he may be,
^writes a letter to the Editor of the
^^Kearny "Record,” criticizing a recent
editorial in “The News” In which we
prophesied the election of McKinley and
Roosevelt. Mr. Lyons is temperate and
gentlemanly in his tone, and his difference
of opinion seems to be founded on some
thing more than vapor. He says that he
personally knows of ten persons, two Re
publicans and eight Democrats, including
himself, who voted for McKinley four i
years ago, and who will not do so this ;
year. He knows no case of change in the j
opposite direction.
This is a significant fact, taken for what
it is worth. If the average held good, it
might indicate that the election would be
in doubt. But our own observation and
Inquiries all point the other way. We
neither know nor can hear1 of any voters
who formerly opposed'Bryan and who now
intend to support him. On the contrary, ;
we hear of many persons who voted for :
j|Bwg four years ago, and Who will not do so
Further, we do not know of any Demo
I^B’ats of prominence who seriously think
^Br. Bryan is going to be elected. In this
^Btate and in New York, it would seem to
Bus that every leader, whose head is not
inflated with gas, in his soul knows that
Bryan is a hopeless proposition. Many
of the shrewdest men in both States make
no scruple of saying this in private, and
it must be noticeable to all that none of
them are doing any very great amount of
ublic talking.
e reason why "The News" speaks out
isv is because it is honest. There Is no
In doing the ostrich act. We believe
r. Bryan, ought not be elected. He
s a peTriicious crank, and the men asso
ciated with him are incendiaries and revo
lutionists. We believe the vast majority
of the people of both parties think as we
k do. We believe that almost any other
Democrat, nominated on a half-way sane
platform, would be sure of election. But
we repeat our previous opinion that no
man can be elected on the Chicago plat
form and Bryan cannot be elected on any
iatform. We believe an election on either
sis would mean National ruin and
09.
t us not be blind. Let us face the
ituation as it is.

READY FOR DISTRIBUTION
Will Be Printed in a Few
Days — Growth of
Departments.
After all, It looks as though the Wom
an’s Club Calendar for 1900-1901 would be
ready for distribution among the three
hundred odd members before fall,
though, as so many of the club women
are already away, It Is not likely they
will be distributed. The committee
chosen to assist the president, Mrs. A.
J. Newbury, however, has worked hard
and the fault of delay is with the de

in sending in programmes and names

ed.
At any rate the calendar will be' In
the hands of members at a much earlier
date than its predecessor, and complete
In form. Of course as in the case of

