Edward A. Quayle is a jolly good
fellow, but that does not give him per-
petual lien upon the Office of Mayor.
The Democrats, however, are rather
short of available candidates at present,
the better part of that party having left
it. Mr.. Quayle is willing to be all
things to all men, from the street corner
loungers. who wanted the undisturbed
use of the Babbitt corner, to the Demo
cratic party who want good natured
candidate for Mayor. Mr. Quayle has
had the good fortune during nearly all
of both his terms of Office TO have a Re
publican Council, and on that account
there has been vast improvement in
the financial condition of the city and
other matters have been looked after in
a more economical manner than when
governed by the Democrats. The
Mayors lack of backbone however. has
been painfully evident at the very time
when decision was most necessary to the
good government of the city, and it will
not do for either Mr.. Quayle or his sup
porters to claim the credit of the good
work done by the Republican majority,
and especially the Republican members
of the Board of Aldermen, by whose I'M
firing efforts debt of $l3 500 was wiped

JOHN T. LINES is candidate for the
Office of Alderman in the second ward on
any ticket he can get on. He has posed
as a Republican, but failing to get a
nomination for Office by that party he
now calls himself Democrat.
He sleeps in Morristown, but lives most
of his life in New York, and has not time
at his disposal to properly attend to the
duties pertaining to the Office of Alder
man. 1t is generally believed that Mr..
Lines owes his nomination TO the fine
work of Alderman Harrie Freeman who
was anxious to dump Alderman E. A..
Fleury who has been an active and
painstaking official. Just fancy what
the Board of Aldermen would be if
"Harrie" were elected and his assistant

A BALANCE INSTEAD OF DEBT.

We call the attention of the public to
the sworn statement of the Finance
Committee of the Board of Aldermen of
which Mr.. Byram is chairman, and
which follows. No stronger proof
of the excellence of the Republican
administration of the city's finances
could be adduced. showing, as it does,
that debt of $4,000 has within the
past year been absolutely 1Utped out !,
and that there was a real balance on
hand at the end of the fiscal year:
We hereby certify that we have this
day examined the foregoing statement
and accounts of the Town Treasurer
for the year April 18th, 1897, to April
18th, 1898, compared the same with
the books and vouchers on file, and
find the same correct, and approve the
balance of Nine Hundred and Eighteen
and f6-ioo Dollars as represented by
him.
Dated Morristown, NJ. j., 18th day of
April, 1893.
This will make it possible to give large
attention to streets next year, and many
of the side streets which have hitherto
not had the care of which they were de-
serving will be thoroughly looked after.
The saving in interest alone will be
sufficient to do good deal of work.

Key West. April 2S.-The monitor
Terror has made another important
capture. She fell in off the coast of
Cuba with the large Spanish steamship

EXPLOSION AT KENvIL.
six Men Reported Killed end Many SERIOUS
iyIDjured at the Dynamite Works--List.

~--@ -AN~~AAAt0
The quiet town of Kenvil, Nor
ris county, situated four miles from
Dover and about two miles from
Lake Hopatcong, was thrown into a
.state of intense excitement at three
o'clock yesterday afternoon by an
explosion at the Atlantic Dynamite
Company's works, located about
half mile from the village. The
origin of the explosion is unknown,
but the damage done was great, six
Of the employees being instantly
killed, four fatally injured, and sew
eral others seriously burned and
shocked. The killed were: William
Stump, Elias Abers, Jasper Roy,
William Haycock, Alfred Piarck,
and David Schur. The list of the
injured includes John Thorpe, ALL
ston Eike, Carl Pratt and Thomas
Smith. The first explosion occurred
in one of the large packing rooms,
and after it three other buildings
were destroyed, with three distinct
explosions. There is not yestige
Of the buildings remaining. The
shock of the explosion was SO great
as to be heard for miles, and ma
jority of the houses in Kenvil were
badly shaken, few escaping without
broken window panes. Some of
the killed were hurled several hun
dred feet from the works, and their
remains were horribly mangled.
This makes the third destructive ex-
plosion that has happened within
three weeks in this country at mills
or other works engaged in the man
ufacture of explosives, two of them
in Morris county.
From a telephone message re-
ceived from Hon. Charles A. Baker
at noon it was learned that John
Thorpe died early this morning.
The funeral service will probably
be held in the Methodist Church,
Kenvil, on Sunday afternoon. Mr..
Baker, who happened to be close
to the works when the explosion
occurred, says it was terrific,
fairly shaking the earth and caus-
ing great damage to windows
There is absolutely no truth in
the report that the explosion was
caused by Spanish spies. The first
explosion took place in tue packing
room, supposed to be the safest de-
partment at the works.

