For the first time since the close of the rebellion the State of New Jersey is now absolutely under Republican rule. The final consummation of this fact occured yesterday when Hon. John W. Griggs was formally installed as . Goueruor. The signiliance of the political eman- cipation. Of NewJersey should act be misappréhended. That achievement is more than a partisan triumph. It is more than a victory for protection and sound money principles, although such consideration entered into the result. The overthrow in that State is a distinct triumph for decent citizenship. It is the outcome of the revolt of the intelli- gent and self-respecting voters of New Jersey _ against “jockey” legislation, ring domination and every form otpole itical debauchery and crime. L-.__‘+P.._ ..... Some Cheering Facts. The industrial development- ol the South is the most important feature of the post-bellum history of this country. It attracts the attention and excites the admiration of all thoughtful persons. It is the theme of unlimited discussion inJhe reviews, magazines, trade jour- nals and the daily press, and the solid groundwork of public speeches by political and social economists. As was to have been explacted, it has been thoroughly studied by Mr. Carrol D. Wright, United States Labor Com- missioner, and some of the results of his investigation Were given to the public in an address which hedcliycrcd before the Li‘beralI‘Club,‘ of Bufl'alo. ' llos‘uows that the phenomenal indus- trial advance had not been limited to one or a few lines, but was apparent in many directions. The production of cotton in the South, Mr. Wright stiles, ,- 1‘..- doublc what it was before the War; " "L "in twenty years the manufacture of pig fjiron has increased 1,000 per cent., the railroad mileage is 150 per cent. greater now than in 1880 and the passenger traffic 500 per cent. greater, and the freight tons moved nearly 400 per cent. large'. He says that since 1880 the Southern railroads have more than doubled their earnings, the banking capital has increased in like proportion, 7‘ . and the money spent in the support of schools has also beengdoubled. .. As to the mineral resources of the South, they are almost beyond compu- ticu. One strip of territory stretching from Pennsylvania to Alabama is esti- mated by Mr. Wright and various other good‘ authorities to contain “forty times the amount of caul acces- sible to economical production and dis- tribution that was contained in the coal fields of of Great Britain before a pick was struck ” The best'cottou lands on the globe and abundant water power are other features of the grand total. . Of the influence of this development on the North and On the whole country, M r. Wrig ht says that, as the productive power of the Southern States increases and comesnearer to that of the North- ern workers, the consumption of the - products of the Northern mills and es- tiblishments increases proportionately and comparatively in a greater degree than the relative increase of products 4 in theSOuth, and as the consuming power of the common labOrer in the Southern States is enhanced the pro. ducts of all parts o'f the country trill find a readier market. - .i» ———.—¢~O Ir---'- A Ripe Old Age. 1101.309; Staples, the founder of the high school in weapon, will be 94. years old Thursday, January 31, and l the anniversary will be observed in an appropriate manner.

An Enthusiastic Audience Present. A large and :cnthusiastic audience assembled at the Y. \I. C. A. rooms last evening to witness basket ball con- tests between the A and 13- teams of Norwalk and Stamford. The visiting teams were accompanied by several of their lady and gentlemen friends. who watched for the outcome of the games with marked interest, and applauded good-plays of all of the con- - tcutouts. The games were closely contested. In the first half of the A game one or two of the Stamford players were a‘little rougher in their play than seemed to be necessary, and the the referee warned them, after which the playing contin. ued without any disagreements of a. serious nature. ~ The Norwalk A team was composed . of W. H. Half and J. 11-. Jackson, for» wards; Frank Webber, center; Frank Smith and Robert Mullins guards. The Stamford players were, James Fawcett 8nd E. G. Peckham, forwards; W. A. Ferris center ; W. D. Daisley and W. Roberts, guards. The first half of the game resulted in a score of 6 to 2 in favor of Stamford. The next half was won bv Norwalk, the score being 4 to 2. Tue Norwalk team lost the game by a total score of 8 to 0. Naturally, the Stamford team was enthusmstically applauded by their friends joinedby the plaudits of the Norwalk “routers” present. The B. teams then took the floor, and lined up as follows: . Norwalk: A. Ghilto and W. Bausch, forwards; Ira Lockwood, center; Eel- ward Brotherton and Richard Heu- drickson, guards. . Stamford: -C. Swanson, M. Mix, H. F. Ley, W. F. Gillespie and F. Morse. The first half of this game resulted in a tie of 1 to 1. In the second half the Score was 2 to 0 in favor of the Nor- walk, the latter team winning by a score of 3 to 1. The result being announced both teams were applauded to the echo. ER. Kingsley (3f Stamford acted as referee and gave excellent satisfaction to all interested. _ The ball games were followed by an exhibition of double and triple parallel bar work, by W. A. Ferris, E. G. Peck- ham and Wilbur Roberts, that was equal to that of professionals and re« ceived, as it deserved, the applause of every one present. It was a most pleasing feature of the evening’s enter- tainment. Refreshments were served after which an adjournment was taken to the parlors of the association where a mus~ ical feast was enjoyed. It was called an Impromptu concert. Miss Demarest of Stamford, presided at the _ piano, and Miss Miller of the same city sang, in a charming manner, tWO solos; W. St. John also sang a solo, E. B. Kingsley played two cornet solos, and there was music by a quartette composed of Miss Miller, W. St. John, Will Leland and Mr. Travers. The concert continued until shortly after 12 o’clock when the visitors took a car and were whirled to ,South Nor- walk where they boarded the 12:55 train for home, with, ‘it is believed, happy recollections of their visit. ——000 An Excellent Entertainment. The return engagement of the Noss Jollity company at the Opera House, last night, gave eminent satisfaction. The Nosses were a whole team in them- selves.

