Home.

Sadie Carey, 2S years old, and unmar-
ried. who was employed as housekeeper
for Thomas CDonnell, saloon keeper,
at No. 243 Newark avenue, was found
dead in the bath room on the top floor
of her home at o'clock this morning.
The room was filled with gas.
About II o'clock last night Sadie re-
turned to her home very much under the
influence of liquor. ODonnell repri-
manded the young woman and words fol-
lowed. Sadie left the house in fit of
rage after swearing she would kill her
self before morning o'Donnell paid no
attention to her remarks because of her
condition.
After Sadie had left the house ODonnel
went downstairs to the saloon to attend
to business. He there met his friend,
James Sullivan, who frequents the place.
O'Donnel asked Sullivan to remain with
him over night. The invitation was ac-
cept About 1:S0 O'Clock the saloon was
locked up and both men went upstairs
to retire.
Shortly after the men were in bed
Sadie returned home. She rolled into the
front bedroom a. which the two men were
and lit the light A Jet without a burner
was turned on and when lighted the
blaze fiared up. Sullivan who was awake,
saw what was going on but was ashamed
to get up and turn off the gas. Sadie then
took off her coat and threw 1t on the
floor and left the room.
AS son as she had gone Sullivan got up
and turned off the gas, which had black
ened the ceiling. He then went back to
bed again AS he was about to doze off
Sullivan heard a noise in the hall. He got
UP to investigate the cause. When he
opened the door he was surprised at find
ing the carpet on the stairs ablaze. Real
izing the situation he ran into the bed
room and seizing quilt from the bed
smothere the flames.
Not hearing Sadie about he went back
to bed and fell asleep without informing
ODonnell of the happenings.
About seven o clock his morning, Sulli-
van noticed a strong odor of gas. Going
to the bathroom he found the door lock-
ed. He awoke O'Donnel and the two
forced open the door. They found Sadie
partially dressed lying in the bath tub

GRANTS LITTLE SCRAP.
Chowder Party Schedule Causes
Some Friction.

The L. S. Grant Association held a
meeting last night Harmony was tenn
porarily interrupted by short scrap be-
tween William Burns and President Reed.
Mr. Burns, who prides himself on his par
llamentary knowledge thought it fitting
time to register a kick because of the
postponement of the chowder party sched-
uled for last Saturday evening. He
claimed that the proceeding was irregular
and not according to parliamentary rules.
The Entertainment Committee was also
taken to task for its laxity in handling
the event.
President Reed became indignant at the
accusations, and told Mr.. Burns in forci-
BILE language that his criticisms were ILL
timed, and tnat 1t was far easier to stand
about and criticise work than to take part
in 1t. Mr.. Reed stated that the Entertain
ment Committee had worked industriously
but was unable to complete arrangements
at the time scheduled.
When Mr.. Reed finished Burns said
nothing and remained quiet during the
balance of the meeting.
The candidates nominated at the con-
vention Monday night were unanimously
endorsed. The members agreed TO do
their duty as Republicans. and will work
hard to secure their election. The major
ity would have preferred Mark Fagen,
but will make the best OF a bad job.
The Entertainment Committee reported
that all arrangements for the chowder
were completed. and that 1t will surely
be held tonight. Delegations from the
Minkakwa Club, the Greenyille Republi-
can League and the Americus Club have
promised to be present. The Republican
Shrievalty candidate, John J. Erwin, has
also promised to grace the event with his
presence. He will probably take advan-
tage of the occasion and deliver his first
campaign speech.
Edward S. Brown, the Assembly candi-
date, will make his debut under the direc-
tion of Leader Edward Fry Mr.. Brown
is Sunday School superintendent of the
Greenville Branch Of the Bergen Baptist
Church. He is also an ex-treasurer of
the Minkakwa Club. He is little known
as yet. but Mr. Fry viii Introduce him to
the Republicans in the district.
Leader Fry said last evening that the
recently nominated candidates, are un-
usually strong, and stood good chance

An effort will be made to retain the
present site. Several members urged that
the club should purchase a site for the
building.
Mr.. Nelson also spoke in favor of such
action, adding that if the committee was
not successful in retaining the present
site, he would give site within a few
blocks of the present location. This
committee was given full power to act
There was plenty of discussion over the
payment of several bills One in particu-
lar was that for gas. Mr.. Landrine sug-
gested that in view of the decided in
crease in the gas bill, the club house be

The War Departments Beef.

The War Department. in answering
the charges of furnishing bad beef for
the American troops In Porto Rico. APP
pears 10 have adopted the process en-
plOyed by General MERCER In arriving
at the guilt Of Dreyfus. II Is working
by elimination. II Is obtaining the
statements Of all the packing estdb-
lishmeLts IN the United States, 10 the
effect that they are In the habit OF pun

diers did something 10 the beef 10 max

childish exhibition than that he Is noH

Department is not that American pack

latter was furnished TO General Miles's
army IN Porto Rico by the War De
partment. IL is a specific charge which
has been proven up 10 the hit. and the
effort TO throw the responsibility on
American meat-packers Is disreputable
The people are not all fools. They know
very well that American packers or any
other packers who have a regard for
