Andrews Says That's Why He's a
Republican.

The Fifth Ward Republican Club of
Hoboken, held it's third annual Lincoln
Dal banquet last evening in Meyer S
Hotel. Covers were laid for sixty and the
menu was discussed to the accompani-
ment of airs furnished by an orchestra
concealed behind palms. Revenue Col
lector Jacob Strauss was postmaster.

Hoboken; "a Ramble Through Hoboken
in 1862" by A. de Bonneville, of New
York; "Our Toastmaster,' by John
Bechtold of Hoboken.
Mr.. Andrews said he was Republican
because his father had advised him when
a boy to always take chances and fight
for the interests of the under dog. The
upper dog, the Democratic party, had
enough friends, the elder Andrews
thought. In looking after the under dog
the G. o. P. was doing heroic work, the
speaker said. The majority may rule in
politics. but the majority do not always
represent the best that is in politics, he
thought.

President Geo. T. Perkins in welcoming
the guests maue short but gracefully
worded speech. He drew attention to the
fact that the association had for thirty
years celebrated the birthday of Lincoln
whose lowly birth and wonderful career
made him perhaps the most prominent
figure in American history. Continuing,
he said
We are met tonight to celebrate the
coming into the world of our great Amer
ican, Abraham Lincoln, the man whose
lowly birth and humble surroundings
served only to develop his inherent great
ness There are few men in all history
who offer so inspiring an example; GER
tainly none whom we so delight to
honor. Some, one has said, Fiction can
furnish no match for the romance of his
life, and biography will be searched in
vain for such startling vicissitudes out of
such humble beginnings and adverse cir
cumstances'
We consider ourselves most fortunate
in having with us tonight such able and
noted men to tell US once more the story
we never tire Of hearing, how our Hero
President climbed the successive steps to
the highest place III our InnSl.

THE ARLINGTON TURNPIKE
Committee Appointed to See About
Euying II.

Director Michael B. Holmes, in con-
formity with resolution passed at the
last meeting of the Board of Freeholders
appointed Freeholders Finke Ellington
and Nolan a committee to inquire into
the advisability of the county acquiring
by purchase the Arlington Turnpike, an
old road extending in a northwesterly
direction from the Newark Turnpike to
the Belleville bridge. Under an act passed
in 1888 the late Supreme Court Justice
Manning M. Knapp appointed commits
sioners to fix the price be paid by the
county for the road. The report of this
commission making an award of $1,000 to
the trustees of the Turnpike Company was
filed at the time. but the Board of Free
holders has hitherto taken no step to
acquire the road.
The Arlington Turnpike is about four
miles long. 1t is an anti-revolutionary
corduroy road with a good foundation,
but no repairs have been made to it in
many years. At one time it was proposed
to make the road portion of the pro-
posed Western Boulevard, connecting the
West Hudson municipalities with the
main Boulevard.

NORTHGERMAN LLOYD BILLS
Mr.. Marks Introduces Them
Talk of Mystery.

Especial to ."The Jersey City News.'')
TRENTON, Feb. 19, 190L-The House
held a short session and passed a num-
Der of bills. One provides that when the
court shall appoint counsel to defend a
prisoner accused of murder, the defend
ant shall select his own counsel. Another
authorizes purchase of addition land
for the soldiers home at Kearny.
Mr. Marks's three bills. which it is
said were introduced to remove any
doubts there may be as to the legally of
the grant to the North German Lloyd
Steamship Company of additional water
front, came up and at the request of Mr..
Fallon were laid over. Many think there
is some mystery about the bills because
two of them authorized the city of Ho-
boken to vacate streets and it is said
that the Steamship Company wants sec
ton of Third street vacated.

vERDON'S EMPTY HONOR.
Hoboken Republicans Meet
and Decide to Offer Him the
MayoraIty Nomination.

There was small and informal meet
ing of certain Hoboken Republican poll
ticians last night, and, for many good rea-
sons their names and the place where
they met must not be mentioned. The
main thing was that they were consider
ing the candidate of their party for
Mayor.
A certain ex-Freeholder, Mr.. Verdon,
had many adherents present, and, al
though some of the party urged the nom
ination of ex-senator William s. Stuhr,
yet Mr.. Verdons friends carried the
night and it was agreed that if Mr.. Yer
don would accept, the empty honor would
be his.
Around at cigar store on Newark
street the news was quickly received,
and then there was rejoicing and orders

AS for Senator Stuhr, he merely

JERSEYS HARBoRs
Senate COMMITTEES Cuts Appropri-
atio.s Along the Line.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13, 19O1-The SEN
ate Committee on Commerce, which has
the river and harbor bill under considera-
tion, is making its sessions as secret as
were those of the House Committee, but
it has leaked out that very serious cuts
are being made along the whole line. The
attacks are not confined to the cash ap-
propriations, but include the continuing
contracts as well.
1t cannot be learned whether any of the
New Jersey items have been cut, be-
cause the members OF the Senate and
House who have been invited to appear
before the Commerce Committee says
their lips are sealed and they cannot talk
of what they there learned. From other
sources, however, 1t is learned on the best
of authority that the items in the bill are
being greatly cut in amount, although it
is not probable that any of them are
taken absolutely out of the bill, unless at
New York, which called for 81, 900 900.
1t is known, for instance, that the item
for improving Niagara River has been re-
duced nearly s600,O00 and that the item
for improving the harbor at Buffalo is re-
duced from 100000 to less than 5000 600
If other cuts are in proportion, and they
probably are, it will materially affect the
New Jersey items. 1t is said that up to
the present time the committee has only
gone over about half the bill and yet,
with all the cuts, enough Senate items
have been added SO that the bill now to-
tails about S79, ,000 600, while it only car
ried about S60,000 900 when it passed the
House. Grave doubts are now express
81 about the bill being reported al all by
the committee and strong fears are be-
Ing expressed that if reported and passed
Il viii be vetoed because of the enormous
appropriation it will carry.

