LEHIGH'S ELEVATOR.
The New One Near Black
Tom Is Now in
Operation.

The grain elevator recently constructed
by the Lehigh Valley Railroad, just this
side of Black Tom, is now in operation
with several tracks leading up to it from
the main branch An extensive business
in grain will be transacted when the
elevator is in full blast. The structure is
one of the largest in the county. It has
a capacity of millions of bushels. 1t
equals in size the elevators of the Erie
and Pennsylvania Railroads.
Since the Supreme Court held that the
railroad had a right to cross Communi-
paw avenue at grade, the work of extend
ing tracks and building new freight yards
has gone on with marvellous rapidity
Four tracks cross Communipaw avenue
leading from the big yards in Jersey City
At present, the yard at Pacific avenue and
Grand street is reached over the trestle
of the National. Storage Company, which
is practically the Lehigh Valley road
After leaving the National Storage tracks
the Lehigh Valley trains go over on the
main line, which runs parallel with tne
Central tracks Now it is possible that
the tracks of the Storage Company may
be abandoned, as there is a big hill lead
ing from the Valley yards to these tracks.
1t is said that there are plans under con-
the Lafayette yards to the Jersey City
yards to be used to run trains out over
the new line which crosses CommunipaW
avenue at grade.
A very short time ago the announce
ment was made that the Lehigh VALLEY
road had completed it's freight line to
Buffalo. The connecting link was made
in Greenville. When the trestle over the
meadows leading from Communipaw ave-
nue. is completed, trains will be run regu-
larly over the new road. This trestle was
built several years ago when the grade
crossing question, was pending in the
courts. There are two tracks being built
thereon and this trestle crosses the Cen
trail Railroad tracks at the Point of
Rocks in Greenville A large amount of
money is paid to the Central road for the
privilege of running cars over its tracks
near Greenville and the officials are
desirous of having the new road pushed
as rapidly as possible to do away with the
big expense.
The freight traffic of this road has in
creased two-fold within less than decade
Yards have sprung up everywhere in the
Lafayette section. The old CommunipaW
ban grounds that faced the New York
Bay shore have been cut up by the rail
road to make room fer extensive improve
ments. Tracks cam be seer in all direc-
tions near the Communipaw shore and
the several acres of ball grounds are a
perfect net work Of tracks, running in all
directions. 1t is possible that another
freight station may be built at Commune
paw.
There are two yards in Lafayette, with
the prospect of a third. The railroad
owns ali the property north of Pacific
avenue and the canal and these sites
would make desirable freight stations and
yards. The only way they can be reached
is by grade crossing. The railroad has
made no attempt to cross nor has any
intention of this sort been announced, bul
the people suspect and keep watchfu
eye on the road to be sure where they
are at.

The Court of Special Sessions started
business on the instalment plan yesterday
afternoon. Thre convicted offenders, two
boys and a man, who were araigned for

Willie White. with a knife during a row
in front of No. 202 Washington street.

ing a clothing store at No. IA Newark
avenue, were each sentenced to five years

eighteen months. He was convicted on
Tuesday of committing simple assault
on Superintendent Opie of the Newark
Beef Company at Harrison. Daniel Budd
convicted of keeping a dsorderly house.

SLANDERED PASTORS WIFE
Queer State of Affairs In a
Harrison Lutheran Church.

