An act was passed by the Legisla ture last winter authorizing super visors in the townships in this state to erect suitable buildings In which to hold elections, store road machinery, and transact township business. They may borrow money and issue bonds therefor, but may not Incur an indebtedness exceeding one-half of one per cent, the as sessed value of real estate in the township. They may procure a lot, and collect an annual tax to pay for the erection of the building thoreon The act also provides that on the request of any landowner on a high way, they shall locate a sidewalk along his lands on each side of the highway, which sidewalk the land owner shall pay for and keep in re pair. Now if our river . road could be opened to its proper width and a sidewalk established along it with a row of trees, would it not be a fine walk and of great attraction to the country. ' A SUICIDE. The supposed suicide of A. Laden burg, who was missed from the Ward Line Steamer Niagara on it passage from Nassau to New York, Feb. 20, is a striking comment on the possible resultant effect of want of home life. He was a rich banker, lived in magnificent style, had every apparent accessory to happiness which wealth can purchase, and yet was miserable with all these sur roundings. His wife, a "society woman," young, beautiful, but wholly engrossed in the round of balls, dinners, receptions and fads which go to make up what is called fashionable society, devoted her whole time and energy in participat ing in these exacting amusements,to the utter neglect of her domestic life, and the happiness of her hus band and famiiy. He was sur rounded with a luxurious and gilded life which was like the apples of So dom.and to end it all he took the fatal plung e. THE RAINES BILL. The Democrats of New York are fighting what is known as the Raines bill, introduced in the Legis lature, to regulate the sale of in toxicating liquors. The bill is some what similar in character, although not so complete, as the Brooks' high licence law in this state, which has proved such a success in taking the liouor trafilo awd saloon business out of politics. It is not at all sur- prising that the New York Demo crats should oppose thin reform niMMura, for the groat strength of that party In New York city Hob In the saloon. In thin state the Repub licans assumed the responsibility of enacting the Brooks' law, and they have boon fully supported by public opinion. The Republicans of New York need have no fears that In supporting a measure which will promote morality and temperance they will loose favor with their constituents. THE PRIZE FIGHT. Fitmimmons and Maher about whom so much has been written in the past month finally met Feb. 21, in Mexico Just across the river from Langtry,Texas,and had their "mill " Maher was in It for less than a minute, and then like the gentleman of whom Mr. Twain writes, the sub sequent proceedings interested him no more, he waa completely knocked out. This ought to end prize fighting on this western continent. When the bruisers begin to talk fight or send a ihallenge, they should be promptly arrested and put to breaking stone and kept at it until their ardor has cooled,and they have earned enough money by honest labor to take a va cation abroad. A NEW SUIT. The Easton Free Press s porta a new suit. William BetuHiman or that city has brought suit for libel against the Free Press for publish ing an editorial article headed " The Snake in the Grass." Bail was fixed at 1500 which was given. From the recollection of people here the title to the article la very misleading. It should have boon 'A Porpoise In the Grass." We no longer hear the free-trader glibly asserting that the importa. tion of European manufactures will benefit the American farmer by in creasing the demand for his pro ducts, and thus raising the price on them. Nor do we hear him assur ing the American workman that the decrease of his wages will be more than compensated by the cheapness of what his wages purchase. Nor do we hoar him telling the Amori can manufacturer that what he loses in the home market will be made up for by opening ' the markets of the world." All these fictions have crumbled under touch of the harsh finger of experience, Exchange. Oh, yes, they still talk that nou sense but the beauty of it is that no body listens or believes them.