silver cards. It will contain first the
calendar of dates arranged for each

TERESNIC’S TRIAL
Prosecution Intends Show
ing That the Boy Struck
More Than Onqe.
DEFENCE litL TRY INSANITY
Witnesses Tell How Captain
j Biddlecuzn Was Mur*
/ \ dered.
The trial, of Casper Terlsnic, seventeen
years old, for the murder of Captain
Willard Biddlecum, of the canal boat Ivy,
in this city last April, was begun this
morning in the Court of Oyer and Ter
miner before Mr. Justice Lipplncott and
Judge Blair. The young prisoner was
brought into court by Constable O'Brien.
He looks youthful and has not unpleasant
features. His brow is low and his hair,
which he wears banged, almost touches
his eyebrows. He was neatly dressed In
dark clothes and wore a very high collar
with a wide expense of light blue polka
dot tie.
There was a consultation in the Judges
chamber previous to the trial between
the judges, Prosecutor Erwin and How
ard McSherry and William H. Rees. Mr.
McSherry offered to plead guilty to mur
der in the' second degree, but Mr. Erwin
refused to accept the plea and the trial
went on.
It did not take long to get a Jury.
Forty-eight talesmen had been struck off
and from these twelve were selected. The
defense interposed four challenges. The
first created a little breeze. William
Ennis was called and when he was told
to lok upon the prisoner he pointed in
Terisic's direction and said in off hand
way:—"This one over here In the corner.”
"Challenged,” exclaimed Mr. McSherry
in disgust and Mr. Ennis stepped aside.
The other men challenged were:—William
Rabbadeaux, Joseph H. Anderson and
Charles Edwards. The jury as finally
selected is composed of:—Wm. M. Oberg
fell, foreman; Chas. H. Focht; Walter
Laffey, Charles E. Annett, Gustav W.
Van Dusen, Edwin Cadmus, Williard
Teddy, the kite flyer of Bayonne; Thomas
M. O'Brien, John A. Edmonds, Andrew R.
Roberts, Edward Whitney, William M.
Coleman.
The Jury being sworn Mr. Erwin opened
the case for the State. He began by
speaking of the seriousness of the crime
and called attention to its importance
both to the State and the defendant. Then
he briefly related the details of the crime.
On April US the canalboat Ivy, loaded with
coal, left South Amboy, and on the next
day arrived at the Morris Canal basin,
this city. Captain Willard Biddlecum
was in charge of the boat and he had
with him the defendant, whom he had en
gaged to assist him. On the next day the
boat was tied up at the Packer wharf, one
Ot the Lehigh Valley piers. The next day
was Easter Sunday and both Biddlecum
and Terlsnic were both seen on the boat
that day. After that they were not Been
about the boat. On April 19 the attention
of Christian Blckel, the harbor master of
the basin, was called to the Ivy. It ap
peared to be deserted and settling in the
water. He went aboard the Ivy and
found some water fn the hold. No one
was on board and the cabin was locked
up. Bickel drew back the sliding shutter
of the cabin window and looked In. He
saw the old man lying on his bunk dead.
The alarm was given and the police found
that the old man’s skull had been crushed
in. They found on the cabin floor a
double-edged axe which was smeared with
hair and blood. The boy Teresnick was
not to be found.
The police went to work and located the
defendant at his home in Winfield, L. I.
He was arrested and taken to the Seventy
seventh street station, New York, where
he confessed that he killed the old man.
He said that he slept in the after cabin
and the Captain slept In another cabin
Just forward. When the Captain was
asleep the boy took the axe, which was
In the cabin he slept in, and going for
ward struck the old man over the right
temple with the weapon.
‘He says he ony struck him once,” con
tinued Mr. Erwin, "but we will show that
the old man was struck more than once.”
(Mr. Erwin then told how Teresnick took
the Captain’s trousers from: under his
crushed head and took therefrom *28 in
bills, forty-six cents in change and the
Captain’s knife. Then he went to his
home and gave a portion of the money
to his father. The next day his father
took him to a clothing store and lmueht
him a suit'of clothes withth^fl^Bj^il
money whichh^^^^^^gljsll8||als
MEEKER’S REPORT.
Assemblyman Will Tell the
Governor What He Thinks
of Mrs. Eyler.
Assemblyman pifts R. Meeker, ofj
Elizabeth and a member of the special
legislative committee that Investigated,
the State House for Girls, has all along
been a believer ^n the innocence of Mrs.
Myrtle E. Eyler,' and there was some sur
prise when the report of the committee
was handed to the Governor last week,
and it was announced that Mr. Meeker
favored it.
He has relieved the situation some
what by giving to the press the follow
ing statement:—
‘/I will make a report soon and I am
mighty glad I did not sign the majority
report. While I don’t wish to criticise
the action of my colleagues on the com
mittee in this matter, still there is
another side to the question which should
be given publicity. My report will be
made in the form of a letter to Gov
ernor Voorhees, embodying my views on
the subject and he can do with this com
munication as he sees fit. Beyond this
I have nothing more to say for publica
tion, further than to state that I have
given a great deal of my time In in
vestigating the charges against the
school, and am prepared to stand by
whatever I may communicate to the
Governor on the matter.”
DEMOCRATS .JN THE EIGHTH.
Extensive alterations are being made on
the quarters of the Eighth Ward Demo
