HOBOKEN'S ELECTION.
A Water Commissioner and Four
Councilmen TO Be Chosen.

Judging from the lack of interest dis
played among the citizens of Hoboken
one would scarcely believe that there was
to be any election this spring Neverthe-
less. a Water Commissioner and four
Councilmen are to be elected. Last night
the Democratic City Committee met. and
It was thought that call for primaries
would be issued, but the Committee ad-
iourned without taking action.
Henry Hirtler is theWater Commission
er who goes out He was appointed 10
fill the unexpired term of William j.
Winges, who resigned Mr.. Hirtler Is
wealthy pork merchant and does not care
for the office If contest must be made
for it. 1t is understood, however, that he
has agreed to accept the Democratic NOM
ination. which will of course insure his
election.
CoUNCILMANIC VACANCIES.
In the First Ward Councilman Joseph
Weinthal's term expires. When Council
man Boncelet died special election Hu was
held to fill the vacancy and Mr.. Vein,
thai, who was the regular Democratic
nominee, was elected by handsome
nlurality. Councilman Weinthal hae
been active in the Democratic party fos
wears, and is a prominent member
of the County Committee. he mar
won the applause of the citizens os
the ward he represents by his vigorousf
and thus far successful, attempt to secure
an appropriation for q primary school in
the ward. Mr.. Weinthal will be renom-
mated beyond doubt. and the probabill-
ties are that he will have no opposition.
In the Second ward Councilman Henry
Timkeus' term expires. Mr.. I1mkeu Is
one of the brightest members OF the
Councii. and he can have renomlnation
If he desires it. He declares that he does
not care for the Office. but his friends are
nr1inp him to accept denomination.
IF MIR Timken persists in his determin-
alton to decline denomination Fire
Tommissioner Henry Stegman will re-
caiva the regular Democratic nomination,
md will be elected probably without OPP
The term of Councilman Timothy
Keliv expires in the Third Ward. Mr..
KelIy is young man with host OF
friands in the ward and although he has
incnrred the enmity of few OF the
leaders it is probable that he VIII be re-
nominated. The only name mentioned
besides Kelly in connection Win the
nomination is Antony Capelli, an Italian.
n Capelli should capture the Democratic
domination and Kelly should run on
netition. Capelii would be badly beaten.
In the Fourth ward the term OF Coun-
.;iman Harry" Snyder expires.
Harry is very popular and will be re-
mrned

Police Authorities.

Driving Piles Under Surveillance of the
Police Auth horities.
A gang of workmen are still employed
driving piles for the Eighth street sewer
extension through the land which the
Erie Railroad Company Is filling in for
additional yard room. The gang is under
police surveillance.
The Street and Water Commissioners
some weeks ago stopped work upon this
extension ana forbade the railroad COM
pany to construct other than an iron pipe
sewer.
Commissioner Dugan, however, gave
the company permission to go ahead
with the spile driving. as they will be
necessary to prevent even pipe sewer
from sinking into the silt at the bottom
of the slip.
The contract for erecting an extension
to Pier No. 2 will be given out Monday.
1t is proposed to extend it one hundred
and ninety feet, making it six hundred
feet in length,
The slip ON the north side of the grain
elevator has been dredged so that large
grain carrying ships can get clean up to
the bulkhead of the pier 1t is said this
has been done mainly in the interest Of
the Monarch Steamship Company.

Had Been Cured Several Times of the
Liquor Thirst.

Liquor Thirst.
Special to the jersey City Neios.
MAYS LANDING, March 5, 1Ss2.-The in
quest into the death of ex-Assembly,
man and ex-Congressman Stephen
7. Hopkins, the supposed victim
of the Keeley gold treatment,
whose body was found in the swamp
near Pleasantville last Thursday, was be-
gun here this morning. A new York
lawyer was here to claim the body. The
evidence pointed to suicide.
1t is learned that about year ago Hop
kins was an inmate of the Binghamton
Insane Asylum. He was discharged from
there on January II. 1892 and on January
81 he went to the Kelley Institute at
White Plains.
After his discharge from the Keeley
Institute as completely cured of the
liquor habit" he went to Atlantic City to
recuperate.
The last seen of Hopkins at Atlantic
City was on the Wednesday night when
he went into grocery store and bought
some cigars.
That he had begun drinking again
seems to be pretty conclusively SHOWN by
the finding OF the empty whisky bottle
near his body.

Breadstuffs, 24S,O0O tons; meat, 11s, 100
tons; salt, 14,793 tons; dry vegetables,

$40 tons; straw, 6S,s94 tons, and oats,
50,052 tons. These supplies, costing
about 500, 900, 900, would, in case of an
other siege, be served out to the retail
tradesmen, who would each be held re-

department that all of the plans have
formulated and that it is intended to
make the collection as complete as
possible in every respect. Everything
will be displayed, from the fruit trade
down to the most ordinary manufac-
tured articles. For example, the fiber
industry will be thoroughly explained,
the cocoanut tree and articles manu-
featured from it, such as the nuts,
mating. scrubbing brushes, the new
material which is used instead. of cot
ton waste, and everything else that can
be obtained of like character. In ad-
dition to showing the samples of man.
ufactured articles, such as pottery,

be placed on view in the hope that
capitalists may be tempted to invest
their money in the country. The ad-
visibility of having an afternoon
coffee" two or three times a week in
the Jamaica court has been suggested,
making it sort of rendezvous where
West Indians could drop in and sit
down and drink Jamaica coffee with
their friends Lectures or talks may
also be given. Every district on the
island is being carefully examined, and
everything which can show its products
and resources will be. displayed.
