TROLLEY PROTESTANTS.
They Want Either Money or Free Pass
Over the Road.

They Want Either Money or Free Pass
Over the Road.
Those in charge of the trolley system in
course of erection on Pacific avenue have
been spending the last few hot days in
anything but cool work. They have been
endeavoring to point out to protesting
property owners what great benefit the
trolley would be to them, and trying by
means of exhortation, threats demands
and coaxing, to gain their consent to the
erection of the trolley poles, but all to no
effect
Ii the protestants think that they can
compel the trolley people to accede to
their demands by holding out for any
length of time, they are mistaken, as in
speaking of the matter the man in charge
of the work told JERSEY CITY NEWS re-
porter that rather than do that the COM
pany would run horse cars as usual.
The three protests that are keeping back
the work at present are those of Mr.. Luhr-
man of Pacific avenue, Mr.. Seguine of
Pacific avenue, and Judge Cowper of
Halliday street and Communipaw avenue.
The second objection might be gotten
around, but as Thurman owns from Nos
15S to 1853 Pacific avenue, it will be hard
to remedy his objection, as no pole can be
put in the neigh borhood It will also be
difficult to remedy Judge Cowper's, as he
is on a corner which is needed The de-
mands OF the protestants is either money
or free pass over the road.

LUM LUNG TOO SPORTY.

CHICAGO, Aug. II, 19S3.-Lum Lung
was before Judge Brown yesterday, and
as a result of the proceedings is in
hazardous situation. He has been in this
city for fifteen years and has been driven
crazy by constant gambling and dissi pa
ton. This was brought out yesterday, as
well as the fact that the Chinaman has no
certificate under the Geary law Lung
came from Hong Kong, and the Judge
directed that the County Attorney com
municate with the authorities at Hong
Kong with view to Lungs removal
there. 1t was stated, and Judge Brown
said he believed it to be true that there
were no crazy people in China, it being
the practice to cut off the heads of those
afflicted in this way
Judge Brown said afterwards that hard
ship would undoubtedly be worked upon
the Chinaman by means of the Geary law
and the customs of his native country, but
that the law must be carried out and the
interests of Cook county looked after.

STEAMERS COLLIDE.
The Monmouth and Water
bury Have a Crash and
a Panic.

NEW YogK, August II. 1893. .-Th .
steamboat Waterbury, on her regular
daily trip to the Fishing Banks, ran In to
the Sandy Hook steamboat Monmouth.
belonging to The Central railway Of New
Jersey. just below the Narrows about
nine O'clock this morning. A dsnse fog.
which obscured all objects on the water
at that time. was one CT the causes Of the
collision.
The Waterbury was crowded with sew
eral hundred excurslonists from this city
and Williamsburg. and the Monmouth
was packed with the usual morning
crowd or business men on their way Lu
the city from the New Jersey coast re-
sorts.
There was panic on board both
boats. Four meu jumped from the upper
deck of the Waterbury to the
deck OF the Monmouth aud sustained
slight bruises. There was general rush
for life preservers. aud only the coolness
OF the Waterbury aided by some passen-
gers. Kept dozens from jumping from tine
boat to the Monmouth or into the water.
IN THE Foe.
The Monmouth left the railroad pier
at Sandy Hook at twenty-five minutes
past eight O'Clock. The fog a that time
was so dense that the blot could
hardly see beyond the bow of tbs vessel.
The boat ran at half speed and blew her
whistle at short intervals. The
trip up the lower bay was made without
ineil ent until the whistles of the Water
bury were heard right ahead, blowing in
answer to the signals from the Mon
mouth.
The Monmouth signalled that she
would keep to the right, allowing the
waterbury to pass on the port aide. 1t is
supposed by the Monmout h's officers that
theWaterbury misunde rstood the signals
AT all events, they say. she paid no at
tention to them. The Waterbury kept
straight on towa1 is the Monmouth. Tue
captain OF the latter. judging from the
sound of the Waterbury's whistles
boats would IS each ch' other
very closely. signslled 10 the engineer to
stop the Monmouth. The wheels were
reversed and ths boat had just been
brought to standstill, when tue bow of
the Waterbury crashed into her port side
just aft the paddleboxes.
BOTH CAREENED.
The force OF the blow caused both
vessels to careen violently, aud many
passer.gers were thrown from their feet.
Great excitement prevailed on board the
Monmouth and every body scrambled for
life preservers.
A moment after the shock Of the
collision there was panic on board the
waterbury. Women shrieked and tainted,
children cried and men struggled tor tbs
life preservers. The boats drifted apart
and lost sight OF each other In the fog
before either could ascertain the extent
of each others injuries.
On board the Monmouth the deck
along the port side was ripped up for
nearly forty feet. Tue sides of half
dozen OF the cabins were also torn out.
NO one was injured beyond few slight
the crash.
1t was thought on board the Monmouth
that The Waterbury had ssusrain more
serious injuries. Part of her deck was
torn up, and tina stern OF the vessel az
peared to be wrenc ched loose above the
water line.

