and in this instance the nomination was
not sought by him but by his friends.
The convention was held in the small
hall attached to Smiths Hotel on Month
cello avenue, and the delegates present
were:--John Burns, John McKiernaD,
Thomas Hughes, Michael Dwyer, James
Moran, Frank Ryno, William Dready,
Martin Depenborch, Robert j. Jacques.
John Hennessey, Jeremiah j. Burns and
Joseph E. Vincent. There were plenty of
candidates for the honors on hand, and
the most prominent ones beside the TWO
who were successful were ex-Mayor Gar
ret ID. Van Reipen, John Kiernan and
Captain Robert Smith.
The delegates were called to order by
County Committeeman Miles McCarron,
and Deputy Surrogate James Lillis was
selected for permanent chairman.
Thomas f. Green accepted the position
of secretary. The first action of the con-
vention was to endorse with applause
the nomination of Mayor Cleveland.
The irrepressible John H. Masker was
out in full force for a denomination tor
constable, but his anxiety was needless;
he had no opposition. The men in the
Fifth like John almost as much as the
girls, and that is an lawful lot"
Without discussion the delegates voted
unanimously to nominate the candidates
already mentioned. as also for Justice of
the Peace, James w. Whelan.
The fortunate nominees were waited on
by committee, and they in brief but
appropriate remarks accepted the honOrs
conferred on them.

AT Bergen Hall last night the Republi-
cans of the Fifth district held a mass
meeting. There were nearly one hundred
persons present. but had it not been made
known that the Evening Journal would
run the meeting more persons would, no
doubt, have been there.
The few were enlightened(?) by Corn
Doctor Pangborn, Justice Chapman,
Chairman Sutherland of the District
Committee, and ex-Alderman Max SaTin-
ger. The speeches were simply appeals
for votes for the various Republican can
didates and Mr.. Perkins in particular.
On the platform were ex-Fire Commis-
sioner Mills, who presided, Max Salinger
and Joseph H. Ward, candidates for Al
dermen; John H. Hopken, j. p Landrine
and George H. Hamlin. Mr.. Perkins
dropped in during the evening, but he
did not create any excitement.
A meeting to ratify the nomination of
Mr.. Perkins was also held at St. Michael's
Institute last evening. Fireworks were
exploded. and Felix S. Brown presided.
Speeches were delivered bv Simon II.
Smith, candidate for alderman, ex-Mayor
Gilbert Collins and q. K. Pangborn. Mr..

MR.. HARNEY'S HASTE.
His Way Of Enforcing a Lease Was
to Smash in a Parlor Door.

Mrs. Drossner, the wife of DIR. Dross-
ner, who lives at York and Grove streets,
complained yesterday before Justice
Lowy that Real Estate Dealer William
A. Harney, who recently figured in the
celebrated Harney-Coney divorce case,
entered her apartments by force on Tues
day afternoon, and insulted her. Mr..
Harvey waived examination.
The Drossners rent their place from
Harvey. The lease expires May ]. 1t
provides that after February The prem
ises shall be subject to inspection. Nu-
merous persons have been sent to inspect
the premises this year
When Mrs. McKigney and her sister, of
No. 243 YorK street, called for that pur-
pose yesterday morning, Mrs. Drossner
says she had her cloak and bonnet on and
was in the hallway going out The doc
tor was not at home. The visitors, she
says, brushed past the servant girl, say
ing they had come to take a look at the
house. Mrs Drossner, with the keys of
some of the rooms in her pocket, walked
out. In the afternoon the two ladies re-
turned. Mrs. Drossner was entertaining
three gentlemen from Brooklyn in the
parlors, and did not see fit to show Mrs.
McKigney and her sister through her
house.
Mr.. Harney, whose office is directly
across the street, then got mad. Gaining
access to the hallway on the first floor, he
raped at the parior door. Mrs. Drossner
Indignantly denied him admission.
Suddenly there was q crash. The par
lor door. spllntered clear down on the
lock side, flew open, and Mr.. Harney, in
all the majesty of his enraged landlord
ship, stood before the group, and with
out removing his hat from his head, de-
manded to know why the lease had been
violated. 1t is more than likely that
there would have been an encounter be-
tween Mr.. Harvey and Mrs. Drossner's
friends had not that lady lnterfered to
prevent such scene.
Mrs. Drossner ordered Harney from the
house, and without waiting for her hus-
band's return, filed her complaint against
him with Justice Lowy.
The doctor declares there is no trouble
about rent, and exhibited to the reporter
the stubs Of his check books showing his
rent paid up monthly in advance.
Justice Lowy says that although Mr..
Harvey has an agreement, the law will
not protect him. He had no right to en-.
force an agreement allowing him to enter
the apartments by force.

BUYING DOUBLE.
An Old Mortgage Forces Farmers to
Pay Twice for the Same Land.


Pay Twice for the Same Land.
Special to the jersey CITY Nesrs.
EGG HARBoR. April 8, 1880. = The
Sheriff's sale of lands in the Germania
District, Galloway, Mulltca and Hamil-
ton townships, under foreclosure pro-
ceedings, instituted by the heirs of
Stephen Colwell, began at Egg Harbor
City yesterday.
This entire tract upon which Egg Har-
Dor City is situated originally belonged
to Stephen Colwell, Sr., who sold the
same to William Schmoele, the founder
of Egg Harbor City and organizer Of the
Gloucester Town and Farm Association.
Schmoele paid part of the purchase sum.
and gave d mortgage of $4,000 for the
balance. The Gloucester Farm and Town
Association laid out the city and farm
district, and sold the land in tracts. realiz-
ing fancy prices through its agents in all
parts of the United States. The associa-
tion collapsed, and in default of payment
of taxes Egg Harbor City and the several
townships sold the land for taxes.
Some farmers having knowledge of
ColwelPs mortgage, obtained release
from him, and Egg Harbor City had its
tax sale legalized by an act of the Legis-
lature. Ii was thought that the tax title
given by the townships was valid because
of acts passed by the Legislature author
izing such sales. These acts have lately
been construed not to defeat the mort
gage lien and the heirs of the Colwell
estate instituted foreclosure proceedings
for the satisfaction of the claim. 1t be-
came necessary, therefore, for all the
purchasers under the tax sale proceed
ings to make their title perfect, to buy in
the land from the sheriff and discharge
the mortgage lien.
The Chancellor ordered the sale to be
made in parcels and the first forty-five
were disposed of Altogether about
journed until one o'clock today, and it
win be continued until all the land is
