TAINTED IN COURT.
Victim OF Trolley Accident Couldn't
Stand the Strain.

A SUIT for $4,000 damages in when Miss
Persona Losey of Belmont avenue. Jersey
City, is the plaintiff, and the North Jer-
sey Street Railway Company the defend
ant, was begun before Justice Collins and
a jury in the Supreme Court Thursday af-
ternoon. Counselor Flavel MCGEE repre-
sents the plaintiff and William H. Speer
Jr., the defendant.
Miss Losey claims she sustained serious
injuries by being thrown to the street
through the sudden starting of a Newark
car from which she was about to alight
at the Junction. She says she has since
suffered from spinal meningitis and ner-
vous prostration.
The defence is that the plaintiff finding
the car she was in was going in a differ
ent direction to what she expected, did
not wait for the car to stop but attempted
to get off while it was in motion.
At recess some little excitement was
created through the plaintiff falling to
the stairs in faint as she was leaving the
court room.
DR.. c. C. Hendricks, who was present,
assisted in carrying her to Judge Blair's
private office, where restoratives were ad-
ministered
The trial of the case will be resumed
on Tuesday.

ONE ON KENNY.
But It Is All In the Family, So 1t
Doesn't Count.

A few weeks ago Freeholder Michael
J. Kenny purchased sleek, aristocratic
looking black goat for his little son
George to play with. The goat drawing a
little wagon with George and his friends
seated therein enjoying ride has be-
come quite familiar sight in the
vicinity of Hamilton Park.
The goat has become very tame and is
a great pet with the children of the
neighborhood, but Of the patrons of the
Freeholder's cafe. The Freeholder him
self enjoys watching the goat eating cab
bage leaves, etc. He will eat them from
the hands Of persons feeding him.
Thursday afternoon a collector for a
cigar manufacturing firm called to coll
lect bill of 81. The Freeholder counted
out seven one dollar bills on a table in a
private room.
Before the collector took up the bills a
commotion of some sort was heard in the
street and bth men rushed to the side
door of the cafe to ascertain the cause
of the excitement. They remained on the
sidewalk for some minutes.
When they returned they found Billy"
tn black goat just emerging from the
private room chewing away on some
green looking paper and almost choking
in an effort to swallow it. The goat had
cleared the table of the seven dollars and
put himself on the outside of the money
The F'reeholder was mad as a hornet
but saw that it was no use to grieve
the reflection that ''it was all in the
family"

Especial to 'The Jersey City News")

There were present at the meeting the
pastor and one layman from each Metho-
dist church in the city

LABOR TO UNITE.
Three Hudson County Gen.
tral Bodies to Join
Forces.

A movement of vast Importance to or
ganized labor-the union of the three CEN
tral bodies of the county, the Central
Labor Union, Building Trades Council
and Central Labor Federation-is under
way and will, in all probability, soon be
consummated Labor is better organized
in Hudson county, its membership is
larger and more influential than in any
other county of the State, but its power
has to a certain extent been curtailed by
lack of unity in the central bodies. The
proposed union win ameliorate this con-
dition and the 200 organized working
men of the county, will be working to-
gether under the one banner for the COM
mon good of all. The Importance of such
a union cannot be overestimated. 1t
would compel recognition that none of
the three present central bodies can COM
mand.
OF the central bodies the Central Labor
Union and the Central Labor Federation
practically cover the same field of use
fulness, except that the membership Of
the latter is largely composed of German
speaking workingmen of the North Hud-
son section.
That the need of one general central
body governing all trades and industries
in the county is felt is evidenced by the
fact that many of the locals affiliated
with the Building Trades Council have
allied themselves with the Central Labor
Union, which organization has recently
experienced a remarkable growth,
The proposition for union most gener-
ally favored is the establishment of a
central body composed of two sections
one the building trades and the other to
be known as the miscellaneous section,
which would embrace all trades and in
dustries not directly connected with the
building trades.
The first step in the proposed union
would seem to be the amalgamation of the
Central Labor Union and the Central La
Dor Federation.
The sentiment of the leading members
of all three central bodies is strongly in
favor of union and the accomplishment
of the plan seems now to be only ques-
ton of a short time.

hope was expressed that the club might
have prosperous year ahead. This wish
was unanimously endorsed by all MEM
bers. Inasmuch as the past years have
been successful and the membership of the
club constantly Increasing there is war
rant that at the end of the season sue
cess will crown the efforts of the mem
bers in having a club where strife and
struggle are ever rampant, yet peace
reigns supreme and to the outside world
there would be no indication of the great
strain on the minds of men to get the
better of their fellows.
The next meeting will be held on Sep
tember 27, at 8 P. NJ, at the regular
quarters in the Palma Club, where the
members enjoy the comfort second to
none offered to any Chess Club Know
