BOERS HAVE ESCAPED.

Chances for Lord Roberts Catching Them
ina Net Very Slender. =
LONDON, April 26.-1t is now apparent
that the chances of Lord Roberts catch
ing the raiding Beers in a net are very
slender. The Beers have everywhere
retired at the pressure Of the British I'd.
vance and the hope that General Run
die would have been able to induce them
to remain at Dewetsdorp until they had
been forced to fight or surrender has
been disappointed. g.. -.. (
NO attempt was made to pursue tbeS
commandos retiring from Wepener.
Everything now depends upon the
progress Of General French's cavalry
brigade, but they are entering very
difficult, hilly and practically unknown
country. The cavalry has already had
long march over heavy and sandy
roads, and nothing is known regarding
the condition of the horses. In any
case it is now a race between the Beers
and the forces of General French and
General Hamilton.
The stories of the advance Of British
infantry and artillery and of the ability
of the Beers to move rapidly with guns
and baggage over their own country
lead to belief that Lord Roberts en-
veloping operations will fail and will
have to be repeated further north. At
the most he will probably capture some
Boer guns and baggage and harrass the
retreating burghers.
Considerable results have been at
tanned in the relief Of Wepener and in
the clearing Of the southeastern corner
Of the Free State Of Beers, but the Boer
army, whatever it's strength, has still to
be dealt with.
Besides the casualties among tho men
the Boer attacks on Colonel Dalgety's
position wrought great havoc among
the horses and cattle.

Men in New Fire House Find Their

At the meeting of the Twelfth Ward
Public Improvement Association last
night there was considerable discussion
over long complained nusances in the
shapesof COW sheds at No. 220 Hutton
street. A man of the name of Johnson
owns the sheds and keeps over score of
cows. The Health authorities were APP

RESOLUTIONS FOR CLARKE.
Eighth Democrats Show Their APP
probation of His Work.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Eighth Ward Democratic Club was held
last evening at their clubrooms, corner
Monticello and Harrison avenues. In
closing the meeting the club adjourned
for the summer to the fourth Wednesday
in September.
There was a large attendance. Mr..
James c. Clarke was presented by the
club with a set of resolutions in album
form telling of the service and work he
had done for the Democratic party. The
resolutions were presented by the presi-
dent, Mr.. Frank Gormly to Mr.. Clarke.
1t was surprise to Mr.. Clarke. He
accepted the token and made a short ad-
dress in which he thanked the club for
the interest they took in him. Commits
soner Hauck responded with a short adj
dress, as did other members of the club.
There was a letter of regret from Mayor
Hoos and others who could not be present
After the speeches were made the COM

THE ROW IN THE NINTH
Things Begin to Look Seri--
GUS for the Bergen Re-
publican Club.

The Ninth Ward is a hot-bed OF pohtical
descriptions in the Republican party. W
late there have been interesting develop
ments that will eventually bring about the
dissolution of the Bergen Republican
Club, and the probable organization OF an
independent club. This question was de-
bated with much enthusiasm by the anti
ring element few weeks ago. but at that
time it was deemed advisable to await the
result of the present bitter controversy,
which arose over the turning down OF
Louis Stubenvoll for a place on the
Executive Committee.
The protest filed with the County Com
mittee against Edward T. Mitchell as
chairman of the Organization Committee,
demonstrates that Mr.. Stubenvoll is not
alone in his fight. After the bi-weekly
session Tuesday night the state of affairs
was discussed by the anti-ring people.
There were twelve signatures on the pro-
test and all were committeeman from the
Ninth Ward. This protest caused no END
of a surprise to the leaders. They mad
gathered anticipating the resignation Oh
Mr.. Stubenvoll, and the leaders OF the
Ninth Ward had already laid plans Tor
capturing the chairmanship of the Ward
Association, now held by Mr.. Stubenvoll.
The membership of this association is
about divided. From now on great things
are looked for IN the Ward Association
With Chairman Stubenyoll in line with
the anti-ring members it is thought that
the ring people will be shut out all along
the line. There will be no joint primaries
in the fall if the anti-ring people know 1t.
Precinct primaries has been their slogan,
and their hopes will be realized for
time at least, until another Ward Associa-
ton is organized.
President William Harrison of the Ber-
gen Republican Club, who was put in that
place through the grace of the leaders
of the ward. has threatened dozen
times to resign and get out forever. He
has become so disgusted with the manner
in which the members were used by the
leaders that he has no further use for
the club or those in power. The same
can be said of dozens of others who were
at one time loyal to the party.
Another howl goes up from certain in
dividuals against the representatives from
Hudson County, who are to arrange for
an outing to be rendered to Franklin
Murphy the chairman of the State Com
mittee Edward W. Woolley, Frank J.
Higgins and Edward T. Mitchell are on
the committee A certain prominent Re-
publican said that this alone was enough
to disgust any good Republican.

ATTENTION, HEALTH BOARD!
Jersey City's Mortality Will In
crease If You Do Not Stop
This Nuisance.

Residents in the vicinity of Grand street
and Pacific avenue, are protesting vigor-
ously against the foul ordors arising from
Old Mill Creek and the stagnant pools
in the lots east of the trestle of the
National Storage Company. The stencil
finds its way into every house and the
occupants are forced to vacate their
apartments at times to secure fresh air.
The filling in of the railroad property
, at that point some time ago, did not seem
to lessen the evil. which is now worse
that ever. The rcent spells of warm
weather have caused the deadly stenches
to arise and the result is that the neigh
borhood is breeding place for disease
The building of a sewer in the Mill
Creek lessened the nuisance for time,
hut the time has arrived when the filling
in of the pools, is a necessity.
The residents will bring the matter
before the Board of Health to. secure re-
lief from death dealing disease.

He was walking along Exchange place

In great hurry to catch a boat. The
man brushed against Antic, and when a
few feet in front of him dropped a fat
looking pocketbook Antic saw the book
and picked it up.
Now the success of the pocketbook
game depends on the character of the
victim. If he believes, in the language
of the small boy, that findings is keep

Antic pushed the pocketbook in his
pocket and found something to interest
him in a window, while the man who
dropped the bait hurried on. apparently
unconscious of his loss. Antic was pre-
pared to hurry around to the steamship
when man tapped him on the shoulder
and Smfllngly said
( Mice find, old man. 1t looked pretty

Antic admitted that the pocketbook did
not belong to him, but that he would
keep it until the owner came back.
.Oh, come now, old man, what's the
use of turning money away from you.
Let's whack it up and 1 won't say a
word about it,
Antic was satisfied The pair went into
a convenient place and searched the
pocketbook. There were number of
clippings and other papers and a nice
new $50 bill.

Antic went to the pier, where the Mar

was received. Delegate Rogers, of the

concerning this craft.
The fact that the carpenters employed
