BOARD OF ELECTORS CRITICIZED
Justice Lipptncogt Says That They
Are Partisan.

The Helf-Lane contest for the Office of
Councllman-at-Large in West Hoboken.
was again in evidence before Justice Lippin-
colt this morning. The County Board of
Elections submitted a report that they have
been unable to come to any agreement on
ll0 disputed ballots. The disputed ballots
snow l.04l votes for Lane and 1,O3O for
Heiff, and Lane is in possession of the office.
Justice Lippincott said that the inability
OF the Board to agree was evidently the re-
suit OF partisanship. He considered the law
defective in that it made the Board equally
divided politically. He did not see how he
could do anything further in the matter.
but he would look over the disputed ballots
again on Friday if it was desired. What
would he accomplish by that he could not
say The contestant has another remedy.
however, In quo warranto proceedings, and
then the difficulty would be settled by the
entire Supreme Court
Chairman Rich, in answer to Justice Lip
pincott, said that the disputed ballots were
ballots on which the vote for free library
had been marked improperly. If they were
all counted he did not think it would change
the result. Mr.. Frambach, Helf's counsel
said that he was inclined to agree with Mr..
Rich, and he felt disposed to drop the case
as he did not desire to put his client to any
more expense. Justice Lippiucout said he
would LOOK into the case again next Friday.

CITIZENS APPEAL TO THE MAYOR
OIL Company Seeking 10 Gross
SeVenteensh Street Mt Grade

Mayor Hoos this morning received a
deputation of citizens from the north
side of the Erie Railroad tracks, in ref
erence to an attempt by an oil company
to lay tracks across Seventeenth
street and Hoboken avenue. to connect
the company's yard with the West
Shore Railroad Company's tracks.
Messrs. Andrew J. Corcoran and John
Casey presented the case of the resi-
dents in that section who. look upon the
action of the company with alarm be-
cause if the company be permitted to
fill in on the street as they are at pres

rectly above the pipe, which is support
ed on piles and when they come to run
f1fty-ton locomotive over the tracks
they are about to build across the
street and above the pipe, the latter can
not stand the strain, and there will be
a break and a flooding of that part of
the city.
Who gave the Oil Company permits
sion to fill in that portion of the city's
streets?' asked the Mayor.
Neither Mar. Corcoran nor Mr.. Casey
could supply that information One thing
was clear and that was, the Oil Com
stopped, run tracks across the street
from their works to the railroad tracks.
In view of these statements the Mayor
promised that he would look into the
matter and take measures to protect
the city's interests. The deputation

Down on Flor WheeI-OId Man Hurt.

Miss Alice Rapp of No. 122 Lexington
avenue, was complainant in Justice Potts
court this morning against Henry GALL
of No. IA Essex street, New York, and
Simon Tinkman, of No. 1913 Clinton street
New York. The young lady was riding
down York street last evening on her
bicycle and arriving at Hudson street.
where she proposed turning in, she rang
her bell and called loudly to Gall and
Tinkman, who Were in a truck, to give
her room to pass. Rather than do as the
young lady asked, Gall, who was driving,
drew in closer to the curb Miss Rapp
was put in pocket and to save herself
she threw her right hand against the
horses neck and pushed herself off the
wheel on the sidewalk. Gall kept right
on as though nothing had occurred driv-
ing over her wheel and wrecking it. A
crowd collected and Gall whipped up his
horse hoping to escape.
Policeman Bennett was told of the oc-
currence and giving chase captured the
men. In court this morning Gall and
Tinkman pretended they could not un-
derstand English.

stand, said Justice Potts severely, that
plcycllsts have just as much right to the
streets as you have. You win pay $40,

Gall and Tinkman understood what had
been said to them very distinctly. JUS
tice Potts also advised Miss Rapp to bring
a civil suit for the value of her wheel
against the owner of the truck. His name
is Goldberg.

CHILDRBN'S DAY.
Thousands Of Little Ones En-
joying the Annual Sun
day School Parade.

This is Children's Day and thousands
Of little ones are enjoying it as only chill
dren can. The whole city is interested in
helping them in their enjoyment. There
is hardly a flag in the city that is not
flying in their honor and in honor of the
vast body they represent today.
Thousands of youngsters are parading
the principal thoroughfares this after
noon with as proud bearing as if they
We're members of the Governors military
staff. They are looked upon with envy
by those who are not eligible to parade.
Everything is in favor of the paraders.
The weather is all that could be asked.
In nearly every church of the Evangelical
denominations in the city the children
rallied at two O'Clock, dressed in their
Whltest and lightest dresses and shirt
waists. Most of them showed the care
which their fond mothers had taken to
have their appearance irreproachable.
At the churches they were met by their
teachers, who in some instances decked
them out with red, white and blue sashes.
and in all cases instructed them as to
their behavior on the march, At 2:3O
o'clock the various sections started from
their respective churches and took their
appointed places ready for the march to
begin. AS soon as the divisions were
formed in the order arranged by Grand
Marshal j. V. Foster, of Hedding NJ. f.,
Church, the columns started and followed
the lines of march laid down in the Off
cial programme which was published in
yesterdays News After the parade
entertainments will be given in the vari-
Gus churches and refreshments will be
served to the children.

It's fourth meeting, held in Pohlmann's
Hall, last night. Twenty-eight men,

locked themselves into a room and talk

charged with invectives against the
Freeholders and all who upheld the laws
governing the Boulevard, as a bottle of

each exploded in turn with about the

WHAT'S BEHIND THIS ?
Hoboken Fire Department. TO Stay
Crippled for Lack of Funds.

