COUNCIL DECLINES.
Will Not Stand for a Nomina-
ting Convention.

The city eouncial held a meeting Satur.
day evening, but transacted very little
business. Its time was taken up with a
request from number Of citizens that a
mass meeting be called for the purpose Of
placing In nomination a nOn.partiSan
ticket for the coming municipal election.
The council very properly decided that
such action would be wholly without It's
jurisdiction and declined to comply with
the request.
Candidates will therefore have to be
placed on the ticket In the same way as
has heretofore been the custom. All that
Is necessary Is to file with the recorder
within five days Of the election petition
signed by ten voters and you can enter the
stirring career Of practical politics, Office
seeking.
This being the easy case, It is said that
many will try their luck at the uncertain
game.
1t Is reported and generally credited,
that there Is a move on foot to put a
straight republican ticket In the field,
headed with Tom MeEwen, for mayor.
The purpose Of such move is difficult to
divine, for even on party fight this town
is democratic, and many good citizens are
opposed to drawing party lines In munic.
ipal elections.
There will undoubtedly be non.parti.
san ticket in the field. A persistent effort
Is being made to induce J. n. Robbins to
run for mayor. He has not yet definitely
decided what he will do, though It Is very
probable that he will yield to the strong
influence now being exerted to this end.
For minor Offices there Is no dearth Of
candidates. For the position Of marshal
there are dozen men In this camp who
are in the hands Of their friends.

Smelter for Seven Devils.

A private letter was received In this city
Yesterday from a gentleman associated
with Boston and Seven Devils Copper
company, which is operatinga large group
of claims IN the mining district OF that
name, which gives some important In.
formation. The letter states that this
company Is "husy on the completion Of
the railroad and the development Of the
properties, In order to have large output
when they erect smelter." There has
been considerable talk anent this smelter
proposition, brought about by the fact
that the company's holdings are not Of
large value without this adjunct and,
while this Is recognized by the people
forming the corporation, yet no immediate
steps towards such installation is to be
made this season. There must be much
more work done before a smelter could
properly be operated in that section though
when that development Is accomplished 1t
will warrant one Of the largest smelling
plants In the United States.-BOise

old daughter of William Clark, of No. p
Monticello avenue, who died yesterday
morning from typhoid pneumonia, after
two weeks Illness Christian Scientists

nothing to warrant the investigation of

prosecute those alleged to have contri-
buted to the girls death.

WAS NOT STAR B0ARDER.
So Mrs. Lawrence Would Not Serve
Steak Pudemah's Way.

John Pudemah, seventy-five years old,
1aborer, who boards with Mrs. Clara
Lawrence, of No. 307 Washington street,
was arrested yesterday on a charge of
atrocious assault and battery preferred by
Mrs. Lawrence. Police Justice Potts of
the First Criminal Court, held Pudemah
for examination tomorrow morning The
hearing was postponed from this morning
because Mrs. Lawrence was not in court
to press the charge.
Roundsman Mackey of the First Pre-
cinct police station, who arrested Pude-
NAH, was told by Mrs. Lawrence that the
prisoner hit her with a plate. Her story
is that Pudemah requested that the steak
which Mrs. Lawrence announced for din
ner yesterday be fried in either butter
or lard and that onions be served also.
Mrs. Lawrence told Pudemah that he did
not pay enough for his board to war
rant such delicacies and she served the
steak without the dressing requested.
When the steak was placed before him,
Pudemah, Mrs. Lawrence says, took up
plate and hit her with it, steak and all.

street, and William H. Turnbull, of No.
178 Fulton street, Brooklyn, were arraign-
ed before Police Justice Nevin in the

ago and took lodgings for the night. The
next morning they offered check for SIS,

drew the check to Kings order. 1t was
subsequently discovered to be worthless.
The police claim that the check is only
one of a number that have been palmed
eff on unsuspecting persons in the Hud-
son city sections by the same parties.
The two young men were held for further
examination until tomorrow, when the po-
lice will furnish further evidence against
them.

SMALLPOX IN THIS CITY.
Railroad Porter On Monmouth
Street Has the Disease.

