Grant Club Republicans Repudiate
Treachary at Convention

There is trouble I'M the Republican ranks.
of the Seventh Ward The nomination for
Flreeholder was coveted by two of the
most prominent organizations In that
ward One of them, the Greenville League
Club, was unfortunate enough NOT to have
a single delegate elected at the primary,
while the other, the U. S. Grant Club,
had three elected. The latter felt conf
DENT of victory and started a thorough
canvass for their candidate, Mr.. William
]. Doll After weeks of quiet canvassing
they had secured the majority of votes,
that is, so they said; but they kept 1t
quiet until Within day or two before the
convention, when it leaked out.
At the convention held on Saturday
evening in the Belvidere Hall the Grants
We're ignominfously turned down. When
tEla first ballot was counted they we're
found to have only their own three votes,
while bhe League Club, without a single
delegate of its own, had the other Ilsne.
So when the chairman announced Frank
Piercy, the victorious candidate, the de-
feated Grant trio arose and indignantly
withdrew.
A special meeting of the Grants was
called recently for the purpose of endors-
ing the victorious candidate and If ac-
counts of it can be depended upon 1t was
q very lively meeting. Some of the MEM
ben5 wanted the candidate endorsed, while
eithens wanted Joseph P. Murray, the
Democratic candidate, endorsed, and 1t
is said the latter won the day. Mr.. MUIR

affect the general railroad business traffic
of the United States, and with lowered

The Congressman, too, was loudly
cheered and left in a special train for
Easton. Pa, where he will address a
mass meeting this evening.
Mr.. Alva A. Bedell, Sound Money can

ALL FOR SOUND MONEY
Railroad Men Hold a Big Mass
Meeting This Morning-Mr.
Collins Speech.

Nearly six hundred railroad men met
IN the United States Express sheds ON
the south side of the Gap this morning
to hear speakers in favor of sound money.
The meeting was hurriealy convened by
the Jersey City Terminal Railway Sound
Money Club and the results were emil
nently fattering to the organizers. The
railroad operatives turned out en- masse
and paid marked attention to the brief
speeches.
President C. L. Fell, of the club, opened
the meeting and presented Mr.. joseph
H. Donnelly, agent of the Jersey City
Terminal Railway, as it's president. Mr..
~Donnelly briefly explained the objects of
the meeting and introduced ex-Mayor
Gilbert Collins.
Mr. Collins confined his remarks to
meeting the arguments of the silver men
and in the course of a very able speech
said that whatever might have been the
result of the so-called crime of '7s and
the demonetizatien of silver. one thing
was perfectly certain and that was. if

and this OF course would put a burden on
gold which would seriously endanger the
interests and prosperity Of the country.

NO MARRIAGE SHOWN.
Chancellor McGill Refuses
to Give Any Allnony
to Miss Seibel.
PHASE OF THE FAMOUS RUH CASE
Guttenberg's GausesGelebre Ordered
to a Speedy Trial When SEN
sations Will Be in Order.


Chancellor McGnl this morning refused
the application of Miss Helena A. seibel
of Gutenberg, for ajimony and counsel
fees pending a suit for maintenance
which she has brought against Justice
Charles F. Ruh, a wen known and promi-
nent resident of North Hudson, who. she
asserts, is her husband
Counsellor Otto Grouse, representing
Miss Seibel. or Mrs, Ruh, which ever 1t is,
read the bill which sets out that She was
secretly married to Mr.. Rub in January.
1888, who was then a widower with two
grown UP daughters. They were married,
time of the ceremony she was twenty
seven years old and he fifty-two; No
mention is made in the bill Of the name
or the minister who officiated.
After the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs Ruh
remained at a Kingston hotel until the
Following afternoon, when they returned
to this county. Before they separated,
she says he made her promise to keep
thelr marriage secret, but in due season
he would make it public. There were
many reasons he added why it was not
prudent to let the world know about it..
When they separated on January 2 he
went to his home in the Town of Union
and she to her parents home in Gutten-
berg. From that time Mrs. Ruh says,
she met her husband several times in
New York City, where in the. hotels they
stopped at ner husband always registered
as Mr.. Ruh and Wife,
III the summer of 1894 Rub sent his
daughters TO the country and brought
his wife to his home on Blum street,
Town of Union, where she presided over
his home.
Towards the fall of the following year
Mrs. Ruh says, her husband evinced a
desire to get rid of her and refused to
keep his promise TO make their marriage
public. Because he refused to contribute
to her support she left him and hence
the present suit, and since she has been
obliged to keep herself by working in
a dry goods store in New York city
Mr.. Grouse asked the Chancellor in
view of these facts to grant her alimony
and counsel fees pendente lite.
Opposing the application were Counsel
lors Gilbert Collins and James L. Gordon,
and they set up general denial to the
charges contained in the bill. Rub ceuh-
sci said, was never married to Miss
Seibel and for that reason the Court
could not give alimony as it could do
in a suit for divorce where the fact
of the marriage was admitted.
The Chancellor agreed with counsel and
refused TO give any alimony. but sug-
gested that speedy trial should take
place, when Mrs, Ruh could establish the
marriage The argument then ended.
Mr.. Grouse was seen afterward and he
said that his client would quickly estab-
lish that fact. The testimony Will in all
probability be taken before a Master or
one of the Vice Chancellors, to whom
the Chancellor will refer the case.
