ROSWELL RUSTLINGS.
That Live Town Progressing Every Way


Roswell, N. NJ, April 9. 1S9s.-As II
slight indication of the many improve
ments taking place here, the election Of
two Republicans on the school board at
the recent election few days ago.merits
more than passing comment. For the
three year term, out of las votes cast, Fl.
Carmack, Republican, received 80 votes
]. r. Patterson. Democrat, for the
second year term received 66 votes, and
j. b. Matthews, Republican. for the first
year term r. votes.
1t will be noticed that the Democrat
did not receive As per cent of the whole
number of votes cast, and yet on the
morning after the election, he, instead
of feeling mortified over the fact that he
was not wanted on the school board as
plainly indicated by the small number of
votes he received, coolly said to one Of
Roswell's leading citizens that ''the idea
Of town like Roswell electing two Re-
publicans and only one Democrat was n
shame" OF course it Is well known
there are Democrats and Democrats.
Some Democrats in Roswell are highly
esteemed by their Republican fellow
townsmen, but they are not like friend
Patterson who is still so blind that he
can't see that the Democrats did not
want him elected, however, further COM
ment is unnecessary. Roswell is steadily
improving in population, weather, in
telligence and -- politics.

.HER DRESS IN FLAMES.
Horrible Happening in Morris
STRAIGHTFORWARD Burned Fa-

A woman was burned in Jersey City this
morning in the street in the sight of over
one hundred persons. She will probably
die. The accident occurred in Morris
street, one of the most thielkly populated
tenement house districts in the city. The
victim is Mrs. Theresa Connors, janitress
of the tenement house, No. Is Morris
street. She was literally roasted alive
in the presence of her neighbors, stran-
gers and three of her own children.
Mrs. Connors had been cleaning house,
and had gathered together a quantity Of
papers which she carried to the street
for the purpose of burning them. TAX

applied match to them and they blazed
up in an instant. A gust of wind came
along and blew a lighted newspaper un-

HOLY WEEK SERVICES.

From early yesterday afternoon till
near 10 o'clock in the evening there was
a steady stream of young and old people
passing in and out the basement of st.
Peters Church. at Grand and Van Worst
streets, to. see the handsome decorations
of the main altar in the centre of the
church.
During the evening there were great
crowds that attended the church, and the
way they were handled by the gentle
to keep the people from crushing one
ANOTHER was wonderful and greatly COM
mended. The people entering the church
proceeded to the altar on the right hand
side. of the church and after looking at
the fine decorations and saying prayer
made their departure by the left side in
single file.
The number of people that visited all
the Catholic churches in the city seemed
to surpass the numbers in previous years.

FITZPATRICK Wins.
Justice Lippineott Decides That
Capelli Is Not Entitled to
Either Nomination.

In an elaborate opinion given this
morning Justice Lippincott knocked out
Anthony Capelh as a candidate for Coun-
Gilman in the Third ward of Hoboken,
and awarded the prize to the Pagan fac
ton John Fitzpatricks name was or
dered printed on the official ballots as the
Democratic candidate. After reciting all
the facts concerning the nomination of
Capelli by a committee appointed at the
Republican convention to fill vacancies,
Justice Lippincctt says that no certifi-
cate of the nomination of Alexander Robb
had been filed, and after his declination
the matter was before the convention as
if no nomination had been made, and no
power existed in the convention at that
time TO delegate to a committee the power
to fill vacancies.
saThe conclusion which l arrive at"
Justice Lippincott continues, sis that the
convention had never finally acted, and
that without their final action no vacancy
existed over which the committee of the
convention had any power by reason OF
the alleged delegation. The formal GER
tifieate dated March 81 purports to be the
action of the Republican convention nom
mating Anthony Capelli. This is con-
ceded to be an erroneous or false certifi-
cate in every respect. 1t It conceded
mated by the Republican convention. He
was nominated by a committee OF
that convention under an all
legged delegation of power and
this certificate, under the facts before
me, which were in existence at the time
it was filed with the City Clerk, is not
such a certificate as would permit the
City Clerk to print the name of CapelH
upon the Republ, AN ballots
The opinion .sSes on to say that City
Clerk McDern<st was justified in refus-
ing to print Capellis name. Protests
had been filed on April by individual
Republicans and by members OF the City
and County Committees, who declared
that Samuel D. G. Johnson. a .Repubd-
can. was willing to accept the nomina-
ton. The City Clerk was ordered to print
Samuel d. G. Johnson's name on the Re
publican ballots.
The Court also ordered the name of
John Fitzpatrick printed on the official
ballots as the Democratic candidate for
Alderman in the Third ward. Justice
Lippincott decided that the City Commit
tee has no power to throw out the re-
turns. The committee is merely a cam
vassing body and has no nominating pow
er. 1t has authority only to order a new
primary in case it believes that fraud had
been committed at the original primary.
The decisions leave Capelli out in the
cold and the fight will be between Fitz-
patrick and Thompson.
