Leaders of Hudson Ceunty's
Democracy Have Called
a Council,
CONVENTIONS WILL BE ABOLISHED
Appointment of Candidates and En-
rollment of Voters to
Be Arranged.

Mr.. E. F. G. Young and ex-Judge Garrett
son, leaders of the two wings of the Demo-
cratic army of this county, decided this
morning to hold council of war in the
Hotel Washington on Monday evening next
This is for the purpose of making prepara-
tions for the coming struggle at the fall
elections. To this council have been invited
the committee of "Twenty-four," who will
have plenty to do in the way of appointing
candidates. fixing the dates for primaries,
and many other matters of detail to discuss
and arrange
One of the first things to be done is to re-
ceive report from General w c. Heppen-
heimer and Commissioner John P. Feeney as
TO brand new constitution and a set of by
laws. This, in all probability, will be ac-
cepted at once, and the committee thus
equipped viii be able to get down to practi-
cal work
dates will require much discussion in order
that each district is properly represented.
Although not certain, the plan will be to
give Jersey City six members, Hoboken two,
Harrison and Kearny one, Che upper end of
the district one and Bayonne and Greenville
one
NO MORE CONVENTIONS.
Under the old system the primaries were
principally for electing delegates to CON
vention which nominated the candidates,
but the plan now to be adopted, in all hkeli-
hood, on Monday will be that the voter at
the primary will vote direct fer the candi-
date By way of illustrating this, supposing
man wishes to run for Congress. Assembly
or any other office, he viii send IN to the
secretary to be named. his application to have
his name placed on ticket with others who
are also candidates. So that there may be
half a dozen looking for" Congressman an
equal number of aspirants for less fpreten-
tious positions. Then at the primary Mr..
Voter looks at the list of. candidates for the
one office and decides for whom he shall
vote. The result Of the ballots viii settle
the rival claims, and he who receives the
greatest number of primary votes will be
the regular nominee of the Democratic
party. By these means everyone around
whose bonnet some species of political bee
buzzes may have chance.
A NEW ENROLMENT.
By the recent gerrymander action of the
Ward Line Commissioners, suppesing it will
stand the certiorari test of JudgeEippin-
cott, a change in enrolment of voters will
be necessary. The best means to accomplish
this will be discussed on Monday, when the
leaders hope that every member Of the cera-
mittee will put in an appearance

IRON STEAMBOATS, LIBELLED.
Bonds Filed in Time to stop a Meau
Tie Up.

New YORK, Sept. 5, 1S94-The Iron
Steamboat Company succeeded today in
filing bonds with the United States Marshal
sufficient to keep the ships of the company
from being seized on the libels filed against
them in the United States District Court by
Hugh Ramsay, ship builder of Perth Am
boy.
Ramsay made repairs on several of the
company's steamers, which he says amounts
to $25, ,397.4S. The company refused to pay
him because they allege the bill is exhorbi-
tant, and while they were negotiating with
Ramsey for a reduction, he filed a libel
against seven Of the ships.
President Allan c. Washington, of the
company, succeeded in securing bonds be-
fore the marshal had seized the ships. Ram
says bill will be adjusted in court. 1t was
plainly his intention to have the ships of the
company tied up, as he gave the company no
notice that he would file libels, ana even
held back until the United States District
Court was on the point of closing yesterday
afternoon

CANADIAN INDIANS UGLY.

TORONTO, Ont, Sept. 5, 1Ss4-A des-
patch from Battleford, Northwest Ter
ritory, to the Globe says:-We are
threatened with an Indian uprising. On
Saturday a settler named Day brought
word that the Indians around Jaekflsh
Lake had risen and had seized all the
guns and ammunition and horses belong
ing to settlers in that neighborhood. 1t
is said Gabriel Dumont is there and is
inciting the Indians to make trouble.
That story, however, is not sustained
by any evidence and may have no foun-
dation in fact. Thirty of the Mounted
Police went out there late on Saturday
night and nothing has been heard as to
their movements since their departure
Much anxiety is felt. The Indians are
non-treaty Indians and belong to the
Sotos. All the white women have been
removed to one large house, whick is in
itself sign of danger. Six of the young
Indians In the Industrial School ran away
two days ago. and are supposed to have
joined their brethren who are threaten
ing tropble.

FIGHTING FOREST FIRES.
DIR. Craig and Alexander Mckenzie
Overcome at Glen Spa.

Overcome at Glen Spa.
Forest fires yesterday and Monday de-
stroyed several acres of valuable wood
land and about three hundred yards of
a high board fence of the country seat
of the late millionaire, George r. Mac
Kenzie, at Glen Spey, Sullivan county,
New York Monday afternoon the fire
was discovered by Mr.. Aleck MacKen-
ze. who proceeded at once to fight the
flames. He was followed in a short
time by DIR. Burdette Craig of Van Worst
Square and Mr.. James Mackenzie. The
fire had started in a deep underbrush
woodland. The gentlemen, assisted by a
quartette of coachmen, battled with the
flames for fully three hours, and realiz-
ing that they We're making little or no
headway, sent for farm hands in the
neighborhood to come to their assist
ance. The continued drought for the
past six weeks in Sullivan county has
parched everything, furnishing food for
the flames. The soil is rocky, and the
only way to fight the fire was to beat it
with wet pine branches. At nightfall
Mr.. Aleck Mackenzie was overcome by
the sitting smoke and had to be car
ried to a place of safety. An hour later
DIR. Craig fell headforemost in the fire
in an unconscious condition. He was
rescued by the farm hands and carried
back to the house. All night long the
fire ragged. Last night it was under con-
troll. Farm hands are stationed in the
woodland, however, night and day, to
prevent another outbreak of the fiames
The fire did about $4,000 damage.

Burglars forced an entrance into the
house of James M. Erb, at No. S37 Pa
yonia avenue, Sunday night, and secured
a large amount of silverware, jewelry
and several expensive china and small
bronze ornaments, valued in all about
81, ,000 The burglars escaped and up to
the present time have not been cap
tured. They got in through the kitchen
window, after filing off two iron bars
and cutting a piece out of wooden
shutter.
The same night an attempt was made
to rob several other houses in the
neighborhood, but the only place where
they were successful was at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Dennston. Here they got
away with several hundred dollars worth
of diamonds and jewelry. The police
think it is an organized gang, with
their rendezvous out of town. They
have the usual clue" which they are
working upon, but will divulge moth
ing at present.
