UNDERTAKEN BOYLAN'S STORY.
He Tells About the Case of Canal Boat
Captain Thompson.

He Tells About the Case of Canal Boat
Captain Thompson.
Some months ago a Swede canal boat
captain by the name of Thompson dropped
dead with heart disease on one of the
boats at the D., L. and w. docks. In his
pockets were found S163 and a bank
book showing that he was credited with
$500 in the Seaman's Savings Bank in
Brooklyn. The police gave the body to
Undertaken Boylan for burial, and Mr..
Boylan took possession of the money and
book found in his pockets.
The captains widow subsequently
called upon the undertakerand demanded
the personal property. Mr.. Boylan re-
fused to hand it over till the estate had
been properly administered. The Swedish
to by the widow and he tried to secur
Mr.. Boylan's arrest yesterday on a charge
OF grand larceny. Justice Davis, before
whom the complaint was made, referred
the compliments to the Orphans Court.
Nh. Boylan, when called upon for his
version of the affair this morning, said:-
Il have just prepared this letter for the
press. That is all l have to say" The
letter contained the following
Replying to an article prominently
headed "After Undertaken Boylan," and
published in the EUelting Journal yester-
day afternoon, l have only to say in re
lation to the Thompson matter that I did
refuse to give the bank book to the
widow because |, with an associate, was
obliged at the time to file a $4,000 bond
$1,000 each), and when demanding an ac-
counting before the Surrogate the
legal counsel of Widow Thompson
declined to reimburse the Surrogate
for his services. So I shall hold the bank
book until the matter is amicably settled.
A perusal of the article as it appeared in
the EUening Journal would give the
reader the impression that / had com
mitted an offence. l a only consider
that my course of proceeding has been
misrepresented to the Consul.

Got There Too Late.

Our only competitor tried last night
to cover the thrashing THE JERSEY
CITY News gave it on Tuesday in its
report of the State convention with
boast and bombast. The fact that
the wires between this city and Tren-
ton would not work is the excuse
it gives for the miserablv inefficient
story it served up to its readers in its
Tuesdays edition, but it asserts that
it got there" to quote its own in
elegant phraseology, "all the same
The Journal may have "got there
but not in time to tellthe amusing story
of the Jeffersonian kickers' absurd
struggle for recognition, which, con-
sidered in its local aspect, was the
most interesting feature of the con
vention. THE JERSEY CITY News
had an interesting column of the
story. If the Journal SCOT there" it
must be woefully ignorant of the
value of news, for not a word about
this struggle decorated its columns.
If the Journal ''got there" how is it
that it was obliged to clip from the
Eoendqag Post of Tuesday a mere sum-
mary of the platform for it's last
edition. The full text of the interest
ing document was in type in the office
of THE JERSEY CITY NEWS at nine
o'clock Tuesday morning and fur
nished to it's readers at five o'clock in
the afternoon.
If the Journal ''got there" with a
mere announcement of the nominal
ton in an Extra, Tuesday afternoon,
which no one, as far as we have been
able to learn, saw, THE JERSEY CITY
NEWS got there at the same hour with
just as full a report of the proceedings
and of the nomination as the Journal
furnished to it's readers yesterday
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS hours later,
and ten hours after every paper in
New York city had laid the particu-
lars we had already published before
the public.
The Journal may have got there.
We believe we did see a Journal man
at the Convention; but he, and it with
him, ''got there" a good deal too late.

WHAT THE EDITORS SAY
Albeit with a Hurrah.

