the honor of having one of the largest

time to come to give him more political
honors. Although it vas Saturday night
and many of the politicians are out of
town, there We're enough of them on
hand to make politics the chief topic of
conversation at the tables. Those who
did not take part in the conversation

GOVERNOR WBRTs' MoDEsTY.
Public Functions Haunt Him Like
Nightmare.

Public Functions Haunt Him Like
a Nightmare.
TRENTON. Aug. 20, 1894.-Governor
Werts is a modest mar and dislikes
crowds and demonstrations. For a man
that has been in public life as much as
he has, it seems as if he would never
get accustomed to mingling with large
bodies of people and appearing on State
occasions.
Asbury Park has just congratulated it
self that it was able to get the Cover
nor there on Thursday to review the
great demonstration of the Junior Order
American Mechanics. The National Ed
torial Association. as well as the Ma
tional Educational Association. tried to
dignity their deliberations with the pres
ence of the Chief Executive of New Jer-
Sey, but he was unable to be there.
1t must not always be inferred when
it is down on he bills that Governor
Werts will make a review that he will
really be on hand, because if he can pos
he is not in sympathy with the organiza-
ton or the enterprise. butNit is really a
bore to him to make set speeches and
to appear in a p~erfunctory way before
large numbers of people.
The Governor has a great dread for
Governors Review Day at Sea Grit.
The review is hardly over when he be-
gins to worry about the next one a year
hence. On this occasion he is obliged to
ride a horse. and that is a new expert
ence for him, and to appear before from
ten to fifteen thousand people and have
the style of his silk hat, as well as
the style of his horsemanship, severely
criticized. When it comes to receptions
and a full dress suit he is extremely
annoyed, for he does not dance and must
be placed in the class of wallfowers on
such occasions. These facts are alto
gether expressive of the general dis
position of the man. He is quiet, unas-
Stunning and reserved. He shines best
in a small group of men whom he knows
well and can trust. He enjoys the tete-
a-tete on the porch of the little white
house at Sea Grit, and a quiet smoke
at the Rifle Associations clubhouse
about as well as anything.
The Governor is certainly different
from his predecessor, Leon Albeit,
who socially is the most versatile man
that ever filled the office of Chief FIX
ecutive. The bigger the crowd the hap
pier was Governor Albeit. He was
ready to make a speech at a church
fair or at the laying of a corner stone
of a new brewery. He accepted in
vitations by the bushel and led more
grand marches than all his predecessors
put together, n he never failed when
visiting a ball to dance in several num-
bers before leaving, and on Governors
Review Day he was right in his element,
and always evoked much applause as he
rode dOWn the line.

Hoboken,s Apathetic Police.

The Hoboken Police force is a disgrace
to the State. 1t has for years been under
suspicion of gross corruption. In this re-
spect we believe it is a little better since
Mayor Fagan's accession to office. The
organized collision with green goods
gangs and policy combinations is less
fragrant than it was a few years ago.
But the neglect and incompetence dis
played in respect to ordinary every day
crime is simply astounding.
The apathy shown in the McLaren case
general conduct of the Department. 1t
is true that in the case of this cold blood
ed villain the captains, ~sergeants, de-
~tectives and officers generally calmly
sat down and waited for the murderer
to walk into their arms. 1t is generally
understood thai they We're even lax and
secure his conviction. 1t is said thai
their work will hardly figure in the pro-
ceedings when McLaren is tried for his
crime. But, bad as it is, this is only
an individual case, and as respects the
general peace and order of the city is
not to be compared with the habitual
neglect of the systematic crime which
pervades the steamship docks. the grog-
geries and dives patronized by the
.emigrant" class, and indeed the water
front generally.
Hoboken is simply given over to bunco
steerers, pickpockets, confidence men and
other sharks who make ignorant for
eigners and simple country people their
prey. The town is full of them, and day
after day the reports of their depreda-
tons s~candalize the community. No SER
ious effort is made to expel them or pun
ish them. The Hoboken detectives go
mooning around with their eyes in their
pockets, while their superiors doze in
their lazy seats at Headquarters. There
is no reason why these ~scoundrels can
not be caught. New York suppressed
tnem years ago, tHouSH tue propieM 10
much more complicated in that vast city.
We have no trouble with them in this
city either, though many ocean steam
srs sail from our docks. The reason is
that here n in New York the police
do their duty in this respect at least,
whereas in Hoboken, they totally fail to
do it.
Mayor Pagan should read the riot act
to the Force. and provide the Depart
ment with new heads if the present ones
are not able to effect a reform.

