The Newark Leader Not Rival of Gov
ernor Albeit for the Senatorship.
Special to The jersey City Nsros
NEWARK, Nov. 10, 1892 92-James Smith,
Jr., sat alone last night in the library of
his home in Washington place waiting for
the nightly rush of Office seekers and
political friends. He laid down an even
ing paper, calmly lit a fresh cigar, and
did not seem to be at all surprised or dis
turbed when his first visitor, u reporter,
fired at him point blank and at short
range this leading question:
Mr.. Smith, are you q candidate for the
Office OF United States Senator?"
Mr.. Smith smiled softly. "Would MT
you rather know something about the
leather business. the city's water supply
or something else more interesting Just
now than politics?" he asked.
He was informed that the United States
Senatorship cut larger figure in pub
interest than either water or leather, and
that there We're good many stories going
about in which he was represented as be-
ing Leon Abbett's rival,
"Well, Said he, after few moments of
reflection, II will answer them. am not
a candidate for Senator or any other
office, nor have been aud never expect
TO be.
He spoke slowly and delibe rately, as il
he desired in few words to head off
every possible flight of Imagination, ana
having disposed of the entire matter to
his own satisfaction, he turned the con-
versation to q variety of other subjects.
Mr.. Smith holds one Office now. He is
a member of the Newark Board of Works.
1t is known, however, that his resigna-
tion from that Office has been for several
weeks in the hands of Mayor Haynes.
Mayor Haynes will probably make up
his mind pretty soon to accept the resi- e
nation. Mr.. Smith only went into the
Board to help give the new machine
good start on clear and well defined lines.
Everything has been arranged in syste-
matte order. and Mr.. Smith considers
that there Is no longer any reason tor him
to remain in the Board to the detriment
of his personal affairs.

A WE'LL KNOWN CLUB MAN.
George j. Medo1e, p rominent in Repub
iican Organizations.

George j. Medo1e, p rominent in Repub-
Iican Organizations.
George J. Medole is well Known in this
city and the fact that his wife has secured
Il divorce from him on the ground set out
in the above despatch will be surprise
to many. He is prominent Republican
politician, and an officer of several of the
organizations of that party. He ran for
Assembly in the Fourth district on the
Republican ticket last fall and
was defeated by Patrick II. O'Neil.
He is Secretary of the Union
League Club and has always taken an
active part In the social and political
affairs of that organization. He was a
member of the committee which made
the arrangements for the reception and
entertainment of Mr.. Whitelaw Reid
when he visited this city during the late
campaign. He was one of the club mem
bers who met Mr.. Reid in New York and
escorted him to Jersey City.
HE ESCORTED REID AND EGAN.
Mr. Medole WAS else en- the committee
which arranged the reception which the
League gave to Patrick Egau, United
States Minister to Chilli, ana on that oc-
casion acted as Mr.. Egan's scort from
his hotel in New York to the club house.
Mr., Medole is, furthermore, an active
member of the Lincoln Association Of
this city, and has always taken promi-
nent part at the dinners which the asso-
citation gives each year. Mrs. Medole is a
daughter Of ex-Freeholder Hutton and
has been a resident of Jersey City for
several years.
1t has been an open secret for some
time among the immediate friends and
neighbors Of the Melodies that there was
trouble in the family. 1t was noticed
that the husband and wife were estranRed
and there were rumors about that Mr..
Medole neglected his family, and even
went SO far as to treat his
wife cruelty. That an action for
Medole however was not generally
known. The bill was filed by ex-Judge
E. T. Paxton in the usual way, aud Mr..
Medole made no answer nor put in any
defense. AS is the practice in such cases,
the Chancellor referred the matter to a
Master In Chancery to have the truth of
the allegations OF the complainant's bill
inquired into.
WITNESSES E xAMINED.
Mr.. Isaac Romaine was the NJ aster and
he examined three witnesses:-Mrs.
Medole, her aunt, Mrs. Mary Hutton and
the detective. Mrs. Medole swore to the
date OF her marriage, and the formal al
legations of the BILL and also to finding
her husband and Alice Atchinson to-
gether in the fat house in New
York. Her aunt ana the de-
tective corroborated the latter part
of her testimony. Upon this evidence the
Master made report stating that Mrs.
Medole had proved her charges, and adj
vising that decree OF absolute divorce
be granted. AS the Chancellor always
signs DEGREES when advised under such
circumstances by the Master, Mrs Medole
will be free from her marriage bonds in a
few days.

