Appeal at the State Con-
yenlion.

The annual convention of the State
Ffremen's Keller Association will bs held
GU Wednesday next at LsmbertyilIe.
The Jersey City Association will send a
full delegation, SIS a matter OF much inn
portance to Jersey City will be brought
up Tor discussion and will In all proba-
bility cause a lively time. The delegates
VINO will represent the. Jersey CITY
Association are: Chief Conway.
Chief Denmeaa. Thomas Holmes, Frank
Cleveland and James Holmes.
The matter that promises to cause such
a lively time is the till of 5000 which
Lawyer Cotter of Newark has filed
against the Jersey City Association. Cot
ter is the counsel of the State Associa-
ton, aud as such receives a salsry of
$1,000 per annum. When the Jersey CITY
Association was reorganized a little over
8 year ago. aud the many charges OF
mismanagement were made regarding
the appropriation of finds. repre-
seutatives of the association called
upon Mr.. Cotter to investigate mat
ters. The members OF the associa-
Ton naturally expected that his SER
vices would be fres as ne received
a yearly salary from the mother associa-
ton and said nothing to Cotter about
paying for services when he came on
from Newark where he has his Office.
Cotter Strengthened out the affair after
a few days work. and the members uly
thanked him for devoting his services TO
the matter They little dreamed that ne
would charge themR snug sum for his
work. Imagine their surprise then when
he presented to he association a pill for
$500. The members were staggered, to saw
the least and they unanimously decided
not 60 pay it. Among the items In the
bill is one for $40 for coming from New
ark. All the other Items, il is said. are
exhorbitant, and the members will 20 10
the convention determined TO have the
bill set aside and q decision rendered In
their favor. They declare that Cotter
cannot hold any claim against the
association for services rendered as
he receives an annual from
the State Associations.
As the majority OF the delegates TO the
convention will be from Newark. the
Jersey City representatives anticipate
that the Newark delegation will stand by
its townsman. IL they do this there viii
be war between the w delegations. n
the matter is settled without troubls It
will surprise the local delegates.

H0B0KBN'S POSTMASTER
James Curran Likely tc
Land the Prize-IIe Was
There Before.
Special to the Jersey city Neus.

SneciaI to the JERSEY citv Nems,
WASHINGTON, Sept. 81. 1S93.-nne nom
ination Of James Curran tpbe postmaster
at Hoboken will go tosthe Senate proba-
bly, this week. Senators Mcpherson and
Smith went to the White House yester-
day with Representative Fielder and pre-
sented the casa Of Mr.. Cnrran to the
President. Although the term of the
present incumbent does not expire until
December, the delegation convinced the
President That us Curran had been ousted
from his position four years go in ad-
vance of the expiration of his term, he
was now entitled to reinstatement.
James Curran is one OF the best known
citizens of HobOken. he has been prom
inent In politics in that city for the past
thirty years. He was u member OF the
the Assembly In 1SS0-8l. He has held
local offices. also. and was n member OF
the old volunteer fire department. Whe n
Cleveland WAS first elected he appointed
Currans POSTMASTER for HoboKen, he sue
ceedine Mr.. Farmer, but when Harrison
WAS elected President, Curran's head Was
chopped Off by Head M IN CIerkson be-
fore the expiration OF his term.
II CONTESTANTS.
When last November Cleveland was
again electe 1, Curran hogan laying wires
for his old position. He knew the benefit
of being early in the field and had
secured TO bis petition the signatures of
the leading business men OF the city. His
most formidable rival for the place this
time has been Mr.. Charles V. Darcy,
Clerk to the Board of Education. Mr.
Darcy had some local influence beoug ut
to bear, but Congressman Fielder and
Senators Mcpherson and Smith from the
outset favored Curran. 70 offset this
Darcy secured The influence of several
prominent Anti-Snappers OF New York.
but judging from the despatch above
from our Washington correspondent,
Curran will get the plum.
There were others anxious for the
position. but the real fight was between
Curran and Darcy.
THE CHANGES SINCE.
There are many changes i'll the post
Office building In Hoboken since Curran
first had charge. The post office
business was conducted in a store on
Washington street, near FIRST. Then more
commodious quarters were secured III the
bank building at Ferry and River streets.
Through the efforts of Congressman
McAdoo Hoboken got a new post Office.
This was occupied for the first time last
fall.
Doc. Kiel an aggressive Republican. has
heen the postmaster the last four years.
Though a decided partisan, ne has con-
Quoted the affairs OF the Office in a
creditable manner.

POWERS MAY BE MANAGER.
President Byrne of the Brooklyn Gu
Favors Him.

President Byrne of the Brook IN Club
Favors Him..
Owing TO the differences OF opinion
which have existed between President
Byrne and Dave Foutz. It does not saem
likely that the latter will manage the
Brooklyn team next year. THIS seams
especially probable, as Byrns has been
quoted at saying that "the days OF the
player-m anagsr are over" and he will
surely apply the statement to his own
club. Foutz's successor may be Patrick
Powers. Of this city. ex-manager of the
New Yorks, and at present tns President
of the Eastern League. Powers would
like to return to metropolitan baseball
circles. Since the formation of thu Cash
Prize League. Byrne and Powers have
been very chumny. Powers has MAIDS
several visits to Eastern Park when the
Brookly ms have been playing there. A
reporter asked Powers whether he ex-
pected to join force with the Brooklyns.
He said that he would say nothi ~
about the matter until the place had
actually been offered TO him." He would
not deny that b 9 was cast for manager,
and seemed wiling to take charge of the
BROOKLYN team.

an Interesting Exhibition.

Annie Drury and Mary Halligan Gave
an Interesting Exhibition.
Yesterday afternoon Annie Drury, of
No. 331 Warren street. threw a pail of
water Of the window at her residence
and nearly drowned a fireman of Number
One Engine. who was standing on the
sidewalk below. Mrs. Mary Halligan,
who lives in the same house, saw the
water land on the fireman. and started to
upbraid Mrs. Drury. A wal of words
followed, and Mrs. Drury and Mrs.
Halligau finally resorted to the manly art
to settle the dispute.
In thu first round Mrs. Drury had the
best of it. In the second she toed the
scratch and spared for wind. Not meet
ing with success in this attempt, she broke
from the ring, ran into the house, secured
a heavy tea cup, aud ~reappearing upon
the scene for the second time, tapped Mrs.
Halligan on the Uranium with the cup.
AT this point Mrs Halligan threw up the
sponge.
She was not to be conquered SO easily,
however. A few minutes later she was
before Justice Martinez and swore out a
warrant for the pugilistic Annie.
The examination took place this morn
ing. and Mrs. Drury gave $500 bail to
appear before the Grand Jury.
