spare. One thing seems certain the lines
OF the old Fourth district must be reform
cd SO as to admit of more population, and
the Third district, too, must take in more
territory. OF course all this contemplated
redistricting depends upon the State being
allowed an additional Congressman, and
even without an increase the lines must
be changed in order to provide for more
equable population
The Hudson county Republican leaders
have a great many grievances to present
to the Legislature and they will insist
with all the power they can command
upon the adoption of measures which will
give them redress. They charge that the
Democratic machine in Jersey City owes
its success principally to the power of
the saloon keepers, who are coereed into
It's support because all liquor licenses are
granted by the Board of Aldermen, the
composition of which invariably is anti
Republican. To cure this evil and to
benefit the Republican organization the
proposition is made that the Legislature
shall enact a law providing for a semi
partisan board of excise the same as ex-
lists in Newark and some other cities of
the State. They say that then the liquor
dealers would not be under the obligation
Of voting the Democratic ticket all the
time. The next thing the Hudson county
people want is the enactment of a law
for the abolition of spring elections in
Jersey City and Newark. This would
give them an advantage over the Demo-
Gratis, because it is believed that there
would be better prospect for the sue
of tl~ ID 4solr1
pal elections were held at the same time
as the State elections They also want
the Legislature to pass a sunset election
law, and, furthermore, a State constabu
larly law on the same lines as the one
proposed by Senator Platt for the larger
cities of the State of New York And
there are still other propositions which
the Hudson Republican leaders will bring
before the Legislature for their own par
ticular advantage.
The Legislature will convene on Tues
day, January s. 1t will consist in the
House of forty-five Republicans and
fifteen Democrats. In the Senate seven
teen Republicans and four Democrats.
There will be forty-three Republican votes
on joint ballot to elect the United States
Senator.
This is next to the largest Republican
majority known in the history of the Sem
ate In 1897 the Democrats only had seven
members in the two branches.
Judge Gottfried Kruger, the brewer OF
Newark, is going to resign and a dozen
candidates are now consuming the spare
time of the Governor, urging their claims.
Newark has three candidates. They are
Oscar Keen, Richard G. Jenkinson and
Harrison Van Duyne. General w. F. Rus
ling of Trenton, has asked for the honor,
but the Governor states that the appoint-
ment will go to Democrat. Mayor Rob-
ert S. Rudd, of Glen Ridge, Essex county,
is thought to be leading the list.

Sensations of a BalIoonist.

This is how the famous French aeronaut
Michel Corday describes the sensations of
the balloonist:
ascent, descent, progress-it all goes
on easily and imperceptibly. The register
ing barometer and thermometer; the
pieces of cigarette paper thrown over
board and fluttering about; the changing
geographic picture of the surface of the
earth; those are the only signs of move
ment. In the higher you ascend the more
eager grows the desire to mount higher
and vet higher
Another aeronaut suggests ballooning as
an infallibie cure for nervous diseases, a
treatment, We suppose, based on homeo-
paths principles.

81. BRAKES TROUBLES.
Vice Chancellor Appoints Re-
ceiver for the New Jersey
Mutual Realty Company.

The irrepressible Silas Drake of Eliza
beth, the man who, he says himself. ..has
built more d-n meetin houses and the
atres than any other man in New Jer-
sey,' was very much in evidence In Vice
Chancellor Pitney's Court. this morning
Mr- brakes strong play has always been
to buy up cheap a farm somewhere with
IN easy distance of the Central Railroad,
lay 1t out in lots, organize boom town
and sell the lots to the great advantage
of Mr.. Drake. Among the municipalities
which he has thus formed are Aldine,
Dewey Park, Highland Park and Lincoln.
1t was the latter place which brought
Mr.. Drake into the Court of Chancery
this morning. 1t will be remembered in
passing that in Lincoln Mr.. Drake intro
duced the experiment of female suffrage
in municipal matters and at one time a
woman was Mayor and several of the
sex sat in the municipal Council.
When Mr.. Drake founded Lincoln he or
ganized an association which he called the
New Jersey Mutual Realty Company for
the purpose of disposing of the lots. This
was stock company, and he sold many
shares of the stock. After a while some
designing individuals not appreciating the
peculiar self sacrificing motives of Mr..
Drake for the public good, secured control
of majority of the stock and ousted Mr..
Drake and his management Since then
Mr.. Drake complained to the Vice-Chan-
cellor this morning the affairs of the COM
pany have been running down hill and
the company is bankrupt. Its liabilities,
he said, were $4,000, and its assets were
not up to that amount. He, therefore,
through Craig Marsh of Plainfield, this
morning, asked the Vice Chancellor to
appoint a receiver. Amos Clark of Somer-
vile, who appeared for the anti-Drake
faction, acknowledged that the company
was insolvent, and consented to the ap-
pointment of receiver. He suggested
that the directors of the company be al
lowed to wind UP its affairs. The Vice
Chancellor would not listen to that, and
Senator Reid of Somerset county was
spoken of. When the Courts attention
was called to the fact that Senator Reid
is son-in-law of Mr.. Clark he was also
dropped, and finally James P. Northrup
of this city was appointed He was re-
quired to give $4,000 bonds.

THIS WURM TURNED.
Which Accounts for Divorce Case
in the Court of ChancerY.

Ex-Assemblyman Walscheid applied to
Vice Chancellor Emery this morning for
an order dismissing the bill of Bertha
Wurm for a divorce from her husband,
Innocenz. The parties were married in
Germany several years ago and have lived
in North Bergen for some time. The
ground upon which Mrs. Wurm asks for
divorce is extreme cruelty, and the
cruelty mainly consisted in applying to
her vile epithets in German, which would
not look well in self-respecting English.
Mrs. Wurm stood this, she says, as long
as she possibly could, but finally that
particular Wurm turned and through
Counsellor Leuly began her action for
divorce.
Mr. walschied's ground for his motion
was that the complaint was not sufficient
and the Vice Chancellor reserved his de-
cision

NO FREAK BETS.

Freak election wagers were made by
scores in Hoboken, and since the 7th of

with applications for permits for public
settlement of bets. These range all the
way from rolling peanuts along car tracks
to being dragged along the pavement on
hobby horses. To date none of the per-
mits requested has been granted.
Chief Donovan and Captain Hayes have
come to the conclusion to such exhibitions
are nothing more than public nuisances
They declare that no permits will be al
lowed to applicants for such purposes, and
that the principals in such will be in dan
ger of arrest as disorderly persons if they
persist in publicly settling wagers of the
kind