Although public expectation real
lied the nomination of Leon ALBEIT
by the Democratic State Convention,
it was scarcely anticipated that the
several delegates would vie with each
other for the distinction of naming the
candidate.
The proceedings of the convention
show thatif any opposition to the ex-
Governor existed in the ranks of the
party it was so feeble, or SO covert, or
so polite, as to turn tail when the
storm broke. The fact is, the conven-
ton was enthusiastic in its unanimity.
The chairmen of the various delega-
tions, in their haste to name Albeit,
almost fell over each other.
Mr.. Albeit will make a thorough,
lively and brilliant campaign. He is
a warrior whose methods are not to
be discounted. He is popular with
the people, and will make a fight that
willa tax the Republican leaders to
meet-WegDdyk EDeGin0 Ne2Ds.

her husband the other afternoon, after
they had started out for o half holiday.

only what / can carry in my handbag"
The handbag was such a fiat, diminu-
tive affair, seemingly capable of holding
so very little, that Younglove cheerfully
complied with his wife's request.
When they emerged from the store, two
hours n a half later, the handbag con-
tained:- fG,a.
Two yards orange ribbon, one yard
dress lining, four yards Torchon lace, one
card hooks and eyes, three spools sewing
silk, one spool twist, n spool bast1ng
thread, q card pearl buttons, three yards
cardinal ribbon, three handkerehiefS, one
pair kid gloves, one yard tulle, one-haf

papers of pins, one cutsteel buckle, one
yard watered ribbon, three fancy work
ornaments, one skein embroidery silk.
one pair dress shields, two yards Ham
burg, one yard insertion. n box button
fasteners, one box hair pins, one pair
hosiery supporters and one hair net.

The doubtful Senate.


The election of the Democratic can
didate for Governor is almost a mat
ter of course in this State, and there
fore the only way the party can
demonstrate the marked ascendancy
of its ideas in any given year is by Civ
ing its candidate a strongly reinforced
plurality, andby sending to his support
healthy majorities in both houses Of
the Legislature. The popularity of
the candidate, the strength of the
platform, the energy and enthusiasm
of the party leaders, and the devotion
of the voters insure to Mr.. Albeit this
year the most emphatic victory that
the party has ever won.
But to the complete success of his
administration when elected, a solid
legislative support is necessary. There
fore, while no needful effort should
be diverted from the task of swelling
the Gubernatorial vote, much earnest
work should be done in behalf of
the Democratic candidates for the
Senate and Assembly. There is every
reason to believe that the natural
bent of the voters will determine tho
Democratic complexion of the Assem-.
bly,, and only ordinary care in the
selection of good candidates will be
necessary.
There is rather more doubt, how
ever, in respect to the Senatorial
struggle-no doubt, indeed, if proper
steps be taken early in the campaign
to insure active propagandism in the
close counties, but some danger if the
minor contests be lost sight of in the
absorbing interest of the greater. In
Bergen and Hudson there is no fear
These staunch strongholds of demo-
cracy may be counted on to give their
usual majorities. In Atlantic and
Ocean, on the other hand, there is no
hope. The prohibition element there
is in the hands of the Republican
bosses, and the two parties united can
always win the day. Morris,
Cumberland and Mercer are the
real battle grounds of the
Senatorial contest. Naturally,
they may be regarded as slightly in
clining to the Democracy, Mercer and
Morris, of course, much more SO than
Cumberland, which Is very doubtful.
Tbo n~oHabIa oanJidoov ~ So-o+on
Werts goes far to insure success in
Morris, and all the probabilities are
that any good democrat can carry
Mercer by a vigorous fight.
TO hold control of the Senate, the
Democracy must win two of these
doubtful counties. Mercer and Morris
are the easiest pair to carry.
1t will, therefore, appear to
be the wisest policy in the
State leaders to concentrate
their forces in these counties, and by
winning every doubtful vote to their
side provide for the complete supre-
macy of the party in the States affairs
next year.
Such an ascendancy means great
things for the State of New Jersey,
which is depressed in standing among
its sisters by the reputation Of being
corporation ridden. Let Governor

