William Jennings Bryan Will on Tues

date for president of the United States
since Horace Greeley. He knows it:
Richard Croker of the ice trust knows
1t; National Chairman Jones of the
cordaSc trust knows it; the Scranton
Times knows it. They have foreseen it.
for weeks and knowledge of it has in
the closing days of the campaign made
them desperate. Croker and Jones ad-
wise violence at the polls. Bryan grows
hysterical in his appeals to class preju-
dice and social discomfort. The Scran-
ton Times grows purple in the face
with its frantic yells that Republican
money is to debauch the Democratic
voters and election ofiicers--a gross
slander on members of its own party,
whom it virtually brands as boodlers
and knaves.
This is the situation regarding the
national ticket and it has its uerfect
counterpart in the growing assurance
of a sweeping victory for the entire
Republican local ticket. We believe
that every man on that ticket is safe.
We believe that the size of the aver
age majority for that ticket will con-
stitute pleasing surprise to the most
sanguine Republican. The premonition
of magnificent triumph for straight
Republicanism from president to Jury
commissioner is in the air. We say
this in all sincerity and in all earnest
ness. The fight has been fought: the
nght has been won; all that remains is
for Republicans to stand firm and hold
1t.

OLYMPUS CLUB DIES.
Gradually Lessening Interest
and Lack of Money the
Causes.

The Olympus Club, an organization of
young men connected with the Greenville
Reformed Church, has departed this life.
Failure to pay dues and properly support
the organization is the cause assigned.
The announcement caused surprise, as it
was supposed that the club was propering.
The Olympus Club was organized last
September at the suggestion of the Rev.
Charles E. Allen, who is much interested
in the young men. It's object, as stated at
the time, was the promotion of social in
ance to the church.
The young men were enthusiastic at the
outset, and Immediately hired a club
house on Rose avenue, which was fitted
up regardless of expense. A football
team and bowling team were organized.
There was every indication of success,
until some of the members neglected to
pay Dues which marked the beginning of
the end.
Pastor Allen realizing the plight of the
club endeavored to instill new life into
the organization, but was unsuccessful.
When the club disbanded there were for
ty-five members on the roll The twelve
charter members state that they will
hold together and organize baseball
team.
Shortly after the Olympus Club organiz-
ed the young ladies of the church formed
the Unique Circle. They were going to
hold number of social events for the
benefit of the church, but only gave one.
The circle is still in existence.

FINANCIERS MEET.
Citizens Want Ferry Street
Widened--Routine Busi-
ness.

Previous to the meeting of the Board OF
Finance Yesterday afternoon the Commits
sioners listened to delegation OF citl-
zens led by Asemblyman Vollers and
Fred Mersheimer, who wish to have Ferry
street improved by widening it to width
of fifty feet. The visitors explained to
the Commissioners that the street was at
present only a small lane used by the
trolley company and no thoroughfare at
all. The cost Mr.. volers said would be
about s1S,OOO only about $4,000 of which
will fall upon the city.
The Commissioners were fearful lest the
city at large would have to bear the en-
tire expense of the improvement. and Mr..
vollers declared that the property own
ers were willing to pay their share OF
the expense.
That's always the way" said Mr.. Null
Inns. Whenever people come here asking
for improvements they are always willing
to pay and then when the improvement
is made no one wants to pay
Mr.. Vollers reiterated his statement that
the property owners were willing to pay
for the Improvement. Subsequently the
Board concluded to do nothing until they
had looked the ground over.
Edward Watson, of the Jersey City
Printing Company, appeared before the
Board and wanted to know" He said
that in June, 1891 his company made
contract with the then Board of Finance
to print a compilation of the laws rela-
tive to the charter of Jersey City, which
was to- be prepared by William p. Doug
lass. Mr. Douglass furnished copy for
only 220 pages, which were set up and are
now in type. The present Board had or
dered the Corporation Counsel to have
the work continued, and Mr.. Watson
wanted to know if his firm would be
given the printing of the new compilation.
He also incidentally asked for pay for
the go pages his firm had set up and
which were now useless.
He was told that he would get the
printing, but nothing definite was done
about the bill he rendered.
The Board ordered cancelled the sale
for taxes of property of Mrs. Susanna
Bugelle on Bostwick avenue. 1t was
shown that Mrs. Bugelle is the widow of
an honorably discharged soldier and en-
tilted to a tax exemption.
The assessment on lot No. 16, in Block
No. T20, on Booraem avenue for the inn
provement of the street was reduced
from s121.S5 to $4,000. This was done on
the recommendation of the Commission
ers of Assessment because no new flag
ging was laid in front of the premises as
the original assessment implied.

MRS. FLAM REBUKED.
Vice Chancellor Says She
Can't Persecute Her
Husband.

In the Court of Chancery yesterday Vice
Chancellor Stevens sat down heavily upon
Mrs. Mary Flam, who is suing her hus-
band for maintenance and support. He
informed Isaac Goldenhorn, her counsel,
that he could not be a party to her
persecution of her husband. Mrs. Flam
first sued her husband in New York and
the Supreme Court allowed her $40. week.
Soon afterward her husband bought
farm at Woodcliff, Bergen County, and
moved to this State and she began another
suit against him in this State. Upon rep
resnting to the court that her husband
was about to go to Puerto Rico, the Chan
cellor granted a writ of ne exeat, which
forbids him leaving the State. In her
petition Mrs Flam alleges cruelty and
neglect on the part of her husband. He
kept a dental establishment at No. l4l
Rivington street, New York. and she
assisted him The establishment paid $3.50
a week. In the spring of 1898 her husband
brought his brother Louis and his wife
to their home and Immediately began
to neglect her devoting all his attention to
Louis and his wife. When her husband
moved to the Bergen county farm, he
took Mr. and Mrs. Louis with him. Mrs
Flam declares that she was made the
drudge of the household. In October, 1888,
Mrs. Flam alleges, her husband told her
they had better separate and advised her
to go to the New York office and live by
herself. The cruel treatment consisted in
taking away her bed and bedcfothes, SO
that she had to sleep in the cold.
Mr.. Goldenhorn yesterday asked for a
postponement of the case. Mr.. F'lams
counsel objected and said that he had all
mis- witnesses there and was ready to go
on with the case. On several other occa-
sions he had brought his witnesses at a
large expense and he insisted on going on.
The Vice Chancellor said:-"Mrs. Flam
must not persecute her husband. Unless
her counsel brings me proof on April 10
that the New York suit has been dis
missed I will drop the suit in this State"