One of Sheriff Ruempler's deputies yes
terday served paper in a suit which is out
of the ordinary. Through ex-senator
Michael Barrett the Rev. Randolph
Schwinzer, pastor of the German Evan
gelical Lutheran Zion Church of Harrison,
and Barbetta, his wife, bring suits against
Adam Schied and Emile. his wife. In her
declaration Mrs. Schwinzer says that on
Sunday, July l, in the church at Harrison,
that Mrs. Schied. in talking with a Mrs.
Young and a Mrs. Berger, said that she,
Mrs. Schwinzer, had made money in an
unlawful manner. This, Mrs Schwinzer
declares, has so damaged her character
that it will take $4,000 of Mr.. and Mrs.
Schied's dollars to make it good again.
The Rev Mr.. Schwinzer bases his suit
on the same unwarranted charge of Mrs.
Schied. He solemnly declares in his de-
ing his happy state and condition, and
contriving and wickedly and maliciously
intending to bring his said good name
bring him into public scandal. infamy and
disgrace with and amongst all his neigh
bors and good and worthy citizens of the
State and to cause it to be suspected that
he was guilty of misdemeanors against
the law of this State in that he kept a
house of ill-fame, and to harass, oppress,
impoverish and ruin him in his profession
as a minister of the Gospel, and to de-
stroy his home and the trust which he and
his wife had in each other as husband and
wife.
TO a Mrs Bergomeister, the declaration
alleges. Mrs. Scheid said, "If you go to
the same church she does (meaning Mrs.
Schwinzer), You are as bad as she is" Mr..
Schwinzer construes this to mean that he
was cognizant of the wrong doing which
Mrs. Schied says his wife was guilty Of.
He also declared that by Mrs. Schied' S
charges he has been greatly injured in his
calling and standing as pastor of the
church and deprived of divers great
profits and advantages which he would
otherwise have gained had not his house
and home been brought into bad repute.
The summons is returnable August 8.

L. McDermott, Mayor Edward Hoos, ex-
Judge Robert s. Hudspeth and ex-Gover-
nor Geo. I. Werts, any. one Of whom
1 Sc by The News remarked a lead
ing Democrat today, that there is little
likelihood of a call for special election
because of. the expense. That may be so,
but the district is unrepresented, and who
knows from the present alarming state of
affairs in the East whether it will not be
necessary to call a special meeting of
Congress-
Mr.. Robert Davis will not discuss poll
tics for the reason, he said that there
WA sno occasion for it. "Plenty of time"
is the answer he generally returns to any
1t is scarcely likely anything will be
done until the end of September.
Aside from that there is plenty of
aetiyiyt among the various wards and
precincts as to the Democratic nomfna-
tionS for Freeholders and when the race
really begins it will be a lively one for
every one place theer are at least half a
dozen aspirants 1t SENS to be general
holders will be nominated, but for what
reason does not clearly appear. Some urge
that any former Freeholder would
weaken the ticket, while others believe
and a third class think that having once
tasted the sweets of office the Freeholders
should step down for others.
Among Republicans there will also be a
ward associations even now have stopped
wrangling among themselves to centre
their attention on possible candidates. Re-
publican leaders like Col. s. D. Dickinson,
E. W. Woolley, P. F. Wanser and j. E.
Macarthur are too busy enjoying their va

and on their side there won't be any like
lhood of active work for at least a
month. The Republican guns will begin
to boom after the Frankling Murphy As
sociation on September TO- when all the
bgwigs Of the State will be there Con-
corning this outing there is an amusing
story going the rounds. A distinguished
general, who takes an interest in poll
tics here, conceived the brilliant idea of
putting every attendant at the outing in a
sort of uniform and having a parade
through the streets and a band of music
at the head
Mice lot of guys we'd loook," said a
well known politician, with about 300
men in line at the most and a few days
after Bob Davis and his association
comes along witr 5000" That settled the
parade and those who will go are to go
quietly. as the policeman would say, to
the place from whence the boat starts.

CATASTROPHE In HoB0KEN.
Policeman Takes Nine Lives With
Five Shots.

A Hoboken policeman accomplished the
remarkable feat this afternoon of tax
ing nine lives with five shots from his
revolver, and, strange to say, he isn't
stuck up about it. 1t occurred this way:
Mrs. William Sanchez, who lives at No.
101S Willow avenue, Hoboken, has a
Maltese cat which purrs, looks pretty
and scratches. The last accomplishment
she practiced on her mistress and Miss
F'ieda Sanchez this morning, because
there wasn't nice live canary bird on
toast served for breakfast. Puss was
indignant. With arched back, tail erect
and claws ready for business, she flew
at the women and then ensued such a
shrieking, kissing and caterwauling that
the ''active" officer on the corner rush
ed across the street, wiping his mus
tache with one hand and grasping his
revolver in the other.
'.Helpi' "Murderr" 'sThievest, "Fire!'
screamed the ladies.
Bang! bang! bang! bang! bang! barked
the revolver and the soul of that NAL
tese cat flew for Malta or wherever
Maltese cats souls go.

