Chief Justice Announces To-
day that He Will Be
Chancellor.
LEARNS HIS NEW DUTIES
Expresses Surprise at the
Quantity Of Business In
the Chancery Court.
[special to ..The Jersey cIty News. n

TRENTON, April 25, 1900.-Chief Justice
Magic today formally accepted the ONCE
of Chancellor, rendered him by Governor
Voorhees, Thursday evening. He was at
the State House yesterday and today
familiariizing himself with the duties of
his new office.
The office is the most honorable one III
the State, the Chancellor taking prece-
denee over the Governor in the Court OF
Pardops.
Chic Justice Magic had much of the
detail work of the, Chancery Court ex-
planned to him by Colonel s. Meredith
Dickinson, the Courts reporter, and the
Chief Justice expressed some amozemeht
at the volume of the business in the
court. 1t is likely, however, that when
he assumes the post of Chancellor, the
Chief Justice will not attempt as great
an amount Of work as did the late Chan
cellor MeGill.
Governor voorhees, last evening re-
fused to discuss the judiciary appoint
ments He had just returned from BasK-
ing Ridge where he attended the tuneral
O fthe Rev. DR.. John c. Rankin, and
had not the opportunity to discuss the
ChanceIlorship with Chief Justice Magic.
It was the intention of the Chief JUS
tice to confer with Governor voorhees,
last night, but the conference was neces-
sarily put off by the absence OF the Gov
erncr.
Asked for a confirmation of the report
that the Chief Justieeship would go to
Justice Depue, the Governor declined to
make a statement one way or the other
The State, however, as announced yes
terday, is pretty certain of realization;
Justice Depue for Chief Justice, and
Common Pleas Judge Fort of Essex fofr
Associate Justice.
Governor Voorhees, is said to favor Rob
ert N. McCarter for the Essex county
judgeship, although some of the politi-
clans of the county want Joseph l.. Num-
elevated to the berth. Mr.. Mum was an
active aspirant for the place when it was
given by Governor Griggs to Judge Fort.
All of the appointments will be ad inter-
im The names will, of course, be sent to
the Senate for full terms next winter.

WELCOMES and FAREWELLS
Police Justice Nevin Given a
Gavel and Murphy Lots
of Flowers.

The Second Criminal Court room was
fragrant with the odor of roses and other
sweet smelling flowers when Police Justice
James j. Murphy sat for the first time
There were but few cases to be disposed
of. The offenses were minor ones and
the offenders were all discharged. JUS
tice Murphy announced that hereafter
court would be called at eight o'clock
A jardiniere of roses, which was among
the offerings was sent over to Matron
Rose Murray of the County Jail, who is
i'll. Nearly all the other flowers were
taken to the meeting place of the Noon
Day Club, where they decorated the
clubs dining table.
Ex-Police Justice John j. Nevin was
this morning presented by the newspaper
men of Jersey City with solid silver
mounted ivory gavel. The presentation
took place IT, the reporters room at Police
Headquarte1a. The Justice was taken by
surprise, but thanked the donors in neat
and feeling speech. James f. Norton
headed the movement.
The presentation speech was made by
Mr.. T. E. Healey, of 1.-THE Jersey City
News" Mr. Healey, on behalf of the
donors, thanked the ex-Justice for the
great courtesies which he had al
ways extended to the newspapermen
and assured him that he was held in their
highest esteem not only for the courtesies
shown them, but principally on account of
his integrity and ability.
The gavel was appropriately inscribed.

Mr.. DAVIS'S GENEROSITY
Lafayette Methodist Church
Given 1886.

An instance of the generosity of City
Collector Robert Davis and several Of his
staunch followers came to light few
days ago, when it was learned that they
had aided the Lafayette Methodist
Church to the extent Of $685.. There Is
an interesting story connected with the
magnanimous gift that goes back to the
time when the annual fair was held IN
the church for the benefit of the church
fund. This was shortly after Christmas
Mr.. Davis, Anthony Hauck anad James
Nolan visited the fair one evening and
purchased a large stock of goods from
the various booths. They were informed
Of the large debt on the gymnasium in
the rear of the church. used by the La
dies Physical Culture Class and the
Kings Sons Society. The cost to ft up
the structure with the various apparat-
uses was more than s4OO. Commissioner
Hauck was told by Pastor Robinson. who
was then at that church, of the debt,
and the visitors promised to defray a
portion of the expenses.
A few days ago President Walter Will
Jams of the Kings Sons Society was told
to call at Mr.. Davis's office. He was
more than astonished to receive $3.50
promised him some time ago by the
group of officeholders.
The gift was duly appreciated and a
letter of thanks was sent to the donors.
The expenses of the gymnasium are now
entirely cleared off and the society is in
excellent shape.

ELIZABETH, April 2s, 19ao-One of the
interesting matters on the political tapis
in New Jersey at the present time is the
efforts that are being made by the friends
of Frank R. Bergen of Elizabeth to secure
for him the post of Supreme Court Judge
in Cuba.
Back of these efforts there is an inter-
esting story, for it is only to save Mr..
Bergen from defeat in the coming Con-
gressional convention in his district that
so much energy is being devoted to the
judgeship matter.
Mr.. Bergen. for some months past, has
been an active aspirant for the Congress
sional nomination, and has been making
war on Congressman Fowler, who seeks
to be returned to Washington.
The contest has been a very lively one
and United States Senator Kean has been
lending his aid to the Bergen forces.
Back of Bergens candidacy, it is said,
san ambitious wife. who seeks to enter
the portals of the social world at the Fed
era1 capital.
But Congressman Fowler has too
strong a hold on the people of his district
and 1t is now plainly evident taht he Will
be given a denomination. Mr.. Bergen
cannot withdraw with anything like good
grace.
He has announced himself as being in
the race to the finish, and to get out now
when it is being openly assorted that he
cannot get but very small minority of
the delegates to the convention would
place him in quite embarrassing posi-
ton.
1t was because of these conditions that
his friends turned their attention to the
Poro Rican judgeship and with a view
of keeping harmony in the party in Union
county all of the big leaders from New
Jersey, at Washington, are pushing the
boom along.
Mr.. Bergen has been to Washington
during the week. Governor Voorhees, has
also bene there in his behalf and Sem
ttors Sewell and Kean and Attorney Cen
eral Griggs are each adding their in
fluence. so that the Union county man S
chances of success appear to be very
rosy.
The outcome of the contest in Union
county over the Congressional nomina-
ton is another evidence of the supremacy
of the Voorhees, wing, as arrayed against
the Kean forces there.
In no battle that has been pitched be-
tween the two forces has Kean come out
on top and the impression prevails among
some of the State leaders that it is pret-
ty nearly time the junior United States
Senator began to take tumble to him