Nlool'a story. I gave aa amphatlo denial of the state ment that 1 waa not dismissed. Colonel Nlool, 1 told them, wanted me to go to London for a court of Inquiry. This prao tloally meant a court martial. I bad dona nothing to be court martlaled for and In dignantly and emphatically refused. Tha aoene then followed In wbloh my brother BALUKOT05 BOOTH. MRS. BOOTH. Herbert produced tha brief from the chief of staff, Bramwell Booth, empowering tne commissioner to dismiss me. He step ped back and said, 'I demand your keys, portfolios and offices at once.' I was thunderstrnok. It took me whol ly by surprise. I had not anticipated It at all. 1 could pot understand why my younger brother bad been given authority over me. No Desire For Controversy. It was farthest from our Intention to enter Into any controversy regarding our action, but oertaln erroneous statements having been made publlo It Is only right and just, both to the movement and to ourselves, to submit a correction. First Colonel Nlool states, 'It Is on true, as reputed, that Commander Her bert Booth peremptorily demanded that his brother hand over the keys and proper ty of the army. ' "The best denial to this Is the following quotation, which we wrote down from the final episode In the discussion on Thurs day last. After having said we should only have Sunday to say farewell, and they had Inquired about the property and found It could be arranged at short notice, the oommnndant finally said: 1 'There are two propositions which I am em (lowered to plaoe before you. First, that you withdraw your letter to London.' "We replied, 'No, we will not.' "'That you go to England on Satur day.' "We replied. No, exoept upon our con ditions.' " 'Very well,' continued Commandant Herbert, With emphasis. 'In that oase all I have to say Is I demand that you hand over your keys and portfolios by 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. ' "I replied, ' Ws shall require to have the authority of the ohlef of staff (referring to London headquarters). " 'That yon ean have before 10 o dock. because 1 am empowered to give you the alternative.' 'I replied. 'Then yon shall have the keys and the offices by AO o'clock tomor- r.' 'We at onoe rose, but neither the oom- mandant, Commissioner Eva nor Colonel Nlool demurred at the decision, and the only other words exobanged were 'Good lght.' As to tha Dismissal. "Did Dot sllenoe give ooosentf "Second. Colonel Nlool further states: " 'It Is equally untrue that he ever dis missed Commander Balllngton Booth. Neither Commandant Herbert Booth nor any other officer possessed suoh power. That power Is alone vested In the general.' "We have always understood that tha power of dismissal of territorial offloen Is Tested In the general. But the command ant led us to believe that he and the other representatives bad oomtt fully authorised and said they were backed with a deflnlfei brief from London. Colonel Nlool aald to us directly after seeing Commissioner Kva that 'we must be prepared lor tne worst. "Third. After leaving onr keye upon our respective desks and vacating head quarters Friday morning at 8 o'eloek we retired for oonsultatlon, which resulted later In the day In our expressing by ca blegram to London that we bad received our dismissal from the bands of tha oom mandant, and that any further negotia tions bad closed. "Fourth. After the above deplorable eireumstancee I hereby declare, on Mrs. booth's and my own behalf, that we oan- not under any conditions whatsoever ao- oept proposals from London nor entel again under the authority or government of International Headquarters in cngiana, "Mrs. Booth and mrself bitterly regret that we have not even had tho opportunity of aaylng a loving farewell to our Imme diate staff and faithful officers to say nothing of the thousands we still dearly lova on this wide field." Commandant Herbert Booth telegraphs from Toronto a denial that any of the affairs of the Salvation army in the United States are under his control, or that be has taken bis brother's place In New Kork. I am, as hitherto," he says, "directing the affairs of the army In Canada, and at pres ent I am entirely Ignorant of my future appointment."

