ANOTHER CENTRAL FUSS.
New Jerseys Reading Annex in
Serious Danger of War.

There was an air Of uncertainty about
the yards of the New Jersey Central Rail
road at Communipaw. All the freight
had been dispatched except the second
section of the fast Philadelphia freight
and five drill engines were busy making
that up.
The freight agent at the yard said that
he expected some New York Central
freight to come over from New York on
the Heats which arrived at the yard
about two o'clock this morning to be
going or coming from he would not say.
The float men and freight handlers de-
clared that II there was any New YORK
CHnUraI freight on the floats they would
not handle il.
The Knights of Labor who are en-
ployed upon the road held n meeting be-
hind closed doors in Schweiller's HaIl. on
Johnson avenue, this city, last night.
They refused to diyulge any of the pro-
ceedings, but one who is in a position to
know whereof he spoke said that the men
resolved TO go out at nine o'clock Monday
morning unless the company acceded TO
certain demands of the men Another
report said that these demands were that
the road should neither receive from
nor deliver to the New York Central any
freight From another source 1t was
learned that the men had resolved to 20
on Monday on sympathetic strike.
EveryEhsnE was quiet at the Lehigh
valley fyefghC yard, and matters were
moving along as usual. The officers of
the road say that they anticipate no
trouble, as but few of their men are
knights of Labor, and If those should
strike their places could be readily filed.

WASHINGTON, Aug. o, 1890. Congress
man McAdoo came to the front this
week on the fight over the deficiency APP
preparation bill and in the debate said
some things that did not by any means
please Mr.. Farquhar, of New York, and
resulted in making Wednesdays session
lively. When the clerk of the House had
finished reading this paragraph, For
payment of special deputy marshals at
Congressional elections, being de-
ficiency for the fiscal year 1883, $34, 745,
Mr.. McAdoo moved to strike ont the
last word.h His reason for doing this, lie
said, was because the law had been mall
administered and to show this he read an
extract from one of Senator Carlisle's
speeches delivered when he was a mem
Der of the Forty-sixth Congress, in
which he denounced the outrageous
processes by which the law WAS admins
tered in New York. particularly in May,
1873, when John l. Davenport caused one

birth. who held certificates of natural

CENTRAL VERY UNEASY.

Although the West Shore Railroad
which has its terminal at Weehawken.
has not yet been tied up, I am convinced
from close observation and from hints
dropped occasionally by the employees of
the road that tie-up is close at hand.
Ireached Che depot at about half past
four o'clock yesterday afternoon The
st. Louis limited passenger train was
just being made up. This train is gener.
ally made up of two coaches, sleeper
and a Pullman car. but last night two extra
coaches were added, and the train had
full quota of passengers. 1t could be seen
at glance that the tie-up on the Central
had an effect on the traffic Of the road, as
each boat from Jay and Fortg-second
streets carried crowds to the depot
Several train hands, who were discuss
ing the situa ton on the STATEN platform,
were gruffly ordered off by the station
master. This and other signs made me
believe that there was a sort of squally
feeling prevailing among the officials.

The freight yards were as quiet as q
cemetery. This road does very little
freight business and only few handlers
were lounging about. Two railroad de-
tectives were also in the yard.
1t was thought that there weuld
be trouble on the freight train which
leaves for Albany at half past eight
o'clock every night. and there pr obably
would have been had any Central freight
been shipped. AS it was, the train was
made up as usual No effort was made
to carry anything for the Central. The
train moved out on time, and there was
not the slightest sign to indicate that it
would not reach its destination.
Down to q late hour tonight no definite
trouble of any sort arose.

LABOR'S PARADE.
The Annual Holiday Will Be eele-
braled with a Big Procession.

