Superintendent Elliot Says That
Trouble Never Comes Singly
Even With Gas Companies.

The United Gas Improvement Company
struggled with numberless difficulties
yesterday and last night. They had ex-
pected TO have the usual pressure Of gas
for their customers, but the fates were
against them. At seven O'CLOCK last even

barely flickerlng, but about an hour
later they began to improve and steadily
grew better. The merchants in the bust
ness districts aided the gas with lamps
and candles to illuminate their stores.
All recognized that the company was do
ing the best it could under the circum-
stances and no one was inclined to growl.
Superintendent Elliott was not sparring
in his efforts to straighten out the tangle.
Ifound him last night at the office of the
United Gas Improvement Company in
Montgomery street. He was intently
watching the dozen or more Pickering
gas jets that partly illuminated it.

machinery at the Lafayette Works got
cranky just after it was set IN molten.
Misfortunes never come sfngiy, and to
add to the unpleasant predicament which
yesterdays fire placed us In, the day has
been an Intensely dark one There has
been more gas consumed 10 private houses
and business places today than was con-
sumed all of Wednesday night. compared

are hard at work trying to put the ma

turing gas, though, at the works i'll Sixth

present pressure on during the balance OF

At this moment one of the clerks an

want more pressure said he.
Well, we can't do anything at present
for them, " replied the superintendent.
At the works in Sixth street a score of
men vera hard at work amid the debris
of yesterdays fire. 1t was dangerous
work, too, for the great masses of debris
formed from the fallen roof were sus-
pended above their heads. The big engine
was fired and the machinery shook the
building The prospect of a further

ton uncomfortable, the rain was beat

penetrated through the mass of debris
above. Yet the men were working away
more by the light of bonfires over which
hung pals filed with gaseous looking
fluid tnan by the aid of lamps. Men with
bars Of iron heated to cherry red rushed
hither and thither, spikiug and boiling

THE TICKET In HOBOKEN.
Bright Outlook for the Election Of
All the Democratic Candidates.

On next Tuesday the people OF Hoboken
will elect Mayor, City Treasurer, Water
Commissioner. four Councilmen, four
School Trustees, Tax Commissioners.
Commissioners of Appeals and Justices
of the Peace. From the present outlook
the Democratic party will score a signal
victory.
For the Office of Mayor there are three
candidates. Edward K. Stanton has the
regular Democratic nomination and the
endorsement of the Republicans. Pat
seyn Londrigan and john H. Tangemann
are Independent candidates. Stanton's
election IS conceded on all sides. He is
supported by the best element Of both
parties, and bets are made that he will
get 500 more votes than the other two
candidates put together.
For City Treasurer, James Smith, the
present efficient incumbent, has no oppo-
siton. William J. Winges has only nom
iuaI opposition in the person Of John Reid
for Water Commissioner.
In the First Ward there are two candi-
dates for Councilman. Councilman Be-
wig wants another term and he has the
regular nomination of both parties to
back him up. Micheal Byrnes is the
other candidate. Byrnes is very popu-
lar man and will poll good vote, but 1t is
thought that Bewig will win. Henry
Hess, Tor School trustee, has no opposi-
ton.
In the Second Ward Councilman Erlens
koetter and School Trustee Guth have no
one to oppose their reelection.
In the Third ward VIII be Waged the
hottest fight in the city. There are four
candidates for the Council. G. j. Tahen
is the regular Democratic nominee; john
r. Ravens is the Republican candidate.
There are two so-called independent can
didates, John b. Acker and James
Roarty. They are traitors to the Demo-
cratic party, and are in the race to defeat
Mr. Tahen. Their purpose is too trans
parent, however, and all good Democrat,
will rally to Mr.. Tahen's support For
School Trustee Abe Sandford will beat
John Schwinge, the Republican candi-
date.
In the Fourth ward William Fenton. q
popular young man, has both nomina-
tons for the Council. He is opposed by
Isaac Ingleson. Fenton, 1T is thought.
will win easily. George Gebhardt, the
candidate for School Trustee, has walk
over.

Crescent Lawn Tennis Club.

The regular senii-annual meeting of
the Crescent Lawn Tennis Club was held
on Friday evening at the residence of
Mr. Walter G. Muirheid, No. 2S1 York
street. President Coleman presided. For
some time past there have been rumors
OF complete change in the man
agement of the club. and conse-
quently the attendance was very
large. After the regular business of the
CLUB was conducted, Mr.. Manton made a
motion that the old constitution be abol-
ished, and that another be put in its
place, the new constitution providing for
a Board of Governors consisting OF eleven
members, who will have absolute control.
This would therefore abolish thu present
offices Of president, vices president, secre-
tary and treasurer, and place the power
in the hands OF the Board of Governors
alone. The motion was lost. and after
much unnecessary discussion the meeting
adjourned. There is much hard feeling
among the members of the club, and II is
rumored that new organization is to be
started

TROUBLE IN BELGIUM.

Hundreds of Thousands Attend the Suf-
 frage Meetings in the Large Citios.
 LONDON, May 11.-Thirty-eights suffrage meetings were held yesterday in Brussels and other cities of Belgium, and the at tendance numbered hundreds of thou sands. Many of the speeches made were of the most violent character, the speak CTS urging that the working people must at any hazard assert their right to a share in the government.
 The upper classes were warned that their oligarchy was approaching a close. and that nothing short of universal suf- frage, promptly granted, would be likely to avert & revolution.
 A Socialist orator in Brussels asserted that the day was not far distant when royalty would he brought down as it had been brought down by the French revo- lution, and that the bayoness employed to prop up t'rones would be turned against those who sat on the thrones. These ut terances were enthusiastically applauded.
 At Ghent, where the suffrage agitation has heretofore been comparatively un- demonstrative, the people assembled in thousands, and in such a threatening manner as to call for the interference of military and police to prevent rioting. In Antwerp, Ghent, Liege and Charleroi, as we'll as Brussels, the garrisons were kept ready for instant service and the DO lice were reinforced by gendarmes.

 WASHINGTON, May 11.-The sailing in- structions of the revenue cutters Rush and Bear have been mailed from the Treasury Department to San Francisco.
 The special instructions to agent Stan ley Brown and Williams were mailed to Mir. Williams at his home in Ohio on Wednesday last.
 MT. Williams, who sails by the Rush, has, it is said at the Treasury Depart ment, already left for San Francisco, and will arrive there in time to leave on the Rush on Thursday the 14th inst. Unless there is some unexpected delay the mailed sailing instructions will also arrlve Thursday morning.
 Supplementary instructions, which cannot now be determined on, but which may assume shape after the receipt of certain despatches from the British Gov ernment, which are awaited, will be tsle- graphed from Washington by Thursday in case they can be accumulated in time. Otherwise the Rush will touch at Port. land, Oregon, or Seattle, Wash, and re ceive the supplementary orders.
 So far Secretary Foster declines to divulge the nature of either the sailing or other ins tructions.