Grippte0 Tor Lack of Funds.
In spite of the recent disastrous fires
in Hoboken, the Hoboken Board of Tax
Commissioners yesterday appropriated
only $S0,617 for the use of the Fire De-
partment for the year 1S9T-9S. The mem
bers of the department asked for $751;
917, but for some reason which was not
given out, the appropriation was cut
down $500. This will prevent the de-
partment from purchasing any more
new engines, and the apparatus will re-
main in the same crippled condition.
The inability of the department to cope
with large fires has been demonstrated
at three fatal fires within the last year.
One of the calamities, in which whole
block of buildings was swept away, oc-
CURED only week ago.
President Martin of the Fire Board
made a strong plea before the Tax Com
missioners for a larger appropriation.
He said that the department wanted new
engines and new ffehouse If the fire
apparatus was better equipped, he said,
the people would derive benefit in
lower insurance rates
The other appropriations granted were:
For repairing sewers and receiving ba-
sins, $1,000; repaving Willow avenue.
from Newark to Eleventh streets 81 500;
repaving First street, $1,000; repaving
Ferry street, $1,000; cleaning receiving
basins, s7oo; city indebtedness, s10,3747s;
schools, $69,O97.76, and cleaning sewers,
$1,000.
The tax budget will probably be finish

NO INCREASE OF Employees.
street and Water Board EAscifne
Economy in the departments

The Journal in it's customary reck-
less way, has been criticizng the action
Of the Street and Water Commissioners
in their appointments of men in the
meter department of the city and stated
That more men were appointed than
necessary to carry on the work
When the present Commissioners took
office they found eight men in the meter
department. Seven of these were dis
missed and their places filed by seven
Democrats One man, was retained. Con-
sequently the statement that there has
been an increase is a falsehood.
Among the eight men in the Office when
the present Commissioners came into
power, there was not mechanic nor
plumber, and whenever it was necessary,
and that occurred almost daily, to take
meters apart and do plumbing work on
them, the city was obliged to engage
services of skilled men, because there
was no one in the meter department able
20 accomplish these works. The present
Board has changed all that Among the
seven men appointed there are not only
mechanics but plumbers and when the
necessity arises for their services the
city will not be obliged to spend thou-
sands of dollars annually, as the old Re-
publican Board did, for work done by

ALLAN MDERMOTT'S BURGLAR.
Five Policemen Attempt to Capture
Him.

Mr.. Allan McDermott has burglar
alarm in his house which is connected
with an electric hell in the Oakland ave
nue. police station. At eleven O'clock
this morning the alarm rang in the sta
tion. Captain Kelly, thinking that
thieves had broken into Mr.. tMcDermott's
place, sent Detective Keenan,, Sergeant
McGuinness and three policemen to inves-
tigate. They ran at full speed down
Oakland avenue and Newark avenue, and
so on through Willow Court. They gath
cred tremendous crowd as they ran,
and by the time Mr.. McDermotts house
was reached nearly 200 persons were
close upon the heels of the officers They
found man standing on the rear steps
with his shirt sleeves rolled up. Detec-
tive keenan, accosted him and demanded
to know what the trouble was. The
man replied that Mr.. McDermott was
going away next month, and is having his
house repaired preparatory to leaving.
Several workmen are employed on tile
job and one of them set off the burglar
alarm to test it and see that it was in
proper order for the summer
When this was communicated to the
crowd, which had begun to believe that
murder had been done, it dispersed in
disgust. The officers felt rather Sheep
ish, but they returned TO the station
with the sense that they had at least
been vigilant and done their duty

DARING BURGLAR THIS.
Rifled she Bedrooms while the In
mates slept.

A daring burglary was committed some
time during last night at the house of Ben
jamin Whyte, No. 1856 Union Street. The
house is three-story and basement frame
cottage with an extension. The burglar
made his way in through the basement
window at the rear and succeeded in opening
the door at the head of the stairs without
awakening any of the family He got into
the room where Mr.. Whyte and his wife
were sleeping, and took Mr.. Whyte's vest
from the head of the bed where 1t was hang
ing and carried it downstairs to the dining
room. Before leaving the house he either
blew out the gas in the hall or else turned it
off and then on again, and the odor of gas
permated the entire upper part of the house.
Every member of the family had a head
ache this morning and it is thought that if
the gas had begun to escape at an earlier
hour the entire family or some of them
might have been asphyxiated. The burglar
secured gold watch and chain for which
Mr.. Whyte had paid $3.50, gold ring and
some other jewelry valued in all at $780,

PLUoKY ELEVATOR BOY.
He Prevents a Man From Striking a
Woman on His Car.


The legal battle of Jacob Eibel against
Otto Vom Fell. which ragged all day yes
terday in the Court of Chancery, mar
rowly escaped ending in bloodshed in the
afternoon. When the court adjourned for
the day. Mrs. Ethel, wife of the plaintiff,
and Vom Fell got into the same elevator.
AS Mrs. Eibel saw Vom Fell she mutt
tered something about swindlers and
thieves. Vom Fell bristled up immedi-
ately.
Don't you call me thief or a
swindler," he said excitedly, ''or I'll strike
you," and he advanced toward Mrs. Eibel
in threatening manner.
Just then Robert Ferrier the boy who
runs the elevator, grabbed vom Fell by
the arm and pushed him away, saying:
'There'll be no striking in the car
1t was wonderful how the man who
would strike woman quailed before the
determined attitude of the boy. Mrs.
Eibe1 was not hit
Eibel bought the house No. 1856 Grim
street for $500 on the representation that
1t was new building, he alleges in his
bill to have the sale set aside, and when
ne took possession he found that it was
an Old structure. The case was on again
all day, oday.
