NOW FOR ALOERMAN|C WARS.
Democratic Members Have Lost
Control of Newark's Board.
Mayor Lebkuecher Digs ID an Old
Law TO Appoint n Republicans.

NEWARK, n. j., July 1.-THE Demo-
cratic members of the Common Council
were surprised by Mayor Lebkuecher
this morning, when he took advantage
of an old law and appointed II. Wayne
Parker, well-known Republican. as
Alderman, TO succeed Frank Sweet, the
Democratic member of the Board, who
died some weeks ago.
The law which gave the Mayor the
power was passed In 1884, and by an
oversight 1t had not been repealed Ii
holds that when a vacancy occurs In the
Board Of Aldermen In cities OF the first
class instead of special election the
Mayor can appoint the successor
The fact that this law was in exist
ence was made known few days ago,
and the city Counsel at once went t.
work to look up the subject. He found
that the Mayors powers were undis-
puted, and there was at once u scramble
among the prominent politicians for the
position.
r. Wayne Parker. who was able 10
land the prize, has been nominated for
various positions in the gift OF the peo-
pie from that of State Senator down,
but he has always been defeated. He is
lieutenant of the Essex Troop. which IL
now in camp at Sea Girt. At the last
city election II was found that while the
Republicans had made great gains the
Democrats still had majority in the
Board.
The new appointment makes the Board
tie, with a Democrat in the chair, and
some lively times are expected.

Willie and Clinty Battle in Full
Dress at Long Branch.

WEST END. LONG BRANCH. N. j.,
July 1.-Two young men, Immediately
dressed in spiketails, glistening tiles
and shining patent feathers, created .
sensation on the beach in front of the
cottages of the SeliEinans, Hiltons and
Untermeyers the other afternoon. They
tipped their hats graciously to the la
dies sitting on the cottage verandas.
and appeared to be on the most friendly
terms with each other.
Suddenly the cottagers were horrifed
by the unexpected spectacle of the full
dressed young men turning upon each
other and hammering away in a James
j.. Corbett- John l.. Sullivan fashion.
Then they locked themselves together
In an apparently desperate struggle. all
the time growing startlingly closer to
the incoming surf.
Suddenly they separated, and. with
shouts OF laughter. plunged into the
waves. shiny tiles, spiketails. patens
Then they began to toss up their hats
In the air and caper as IL they were
madmen.
Meanwhile. guests rushed pell NELL
to the beach. unable to understand the
situation. 1t dawned upon them, how
"Wiilie" and sc c 1 Flanagan eS had
been the perpetrators OF a good hoax,
when, dripping with water, they walked
upon the beach and touched their soaked
tiles to the ladies'.
A few minutes later they emerged
from the hands of Wallets, who had been
waiting to perform their part of tho
programme for the benefit OF the Hill
tons. Seligmans and Untermeyers.

ton OF Lawyer Louis Steckler. OF us
Broadway. attorney for Falden Egen-
berger, why William Bauschbach, his
uncle. should not be removed as admin

deceased.
1t appears from Egenberger's affidavit
that In October. 1899. Bauschbach came
to this country from Baden. Germany
and In his petition for his appointment
as administrator swore that he was a
resident of the city of New York and
that he was the only next OF kin entitled
to share in the estate of his sister. 1t Is
alleged that Bauschbnch was not and In
not now "A resident of this city. and that
Egenbcrger and his six sisters and
brothers are entitled to one-half OF the
estate. they being the children Of sister
OF the deceased.
Egenberger charges his uncle with de-
liberately committing perjury in order to
deprive him and his brothers and sisters
any share in the estate. He asks that
his uncle be removed as administrator
and that he be appointed in his stead.
The motion will be heard before the
Surrogate some time this month.

lieved him of his shield and dismissed
him from the force.
Sheppard claims that he was visiting
