Former President Cleveland Seeks
to Represent New Jersey.
QUIETLY LAYING PIPES
[le [S Anxious to Round. Out His
Public Life by One More National
Service—Had Long Been'llis Ain-
bition.
New York, Oct. 2.—Throughout the
length and breadth of New Jersey the
rumor has flown that Grover Cleveland
is anxious to become United States
Senator. from New Jersey.
The next vacancy in New Jersey will
occur in 1899, when Senator Smith’s
term will expire. Senator Sewell goes
out in 1901. o
If Mr. Cleveland succeeds in being
sent to the Senate he will have fol-
iowed the example set by John Quincy
Adams, who became a Representative
-n Congress after having been the na—
zion’s chief magistrate.
Mr. Cleveland returned to his stone
house in Princeton but a short time
Ago. He was born in New Jersey, and
it is said that for that very reason he
wishes to serve the State before his
career closes. .
There are rumors afloat that Mr.
Jleveland began the consideration Of the
Senatorial matter many years ago—in
fact, before his last election. The pur-
chase of the Princeton house was the
first veiled move. I
Health Greatly Improved.
The health of the former President is
greatly improved. He looks better and
says he feel better than in years. It
was the confinement at a desk that
undid him, he says.
When Mr. Cleveland will begin Open
operations for the Senatorship is a
matter Of conjecture among Jerseymen. ’
At present he is engaged in “praising '
up” the State, Princeton in particular,
and is making friends hand over fist.
Mr. Cleveland is punctilious as to
the dignity of his position as a former
President. He has recently declined
tWO highly important undertakings.
only because he deemed them inconsist-
ent with his standing. He could have
acted for Venezuela had he wished.
But a place in the Senate would please
him greatly.
The late William E. Russell, Massa—
chusetts’ brilliant young Governor,
used to talk by the hour with Mr.
Cleveland. He commented to him on
the case of John Quincy Adams, how
”:hat distinguished citizen divested him-
self of the Presidency and entered the
House of Representatives as a simple
Congressman.
Mr. Cleveland has been credited with
a hankering after another term at the
White House. This was never the case
after the expiration of the first half of
his last term of Office. He knew it
' was out of the question, and dismissed
the matter from his mind. When he
abandoned the idea of another term he
became more and more indifferent to
Senators and the politicians generally.
‘Outside a circle of personal friends,
Mr. Cleveland cares nothing for men
except as they maybe of use to him.
Of late he had been cultivating ac-
quaintances in New Jersey. Those who
observe him closely in the future will
perceive that his fondness for New
Jersey and Jerseymen grows apace.
A Summer at the “heel of Cape Cod”
-fishing, shooting, plenty of out—
door exercise—has made another man'
of Grover ‘Cleveland. He has no
chronic disease, as many people have
imagined he had. He was merely suf-
fering from bad hygienic conditions,
from the effect of too ClOSe confinement
at the desk and overwork without exer-
cise. To-day Mr. Cleveland feels as
well and as brisk as a man of his
physique is capable of feeling. He per~
ceives an increasing family of children
about him and he regards the fact as
an encouragement of his aspirations.
SHOWER OF BULLETS.
A Hot Battle Fought at Unity, Pu.
One Killed, Several Injured.
Pittsburg, Oct. 2.—Unity’s long and
black record of crime was emphasized
by a pitched battle at the colored camp
to-day. One man was shot dead and
several others seriously and, perhaps,
fatally wounded.
Two colored men held up Joe Coteria,
an‘ Austrian. Coteria was returning to
his home. The colored men, who were
armed with a shotgun and revolvers,
sprang upon him from the roadside and
ordered him to throw up his hands. Co-
teria obeyed. They demanded his
money. Coteria replied that he had
none. Imediately one of the negroes
shot the Austrian in the head. He
dropped dead.
The sound of the shot aroused. the
boarders in the murdered man’s home,
not more than ten yards away. The
boarders saw the negroes stooping over
the body of Coteria, searching his
pockets. The first man out of the house
fired at the robbers, who returned the
fire. Then,followed promiscuous shoot—
ing on both sides as the thieves retreat-
ed. They were pursued and the firing
ceased.
Two of the boarders attempted to
carry Coteria’s body into the house,
and they were scarcely under cover
when ‘a perfect volley of shots rained
upon the house from either side. The
colored men had returned, bringing
with them a number of others.
The windows, doors and sides of the
house were perforated, and several per-
sons inside were hit. Lights were ex—
tinguished, and the boarders fired at.
the attacking party from windows and.
doors.‘ Many shots were exchanged, and
it is thought several Of the attacking
party were wounded. The fight con-
tinued nearly an hour. -
Justice Gilbert Dead.
Rondout, N. Y., Oct. 2.-——Justice
Francis H. Gilbert died at his home in
Stamford, in the Catskills, yesterday,
aged 67 years. He had been ill for
some months.
Justice Gilbert had long been a
prominent figure in State politics. He
was the law partner of the late Judge
Maynard, who was his cousin. The
firm had offices at Stamford and
Albany.

YESTERDAY’SCABTNET MEETING.
The Cuban Question and the Situa-
tion in Hawaii the Ohio: Topics.
