NOT A SIGN OF a SCRAP.

The Democratic County Committee met
last night in Fischer's Hall, at Newark
avenue and Erie streets. The impression
got abroad somehow that the meeting
would be a lively one, and that Leader
Davis would put on the gloves with GER
tain members
Nothing of the kind occurred. Har-
mony prevailed.
The proposed amendment of the consti-
tuition was made without dissent. The
change involved the substitution of the
words. ward and wards where "dis-
trict" occurred.
Reports were received from various
parts of the county, showing the commit
tee to be we'll organized and in excellent
shape for red hot campaign. A few
members who have failed TO pay their
dues were given one more warning that
they must pay up or get out

HE MAY LIVE A YEAR LONGER

For the past week or two there have
been so many conflicting reports gong
around as to the condition of Prosecutor
Charles H. Winfield and the mature of
the disease from which he was suffering
that Dr. Dickinson. who has been attend
ing Mr.. Winfield during his illness, with
the consent of Mr. Winfield's family, had
the following to say when interviewed
this morning.
...Mr. Winfield is suffering from what IS
Il own as arterio-capillary fibrosis.
shis. in other words, is hardening of
the arteries and other tissues of the
body. extending to such organs as the
brain. heart and kidneys. Mr.. Winfield
has been suffering from this malady for
the past six or seven years. 1t has now
extended into the brain and heart, and
causes the most painful symptoms, par
ticularlv at night, when the patient suf-
fers from asthma. In conjunction with
this. it causes restlessness and insomnia.
The deprivation of the brain OF its prop
er blood supply has brought on, since
the middle of January, a form of de-
mentia. This mental condition, which
was mild and intermittent at first, mas
now become quite pronounced and almost
constant Intervals of clear mind, how
ever. come occasionally even yet. His
physical condition has improved but his
mental condition is very poor. He is
bright at times and at other times ne
acts almost crafty and nothing can be
done with him.
DR.. Dickinson further said that Mr..
Winfeld's condition was not very serious
just at present and that he might live
for year in his present state. Then,
again, he might pass off in month.

PROGRESS ON SCHOOL NO. l.

Considerable delay has been caused in
the work of building No. ] School by the
recent snowstorm. Almost the entire
week was lost The setting of the granite
blocks on the front of the building was
started again this morning. It is ex-
pected that it will be finished by the end
of next week, as only about two feet more
have to be set.
Mr. Hugh Roberts, the architect, said
today that just as soon as the granite
work was finished, the work would pro-
gress very rapidly. The remainder of the
front of the building will be finished in
yellow brick, which costs about S37
thousand The mason work on the rear
of the building has gone SO far is ad-
vance of that in the front that Mr.. Rob
erts deemed it advisable to stop it until
the work on the front had become more
advanced

TRIAL WILL 60 ON.

There is scarcely any doubt now but
that the Noonan-Simpson trial for con-
spiracy will be begun on Monday. 1t is
barely possible that Judge Hudspeth, who
is suffering from a severe attack of neu-
ralgia. may not be able to be present, and
in that case the trial would have TO go
over, as the Oyer and Terminer Court, in
which the case is to be held, cannot be
convened without the presence q Justice
Lippincott and Judge Hudspeth. The der
PENDANTS are ready and anxious for their
trial, and if anything should occur to
postpone it it will be a great disappoint-
ment to them.

JUDGE KENNY DEAD.
A Well Known CfiiZen Passes Away
After Brief llIness.

