candidate and Instantly his name was
taken up by the people from one and OF
the dlstric6 to the other. 1t was impos-
sible to stem the tide and when the dele
gates met in the hall No. 331 Palisade
avenue. Dr. Stout secured the nomiDa-
tion.
Then began campaign of vituperation
literature, on the part of the Republican
candidate. Mr.. Edwards. DR.. Stout was
accused of being friendly to John e.
Dunne. This accusation was a bald
headed lie. and it did not take the people
long to find 1t out Dunno had opposed
Dr. Stout tooth and nail. OF course lie
OF this Kind always reacts, and there was
no exception in this case. DIR. Stout told
MS friends in the district that he was un-
pledged and they believed him and be-
lieye him still.
Or. Stout was born in small town in
Middiessx county in 1916 His ancestors.
as Tar back as he can remember, were Of
oid Jersey stock. In 1867, or when he was
Darely tWenty-one years old, DIR. Stout
located in Jersey City. From 1870 to 1876
ne was county physician and filed the
position with great credit. The Doctor is
married man and his home life is a
happy one. He has two sons, both of
whom are studying medicine in the Col
lege OF Physicians and Surgeons.
You can state to my constituents, :"
said the Doctor to THE JERSEY CITY NEWS
reporter, that am unple0ged to anyone,
l will vote on all measures as my con-
science dictates, and will endeaYor to
leglslate for their best interests"

NEW CITY HALL BIDS.
Many Think the Structure Cannot Be
Built for the Money.

Many Think the Structure Cannot Be
Built for the Money.
The outlook is that there will be some
very lively bidding by individual contrac-
tors on the City Hall work on Thursday
next. Clerk Farrell of the City Hail
Commission and President Datz have
been at thesCity Hall every day since the
advertisement was issued, dealing out
blank forms for bids.
Contractors are submitting low bids
but 1t Is feared that outside Of the piling
work the estimates will greatly exceed
the amounts set aside for the various
branches of the work. A certain sum of
money has been set aside for the ptling
aud this part of the work can
be done within the appropria-
tion. Where the difficulty will arise,
however, is in the estimates Of
the carpenters. masons and plumbers.
A con tractor who intends bidding on the
entire work has said that such building
as Architect Broome has mapped out can
not be erected for the amount of the ap-
proprjation. Commissioner Datz believes
thai the appropriation is sufficient He
will insist upon the specifications being
carried out to the letter and will also see
to it that the building is properly fur
nished upon completion.
The furnishing of the building will
probably exceed $4,000.

In one Assembly district in this cyunty,
in last weeks election, there was man
elected by the Democratic party in spite
Of most bitter and vigorous opposition
waged by the Repub blican nominee. This
district was the old Fourth district now
the Eighth. 1t was only DIR. Srout's per-
sonal popularity that elscted him by The
handsome plurality of 515
Probably every man, woman and child
IN the district knows the rotund and
benevolent looking doctor who has his
once at the corner of Summit avenue
and Bowers street. and yet he is compar-
atlveiy new man" to the city at large.
His patients are all over the Eighth dis
trlct, however, and by his skill ana Kind
ness ne has made myraids of friends
There. For twenty-five years the doctor
has resided in the district, and in that
time he has had a chancesto meet almost
every one In it.
When it became evident to the Demo-

only for man who, they were sure, was
not subservient to any clique, the lead ers
were at sea. At this juncture. Or. Stout

THE EIGHTH JUBILATES.

Grand Parade of Democrats - Every
House Decorated.
Seldom has the old Fourth district been
as enthusiastic as it was last night, when
the success of the Democratic ticket in
the last election was celebrated by q
grand district parade. From the West
Hoboken line to Oakland avenue, the sky
was red with rockets aud colored fire.
and people in Hoboken and the lower
portion of Jersey City thought there was
big confagratiou. Republicans as well
as Democrats buried their animosities for
the time being, and took part in the
general celebration.
To Frederick J. Mersheimer is due a
great deal of the credit for the grand par
ade. He was one of the marshals. and
worked like beaver.
AT eight O'Clock. PaIisade avenue as far
as the eye could reach was one mass of
decorations. Chinese lanterns were hung
across the broad thoroughfare, and pic
lures of Cleveland and Stevenson were
everywhere. Smart New York youths
Went about with tiny brooms, roostsrs
and tigers and reaped a harvest from en-
thusiastic Democrats.
The parade formed on Ferry street, near
the rooms of the Pioneer Association, and
shortly after eight o'clock the column
moved in this ORDER

Fourteen-year-o1d Jennie
Barker Tries to Es-
cape 1t With
Paris Green.
AN OLD WOMAN'S IDLE TONGUE.
The Girls Groans Aroused Her
Mother in Time to Save Her
Young Life.

