TRIED TO DROWN HERSELF
Mrs. Livesey's Skirts Prevent
ed Her From Succeed
ing.

While the Erie Railroad ferryboat
Paterson was on it's way from Hoboken
to Twenty-third street yesterday after
noon woman who had been acting
queerly jumped overheard from the bow
Of the boat Pilot Wilson saw her Jump
and Immediately signalled for the engines
to be reversed
1t was the strong tide, however, that
saved the wuld-be suicide. She was car
ried away from the boat and being buoyed
up by her skirts she was reached with
boathook and with the assistance of sew
eral passengers was dragged on deck
She was unconscious then. When the
boat reached the slip she was taken to
the New York Hospital.
When she recovered insthe hospital sew
eral hours later the woman said she was
Elizabeth Lfvesey, of No. 26 Huron street,
Jersey City. Her husband. she said, was
a ticket collector at the Jersey City
ferryhouse of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
She refused to say why she had tried to
drown herself.

HOBOKEN'S STRIFE.
Election of Tuesday the
Most Interesting in
Years.
LANKERING'S APPOINTMENTS
Plenty of Guessing as to
the Offices to Be
Filled

1t has been many years since Hoboken
has had such an interesting election as
that which resulted in Democratic VIC
tory on Tuesday. James NJ. Seymour, the
Democratic candidate for Governor, re-
ceived the same majority in Hoboken as
Elvin w. Crane did two years ago. Mr..
Seymour's majority over Franklin Muir
ply, according to the figures in the office
of City Clerk John J. Haggerty, was 2,79
Had there not been any local strife Ho-
boken would have given Mr. Seymour
$500.
The majorit yof Mayor-elect Adolph
I.ankering over Frederick A. Verdon was
given out accurately this morning as 1,502
Gustav Bach, the Democratic candidate
for Water Registrar, made wonderful
run. He fell only 175 votes behind Mr..
Seymour in the city. James Smith, who
was reelected City Treasurer, also ran
well, notwithstanding the fact that his
old enemy. Mayor Lawrence Pagan, took
an active part in the campaign against
him. Mr.. Smith was but 355 votes behind
the head of his ticket.
There was some ealk this morning
about whom Mr.. Lankering would ap-
point as Police Commissioner. When he
becomes Mayor he will have two vacan-
Giles in the Board to fill. Albert Mohm-
king and John Bullwinkle have been
spoken of as those whom he will prob
ably select, but at present the matter
remains unsettled.

THE cHEERFuL's lDIoT's JOY
Mr.. Tagan's Election Calls Forth
Torrent of Words.

Jersey City, Nov. 6, 1901.
To the Editor of The Jersey City News
'"The Cheerful Idiot Speaks" Do you
remember placing that caption over a
letter written by me, about two weeks
for it was "such good reading you would
not extend the charity of the waste
basket to those effusions."
Then you said that "for stark, staring,
rank insanity that letter held the record
to date" Well, what do you think now?
s'The typical Pagan supporter" did the
trick, or at least aided in it, The refer
-ences to the feast of Belshazzar and the
intellect of the people was insanity, was
it? Ha! Hal The News is a grand
newspaper and always fair and just.
1 can honestly say to you, II told you
so,'' but at that time you were SO puffed
up with your own conceit you decided
that lunatics were fools. Oh, but you are
wise and the inspiration which you re-
ceive causes people to ask "Where does
he get it?''
1t is considered good form on an occa-
sion like this to sympathize with the
loser. So you have mine, but in future
when you see mules standing meekly,
who look as if the burden of the world
is on their backs. give a thought to it
that they might be kickers.
Will these few lines which were penned
merely to cause recollection grace the
columns of your paper?
Be just and give them space and wish
Mr.. Pagan Godspeed.

BILL BARRY HAPPY
His Aldermanic Aspirations Satis-
fed at Last.

