PEDESTAL READY.
Statue to Be In Position
Tomorrow Explaining
Hieroglyphics.

| There was an interesting ceremony this
| morning in front of the City Hall which
attracted a small crowd. The workmen
had nearly completed the pedestal for
| the statue of the soldiers and sailors to
| be unveiled on Tuesday next. Only the
| cap remained to be placed in position.
| In the stone beneath it was a cavity and
| IN that DR. L. J. Gordon and General John
Ramsay, assisted by Poormaster John
Hewitt, of the committee. placed copper
| box.
| In the box were the rosters of Van
| Houten Post No. 8; Wilson, No. 19; G..
H Thomas, No. 29; Ellsworth, No. IA; Za-
briskie, No. 3S; Christian Koerner, No. 81;
General Sherman No. 100, and Mansfield,
No. 81; a photograph of General Ramsay,
M. " Kenelly and F. Bluem, of the COM
mittee; a Grand Army badge and a service
| badge, Jersey City directory for 1897,
dollar, half dollar, quarter, nickel and
dime; name of the subscribers to the
fund records of the Board of Education,
cards of Mayor Hoos, Collector r. Davis,
| Deputy T. J. Miggins City Comptroller
R. Jordan, in red ink, as custom demands; !;
City Clerk NJ J. O'Donnell. Finance Com
mssioners, Street and Water Board Com
missioners and other city officials; Har-
rison's directory and map of Jersey City,
1.-THE Jersey City News and other papers
and almanacs.
ssAny gentleman want to put in his
card9 shouted DR.. L. ]. Gordon, while the
plumber was heating his iron to solder
the bid. Several people rushed forward
and immortalized themselves by putting
cards into the box. Sometime in 5001 when
the world comes to an end and the
then Board of Trade hold dinner among
the ruins to celebrate the event they will
stumble across that box and learn what
place this was in 1899. Such a. city.
The box enclosed, the huge cap stone
was lowered on its bed of cement, pound
ed with heavy piece of timber and the
pedestal was completed. Tomorrow the
statue will be raised to it's place. At
present the lady is enduring the in
dignity of being shut up in a box in the
P R. R. freight yards, sneezing her head
off with the clouds of snuff which blow
from DR.. Gordon's laboratory in the
tobacco factory.
'Why in - didn't the committee write
Eng1isn?'' said one veteran, carefully in
specting the pedestal and pointing to the
inscription on the north and south sides,
'In Memoriam.
That's all right" said another, who
knew something, that's dead language,
and they use it on tombstones on ceme-
terry, See?"
May be all right persisted the vet
eran, who was bent on finding fault, ''but
will you tell me what that means
M-D-C-C-C-L-X-V !? That's an outrage.
A bystander hazarded the explanation
that IN. d. was a delicate allusion to
DR.. Gordon, and sc. c. c." meant See?
See? See?" The L. stood for Leon.
ard" and TX. W. meant the tens and
fives roped in for the statue; This was
SO plausible that it was promptly accepted
and the bystander was complimented on
his skill as reader of hieroglyphics.

FLYNN GETS $4,000 DAMAGES.
Hurt While Standing On the Rum
board of an Open Car.

Joseph B. Flynn obtained verdict of
81 900 in suit against the Consolidated
Traction Company, which was tried in the
Supreme Court yesterday before Justice
Lippincott and jury. Flynn was a pas
senger on one of the company's open
cars on August z, 1897, and wanted to get
off at Fairmount avenue. He signalled
to the conductor. who rung the bell.
Flynn stepped on the runboard, but the
car, he claimed, did not stop and he did
not care to jump. The car continued on
and overlook a truck loaded with furni-
ture. A projecting piece Of furniture
struck Flynn and injured him severely.
The defence was contributory negli-
genee. The conductor testified that the
car did not stop and the plaintiff had
ample time to get off, in fact the con-
ductor thought he was off. Former Judge
Thomas F. Noonan appeared for the
plaintiff and former Judge A. Q. Garrett
son for the defendant.

