CONTESTS IN ESSEX COUNTY.
Senator Martin Wants Renoni-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Is Fighting Him.

Especial to 'tThe Jersey City News."l
DECKERTOWN, Aug 25, 1900-Politfcs
are beginning TO move in Sussex county
and already there are signs of two brisk
contests in the Democratic party which
may develop proportions sufficient to
give the Republicans a victory at the
polls. The county elects an Assemblyman
and a Senator this fall and there are two
Democrats out for each nomination
The men who would like to be norni-
mated for Assemblyman are Archibald e.
Mcbride and James L. De Witt, both of
this place. Mr.. Mcbride is a college man
and is the son of ex-senator John A Nc
Bride, and his friends naturally expect
that he will have the benefit of his IA
theirs popularity. Mr.. De Witt is an
older man and has a long record of SER
vices to the county Democracy Many of
the prominent Democrats of this county
will find themselves embarrassed in max
ing the choice and most Of them hope
that the contest may be amicably settled
before convention time.
For the Senatorship lewis s. Martin,
who holds the office at present, is can
didate for denomination. He announced
himself at the Farmers picnic at Lake
GrinneIl last week 1t is also said that
Jacob Swarthout. though he has made no
formal announcement of his candidacy,
will ask for the votes of his friends in
convention. He has run against Judge
Martin before. Judge Martins friends
say that the Senator, when he made his
announcement, was of the belief that Mr..
Swarthout did not intend to run.

seldom that do not find Christ Hos

"Come to think of it you're about right.
I have often wondered who the cripples

On the car was man who fell from a.
three-story building in New York some
weeks ago. One of his legs was badly in
jured and he had to rest one on seat,
while he held his crutches in his hands.
His wife was with him. and the few
passengers aboard looked on sympatheti-
cally. The man on former trip told the
conductor that he had tried several hos

obtain the same relief as that which he
experiences after visit to Christ Hos

Objects to Ten Per Cent In

Commissioner Mclean Elk
plains That Jersey City
Was Paying Too
Much.
OTHER TOWNSHIPS THREATEN

counsellor Emil Walscheid, who is ths
legal representative of the Township of
North Bergen, was at the office of Clerk
James E. Connolly. of the County Board
for the Equalization of Taxes, this morn
ing and asked to inspect the minutes of
the Board of August last.
Mr.. Walscheid made an extract of the
minute of the Board which authorized the
increase in the assessors assessments of
property in certain townships. for the pur-
pose it is understood of either making az
appeal to the State Board of Taxation, or,
if he 30 choose, taking the question to
the Supreme Court for review.
The increases authorized by the minute
were:-North Bergen. 10 per cent; Gutten-
berg, s; Weehawken, %; West Hoboken.
IT; West New York, 20; Town of Union,
10; Hoboken, ~
The good people of the Township of
North Bergen when they heard the news
at once proceeded to fill the air with
lamentations, and if report be true, those
of other townships, such as Weehawken,
West Hoboken and West New York, are to
follow suit
The Commissioners in making this in
crease gave as their reason that these
townships were not paying their full
share
Jersey City, you know. as Commits
sioner Alexander Mclean explained it tos
day, pays half of the ratables and when
jersey City gets more than its share, why
some other place is not paying it due
quota. Taking the percentages of the
townships, we arrived at the decision tha.
the increase complained of must be

SUIT OVER PIER FEES.
Atlantic City Amusement Company
Accused OF Breaking an Agreement
Especial to The Jersey city News."1

Especial to THE Jersey City News."l
TRENTON. Aug. 25, 1sO0.-Suit was COM
menced in the Court of Chancery yester-
day by the Mayor and Common Council
of Atlantic City, through the law firm of
Godfrey & Godfrey. against the Young
AfeShea Amusement Company, of the
same city, to compel the company to de-
sist from the practice of charging more
than one admission fee on its pier.
The bill sets forth that on April 5. 1896,
the Young-McShea Amusement Company
decided to Atlantic City a strip of land on
the ocean front for the purpose of build
ing public boardwalk, and that the
Young-Mcshea Amusement Company
owns and conducts a pier erected on the
oceanward side OF this land and extend
ing about 1900 feet into the ocean. The
pier is connected with the boardwalk.
The charge is made that the amuse-
ment company, in direct violation of the
agreement entered into at the time the
conveyance was made. charges an admit
tance fee at the entrance of the PIER
There are on this pier, it is charged in the
bill, superstructures, buildings and audi
ence rooms in which are conducted
various kinds of entertainments and an
admission fee is charged to each one of
these in excess of that charged at the en-
trance gate and there are reserved seats
set apart for which an extra amount is
charged. In addition to this an extra fee
is charged for seats of all kinds in all the
rooms and buildings.
The prosecution claims that the amuse-
menu company has no right to charge
any more than one admittance fee to the
pier. nor has it the right to sell any ar
ticle on the pier or TO give away any
article of food and take purchasing or
ders for the same.
The suit is brought in the nature of
rule to show cause why the Young-Mc-
Shea Amusement Company should not
be restrained from charging other than
one admittance fee to the pier.
