POLITICS IN HOB0KEN.
The Charter Slate All Ready for the
Voters.

The Hoboken end of the slate for the
coming election has already been decided
upon. Freeholder Ellis, who is popular
with the people he represents, will have no
oppo No one has yet signified
their willingness to test the popularity of
Recorder McDonough, and he will be re-
elected. Water Registrar Lohman will
be renominated. For FreehoIder in the
new Tenth district, Simon Kelly, of
Weehawken, seems to have the backing
of the leaders, but Councilman
Timothy Keily's many friends are
urging him to get in the race.
"Patsey" Londrigan says that If
Simon Kelly is the Democratic candidate,
he will accept the Republican nomina-
ton and rely on his friends to elect him.
Councilman Joseph NJ. Weinthal of the
First Ward has made an excellent repre-
sentation and will have no opposition to
a reelection. Councilman Timken does
not desire a denomination and Henry
Slegman will probably fill his place.

THE SINKING FUND BILL.
Said to Be for the Good of New
ark-Local option.

The introduction of Senate bill No. 2S
by Mr.. Hudspeth, the object Of which is
to wipe out the present Jersey City Sin k
ing Fund Commission. is causing much
speculation among city officials. The new
bill provides that the Commission shall
consist of three members. to be appointed
by the Mayor, while the Mayor and
Com ptroll er are to be members ex-offic;o.
Printed copies of the bill have not as
yet been received in this city, and as a
result officials mostly interested in 1t are
unwilling to discuss it. They want to
read it first and know W hat they are talk
ing about.
1t has already been intimated by gen.
tlemen we'll posted in such matters that
the bill is intended to specially benefit
Comptroller James Connolly of n ewark.
Corporation Counsel Edwards last night
said that no change was needed in Jersey
City. The present Sinking Fund Com
missioners, Jacob Ringle, James G.
Hask!ng aud Alva Bedell perform their
duties satisfactorily. and that is all that
is necessary. Mr.. Edwards also contends
that Comptroller Hough is now virtually
member of the Sinking Fund Com mis-
sion.
President Edelstein, of the Board of
Finance. who has apparently read the
bill, thinks it good one and hopes that
it will become law. He favors having
Mr.. Hough made a member of the Com
mission.

PHILADELPHIA AND SEASHORE.
Pleasantvilie Fears That Pennsylvania
Will Buy and Close the Road.
L.. Ara.u

Pleasantville Fears That Pennsylvania
Will Buy and Close the Road.
Special to the JERSEY City Netcs.
PLEAsANTvILLE. Jan. 90, 1S92.-The
residents along the line of the Philadel-
pha & Sea Shore Railroad, which is soon
to be sold, are very much worked up over
the proposed sale owing to the report that
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company are
negotiating for it.
The construction of the road was begun
about May l, 1889, and the stockholders
were mainly from South Jersey, with a
big percentage of farmers. The roads
route was from Sea Isle City to Winslow
junction from where the main line of
Philadeiphia and Atlantic City Railroad
makes its South Jersey connections. The
right of way was given free, and most OF
the stock subscribed was by those along
the line of the road, who never once re-
ceived dividend on their stock.
Over 81 COO. 900 has already been spent
on the road. At various times the work
was stopped by the non-payment of saiar-
les due to the laborers, and since 1890
very little has been done to complete it,
owing 10 litigation between two parties
of the stockholders.
The money realized by the sale of the
line will be paid to the laborers and for
the material used in It's construction.
The people living along the line are
fearful that the Pennsylvania will buy or
get control of the line and close it up.
The Pennsylvania has road to Sea Isle
City. Both the Cape May and Philadel-
phia and Sea Shore Railroads will be sold
to the highest bidders in the Camden
Court House Oh February 10.

.HOV'S This DR.. BURNS?
Serious Statement About
Stableman Roberts
Death.
H0RSEMAN WEBB'S TESTIMONY.
Had to Pay $25 Down and Time
Was Lost That Might have
Saved the Mans Life.
IORsEMAN WEBB's TESTIMONY.

At the Assembly Rooms in Hoboken
last night Coroner Parslow and a Jury
commenced an inquest into the death of
Andrew Roberts, the Quit enberg stable
boy who was stabbed by John Baylis, an
9th, stable boy. Some of the testimony
adduced places DR.. Burns, Union Hill
physician, in an unenyiable light, and
Coroner Parslow said hard things about
the doctor and has subpPnaed him.
George Webb, who said he owned
several horses running at the track, tes-
titled that Roberts was employed by him.
He was an inoffensive lad. He then told
the story OF the affrav as it has al ready
been told in The NEWS After Roberts'
wound mad been crudely dressed witness
ran to the office of DR.. Burns. but the
doctor refused to nave anything to do
with the case unless he was paid S2o on
the spot. Webb told the doctor that he
would pay the mouey. but could
not pay it at the moment. DR..
Burns still refused to accom-
pany Webb unless he was psid the
S25 advance. Webb went back to the
drugstore. The wounded man was then
unconscious. Webb pulled Il heavv gold
watch from his pocset. and the druggist
advanced him S25 on it.
Webb again visited the doctor, and,
upon the receipt of the money, the doctor
condescended to attend the wounded
man. He bandaged his wound and adj
vsed his immediate removal TO st.
Mary's Hospital. Hobokeu, which was
done.
Several witnesses corroborated Webb's
statement.
At st. Mary's Hospital the attending
physicians say that prompt treatment
which would have stopped the flow of
blood would have saved Roberts life.
DR.. Burns will be given an opportun-
ity to testify at the continuation of the
inquest on next Wednesday night.

NEW CITY HALL SITE.
President Edelstein Says He Dined
Well in Trenton.

President Pearson, OF the Board of City
Hall Commissioners, and President Edel-
stein, of the Board OF Finance, were i'll
Trenton yesterday endeavoring to bring
about the passage of the bill which is to
permit the issuing of about $3.50, ,000 worth
of more bonds for the erection of the pro
posed new City Hall.
The efforts of the gentlemen were to all
appearances not verv encouraging as
President Edelstein had nothing to say
of the subject last night He seemed
very much impressed with the fact that
he had been able to secure q good dinner
in Trenton, and preferred speaking OF
that rather than of the City Hall bill.
The same gentlemen intend making an
other trip 10 Trepton next week, when
their Efforts will probably meet with
more success.