TRY TO BREAK DEADLOCK
Harrison Citizens Discuss
Means Of Securing a
Council Chairman.

Residents of Harrison are discussing
with considerable interest the Develop
ments of the two meetings held in the
town hall on Monday night, the first of
the Common Council, which balloted
again for president without success, and
the second of citizens, who called upon all
the Aldermen to resign and suggested the
appointment of a receiver for the town.
The general sentiment is that it is un-
likely that any of the Aldermen in the
Rice faction will resign, and while those
III the Reardon faction have stated that
they are willing to step down and out,
they will probably take no action until
their opponents are out.
There is movement on foot in the
First ward to call meeting of the Demo-
Gratis OF the ward, organize and march In
body to the town hall the next time the
council meets and make a public demand
on both the members of the council from
that ward-Aldermen Bulger and Sullivan
that they break the deadlock and vote
for Alderman Riordan.
Another movement talked of is for the
citizens of the town to meet, secure COM
petent counsel and act on his advice as to
what steps should be taken to have the
deadlock broken
Alderman Van Deren, Republican, is
meeting with general commendation for
his course in supporting Riordtan, a Demo-
crat, together with the two other Repub-
lican members of the Council. A matter
which has been brought up concerning his
charges that lead was stolen from the
work on water mains and sold relates to
the office of assistant water purveyor,
now filled by John LYONS It is claimed
that the office is not provided for in the
town charter and information concerning
Lyons's appointment is hard to get. 1t is
said that there is no record in the Council
minutes concerning his appointment.
Members of the Democratic Town Com
nittee declare that some action may be
taken by that body in addition to the
presentation of petition signed by
twenty-one of its twenty-five members
to the council urging Riordan's election.
A member of the committee said today
that Alderman Rice would be opposed for
the Assembly nomination this fall and
that if the Hudson County organization
persisted in having him nominated the
committee would see to it that the town
took it's place in the Republican column,
SO far as the Assembly ticket is concern
ed.
The presence of Frederick Kissam, of
Jersey City, who is said to represent
Robert Davis and County Collector Hugh
Dugan, also of Jersey City, at the meet
ings on Monday night, is believed by
many to show that the county organiza-
tion is taking considerable interest in the
outcome of the fight.

JOE" FRANZ'S BIRTHDAY
Many Prominent Horseshoe Men
Help Him Celebrate.

There is probably not a better known
known man in the Third ward than Joe
Franz who attends to the haircutting and
shaving of the aristocracy of the Horse
shoe. Joe coAducts a barber shop on Pa
vonia avenue next door to the Park
House, and the frequenters of that local
ity there is no barber like him. When it
became known a few days ago that ssJoe''
birthday in a royal style, all hands looked
for an Invitation.
The day set apart for the celebration
was yesterday, and TONY" Reuters, at
First street and Jersey avenue, the place.
The guests arrived early, including ex-
Superintendent G. P. Smith, Captain J. r.
Kelly, Detective M. Clark, ex-Director of
Education w III. Quinn and ex-Aldermen
Ste1tman. When all was in readiness
Joe grandiloquently ordered wine all
around. Rhine wine was the variety se-s
lected, and many happy returns for the
day was DRUNK.

NO SPECIAL ELECTION.
Gov. Voorhees, Thinks it Unneces.
sary Unless Extra Session is Called

Especial to 'sThe Jersey City News."1
TRENTON, Aug. 2. 19OO.-Governor
VOORHEES, said yesterday that he had taken
no action regarding a special writ of cleo
ton for a successor to the late Congress-
man DAILY. 1t was believed at the State
House yesterday that there will be no
need to hold a special election, but two
separate tickets for Congressman will be
put in the field in the district. One of
these will be to fill the unexpired term of
Congressman Daily, and the other will be
for the full term, commencing March 4
next.
By this course the expense incident to
special election would be avoided, and
the new Congressman would be chosen in
ample time to take his seat when Congress
next meets, bearing of course, the possi-
l5ility of an extra session.
Just how matter will shape themselves
in Hudson county is difficult to foresee,
but it is considered probable that one
man will be chosen to fill both the uneX-
pired term and the regular term.
