WOODS BOOM.
It Was Promptly Punctured
Last Night at Atlantic
City.
GARDENERS NOMINATION CERTAIN
He Will Have Burlington, At
lantic and Ocean Solid
and Some of Mercer.
GARDHER'S NOMINATION CERTAIN

Especial to .'The Jersey City News.'o
ATLANTIC CITY, July 10, 19O0.-The
delegates to the Republican Second Con-
gressional District Convention, to be held
here today got their heads together last
night and the boom for Assemblyman
Ira w. Wood of Mercer county was pune
tured in short order. There will probably
be but little trouble in the convention and
Congressman John ]. Gardner of Atlantic
county will be nominated hands down.
Even the friends of Mr. Wood concede
the nomination of Mr.. Gardner, all
though they expect to place their favor
ite in nomination. Burlington county,
upon which Mr.. Woods friends had
counted for support, will be solid for Mr..
Gardner, as will Atlantic and Ocean.
Mercer county may give Mr. Wood
thirty-five or forty votes on the first ball
lot, but after that the nomination of Mr..
Gardner will be unanimous.
The primaries were held here last night
with the result that Mr. Gardner won
easily. The convention promises to be a
rather tame affair. and will be entirely
one-Sided

BURNED STEAMSHIP ODORS
Complaints Come From Wee
hawken-WiIl Soon Be
Abated.

Clerk Cornelius Rooney of the County
Health Board recently received COM
plant from the Weehawken police and j.
D. Stewart, Superintendent of the West
Shore Railroad, that the stencil arising
from the North German Lloyd steamship
Brennan and Main, which were sunk on
the Weehawken flats was very obnoxious
to the inhabitants of Weehawken and the
passengers of the West Shore Road and
. menace to their health Mr.. Rooney
doubted whether his Board had any
jurisdiction in the matter as the New
York authorities are given jurisdiction of
the harbor tosthe exterior pier line. There
was also a question in his mind whether
the United States Health officers were not
the proper persons to appeal to in the
matter.
Mr.. Rooney, however, wrote to DR.. Dill
lingham of the New York Health and
learned from him that while the ships
were in the jurisdiction of New York it
had been agreed that DR.. Simon Helfer
of Hoboken, should have charge of them.
Dr. Helfer said that he had been given
full power to stop the stenches and was
doing all in his power to do so. The
obnoxious stencil he said came from rot
ting grain on the Main and the grain was
being removed as rapidly as possible. He
thought it would all be removed in two
or three days. Whenever decayed animal
matter was brought to the surface, he
said powerful disinfectants and deodoriz-
ers were used
Mr.. Rooney conveyed this intelligence
to the Weehawken police and Mr..
the matter.

MRS. FUHRINe'S FUNERAL
Services Will Be Held Sunday at
Her Residence.

The funeral of Mrs. Henrietta Fuhring
of No. 1OS SuszSx street, who was fright
ened to death Tuesday afternoon by the
thief who snatched the satchel from Miss
Laura Rickerich, at the door of the Hud-
son County National Bank, is to be held
on Sunday. Mrs. Furhring was the
widow of the late Jacob Fuhring.
She had suffered for long time with
a disease of the heart and liver. She
was confined to her bed on Sunday and
on Monday afternoon, after luncheon, she
rested in an invalids chair at the front
window.
Mrs. Fuhring was getting along very
nicely and her family thought her on the
road to recovery When the thief ran
across the street from St. Matthew s
Church his sudden appearance and the
bowling of his pursuers startled Mrs
Fuhring.
1t is believed that she got the impression
that the man was about to enter her
house. In her weakened condition is was
a severe shock. She screamed for help
and sank to the floor, where she died al
most Immediately. Mrs. Fuhring's daugh-
ter rushed to her assistance, but it was
too late.

LICENSE YOUR DOGS.
If You Don't There Will Be
a Fine to Pay--A Human
Growler's View.

That much disliked official, the dog
catcher, is getting ready for business and
owners of dogs, yellow or otherwise, bet
ter pay their dollars and secure tags
from the Health Board or there'n be an
additional fifty cents to refund for their
capture. Some people have an idea that
1t is cheaper to avoid paying the dollar
since they only pay fifty cents at the
pound for their captured pet. This, how
ever, is only partly the truth. The fifty
cents will not be accepted at that canine
emporium unless the owner of the dog
procures his license, signed by the Health
Board and countersigned by the Comp
troller.
If the board only had sufficient funds
to hire men, what would be like house
to house canvass would be made to COM
pei owners to take out licenses 1t is a
well known fact that not ten per cent. of
the dog population of Jersey City is taxed.
What's the use?' complained a citizen
today. Hitherto 1 have been paying
regularly a dollar a year for my house
dog and yet my next door neighbor has
three and he calls me fool for paying.
He doesn't pay sou for them. l am sure
that in my block there must be at least
twenty dogs and mine is the only one
tagged
IF had my way growled another cit
izen, who happened to be in the Health
Board office at the time, ''I would make
every one who keeps a dog pay IS
year, and those who wouldn't, take the
beast and kill him, You call that cruel,
and am depriving the poor man from
/ 1,o of1xy
to keep a lot of snarling, swapping beasts,
menaces to ones safety, to say nothing
about chances of hydrophobia? | live in
Bergen, and my business keeps me out
late at night. AS 1 pass through certain
streets, half of the house owners, all
poor people, keep dogs of all sorts and in
all conditions, and these owners will care
lessly leave their gates open. What is the
result? I am going homeward, and out
from one yard bounds a vicious brute. His
barks awake others and before | can re-
cover from the surprise have dozen or
more beasts snarling around me. It's a
disgrace These owners should be pun
ished for keeping dogs like these at large,
and the police on every beat should re-
port them. tell you that there are GER
tain streets on the West Side that I
wouldn't go down at midnight, not for
s., ,000 In future I am going to buy gun.
No wonder so many dogs are poisoned
Is there any reason under the sun why
people should be allowed to keep these
beasts to annoy others? I am going to
write to Mayor Hoos about it and ask
him to get an ordinance or something
passed to check this, what is really very
serious ni1tter.'