TEEE

that the present leaders or bosses will not
allow the rank and file of the party TO
nominate men who can be elected.
Mr. Christie also criticized Colonei
Toffey's remark that the party wanted
no factions, such as the McEwanltes. ne
said he told Colonel Toffey all the Nc
Ewanites wanted was fair snow ana
that they would not be dictated to by the
present machine men; that If the Coiohel
thought the party should not have NC
Ewanftes,. neither did the latter beheVe
there should be any Wanserites Inc
Wanser Club. he asserted, would never
be willing to drop the name of its stand
ard bearer; neither would the McEwan-
ties drop the name of their standaro
bearer, although it had been asked TO do
so by the standard bearer himself.
1--WE are proud of the name" declared
Mr.. Christie, "and will hold it. But were
Republicans just the same. I'm mem
ber of the County Committee. There are
lots of us who are members of that COM
mittee, and it's wonder to me that we
have not all been expelled considering
the splendid majority the machine men
secured in the last municipal election.
"You notice that Woolley is cared for
for at least four years more. Woolley
should admit that he was at fault and
resign from the County Committee. If l
were in his place would do So and there
wouldn't be any monkeying with the cards
either
The chairman alluded to efforts of the
machine men in West fHoboken to re-
store harmony as ridiculous. He said the
Republicans up there wanted none of the
leaders.
Alluding again to Colonel Toffey Mr.
Christie said-"I told the Colonel that
Woolley sat down on him because he
wouldn't do his bidding and that now the
Colonel couldn't be elected even dele
gate to convention.
..They ask you for harmony. Re-
organization and harmony! McGee says
we have no bosses. I don't know what he
calls them.'
The chairman again alluded to the
Mouncey episode and declared that the
vote to censure him had cost the party
$500 votes. MCGEE don't understand what
the Tribune" means. I do. The ''Tri-
bune" means that Dickinson and Woolley
are failures in making nominations and
getting out votes They don't believe in
the fundamental principles of the Re
publican party that the majority shall
rule

FATHER SHEPPARD REBUKED.
Justice Nevin Says He Has No Right
to oDrive Woman Out of His Parish.

Police Justice Nevin was called upon in
the First Criminal Court this morning to
decide as to the rightful custody Of a
sixteen year old girl named Katie
Sweeney. The girl had until recently re-
sided with her uncle, Thomas Mccarthy.
and his mother Mary Mccarthy, at No.
$50 Eleventh street. Her parents have
been dead for ten years. A few days ago
Mrs. Williamson cousin to the Nc
Carthy took the child despite the re-
monstrances of Thomas and his mother.
The girl has since been living at Mrs.
Williamson's home at Seventh and Mon
mouth streets. The MeCarthys appealed
to Police Justice Nevin to regain poses
sion Of the girl
Mrs. Williamson was forced to appear
this morning and answer to a charge of
having Wrongfully taken Katie. She de-
clared to Police Justice 'Nevin that before
taking the girl she had appealed to the
Rev. Father Sheppard of ST. Michaeps
Church, l, and that hat. he told her that unless
the girl went with her he would drive her
out of the parish. Mrs. Williamson al
legged that the girl was not brought up
in a proper manner by the McCarthys.
She alleged that they gave her intoxi-
eating liquors and made her drunk.
Police Justice Neyin was highly indig-
nant over Mrs. Williamson's statement
said: Neither FatheNr Sheppard or any
body else has the right or power to drive
anybody out of the parish. AS to the
custody Of the girl, that is question for
the Court to decide and Father Sheppard
has nothing to do with It.

PACIFIC AVENUE BRIDGE
Engineers Tells Freeholders

Delay.

The Board of F'reeholders, yesterday,
received a report from r. w. Hunt &
Co., engineers, to the effect that the legal
requirements for the construction of the
Pacific avenue bridge over the canal were
entirely adequate. The iron and steel re-
