TO BOUNCE DEMOCRATS.
Street and Water Commission
ers Confer With Mayor
Wanser on Various
Matters.

The Street and Water Commissioners
are holding conference with Mayor
Wanser this afternoon. in his private
office in the City Hail. Many matters
of Importance are coming up for consid-
GRAFTON. The resolution of the Street
and Water Board dismissing the Demo-
cratic clerks is to be talked over. The
Mayor, it is said. is not altogether op-
posed to allowing the elected Commits
soners to remove the Democratic en-
ployes of the department to make room
for their constituents, but he does not
think it advisable to make wholesale
dismissals and in that way cripple the
department, particularly the clerical
force. &
THE CLERKS BUSINESS PILTNG UP.
The business of Clerk Bouton's Office
at this time is piling up rapidly, and
even with experienced men assisting
him, it requires day and night work
to keep from running behind. The Mayor
will probably suggest that one clerk at
a time be dismissed and. a new clerk
thoroughly broken in before another dis
missal is ordered The suggestion may
be followed. The water question wilI
also probably be discussed. A report has
reached the Commissioners that certain
Republicans propose carrying any ac-
ton they take on the water question to
the. courts. course to be pursued will
probably be agreed upon this afternoon.
The estimate OF appropriations is also
to be talked over The Commissioners
will probably be informed that lower
tax rate is desirable and that they must
not expect too much. General improve
ments throughout the city will be con-
sidered. The Mayor has several impor-
81 n
anxious TO have the Commissioners push
them along as rapidly as possible. Sew
erai little bitches have arisen between
the Mayor and Commissioners recently.
They are due, it is said. to malicious
stories that have been carried down
town from the McEwan stronghold. All
and smooth sailing may be expected in
future.

BIGAMIsT WANTS A NEW TRIAL
Says That the State Did Not Prove
That Wis First Wlfe WAS Alive.

Counsellor Ewald today applied to
JudgeHudspeth in the General Sessions
for new trial for Charles Lenschel,
formerly barber in Washington street.
Hoboken. He was recently convicted of
bigamy. At the trial it was claimed
that Lenschel had wife living in Ger
many.
Five years ago Lenschel came from
Europe to Hoboken and then married a
second wife. When the second wife
learned that the first wife was living
Lenschel left her and went to Baltimore,
from which city he was extradted.
The foundation for the application for
new trial made by Counsellor Ewald
was that the State at the trial did not
establish the fact that the first wife was
living when the second marriage took
place. Court reserved decision.

honorable course, and one that cannot
fail to win her t. highest respect
among all American clS..sges The letter
says
Harvard can hardly do anything but
decline, not because of our strained re-
be highly unbecoming for US, being in
the third place, to be one Of the two
