T fou erre Park Convicted of Selling a Forged Note for $1,251 to Merchants’ Bank. - A jury before Judge Foster in the Court of General Sessions found Charles H. Trelawney guilty of utte ing a forged note tu-day. He was manded until Thursday, when sentence will be pronounced. Trelawny, a tall Englishman of dis- tinguished appearance, was arrested on the charge last July. He says he was captain in the English Army during the Boer war, and undoubtedly he ts a man of military experience who has travelled widely. His pretty wife and little child, who were in court when the verdict was returned, wept pitifully, but Trelawney did not turn @ hair. The complaint against Trelawney was made by James V. Lott, cashier of the Merchants’ National Bank, of No. 91 Broadway. Trelawney discounted a note for $1,251 at the bank last April. The note bore t) signature of Simon Shoninger, a piano manu!

Mr. Randolph, who had lived in Newark, went to live in Mra, Btickle's house, in Orange, and there it was that young Randolph first met Jessie Stickle. r Mrs. Randolph died and left her entire estate to her daughter, The elder Mr. Randolph tried to have some part of the estate set aside for hint, and failing, went back to Newark, where he married again. Young Randolph, on the other hand, did not let the differences between his father and Miss Stickle bother him, for he took charge of the estate and managed {t for her. There then sprang up an affection be- tween the young couple that speedily ripened into love, and finally culminated in the marriage. No one suspécted that the friendship of the young folks was other than that which would bé natural between step- brother and rtep-sister, and there was much surprise when the wedding was announced. The young couple will live in Newark. : ene nereeal BRITISH TRADE BETTER. returns issued to-day complete the fignces for 1903 and show that the totat of trade for the year, adding exports and inp ris, reached the huge sum of $4,516,768, oF $12,000,000 above the pre- rts alone, the Total fitknu 26,000 to $56 08,0 better than in 1902, the previous highest.