City Physician Rector reported to
Health Inspector Benjamin this morning
that a case of smallpox had been dis
covered at No. 462 Monmouth street In
this house there are three families, num-
bering in all seven people. two of whom
are school children, who attend PuDIIc
School No. g.
The patient is John Howe, twenty-slX
years old, colored porter employed by
the Pennsylvania Railroad. He lives on
the third floor of the house, which IS
four-story frame building, with his wife
and two children. He has occupied the
apartments since February 10, on which
day he arrived in this city from New
Orleans, his former home. The unfor-
funate man was stricken with fever two
days after he arrived in this city and he
called in a physician, whose name County
Physician Converse refused to give and
which could not be learned. This physician
treated the patient for pneumonia for five
days and then called in DR.. Rector.
The true cause of Howe's sickness was
not discovered until February q, when
the eruption took place and it was then
that smallpox was diagnosed as the cause
of Howe's sickness. There was no quar-
antine and the physician continued to
treat the patient while he remained at
his home. Howe was removed to Snake
Hill this morning. All the people in the
house were vaccinated by Drs. Everett
and Hoffman.

NEVER CALLED HER WIFE.
Witnesses Testify Against
Mrs. Carrie Buddington's
Dover Claim.

Ex-Governor Werts continued the TAX
ing of testimony this morning in the case
of Carrie Buddington, who claims to pe
the widow of the late George Focht,
wealthy iron manufacturer of Hoboken,
and is endeavoring to secure dover rights
in his estate. The first witness today was
Charles Sunkel, Of First street, Hoboken,
who rented drug store from Focht. IN
1894, a few months after the firs9 Mrs.
Focht died the witness said Focht and the
netitioner came into his store and Focht
introduced the woman to him as Mrs.
Ruddington. About year later Focht
came into witnesses store and witness
asked him how Mrs. Buddington was.
Focht replied, "She is not Mrs Budding
ton any more, she is now my Wife SUD
seouently he brought the woman into
witness store and introduced her as MS
wife, They visited the store together ire
quently and sometimes witness would for-
get and call her Mrs. Buddington, where
upon Focht would correct him and say
she was Mrs. Focht. Ex-Judge Hudspeth
subjugated the witness to rigid cross
examination but failed to shake his tes-
timony.
Mrs Mary Sunkel, wife of this wit
ness. followed and corroborated her nus
bands testimony, but Judge Hudspeth
succeeded in tangling her up on dates, etc.
Similar testimony was given by r. :.
Clausen furniture dealer OF NO. lzi
Jefferson street, Hoboken. He SAID tnat
Focht introduced Mrs Buddington TO hlm
as his wife and authorized witness to give
her credit Theodore Vasel, of No. ~
Adams street, Hoboken, testified that ne
was a personal friend of Mr.. Focht and
that he often saw Mr.. Focht and MRS.
Buddington together. He frequently
heard Focht call the woman Carrie and
'sMy lady friend Focht never intro
duced the woman to him as his Wife
Once Focht told witness to call the
woman Mrs. Focht,'' but explained that
it was only as a matter of form On
ross-exa mdnat ton the witness stuck to
his assertion that Focht never introduced
the woman to him as his wife.
The next witness was Matilda Vasei'
who was a servant in F'ochts house for
some time previous to Focht's death.
She said she had always regarded the
petitioner as Mrs. Focht and had often
heard Mr.. Focht call her his wife. On
cross-examination witness denied all the
testimony given by Mrs. George F'ocht,
Jr., at a previous hearing concerning the
alleged attempt to poison Mr.. Focht In
his last illness.
John Kellar, who was coachman for Mr..
Focht up to the time of his death, testi-
fed that he often took Mr.. Focht and the
petitioner out driving and he never heard
Focht call the woman his wife The
petitioner frequently asked the witness
in the presence of Mr.. Focht to call her
'sMrs. Focht.'
.sWhat did Mr.. Focht say then?" asked
Mr. Hudspeth
ssOh, he would smile with laugh on
his face" replied the witness, whereat
there was a roar of laughter in the room.
Ths case was on at recess.

CAN'T PAY ALIMoNY.
Mr. Halch Has Only Cleared s11
Since September.

Counsellor Edward ]. Luce made ap-
plication to Vice Chancellor Pitney this
morning to have Frank e. Hatch of Ruth
erford declared to be in contempt of
court Hateh's wife, Emma L., secured
a divorce from him about year ago and
a decree directing Hatch to pay her SIS
a week alimony. Mrs. Hatch alleges that
since December l she has not received
any money on account of the decree.
Henry M. Nutzhorn of Hoboken, counsel
for Hatch, opposed the motion. His client,
he said, was a travelling salesman for
the American Box Machine Company, OF
New York, and worked on commission.
Since September l he had only cleared
s11.79 above his expenses and was there
fore unable to obey the order of the
Court. The Vice Chancellor ordered that
the matter be referred to Special Master
Thomas M. Moore of Passaic to ascer-
tain Hatch's financial responsibility.