Among the passengers on a Western
train yesterday. says the Boston Journal,
was a woman very much over-dressed,
accompanied by a bright-looking nurse
girl and a self-willed, tyrannical boy OF
about three years.
Tit boy aroused the Indignation of the
passengers by his continual shrieks ana
KICKS and screams and his viclousness TO-
ward his patient nurse. He tore her BON
net and scratched her hands without a
word of remonstrance from the mother.
whenever the nurse manifested any
nrmness the mother chided her sharply.
Finally the mother composed herself Tor
a nap, and about the time the boy mad
slapped the nurse for the fifth time a
wasp came sailing in and hew on the
window of the nurses seat. The boy at
once tried to catch it.
The nurse caught his hand and said
coaXingly:-
Harry mustn't touch. Bug will bite
Harry."N I
Harry screamed savagely and began to
kick and pound the nurse.
The mother, without opening her eyes
or lifting her head, cried out sharply
Why do you tease hat child so, Nary
Let him have what he wants at once"
But, ma'am, it's a."
Let him nave it, | say"
Thus encouraged Harry clutched at
the wasp and caught it. The scream that
ollowed brought tears of JOY to the
passengers eyes.
The mother awoke again.
MARY" she cried, "let him have it."
Mary turned in her seat and said con-
fusedly:-
Hes got it, ma'am."

A Convention Unnecessary.

1t was really unnecessary for the
Democratic party of New Jersey to
hold any State Convention this year.
Leon Albeit, the most arrogant illus
tration of ''bossismp that has ever af-
ficted any partyin this State, had an
nounced weeks ago that he should be
the candidate, and that settled it.
The man has many and bitter enemies
among the leaders of his party, but
they have all been terrorized and 0
dare not utter a squeak of opposition.
These leaders will all turn in and
work for him, as is the Democratic
way. The only hope of his defeat is
in the distrust for the man, with
which his party is really honey
combed. Hardly a decent democrat
does not in his heart dislike Albeit.
How this will affect the vote nobody,
of course, can yet tell. Paterson

The Folly of a Lamb.

About the first error the lamb makes in
life is to mistake the shepherd or his dog
for its mother, and many are the manoeu-
| vres hat must be gone through with to
make the new arrival follow the right
party. His net error is likely to be an
attempt to walk on air when he comes to
a place where he should go down hill.
| His ten minutes experience in life has
| made him believe that all the earth is
a level plain, and in broad daylight he
| steps off the top of a hill just as serenely
as q man steps off the top landing of the
| stairs in total darkness when he is GER
tain that the stairs are yet twenty feet
away. The result is a great surprise to
man and lamb in each instance.
The lamb picks himself up and con-
tinues down the hill; he soon comes to
the conclusion that everything is down
hill in this life and not on a dead level.
Upon getting to the loot of the hill he
still tries to continue downward and as "a
result runs his nose into the ground II
looks surprised again. He now comes to
q place to get uphill n goes up Just as
our man starts to go upstairs in total
darkness when he thinks the stains are
still twenty feet away.
There is only one thing that's 500 times
as funny and provoking by turns as a
Lamb, and that Is 500lambs together when
they are a month old. The shepherd sits
down and watches the 500 lambs all in a
bunch by themselves playing, running
and f~rolicking, and he laughs. When be
has tried and tried in vain to get the
| same 500 lambs across Q bridge or into a

CORPORAL TANNER has resigned.
His brief but disastrous reign in the
Pensions office is over. Few men
have I'VE succeeded in securing so
much unfavorable criticism in so short
a time. Tanner withdraws in obedi-
ICE to a popular demand which the
administration dared not disregard.
His career has shown how much DAM
age can be done a cause by a loud
mouthed and reckless advocate
thereof. The chance which any de-
serving person has of securing a pen
sion or of increasing the amount now
received is much the worse for
Tanners uproarious and ridiculous
regime. No one is so foolish as to
suppose that the cutlery against
Tanner was an attempt to cheat the
soldier or his widow of any portion OF
the money justly due. 1t was, in
m ost cases certainly, a protest against
feeding knaves at the expense of
honest people; an attempt to divert
the flow of gold away from the pen
sion shark and the bogus claimant,
whittier Tanner turned it. and to set
it again in the proper channel.