The Address of the rreiildwnt to the Vene snelan C-rtngreiia CARAOs, Feb. f?n. lie Frnnelsrn Caa- llllii, minister of the Interior, read to the Vennsiielnn congress the mwrnimol Presi dent Crespo. The cabinet Wns present, but the president did not attend the ses sion. The mrsasge began with a reference to Ihe revolution which began last Novem ber. It was a revolt without flag or mo tive, the executive deelnred. It was whol ly Inspired by the reckless and unlawful ambition of men eagsr for power nt any cost. It was checked only by the energy of the government, which had prepared for emergencies ot that nature. The chiefs of the rebellion had alt been apprehended, with the exception nf those who had fled to foreign countries, or thoee plotters who bad never been brave enough to venture within reach of the power of the republic Many had been released already. The message snld that In all times of disturbance, and especially In the face of foreign difficulty, the cltlsens of the coun try should vie with each other In their ex hibition of patriotism. The enrollment of the national guard had shown that Ven ezuela could count upon ah army of 800, 000 meri. While there waa not sufficient money In the national treasury to buy large cruisers the nation could appropriate funds for the purchase of rapid torpedo boats for the protection of the coast. The messsgs referred to the boundary dispute with Mreat Britain, with particu lar regard to the attitude of the United States. Gratitude, the president snld, was due to that country above all, for the rea son that It had Interfered and had beoome a powerful ally of Venezuela when It found that the Integrity of an American state was gravely menaced. Venezuela's rights would be peaoeahly maintained, tha president declared, If the advloe of the United States should be followed. This portion of the message concluded with the emphatlo declaration that Vene zuela's debt to the country of Washington could not be estimated and with distinct commendation for the part taken by Mr. Thomas, the United States minister. The president snld that the large sums due the English and German railway con structors would be guaranteed by the gov ernment. In regard to the Cuban question, Presi dent Crespo said that the struggle of the revolutionists In the Island had naturally roused the sympathies of all free Amerl can state. The demands ot the laws of neutrality would, however, prevent gov ernment aotlon. The relations of Venezuela with all South American republics, President Cres po said, were friendly. FITZ IS THE CHAMPION. The Australian Knock. Oat Peter Maher In One Brief Roand, Lanotry, Tex., Feb. 89. Bob Flts slmmons Is now the champion heavy weight pugilist as well asohamplnn In the middle weight clnss. He earned this title by his defeat of Peter Maher. The victory of the Americanized Australian stamps Fltzslmmon as the greatest of the latter day prizefighters. His superiority in agili ty and ring generalship was fully demon strated. These qualities won him the fight. Maher'a friends all along olalmed he would show a great Improvement over the form displayed when he met Fltzslmmont before, and the result was a grent disap pointment to them. The following Is the story of the fight in detail: Fits led with his loft. Maher backed toward his oorner. Fits landed with his right, and a clinch followed. Maher atrnok Fits with his right hand while they were ellnched, and Referee Slier warned him that If be did It again be would give Fits CHAMPION fTTZBIMMONi. the light. After a breakaway Peter land ed his left on Flts'e neck. Close Infight ing followed, and Maher suooeeded In landing his left on Fits' upper Up, draw ing blood. Fltxlmmon landed with lert and right. A clinch followed. Maher feinted, and Fltzslmmone led with bis right, but fell short. A mix np followed. In which Ma ker landed both right and left on either aid of Flts's head. Maher led with hia left, and another cllnoh followed. Fits eemed a bit bothered and broke ground, but at one landed on Maher'a nose. Maher followed him up and led with his left, when Fltz stepped aside, and, swing ing bis right, landed full on the point of Mailer's ohln. Maher measured hie length oa the floor, bis head striking the oanvaa with great fore. He vainly attempted to rise, but could do no more than lift bis head. His second called on him to get up, but be tailed to respond and fell back to the can vas. Referee Slier oounted off th seconds, and Maher mad a gallant effort to rlee, but after getting bait way to a recumbent position be fell back. On by on th referee ominously told off the ten seconds, while Maber vainly tried to rise, The fatal tenth second waa oounted. Maher waa declared out and Fltzalm- mona announced the vlotor after 1 min ute and 86 seconds of rather lively fight ing. It was several minutes before he realised What had happened to him, and Flu walked over to his corner and shook him by tha band. Fits also shook hands with Qulnn and the seoonds In Peter's corner. Barring the slight bleeding of the nos trils, occasioned by the left hand lab of Maher, the Cornlsb man showed no marks of Injury and appeared as freeb as at the opening of hostilities. Maher showed no signs of punishment, exoept a slight break In the skin over his jaw, just above the point of the left chin, where Fitzalmmons1 master stroke had landed. The Jfew Jersey Legislature.

