HERES WHERE THERE'S MUSIC.
But Then the Democrats Are Sure t
Carry the T,,ird


But Then the Democrats Are Sure to
Carry the Third.
1t is the general notion in political cir
cles that the Republicans of the Third
district have abandoned all hope of carry
ing the district, either on the Assembly or
on the Freeholder ticket. The war be-
tween the factions is, however, one of the
bitterest that has been known even in
that badly rent political locality. James
Muephy has regular Democratic nomi-
nation. G. ID. J. Noelke. one of the facto-
tums of the Kern crowd, is in the field.
John Watt is fighting Midlege on the Re
publican side. The district is naturally
Democratic. Watt will draw more votes
from Midlege than man of Noelke's an
tecedents can possibly draw from any
one, and the netresult must b0 a plurality
for Murphy.
having monkey and parrot time DON
well known and popular. man of recog-
nized probity. and the people of the Third
district may be counted upon to give him
their suffrages. McCaffrey's Kern alli-
ance will, of course, leave him without
the slightest show in the race, while
Griffin turns up to rob him of what little
support he might have commanded. The
Republican minority propose to waste
their strength by trying to elect two can
didates, Turner and Nichols, which, of
course, is not among the possibilities.
So il is that, in spite of all the smoke
and dust in the political atmosphere of
the district the certainty of Democratic
triumph can be easily seen.

THE FIGHT IN THE FOURTH.
Colonel Heppenheimer's Fight Against
the Chief of the ssBig Four"

colonel Aeppennelmef's t1ghC Against
the Chief of the "Big Four"
The triangular fight for Assembly in
the Fourth district is '.red hot'' in intens-
ity, and the supporters of the three can
didates are hustling in every direction in
their interest. Colonel William q. Hep
penheimer, the regular Democratic candi-
date, who has represented the district in
the Legislature for the past two years,
belongs to one of the most prominent
families of the Hill and has spent his en-
tire life in the district He is large tax
payer and is directly interested in all
that tends to promote the prosperity OF
his section. The canvass of the district
shows that the candidacy of Bill Kern is
not injuring him at all. Kern himself is
a disappointed, disgruntled politician,
who escaped conviction of malfeasance
by the skin of his teeth. He is backed by
a faction composed of ex-employees of
the old Board of Works and others, who
have had their full share of soft snaps"
at the city's expense-as selfish pack of
public cormorants as ever disgraced a
district.
Kern is especially directing his efforts
to divide the Democratic vote in the new
portion of the district, and boasts that he
will receive larger vote than Heppen-
heimer. He is also endeavoring to infiu-
ence Republican votes in his favor, but
the supporters of Calvin Peck, who re-
fused to combine with "Kern's Kickers,"
will stand by their candidate, and If the
Democrats of the district do their duty
Heppenheimer will be triumphantly re-
elected.
A Reception to Governor Green Tonight.
The Fourth district will be fired this

ney General Stockton and Charles H.

The Commissioners say tnat as long as

they thought that 1t would be better for

have an equal and fair opportunity to
submit proposals.
1t was also stated that the plans and

for various reasons did not care to go
there.

Creole Is a corruption of the Spanish
word criollo, which signifies one born in
America or the West Indies of European
ancestors. In this sense all the native
white people of the United States might
be called creoles. But the world in its
English form has unnergone both limi-
tarion and an extension 1t is limited to
persons within or near the tropics, and is
made to include persons of all colors.
Thus the term creole negro is employed
in the English West Indies to distinguish
the negros born there from the Africans
imported during the time of the slave
trade This application of the term to the
colored people has led to an idea common
in some parts of the United States, though
wholly unfounded, that it implies an ad-
mixture. greater or less, of African blood.

A Railway Hog.

A prominent treasury official, well
known for his courtly manners and keen
appreciation of what's what, went on a
railroad excursion recently. 1t doesn't
matter whether Bay Ridge or Atlantic
City was its objective point, but the rail-
road hog was out in force. The cars were
crowded. There was but q single vacant
seat, and the hog was spread all over it.
Is this seat engageds" asked the Off
cial. The hog grunUed out some unin-
telIigible responfe, but intimated that it
wasn't by moving two inches nearer the
window and looking sour enough to
curdle milk. The official wedged into
the narrow space and waited, The hog
was in possession of two-thirds of the
seat, and showed no signs of reducing
the pressure Presently a big, fat, zoo
pound colored woman puffed up the aisle.
The official rose.
MADAM" said he. lifting his hat with
Chesterfield grace, 'take my seat'
He waved her into it. She pumped her
200 pounds of anatomy with a suddenness
and vigor that filed the vacant space and
overfiowed into the lap of the hog. The
car was tittering The hog squealed and
told her to get out of his lap.

THE ENGINEER HELD.
Who's Responsible for the Death of
Mrs. Higgins?


Mrs. Higgins?
Coroner Brackner and a jury met in
the City Hall, Bayonne. last night, to en-
quire into the cause of the death of Mrs
Anna Higgins, who was killed on We'd
nesday last at Bayonne station by a
twild-cat' engine in charge of Joseph
Wilson.

the lady cross the track, and the engine
bearing down upon her. The lady ap-
peared to be looking as if to select a car
of the train which was just pulling into
the station.
Mr.. Richard was also witness of the
accident. and while he would not state
positively that the train had stopped when
the engine struck Mrs. Higgins, he was
nevertheless under the firm impression
that it had.
Miss Maria Logan, who was just be-
hind Miss Higgins. is positive that she
heard no warning whistle, although her
friend has said that she did.
Five employees of the Central Railroad
Company testified to having witnessed
the accident, or, ut least, the episodes
either Immediately preceding or follow
ing it.
