WILL OPPOSE THE GRANTS.
New Club to be Started Tuesday
Night--To Down Fry.

1t developed yesterday that the proposed
club in opposition to the Grant Associa-
tion will come to life Tuesday evening. 1t
will be called the Grant Club, and will be
organized, so it is understood, simply to
beat the Republican party. This informa-
tion is believed to be authentic.
The regular Republicans are worried
because of these rumors and steps are
being taken to prevent the new club from
proving detrimental to the party. 1t is
said that the work of the new club viii
be directed against Alderman Edward
Fry. This is to be done, it is said, be-
cause Fry opposed resolution presented
at meeting of the ward association. that
the organization of a new club be
sanctioned.
Mr. Edward T. Birch, who was rejected
at a meeting of the Grant Association
when proposed for membership by Mar
shall Burns, was the one who upheld the
new club movement. A resolution was
passed at the same meeting denouncing
the movement to organize a new club for
the reason that it would prove detrimental
to the interests of the Republican party.
Developments are anxiously awaited. A
warm time is anticipated in that ward If
Burns and his followers start in to dis
rupt the party.

APPEAL FOR BROWN.
United States Court Will
Decide Struck Jury
Act.

The decision of the Court of Errors and
Appeals in the case of James K. Brown,
the murderer Of Policeman Gebhardt of
Hoboken, affirming the constitusionality
of the struck jury law, will be taken to
the United States Supreme Court on APP
peal. Congressman William D. DAILY and
Lawyer Joseph M. Noonan, Brown $
counsel. contend that the struck jury law
violates the provisions of the United
States Constitution, which guarantee
equal protection to all citizens.
Under the struck jury law citizens Of
New Jersey who may be put on trial for
murder are not equally protected II the
Prosecutor of the Pleas elects TO have the
defendant tried by struck jury the
defendant under the law is entitled to
only. FIVE challenges, but if he is tried by
a Jury drawn from the ordinary panel he
is entitled to twenty challenges. Under
these conditions it is in the power of the
Prosecutor to deprive a defendant of the
right guaranteed to him by the constitu-
ton of the United States. When the re--
nittitur arrives from the Court of Errors
and Brown has been resentenced counsel
will apply to Justice Of the United
States Supreme Court for a writ of
error.
The same contention applies to the case
of Edward Clifford, who Is under convic-
ton for the murder of Superintendent
William G. Watson, but the difficulty in
his case is that the question Of the con-
stitutionality of the struck jury law was
mot raised in the State Courts and for
that reason the United States Court may
refuse to entertain it.

SEVENTH REPUBS AT SEA
Can't Find Victim to Run Against
William Ritter.

The Republicans of the Seventh ward
are all at sea. They realize that their
efforts this spring will avail them naught.
Several Republicans have been ap-
preached and asked to accept the Alder
manic candidacy, and they have grace
fully declined with the excuse that they
did not care to enter the political arena
and be badly beaten.
Just who will run against William III.
Ritter, the Democratic Aldermanic can
didate, is not known. 1t is thought that
a repetition of the trouble experienced a
year ago will take place. Then the Re-
publican ward convention had to send
scouting parties all over the ward to
hunt candidate, and finally, after much
persuasion, Mr.. William Boos accepted
the nomination. The result is well known.
Mr. Peter Ehrhart, the Democratic candi-
date won easily. The Republicans fear
the same result this spring.
On the other hand the Democrats are
sanguine of success. Mr.. Ritter was for
merly member of the Board of Educa-
tion and is the unanimous choice of the
Democrats throughout the ward. He is
well known and is popular.

KELLEHER TO SUCCEED FINK.
Mark CurIey May be Appointed As.
sistant Clerk OF Finance Board.

Mr.. Martin Finck, who. it has bee dadn-
itely decided, is to succeed Joseph Farmer
as Deputy internal Revenue Collector will
tender his resignation as Clerk of the FL
nance Board next Thursday morning. Mr..
Finck has all his bonds ready preparatory
to entering upon his new duties.
Ex-Street and Water Commissioners
John Kaiser, who is to get p. H. O'NeilPs S
place is happy. He has all his inlple-
ments in readiness to enter upon his drl-
ties.
The retirement of Mr.. Finck insures the
election of Michael Kelleher, now assist
ant clerk, as clerk. The probabilities are
that Mark Curley viii be appointed as
sistant clerk of the Finance Board.
Mr. Finck has had a talk with Mr.
Kelleher and has promised to lend him
whatever assistance is possible. Mr.. Finck
has always been regarded as one of the
neatest, best and efficient clerks in the
Hall. Mayor Hoos dislikes seeing him
retire.
Mr. Kelleher is an apt man and will
doubtless make worthy successor to Mr.
Finck Mr.. Kelleher's friends are con-
graduating him upon his prospective ad-
yancement

! TO GREET THE FOURTH
Chairman Cole Says Arrange
ments Are Being Made
at Both Ends.