JOHN E. PARKER, the Republican
nominee for the Mayoralty, is an old
resident of Morristown, an enterprising
property owner and business man
whose name is a household word for
honesty and reliability. He has been
successful in business, and the same
sterling qualities which have produced
that success will be at the service of the
city if elected next Tuesday, as he will
be. The Mayors chair needs new oc-
cupant, and no one can fill it more
honorably to himself and the city than
John e. Parker.
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1898-04-29

JOHN N. CoNKLIN is real affable,
agreeable fellow, well practiced in all
the arts of the Office seeker. He is a
busy man, working hard for corpora
tion in New York, SO hard that the cor
poration of the city of Morristown would
come off second best if John were elected.
We have little fear, however, that that
will be the case, as the candidate on the
Republican ticket. JOHN b. MADIGAN.
is well known and deservedly popular. He
is able, active and obliging, and will per-
form the duties of Alderman with great
credit to himself and to the entire salts
faction of the residents of the Third
Ward and the citizens generally.

VOTE TO REFLECT ALDERMAN
HURTZlG.

Emile Hurting is entitled to a re-
election to the Board of Aldermen, even
if he had accomplished nothing save get
ting the telephone wires under ground.
But that is only one of the many good
measures he has promoted. He has been
an active member of the Street, the Light
ing and other important commit
tees, and he has made his mark in every
one of them.
He is thoroughly up-to-date in all mat
tiers pertaining to the improvement of the
city. is a good 6nancier, and has leisure,
SO that he can give city affairs large
share of his attention.

gotten by the Government in any other
way.

The navy would ask nothing better
than to have the Spanish feet appear in
our eastern waters and give or accept
battle. The general opinion is that that
would be the last of that part of the
Spanish navy. But that may be the
very last thing the Spaniards are think
ing of doing. A shrewd fighter never
does what his enemy wants him to do,
but rather the very last thing his enemy
is expecting him to do. So far as our
Atlantic coast cities are concerned, they
may be regarded as safe so long at least
as our navy continued unconquered, and
nobody expects to see it conquered.

EUGENE S. GARRABRANT, the Alder
manic candidate in the Second Ward, is
an intelligent hard working mechanic
and property owner in this city, thus
belonging to a portion of our residents
who ought to be represented in the
Board Of Aldermen, and whose practical
knowledge would be great gain in
many of the matters coming before that
Board.

Freeholder cost the taxpayers of the
county of Morris good round sum, as
can easily be seen by reference to the
records on file at the County Clerks

profited most by the transaction we shall
leave the voters of the First Ward to
decide.

WAR REVENUE BILL.
Obstruction Tactics of Democrats $780,
100000 in War Bonds.

Obstruction Tactics of Democrats $780,
100000 in War Bonds.
Special Correspondence of the CHRoNIoLE.
WASHINGTON, April 27-At 4 o'clock
p. m. on Friday the House will vote on
the war revenue and bond bill and pass
it up to the Senate. There is small
probability that any important change
will be made in the bill. The opposition
in the House reached an understanding
among themselves not to oppose captious
obstruction to the measure, but to be
satisfied with making record, as they
did when the Dingley tariff bill was up
for passage last year. AS a matter of
fact the House leaders on the Democratic
side of the chamber are not in hearty
sympathy with the obstructive scheme
which will be undertaken by the free
silver majority in the Senate. They do
not subscribe to many of the vagaries
which are SO earnestly advanced by the
extremists in that body. Mr.. Bailey and
his followers do rot want to be party
to or responsible for the Senate play,
which they feel is predestined to igno-
minious and humiliating failure. The
Senate and House wings do not flop to-
gether in this matter.
~
If the obstruction program is carried
out there will be wild time in the SEN
ate and deadlock between that branch
of Congress and the administration, the
latter being backed by the House. 1t is
the purpose of the Democratic, Populist
and Free Silver Republican combination
in the Senate to prolong the discussion
over the war revenue proposition until
the Congressional campaign is far adj
vanced, and they expect to make a great
deal of political capital out of it. 1t is
their hope that they may be able to
starve the treasury into acquiescence in
some of their initiation projects. They
particularly desire to compel the coinage
of the accumulated silver seigniorage,
amounting to $42 ,0O0, 900, and in connec-
ton with this they will insist upon the
issuing of $58, 100000 in greenbacks,
enough to make with the seigniorage an
even $100, 000,000 of NEW money" all
profit. Ike originators and promoters
of this scheme really pretend to believe
that the House will agree to such plan
and the President can be bulldozed into
approving it.
Not while the Secretary of the Treas
ury can issue and sell bonds to maintain
the gold reserve will the Treasury ever
be starved out or this Government suffer
from lack of funds with which to carry
on the war. Neither now, nor at any
time during the incumb ency of William
Mckinley in the Presidential chair, can
the Secretary of the Treasury be deprived
of this authority. The next Congress
may be Democratic, but in one House or
the other there will be a sufficient num-
Der of Republicans to prevent the passage
of bill over the Presidents veto taking
that authority from the Treasury.
