Councilman Francois in West HO-
boken-Mayor Conway in Union
Hill-NOles.

The result of the election in the First
ward, in West Hoboken, is being dis
cussed all over the town. In all its parts
it is peculiar. Dick Francois, ex-Assem-
blyman. who was elected, gained his vic
tory by only seven votos. The votes were
not all counted until ten o'clock We'd
nesday night and everyone in turn was
certain Tuesday that Buntin, who Was
defeated, would be elected. Francois.
who Will sit in the Council. is
opposed most unalterably TO the present
complexion of the West Hoboken police
force. He believes they carry on with
too high u hand and do things to suit
themselves, and the future meetings of
the council will be very interesting.
Hitherto the councilmen nave been like a
happy family, but hereafter Francois will
make himself heard if he does nothing
else.
Mayor Conway and Rapid Transit.
The defeat of Mayor Conway in Union
Hill is explained in various ways by Union
Hill politicians, and there Is a rumor
about which cannot be traced that his de-
feat WAS owing to the iabors of the North
Hudson County Railroad. At any rate
the Council at its meeting after che cleo
ton ave the company privilege
to lay tracks all through Union Hill.
QGn tn6 COLupduy uOeS us IL says.
Union Hill will have as good railway fa-
~cilities as this city and Hoboken. Elec-
trio road will run from the Fourteenth
street ferry, Hoboken, to Bergenline ave-
nue. and Lewis street. An elevated rail-
road from Forty-second street ferry
through all parts OF the town, and horse
car lines will increase the value of real
estate on Main street, Fulton street, Pail
sade avenue and New York avenue. AL
together Union Hill people say If prom
Uses are kept the towns growth will be
phenomenal.
Notes.
Annie Brewer and Mary Feener. two victims
of alcoholic Establishments. were picked up on
Bergenline avenue by Policeman Feeny last
night. They are at the disposition of the Re-
corder.
There will probably be a quarrel at the meet
ing OF the Commit ee of the Whole of the West
Hoboken Council tonight The Fire Trustees
will attend to listen to the Councils project for
the removal OF the old tower and bell. The Fire
Trustees think they were sighted in the pur
chase Of the new bell and they will probably
make tonight's session interesting.
Policeman Tiernay of Weehawken arrested at
the West Shore depot last night, William Fowler
Of Newburg, who had left The town with $3.50.
the property of William Hart, his employer.
Fowler said the reason he had taken the money
was that Hart had not given hun q square meal
in two weeks, He was willing to go back with
out q requisition, and will probably leave for
Newburg today.
The Board of Fire trustees OF Union Hill have
elected William Fuller Fire Chief for the ensuing
year. Mr.. Fuller is we'll known to everyone in
Union Hill and has served q long apprenticeship
in the department.
The police of Weehawken. who have long been
troubled with complaints from the Erie Railroad
people about juvenile coal thieves, yesterday ar
rested six boys, all under fifteen years OF age,
tor stealing coal from the cars in the yard. The
boys all gave false names and protested their
Innocence. They were held for examination.
