the rocky summit and kept up a sus-
tanned rifle fire, but suffered some

terry was sent and succeeded in silenc-
ing the Boer fire. Meanwhile two COM

HEBREWS ENDORSE THE TICKET.
Say Nice Things About Democracy
and the Candidates.

Two hundred members of the Hebrew
Good Government Club assembled at the
club rooms, Henderson street and Rail-
road avenue, Thursday evening for the
purpose of electing officers for the en-
suing year and transacting considerable
other business. The officers elected were:
Counsellor Peter H. James, President; S.
Hershenstein, Vice President; H. Rabner,
Secretary; Joseph A. Machinskey, Treas
urer, and A. Margoles, Collector.
Mr. James, who is also counsellor to the
association, at first objected to holding
the office of president, but upon the per-
suasion of all the members present he
accepted the office. All the outgoing Off
GERS made short addresses
The Democratic ticket was endorsed.
Counsellor James and Mr.. Brown and a
number of the members spoke for the
Democratic candidates. They talked of
the Integrity of the men who have been
chosen to represent the people and of
the principles of the Democratic party.
The outgoing officers will make their re-
port at the next meeting, April 20. A
committee will be appointed to devise
WAYS and means to erect new club
house for the association.
The Hebrew Good Government Club was
organized Just about a year ago with a
membership roll of less than twenty
names and through the hard work of the
organizers, today, 1t is one OF the largest
membership roll at te present time con-
tain over three hundred names, among
them many of the most prominent mer-
chants of the city.

Colonel Grimes of the Penitentiary re-
ported that horse belonging to that
institution had been accidentally drowned
by the giving away of a well near which
the horse attached to cart was standing.
The same official also reported the at
tempted escape of James Barry, who was
sent to the Penitentiary for one year, on
November 8, 1899. He was detected by
Keeper Thomas Kelly while trying to pass
around a fence at the southerly end of
the Penitentiary grounds. The keeper
fired one shot to bring the prisoner to
terms and he quickly surrendered.
The Penitentiary Warden sent COM
munication in which he spoke of the bad
condition of the storehouse floor; the need
of a new dock in place of the one which
is rapidly rotting away; the bad condi-
tion of the roofs of the engine room and
the leaking of the boilers at the stone
crushers.
The communication was referred to the
committee in charge of that institution.
On motion of Freeholder Heating the
Board adjourned until April 10.
