AN INSULT AND A BULLET.
A Quarrel that May Result in the Dsatl
of Thomas EarreIl

A Quarrel that May Result in the Death
of Thomas Farrell.
Edward Morton, a young tough twenty
five years of age, of No. 1855 Laidlaw ave-
nue., was arraigned in Judge Wanser's
Court this morning for the shooting Of
Thomas Farrell, of No. 149 ST Pau1s ave-
nue., on Monday night John O'Connor
is also held. Morton made no statement,
and was remanded to await the result of
Farrell's injuries.
O'Connor admitted that he went to
Mortons residence, where he boards, and
got A calibre revolver at Morton's re-
quest and gave it to him. O'Connor is
held as the witness in the case, he being
the only person who saw the shot fired.
Through the kindness of Warden Os-
borne was allowed to see and converse
with Farrell this morning. He seemed
quite cheerful, but one could see that he
is very anxious as to the result.
He seemed reluctant to say much upon
the subject, but he told the following
story:-'I was in a saloon when Morton
came in, and in few minutes he wanted
me to treat him. This | would not do,
him and he ran away. After
some time went out and met Morton on
the corner of Central and Beacon avenues
He insulted me and fired upon me. The
shot struck me in the chest, and then
Morton ran. | went to Dr. Hornblower,
who could not find the ball and then came
here"
Warden Osborne says that the doctors
think that the ball struck the breast bone
and glanced off, passing along bone to
the shoulder, near the neck, and if that is
the case, it may cost him his life.
Farrells father said this morning that
his son was not even an acquaintance of
Morton's. Farrell has the name of beinga
quiet young man. Morton, ON the con-
trary, is koown to be q boisterous char
acter.

Notes of North Hudson.

John ENNIS and James Klumpp, of
Weehawken, are no longer friends. Mon
day evening, over game of pool in Bur
ley's saloon, one accused the other of
cheating. They then retired to the yard
to settle it la Sullivan Kilrain. In the
first round Klumpp caught ENNIS hand
in his teeth and bit him severely. The
fight has been declared a draw. ENNIS
says he would like to have Klumpp ar
rested, but he has not time.
The Friendship Club celebrated Inau-
guration Day by giving one of the finest
pyrotechnic displays ever seen in North
Hudson. The club is thoroughly and en-
Enthusiastically patriotic, and there is
reason to believe that the members will
remember this Centennial for a year and u
day.
The West Hoboken Town Council will
meet this evening.
Hundreds of North Hudson's citizens
parade today.
The view of the fireworks in New York,
from the brow of the hill, was magnifi-
cent.

Application Made to Him
Today on Behalf of the
New City Government.
He MAY ONLY FIX A DAY
For the Hearing Of Argument on
Both Sides Of the Charter Ques-
tion.

Now that Centennial festivities are ap<
preaching close, everybody is getting
down to business again, and the charter
fighters have drawn themselves up in
battle array to resume afresh the struggle
for the possession of the city offices.
The first move is being made today.
Senator Edwards is engaged in an indus
trious search for Chief Justice Beasley.
1t had been arranged that he and
Ex-Governor Albeit should go to Trenton
to consult him this morning, but in
quiries, made probably by wire in Trerl-
ton, brought the information that the
Chief Justice was not at home, and Sena-
tor Edwards has gone to Belvidere, to
which place the Chief Justice is said to
have hied himself.
The knowledge that the Senator had
gone on the hunt invested visit Sheriff
Davis made to the City Hall this morning
with especial interest and some one
started a rumor that he was there for the
purpose of taking the City Hall by storm
for the new appointees the moment the
Chief Justice signs the order designating
them for the dd Interim administration OF
city functions.
The Sheriff laughingly said to me that
he expected to be commissioned to enter
upon his mission of gore at one o'clock
this afternoon, and that the moment he
begins the raid he will considerably tele-
phone THE JERSEY CITY NEWS office, SO
that it may have its Especial artist on the
spote at once
But this was only an "aside," and he
has no idea, of course, of making the
raid
The expectation of the men in Office is
that the Chief Justice will refuse to act
under the bill by authority of which Sena-
tor Edwards application is to be made to
him. And even the Mayors appointees
do not expect him to act at once.
" The only thing that will be done,'
said Mayor Cleveland this morning,
"when the Chief Justice is seen. will be
to ask him to fix day for the herring Of
the application. The petition may be pre-
sented to him as an er pdrte matter; but
we have preferred to give the other side
notice of the proceedings, and SO the Chief
Justice will merely be asked to set the
hearing down for a day certain
Mayor Cleveland replied when asked
about filling the vacancy in the Sinking
Fund Commission, made by the declina-
tion of Henry Lembeck, that he will do
nothing in that direction to-day
There's no hurry about it, p he added.

to organize.
Town Clerk Ahles called the Council to
order and then ordered the election Of a

Schlemm, Merritt, Henry, Frech and
Ross. Of these, Councilman Ruh had
been credited with four adherents, but at
the last minute Ross bolted and the Board
was dead-locked ON the first ballot Rub
and Merritt were nominated and received
three votes each. The second and third
ballots made no change in the situation.
For Rub there were Henry, Schlemm and
Rub, and Merritt, Frech and Ross were
for Merritt. After the third ballot a de-
termination to hold out seemed to possess
each combination, and the Board adj
Journed until next Monday.
1t is thought that then Ross will change
his vote to Rub. Ross received the NOM
nation that resulted in his election
through the efforts of Councilman Ruh.

Gilman Frech to be presented. In the.

There was rumpus in the police sta
tion on Monday afternoon. 1t was pay
day, and as soon as the checks were sent
down for distribution each man was
struggling to get at the desk first. They
were doomed to disappointment, how
ever. After making better time to the
bank than they ever do when on duty,
the foremost ones were told that the
checks could not be honored, as they did
not bear the endorsement of City Treas
urer Smith.
Considerably crestfalleh they tramped
back to the station house. There the ludi-
crous side of the situation struck them
and they waited until the rest went over
to experience the same reception as they
had.
The trouble occurred through an over
sight on the part of Mr.. Smith. He had
forgotten to send the bank a warrant for
the amount. He was at home at the time,
men who had wives and dreaded the con-
sequences if they neglected to take home
their money, especially before the holi-
days He arranged the matter, but even
then each man was paid s. short as the
police appropriation was overdrawn.

North Hudson's Patriotism.

The school children of North Hudson
have had Washington for breakfast and
luncheon for the last three days. On
Monday exercises were held in the schools
of all the towns.
The '5tar Spangled Banner" was
sweetly chorused, and then the principals
gave brief sketches of Washington's life
and character.
The suburban towns of North Hudson
have been bubbling over with patriotism
for the last two days. The spirit showed
itself in the numerous decorations that
wreathed the houses and fiuttered to and
fro inathe winds of Inauguration Day. Be-
meath the shadow of the flag the feuds of
politics were forgotten for the nonce, and
the country's prosperity was everywhere
toasted in earnestness and goodfellowship.
Hundreds of people from here fringed
the brow of the hill last evening, and
stood there for hours watching the fire
works Today they continued their cele-
bration, bound to make the most of their
holiday. Tomorrow they will return to
their business pursuits and fall back easily
into the old accustomed track, having
shown that the name of Washington is
not an empty sound in North Hudson.
