Am Old Mans Attempted Suicide from a
Hoboken Beat.
On the Hoboken ferry boat Morristown,
yesterday afternoon, an old man attracted
the attention Of the other passengers by
pacing restlessly through the entire ladies'
cabins. Upon his arm leaned his daughter,
handsome young brunette fashionably
artirsd, who seemed sol2eitous about her
fathers welfare. When the boat was in
mid-stream the man made wild plunge
for the side of the boat. He had got one
leg outside the guard rail, and would have
successfully carried out his plan to jump
overheard had it not been for the efforts OF
the young woman. With both arms about
his neck she held him until a number of
passengers ran to her assistance. The
would-be suicide was taken into the cabin,
where he subsidized, apparently exhausted
by his efforts. To all inquiries concerning
her identity, the girl declined to say any
thing. "Father Asss been ill, she said,
6 and thought little fresh air might do
him good, SO we took boat ride" The
young girl, with her charge, returned to
New York on the next boat.

EDWARDS SURE TO GET IT.
HIS OPPONENTS C0NCEDE HIM A
MAJORITY IN TEE CONVENTION.

But They Expect To Do Some Funny Work
in the County Cemmittce-The Work
Being Demo en- Both sides.
The canvass for the Democratic nomina-
tion for State Senator goes briskly on, be-
tween Mayor Orestes Cleveland and Coun-
selor William D. Edwards. The only
change in the aspect of affairs is that Ed
wards's nomination, assured by the
strength of the sentiment in his fayoMsA has
grown into more certain certainty than it
ever was. It seemed to be half understood
between the rival factions of the party that
the primaries held last Tuesday evening
~ the choice of delegates to the Demo
cratic State Convention would sfferd q
chance for a preliminary trial of strength
between them; and so little interest was
felt in the complexion of the local delsga-
ton on the gubernatorial question that the
PRIMARY contests were conducted with q
special view to the State Senatorial strxg-
GLE The Edwards adherents had tickets
at all the polls; the Cleveland adhsrenss
likewise. The result was convincing
demonstration that, by large majority
the strength of the party was in the Ed
wards skirmish line. Some Of the
Cleveland adherents are trying to tluff
the weakened into the le,ief that
the primary contests, having no necessary
relation to the Senatorial canvas, as of
course they hadn't, meant nothing either
one way or another; but the s'blaff is not
working with marked success. The shrswd
men on Mr.. Cleveland's side admit now
that the majority of the delegates TO the
County Convention will be fer Edwards
One of the best posted men the TATTLHR
knows sat down the other evening and fig
ured the number of delegates from each

the American Form of government
No Dem stratIon.
About two hundred of the poorer class of
Germans living in Hoboken and Union
Hill attended the Socia!istic meeting at
Kessler's Hall, on Central avenue, last
night, and listened to addresses by DIR.
Edward Avsling and his wife, the London
Socialists. Dr.. Aveling's address was of
the dryest order imaginable, being almost
entirely statistical That portion of il
that was not statiscal was a general de-
nunciation of the American form of gov
ernment. Although he had been in this
country less than sthree weeks, and was
totally ignorant of even the first principals
on which the American Government is
founded, he asserted that 1t was all wrong
and impudently demanded that il should
be changed. To be sure that all his hear
ers knew exactly what the Socialists de-
manded, the Doctor explained that it was
the abolition Of the capitalistic mode of
production and the introduction of the
social system. The long words took the
audience by storm, and the doctor ended
his address amid great applause.
Mrs. Aveling was then intro
duced to the audience. Her address
was simply to the Americans present. The
fact that there were none present didn't
trouble her in the least. Like her hus-
band, she denounced the American form
of government and the two political par
ties. She said that any sort Of political
fight for power was nothing more or less
than a movement toward anarchy. She
bewailed the want of an English organ to
teach the Americans the principles of So
cialism. but said that in few months one
would be started, and then she was sure
every American would promptly become
socialist. Mr.. Laub, of the Socialistic So
oiety of Jersey City, closed the meeting by
announcing that two good socialists were
standing at the door holding plates for the
reception of any amount of money that
the audience might wish to contribute for
the good of the cause. They contributed
all told about 1925. and fled out OF the
hall and dispersed to their homes in an
orderly manner
There will be another meeting in the
same hall this afternoon at 8 o'clock.
Herr Wilhelm Liebknecht will be the
principal speaker. His address will be
delivered in German.

A TATTLER reporter saw DIR. Harcourt
late last night in regard to the rumors that
his friends were to purchase the old Re
formed church on Grand street for the
purpose of organizing a free Meth
odist Church, with him as its pastor. The
doctor laughed at the idea and said that he
had no idea of leaving his denomination.
and if he had, that he would join another
church and not form free Methodist
Church. He said, however, that he and
his friends were trying to buy the building
for the purpose of organizing a branch Of
the Young Mems Christian Association in
this city. He saga that is the origin OF the
rumor in regard to himself, and that
he has been approached in regard to a free
church, but he would have nothing to do
with any movement Of She kind.

Mr.. W. A. LaveIle assumes one of the
principal roles in EdmundC Collier company
in Metamora. He is Sir Arthur Vaughn,
loyal knight. The character of Walter
(Sir Arthur's adopted sony is assumed by
Mr.. Lawrence Hanley: Mr.. Lavelle is,
besides, the companys costumer. Last
night digraceful scene was enacted be-
hind the scenes between these two
gentlemen-a scene unworthy of
real son and real father. It
appears that Constable DAILY held
an J, attachment obtained by La
vells against Hanlsy amounting to SCI, for
costume furnished the latter by the
former, and he went to the Academy last
night for the purpose of getting the money
for Lavelle. Actor Jerome Stansill, who as
sumes the character of Wolfe (Lord Fitz-
Arnold's follower) in the play, when hs
learned that Hanlsy could not pay the
money called for in the attachment, came
to his relief by agreeing to settle the mat
ter by paying Lavelle himself While
Stansill, DAILY and Collysr were in the
dressing room together making the settle
ment, Hanley walked up to Lavelle out
cluo. WIG AVoll, nAo, WltAouL Woru OF any
kind, planted his right fist in Lavelle's
right optic. Layelle called police. and
Usher Thomas Lynch went for Officer
Shellworth, who refused to arrest Hanley
without warrant, as he had not Witnessed
the assault. An appeal to Constable Day
that he make the arrest also met with a re-
fusa', and, as the matter was subsequently,
amicably adjusted, it did not require the
attention Q the police, SO no arrests were
made.
