Little Italy Offers Splendid Opening
For the Disease.
The part of Jersey City offering the
most open hearted and cordial invitation
to King Cholera and his Prime Minister,
Typhus Fever, is that portion known as
Little Italy" Fortunately If is only
small section Of the town, but it is big
enough to do vast deal OF harm-and
undoubtedly will-unless the authorities
look to it promptly.
Little Italy" lies between Brunswick
street and the foot of the Hill, east and
west. and between the Pennsylvania
Railroad and Newark avenue, north and
south. 1t is only few blocks. aud such
blocks! What Dudley's blocks Of five were
to political morals, these blocks-and
there are hardly more than five of them
are to the public health. They reek with
fifth, and the stencil that at times arises
in portions of Little Italy" makes the
unaccimated visitor drawn there by
curiosity or business. wish he had been
born without nose. He who has a nose,
as most persons have, Is fain to hold it
until he can make his escape. To make a
thorough and exhaustive tour of Little
Italy" one shonld clasp his nostrils to-
gether with a clothespin. And to be per-
fectly safe he might take the precaution
to stop his ears lest he hear the stenches
he cannot smell. This Is no fancy sketch

REPUBLICANS AT WAR.
The Bergen Club Says it VIII Break Up
the League Club.


the League Club.
The members of the West Bergen
Republican Club, and League Republic
can Club also of West Bergen
are at swords points, and are making
things livelv in that quiet suburb. The
two clubs are fighting each other tooth
and nail and the Democrats in that Sec
tion are enjoying the row immensely.
The trouble began three weeks ago
when Mr.. Monroe Simmons re-
signed from the West Bergen Re-
publican Club and organized the League
Club. The West Bergen Republican
club was organized year ago and took
an active part In the last Mayoralty con-
test. Since then the club has held NO
meetings. and has been practically dead.
Three weeks ago Mr.. Simmons wanted
to resurrect the club and arranged for a
meeting. The meeting WAS held and Mr..
Simmons was present in all
his glory. If there is one thing.
above all others, that Mr. Simmons
whatever organizations he is connected
with. In the West Bergen Republican
Club, however, Mr.. Simmons was
always turned down." and when
he proposed that the club join
the Republican League ne re-
ceived another black eye. This made
him mad. and he at once determined to
get square
He aid so by organizing the Republican
League Club of West Bergen.
He claims that the club has III
members, and says that the other club has
but IS members who are voters. He also
says he is willing to back up these claims
with cold cash.
The members of the old club are mad !,
to say the least, and say they will break
up Mr.. Simmons club.
The officers of the League Club are:-
President, Monroe Simmons: Vice Pres
ident, N. j. Atkinson; Secretary, Mr..
Joseph G. Gale; Treasurer. John w.
Rapp.
lican Club are looked after by the follow
ing offcers:-President, John Wilson;
Vice President. w. j. Henry; Secretary,
Il. G. Stivers; Treasurer, Mr.. Mckenzie.
Tonight the League Club will raise a
banner in front of its clubhouse on West
Side avenue, but the members of the old
club will not be on hand. They received
an invitation to participate in the exer-
cises, but il was laid on the table.
Mr.. Simmons, when interviewed by a
reporter of The JERSEY CITY NEWS,
said:--
"If the members of the West Bergen
Republican Club think tnat
they can break up our club,
they are very much mistaken,
Although organized. butTthree weeks ago
we are away ahead of them in regard to
mbership. They say that we have but
twenty members I will bet anyone of
them $500 that we have one hundred
and nineteen voters on our roll.

more than thirty-fiye voters on its roll.