Osborn of No. 17 Arch street, complained to Captain Dann that as he was driving up West avenue last evening, and when near the Arm o'ry, two men stepped out and attempt- ed to stop his horse, for the purposg, as Mr. Osborn believes, of robbery. He says that he gave the horse a smart cut with the whip and managed to escape. Capt. Dann made an immediate inves- tigation, but failed to find any suspic- ous characters loitering about the vicin- ‘ity where Mr. Osborn claims to have been wayluid. ‘ Important Meeting. ’There will be a meeting of the Ladies Auxiliary at the Y.

Sea,” as presented at the Opera House, is an interesting play and deserves the success it is meeting. It is a. mole-drama, but without the over-wrought situations that character- ize most plays of this class. The story is interesting and holds’ the attention of the audience closely, while the serious part is pleasantly relieved by an outer- taining ‘strain of light comedy well brought out by the c”mpany. The staging is realistic and attractive, but not so prominent that the play is lost in the scenery.- You can see it tOvmor- row night at Hoyt’s Theatre. .0. Visit Ponassus.

The presenta- tion of a far-reaching and emphatic declaration on the Monroe doctrine from the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, the speech of Sewellagafinst the enforcement of that doctrine, and thecinsideratiou of the Cuban ques- tion by a subcommittee, were three events that in themselves occasioned considerable excitement. ' ‘o o o , Congressman Russell received lo-da y from the war department an order for the delivery to him of the thirteen-inch iron mortlr, now at Fort Monroe arsenal, which was used by the First Connecticut Heavy Artillery during the war. The order has been forwarded to Major S. P. Hatfield, one of the com- mittee having in- charge the erection of the regimental monument on the Capitol grounds at Hartford. This is the identical gun which the First Con- necticut Heavy Artillery had mounted on a platform car especially constructed for that purpose, and used at the siege of Petersburg.

Managed to Escape Being Arrested. Early this morning four tramps might have been seen walking down West ave- nue, all apparently more or less under the influence of intoxicams. ' They were talking in a loud and bois‘ terous manner mixed with profane and obscene language, and otherwise mak- ing themselves a public nuisance. ' Reaching the corner of Orchard street, ~they stopped, and two of the number took off their coats and pro- ceeded to use their lists in a slap bang, if not scientific style. ° ' One of the fighters was called "Jim- my" and he finally gave his opponent a blow that felled him like a log. As he fell his head struck the curbstone. and stunned him, whereupon “Jimmy” walked over and deliberately planted the heel of his boot tWo or three times on the man’s head. One of the others then interfered with the result that he too was knocked down by “Jimmy.” Dr. Higgins then appeared on the scene and “Jimmy” quickly grabbed up his coat put it on and until his re maining companion started off down the avenue as rapidly as their drunken legs would carry them. The wounded tramp was assisted to his feet, his face presenting a sorry sight being covered with blood, dirt and bruises. The fourth man had in the meantime gained his equilibrium, and the two walked dowu Orchard street, acting as if nothing uuusu Ll. had happened to them. ful one, pod ought to result in the or- rest aud imprisonmentof all four. Chief Bradley was notified and re paired to the scene but did not succeed to getting his clutches ou' the rascals, nor did he succeed in getting any trace as to where they h-Id managed to hide themselves from view. __-___._<..> _.

The men weighed 133 pounds. Ernst was the stronger from the start and the harder hitter. Front the first round he forced the fighting, hammering Flah- erty’s ribs and heart with .his left. Flaherty fought viciously in the second, and did hammer and anvil work in the third. Ernst had the Lowell man groggy in the middle of the fifth round, but Flaherty recovered. In the sixth, seventh and eighth rounds Ernst repeated his stifi‘ left punches on Flah- erty’s wind and sent his right hard on Flaherty’s ear half a dozen times. Flaherty was Weak on his legs in the eighth round and fought wild. In the first part of the ninth Ernst sent in a swift left punch on the stomach, swung his right across Flaherty’s nose and the latter went down, dazed and was count- ed out.
