Killed by a Fall.

A special telegram from Dickinson
Monday morning states that Charles H.
Klinefelter, proprietor Of the st. Charles
hotel, manager of the Dickinson opera
house, and one of the best known bust
ness men of the city was killed last
night by a fall from the steps at the real
of his hotel. The steps are high, and
he fell from the top, his neck being
broken.
The deceased was a man about GO
years of age, and had been prominently
identified with the affairs of the city
since 1881. He erected and managed
the Willard house for a number of years,
being succeeded in the ownership of
that hotel by Frank kim. He then
built the Dickinson opera house, re-
modelling it afterward and making a
hotel, one of the neatest in the state.
Later he erected another opera house,
of which he was manager.
The sudden and sad death of Mr..
Klinefelter hes been a great shock to
his many friends in Dickinson, and a
severe blow to his family, he leaving a
wife and a large number of children.

From 'Ihe Jersey City News Ul 5dtulua3I
To day we print on our first page the portrait Of the leading
Democrat in the State Of New Jersey and one Of the ab1est and
most devoted leaders Of the party in the country-Anan I. Nc
Dermott.
With the picture will be found a brief recital Of the events in
his career, designed to refresh the memory Of the voters OF Hud-
son touching the many claims which he has upon their friendship
and support.
Mr.. McDermott has been in politics for many years, and
there has not been a year in which he has not done the Democratic
party high service. He was the right hand man Of Leon Albeit
in alDfis great undertakings in the interest Of the people He was
the savior Of Jersey City from bankruptcy. He prevented the
imposition OF a Mayor and municipal boards upon the city BY
partisan Legislative decree.
He has fought the battle Of Democracy all over the State
He has carried the war into Republican counties and secured VIC
tory there again and again. His foreeful voice, his brilliant pen,
his busy brain, have always been at the service Of disparity and the
people.
Above all, Mr.. McDermott now seeks election to the State
Senate for the opportunities which the post will afford him Tor
making war upon Republican corruption and false pretence, upon
corporate rapacity. In his seat at Trenton, he will be the central
figure in the politics Of the State, and hypocrisy and huinbug will
be withered, and jobbery and extravaganza will be crushed and
trampled under loot, through his leadership
He IS above all the man whom the Republicans fear. They
would gladly allow Crane, DAILY and the eleven Hudson Assembly
men to be elected rather than that this terrible champion Of the
people should reach the coign Of vantage to which he aspres Tor
the sole purpose Of combating them This IS the reason why a
campaign OF such extraordinary viruence is being made against
him..
Mr.. McDermotts election is a certainty; but the larger
his majority, the greater will be the moral force behind him at
Trenton. Every Democrat, every sensible man, who wishes to see
the finances of New Jersey rescued from thieves and spend
thrifts. the grabbing of corporations checked, and home rule
and popular government prevail, should vote for him on Noven-
Der 8.
