WANTS new LEADERS.
Seventh Ward Club Says Moth
ing Can Be Done
Else.

The Seventh Ward Republican Club
held well attended meeting last night
at the clubhouse on Bayview avenue.
Three new members were elected. The
Building Committee reported that plans
are being drawn for the proposed new
clubhouse. 1t is expected that the build
ing will be erected in the fall. 1t was
reported that communication had been
received from the Republican Reorgan-
ization Committee requesting the advice
of the members in. re-establishing the
Republican party on a sound footing.
One of the members sent a reply TO
Aaron Baldwin, chairman of the COM
mittee, to the effect that the Seventh
Ward would never be able to get into
the Republican column until the present
leaders were deposed and new ones
chosen.
The members of the club claim that ex-
Alderman Fry led the party to defeat
through his lack of knowledge of poll
tics at the recent election In speaking
of the situation, member said last
evening that the Republican party in the
ward had been grossly mismanaged. He
said that while exAlderman Fry was
"good fellow his lack of knowledge of
politics was omethng to be deplored. He
also said that the party should unite
upon a man, make him leader and obey
his commands. This, according to the
member is the only hope for salvation
for the Republican party in the ward.
The club feels considerably aggrieved
because the Rev. Charles Allen of the
Greenvflle Reformed Church. and the
Rev. John E. Heindel of the English
Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, did
not extend invitations to the recent pa
triotic services held at both churches.
The other Republican clubs in the ward
were invited and the failure to recognize
the Seventh Ward Republican Club IS
deeply resented by the mcE1bers.
In short speech upon the subject, Mr..
William ]. Burns said that he thought it
highly improper for Christian ministers
TO invite several clubs of political faith
and ostracize one of the same faith be-
cause of its unpopularity. with the ma
jority of Republican clubs in the ward.
The Seventh Ward Republican Associa-
tion refuses to recognize the club. but it
was said last night that Edward Birch
would make a strong fight for the office
of County Committeeman against William
Reed of the U. S. Grant Association.
The feeling between the two organiza-
tions is extremely bitter and a hot time is

Hartnett's Report GivesNoon
as the Hottest
Point.
NUMEROUS HEAT VICTIMS
Two Factories Gave EN-
ployes a Holiday Schools
All Closed.

Another day of torture, replete with
sunstrokes, prostrations, and deaths goes
down on record Their appears to be no
let up in the teriice heat. The sun pours
down numerically upon the sweltering
thousand of weary pedertrians. Not only
does the heat come from above. but from
the red hot walks and streets and makes
life any thing but comfort for the COM
munfty.
The busy pedestrian does not appear to
care whether school keep or not this
weather, and goes along in lip shod,
now and then seeking the shade of
neighborly building. The lowere section
of the city is imply like furnace.
Not only do human beings suffer, but
horses all seem in tagged out condition,
laboriously attempting to draw heavy
wagons and trucks. The official record
from New York says
The thermometer was almost as high
today yesterday, but the heat was
tempered by a brisk northwest wind. At
10 A. M. the weather bureau said the
temperature was S6 degrees as against
81 yesterday at the same hour yesterday.
The velocity of the wind at that time was
u miles an hour.
According to Hartnett's thermometer re-
port, SO degrees was the temperature at
noon. At midnight it was SO degrees, and
still some ask, rs it warm enough for
you?" and did you sleep well last even
ing?''
THE next man that asks me if it's
warm, I'll KILL vehemently exclaimed a
stout man this morning, as he gulped
down a schooner of lemonade
All the public schools closed at noon
time, including the parochial schools and
Hasbrouck Institute
Hamilton Park was last night crowded
with men, women and children, seeking
a cool breathing spot. Every settee or
rather bench was occupied and men and
women almost scrambled for seats vaeat-
ed by those who had occupied them for
hours Women, with babes in their arms,
were obliged to stand or walk up and
down the paths. There is plenty of room
for many more benches along the paths.
The pretty fountain was as dry as a
chip People wondered why
The residents of the Greenville section
of the city suffered greatly from the heat
yesterday. A number of the Chadwick
Thread Mill employees were forced to quit
work on its account.
On account of the terrific heat OF yester-
day afternoon, the employees of the Boyn-
ton Furnace Co., of Lafayette, stopped
work at noon time. The thermometer i'll
the foundry at that time was above the
one hundred mark. When the moulding
is going on and the hot iron flowing from
the cupola the heat is simply intense,
rising to one hundred and twenty de-
grees.
The Boulevard was all but deserted last
evening and yesterday afternoon because
of the violent heat. Cyclists wisely re-
Trained from indulging in that violent eX-
ercfse. Few horses and carriages were
seen.

