place the name of John W. Murray Of
Union upon the electoral ticket in place
of w. S. Cham berlain, who was nomi-
mated for Congress on Saturday, and the
name of John I. Blair in the place of
Frederick Frelinghuysen. who is Ma
tional Bank director. The rest of the
time Of the meeting was spent
in figuring out majoriries for
Mr.. John Keap, Jr., and Herbert
Potts. Everyone about the headquarters
who has authority to speak. says that the
party has abandoned all hope of carving
the State for H arrison ard Reid, aud that
all efforts will be directed toward elect
ing John kean and a majority of the
members of the Legislature.

J. Il. SIMS DOWNFALL.
Arrested in Pittsburg for Assaulting
Child-His Career Here.

Arrested in Pittsburg for Assaulting a
Child-His Career Here.
A genuine sensation has been created
in the lower portion Of this city by tine
announcement in Pittsburg paper of
the arrest in that city of J. H. Sims, for
merlv the Assistant Superintendent of
the Pullman car service. The charge on
which Sims was arrested was assault on
seven year old child,. and it occurred in
Pittsburg tenement house. The child's
father attempted to shoot Sims. When
arrested Sims demanded an immediate
examination and when required to fur
nish bail offered check on the Pullman
Company, which subsequently proved to
be forgery, aud he was also held on that
charge, and he is now in the Pittsburg
jail.
Little else has been talked about in the
vicinity of the Pennsylvania Railroad
depot and Taylor's Hotel for the past few
days but Sims arrest, and many are the
stories which were told to JERSEY CITY
NEWS reporter this morning about his
pranks in this city.
THE ACCUSED MAN
Sims came to this city from the West
about ten years ago and assumed manage
ment of the local service Of the Pullman
Company. He was q small, thin. wiry
man, with plenty of nervous energy ana
had the unbounded confidence of his en-.
ployers. With his wife, who is said to be
most estimable woman, whom he met
and married In the West. he went to live
in good style at No, 81 Duncan
avenue. Sims drank heavily and the
married life of the couple was unhappy
and some months age they agreed to
separate Sims debauches were the talk
of the Pullman employees and everywhere
wonaer was expressed that he held his
position.
About year ago he was missed from
his Office at the depot. Nobody appeared
TO know wnere he was. The Pullman
company sent detectives In search OF him
but they failed to locate him. Some of
his frieds declared that they saw him in
the Tenderloin precinct in New York and
that he was drinking heavily. After be-
ing away about month he returned, aud
everybody expressed surprise when the
company re-engaged him.
Or late, Sims has not been seen about
jersey City. He boarded on Wayne
street Immediately before leaving here
He did not tell any one as far as is known
where he was going. and the first that
was known Of his whereabouts was when

THAT LOVELY CARPET.

Aldermen Don't Want Mere Clerks to
Spit ON It-As to Pawnbrokers
Alderman Salinger presided over last
nights session of the Board of Aldermen.
A resolution proposed by Alderman
McEntee and adopted directed the Tax
Commissioners to keep their CLERKS within
the space allotted to the use of their
Board.
MY reason for Offering this reselu-
ton" said Alderman McEntee, ''is to
keep the tax clerks off this new carpet
What satisfaction is there in fitting
up this room and then having these clerks
expectorate on the carpet and in other
ways mar its beauty?"
Alderman McCoobery endeavored to
secure the passage of his pawn
brokers' ordinance, but failed. II
requires that every pawnbroker be-
shall deliver to Superintendent Smith
a list of all property taken on deposit or
purchased. and a description of the per-
son leaving or selling it. Another pro-
vision prevents the redemption of pledged
goods within twenty-touY hours.
Alderman Salinger stated that he
thought parts of the ordinance illegal
aud it was laid over.
In future the street south of
Ferry street and a continuation OF
Ogden avenue, will be known as Ogden
place. The Alderman sanctioned the
change last night.
Six liquor licenses were granted, seven
teen transferred, twelve trade licences
were granted. four to Americans and
three tc iunkmen.

CRONHEIM'S SPITE.
The Hoboken Dive Keeper Wants
His Rival Shut Up Too.

