ENROLMENT FOR NEW PRIMARY.
Election Of Democratic Cou nty Com
nittee Man to Be Held Again,

Enrolment for the new primary ordered
by the Democratic County Committee to
decide the committeeman's fight in the
Fifth district of the Fourth ward, be-
tween Patrick Cauf cid and Henry Snyder,
was conducted in Lyceum Hall, Hoboken,
last evening A free fight broke up the
regular primary held in this district, and
in the melee the lights went out and the
ballot box disappeared. Each faction
blamed the other for the irregularity and
the County Committee decided that a new
primary in charge of uninterested off
GERS, would be the fairest way to settle
the dispute.
Caufield has represented the district for
several years past in the County Com
mittee. Snyder is a son of the former
Hoboken Councilman of that name. His
advent in politics is of recent date.

SYNOPSIS.
By c. N0LTE.

In 1895 the author. an officer in the Ger.
man army. was directed 10 proceed TO Fan,
zibar and organize an expedition and go to
that portion OF German East Africa known
as the Nasal SteppeS. for the purpose OF
establishing station and exploring the
country, with a view to its resources for
white settlement. The party went in there,
passed kilimanjarO. and located on the
Nasal Steppes south of the Meru Mount
ain.
One night nearly the whole station
burned down. | was just making my
nightly inspection before going TO rest, 10
see that everything was snug, when l saw
flames issuing from one of the grass huts
in the native quarter. There was strong
wind, and almost instantaneously every hut
was ablaZe. | rushed 10 the station. and it
was only by superhuman efforts that We
could save the large grass liuts that served
us as stores, meSsroom. barracks. etc.
This fire taught me Salutary lesson.
If the stores had caught fire, all our am
munitiOn and the bartering stock would
have been destroyed. and We would have
been at the mercy of the natives Next
morning | measured out the foundation for
a storehouse and had all hands set 10 work.

sent TO burn lime. while others Were sent

CAPTURE OF A RHINOCEROS.
Before going into the details of the seri-
Gus matters that happened later on 1 will
describe the capture of the second young
rhinoceros. The first one was very small,
and died after few days, as it evidently
had received some hurts in the capture.
