Mr. Van Wickle explained the purpose of
the meeting. He said it was for the COM
mittee TO decide whether the medal was to
be sold or distributed free. He preferred to
see it source of income rather than an ex-
pense for the committee. He thought 1t
could be made of some historical metal and
that it could be struck off at the govern
ment mint in Philadelphia.
Mr.. Thomas p. Woodward moved that the
committee medals and badges recon-
mend to the citizens committee Of the
centennial celebration that the medals to
be struck off should be presented to the

There was some discussion of the charac-
ter of the medal to be adopted. The gen.

was that the richest effect could be secured
with bronze. Mr.. Van Wickle said 1t had
been suggested that pictures of the Pres-
dent in 1900 and the President in 1900 be
placed on the medal. 1t was also suggested
that picture of the White House, the Cap
itol, vista of Pennsylvania avenue or the
coat of arms or seal of the District be
placed on one side of the medal.

WANTS TO LOWER TRACKS
North Hudson Company Can't
Run Cars Under New
P. r. r. Cirder.

The Street and Water Board yesterday
afternoon received the following letter
from Mr. David Young of the North
Hudson County Railway Company
.Gentlemen-The P. R. r. are about
erecting an additional girder across Grove
street, at their Harsimus branch. The
effect of this girder is to reduce the head
way between the track and said girder,
so as to make it almost impossible for
us to operate our cars underneath the
same.
'sThe present headway as now existing,
is low that only certain cars in our
possession can be used on said line. It is
important to increase this headway and
the North Hudson County Railroad Com
pany hereby petitions your Honorable
Bard to permit it to change the grade of
the roadway between the curbs in the
vicinity of this bridge so as to secure a
clear headway of 12 feet inches, between
the proposed girder and the rail of your
petitioners.
I'VE are informed that this can be done
without disturbing the curbs or sidewalks
and that the whole can be affected by the
lowering of the track and the repairing
of the roadway for a distance not ex-
ceeding $50 feet in length and the same
will in no way disturb the public in the
use of the same"
The letter was referred to the Commit
tee on Streets.

Has His Resignation in His
Pocket But Doesn't

TOO MANY RING MEN THERE
Stubenvoll Will Wait Till His
Own Crowd is in Force SO

Successor.
TOO MANY RING MEN THERE

The bitter dissension in the Ninth Ward
the Republican hot bed of controversies,
asserted itself very strongly last evening
at a meeting of the Ward Association.
For more than two hours the factions
quarreled over spoils in the way of the
appointment of election officers for the
ward. The warm session demonstrated
that never before was the fight so hot or
the anti-ring people more determined
Coming as this does almost on the eve
of most important election, it changes
the aspect in that ward entirely. No
effort has been made to band the warriors
together or to harmonic matters in the
least. Each side is out for its own plans
and the ringsters holding the best hand
naturally win out every time
Last evening was to have seen the last
of Louis Stubenvoll as ward leader or
chairman of the Republican Ward AS
sociation. He had announced that he was
to resign from the place, but was to have
some say as to who his successor was to
be. He did not get out, although his
resignation was in his pocket. The time
was not an opportune one, he said. He
would wait until the conditions were more
that he would wait until there were very
few ring members present, thus giving
him the opportunity to choose his own
successor and be supported by the anti
ring people.
The scrap last evening resulted from an
attempt to jam every onesided resolution
through. 1t contained a list of fourteen
election officers, two for each precinct in
the ward. This was offered by Edward I.
Mitchell. Immediately the anti-ring peo-
pie assaied the resolution, claiming that
1t was against their wishes and at variance
with promises made by the ring people. A
motion was offered to lay the resolution
on the table. The vote was tie Then
Mitchell sent messenger after J. H.
Potts, who came in a little later. But
the original resolution was withdrawn
and resolution to allow he delegates
from each precinct to select their dele
gates supplemented. This was agreed to.
The objects of attack were Charles
Mason, of the Third Precinct and John
P. Landrine of the Seventh Precinct.
When the turns of these men came
around to select their election officers,
both were shut out John Graham did the
naming. Thus the ring carried every
thing before it.
The Precinct Committeeman We're shut
off from say and there is more hard feel
ing as result. The fight is on again in
earnest. Precinct primaries will never be
given to the anti-ring men and this has
caused more trouble than can be smoothed
over in a few days.
At the conclusion of the Ward Associa-
tion meeting, the Bergen Republican Club
met to ratify the ticket nominated last
week at Philadelphia. Resolutions were
passed extolling the candidates and
Flavel MCGEE, a delegate to the conven-
ton, told of the small part he played in
the great political game in the Quaker
City.
