The Frank H. Kimmerly Association
paid its respects to the voters of the

The hall, which seats about five hundred
people, was crowded to the doors, the

at the rear of the hall. The meeting
was one of the most enthusiastic ever

SOMETHING OF AN OUTRAGE.
Three Men Acquitted After Being
six Months In Jail.

John Carroll, John Flynn and James
Farrell, who have been in Jail for six
months, and tried twice for having bur-
glars tools IN their possession, We're
tried for the third time yesterday and
acquitted. The three men were arrested
last May. They had an ordinary file in
their possession. On the day that they
were sent to the County Jail the Ser
geant on duty at the First precinct sta
ton telephoned to the Jail that three
desperate criminals were on their way
to the Jail, and it would be well to
have few officers in waiting for them
to prevent their escape.
The Jail authorities sent over to the
Oakland avenue station, and the reserves
were ordered cat. When the patrol wag-
on arrived at the Jail there was a
squad of officers to receive the men. 1t
was then discovered that the men sent
up were only ordinary loafers. The
Sergeant had sent up the wrong men.
When the men were. tried the jury dis

They were again tried yesterday. Ex-

The Hoboken Police Believe
Mr.. Burke is a Wolf
Who Howls at
Night.

!
Recorder McDenough of Hoboken be-
lieves that he and the police have been
( imposed upon by a smooth young man
named Burke. Burke first made his ap-
pearance in Hobolxen about three months
ago, and according to the police, has
spent most of his time here in company
of depraved characters of both sexes.
He first appeared at Police Headquarters
about six weeks ago on the occasion of
the arrest of Clara Dugan and Freida
| Thorn. two of Hobokens worst charac-
terS. Burke declared the arrest of the
women to be an outrage. He represented
himself as being an entirely disinterested
person, who had witnessed the whole af-
fair. and said he would spend a hundred
dollars to right the alleged wrong. A
fine of $40 was paid by him under pro-
test for each of-the women. and he de-
clared that he would have the matter car
ried to the higher courts. Burke was
well dressed and displayed a great roll
t-of greenbacSs.
IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE.
Y On the following day the local news
papers published "a letter over his sigma
ture criticising the officials action and
stating that he would fight the case for
the woman as a matter of justice. The
bold stand taken by the fellow led many
of the police officials to believe that Pa
trolman Weinthal, who had always
borne a good reputation, had possibly
made mistake. They became suspic-
ious of Burke, however, when it was
ascertained that he had hired a coach
and driven to Snake Hill at midnight
with the discharge for the woman in his
possession.
Chief Donovan suspected from the first
that something else than sympathy
caused the fellow to interest himself in
the woman and he had him put under
surveillance.
Last night Annie Schmidt and Annie
Miller, two notorious characters, left
Eokling's saloon in River street and met
to secure admission to neighboring
hotel and Officer Rabold arrested the
women for soliciting.
A CHAMPION OF WOMEN.
offered to pay the fines of both women,
which were $40 each. The Recorder re-
fused to accept it, declaring that the on
ly way to keep the women off the street
was to send them up. Then the Recor-
him that he paid the fines of women
for immoral purposes. Chief Donovan,
who was in the court room at the time,
directed Detective Gallagher to hunt up

TEE Third AROUSED.
Republicans Soundly Raked on
State and Local Issues.

A well attended meeting of the Ihlrd
Ward Democratic Club was held last night
in its rooms at Jersey avenue and First
streets While section of the boys brigade
of the alleged Republican parade was pass
ing the clubhouse, good Democrats exploded
bombs and attracted men to the Democratic
meeting, while the boys who were marching
with the Republicans for the purpose OF get
ting flag, tried to cheer.
James N. Davis presided at the meeting.
He expressed his pleasure at seeing the
rooms packed to overhowing, notwithstand-
ing the fact that such an unusual thing as
so-called Republican parade was on the
boards. Mr. Davis urged upon his hearers
the necessity of registering. He explained
how those who had neglected it SO far might
get their names on the list Saturday.
BAD LEGISLATION.
Counsellor George Fremont made
rattling speech and was applauded frequent
ly. He attacked the Republicans OF their
actions in the Legislature last year. He de-
clared that partisan measures were the only
ones to which they gave attention, while
those which would have benefited the peo-'
pc were side-tracked or pigeon holed at the
order of corporations.
Counsellor John J. Mulvaney also handled
the Republicans without gloves He said it
would be a disgrace to thee State to elect
Republican Governor He declared that
Democrats in all parts of the county are
united ana he expects McGill to carry the
county by 5000 and the State by 5000 or
more.
AN OLD TIME ROAST.
Collector P. Fl. O'Neil made one of his old
time speeches He first tackled Republicans
upon their i'll treatment of veterans. He
raked them fore and aft to the delight of the
assemblage. He took up the new City Hall
question and il the ears of 1900 Republic
can Broome did no tingle all sense of feeling
| must have deserted them. He referred to
the revelations made by 1.-THE Jersey City
News much to the delight of his hearers.
He declared that indictment should fall
upon the men responsible for the work that
has been done.
Counsellor Alexander Simpson also ad-
dressed the meeting He is suffering from a
severe cold but he had voice enough to tear
John W. Griggs, Max Salinger and all the
Assembly candidates to pieces in fine form.
Counsellor John Marion spoke on State issues
and called particular attention to the efforts
of the Republicans to prevent the passage OF
any measure which would enhance the in
terests of the laboring man. He dwelt upon
Senator Days gallant fight for labor and
and for all measures intended for the public
good He urged upon everyone the neces-
sity of supporting the enIire Democratic
ticket.
He predicted glorious Democratic victory,
as all Democrats are loyal.
