MR.. TANGEMAN.
OF the character of Mr.. John H. Tango
man, Mr.. Fagan's probable opponent,
nothing harsh can be said. except that he
is a republican, and this means a great
deal in H%oboken. Mr.. Tangeman was
born In Germany. and. with his parents,
i'll 1S4S. came to this country. The family
took up their residence in New York. In
1865 they removed to Hoboken. Mr..
Tangeman acquired his education Ia the
and Jersey City. In 1855 he
engaged in farming for four years.
He returned to New York, and secured a
position in the commissission cellar of
Elsey & Pope, New York. His industry
and fidelity won for him the confidence
of his employers. and after a few years
In 1865 Mr.. TanReman married Miss Mar
gueri:e Engleman, of Hoboken. Five
children have blessed the union. Mr.
Tangeman ives q member Of the Hoboken
Board of Education from 1880 TO 1883. and
In 1881 was a member Of the Assembly.

Mayor Ellis will be the Democratic
nominee for Freeholder in the Ninth dis
trict, while Simon Kelly, he of Weehaw-
Ken. will lead the democrats OF the
Tenth Freebooter district to- victory.

Simon's victory loss OF that "pul" which
has 20 long characterized his career. AS
n Freebooter he will be forced to enter
deals, and all those who In the feast have
favored him as King of Weeha vixen. will

HOW CHILDHOOD VIEWS DEATH.
1t is an Unreal, Strange Thing-What 1t
Cleans From Books.

1t Is an Unreal. Strange Thing-What 1t
Cleans From Books.
"Have'you heard about Allie Burns?'
NO." she answered, "what about
hims"
He's dead" said the news-bearer. "He
wasn't at school yes~terday-and he died
this morning"
So the Strange Thing came among
them into the school Romano ng the
forms and desks aud bait cred books,
making itself In an unreal way as real as
the ink stands and slate pencils. 1t had
come to Allie Burns, with his little oIdi-
nary face and lank hair. and yet 1t still
remained impossible. 1t had come to Alae
Burns-but it could not come to any of
the rest of them. Somehow he must have
been different" He was 'delicate" and
different" now, and seemed impossible,
too. There was a curious intense craving
for detail among the older ones. Every
one wanted to know hOW he had died.
and If he said anything. In the books of
memoirs the little boy or girl always said
"last words" which were a sort of fpal
scriptural or instructive effort. They
were usually like this:
'Father," said James, between his
paroxysms of agony, try to be a better
man that you may meet me in Heaven"
Brother Thomas" said Mary Ann,
family, do as mother tells you and obey
your Sabbath school teacher.n4
.'Please do not swear any more, Uncle
William Henry" said little Jane, as her
mother wiped the death damp from her
brow. II shall be in Heaven In a few
minutes and want you to come"
Remembering these things one won
dered what Allies ''last words'' had been
1t would have seemed almost impossible
that anyone could die without last words.
Wicked people al ways expired in frightful
torment, using profane language or crying
for mercy or writing with remorse be-
cause they had moi been better before
they were taken i'll. Alfie had been a sort
of indefinite, insignificant little boy. He
was not naughty, but his goodness had a
passive negative quality, and he never re-
proved or instructed anyone. SO it was
difficult to adjust ones self to the situa-
ton, and imagine how the Strange Thing
would find him when it came.-MrS.

fudge Lippincott this morning rem
dered a decision in the cases of Frank L.
Clark and James S. Southland
against the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company thu complainants
recently brought suit against the rail-
road company for damages to the extent
OF $4,000 each TO property situated on
Railroad avenue. The complainant set
forth that he company in ele-
waiting its tracks either demolished
their buildings or rendered them useless
for rental or other purposes. The COM
pany through Vreden bergh & Care tson,
its counsel, opposed the suits aud moved
to have them stricken from the calender
on the ground that the elevation was
made OF the strength of Il contract en-
tered into between the company and city,
and that, therefore, it was not in
damages done to the property held
by private individuals along the
line of elevator. Judge Lippincott
decided that the rights of individuals
were equal In every instance TO those of a
corporation and that the cases should re-
main or the calendar and be tried.

NEWARK, March IS, 1898 .-rhe Demo
cratic primaries for the spring election
will be held Monday night, and the con
vention on Wednesday night. The can
didates have gone to work with renewed
| vigor.
In the First, Patrick Luptcn is conceded
to hold the fort in the Freeholder nomin
alton and William Harrigap in the Alder
manic light. In fact there is no fight at
all. Lupton's career in politics, short as
it is. has satisfied the people of the old
Twelfth. AS to Harrigan's Aldermanic
record, the friends of the old man keeI
their index fingers pointed 10 iG in all
arguments. They say he has looked after
the district with his German friend. AL
derman Roehrtoh, like a cat watches over
a mouse. Harrigan is elated over the
public park bill, which he has interested
himself in for the reason that he desires
to have some money appropriated for a
pNDlic park Down Neck" His bill for
the intercepting sewer il the east end of
the city is to benefit the health of his CON-
stituents across the railroad. Harrigan
has SO many friends there that he likes to
see then healthy and happy.
When asked IL he was an Aldermauic
candidate or would be nominated, Har-
rlgan said: THAT remains with
turn to Council. all right. But they are
the judges,
The republicans are pursuing waiting
tactics down there, and ii Harrigan is
nominated they may put up Hefnkel.
The latter has a "bar'l," or rather, keeps
his factory full OF "bar'ls." He mann
lectures barrels and repairs Them.

terday that it was used without his con-
sent. and that he is not a candidate.
The young men in the district want
Charles Reilly, ana so do The old men
VINO knew Mr.. Reiliy's father.
Captain John j. Berry is conceded to
the Third district. but his friends are not
allowing that idea to keep them from
working quite as hard as ever for the pop
ular City Hall q
In the Fourth district, Daniel Lynch Is
being opposed only by Prosecutor Crane
and a saloon-keeper. 1t Is said that the
Prosecutor Is q good-hearted man and
sympathetic withaI. and would undoubt-
eddy be for Lynch but for the stories told
him and Misrepresentation made. He
ia certainly not SO vindictive as some
wish to make him, and If people knew the
true situation, they would turn out to a
man for Lynch.
Skipping the Fifth, which Is Repub-
lican stronghold, the Sixth affords au-
other walkover for Owen A. Cahill. He
is the individual the voters of the Sixth
require. In The Seventh a German will
get the nomination.
Gottfriedk rueger is said to be out for
Cornelius Leary for F~reeholder in the
Eighth district, and that means election.
The Ninth is a Republican stronghold.
In the Tenth district, scompri Using
Orange, South and West Orange, a D emo
cratic Freebooter will be elected. The
lucky man will most likely be William
b. Hamilton.
