Our readers will remember that Hon.
George w. Jones, of Middle Tennessee,
delivered the Grafton at the unwilling
of the monument to Andrew johnson.
The Grafton reads well in print, because
it is full of good points and good
sense, but it was delivered in sing

was selected for the orator of the occa-
sion, by the Johnson family, because
he was the most intimate friend An
drew Johnson ever had. Jones was a
poor boy, left fatherless at an early
age, as johnson was aud like johnson
a mechanic. Jones learned the trade
of saddler, johnson of tailor. Jones'
chief distinction, in the History of

lower House of Congress from this
State longer than any man has ever
done. He was elected to Congress in

One of the most notal lie speeches of

DEMOCRATIC ENROLMENT.
The Committee Hard at Work-The
New Primaries.

Now Primaries.
The enro llment of Democratic voters in
Hudson County, as agreed upon and ordered
by the joint committee from the Central
Organization and Reform Democratic Com
mittees, is almost finished, and those who
are engaged in it haye nov nearly 60, 900
voters on their books
The copyists nave had the County Clerks
poll list, and have transcribed the names
into books for each precinct.
When all the work is completed these
books will be handed to the precinct leader,
who will get his committee together and go
over the book containing the listo voters in
his precinct. This list will be checked, and
all names of republicans will be erased,
while removals and deaths will be noted.
When so revised the book will contain the
actual list of Democratic voters, n this
will be compared with the book held by the
secretary Of the Enrolment COMMITTEES,
who, on receipt of the books from the sew
eral precincts, will correct and revise the
genersl POLLOCK OF the entire county
Some of the members of the Enr0llment
Committee are doubtful about the primary
being held in July. They think that before
the new system can be said to be III working
order the fall will be here. But, if possible,
the committee will endeavor to have the new
enrolment used at the coming primary.

ASPHALT MONOPOLY
A Little snag Which Will
Prevent the Use OF the
BeTmudeZ Article.
BARBER COMPANY Has A @CINCH'
Mayor Wanser Will, However, See
That the City Gets Its
Moneys Worth.

There is strong likelihood that all the
asphalt paving which viii be done in this
city viii be by the Barber Asphalt Com
Jany. That company Will enjoy a monopoly
Of the business unless the Bermudez Asphalt
Company adjusts its difficulty with Mrs
shannon, widow of the late Contractor
tohn Shannon. 1t was briefly stated in THE
Jersey City News a few days ago that
Hrs. Shannon maintained that she enjoyed
The privileges regarding asphalt paw
ing which her husband did prior
to his death, SO far as
Dermudez Company was concerned. The
latter company, by an agreement with Mr..
Shannon gave him the New Jersey agency.
10 matter whether he submitted a bid or
not on the part of the Bermudez Company
on work in this State he was to lave a GER
tain percentage on work done. The COM
pany maintains that that agreement expired
with his death. Mrs. Shannon and her
brother, James p. Hall, say not.
When asphalt bids were advertised for re-
Gently the Ber1nudez asphalt was named in
the specifications. Mrs. Shannon, to show
that she still held the company to its agree
ment with her husband, presented a bid.
The Specifications demanded hat some work
done by each bidder be given as reference.
This put Mrs. Shannon in a hole. She could
not refer to the Bermudez Company's work
because that company would repudiate it.
As a result her bid was declared informal.
She didn't care. She had shut out the Ber-
nludez Company and was satisfied. The
company has, it is said, practically aban-
doned the State, which gives the Barber
people full swing.
MAYOR wANSER WILL KEEP WATCH.
masmuch as Mayor Wanser intends hav-
ing considerable asphalt laid, the Barber
Company will get & nice penny out of it.
The company is working under carefully
prepared specifications, and Mayor Wanser
will see to it that value is received for every
penny expended. Considerable interest is
being manifested in the company's work on
Barrow street, The old curbs AVE been
taken up, and the old copbies are being re-
moved and the ruts filed IN. The coDbles
are to be reset in coarse sand, and upon
them will be placed a substantial layer OF
crushed stone concrete. Then will follow
the asphalt. The company has its most ex-
perienced men on the street, and an excel
lent sample of work may be looked for.
WILL PUSH TIL work.
Upon the completion Of Barrow street,
work will be begun upon the streets desig-
mated by the old Street and Water Board
north of the railroad. By the time they are
completed the liquor license monies will be
pour1ng in, and other bids will be adver-
tised for.
If the Barrow street pavement gives en-.
tire satisfaction, many of the principal
streets in the lower section OF the city VII,
be paved with asphalt.

Hoffman House Charter Annulled
In the Hands of q Receiver.

In the Hands of q Receiver.
The Hoffman House of New York, a New
Jersey corporation, had its charter annulled
this morning by Chancellor McGin for con-
tempt of court.
In January last Mr.. William E.
D.. Stokes, a stakeholder of the Hof-
man House corporation, and a cousin of
Edward Stokes, asked Vice-C Chancellor Nc
Gill to grant an order compelling the Hoff-
man House president and officers to bring
the books OF the corporation into New Jer-
sey and deposit them with the Sergeant-at-
Arms of the Jersey City Court of Chan
Gerry.
ed" Stokes paid 10 attention to the
order except a statement, which, IN plain
English, meant the New Jersey Court OF
Chancery be bowed.
Cousin VIM. e. D. Stokes then procured
an order to show cause why the officers of
the Hoffman House corporation should not
be punished for contempt and its charter
annulled. That order was made returnable
this morning.
Counsellor A. Q. Keasbey Of Newark
turned up this morning before Vice-Chan-
ceIlor Green TO represent Cousin w. e. ID.
Stokes, but no one appeared for Ed
When the defendants nameswas called by
the Sergeant-at-Arms and no response made,
the Vice-C Chancellor said
81 will advise that the charter be an
nulled," and. turning to the SergeanU-at-
Arms, said, take this into the Chancellor
and ask him TO sign it."
Chancellor McGil was engaged IN another
case in the adjoining room and when the paper
was presented. quickly glanced over its con
tents and affixed his signature.
The order not only annuls the charter, but
it places its officers in contempt, and should
these people cross over here from New
York they are liable to arrest. The order
also places the estate in the hands of Re
ceivers O.. A. Hui and w. P. Ward, and
directs them to wind up the affairs of the
corporation.