JIM THEIR IDOL. THE TRANSVAAL RAIDER CHEERED ON HI9 ARRAIGNMENT IN COURT. Formally rharged With Warring Agslaet a friendly State The Trial Adjonmed. rrlannrrs ftelenaed on Their Own Re engnltanre In Slo.ooo Hall. !,ONnov, Feb 86. It was probably not t.lthont rinnign thnt the appearance of Dr. aninson for arraignment In the How street police court was delayed all through he day. There wns a disposition of hilari ty manifest In the locality of th court from an early hour, and It was evident that there was a set purpose pervading ths ixuuion masses to give Dr. Jim an ova tion. The British authorities desire as far as possible to give no appearance of encour aging such a demonstration of approval of citizen who haa been banded over to them by a power agninst which he sought to wage wnr In the faith that Great Brit ain will see justice done to him and will properly avenge the outrage done to friendly power. But the British government la well aware that, though Dr. Jameson Is brought to Kngland fur trial a a criminal, he Is In the popular eye a hero, and his raid Into the Transvaal, far from being viewed as a piratical enterprise, is looked npon aa a chivalrous and knightly adventure to euo oor hard pressed friends and fellow coun trymen. It was for this reason thnt tha crowd about Bow at roe t nolle court were kept waiting and everything possible done to make mystery of th movements of Dr. Jameson. It was hoped the ardor of hie admirers would be oooled by the long wait, and thnt the noisy mub waiting to cheer him would grow weary and depart. But all this strategy was without avail. Tho people Insisted upon waiting. The faith of the crowd that they had not been waiting In vain was qulcksned by the arrival at Bow street polios court of a party of arlstocratlo friends of Dr. Jameson. Among these wsre th Duke of Aberoorn, Viscount Cheleea, the Karl of Arlington, Colonel Btraoey, private secre tary to the Marquis of Salisbury; several colonial omoe otltolnls, Mr. Charles K. Wards, M. P., and many other people of not. Many of these were ehown to promi nent plaoe In the courtroom, wbloh was thus made to present an animated aoene during the period of the still further walk. Brought Up the Thamee oa a Tag, Asa matter of fact It was quite late In the day before Dr. Jameson waa landed at all. He was brought on a tug to Frltb, on the Thames, and waa conducted by a roundabout and obscure route to Bow street police court. The authorities thus succeeded in evad ing any very noisy demonstration on the part of the waiting crowds outside, aa they were scarcely aware that the prisoner was among them before he had disappear ed Into the courtroom. But his entrance to the courtroom was the signal for a remarkable scene. Rvl dently every one In the courtroom was of one mind In sympathizing with blin. All were his friends, and all arose and uncov ered upon his appearance, giving blm hearty cheers. It waa in vnln that th court offioers sought to quell the demon stration. The effort to do so seemed little more than cursory, Ths charge against Dr. Jameson and 14 of his fellow prisoners was then declared to be "warring agninst a friendly state." After the charge had been read Mr. Henry Matthews, Q. C, who was home secretary In the former Salisbury govern ment, announced that In view of the Im portanoe of the case, the law officers of the. crown would conduct the proseoutlon Formal evidence was then preeented a to the olrcumstanccs of the arrest. The lawyers who were In oourt on be half of the accused men asked that their personal recognizances be accepted for ball.- Sir John Bridge, the ohlef magistrate of the Bow street police court, from his plaoe on the bench aald that before deciding upon the bail he felt that be ought to ob serve that In his opinion a graver offense could not be ohnrged against men than thnt charged agninst the prisoner. It was a orlme of the highest possible gravl ty, the magistrate continued, and It must be so treated by every one when they con sider that the commission of such an offense might create a war between coun tries previously friendly. Tha circum stances of ths present oaee, he said, Were most peculiar. He felt satisfied that th prisoners would appear when wanted. He therefore accepted their personal recog nizances and fixed their ball at 8,000 each. Cautions ths Prlsoaers. Sir John Bridge then addressed the pris oners personally In a grave and serious vein.
