HOUSES GOING UP.
Real Estate Dealers Report
Great Increase in
Business.

AS the News" said few days ago
there are unmistakeable signs of activity
in these branches of trade connected with
housebuilding. improvements are being
begun in every ward of the city and the
outlook for a good "fall business are
extremely encouraging.
In the line of house building in either
the Horseshoe or the Hudson City Sec
tions of the city there is steay progress
The latter section has for years been
gradually spreading and at present sew
eral buildings are being erected The
widening of Ferry street is bound to be
followed by numerous new buildings. The
ramshackle old buildings thatline the
former narrow thoroughfare have been
torn down and workmen are at present
engaged in tearing up the paving stones
preparatory to the laying of new stone
roadway. 1t is not difficult to rorsee that
this much needed improvement will prove
OF vast Importance, as it cuts through the
very centre of the Hudson City section
starting from the elevated station of the
North Hudson County Railway, in the
vicinity of which pass the cars of several
other lines of the same company
Some improvements are going on in the
Marion section. 1t was rumored months
ago that several companies were about to
erect factory buildings in that section.
The most notable Improvement in the
Hudson City section is the erection of
Scribner's Hall, in Central avenue in
which the Fremont Club will make its
home
Reports from the United Building Trades
Council of Hudson County show that the
building trade is brisk in the two sections
cited
In West Hoboken quite a number of
dwellings, are going up and one Of the
largest brewery buildings in the county,
that of the Consolidated Brewing Com
pany, facing the Boulevard, is gradually
looming up story by story.
Some of the owners of the meadow
lands in the Horseshoe" are filling them
in anticipation of disposing of them for
factory sites The dumping of city gar
bage there, coupled with the efforts of
land owners, are gradually wiping out
that section of the meadow lands in lower
Jersey City. But no factory or other
buildings are in course of construction at
the present time. Considering the To-
cation and easy and cheap access by rail
and water to the metropolitan marts and
to southern and western marts by rail, it
is surprising that this section is not al
ready covered by factories. 1t will doubt
less soon be.
Baker William Mason ,of upper Newark
avenue is having erected double three
story building in the middle of the block
facing Newark avenue between Oakland
avenue and Five Corners. The front is of
buff brick. Two stores will be located on
the first floor. Mr. Mason will occupy
one of them. The two upper stories will
be utilized as living apartments. Contrac-
tor William R. White is constructing the
building.

MINISTER IN TROUBLE.
Colored Man Objects Because
His Wife Is Befriended.

The Rev. John Edward Nichols, the new
pastor of the Cook Memorial A. NJ. E.
Zion Church at Riverhead, L. l., has
been in that town about a month. A
woman arrived there Thursday who gave
her name as Lena Johnson, and Mr..
Nichols announced she would act as
church organist, as his secretary, as a
general Sunday school teacher and a help
er in all branches of church work.
A man who gave his name as William
T. Brown, of 164 York street, Jersey City
t. Brown, of No. 164 York street, Jersey
City, and said he was the woman's hus-
band, came to town later and raised
trouble. His story was:
when the Rev. Mr.. Nichols was pastor
in Newark I lived in the same house with
him. My wife was his organist and sec
retary there, and her conduct brought
about a separation. Nichols had me ar
rested for shooting at him, but nothing
ever came of the case. He moved from
Newark to this place and he influenced
my wife to come here. She left her
boarding place in Jersey City yesterday
morning and told her landlady she was
going to Atlantic City, but instead she
went to Thirty-fourth street ferry.
1 WdLcHeU Her all lHe way anG look q

Railroad

Tthe name of Rena Johnson, but will be
known as Mrs. Brown in the future.
had occasion to return to Newark since
| locating in Riverhead, and 1 found that
the woman was being shamefully treat
ed. She asked me to get her a place
in the country where she could begin
life anew. I have secured position for
her in Flanders boarding-h house, and
when the season there is closed she will
be given a position by Mrs Cook, one
of my church supporters of Riverhead.'
Mrs. Brown corroborated the statement
of the minister, saying that she had been
a good wife to Brown as long as she
could stand his reatment, but finally had
to leave him.
Brown visited Lawyer Tooker Thursday
night and requested him to begin legal
proceedings against the minister, but the
lawyer said he had no grounds at present.
Brown says the furniture in the minister 8
house is his, but Mr. Nichols says it is
not Brown was still in Riverhead last

THERMOMETER CLIMBS.
There Is Just a Possibil :
ity of Goodness To-
morrow.

