HOBOKEN NOTES.

The citizens will not have chance to
vote on the Alderman-at-Large measure,
as the Democratic Committee has de-
cided not to print the clause on the
tickets.
Mayor Stanton has decided to appoint
Gustav Hauser, Fire Commissioner;
Patrick Hayden, Police Commissioner.
James w. HarKsen for Commissioner of
Assessments, julius Schlatter, Library
Trustees, aud John Talon, Health Com
missioner The patronage committee of
the City Committee did little kicking,
but everything has been amicably ar
ranged.
The few Republicans in Hoboken are
in a ludicrous dilemma. Realizing the
hopelessness Of their chances they agreed
in several instances to endorse the regu-
lar Democratic nominees for the usual
consideration. The Democratic candi-
dates, however, have been instructed
by the Democratic Comittee to allow their
names to be printed on Republican bal
lots. The reason for this is because the
leaders want to learn just what the Re-
publican vote in Hoboken amounts to-

Lulu Willis, of No. 1855 Linden avenue,
Greenville. a sixteen-year-old colored girl,
has been missing from her home since
st. Patrick's Day. She visited friends in
Bayonne. where she was last seen in COM
pany with George Short. colored resi-
dent. The Bayonne police arraigned
Shorts sister, Mrs. Ben Par
ker, and Thomas Van Buskirk,
before Judge Besher this morning in an
effort to discover the girl's whereabouts.
George Short did not appear. Both
parties claimed to know nothing of the
affair further than having seen her leave
with Short for the horse cars to Green
Vile. The case WAS adjourned until
tomorrow when the police hope to have
Short under arrest.
The opinions of those connected with
the affair is that the dusky Luhs has
eloped with Short, who was much In
terested in her.

Dickinson was not slow to follow it up.
The use of these men for anv other pur-
pose than that for which they are en-
ployed, is in direct violation OF the law.
and If such plan is put into operation
the courts may be called'upon to investi.
gate the matter. But, of course, the
Federal Courts could alone take cog
nizance, and they are all controlled 10y

Mr.. McDermott remains at his home
and attends to mis- private business, as II
nothing unusual was going on around
him. He is the most unconcerned candl-
date imaginable. His past record he
stands on. He feels confident that 1t will
carry him to victory. He enjoys the dis
comtiture of the Republicans, and merely
remarks. II am sorry for them, and
especially for Wanser."

sixteen months. The application of the
same rules which made this reduction
possible might pe made with consider
able benefit to future reduction. My
financial views may be all vagaries. but
the fact remains that that reduction of
$747, 200 is the only one made IN the debt
of Jersey City from 1870 until collections
came in under the Martin act. There is
no fiscal year. from 1871 to 1888. except
those in which was u member OF the
Board of Finance. where the debt of Jer-
sey City does not show an increase over
the preceding fiscal year.

chair was used.
AT l0:35 the witnesses went into the

the then went in the adjoining
room to examine the switchb board.
The current was first turned on battery
OF twenty lamps to test it. The lamps
glowed. The electrician then fixed the
leg pieces and wet the forehead sponge.
At 1o;40 Warden Brown told those pres
ent that they must remain quiet. At 10:42
the Warden asked If all was ready. The
answer was, "All ready"
The Italian priests came in praying.
CotLo repeated the words after them. He
did not struggle while being strapped in
the chair
At a quarter to eleven the current was
turned on. Cotto was thrown upward,
and fell back in the chair with dull noise.
The leather band that held the upper part
of the face to the chair. slipped down and
exposed the eyes and nose. The face
turned a dark purple as also did
the skin of the right leg, on which
an electrode had been placed
twelve seconds. The doctors then pro-
nouDced Cotto dead. There was nothing
