Field Club Dog show

President Smith of the Field Club is
already at work arranging for the second
annual dog show which will be held on
the Field Club grounds during the latter
part of June. It will be remembered
that the show held last summer, al
though little time was allowed for pre-
paration, was very successful. This
year the number of entries will be larger
and will, it is understood, include many
noted dogs. Competition will be open to
the members of the Field, Morris County
and the Morristown Clubs and their
friends.

Final Meeting Of Old Board-Electric Light
Conduit Ordinance Passed.

The special work of the last meeting OF
the Board of Aldermen for 1878.
held last Friday evening, was the passage
of the ordinance for underground cleo
tric light wiring. The meeting was in
teresting also from the fact that mum
Der of the newly elected members were
present, doubtless to witness the mode of
procedure and become acelimated.
Among Communications was an invita-
tion to the Mayor and Board to attend
the Ladies Night Entertainment of the
Royal Arcanum, at the Y. NJ. G. A.
Building, on Wednesday evening last.
Under suspension of rules. the Board
heard the request Of Robert d. Foote, in
behalf of tie Memorial Day Association,
for the usual appropriation of 800 for
the celebration of Memorial Day, and
later the appropriation was voted. Col
lector Becker's report showed $6, 900 COL
lected on taxes and paid to the city dur
ing last month. The Board of Engineers
reported the election of Robert D. Foote
to Independent Hose Company John
Kane to Washington Engine Company;
Fl. Fl. Fairchild to Resolute Fl. and L.
Company, and Benjamin Sayre, R.
Whitehead and A. Thompson to HUI
name Engine Company. The resignation
of J. E. Stiles and Albert Wayrich from
the Resolutes was also reported.
Chief Engineer Stevens reported the
fires for the month, and also presented
his annual report, showing at present 165
active fremen; giving inventory of fire
apparatus; reporting 5000 feet of good
hose in service; that the fire alarm sys-
tenn, consisting Of miles of wire and Il
alarm boxes, and with 1,000-pound
alarm bell, was in good condition; also
10 hydrants and cisterns in use. There
were sixteen general alarms of fire dur.
ing the year. Among recommendation
were the addition of several hydrants and

hose drying.
Police Justice Cliff reported $64. 80, as
collected from fines and costs, the same

mendation of the Finance Committee,
the bond Of Constable j. W. Babbitt for
81 500 was accepted. Also. on motion of

'93, '94, 95 and SO, as she had exhibited
receipts for the same.
Marshal Halloway's monthly report

the lookup. The yearly report showed
408 arrests or 81 more than last year,
and 398 persons lodged.
Alderman Carrell, for the Street Com
mittee, reported that new stone crusher
of sufficient capacity to furnish stone for
the streets, of 175 to 275 tons per day,

Organization Deadlock.

Wednesday marked the organization
of the new board, or rather, the attempt
at organization. Early in the morning
morning the Freeholders, county officers
and others interested or curious gathered
at the hall to discuss the situation, but ii
could be seen at once that trouble was
brewing by the unfortunate tie member
ship. Republicans and Democrats had
each arranged their slate and it was
learned that the fight was to be over the
Board Committees, all of the officers hold
ing over, save the director and county
road engineer. The Democrats were de-
termined to follow the order of last year,
taking the Engineer, with the Road,
Courthouse, Almshouse and Miscellan-
eous Committees, by far the four most
important, which would leave for the
Republicans the Director and the
Finance, Lunacy and Printing Commit
tees. This the Republicans claimed as
unfair declaring that this division gave
the Democrats offices salaried at S., 500,
and all important committee, and left
for them 50, 100 in salaried offices and
three minor committees.
On the other hand the Democrats
asserted that the office of Road Inspector
now held by the Republicans carried
with it more patronage than any other
department of work, which the Republi-
cans again offset by the statement that
the Road Inspector always employed
those men proposed by the Freeholders
from the district where work was
located.
Thus it was, when Clerk Everett called
the members to order exactly at IL M,
on Wednesday, the roll of members
standing as follows:

CHRONICLE WAR. NEWS.

The past week, though enliyened
from day to day with intense ex-
pectancy and varied by rumors the
majority of which were groundless
and some of them absurd, produced
few real war events.
On Wednesday the torpedo boat
Winslow, with the gunboats Hud-
son and Wilmington, made a dash
ing entrance of Cardenas harbor,
engaging the Spanish forts and
vessels, which replied hotly, killing
four on the NVinslow, including
Ensign Bagley, and badly wound
ing Lieutenant Commander Berna-
dou, and entirely disabling the
Winslow.
At the same time an American
attack, without result, was made on
Cienfuegos, on the opposite side Of
Cuba.
Meanwhile the gunboat Machias,
twelve miles away, bombarded and
reduced Cuban battery, planting
the American flag upon the ruins.

When Freedom from her mountain
height
Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night
And set the stars of glory there.
She mingled with it's glorious dyes
The milky baldric of the skies
And striped its pure, celestial white
With streakings of the morning light.
Then from his mansion in the sun
She called her eagle bearer down
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen land.

The sign of hope and triumph, high!
When speaks the signal trumpet tone
And the long line comes cleaning on
Ere yet the lifeblood warm and wet
Has dimmed the glistening bayonet,
Each soldiers eye shall brightly turn
To where thy sky born glories burn
And, as his springing steps advance,
Catch war and vengeance from the

a recess was declared to o'clock. When
this hour arrived, after roll call and
similar action, the Board excluded the
reporters and spectators and discussed
among themselves, taking half hour
recesses until $50, when recess was de-
clared until Z O'Clock.
On the invitation of Maj II. M. Dal-

For the first time since the memorable
deadlock of year ago the Freeholders'
hall was lighted for an evening session.
About the members came together, and
continued the experience of the after
noon, save that adjournments were for
slightly longer periods. AS the hours
fled, many became worried, fearing a
repetition of the all night session year
ago and there was a greater stir to effect
compromise. Republican members
proposed several schemes of concession.
Among them were an alternate choice of
committees. giving their opponents first
choice, but Of no avail. There was no

their demand and would listen to moth

Toward noon the feeling that another
all night session was probable was gain

noticeable stir in the Republican ranks,