The official records of the local weather
bureau for the hours from midnight to s
o'cloc this morning plainly indicated
hot day ahead. Only about sunrise did
the figures fall below 50. At o'clock a
temperature of 81 degrees was registered.
3 degrees higher than the temperature for
the same hour yesterday, and one of the
highest o'clock temperatures here this
year. With such a start as the weather
had, as shown by the figures from mid
night on, it was no wonder that when the
sun got fairly up in the skies the mercury
bounded up the tube and in an hour a
rise in temperature of degrees was noted,
The temperature at 8 O'Clock was 81 de-
gress, with nothing in sight to keep the
mercury down. The 10 o'clock temperature
was 50 degrees.
The maximum temperature yesterday,
the third consecutive day of an unusually
persistent spell of torridity, was not 80
high by degree as it was on Thursday,
measured by the official thermometer on
top of the American Surety Building.
But down on the steaming sidewalks the
traveller between blistering walls, stored
with the heat of other days, felt as if
records had been knocked higher than a
kite.
AS on the day before, the thermometer
did it's loftiest at S P. M, when it record
ed "a degrees. 1t stuck at this mark more
than an hour. AT midday it was hotter
by three degrees than it was on the day
before, and at 8 P. NJ. it was one degree
above the record of Thursday for the
same hour. A breeze from the southwest
got a gait on it about this time and
cooled the fevered bulb of the ther-
memeter and it did not get above 81 de-
grees. 1t was hotter by nearly a degree
in the forenoon and much hotter in the
evening than it was on Thursday.
The prophets say that the heat wave to
the west of US is losing energy, and that
we may not have it SO hot today. The
official prediction is stationary tempera-
ture today, with fair on Sunday without
specifications as to heat.
Joseph Martin, 81 years old, of No. 337
Newark avenue. was overcome by heat
yesterday in front of his home. He was
taken to the City Hospital.

The Executive Committee is working
with all it's energy to make the coming
convention the greatest gathering of club
workers that has assembled in the State
and which will be a credit to the league
and most substantial ratification of our
candidates.
Columbia Hall with a seating capacity
of 1000 persons and standing room for

parading purposes, but is regularly in
corporated. every member being a Repub-
lican voter and worker, and it's social op-
portunities offer great attractions to
many prominent members who do not
participate in the military feature Any
reputable citizen of good character and
sound Republican principles is eligible to
membership. A glance at the roll of
members will show that it contains the
names Of many leading business and
professional men of the city and county.
The late Secretary of State, Frederick
7. Frelinghuysen, was always deeply in,
terested in the organization, and took par
ticular pride in it because Of the fact
that it was organized and adopted his
name without his knowledge. There are
now 1e4 names on the roll and present in
dicstions are that the club will or1tdo all
its former efforts this year. The battalion
has been drilling steadily every week for
three months past, and Notwithstanding
the extremely hot weather and the alb
sence of many members ON vacation, the
interest and enthusiasm of the members
is such that unusually large attendances
have been the rule, over seventy men re-
spending to the call and drilling last
Tuesday evening. The club had held regu-
lar monthly or weekly meetings during
the last four weeks, which it never had
been able to do before, the interest gener-
ally dying out after the inaugural parade
at Washington. Undoubtedly the Laneers
are the best drilled, disciplined and equip
ped of any similar organization in the
State, if not the entire country, and New
ark citizens are proud of the organiza-
tion.
Mr.. Frederick Frelinghuysen, by unan-
imous vote, at one of the largest meet
ings ever held in the clubs history, was
chosen president of the association. The
other civil officers elected for 1900 are:
Vice-president, Ralph M. Geddes; Secre-
tary, William A. Hall, Jr.; Financial Sec
retary, Clinton w. Sites; Treasurer, John
w. Cotton; Sergeant-at-arms, S. Whit