Washington. ~Oct. 2.—There_ was 1- a
general understanding in.oflicial circles
here that yesterda‘y's Cabinet meeting
would be partly devoted to a discussion
of, the advisability of’making public the
text of the instructions given Minister
Woodford for his guidance in treating
with the Spanish Government on the
o
Cuban‘questio‘n, or of advising Gen.,
Woodford to give the press the text of
the note he presented to the Duke of
Tetuan. Permission to furnish the note
to the newspapers had been asked by
Gen. Woodford, and Secretary Sher-
man sent the note, with his approval.
to the President, who was then at
North Adams. The answer of the
President that 'he believed it best not
to comply with Gen. Woodford's re-
quest at this time was considered. as
Indicating only a short delay until the
President could consult with his
Cabinet. But no mention of the sub—
lect was made at the meeting, probably
because the change in the political
situation at Nbdrid leaves this -G0v-
ernment in a quandary as to whether
it will be necessary to take further
action when a new ministry is formed.
The present crisis in Spain was _ dis-
cussed by the President and his Of-
ficial familyat some length, with par-
ticular reference to the effect, the
change in,political control at Madrid
would be likely to have on Cuba. It
was the first opportunity afforded for
an exchange of views since the Presi-
dent went to Massachusetts.
The Cabinet meeting was longer
than usual. It lasted more than two
hours, and adjourned on the departure
of Secretary Sherman, who almost in—
variably leaves the Cabinet room when
the considerationpof State Department
matters is concluded. The Cuban dis-
cussion was not based on any informa—
tion from Gen. Woodford. He has not
sent a line about the resignation of the
Spanish Ministry or its probable effect
on the insurrection. The President and
the Cabinet talked about the probabil-
ity of the succession of a liberal min-
istry, and how it would act toward the
struggling patriots, but there was no
attempt arrive at a definite conclu-
sion in regard to any action it might
be necessary for the United States to
take.
The views expressed were of a gen-
eral character, and the topic was de-
ferred for future consideration, be-
cause the developments at Madrid
have not been sufficient to justify any
new instructions to the American Min-
ister there. -
Some consideration was also given
to the situation in Hawaii. It was the
verdict of the President and the others
gathered at the Cabinet table that
things in the islands were in such a
peaceable condition that no fears need
be entertained of any trouble from the
opponents of annexation.
THE ”SAUSAGE CASE."
During and Startling Statement of
Expert Allport.
Chicago, Oct. 2.———The “sausage case,"
as irreverent Chicago calls the long-
drawn-out trial of Adolph L. Luetgert,
charged with murdering his wife, con-
tinues as a tournament of scientists,
real and pseudo, and with varying
fortunes.
Prof. Allport, the osteologist, threw
dISmay for a moment into the camp of
the prosecution, and made the man
whose life is at stake. laugh, by testify-
ing, as he held in his hand that shat—
tered fragment which the experts for
the prosecution declare to be the tem-
poral bone of a woman: ‘
“This is not a temporal bone of a
human, nor of a lower order of animal.
It is a composition Of bones put to-
gether artificially. The trace here
Which Prof. Dorsey has said was the
outline of a facial nerve is really a
fibre of animal matter with which the
bones are stuck together—a fortuitous
collection of fragments such as result
in the process of making headcheese.”
But when Prosecutor McEwen got at
the young osteologist with his little
cross-catechism, he “made a monkey”
of. Prof. Allport, in Chicago vernacular.
He passed up a. bucketful of
sesamoids to the witness and got a lot
of hazy answers from him. Then he
asked him what‘ kind of an animal had
worn a certain bone exhibited.
"That’s from the leg of a monkey,"
said Allport promptly, with a disserta—
tion on monkey’s legs.
Mr. McEwen smiled mischievously
and said he understood the bone was
from a dog’s leg, whereupon Prof. All-
port chirruped: ‘
“Yes, there is a- species of dog-
monkey, and"—'
“And you took this for one of them,”
assented the prosecutor, interrupting.
That about used up the young oste-
ologist in the opinion of the prosecu-
tion, but they relentlessly continued.

A MARTYR TO MELONS.
Poisonpr No Poison Rufus Couldn’t With-
~strand His Longing. . 1
The melon crop was short this year,
and a Southwest Georgia farmer, who
had practicaly “cornered” it in his
ineighborhood had Sufiered seriously
,from the depredations of some of. the
hungry colored'brethren. So he gave
it out that he had poisoned his melons,
and after the news went forth he ceas-
ed tO miss them.
Night after night an old negro who
lived nearthe finest melon patch had
gazed at their green sides with hungry
eyes, but the thought of the poison
kept him hungry still.
One moonlight night, however, his
appetite got the. best of him. He look-
ed in the direction of the melons long
and earnestly; then, shouldering a
sack, he started 03.1
“In de name er goodness, Rufus,
whar you gwine?” asked his wife.
The old man turned, pointed to the
melon patch and said, slowly and
solemnly:
“I’m a—gwine whar dem melons is!”
“But———dey’s p’isoned! ”
“I know day is! But I’m gwine ter
take my death. Pray fer me.”—-At-