The news that Colonel Gilmore of the
Fourth New Jersey Volunteer Regiment.
now at Greenvile. S. c., is anxious to
muster the regiment INTO the regular
army service. has started the military
men in this cityland elsewhere through-
out the State discussing the chances OF
the ColonePs success. From what can bs
learned, the Colonel hopes to have the
men re-enlisted About five hundred have
agreed to enlist, iti said.
One in position to know the senti-
ments of the soldier boys, said this morn-
ing:-
Il believe that few of the boys care to
re-enlist. A soldiers life is by no means
an easy one and from what 1 have learned
from the camp almost every one is more
than anxious to get home again. They
have been in camp since April last and
have had enough of the experience.
doubt seriously if Colonel Gilmore will
succeed in forming regiment from those
who re-enlist."
Chairman Frank o. Cole, of the com-
mittee that is preparing for the home-
coming of the soldiers, said this morning
that a committee had been appointed at
the camp to arrange for the home coming.
"I believe it is the intention of the
Hudson county companies to come on the
first section of the train, which has been
engaged . he said. There are about five
hundred men in the six Hudson compan-
les. but just how soon the train is to leave
that is to bear the soldier boys to their
homes is not known as yet.
81 have received no reply to the conamu-
nication 1 sent to Colonel Gilmore last
week, but hope to hear of his arrange
| ments by Thursday. 1 have heard that
Captain Christie will be in command of
the Hudson section, but whether this is
positive or not, I cannot tell.
"The men will probably march from the
station to the City Hall, where they will
be reviewed. From there they will go
to their homes. The banquet if there is
to be one, will probably be held few
| days later
| 1t has also been rumored that when
| Chairman Coles letter was received at
camp, a committee consisting of six com
| missioned officers, six non-commissioned
| officers and six privates. was appointed
| to prepare for the journey home.
| When a meeting was held it is said that
| several members declared that there
would be no march from the station to
| the City Hall, if the National Guard act
| ed as an escort This information is said
| to be authentic. The veterans will doubt
! less act as an escort.
| Colonel Robert G. Smith said a few days
ago that he understood Colonel Gilmore
was to organize regiment, but that the
| members from this county would un-
| doubtedly come home.
| Colonel Smith will go to Greenville to-
morrow to inspect the Fourth New Jersey
| Volunteer Infantry for the last time be-
| fore it disbands.

RED DUGAN ON TRIAL AGAIN.
Noonan's Objections We're Overru1ed
bv Blair and Case Went Over.

Thomas alias RED" Dugas, is on trial
again today in the General Sessions Court
for shooting at Mrs. Salome Petersen,
while committing a burglary in her house,
No. PAT Third street, on Sunday evening,
January 15 The bullet penetrated the
panel of the door, near Mrs. Petersen's s
head.
The story has already been told several
times. Mrs Petersen is the wife of the
Rev. J. C. j. Petersen, pastor of the Ger
man Lutheran Church, on Wayne street
Her husband was at church conducting
the Sunday evening services and Mrs.
Petersen was alone in the house. She
was in the study when she heard noise
in the adjoining room and looking in saw
a man al the bureau. The man fired a
shot at her and ran out of the house.
He was after ward caught in an area
way on First street, by Policeman Wolf
and Morasch and Mrs. Petersen's
pocket book and some money stolen from
the bureau were found in his possession.
The Grand Jury found three indictments
against him, one for breaking entering
and larceny, another for assault with in
tent to kill and the third for having burg
| lars tools in his possession. On the trial
| of the first indictment he was convicted
| of petty larceny and sentenced to the
| maximum penalty, three years in State
Prison and 81 600.
On mis- trial for assault with intent to
kill the jury disagreed for some reason
as yet not exposed, and he. is being tried
again today.
| 1t was nearly noon when Assistant
Prosecutor Van Winkle opened the case
| for the State. Joseph M. Noonan, the
defendants lawyer, had taken up the
greater part of the morning in making
an elaborate argument to procure the re-
lease of his client without trial. Mr..
Noonan put in a plea in abatement, all
| Ieging former jeopardy, and contended
| that the defendant could not be put in
jeopardy again. He admitted that the
discharge of the jury was ap roper ju-
d1cial act but it must appear on the rec
| ord that they were discharged for good
and .sufficient reason, but there is no
| such racord.
| The minutes state that the jury dis
| agreed but there is nothing on the rec
| ord to show what became Of them. The
power to discharge jury before reach-
/ ing verdict exists in the Court, but only
| in case of absolute and extreme necessity,
but the records must show the reason for
| their discharge.
! Mr. Noonan quoted extensively from
authorities, but Judge Blair overruled his
motion and the trial went on. A consid-
cradle time was occupied in getting jury
as both sides interposed a number of
| challenges

c. R. R. CONDUCTOR KILLED
Struck by Bridge and Knocked I'm
dar Cars.--Ground to Pieces.

Samuel B. Hudnitt, of No. 1924 Hunting
ton avenue, Philadelphia, who was a
conductor on the Central Railroad, was
killed at Lennett street, Bayonne, about
six o'clock this morning. The train
which the dead man had charge OF is an
express and runs to and from Philadel-
phia.
When the train entered Bayonne at a
speed of about forty miles an hour, one
of the cars had hot-box. Hudnltt stood
on the lowest step of the car and leaned
out as far as he could to see which car
needed attention.
AT Lennett street a small bridge spans
the tracks, and there is not foot be-
tween the foundation of the bridge and
the cars when they pass. The conduc-
tor evidently did not notice the bridge
and his head struck it with fearful force.
He was thrown from the car beneath the
wheels and ground to pieces.
The train was stopped, the body picked
up and brought to the depot in this city.
Later it was taken to the morgue His
relatives were notified.