HIS LAST DECISION.
Justice Lippincott Decided
That Mrs. Roe Has
No Case,

On the day before he died Justice Lip
pincott filed a decision in an important
case, which has just been made public
It was in the ease of Annie D. Roe against
Michael Curley. Curley built some houses
in the Hudson City section in which Mrs
Roe was interested in 1888 and filed
mechanics lien against the property. This
was prosecuted to Judgment and the
property sold Through her counsel, Mr..
Alexander Simpson, Mrs. Roe obtained
from Judge Lippincott a rule to show
cause why the Judgment should not be
opened and Mrs. Roe allowed to come in
and defend the original suit The grounds
on which the rule was granted was that
Mrs. Roe had mo notice of the proceed
ings.
In his decision Justice Lippincctt says
that the fixing of the lien and the subse-
quent steps of the proceedings were
regular and that Mrs. Roes objections
We're not well founded. The only ques-
tion to be considered the Justice said, was
whether Mrs. Roe should be allowed to
plead TO the suit on the ground of sur
prise and merit. The Judgment was
entered in 1883 and no application for the
rule was made by Mrs. Roe until 1895. 1t
has taken five years to take the testimony
which is very voluminous. The Justice
then proceeds to apalyze the evidence
carefully He says it shows that in 1889
the defendant was aware of the condition
of affairs. but took no steps to seek re-
lief. The evidence also shows that In 1887
Mrs. Roe transferred all her property for
the consideration of 81 and natural
affections for the purpose of escaping
her creditors. which transfer was set
aside by the Court of Chancery. In. lSSN
the evidence shows Mrs. Roe was notified
BY a District Court proceeding Of Mr..
Curley's suit, but no steps TO secure her
alleged rights The court concludes that
the defendant is estopped by her own
laches and dlsmlsses the rule without
costs,

Small Investors Paying Up.

t'The small investors have been pay
ing off in a wonderful way the obliga-
lions assumed during the Worlds Fair
boom The market has consisted OF
safe investments for income, and buy
ing for USE" said Mr.. B. A. Fessenden,
a prominent real estate dealer.
Looking back over the past four
years and trying to imagine what
would have been the conditions of the
real estate business if Bryan had been
elected, one realizes what an escape we
had, and it does not seem possible that
any sane man would be willing to try
a change of this administration Of
skilled men trained to their work, who
have grown up to the problems that
must be solved, for that of men untriedl
and led by a man without executive
experience We do not need a voice
at this time, but clear, trained mind.
'The men who are willing to work
are all busy, the factories are running
and requiring more room, our hotels
are crowded with country merchants,
and the rails are hot with traffic:
What our real estate men want to
have is this kind Of thing continuing as
it is. 1t means houses for the working
men, and for the employers sites for
factories and warehouses"

certain. This is serious defect in
the law which should be remedied.

AS YOU start West from the the
Ohio river, you always hear that the
next scate you get into is going
Democratic. In Pennsylvania it is
Ohio; in Ohio it is Indiana; in Indi-
ana il is Illinois; in Illinois it is Wis
consin; in Wisconsin it is Minnesota,
and here in Minnesota they are going
to carry the Dakotas. AS matter of
fact, there is no reason to doubt that
Mckinley will carry every state he
carried iu 1896, and Kansas, Wash
ington, Montana and South Dakota
besides. Even Nebraska is not with
out hope. All that is necessary to
Republican success in any of these
states is to get the workingmen, who
owe their jobs to Mckinley prospect
ty, to the polls.