There viii be single and undivided
parade in this city by the united trades
and labor organizations on Labor Day, as
was forcshadowed by The SUNDAY MORN
ING News in a. recent issue. Trades
unionists and Knights will march to-
gether this year as they did last. But
there will be more of them; in fact it is
expected that the number in line will be
twice as large as on the last anniversary.
The shortness of the march. it is be-
lieved, will draw many.
There will be no lack of music for the
workers to step to, as the Building
Trades Council has seventy-flve pieces
engaged, while the Jersey Association
will have two brass bands for Its Iegions.
John Callahan, of the Building Trades

whIte's Jer.ey oity Career.

Henry 5. White was at one time resi-
dent of York street, in this city. He first
studied medicine, but afterwards decided
to turn his talents to the practice of the
law. But he was and is a man of large
wealth and had no need to give attention
to business, and so he never confine
himself to practice.
Some years ago Congressman Harden
bergh had Jersey City made 8 port of
Custom House district, and the New York
collector was given the appointment of
an assistant collector in Jersey City. The
salary was 50, 500. The duty was the labor
of collecting the salary.
Henry S. White was the first man to
hold the new place. He held it with be-
coming dignity for year or two, and
then General SeweIl had him displaced
for Asa w. Dickinson, now of the law
firm of Dickinson & Thompson, of this
city. That made White mad. lie vowed
eternal vengeance against the Republican
chieftain, pulled up stakes here and re-
tired to his handsome residence ON the
banks of the Shrewsbury at Red Bank.
There he had as little TO do as he had
here, and he spent his time going around
among the boys and making himself
solid with them. He is the kind OF fell
low to win ones good will, and Sewell
made up his mind that he would make
peace with him. So when they met as
delegates at the last Republican national
convention Sewell made ovortures to
him, they patched up treaty and White
has been an enthusiastic Sewell man
ever since.

SEWELL SCORES AGAIN.
His Man, H. S. White, Made United
States District Attorney.
Special to fle SUNDAY 1forniaa Nelos.

NEWARK, Aug. Q, 1s90.-"If I can get
the Presidents ear for about fifteen min
utes will have this question settled one
MARKS made by Attorney General Miller
to Congressman Lehlbach and Frederick
S. Fish at Washington yesterday
The Congressman and the ex-senator
had been urging the Attorney General to
appoint the latter or some other Newark
lawyer United States Attorney for the
district of New Jersey, in preference to
William j. Sewells candidate, Henry S.
White.
Mr.. Miller evidently caught she Presi-
dents ear and the matter was settled, as
the announcement of the appointment of
the Red Bank lawyer was made yester-
day afternoon.
The selection strengthens the conviction
long formed that the Camden chieftai u
has in his hands the distribution of Fed
eral patronage in New Jersey.
1--WE may growl all we please,o re-
marked Republican today, but Sewell
is always master of the situation. Every
kick made by Essex Republicans further
demonstrates our weakness with the pow
ers at Washington.
The names OF j. Frank Fort and r.
WAYNE Parker, of this city, were for
warded to Washington about the time Mr.
Fish was first recommended. 4. friend
of Mr.. Fort declares that the ex-Jndge
would not accept an Office under this Au-
ministration, and did not consent to have
his name proposed for the District Attor-
neyship. His experience in the Solicitor
Generalship matter had satisfied his am
bilious spirit.
While Essex Republicans were holding
conferences and railing against the Adj
ministration, few were aware that County
Chief George A. Halsey had penned to the
Red Bank lawyer an endorsement of his
candidacy. Mr.. White wrote to Mr.
Halsey asking for his endorsement, it
seems. 1t is said that the latter sent q
letter and telegram to Washington in
Whites interest
How is it that Mr.. Halsey endorsed
Winter" a Republican politician was
asked.
''lhat can easily be explained he re-
piled. Mr.. Halsey may not be enam-
ored of either Sewell or Hobart. but he
prefers either to William Walter Phelps
Probably knowing that White would be
appointed he thought it good policy to
endorse his candidacy. Any measure that
would make Sewell's influence appear
great must necessarily have the effect of
lessening Phelps strength
Mr.. Halsey is out of town, and Mr.. Fish
will leave the city today for rest and rec
reation.
