Odd Bits of Gossip.

The canvas of the friends Of Matthew
Ludlow, of West Hoboken, for Town
Clerk is progressing prosperously. The
suggestion of his ann has met with
general approval, and it is NOT likely
that he will have any opposition. AL
though springing from a Republican
family Mr.. Ludlow is a straight out
and out Democrat.
The case of Charles Bethman and
Nicholas Wallace, of West Hoboken,
who were Jailed yesterday~on account
of a grand racket that took place in a
house on Cedar street, was dismissed
by Recorder Gravatt, the charge of as
sault having been withdrawn. The
police, however, will keep their eyes
upon the house, and any future dis
turbance there will lead to wholesale
arrests from which there will be no
escape.
The streets in the upper section Of
Union Hill are in a horrible condition,
and from all indications they will re-
main SO until a new Board OF Council
is elected.
Union Hill has the largest popula-
ton OF any town in she State, yet it's
public buildings, excepting it's new
schoolhouse, are the most miserable
looking affairs that the Imagination is
possible to conceive. The town hall is
crumbling to pieces and is really un-
safe. In New York city it would be
condemned in a moment. It's fire
houses are of the meanest description,
and are not fit to stable COWS in. The
town is wealthy, and the people are
able and willing to pay for decent
buildings. Messrs. Councilmen, take
notice.

Ever since the citizens meeting at

topic of conversation among the resi-
dents of this section has been: Who
will first occupy the offices that will,
by the creation of the new county, be
necessary. | interviewed many OF the
leading citizens on this subject last
night and a digest of their opinions
form the following slate:
Sherif-M. Coyle, of Hoboken.
County C~lerk-Ferd. .Ahles, of Union
Registrar-Martin v. McDermott, of
Hoboken.
Surrogate Simon Kelly, of Wee
hawken.
rosecutingAttorney-Wa smyth

What Town clerk Alters Thinks.

: Town Clerk Ferdinand Ahlefs, of
Union Hill, desires it stated that he
was not present at the recent meeting
to discuss the county division matter.
While he thinks the matter is Of great
and grave Importance he does not
think that a conclusion should be too
hastily arrived at. There is, in his
opinion. many sides to the question
and each should be thoroughly
weighed in the minds Of the people.
He has not arrayed himself as yet for
or against the movement.

Is SAM JOHNSON IN TOWN.
His wife in Minnesota Would Like
to Hear of His Whereabouts.
NATIONAL LEAGUE.

to Hear of His whereabouts.
MrSSgAPoLIs Mimi, Oct. 9.-To THE
EDITOR: In next December 1t will be two
years since Mr.. Sam johnson left here
to go to Spokane Falls. Ii seems that
he stayed there until some time in the
spring, when he left there and went to
Anaconda, Mont. On the 26th of May
he wrote letter from there to his wife,
who was and is yet here. Since then
she has never heard word from him
except through cousin of his who CAME
from the same place In Montana last
fall. He had not seen him there, but he
heard there that he had gone back to
Spokane Falls.
Mrs. Johnson has written to both places,
and can here nothing from him, and of
course she is quite anxious to- know
what has become of him. She thinks he
must be dead, but if he is she would
about him. He is stone-mason by
trade, of medium height and quite slim
build; light complexion, dark hair, blue
eyes and sandy beard hair and beard
slightly gray.
His wife is very poor and has four chill
drcn to support. He Is an American,
and his wife says he was always good
husband and Kind father. They have
been married seventeen years, and he
has never shown any signs of being tired
of his family or anything that would
show that he would ever leave them pur-
posely.
If you can find his whereabouts you
will do his family great favor. Re-
spectfully yours, ALvIRA TURNER,

Clarkson's, for in those days the strain
was not nearly so great on a pitcher as
II now Is and the limitations not nearly
so exacting. Boston may well be proud
of her citizen and the Boston club Of her
pitcher. That $4,000 will never cause a
sigh Of regret.
Ofthe other clubs in tho race none is
moro entitled TO laudatory comment
than Chicago. With handicap of an
exhausting tour around the world and
consequent lack of spring practice and
dearth OF pitching material, Ansons
team was considered out OF the hunt for
more than four months. But the old
mans methods and pluck have worked
wonders with the team, and yesterday,
when the season closed, the Chicago
clubs name was inscribed on the third
panel of the tablet. Bravo, old warrior,

The Clevclands made splendid show
ing In this their first season as league
club. With team of youngsters they
jumped at once to a leading position In
the race, and for a long period held on to
second place, while the older and more
experienced teams were wallowing In
the gloomy tail.end atmosphere. Their
gradual drop In position was not due to

and big majority OF the games they lost
were by the smallest possible. margin.
Pittsburg might have stood higher at
the end of the series IL W hite and Rowe
had been secured early In the season.
The action of these two men In holding
improvement of the other clubs. The

and made decided difference. Indian
apolis could not do itself justice through
lack Of pitching material, and the Wash
ingtons did about as well as could he ex-
pected with the players composing the
team.
The Philadclphias finished the season
In the position assigned to them by four
tifths of the baseball prophets of the
country. Harry Wright has kept his
colts in generally good form, and at no
time has an opposing club been able to
win from them without a struggle.
The coming worlds series between the
New Yorks and the association cham
pions, which will probably be the Brook
lyns, will again put the champions on
the highest pedestal attainable in the
sphere of baseball. The New iorks will
go through the form of playing them, OF
course as that is necessary to obtain the
nominal title and incidentally the cash,
but the Brooklyns will never be in 1t.