The happiest man in the Second Ward
is William M. Barry. Years ago he tried
to get the nomination for Alderman in
his ward The Dennis Mclaughlin Asso-
citation. of which he was an ardent
member, didn't see fit to give it to him.
Bill was Democrat. He didn't sulk. He
didn't kick. AS an intelligent man he
bided his time. He knew it would come
sooner or later.
Behind him was an association COM
posed of his personal followers some five
hundred strong. This is independent of
the regular ward organization, and it
pays sick and mortuary funds, and the
last semi-annual statement of the audi
tors shows the association to be in an
extremely healthy condition.
Bills organization is composed of ath-
letes. He, himself was a member of
the Gaelic Athletic Association and a
member of the football team of that as
sociation that won the worlds champion
ship at the Worlds Fair at Chicago. This
is one of his proudest boasts, notwith-
standing he has become one of the most
popular cafe proprietors in the Horse
shoe'' He owns two of them.
His opponent received S27 votes in the
ward out of note of 1851, leaving him
a plurality of 1.740.

FRY TO SUCCEED WOOLLEY
Republicans Give Executive
Chairman the Credit.

Republicans generally are bestowing the
bulk of the credit for Tuesdays victory
on Chairman Edward Fry of the Execu-
tive Committee of the Count yCommlt-
tee. Chairman Fry's elevation to the
Craftsmanship of the County Committee
is certainty. He will be elected to sue
ceed Chairman Edward Woolley at the
annual meeting in January
Mr.. Fry Das taken an active interest in
the Republican work for several years.
His election to the craftsmanship of the
Executive Committee and then to place
on the State Committee were the first
steps to the position he is now to receive.
1t is doubtful il any of the leaders have
done any more work than Chairman Fry
has for his party. He reorganized the
Seventh ward when factional strifes had
split up the party. The alleged harmony
In the Ninth ward is due to his efforts and
the Eighth ward scraps are said to be at
an end owing to his work.
Chairman Fry will succeed Edward
Woolley in every particular as far as the
county work is concerned.

TWO MG|NTYS.
Each Went Searching for
the Others Moist, Uh-
pleasant Body.

Charles Anderson and Abraham Thomp-
son, labcrers employed by sanford &
Sfillman, went out in a rowboat In New
York Bay Monoay. They were both
drunk. The boat upset. Both came very
near being drowned. They were picked up
by a tugboat and landed in Staten Island.
They were separated before they got So
Der.
Each was under the impression that the
other was drowned. Each made his way
back to the point from which they start
ed to row.
Thompson, 1t appears, just felt sorry,
ana from the shore looked for Anderson 8
body. but not finding it gIoonily made his
way back to work. Anderson, however,
was more faithful to the memory of his
supposedly dead friend and he engaged q
rowboat and rowed to the point at which
he thought the boat had upset. He did not
wait to undress but jumped overheard and
began search for Thompson. He did no-
find the man, of course, and he returned
to shore. He made heroic efforts to drown
his sorrow in the flowing bowl and sue
ceeded to some extent.
His encounter with the bowl lasted until
yesterday morning when he again deter
ir.ined to rescue his friend and again went
to the place where the boat upset and
jumped over to look. Having no success
he decided 10 invoke the aid of the au-
thorities. and he reeled up Montgomery
street with the water dripping from his
clothes. Meeting Policeman Heath he

WILL REFORM GIRLS
Brooklyn Clergyman Takes Accused
Servant.

Helena Hartmann. a f1fteen-year-Old
girl, was arraigned before Recorder Stan
ton, in Hoboken, this morning, charged
with having stolen $40 from the home of
Otto Rauberheimer, at No. 1872 Willow
avenue, that city. The girl was employ
ed by Mr.. Rauberheimer as a servant In
less than twenty-four nours after she
took the position she disappeared with $40
of her employers money. She was ar
rested by Detective Fenton before she had
spent all of her booty.
Detective Fenton learned that the girl
came from Brooklyn. The Rev. Freder-
ick H. Basch, pastor of st. Johns Evan
gelical Lutheran Church of Brooklyn said
that the girl was formerly connected with
his church. Mr.. Bosch called at the Hobo
ken Police Court this morning and upon
talking with the girl induced her to prom
Use to reform. Mr.. Bosch said he would
see that the girl was placed in family
that would take an interest in her refor-
nation. He said that her conduct was
principally due to the fact that her par
ents had neglected her. Recorder Stanton
released the girl in Mr.. Bosch's custody.
