GREAT HARMONY DEAL.
League Tells How Ef Works and HOW
The Mfnks Will Cut Petty.

Each day finds more and more satis-

Seventh ward. There have been many
charges made against the Minkakwa Re
publican Club of Greenville during the
past week, all of which are well founded.
if the statements of the dissatisfied ones
are to be believed. Another Lacquer,
when speaking about the political situa-
tion in the Seventh ward, yesterday af-
ternoon said that there was no more har-
mony between the two clubs now than
before the agreement was passed ''Ihe
members of the Minkakwa Club he said,
..are very sorry that the harmony deal
was ever entered into, for the reason that
they see the Leaguers are benefitting BY
it, while the Minks are getting the worst
end of the deal. OF course, the Minks are
not foolish enough to work openly against
Henry Petty (the other candidate for JUS
tiee of the. Peace, but one thing thstN
There is lots of harmony on the facet of
the matter. but the Minks are forcsd to
appear that way. Henry Petty Will be
cut by the Minks. and will suffer at Feast
$50 votes. The Minkakwa people are very
much opposed to the Leaguers getting
anything in the way of offices, but, as
was said before, they will not dare to
work openly against the candidates..
When questioned as to what would be
the termination of the harmony deal, 4
the Minks were caught doing any crooked

tion of the League Club. One thing is GER

spring but are laying lines for the fall
campaign The F,reeholder nomination is
what they want, but unless more actiy-
ity is displayed in that club they wilt
never land it,
The Lacquer then went on to say that
the League Club was advancing each day
and did not care whether the Minks
worked for the party or not. I'VE can
do without them, which l suppose we
will have to do,'' he said, .'but wait un-

That is a subject upon which do not

Roundabout Way of Getting the
water Account Into the Budget.

AT the suggestion of the Street and
Water Commissioners, Water Puryeyor
Robert Coar is keeping tabs on the
quantity of water used in several Of the
public buildings.
A report filed with President Boltwood
by the Purveyor today, shows that dur
ing March there was used in Public
School No. 3 on an average of 10000 gall
Ions day. That consumption represents
s15375.
Public School No. u, for the same
month, consumed 10000 cubic feet, or an
average of 81, 900 gallons a day. The cost
of the water was $l62. so.
The water in City Hall for March shows
a. consumption of 1880 gallons a day or
an expense to the water department of
$91.2
These three public buildings alone cost
the water department on an average of
$400 month
The Commissioners are having data
prepared by which they hope to secure
legislation which will make it necessary
for every branch of the city government
to pay the water department for what
ever quantity it uses.
The water account is now $3.50 600 in a
hole and where the money is to come
from to meet the outstanding obligations
no one knows.
At the present rate of proceedings the
water revenue of next year will be mort
gagged to its full limit before May l, There
is still some talk of the Finance Board
trying to find a way to give the water
department lift financially.

S|GSBEE SPEAKS,

WASHINGTON. April 8, 1SsS.-Captain
Sigsbee, in the course of his examina-
tion before the House Committee on For
eign Affairs. stated it to be his opinion
that his vessel, the Maine, was blown up
by a submarine mine located by the
Spanish authorities. AS to whether 1t
was fired by the Spanish authorities or
not he declined to express an opinion. He
told the committee what he had testified
to before the Board of Inquiry about
the buoy to which the Maine was an
chored being the most unfrequented buoy
in the harbor.
The position in which the ship was
placed. he said, was such that he could
have fired upon both forts at the same
time.
The committee is to meet again to-
night to prepare the text of the resolu-
tions to be submitted to the House.

Extraordinary storm for This Season
Rages All Day.

The residents of Jersey City could not
have been more surprised this morning
when they looked out and saw the snow
if they had seen the streets filled
with Spaniards. Notwithstanding the
prediction of the Weather Bureau that
snow storm was coming, very few went
to bed with the idea that when they
awoke the earth would be wrapped in, the
white mantle of winter. Although very
disagreeable storm, especially at this time
of the year. when everyone expected green
fields and sweet blossoms, very little IN
convenience was experienced
The trolley cars made their usual time
and no trouble was encountered in getting
across the ferry. All local trains were
on time and the Western and Southern
trains were from twenty to thirty minutes
late The snow began about four o'clock
and up to noon an inch had fallen.
The storm started in the Arkansas VAL
ley on Monday morning. 1t has moved
eastward and is now central on the coast
of the arolinas, attended by very high
winds along the Middle and South At
lantic coasts. These high winds have also
been reported as far inland as the lower
Mississippi Valley and the lake regions.
In the Southern States the storm is ac-
companied by heavy rainfall.
The high wind gave the storm the char
acteristics of a blizzard. 1t will snow all
day. but will clear during the night.

ROW In COURT
Fitzpatrick Obtains an Order to
Show Cause Why He Should
Not Be on the Ticket.

Senator William D. Daily of Hoboken, as
counsel for John NJ Fitzpatrick, who was
refused the Democratic nomination for
Councilman in the Third ward by the
Democratic City Committee, owing to al
legged fraud at the primaries, applied to
Justice Lippincott yesterday for rule
to show cause why Fitzpatrick's name
should not be placed on the Democratic
ticket in place of Anthony Capelli, who
received the Democratic nomination.
Senator Daily said that Fitzpatrick had
received sixty majority over Capelli at
the primaries, but the City Committee
ignored the will of the people and fraud
ulently and without warrant or author-
ity filed certificate of nomination with
City Clerk McDermott, making Capelll the
nominee for Councilman. As Fitzpatrick s
rights were threatened with invasion by
the action of the Democratic City Conn
mittee the Senator said that Capelli and
City Clerk McDermott should be ordered
to show cause why Fitzpatrick's name
should not be placed upon the regular
Democratic ticket in place of Capellrs.
Senator DAILY handed Justice Ltppincott
a petition signed by Fitzpatrick, stating
the grounds upon which an order was
asked for as above mentioned. Justice
Lippincott read it carefully and then
signed rule requiring Capelli and Nc
Dermott to show cause tomorrow morn
ing why Fitzpatrick's name should not
be placed on the ticket.
Copies of Justice Lippineott's order were
served upon Capelli and McDermott last
night. Mr.. McDermott referred the or
der to Corporation Attorney James F..
Minturn, who will appear for him in court
tomorrow. Mr.. Capelli says that he will
engage counsel today and answer the
rule. He claims that illegal ballots were
placed in the primary box in the Second
precinct when the lights went out and
that James Kelly, of Jersey City, judge
of the primary, was threatened with re-
volvers and clubs by the police unless he
signed the returns

Robert Bell, a saloonkeeper, at No. Is
Willow avenue. Hoboken, quarreled with
his wife yesterday, during which his step
son. Thomas Cody, interfered and pre-
vented him from stabbing his mother. As
a result Bell and young Cody became in
volved in fight during which they threw

severely cut about the head. Cody went
to Police Headquarters and caused a war
rant to be issued for his stepfather's ar
rest, charging him with assault.
When Bell was arraigned before Re-
corder McDonough his head was ban
daged and he looked as if he had been
drawn through a thrashing machine. He
told the Recorder that he acted in self
defense.
Cody, who is eighteen years old, said
his stepfather brutally assaulted his
mother and because he interfered Bell re-
taliated by assaulting him. His head
was also banGaged. The Recorder said
that he was a dutiful son when he pro-
tected his mother and placed Bell under
bail to await the action of the Grand
jury.