FIELDER BELIEVES IN PROGRESS.
For Ibis Reason Our Congressman Vote
AgaInst Adjourument


Against Adjournment.
Special to The Jersey City Netos.
WASHINGTON. August II, 1S93-All the
members OF the New Jersey delegation
went to the Capitol yesterday with grip
sacks in their hands ready to start for
home as soon as the House adjourned.
At rhe Same time some OF thsm-Con-
gresham Fielder. for fnstance-v oted-
against adjournment early In the day on
the ground that something IN the way of
progress should be done at every session
Of the House. This feeling ia indicative
OF the delegation. They are all active,
busy men. anxious to serve their party
and their constituents.
Congressman Cornish is one of the
busiest men In the delegation. His work,
too, Is not IN vain, which Is the best part
OF It. He began to score success some
weeks ago when he secured the Rppoinc-
msDt of Mr.. Ribble of Somerviile as
chief OF division In the Pension Office,
and, as already mentioned in these dis
patches, hshas an unusually large mum bsr
CT Republican postmasters'scalps hanging
at his belt. He was landed on the right
side. too. In the organization of the
House. When he came down to Wash
fngton in the early part of last week, he
had the good fortune, through his fore
sight and Judgment, to ally himself to
cause of MIR. Hurt. then candidate for
tne eooorkeeperSnlD. ana To-Day ne learned
that he would nave q good posi- ton at
his disposal. Naturally he feels quite
happy.
This morning Mr. Cornish had long
and pleasant interview with the Presi-
dent. He called to ask the appointment
of Judge s. w. Dewitt as an assistant
Attorney General in the Department. of
Justice. Judge Dewitt is endorsed by
Senators Mcpherson and Smith, by the
entire Congressional delegation, by Judge
Albeit and Governor Wsrts. In addition
to this he has the active aud earnest
support of Mr.. Cornish, which means
great deal in his behalf.
Mr.. Cornish's success in Washington Is
due to very large extent to the personal
regard which the President has for him
Mr.. Cornish was twice Cleveland dele
gate to Democratic national conventions
and has been friend of the Pres ident In
season and out of season. Consequently
be always finds cordial welcome at the
White House, and it will be quite sur
prising if he does not make a most excel
lent record while In Congress.
Three New jersey postmasters were
appointed Yesterday. as fol;ows:-
Maple, Burlington County, r. B. Will
sou. vice Anna j. Kelley, resigned; Nav
Durham, Hudson County, A. j. Kittle.

THE CONTEST ADJOINING
A Decidedly Large Vote
Being Cast-Nine New
Candidates Today.

Nine new candidates make their first
appearance today in the Retail Clerks'
Popularity Contest. They have been
entered by staunch friends, each of whom
is determined to see that his or her
fsvoritelis near the top rung OF the ladder
before the contest is much further ad-
vanced.
1t is said ''comparisons are odious." but
our comparison of the Police Contest with
this one is an exception to the rule. for it
makes positive facts that The JERSEY
CITY NEWS is proud of, and
which Will be considered by
business men throughout the city
as d criterion of THE NEWS staad-
ing and circulation. AT this stage in the
police contest there were 33 candidates;
in this contest there are 46. gaiu of 13.
Though this gain is natural, nevertheless.
1t is in the mum ber of votes cast that may
be seen, the increase most strongly cal
culated TO convince one OF the circulation
of THE NEWS.
A COMPARISON.
Alonze Tier was the leader in the police
contest with 178 votes, Fitzhsury second
with ISL. Siller third with 1877, Hanbury
fourth with 131, and Egan fifth with 120.
naming twenty eight contestants having
votes from 80 down to l.
In this contest the first three candidates
have total OF $40 today, while If we
count the first fve we have a total of
1165 a gain over the total of the first five
in the police contest of 46S.
There Is one important fact made pogi-
lively evident by this comparison, and
that Is this:-The circulation of The
NEWS is not confined to politicians and
their friends, neither is it a class paper III
any sense. but instead circulates among
all the people. and more especially those
engaged in commercial pursuits.
THE STANDING TODAY.
James Nugent of Doans's Hat Store
still leads, with total vote of 343. A.
White of McBride's Tea Store is second
with 1854, but J. w. Van Tine of the
Populsr Shoe Store is only one vote be-
hind him. having 1853.
The biggest jump into the from
ranks was made by Miss j.
Mailly of c.. P. Friends store. Miss
Mailly is fourth with total vote of 1888,
a gain since yesterday of 173 Miss MailIy
promises to be one of the most formida bic
candidates, and her friends assert that
she will be In the lead by next week.
f. N. Yale, of g. r. Vessels store, Is
another candidate that will bear watch
ing. His total today Is 1872, gain since
yesterday of IS.
All along the line gains have been
made.

TIE DEBATE BEGUN.
AT t1ve minutes after Que, Mr.. Rayner,
(Dem., Md began the Debate in support
of the Wilson bill for the unconditional
repeal of the Siller Purchase CIause.
Mr, Rayner said that the adoption OF
the rOlicy of free silver coinage would tie
the United States 10 the tail OF any bank
rupt nation of the work. The opening
of the mints to silver might for a time,
he said, maintaiu the fictitious value OF
the coin. but the value of the
bullion would always be regulated
by the market price. AS long
as the Sherman Silver Act remains on
the statute books, so long will 1t be i'm
possible to effect an international ar
rapgement. SO long will monetary con-
ferences result in failure.
