NEW TROLLEY ROAD.
North Jersey Company Com
pletes its Montclair- -Cald-
well Connection.

The North Jersey Street Railway Com
pany opened a new branch of their sys-
tenn yesterday and it bids fair to be a
very great success and distinctly a boon
to a section of the road against which
there had been much opposition The new
branch is the Montclair and Caldwell con-
nectiens.
At five O'Clock yesterday morning the
road was opened and for the first time an
open car ran above Bloomfield to the
places mentioned The new connection
embraces the crossing of the spur track
of the D., L. & W, r. R.. and at present
passengers leave the car at one side of
tae railroad track for the other where
another car 2waits them. In a fe.T days
the North Jersey Company will have frogs
laid across and the connection viii be
complete.
An odd thing about the new road is that
for some time many goody goOdy people.

sition to connect Montciair and Caldwell.
with the main system. Yesterday, how
ever the wind ofN public opinion COM
pletely changed and from five O'Clock in
the morning until eight in the evening
that open car was crowded and the good
people were enthusiastic IN their praise
of the new arrangements.
To Newark and Jersey City this eonnec-i
cannot fail to benefit the travelling people
of both cities. It will be possible now to
take a moonlight ride during these hot
nights from the P. r. r. depot in/Jersey
City or Newark to points in the Passaic
Valley justly famed for their beauty.

DAILY AND HUDSPETH.
They Will Be Leaders Of the
Democratic County
Ticket.

When it was first suggested that Senator
William D. DAILY and ex-Judge Robert
Hudspeth would probably be the Con-
gressional and Senatorial candidates re-
specuvely, there were few politicians
who predicted that the gentlemen would
not work together well. Those gentlemen
are gradually changing their minds. The
fact is a pretty well established one now
that DAILY and Hudspeth will receive the
whole support of the party leaders. That
being the case their nomination at the
primaries is regarded as certainty. That
the nominees will work together har-
moniously is considered likely Within
the last week the prospective candidates
have been brought together many times
and it is whispered that they have already
mapped out plan of campaign. Within
the next ten days it is likely special
meeting of the County COMMITTEES will
be called for the purpose of issuing In
structions to the ward and precinct clubs
to get to work at once rebuilding fences
Aand preparing for a long and vigorous
campaign.
Judge Hudspeth has gone to his country
home. in Canada, to recuperate MIR.
Hudspeth has not been in the political
arena in so long that he deems it pru-
dent TO take a rest SO as to be prepared
to carry out the work that win be assign
ed him. Senator DAILY has just returned
from the Thousand Islands. where he
spent a week. He is going away again,
however, this time to the mountains
where he will remain for at least three.
weeks.
Those friends Of Counselor Young, who
were urging him for renomination have
gone over to the DAILY side of the house.
With DAILY and Hudspeth at the head OF
the ticket in the counEy, the party Lead
ers believe that great victory will be
won. The party leaders propose making
up strong Assembly ticket, and unusual
care is to be taken in the selection Of
Freeholder candidates. 1t is said In some
quarters that the party's Boulevard Com
missicners have already been agreed up-

WHERE is THE LAW FOR THIS?
Man Fined Because He Would Not
XIII His Dog.

Michael Ryan, of No AZ Wayne street,
was fined $40 by Police Justice Potts, in
the First Criminal Court this morning for
failing to destroy dog which had bit
ten the three year old son Of Mrs. Regina
Brown, of No. 61s Wayne street. The
boys ear was nearly bitten off. He VIII be-
disfgured for life. Ryan was summoned
to appear in the First Criminal Court
last week TO explain what had become OF
the dog. He alleged that he had killed 1t
after the accident, but he could produce
no positive proof that the dog was dead.
Proof was produced blythe other side
that the dog wass still living, and that 1t
had been concealed SO that the police
could not get it. In rendering his decis-
ton this morning, Police Justice Potts re-
viewed the testimony and said:-rThe evil
dence is that the dog has not been de-
stroyed If l had my way l would have
every vicious or ugly dog in the city tax
en- out and shot If the child that was
bitten belonged TO me would bring suit
for damages, and would make the dam
ages as heavy as possible. Mrs. Brown
has good grounds for a suit for damages.
I will fine Ryan $40, the full penalty.
Ryan was not in court when the decis-
ion was rendered.

ENGINEERS IN POLITICS
They Will Support Candidates
Pledged to the License
Law.