After Brief Allness.
Former Judge John Kenny died at his
home, No. 209 Erie street, this morning.
He was stricken with heart failure about
Christmas. but his fine constitution en-
abled him to rally from the attack and a
few days he was around again. But soon
he was seized again and repeated attacks
finally drove him to his bed about two
weeks ago. He fingered along, growing
steadily worse, until he died.
John Kenny was born in Ireland, May
9. 1881. and came to this country in 1865.
He settled in Jersey City and obtained
employment in the New York offlce OF
Barbour Brothers. thread manufacturers,
of Paterson. He remained with TINS hrm
several years, and then went into the
office of George A. Clark & Brothers,
thread manufacturers, at Kearny, where
he remained until he was appointed Judge,
fifteen years in all.
Mr.. Kenny always took an active part
in the political affairs of the city, county
and State, and soon came to be an IN
fiuence in local politics. In 1889 Mayor
Cleveland appointed him member OF the
Board of Finance, and he was a member
of that body for three years. He was
known during that time for his safe con-
servative views, and his presence in the
Board was of much benefit to the city.
Mr.. Kenny continued member of the
Board until April, 1892, when Governor Ap-
bett made him a lay judge of the Court
of Common Pleas of Hudson county. This
position he occupied until two years ago,
when he was legislated out of office Last
spring he was made Wafer Assessor of
Jersey City by the Street and Water
Board, position he held at the time of
his death.
Judge Kenny has always been
abstainer and was a prominent member
of ST. Michaers Temperance Society. He
was a charter mebr and director of st.
Michaers Club and member OF the
Catholic Benevolent Legion and the Nc
Laughlin Association. Mr.. Kenny was
well and popularity known throughout the
city and his death will be mourned by
host of friends.

NAVAL RESERVE WILL MOVE.
Everything Ready to Bring the Ports
mouth to Hudson Square Park.

mouth TO HI u0SOn SquATe AIM
The members of the Battalion of the
East Naval Reserves of N. J., have COM
pleted arrangements to dredge birth for
their training ship, Portsmouth, off Hud-
son Square Park, Hoboken. The Ports
mouth is now moored at the Tenth street
Common Council at a recent meeting to
place the ship in the proposed position
but it was found that the boat house OF
the Active Boat Club was In the way
and would have to be removed
The club house is built on a scow. The
members of the boat club secured permls-
sion from the Council to move their house
sixty feet nearer shore and place it on
piles. 1t was expected that the contrac-
tor would begin the work yesterday but
he sent telegram to Capt. O'Brien of the
club, stating that the dredge which he IN
tended to do the work with was blockaded
by ice in the Passaic river and that he
could not begin the work until the dredge
is released.
The Naval Reserves will now have to
wait for warmer weather before they can
remove the Portsmouth.

TABS ON THE EAST JERSEY 90.
City Oficials watching tbe Quantity
of Wafer supplied.

The news reached City Hall this morn
ing that the East Jersey Water Company
is not fulfilling its contract with Newark
The failure of the company consists IN
giving that city at least million gallons
less of water than required by contract
which is 27, 100000 daily.
The information caused alarm and set
the officials to wondering whether the
company would be able to give this city
an adequate supply. The Street ana wa
ter Commissioners discussed the situation
behind closed doors.
During the cold snap Newarks con-
sumption ran from 80 and 80 million gal
Ions daily The East Jersey Water Com
pany is only required to furnish 2l,5oO,Ooo
Some days that quantity was delivered,
others less. 1t was finally found neces-
scary to start the old Belleville pumps
and mix Passaic with the Pequannock. 1t
was only that process which enabled the
city to have the required supply.
Engineer Sherrerd of Newark informed
Clemens Herschl, the company's engi-
neer of the falling off of the water sup
ply. and that gentleman, it is asserted,
said the city was getting all the water II
could have. Mr. Sherrerd finally put the
screws on ana QecldTeu llidt uliieS7 sAiN
company fulfilled its agreement action
would be instituted against the company.
The East Jersey Company retains possess
sion of the Newark plant until 1900, when
if passes to Newark In the meantime
that city is only entitled to $1,000 gallons
daily.
When a greater supply is demanded, and
is given the supply of Pequannock for
this city is naturally reduced and the sup
ply of Passaic increased.
Supervising Engineer Hooker and water
Purveyor Coar have been instructed 10
keep tabs on the meters at Belleville and
see that the company gives the city falr
supply. AS soon as there is falling on
the pumps at the Belleville station are to
be started. The water is low in the High
Service reservoirs, but that is due. 1t IS
said to ice choking the mains. A close
watch is being kept on all the meadow
pipes to prevent breaks and to keep the
mains from freezing.