ment No. q Randolph avenue, could not

when election Is on he should vote, and
vote with his party; to bolt the ticket is a
injury to the candidates and the party;
he cannot inflict punishment on his ad-
versary at the primary in such way.
Let him brush up, look pleasant, win
more friends for the next bout, and go
in for all he is worth.
There is a constitutional remedy for

prominent or obscure; if there are any
guilty of it let charges be preferred and
have justice done, not vengeance; no
pandering to public clamor, no creation OF
martyrs to satisfy a mistaken though
vociferous horde of would-be leaders,
whose policy is rule OF ruin.
"At the time of our last reorganization
in 1891, which was voluntary on the part
of the committee, we had not IS in money
or property, and no credit; could not put
an advertisement in any newspaper in
Jersey city without paying for it in ad-
vance. We had no headquarters, no
facilities, no prospects, and very few ac-
tive members. At present we have all
these, $50 members, and a very comfort
able cash balance in bank, without any
floating debt; the premises we occupy
belong to U.S. and are worth $1,000.
IF Republicans will disabuse their minds
of the idea that there is serious trouble
in the ranks, and be solicitous only for
the best way to help things along the
trouble will soon melt away. Local diff
ferences are best disposed of by the par
ties directly interested outside inter-
ference would be likely to increase rather
than remove the disturbance
"Only an infraction of party policy or
constitutional right would seem to justify
official interference.
Very respectfully,

THEY DO DIFFERENT IN PlTTSBURe
So Said John Clark OF the Smoky

Jersey justice is somewhat different
from that in Pittsburg," said John Clark,
aged thirty-four years, who halls from
that place, as he was sentenced to pay a
fine of $40 this morning by Acting Police
Justice Macs in the First Criminal Court.
Clark and a man named Thomas Burns,
of Poughkeepsie, whom he met in saloon
at the corner of Coles and Seventh streets
about seven o'clock this morning, became
involved in an argument and came to
blows Clark had the best of the fight.
Burns went to the Second precinct police
station and made a complaint against
Clark Policeman King was sent out to
arrest the man.
Both men were under the influence of
liquor; they were locked up. When ar
raigned in court Clark said 'the authors
ties in Pittsburg gave drunk time to
sober up before he was arraigned for
trial. Not having the money to pay
his fine Clark was sent to Jail for six
months. Burns case was postponed un-
til tomorrow.

DUST ON BALDWIN AVENUE
The Hot Dry Matter Has Made It
Intolerab1e.

The dust on the Baldwin avenue exten-
sion is an almost insufferable nuisance.
During the present dry spell the I'M
paved roadway has been ground to pow
der as fine as flour. A great many
trucks use the thoroughfare.
In these dry days one first recognizes
that a truck is coming in his direction
by a thick cloud of dust in which the
truck is enveloped and almost hidden
from view. A half dozen of these trucks
in procession raise cloud of dust that
almost entirely obscures vision its di-
rection.
The thoroughfare since the sidewalks
have been tagged is much used by pedes,
trians and school children in making a
short cut through from the lower section
of Newark avenue above the Hill to Ho-
boken avenue and other thoroughfares
intersecting the extension further north
With faces. necks and wrists perspiring
and linen hanging limp with perspiration
the pedestrians emerging from one Of
the clouds of dust could almost imagine
they were being treated to mud BATH
