NOT TO RETIRE MURPHY.
NJ. MuIlone's Bill Will Give Chief
Donovan, of Hoboken,
Pension.

When Mr.. Mullone's billretiring Chiefs
of Police on half ply after twenty years
OF service was introduced in the Assem-
bly, it was assumed by many citizens
to have beeD introduced in the interest of
Chief of Police Benz Murphy, of this
city. Enquiry last night brought the in
formation that the bill was designed
mainly TO provide for the retirement of
Chief Of Police Donovan. of Hoboken,
who has served faithfully as Chief of
Police of that city for the past twenty
three years.
THE LAW OF THE CASE.
The bill is found, upon examination, to
provide THAI in any city Of this State the
Chief of Police of any city who shall have
honorably served as Chief of Police in
such city for period Of twenty. years and
upwards, may, upon his application in
writing TO the Board having Charge of the
Police Departments of such city, be, by a
resolution unanimously adopted by all
the members of the Board, retired and
dismissed from the department on half
pay, etc.
The present law says any police officer
who has served twenty years and who is
fifty years old may be relieved upon half
pay upon his application TO that effect.
SO that the change made by MullOne' s
act from the present law is merely as to
the method OF retirement.
Chief of Police Murphy has yet to serve
as chief nine years and a halt more before
he can be retired under its provisions.
Chief Murphy has served but ten years
and q half as chief.
He wears three stripes on his sleeve, in
dicating that he has been on the force for
more than fifteen years. He has served
on the force seventeen years.
He is forty-five years old, and under the
present law must serve five years more
before he can take advantage of Its pro-
visions
So long as he continues to be physical
ly competent to fulfill the duties of his
position he cannot retire till he is sixty
years old without making application for
retirement
NO IDEA OF GETTING OUT.
III conversation yesterday the Chief
said
Il have no idea of retiring. So long as
am able TO fulfill the duties of the Office
l do not propose to retire on half pay
while can draw the full pay,
He referred to the attacks the Jersey
City annex of New York paper has been
making on him, and said that as usual it
is away off the track
So far as its attacks upon me are con-
cerned, y he added, you may state that |

pickering with Elizabeth. Mr.. Marsh re
Gently introduced bill in the House for
the purpose of reducing the number Of
Aldermen of Elizabeth. The bill. how
ever, was SO framed that it applied to
every city in the State, and it is claimed
by the Newark members that if it became
a law it would give the Republicans in
the Newark Board power TO gerrymander
the Aldermanic precincts again to their
profit.
The bill enacts that any city of the State
State by majority vote of the Common
Council so create, recreate or readjust
the wards so that each shall not contain
more than 800 votes. Each ward may
elect an Alderman and there shall be
elected a Couneilman-at-La Large, who
shall vote only when the Board is tie.
Under the present state of affairs Eliza
beth has twenty-four Aldermen and she
wants to reduce the number to Y. If
the bill should become law it
would give Newark about forty Alder
men, which, at an annual salary of $3.50
each, secured BY the law passed by this
Legislature, presents a prospect which

amend his little bill considerably or con-
semitic see it killed to satisfy Newark

has wrecked SO many similar measures

and it seems impossible to make them

ners on the Board, two Of whom shall be
homeopathic and the new school demand

kalisch at first conceived the idea of two
Boards OF Examiners, one to consist of

supposed to be, solution Of his trouble a
delegation of eclectics swooped down
upon him and calmly wanted to know

characterized the relations of the two
schools. will probably be the death of the
measure.

POLITICS IN H0B0KEN.
Those Who Are Mentioned for Can
didates at the Spring Elections.

It is probable that at the coming cleo
ton in Hoboken the Democrats viii elect
the most Of the regular nominees. The
offices to be voted for are Assessor, Col
lector of Revenue and, in each ward. an
Alderman and School Trustee. On
Wednesday night tiae Democratic City
Committee will meet at CoyIe's Hall and
issue the call for the primaries The
primaries will be called for on or about
the 24th, and the convention viii be held
within week OF the primary election.
Thus far there has appeared no serious
opposition to the reorganization OF Asses
sor Dollard and Collector of Revenue
Thomas Bowes, although at one time
Thomas F. Hatfield was a formidable
candidate for Assessor His recent ap-
pointment as librarian of the Free LIB
rary at q salary of $4,000 per annunl has,
the contest.
In the First ward Director-at- Large
Bruggemann does not desire reEomina-
ton to the Council Peter Boncelet aud
William O'Donnell have been mentioned
to succeed him There are three aspiF-
ants for the School Trusteeship. Hicks,
Barrett and Lehman with the chances in
favor of the former.
Councilman Thinker is willing to be re-
turned in the Second ward, but A. Steg-
man Is hustling for the nomination
against him DR. Salonstahl is also men
toned as candidate. Henry Hirtler
win probably receive the nomination for
School Trustee This ward is German
stronghold, and party lines generally go
for naught-
In the Third ward a red hot time is an
ticipated. There are any number of can
didates for Alderman. The present IN
cumbent, Councilman Timothy Kelly,
desires denomination His principal
opponents for the regular nomination are
School Trustee James lawson ana Daniel
Mccarthy. Among others who would
like 10 be addressed as Alderman are
Messrs Fusel, Won Dreel and Roarty. but
rhe fight Will undoubtedly be between
the three first named
Frank La Pointe. 4 well known Eores-
ter, is hustling for the nomination OF
School Trustee.
From present appearances Councilman
Harry Snyder will have walk-ever IN
the Fourth ward, although il any popu-
lar young man would run for the Office
he would make Snyder run.
George Gebhardt viii receive the regu-
lar nomination for School Trustee. The
name of James F. Harmon was at one
time mentioned, but it is said he has
withdrawn.
The Republican City Committee VIII
meet at Trautwein's tomorrow night and
will issue a cali for primaries to be held
on the twentieth. Who the candidates
may possibly be cannot as YET be learned.
but no serious opposition TO the reg ular

expected that several of the Democratic
nominees will be endorsed by the Repub-
licans.
