Democrats Hold a RousIng NJ setius
rTtara

The rooms Of the Third Ward Demo-
cratic Club were far too small for the
vast crowd that attended the mass meet
ing. held their last evening. The haH was
thronged. and as far as the piazza in
front of the building men packed solid IN
their e~ndeavors to get a look at the
speakers and hear what they had to say.
This ward a few years ago was one OF the
Republican s~trongholds. and always polled
a large majority for the party, but since
the Third Ward Democratic Club has
been in existence ii has gradually pulled
that old time majority down until now 1t
is expected to give a Democratic major
ity. The members of this club intend to
get out next Tuesday and see if they
canot defeat the Republicans in this
ward.
AT the meeting last evening there was a
large array of speakers. and it was mid
Ugh before the meeting came to a close.
The speakers were Colonel Robert G.
Smith, Counselor De Hart, John A. Tot

TIE MAYOR INSPECTING
Watersheds, Ponds and Creeks
Are Occupying His Honor's
Mind Today.

Mayor Hoos is out inspecting the water
shed of the George B. Inman Contract
Company today. Engineers Vermeule and
Ferris accompanied him. The company's
representatives on the trip are Colonel
George B. Inman and his engineer, George
Schley. The Mayor on the last trip saw
Morris Pond. where it is proposed to es-
tablish a monster reservoir. Today will
be spent III inspecting Culver's Lake,
Long Pond and the several ponds,
creeks and streams which are tributary
to the reservoirs. which it is intended to
establish north of Culver's Lake.
Mayor Hoos and Finance Commissioner
Simpson are favorably impressed with the
Inlnan proposition. The company's propo-
sition. however, has been declared to be
informal.
It was said his morning that the Off
ciais propose inspecting the plant of the
Sheehan. OBrien, MeBean and Rogers
TIse Street and Water Commissioners
met this morning. II vas thought that
SOME action on the water question might
be taken. The subject was not discussed,
however. Commissioner Brown was
away.
A conference of all the officials interest
ed in the making OF a contract has been
suggested. Nothing IL that direction will
be done until the citys engineers are pre-
pared to make a report about the several
watersheds which have been inspected.
The indications are that nothing will be
done now until after election. 1t is prob
able, toe, that the Street and Water
Board, with its new member, will have
to handle the question, Thai will send
the contract before g Finance Board hav-
ing two. new members. That being the
case, it is likely that the new officials
will inspect the different sources of sup
ply before acting.

Who STOLE THE LIST.
Queer Disappearance of the
Registry Tally in Fitz-
patrick Hoboken
District.

The registry list of the Fourth precinct
of the Third ward, which is better
known as Tony" -Capelli's district, and
which has gained considerable notoriety
recently owing to several primary rows,
mysteriously disappeared a few days ago
from No. 800 Adams street, Hoboken,
where it had been placed for inspection.
The police were notified, but were unable
to find any trace of it. A rumor pre-
vailed thatit had been stolen to facilitate
a colonization scheme.
When Mayor Pagan learned of the dis
appearance of the list he ordered Ser
geant Nelson and all the detectives con-
nected with the Detective Bureau to make
a search for it. After monkeying around
for a day or so, they gav 1t UP last night.
"A few hours later word was received at
Police Headquarters that the registry list
had been replaced by some person or
persons unknown at No. 322 Adams street.
The detectives mad another inyestiga-
ton to ascertain the person who had re-
turned the list. but were unable to find
any clues to the capture of the culprit-

scrutinized by the friends of Capelli, with

Kelly was recalled by Justice Lippincott
and asked about the alleged intimidation.
He said he heard one man say before the
returns were signed: eff Davis sent that
man over to Hoboken I'll kill him. A
crowd gathered around and told him if he
did not sign the returns be. would be muir
dered before he left the place.
Were you afraid?" asked Justice Lip
pincott.

ness. A times | felt as If l was down

That closed the testimony and the law
yers summed Up. Mr.. Albeit eontended
that the Court has no jurisdiction in the
matter.
The Republican row over the nominal
ton of Capelli was then taken up. The
members of the committee who ncmi-
mated hirl testified that they did so be-
cause they could not find any Republic
ca nwilling to take it.
Justice Lippincott announced this morn
ing that he will decide both cases tomor-

The alacrity with which the Journal"

Rather Unnecessary severity on n
Rnnr ST.. nd glis Rcar

A man with a muzzled white bear was
in the Second Criminal Court this morn
ing. The man was John Gonzel. He
was arrested by Patrolman Waters for
exhibiting the bear in the streets without
the necessary permit or license, also for
violating an ordinance prohibiting any
one from carrying a wild animal. muz-
zled or unmuzzled, loose through the
streets. Justice Nevin fined Gonzel $40
and ordered the bear taken to a stable
near by, to be maintained at the expense
of Gonzel.
Bruin didn't seem to mind his predica-
ment in court. When his master was
arraigned he stretched his cumbersome
carcass on the floor and proceeded to
take a nap. Gonzel said he had no
money with which to either pay his fine
or to pay for the animals keep. The
order to send the bear to a nearby
stable was revoked and Bruin was lock-
ed up temporarily in a cell with his mas
ter. It was said that he would be sent
to the s. P. c.. A. shelter.
Gonzel said he came from Pennsylvania.
He led the bear with q rope attached to
a chain through Bruins nose.