religious instruction, and will rapidly
Amerlcanise themselves and their chill
dren, and will put an end TO the scandals
that are now SO frequent, where the
Church property is placed In the hands
OF foreigners, that have no knowledge of
the genius or the institutions OF the
country, or its Church. This will
bring their children under the inf uence
OF our schools and not leave them to grow
up as discordant foreign element of
Amerlcan-born citizens, as many of them
are now becoming through the influence
OF foreign priests, who use this means Of
penetrating their present occupation.
"These national churches, and other
reasons that l may mention hereafter,
are driving many of our children not
only into The public schools. but even
away from the Church. There are in
sSances where whole families would have
been driven out of Ithe Church, or at any
rate out OF their own diocese-if they
desired to receive the sacraments-had
not their pastor resorted to extra ordinary
means to save them.
HIS OWN EXPERIENCE.
My own experience is this:-If parents
were permitted to send their children to
the public schools after they had spent a
certain number of years in the paroch1al
schools, and received proper religious
training and all the instruction that our
average parochial school can impart, we
can secure nearly every child in the
parish; but, if we never sanction their
going at any age, very many parents will
never send them to us at all; and thus
we have a generation of Catholics that
will eventually influence the country
against the parochial school. l know
full well from experience the truth of
what am / saving. The modus vivendi
must be encouraged, II we wish the
Church to enter into the life of the
nation. The edog-in-the-manger policy Is
not the policy of Rome"

CHICAGO. Nov. 10, 1S92.-For over
thirty-six hours not a click has been
heard from the telegraph instru-
ments connecting Chicago with all
that section of the Northwest having
St. Paul and Minneapolis as centre.
The only way those cities could bereached
was by way of Omaha. Ogden. Utah; San
francisco ana Helena, Mont, and back.
The storm started in with a heavy
wind and rain, and the rain suddenly
turned to snow, about a foot fall
ing through Western Wiscon-
sin, Northern Iowa and Southern
Minnesota. The rain froze on the tele-
graph wires making them useless. The
wires were broken and telegraph poles
are down in every direction. The fall in
temperature was very sharp.
A smash-up occurred ON une Chicago,
Milwaukee and st, Paul road, but no
lives were lost.
Tho extreme north of Minnesota and
North Dakota are reported to have
a storm all together, but
it ragged with greatest violence
through Central Iowa, where 1t has been
impossible TO get single dispatch into or
out of any town between here and Coun-
Gil Bluffs.

LUCKY REPUBLICANS.
Trenton Council Organized by the Demo-
Gratis Alone.

=
crsts Alone.
Special to The Jersey City Neacs.
TRENTON, Nov. 49, 1S92-The Repub-
lican members of the Trenton City
Council refused to take part in the
meeting last night. and the Demo-
cratic members, having a quorum,
transacted routine business. Last
year the LEGISLATURE passed law which
reduced the numb Der of Councilmen from
three to two in a ward. The Republi-
cans, believing the law unconstitutional,
at the charter election elected the third
member, and they were refused seats in
Council.
A suit was begun in the Supreme Court
by Henry Bennett, testing the law. Last
week Il decision was rendered in his favor;
the law was held to be special and the
eleven Republicans entitled TO their seats.
The Democrats have appealed to the Court
of Errors. The Republicans hold that
they are entitled to the seats pending the
termination OF the matter in the higher
court. Should they be seated it would
give a majority to the Republicans.
A supplementary order was issued stay
ing the writ of the Court. which prevent
ed the eleven members taking their seats.
1t is to be argued on Monday
next. The Republicans hold that
Council is not properly or
ganized without them and Jha5 all the
legislation of the democratic Council is
Illegal. They now refuse to be a party
to any of the transactions of the Illegally
constituted council aud will remain away.

Band and Fife and Drum Corps headed
the procession, which was led by large
squad of police under command of Ser
geant Barney Wade. All the members
of the Association carried canes with tips
pointed skyward, with small flags floating
therefrom. Jere. Maher marshalled the
parade. Several prominent members
rode fn barouches.
The parade moved to Newark avenue,

Oakland avenue and was dismissed.
Allan L.McDermott's house in Pavonia
avenue was brilliantly Illuminated from
garret to basement. Colonel Browns
cottage In 'Court House square" was
profusely decorated with flags and Ian
terms. But the joke was concerning the
illumination (or rather the non-illumina-
tion) of the Federal Club building in
Willo W court. Early in the evening a
man began lighting up the lanterns
strung in front of the building. Alder
man Duse nberry stood in the doorway
looking on. 1t looked as If The Federal
Club, following the example set by Presi-
dent Blair of the Union League Club.
Flavel McGee ana other leading spirits,
proposed to illuminate. But half an hour
later not only were the lights put out,
but the lanterns themselves were pulled
in.

10 FORCE ERIE TO ELEVATE.

Property owners north of the Erie Rail-
road tracks are organizing new associa.
hon for the protection of their interests.
Mr.. John Casey is at the head of the
movement and his aim is to have the Erie
Railroad elevate its tracks from
the river front to the tunnel.
Counsellor w. H. Corbin has
been engaged as counsel, and petition
IS now in circulation asking the Street
and Water Commissioners to compel the
company to raise its tracks.
The move meets the approval of every
property owner In the locality, and a
hard fight will be made. The great loss
of life and Inconvenience to traffic caused
the step to be taken.