DECKERS KEEP THEIR WORD
Decide for Precinct Primaries
Even Though 1t Help
the Ring.

The Deckerites assumed full charge of
the Eighth ward, Monday night, when
special meeting of the Ward Association
was held in the Decker rooms. 1t was a
sight for the gods to see former leader
John H. Weastell and a few of his
adherents making tracks for the meet
ing room by circuitous route. Johnny
had very little to say. He unwiilingly ac-
cepted any concessions advanced by The
opposing faction. An election officer was
given to the machine in each of the ten
districts, just to show that there was mo
hard feeling
Chairman Decker presided. The mem
bers were out in force. AT the outset
it became apparent that the Deckerites
intended to stick by their promise to hold
precinct primaries. This idea has been
paramount in their minds for several
years, but owing to Influence over which
they had no CONTROL" precinct primaries
were not held. The factional fights were
always waged on these lines. Finally the
anti-ringsters won out. Having succeeded
in capturing the ward and all the power
attached thereto, it naturally behooved
the new leaders to remain faithful to
former promises.
Last night Secretary George w. Robert
son offered two resolutions establishing
separate primaries and polling places and
naming the election officers for each
place. When the secretary remarked that
the ring people would be allowed one e!ec-
ton officer for each precinct, John H.
Weastell came forward with a neatly
written list of these he desired to place.
President Decker referred to the separ-
ate precinct matter again, telling the
members that the controlling body would
stick to former promises regarding this
matter-and run the ward in a thoroughly
respectable and satisfactory manner. He
said it was the wish of the good Republic
cans of the ward that district primaries
should be held and that their wishes
would be observed for all time.
There is no doubt that the separate
primaries will greatly benefit the ring peo-
pie at present. 1t is a settled fact that
Weastell and his followers can carry sew
eral of the precincts and this will allow
the machine to elect delegates in opposi-
tion to the Deckerites.

HORSES FOR BOLOGNA.
Factory in North Bergen
Seized By the Police.

Three attachments were yesterday
sworn out before Recorder Hagermann
against the North Bergen Horse Meat
and Bologna Company. concern which
has recently located opposite the old Gut
tenberg race track, in North Bergen.
On investigation the Recorder found
that the company. through the firm of
Hart & Mclaughlin, had secured a Ii
cense from the Health Board of Bergen.
He discovered that twenty horses were
quartered in the old stable and that they
were being put to death and their meat
stored in sugar barrels for shipment. He
questioned half dozen men employed in
the work, who said that the meat was
to be shipped to Germany.
ST found that this was impossible"
said Judge Hagermann This meat
could not go abroad in the cheap bar
rels in which it was packed, and noti-
fed Col. Murphy, President of the New
York Board of Health, telling him that
in my opinion the meat would be taken
to New York and disposed of to east
side butchers.
'You cannot imagine a more horrible
lot of animals said Recorder Hager-
mann, who was accompanied in his
search by Health Inspectors Romaine
and Betz, of New York. when I got
to the stable 1 found many of the ami
mails slaughtered.
ION Sunday night, when six more
horses were being taken to the stable, L
interfered."
The last of the horses in the stable was
killed yesterday.
''They pushed the old horse out to the
slaughter-room,' said Recorder Hager-
mann. ''The horse was too weak to
raise his head.
Hardly had the last horse been
slaughtered than the three attachments
came in against the company. 1 grant
ed the writs at once and sent Police
men Bradv, Skinner and Gutenberg to
seize the property. We attached all the
machinery and have hauled it off. But
the stripping of the bones continues and
the meat is being packed into the sugar
barrels If an attempt is made by the
employees of the company to carry this
meat out of the State we will arrest
them. Two Health Board inspectors are
here from New York and one detective
from the New Jersey State Board of
Health. There is no possible chance for
the meat to cross the North River.
''This concern will have to move from
here at once. The company formerly
operated in Kearny, but left and found
a home here through the courtesy of the
County Board of Health, which granted
the license. When warm weather comes
the conditions there will be terrible 1
have not been able as yet to find any
member of the firm. The workmen say
they have not been paid"
When a reporter called at the stable
yesterday afternoon he found the men at
work

noon were why l am a Prohhibitionist,' -
and How Can We Advance Our Cause?''
The Rev. j. G. Allen of the Bergen Bap-
tist Church, led the devotional services

of the church, the Rev. Arthur N.
Thompson, D. D., delivered the address of
welcome. Addresses were delivered in the
afternoon by the Rev G.. C. Wilding,
pastor of Hedding Methodist Church. and
Mrs. George R. Scott editor of ''The New
York Witness"
At sexen o'clock the ladies of the church
served banquet to the pastors and other
members in the large Sunday school. The
Rev. j. A. Owens presided as toastmas-
ter. He delivered a happy address on as

After Pastor Swaffields eulogy of Presi-
dent Lincoln, the Rev. James Parker,

Christian had hard battle to fight in the
political field, but he felt that the Chris
tian's influence in trying to cleanse poll
tics was very great.
The Rev. Conrad Bhuhm spoke on 'The
Empty Canteens" He advocated the
abolition of the army canteen and said
that Congress should dispose of the mat