Whereas. Edward Burd Grubb was lawfully

box suffers and their allies, and
Whereas, the great wrong then perpetrated
cannot be wholly righted until General Grubb
shall be placed in possession of the Office to
which he was elected by the people; therefore
Resolved, That the members of the R. B. Sey-
mour Republican Club of the Third district
hereby pledge themselves to do all in their
power to secure the nomination and election of

Colonel Edward P. G. Lewis, one of
New jerseys notable men. died at his
home, No 500 River street, Aoboken, at
six o'clock this morning from acute heart
disease He had been ill only one hour.
Ali the family we're absent save Colonel
Lewis and his eldest sou, a young ma of
twenty years. The son had been i'll
through the night and the servants had
been up with him. Colonel Lewis was
alec disturbed and rose several times
though the young mans illness was not
of serious character.
At five O'Clock Colonel Lewis called his
valet, Heury, and said he felt terrible
pain in his left breast. He told Henry to
go for doctor.
The family physician. DR. Fisher, lives
at some distance, SO the valet concluded
not to waste time going for him, but ran
across the park to the house of DR.. w. L.
Kudlich, who came Immediately. He
did all that medical aid could suggest,
but human skill was useless. Colonel
Lewis continued to grow worse until six
o'clock, when he died.
Colonel Lewis came of an old Virginian
family, as noted at the South as the
Stevens family, with which he is con-
nected by marriage, is in Hobokeu.
Colonel Lewis was born in Berryville,
Va. in the early part of 1887, and was
HIS early life was passed at the old home
stead, but he came North and made his
home in Hobokeu about eighteen years
ago, shortly after his marriage to a
daughter Of Colonel Edwin A. Stevens.
Each had been married before. Miss

named Garnett. She had two children, a
son and daughter, when she married
Colonel Lewis. He had one daughter

children were born, one son and three
daughters. These children are all living.
Mrs. Lewis and five of the children are IN

broke out they concluded to remain in
Switzerland until the danger was over or
until the end of the warm weather at all
events.
Miss Mary Lewis, the daughter by the
first marriage, is at the old nome in
Berryville. A pathetic incident was the
arrival Of letter from her for her father
two hours after he died.
Col Lewis was twice member of AS
sembly from his district in Hoboken. He
was also minister to Portugal under
President Cleveland. The funeral will
take place from Trinity Church, Hobo

will be another service at the old church
there on Monday, and the interment will
be in the family plot.

Stevens family, will be selected from the
old employees Of the ferry. Coroner
Parslow will have charge of the funeral

TROUBLE FOR REPUBLICANS.

The Negro Contingent Wants Offices
Primaries to Be on September o.
The Republican County Committee met
last night aud fixed Friday. September o,
as the date for holding primaries. The
meeting of the committee was one Of re-
joicing until cloud came over it in the
shape of colored delegation headed by
Dominic Motley and A. B. Casey. The
latter had only last night been elected a.
member OF the County Committee by
Captain John Graham to secure one more
Grubb vote in the committee.
Casey. flushed with his victory, intro
duced his dusky following. Colonel
Murrill, the negro antagonist of E. B.
Gaddis. was the cause of the appearance
the delegation. Complaints had come
the leading colored people that Muir
ril had offered to turn over the delegates
to be elected to prominent Republics
candidate. These dusky voters objected
to being thus summarily disposed IF
without having word to say about the
bargain, and they propose TO make sit
warm for the meddlesome Murrell."
Murrill was present at the meeting Of
the County Committee when the delega-
tion arrived He apparently realized the
delegation was after his scalp and in a
most mysterious manner he disappeared
Motley and Casey made their explana-
tions to the committees concerning MUIR
rll and then said that the colored men in
a number of districts had organized in
clubs and the clubs had formed central
organization of which the delegation
present was committee. appointed to
confer with the County Committee. They
claimed their organization should nave
recognition in the County Committee and
that the colored organizations should
have representation there.
Delegate Williams added to this demand
that the colored brethren were tired of
being spoken to sweetIy before every
election and frowned upon AFTER He
said the cclored people want substan tial
recognition by appointment to office. He
cited Camden, Newark and other cities in
the State where the colored population
get a share of the spoils. aud declared
that those of his race in this city should
be treated in the same manner.
This interruption TO the harmony of the
County Committees meeting was very
unpleasant, but one of tine quick witted
leaders on the committee offered resolu-
tion, which was adopted, that a COM
mittee be appointed to confer with the
committee from the colored organizations
with view to arranging all differences
existing between the two bodies. Tnis
satisfied Motley, Casey and the others for
this present and at midnight the dusky
delegation left for home.