John Mcclure, twelve years old, of No.

man in that city yesterday afternoon,
who told him there were streets in Ho-

The boy was curious to see them and ac-

extraordinary place. All Johnnie could
see We're beer kegs and no shining lucre
at all. When the man had got the young

Nfne-Year-OId Annie Richter Ground

While nine-year-old Annie Richter was
playing yesterday afternoon in front of her
home in Bergenline avenue, near Humboldt
street. Union Hill, one of her companions
ran after her. Annie darted across the
street just us a North Hudson County Rail
way motor came along, running at a high
speed.
The motor struck the child, and she was
thrown under the wheels. Motorman
Michael Kappe turned off the power and
applied the brake with such sudden force
that the passengers in the crowded car were
thrown forward, but it was too late to save
the childis life. She was dead when she was
taken from under the car.
Motorman Kappe was arrested and locked
up on a charge of manslaughter. The child's
mutilated body was picked up and placed in
the arms of her mother, who carried it home.

SHIP CANAL TALK.
A NewRoute Suggested which Leaves
Princeton Gut.


Special to the JeTsey City Neacs.
TRENTON, Aug. 20, 1S94-The american
Eagle" in presenting to its readers what it
believes is the best route ship canal across
the State, says that instead Of trying to
make a seaport town of Princeton upon a
hill, we select Jamesburg and Hightstown
instead"
The Eagles" plan is as follows:-"We
present to our readers in this ISSUE
another route for a ship canal across the
State of New Jersey. In the first place we
strike a bee line from Philadelphia to Bor-
dentown. where an important bend occurs,
and thence to either side of South Amboy.
between Sayreville and Morgan, on the
Cheesequake creek. The important thing
to seek for a ship canal is a de-
sirable depth, plenty of water sheds
and easy digging throughout, which can be-
had on the route mentioned. which is com
posed OF potter's clays, sands and narls. and
avoiding a four-track system OF steam rail
ways, To make a beginning we improve
the Delaware River to Bordentown for
twenty-siX feet draught, with about twelve
feet at Burlington now, then pass through
the valleys east and west of the cid Camden
and AIuboy Railroad, a single track system.
until we near Jamesburg, which We propose
making our summit or highest level, starting
from one mile this side of Kingston to near
Jainesburg. utilizing the present feeder from
Raven Rock to Kingston, and thence across
to ~Jamesburg, for a water supply for the
triple locks required, and the more business
done the more of Il demand for agood supply
OF water, either from the feeder OF Lawrence
Brook. After leaving Jamesburg we seek a
good harbor, either near Sayreville or Nor
gan; the former quite shoal, and the latter
would need a breakwater to offset the
heavy ofR-shore or east winds. The present
canal from Kingston to New Brunswick can
be used for chunkers and low barges for
Tightening off the ship canal, besides remov-
ing two objections at New Brunswick, one
being for a permanent bridge, with forty
five feet clearance over the canal, whie is
sufficient for barges and %chunkers, and
the other objections Is the fear of the
city's water supply being cut off. At some
future time the canal from New Bruins
wick to Kingston could be abandoned to
aid in the supply of water to the ship canal.
In the second place we propose taking out
lock No. 3 on the present ana and cut
dow the upper level and fill up the banks of
the lower level until we secure twenty-six
feet draught from Bordentown to LANDER
ton, just the edge of Trenton, or what we
might call the Trenton slip, with docks and
storehouses without limit for the trans ship
ment of all kinds of merchandise by rail on
the east side, and on the west side we will
have a river front for lighter draught YES

tails of the scheme.

POOR SHOOTING AT MARION.
All Conditions Favorable, Yet Low
Scoreg Were Made.

AS there was no team shooting Satur-
day, the competition having closed the
week previous, the "rooters" that gener-
ally visit the Marion Range were con-
spicuous by their absence, and thus the
attendance was not as large as usual.
The individual prize shooting also lacked
interest, but still a steady freing was
kept UP until 6 o'clock. Very few bulls
eyes were punctured, and not many
scores over thirty were made.
The weather was as fine as any one
could wish, with light breezy clouds
floating overhead, making the light per-
feet; yet the shooting was far below the
average. 1t seems the finer the day
the fewer out; while on a stormy day,
when the soldiers don't care to go any
where else, they crowd the range. Fol-
lowing is the list of those making a