YESTERDAYS HEAT
A Number Of Prostrations
Reported May
Be Fatal.

There were two heat prostrations In the
Bergen section yesterday afternoon, one
of which may result fatally. In both
cases the heat caused the victims to fall
and sustain severe injuries.
The prostration that may be attended
with fatal results is that of Mrs. Chris
tina Nelson of Clinton street, Brook
lyn. She was riding her bicycle up the
Mercer street viaduct about four o'clock
when the sun was the hottest.
She had reached the top of the viaduct,
when her wheel was seen to wobble. She
threw her hands to her head and the
bicycle left OF guide itself, swerved to the
edge of the one hundred foot embankment,
throwing her to the pavement 1t was a
decidedly narrow escape for Mrs. Nelson.
A few inches more and she would have
been precipitated over the embankment
to sure death on the large, sharp boulders
below.
Mrs. Nelson lay unconscious on the
read until neighbors from houses nearby
came to her assistance They succeeded
in restoring her to consciousness and
finally she was able to tel her name. She
would not tell the number of the house
in which she resided. A coach was pro-
cured for her after her injuries about the
head and body had been attended to and
she was taken to her home.
Christian Lyons, painter, of No. 257
Arlington avenue, was working on a
scaffod, painting a house, at 40. 50
Storm avenue, yesterday afternoon, when
suddenly he became dizzy and in trying
to grasp the ropes of the scaffold he fell
headlong to the yard, distance of thirty
feet He landed on his side and broke his
right arm. He lay there for several min
utes protrated by the heat until some
passerby saw the victim and called the
police to have him attended to- He was
sent to the City Hospital, where his arm
was set, after the doctors succeeded in
bringing him out of the unconscious state
caused by the heat He is very low from
the effects of the suns stroke and fall from
the scaffold. 1t is believed that he was
injured internally also, which may impair
his chances of recovery.
Stephen Morrinsky of No. 3S1 Warren
street, was overcome by the heat last
evening and was removed to the City
Hospital.
James Calvin, of No 1892 Henderson
street, is in ST. Francis Hospital, being
late yesterday afternoon.
Charles Mckinley. of No 1S3 Washing
ton street, was overcome by the heat
yesterday afternoon and removed to the
City Hospital.
1t was noticeable throughout the Ber-
gen section last evening that very few
people were on the stoops or verandas
after ten o'clock. 1t is quite probable
that the majority of the residents took
advantage of the cool breeze to gain the
sleep lost on the previous evenings, when
not one in hundred secured any rest.
The oppressive heat of the past few
days has caused the majority of bicycle
riders to abandon their wheels tempo
rarily. The Boulevard has been almost
deserted save for an occasional enthus-
last. who braves all sorts of weather to
indulge in his favorite pastime The
bicycle cops report that there is prac-
tically no riding and that even in the
evenings when the sun goes down the
riders are afraid to brave the heat.

JUSTICES COMMISSION
Governor Assigns Justice
Garretson to MiddleseX
and Monmouth.

Supreme Court Justice Abram @. Gar
retson received his commission from Gov
ernor Voorhees, yesterday afternoon and
he at once went to qualify before Chief
Justice Depue in Newark. The Chief JUS
tice was absent and the ceremony will
take place this morning. The. new JUS
tice will be assigned to the Middlesex and
Monmouth Circuit.
As 'sThe News stated yesterday he has
resigned from the presidency of the Title
Guarantee and Trust Company and direc-
torship in the ]. c. & Bergen Railroad,
Third National Bank, North Jersey Street
Railway Company, Newark Plank Road
Company, and other corporations in which
he held office. Justice Garretson holds
stock in these corporations but he cannot
well dispose of that stock for obvious
reasons.
But" he said, 81 can and will be per-
fectly free from all official connection
with them. I believe a Justice of the Su-
preme Court should be absolutely free and
independent the moment he ascends the
bench. I believe that he cannot be too
cautious and should remove every obstacle
that might hamper the workings of this
high court of Justice
At the same time of his resignation from
official positions in corporations Justice
Garretson severed his long partnership
with Mr.. James B. Vredenburgh, who has
not yet effected new firm.
Its too soon yet to say what I will do, .
said Mr. vredenburgh this morning,
Justice Garretson's appointment has been
80 sudden
The directors of the corporations named
have as yet no official knowledge of JUS
tice Garretson's resignation. They will
meet in a few weeks and act upon them.
The members of the Hudson County Bar
are talking of preparing suitable resolu-
tions of congratulation to Justice Garrett
son on his elevation.