The engineers of Hudson county held
well attended meeting last evening at
Pythagoras Hall, Newark avenue and
Third street. One hundred and twenty
one were present. The meeting is the
first one that has been held In this city
for over seventeen years and 1t was called
for the purpose of taking action in the
coming campaign and putting a ticket in
the field in this city and throughout the
State. The engineers give as their reason
for doing this that they have been trying
for the past seventeen years to get a law
passed by the Legislature licensing all
engineers throughout the State, but they
have received nothing as yet.
The speakers of the evening were w. H.
Crowley, abraham Graham, Robert Cabe,
Henry cluet and William Royal. A num-
that since the law was passed in Greater
New York authorizing the licensing of
engineers and requiring them to be resi-
dents Of the city, all the non-iicensed
men were focking to this city and State
to get positions. They generally got
them, as they work for the small amount
of SO and $12 per week The wages of a
first clas sengineer range from SIS to 25
At the next meeting 1t is expected that
every first elias sengineer throughout Hud-
son county will be present and some very
important business will be transacted.

from States that have the least represen-

the various regiments at Camp Thomas
are in a state of anxiety and will continue
in such until it is known who will go.
The present indications are that the
next troops to go will be from the Third
Corps Powerful influences have been
brought to bear lately upon the Presi-
dent and the War Department In behalf
of the First Vermont, Eighth New York
and Third Tennessee, these regiments
comprising the Third Brigade, First Di-

retary of War Meikiejohn, who Is also a
Nebraskan, and besides Secretary Meikle-
john, Senator Proctor of Vermont Con-
gressman Benton McMillin of Tennessee
and prominent representatives OF New
York have urged the inclusion of this
brigade in an early expedition to the
front.
The brigade is mustered to its maxi
mum, is fully equipped and splendidly
drilled. The States represented have no
very considerable representation at the
front as yet. Senator Proctor has tele-
graphed the First Vermont that it would
assuredly be included in the very first

General Greely, Chief Signal officer, was

qualification today that he was now IN
direct cable communication with General
Miles headquarters at Ponce, Porto Rico;
Heretofore all messages from the General

a delay of from twelve to twenty hours.
When the Spanish forces retreated from
Ponce they destroyed the cable instru-
merits.
General Greedy has succeeded In getting
the officials at st, Thomas to send oyer

was opened. The present cable now runs
from Ponce to St. Thomas thence 10

one or two routes to New York.

they will not allow their cables TO pc

Text Of His Despatch to
Madrid, Urging the Sur

Correspondence of the Associated Press.]
GUANTANAMO, PROVINCE OF SAN
TIAGO DE CUBA, Cuba, July 25, 1885,
An official report of General Linares to
the Madrid Government transmitted on
July IS, is full of pathos, as it tells OF
Spaniards thousands Of miles from home
striving to defend property which the
very owners have deserted. The report
sent by cable on July 13 was addressed
to the Minister of Marine. It was trans
lated for The Associated Press by Com
modore Schley The text in full is as fol-

the Minister of War from the General
in-Chief Of tne Division Of Santiago de
Cuba
Although confined to my bed by great
weakness and in much pain, the situa-
tion of the long-suffering troops here oc-
cupies my mind 10 such an extent that l
deem it my duty to address Your Ex-
cellency that the state of affairs may be
explained
.Enemys lines very near the town on
account Of the nature of the ground; our
lines are in full view from them. Troops
weak; sick In considerable proportion not
sent to hospitals owing to the necessity
for keeping them in the entertainments.
Horses and mules without the usual al
Iowance of forage. In the midst of the
wet season, with twenty hours daily fall
of rain in the trenches, which are simply
bitches dug in the ground without any
permanent shelter for the men, who have
nothing but rice to eat. and no means of
changing or drying their clothing. Con
siderable losses; field officers and COM
pany officers killed wounded and sick de-
prive the troops of necessary orders in
critical moments.
eUnder these circumstances it is inpos-
sible to fight our way out, because in ar
tempting to do so,our force would be lack
ing one-third Of the men, who could mol
leave. ana we would be weakened be-
sides by casualties caused by the enemy,
resulting finally In veritable disaster
without saving our diminished battalions.
In order to get out, protected by the Ho!-
guin division, it will be necessary for me
to come and break the enemys S lines, in
order that my forces may break through
in some other place, both acting in con-
junction. For this operation the Hol-
guin division will require eight days, and
win have to bring a large amount of ra
tions. which it is impossible to transport.
The solution of the question is ominously
imposed upon us. Surrender Is Inevitable
and We can only succeed in prolonging the
agony. The sacrifice is. useless and the
enemy understands this. They see our
lines, and theirs being well established
