Hudson Democratic Society.

The Hudson Democratic Society held its reg
ular monthly meeting Monday night. Mr.
Charles E. Black was elected President and the
following gentlemen were made members of the
House COMMITTEES: Thomas Hines and John L.
Boream. George Dinkel and DR.. Louis Bau-
mann were elected new members. The Treas
urer's report showed that there was balance
in the treasury. Everything showed that the
club is in f1ourishing condition.
There is some talk of having Colonel Joseph
F. Bedle, Jr., photographed in his new regi
mentals. and hung up against the wall the
photograph, not the Colonel, among Grover
Cleveland, General McClelland, General Hep
penheimer and other national warriors and
statesmen.
And now they call Myles McCartin the sphynx
of the society. He comes in very often and sits
quietly listening to everything that is said, but
saying nothing himself. When he does open
his mouth, however the pearls of wisdom
which fall from, his lips are out Of sight.

MUCH IMPROVEMENT TALK.

The Be rgen Association on the Old, Old
Sewerage Topic.
The Bergen Improvement Association
met at No. CTS Montgomery street last
night, with President Isaac w. Romaine
In the chair. There were about ten
members present. A great deal of
talk again resulted over proposed
new sewerage on the Heights. The men,
bers of the association and many of the
residents of the Heights are in favor of
connecting the sewers on the ave-
nues, which run east ana
west with the main sewer
on West Side avenue. The property
owners on West Side avenue, however,
are seriously opposed to any such ar
rangemeut' and the connections cannot
be made unless they consent.
The Committee OF the Association which
was appointed at the last meeting was
continued, with instructions to learn if
the connection could not be established
without the consent of the West Side
avenue property owners.
A committee reported that the proposed
opening of Pavouia avenue was IN the
hands of the Street and Water Board and
everything looked favorable. The Associa-
tion deplored the present scant water
supply. and suggested that the city au-
thorities place water meters in dwellings.
This. they thought, would prevent a
large waste.

tion of those who were concerned In the
wreck at the Meadows coal chutes Thurs
daynlght. Frank Farrell, the engineerofthe
chesapeake and Ohio Express which

with his fireman, was exami ned. The

saying that as the matter was in the
hands of the Coroner, they could make
no statement.
Farrel maintained that he was given a
white light when he approached June's
signal tower, and thinking that every
thin was clear, he put on extra steam
and spurted ahead. There is a slight
curve in the track at this point
and he did not see the red

the red lights ofstne standing train. He
quickly reversed his engine and jammed

THEY VOTED UNFAIRLY.
Bayonne Firemen Confess That
Charges Against Them Are
Well Founded.

Couneilmen Donohoe, O'Brien and
McQuillan, the Committee on Police and
Fire Departments, met In the Bayonne
City Hall last evening to investigate the
alleged Irregularities and frauds in the
recent election for officers of the Volun-
teer Fire Department. Councilmen
Benny and Bridgeman and City Clerk
Hamilton were also present, Delegations
from the nine fire companies attended.

protest of James Howell against the con-
firmation of William Barnes as First
Assistant Chief Engineer, and the Pc
tilion from BaYonne Hook and Ladder
Company. No. /, for an investiga !.
Messrs. Howell and Barnes were
called upon for their statement.
From this time on the, investigation was
nothin more nor less than huge circus
for the crowd present. Every ybody wanted
to talk at the same time, while the jani-
tor was continually interrupIing the pro-
ceedingS to threaten to throw some en-
thusiastic firemen out of the hall.
Howell claimed that the majority Of
two votes for Barnes was made by fraud,
Columbia HOOK and Ladder Company,
No, 8, having first reported ffty-three
votes for Barnes and then increased the
figure to fifty-sight. Members of rival
companies accused the other organ
izations OF voting men by proxy,
voting exempt members and
voting more ballots than the
companies have members. Crimlnations
and recriminations were SO numerous
that they finally resulted in confession
by members of each company that the ir-
Irregularities in the voting occurred, Then
Councilman Benny said that his charge
that the election in every company was
crooked was vindicated.
Several firemen suggested that the
committee report that new election
should be held. The city's Fire Depart
lnent ordinance was consulted and found
to be silent on that point. Then Couu-
Gilman Benny suggested that each
cOmDany's Secretary be subpanaed
to produce the organization's list
of active members. Representatives OF

sition, except those of Columbia Hook
aud Ladder Company. Alter being In
session for more than two hours, and
after much discussion and disorder that
necessttated the janitor calling in the po-
lice, the committee adjourned the investi-
CATION until Monday evening.