Fourtee D-year-old Jennie Barker of No.
II Germania avenue. becoming despon-
dent over mean aud false story circus
lated by neighbor, tried to end her
young life early last evening
by taking dose of Paris
green. She is now In the
City Hospital. and her mother, who had
been nursing her since last night, and
who had just returned home from the
Hospital, told reporter for THE NEWS as
| noon, that her child was in a fair way to
recovery. But the mother refused
absolutely to say word concerning the
attempt of the child to take her life.
Ihe family live in row of two story
frame tenement house on Germ aniR ave-
nue., few doors from Newark avenue.
The avenue is sparcely settled. Goats
roam at will about the incompIeted

the vicinity. The grocer, the druggist
and the saloonkeeper all knew Jennie by
sight, and describe her as slender girl Of
| about thirteen or fourteen years old, with
black eyes and black hah her disposition
as alternately lively and morose.
HER EXCELLENT REPUTATION.
AS TO her reputation, all expressed q
Willingness to swear by it, and the gem

chatter of an old woman is Responsible
for the child's effort to take her own life.
Who this woman is could not be ascer4
tanned.
Just let me get my hands on her."
said the indignant mother. But that's
all she would vouchsafe to the reporter.
From bits of gossip picked up in the
neighborhood, it appears that Jennie was
last night sent to the saloon for a pint OF
beer. instead OF going there she took
the ten cents and went to Glackamann'S
pharmacy on Newark avenue. She had
been there a number of times before.
and Mr.. Gluckamann knew her by
sight. When she called for ten cents
worth of Paris green the gentleman be-
hind the counter questioned her closely
as to who sent her for the poison, and the
young girl answered intelngently, with
an accent that denoted surprise at the
question:
why, the tall. stout lady who gets
medicine here for her sore foot (meaning
her mother); she wants it to kill cock

Poor little Jennie. afraid of the finger
OF scorn being pointed at her by neigh
oors and playmates, with her bundle of
Paris green crept softly into the front
room while her mother was busy in the
kitchen, and swallowed lot of the poison
and then lay down on the sofa to die.
Her groans attracted the attention of the
mother, who, when she realized what had
taken place, rushed into the street aud
called for assistance
Jennie's statement made to Policeman
Mcclure corroborates the story.

PASsAlC PAST REMEDY.

Cap Hooker's Sewerage Project No
Longer Approved by Mayor Wanser.
Ever since the idea of acquiring new
and more wholesome supply of water for
this city has been agitated, there have
been numerous suggestions towards that
end. Since the subject has come up ac-
lively. at least hundred plans have been
suggested. Prior to the filing of Chief
Engineer Ruggles' plans. Mayor Wanser
had been inclined to think that scheme
proposed by Captain Hooker was the most
feasible. Captain Hooker is an engineer
OF some ability and accompanying Mayor
Wanser on the regular annual inspection
ne had thoroughly examined things at
Believille. Later. accompanied by Water
INSPECTOR Thomas Leake, he carefully ex-
amined the Passale. He concluded the
water OF the Passaic above the Falls was
clean and sparkling, and that poll ution
began almost Immediately after the water
passes over the Falls.
III fifteen foot sewer we've constructed
he contended, on the Newark side or the
river from the Falls to point half mile
below the Jersey City intake, and into
thls sewer all pollution were to flow, in
SIX months time the water of the river
would be as pure and palatable as any
supply in the State
Yesterday | spoke to Mayor Wanser of
Captain HoOker's scheme and his reply
Was, For time the scheme seemed
feasible enough have given the water
question much time and thought. and
am now of opinion that the principal
end to be accomplished is to do away
Win the enormous expense of operating
the Belleville and High Service plants.
Captain Hooker's plan would not do that
and for that reason alone it is inadvis-
able.
'Again, Newark has secured a new
supply OF water. 1t has deserted the
Passaic. Montclair, Paterson, Passatc
and all of those cities are dumping their
sewage into the river. They do not re-
quire it for water supply. They want it
for receiving basin. and for such they
are now utilizing. Would those cities
now join issue with US, and
bond the mselyes for our benefit? They
would gain nothing by such move. At
one time the scheme would have been a
splendid one, but at present the circum-
stances are such that il cannot De car
ried out. except by Jersey City alone.
Jersey City cannot look to other cities
for relief in the matter of securing sup
ply of water. She must do as other cities
have done-look out for herself.
The Passaic as a source of sup
ply is of the past, and 1t is Il great pity,
because better water is not to be found.
IF the river could, however. be severed
the desired relief would be given us, but
now It can never be done. The expense
would be enormous and by far too great
for one municipality to undertake. There
would be miles of sewer to build.
Land upon which a great
value has been placed would
have to be condemned and the
benefits we would derive would not
justify the outlay. The only way now to
secure a supply Of water is by gravity"

COAL COMBINE SUITS.
More Delay Aszed-ClarI Thread Works
Escape Taxes.


Escape Taxes.
Special to The Jersey Cttv Netcs
TRENTON. Nov. Is. 1892.-A motion was
made in the Coal Combine suits, This
morning, extending the time ten days, SO
that additional affidavits can be fled in
the Lehigh Valley case. Another con-
ference will be held this afternoon.
The opinion of the Supreme Court in
the case of the Clark Thread Works
against the inhabitants of Kearny Tow n
ship. which tested the tax asse ssmenr
against that company, decides that the
tax must be set aside. In 1891 their val u
alton was increased from S475, 600 to
5000. 900 by the County Board of Equal
izatton. This raised the tax OF the town
ship from $29.256 to s43,SS3. The
contention was that notice should
have been served on the parties whose tax
rate was raised. No attempt was made
to do this. The board claimed
that was not necessary under
an act passed In 1873, but
another section says it Is necessary, so
that errors can be guarded against. As
no notice was given, the assessment is set
aside.
|fhe same conclusion was reached in
the case of the Mile End Cotton Compan ny
against Kearny. The decision sets asi de
an increase of $25, 900 in violation.

Cream was quickly placed upon the
flooring of the scaffold, and the
moose was adjusted about his neck,
1t did not take long to
prepare him for execution, and in a few
minutes the hangman drew the bolts and
Cream fell the full length of the rope, He
died quickly and with only few spas
