SCANLAN WAS IN This.
More About the Fl. u 5 the
Mayors Government
Have Just Reward
ed Him for.

The gross defiance of public sentiment,
of which Mayor Cleveland's Tax Board
was guilty in the appointment of Jim
Scanlan as an assistant clerk. is arousing
attention on all sides. He, it will be re-
membered was the election clerk in the
Fourth precinct Of he Second district,
where the grossest OF the election frauds
were committed in the most high-handed
manner
The polling place was in No. 8 engine
house on Henderson street, and the
scenes that were enacted there on cleo
tion day are well worth recalling in view
Of this disgraceful appointment.
Il appears That for several years back
John Kane has acted as clerk in this pre-
cinct. He was young man above re-
proach and did his responsible work well.
But he did his work TOO honestly and at
the last election he was asked to do some
work which would compromise him and
he refused to do it, and John Mullins
was appointed clerk.
He acted in that capacity on the two
registry days, but on election morning
when ne showed Cd for duty he found
that James Scanlan had been sworn in.
He protested but it was of no use, and
ScaDlan acted as clerk.
About ten O'Clock ON election night
counted, a signal was given aud the
clerk declared recess Of an hour. Every
body in the room where the counting was
going on protested against the recess,
when suddenly Policeman Donovan, who,
it is said. was acting under orders,
snatched up the box, while Scanlan took
the books and went upstairs There WAS
howl Terry Mcdonald, who had been
there himself, knew what was to be done,
and he started to go upstairs. but was
unceremoniously hustled down with no
gentle force.
Then, while Policeman Donovan stood
guard, the box was being fixed. The
protests of the citizens were laughed at
and no redress could be had. There was
not even an excuse advanced why the
box should be taken upstairs. The box
remained upstairs until half-past one,
just three hours an half, affordin g
ample time for the gang to get in is
work, when the box-it might have bee n
another box--was taken down stairs nd
the farce of counting the ballots resume d.

MIR. NOONAN ROBBED.

But He Wouldn't Have Been Mad If
They Hadn't Left the Window Open.
Burglars entered the house on Prospect
avenue occupied by Assistant Prosecutor
Joseph NJ. Noonan and family, last night,
and secured haul of silver ware.
Mr.. Noonan said that he heard
someone walking through the house
about three O'Clock in the morning, but
thought that it was his brother, who lives
with him This morning when the sery-
ant went to the basement she discovered
the house had been robbed aud the silver
stolen.
Mr.. Noonan was very indignant when
told of the affair. He declared that he
did not care much about the loss of the
silver, but he thought the thief was con-
temp tibfe, for he left the window open,
and thus offered inducements to other
thieves to help themselves.

Before Judge Barrett, in the Court of
Oyer and Terminer. New York, this
morning the conspiracy case against

advice to the better classes to unite their
forces in municipal politics. We must
throw to the dogs our petty partisanships
and jealousies If we would gain victory
over the unscrupulous ring that has
cursed this city SO long and has
grown increasingly defiant. Divid-
ing our forces into separate
camps and lashing one another, while the
common enemy IS left to plunder and
deyastate the land, is the acme of stupid
ity. What we need in Jersey City today
is great non-partisan movement, which
shall include the better elements Of all
parties, and induce them to nominate and
elect none but men of integrity and high
standing in the community. l believe
the time is ripe for such movement.
The opportunity is ours Shall we inn

KARDELL'S TURN NOW.

The Policeman Who Beat Rag Picker
Gets Taste of His Own Medicine.
Cries of ''Policer' "Murderi' attracted
the attention of Chanceman Kardell while
he was patrolling Clinton street, Hobo
ken, yesterday afternoon. Kardell is the
officer who was recently suspended by the
Chief for beating an unoffensive Italian
but was recently reinstated by the Com
missioners. With club in hand and blood
in his eve, the chanceman repaired to the
house No. SO Clinton street, from which
the cries proceeded. He found poor
old woman with her head terribly bat :
tered and big Strapping fellow standing
close by. A young woman lay in the cor.
ner of the room crouching with fear.
The officer learned that the big brute
had been beeting his wife and moLher-in-
law, and he woald perhaps have killed
them il the officer had not arrived. When
the women were asked to make a COM
plainG they refused, and the officer
started to leave the room, when the big
fellow jumped at Kardell- and throwing
him to the floor kicked him unmercifuily.
He then threw the officer downstairs.
Kardell was sorry sight when he
landed on the street. He looked as if he
had been pulled through threshing ma
chine Policeman James Kerrigan hap
pened along at the time, and going back
into the house, quickly subdued the fight
ing proclivities of the wifebeater and
Brought him to the station house fol-

THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.

1t Is Doing Noble Work in the Lower
Part of the City--TweIve Baptisms.
To those who are inclined to take
pessimistic view of the spiritual outlook
of Jersey City, it must have been very
surprising to see the crowds that gathered
at the First Baptist Church yesterday,
both morning and evening. and ESPECIALLY
in the evening-wh the editice was
filled This church has always been in u
very prosperous state, and perhaps never
more so than at present.
The Rev. DR.. Parmly, now the pastor
emeritus. has been permitted to enjoy
very successful pastorate of nearly forty
years and now it must be very gratifying
TO him to see his labors continued by so
energetic man as the Rev. Mr.. Steel
man, his active successor in the pulpit.
There is no doubt that lower Jersey City
has changed in respect TO its resident
population, for there are more people there
today than ever before. They need the
gospel preached to them, and it seems
that Mr.. Steelman is peculiarly fitted for
the work.
For six years he labored by the side of
the Rev. DIR. Judson in New York city
and he is filled with his spirit.
1t is pleasant to learn that this church
numbers 525 memb. ). 1t has Sunday
school of 600, with an average attendance
of 400, and an infant class of 200. In adj
ditlon to this the church sustains branch
at Lafayette, with Sunday school of $50,
and holds service there every Thursday
evening.
Last night twelve persons were bap-
tised at the close of the service.