Siegfried Cronheim, the Hoboken
theatrical manager and ex-convict, is
after the scalp of Robert Gantzberg, the
Washington street concert hall proprietor.
Cronheim claims that he is nearly bank
rupt since he was forced to give up the
Sunday business.
While serving his recent term in
prison, Cronheim was informed that
Gantzberg was running his place as
usual, with no police interference. This
berg's place was the vilest dive of any he
ever came in contact with. and was run
in loose manner aud patronized only by

Gantzberg saw Cronheim and his

SENATOR BLODGElT IN LINE.

He Says He Will Do All He Can For the
Success of the Whole Ticket.
Things were exceedingly lively around
the headquarters of the Democratic State
Committee this morning and it looked as
though the cam paign had taken a sudden
squirt. The force of clerks were
busy directing and shipping documents.
Among the campaign ammunition recent
ly received is a new Iithograph of Grover
Cleveland made from his latest photo
graph. Senator Blodget was in the city
this morning. He made most enconr
aging report of the situation in Monmouth
county. The wild tales of dissensious in
the Democratic ranks. which the Repub-
cans are building SO much upon, are all
gorgeously nued butterflies. The party
is united, and Monmouth will roll uD a
large majority for the State and National
ticket. The Senator said that he would
do all he could for the success of the tic
ket and he will make several speeches
during the remainder of the campaign.
Another visitor to headquarters this
morning was John Kelly, brother-in-law
running for Assembly in Burlington
county, to succeed Harry White. the
brilliant young lawyer, who, while insane
from the effects of the grip, committed
suicide last winter. Mr.. Kelly said that
Republican affairs in Burlington were in
QeploraDle conQlblon. Inc SeweI and
Anti-Sewell factions were waging a war
in which no quarter was shown, and the
indictions were that Judge Werts will Sc
cure large majority in the county.
Barney" Ford, the popular Superin-
tendent of the Capitol at Trenton, also
called at headquarters. Mr. Ford is one
of the best Informed men on politics in
the State, and he said that there was no
possibility of the Republicans electing
their electors or Governor. or securing a
majority in the Assem- bly,.
William Pintard of Red Bank, who
headed the committee that notified Judge
Werts of his nomination, also brought
encouraging reports of the situation in
Monmouth, to headquarters this morn
ing.
Secretary Mexican was busy at the
headquarters of the Democratic Society
preparing fer the great Democratic day
which is to be celebrated by all the clubs
in the State on October g. Mr.. Mexican
is also perfecting plan for reaching the
voters of the agricultural districts which
are remote from the centres where meet

WHISKY AND WAR.

Complicated Assaults Growing Out of
Casey's saIo ON Sale.
Thomas Hartaett. bartender for
James Casey. proprietor OF a saloon at
Colgate and Second streets was prisoner
before Justice Allen last night, accused
of carrying concealed weapons and
threatening the life of Contractor John
Nolan. Hartnett was held in $500
bail for the Grand Jury. Hartnett's
arrest reveals a peculiar story OF In
gratitude Some months ago Mr.. Nolan
started James Casey. his brother
in-law, in business at Collegiate
and Second streets. Casey prespered. but
at every turn disregaroed Nolan's wishes.
Mr.. Nolan had introduced Casey to Lem
beck and Betz and had arranged matters
SO that Casey could get liquor on credit
and incidentally secure the loan of money
with which to cash customers checks.
Casey finally offered the place for sale.
AS Mr.. Nolan was 5000 out of pocket, he
demanded mortgage upon the saloon.
This Casey gave him. Then trouble began
Casey, 1t is alleged, beat his wife until
Nolan interfered. Finally Oscar Kreig,
agent for the Lion Brewery purchased
Casidy's saloon on the opposite corner for
$3.50 and placed it in Casey's hands.
On Monday evening trouble arose be-
tween Casey and Mr.. Nolan. Hartnett
interfered. Thomas Featherstone also
interested himself in the quarrel and
Hartnett, drawing revolver, threatened
to shoot Feal herstone, who pounded him
on the head with club numerically un-
til Mr.. Nolan interfered. Nolan took the
club from Harrnett. and for his action in
endeavoring to quiet the trouble was
chased by Hartnett, revolver in hand,
into his home.
Mr.. Nolan at once secured Hartnett's
arrest: Yesterday morning Hartnett set
upon Mr.. Nolan again. A fghb ensued.
in which Hartnett was worsted. Last
night he caused Mr.. Nolan's arrest on q
charge OF assault. He is held in $500 bail.
Casey has also assaulted Mr.. Nolan and
his arrest may be caused.
