The recount bas been completed by Justice Hendrickson' jaspection of the dispated ballots in but 18 districts, but the remainder, is thought, will not occopy nearly so much time as the districts already investigated. Arguments have been made by counsel representing both candidates on almost all classes of ballots. This will now be eliminated to a large extent and will resolt In a saving of macb time.
Agaia there are fewer protested ballots to the remaining distrieta- then those passed upon, although taere are still in the neighbor. good at tore MINION TO BE ed upon by Justice In the four days in which Justice Headrickson sat bere this week the disputed ballots from tea distric'e were investigated. From this number of districts Mr. Francis made net gain of one vote. Supporters of both candidates still claim the ultimate victory but the result is 80 uncertain that neither side cares to predict the majorities expected.
From the present outlook the matter will not be closed for two weeks get at least. Wednesday counsel for Mr. Close secured an adjournment until today lo. order that former Senator William B. Edwards of dersey City, might be present to represent Mr.
Close, counsel explaining that they did pot wish to take the responsibility devolving upon them ander present copditions.

Strong was correct so far as the office of justice of the peace. W85 cerned, bat thought that voter's wish to see a friend elected to that office spoold BOI result In. the remainder of the ticket being invalidated. Justice Headrickson decided to favor of the voter and ordered the ballots counted, saying be did not wish to disfranchise a voter unless there was something on the face of the ticket which showed evident desiga to mark the ticket for identidcation.

The ballots were Englishtown tickets and Justice Hendrickson beid that they abculd take the same course as the Freehold townsbip and Freebold town ballots, which bad been voted in wrong precinete and watch dostice Headrickson had ruled abould be counted. Alan Strong opposed the counting of tbese ballots, contending that they were la a different class, the same of the township and borough differlag.

S. Everett Son, Cranbury, N. J. MR. HENDERSON'S LECTURE ART WORK OF RICHARD Listened to by Cecelian Club and a Select Audience.
William J. Henderson the well known musical critic, lectured before the Cecelian club and a small and select audience in the Reformed church chapel last Tuesday evenlog. His subject was "The Art Work of Richard Wagner, He was assisted by Miss Kiss Breidt, pianist, also of. New York. Frederick Parker, a friend of Mr.
Headerson since the days they were students together at the old. Freebold Tastitate, iatroduced the speaker, In opening Mr. Henderson said ibere were many facts in mosical, bistory which need to get well in mind before we can understand what Richard Wagner was endeavoring to do in bis musical writings. He then. proceeded to describe the origin and growth of Italian opera from tie early beginnings Florence, come, the ancient Greek drains tor their model, attempted to give the world something brighter than the musle then in vogue, which was all of a solemn character, being modeled after that in use in the Catholic church.
The first result was the Italian recitative. This struck the popular fancy, and after many efforts extending over sears, the opera finally took the form in Which Wagner found at when be came upon the stage of action; and It bad come to pars that while music was drst written to explain the drama, the drama finally became only an excuse for the mosic. The speaker said that when Wagner Brat began to write he did not seem to bare any very lofty ideals or any idea of getting out of the beaten paths then pursued by the popalar and successful writers of opera of his day. Meyerbeer was at this time at the beight of his fame and the composer: who wanted to have a work produced, most needs journey to Paris and consult Meyerbeer. Wagner's dest work was modeled after the threw accepted form of opera, the form in which all of works were written.
When Wagner presented bis first opera to Meyerbeer he was given no eDcouragement. His work was banded back to. him and was subsequently produced in Dresden. Wagner was at this time very poor. sad was supporting himself by such musical work as he could find to do, bat be resolutely set about accomplishing his own Ideals to his own way.
He wrote no more of the operas as at that time popular which consisted of the recitative add solos, quartets, etc. as the exigeneles of the piece might seem to upon a model of his own devising. Of course be met with a great of apposition from all quarters. Be was called so iconoclast, and other things. The controversy waxed bot and Wagner was not slow to defend himself, se his volominous works will show.
to short he took the position that he was bot trying to destroy the old forms, bot endeavoring to Hind new model whereby he might express what was his musical Ideal. His ambition was to make the opera a great art form, lastructing the people in the same AS the ancient drains lestructed the Greeks. Maste was to express emotion or describe scene. The material which be adapted to tbe working out of these new ideas Wis found in the old Norse mythology, and the old Saxon alliterative form of poetry. Wag- again and again Dis represents scenes and objects.
Mr. Benderson said the oolr way to enjoy Wagper was to learn the Miss Breidt was of great assistance to the audience- or at least to them getting clear understanding of the "Sbe played numerous pasyages during the lecture. of what the speaker had been describlog in words. conclusion Mr. Benderson begged ble Rudience not to go to bear Wagner as 40 amusem*nt alone, but after faithful study for the text and getting la thorougb aympathy with the drama.
It is only In this way that the bearer can enjoy Wagner in the bigbest artistic degree. NEGRO'S HEAVY SENTENCE. Marian Williams Gets Nine Years on Plea of Guilty.
