P%EACEMAKER MURDERED.
Il. f. Kane Killed i'm New Jersey
While SuccOring a Friend.

Details of the murder of Elmer f. Kane,
at White House. N. j., recently, have just
been received by relatives living in this city.
Mr.. Kane was an employee of the Postal
Telegraph Cable Company. with which firm
he had been employed fourteen years. On
Saturday evening, April 2, William Mitchell,
a colored man Of twenty, had trouble with a
number of postal linemen at a hotel. He
was thrown TO the street. At that time he
made threats, boasting that he had killed
two white men in Georgia. Later in the
evening Mitchell entered a barber shop
where Assistant Foreman r. G. Mackillio-
ray was waiting his turn with other Postal
employees, Mitchells employer, James n.
Pidcock, a railroad superintendent. remain
ing outside. Pidcock had made things I'M
pleasant for the linemen. it is said, and
there was bad feeling between them. He
took up his coachman's quarrel. Mitchell
renewed his threats. Mackillioray put him
out of the shop. He came back with Pid-
cock. The latter attacked the foreman.
Just at that moment Mr.. Kane happened to
pass the shop. Seeing Pidcock attacking
his friend he entered to separate them. He
caught hold of Pidcock and in the struggle
Pidcock fell to the floor, Kane having him
by the shoulders. Then Mitchell. the coll
ored man, fired a revolver, which Pidcock
is said to have handed him as they entered
the shop. One of the bullets struck Kane
in the groin and another hit a second man,
inhicting a slight wound. The colored man
fed from the shop and escaped. Kane was
taken TO St. Michaels Hospital, at Newark
where he died the following Wednesday.
Pidcock was arrested for assault and bat
terry. Although he was released on $500 bail.
he was subsequently rearrested on a more
serious charge. In his charge to the grand
jury, especially called TO investigate the
case, Justice Gummere plainly asserted

NORTH SIDE PAVEMENTS
POLITICS DEVELOPS IN THE PLAN OF
PAVING CROSS STREETS.
More Delay in Getting the Telephone
Contract Confrmed--Munic-
ipal Notes.

The administration has denied all along
that there was any politics in the deter
mination to improve east-and-west streets
north of st. Clair and south of sixteenth
street, but the insincerity of this conten-
ton came to the surface last night In Coun-
ell. Considerably more than half OF the
property affected demonstrated against the
improvements, but the board decided TO send
them to the Council. The streets lie In Re-
publican wards and it was believed no Marin
could be done the administrations party by
loading expensive improvements on the resi-
dents. The property owners, findlng that
their representations to the board mad no
effect, have appealed to their councllmen
to oppose the ordinances. Last night, as
had been forecasted in the Journal, the
committee on sewers, streets and alleys sub
mitted a report favoring the passage OF the
ordinances, but they were not called up,
Commodore Higgins, chairman OF the
committee, afterward explaining that the
Democrats did not have enough votes to
paGs the ordinance. 1t takes a tw~o-thirds
vote, or fourteen members. But thirteen
Democrats were present and the opposition
from the councilmen from the North Side
was strong enough to have defeated them
last night. The Democrats absent were
Merrick, Harston, Scanlon and Madden. 1t
is understood a special Council meeting will
be called this week, as the administration
is anxious to have the ordinance passed so
that the work may begin.
Somebody connected with the Board of
Works evidently fell down when it came to
performing the duty of transmitting a mes
sage to City Clerk ~Stuckmeyer informing
him that the board had signed a contract
with the New Telephone Company. Neither
the message nor an ordinance ratifying the
contract were on hand and there will be
still further delay in getting cheap tele-
phones. T. j. Montgomery. a member of the
board, was at the meeting. He could not
imagine, he said, why the ordinance had
not been sent to the Council unless the Tel
ephone Company had for some reason re-
quested a delay. S.. P. Sheerin, vice presi-
dent of the company, was out of the city.
President A. H. Nordyke said that the COM
pany had not requested any delays. 1t had
confidently expected that the contract would
night. The company is anxious to begin the
location of it's plant.
On motion of Mr.. Costello Mr.. Harston's
ordinance providing that city employees shall
continue to draw their salaries while away
at war was stricken from the files.
A resolution abrogating an assessment of
$4 on the lot of II. f. Kinney on account
Of an old proceeding for the opening of
Rohampton street, was introduced. The as
have been held invalid by the
courts.

that Mr.. Kane was acting as a peace
maker. and that his murder was done in
cold blood. From the circumstances the
court felt impelled to instruct the jury to
ascertain whether Pidcock was an Access
sorry to the crime. AT last accounts Mitch
ell was still at large, although the Postal
Telegraph Gable Company was bending
every effort to assist the authorities TO
%apprehend him. telegraphing his description
all over the Eastern country.
Mr.. Kane was well known in this county.
He was born in Westfield. DR.. John Kane,
of Rosston. is his father. Attorney Thomas
Kane. of Noblesville, is his uncle. Other
cived from several of Mr.. Kane's asso-
ciates, in which he is spoken of in the high
est terms of regard. The young man was
thirty-nine years of age and unmarried.
Owing to the remote location of White
House. details of the crime were rather diff
fcult to secure.

that she had an encounter with a highway

came and caught her by the arm. AS he did
so he exclaimed: Your money or your life"

ran. She described the man and is confident
she should know him again.

The Irvington town election occurred yes

improvements, including the paving of
Washington street through the town limits.
1t is the same element that is now in power.
The fight was a bitter one, however, and
the victory was a narrow one. There were
cast a total of S65 votes, the largest ever
cast in Irvington. Some delay in announc-
ing the result was occasioned by nine votes
being contested. The two factions were
known as the Peoples party and the Home
Rule party, the latter comprising the pro-
gressive element. William 1. Coons was the
candidate for treasurer on both tickets, but
by mistake his name was placed only on the
Peoples ticket, although he was nominated

judges decided that this was a distinguish
