TWELFTH WARD lhPRoVERs.
They Object to the Proposed Street
Car Route.

AT the meeting Of the Twelfth Ward
Improvement Association last night the
proposed trolley line of the North Jersey
Street Railway Company from Newark
avenue along Tonnele avenue to the
County road and thence to Snake Hill
came in for considerable discussion. The
members are very glad to becure better
trolley car facilities, but most of them
oppose the route proposed.
President Hoehle, in the course Of the
discussion, said he would rather see a
line run from the Palisade avenue ele-
waited station, through Ferry street to
Manhattan avenue, to Sanford place, to
Zabriskie street and along Germania av-
enue to the County road. Vice President
Prigge and others agree with Mr.. Hoehle
Mr.. Holden said he doubted the wisdom
of opposing any proposed improvement
for that section. He agreed, however,
with the president concerning a route.
All agreed that there should be better car
service on the western slope of the hill
A resolution was passed directing the
committee on trolley car service to wait
upon the railway officials and try and per-
suade them to change the proposed route.
It was announced that twenty-five sub
scription books had been issued in con-
nection with the effort to celebrate the
opening of the new fire house. 1t is pro-
posed to make this big affair. Street
and Water Commissioner James Nolan
has taken charge of one of the books and
has promised TO do all he can in the mat
ter of raising funds for the celebration. Z
The Fire House Committee reported
that the foundation of the new building
was about completed and that water con-
nection had been made.
Vice President Prigge reported that the
contract for the Improvement of Lincoln
street had been awarded at SO per cent.
of the estimated cost.
More complaints were made concerning
the condition of sidewalks. Mr.. Herwig,
a Republican, defended Sidewalk Inspec-
tor Kelley. He said the inspector had
but recently been appointed and had his
hands full.
He did not belive in hastily criticising
the inspector and he called attention to
the fact when notice has been served up
on property owner to repair his side
walk, he is given thirty days in which
to do So. Thirty days have by no means
elapsed since notices which grew out OF
complaints of the association were served.
vice President Prigge suggested that
the street and Water Board should utilize
the abandoned corner lampposIs as street
sign posts

"They not only deprived us but you,

tehy wish, and that is one Of the main
reasons of the equal taxation bill was not
given a chance"
Mr. Leon Albeit. Jr., and James J.
Fallon also scored the Republican party
for their incompetent and careless man
ner in conducting affairs of the county
and State for their own selfish gain
Mr.. James Luby spoke upon the finan-
cial question of the State. He showed
conclusively the marked difference in the
expense of the running of the State under
Democratic and Republican rules.

During Trial of the Fox
Divorce Case.

There was a pathetic scene IN the
Cnancery Court this morning. Vice Cham

flying, the wife sat at the lawyers tables
besides her counsel. and the child of the
couple, pretty two year old girl, was
seated in the back part of the court room
busily engaged in nursing big wax doll.
The husbands testimony appeared to dis
tress the wife; she bit her lips and with
difficulty kept back the tears. The child
noticed this and tenderly placing the doll
in a seat went up to her mother.

ing concernedly into the eyes of her
mother A relative seized the child and
led her weeping from the ROOM

[By Cable to The Associated Press
MANILA, Oct &C. 1Sss.-5:50 P M.-The
Filipino Congress has selected commits
sion of native priests to proceed to Rome
and explain to the. Pope the abuses and
iniquities of the friars and ask for cor
recting Intervention. Aguinaldo. in re-
cent speech, at Tarlac, characterized the
friars as intriguers and abusers of hon-

1--WE can have no consideration for the
;friars, whose iniquities and abuses are
doubtless unknown at the Vatican, where
only the friars' own misleading reports
are received. If this commission has not
yet left Manila, the fact is due to the.

CARL H. RUEMPLER.

Mr. Carl H. Ruempler, the candidate for
Sheriff, has won a host of friends
throughout the county since he was plac-
ed in nomination by the party. His pop
ularity is increasing day by day All
Democrats unite in the sentiment that the
selection is one that is sure to give salts
faction.
Mr.. Ruempler with the other candi-
dates, is making an earnest campaign.
His constituents feel that his majority
next month will be a record breaker.
The Shrievalty candidate has been sue
cessful in business in this city since he
came here from Germany in 1875. When
boy he began business as a carpenter.
This he abandoned when he came to this
country. He had In Jersey City a brother
in the hotel business and for time was
associated with him. Subsequently Mr.
Ruempler opened the Court House Hotel,
on Newark avenue, and kept it until near
ly year ago, when he retired from busi-
ness It was in 1895 that he entered politi-
cal life, being elected to the Legislature
He was the second highest man on the
ticket; his plurality over the highest man
on the Republican side being 4,475. In the
Assembly Mr.. Ruempler was always
found advocating and voting on bills for
the public welfare and to him is due the
passage of the act which authorized the
placing of sidewalks on the Boulevard.
Quiet and unassuming in manner, yet a
tireless worker, he made many friends In
Trenton. His sound judgment and per-
sonal worth marked him for political pre-
ferment and long before the convention
was held his name was pre-eminent.
Mr.. Ruempler lives on Magnolia avenue,
is married and has two children. He is
a member of the Robert Davis Associa-
ton, the Arion Society, and is chairman
of the Investigating Committee of the
Raymond Roth Pioneer Home of Green
Vile.
