MANY MEETINGS HELD

The Third Ward Democratic Club was
addressed at last nights meeting by
Mayoraity candidate George T. Smith
That Mr.. Smith received an ovation Is
putting it mildly. He struck a. responsive
chord when he said he had lived there
formerly for fifteen years and saw bur
few strange faces in the audience.
Ex-Director OF the Board of Freeholders
Frank McNally presided. Prominent
speakers addressed the audience which
was enthusiastically Democratic.
Mr.. Smith said he came there to renew
DID acquaintance. He said he had been
Democratic worker ali his life. He said
that he would always work for Demo-
cratic success. Mr. Smith eulogized the
character of Democratic Gubernatoriai
candidate James Seymour and predicted
his election.
Eugene v. Leake followed in a discus
zion of local and State issues.
Alexander Roe, candidate for Alderman

Portraits of the next Governor of New
Jersey were received at the Democratic
State Committee rooms in the Hotel
Naar has been busy all day sending them
out to the various members of the State
Committee. The portraits are splendid
specimens of the best art of the ntho-
grapher and are excellent likenesses Of
Mayor James M. Seymour Of Newark.
Among the callers at headquarters to-
day was ex-Assemblyman Jacob Klotz of
Somerset. Mr.. Klotz says his county is
in excellent shape and will give a plu-
rality for Seymour and elect the entire
Democratic county ticket.
In the last ten years the Democrats
have only elected one official, but the Re-
publicans have always succeeded by a
very narrow margin when everything Is
most harmonious in their party. But this
year they are soresy rent asunder by a
factional fight similar TO that which is
playing the mischief with the party in
Union county. The friends of ex-Clerk in

Recorder Edward r. Stanton, of Hobo
ken, had no idea until this morning how
very popular he was in that order of So
ciety whose members are never sober ex-
cepting when they are in the county jail
or on the county farm. The Recorder
learned that the members Of the society
throughout the county had concluded 10

He felt that Recorder Lazarus of Bayonne
and Police Justices Murphy and Hoos Of
this city should not be deprived Of their
due so he took immediate steps to dis

number Of lawyers who had cases
listed for trial in the Supreme Court this
morning but who failed to put In an APP
pearance, believing that the first case on
the list would occupy the time Of the
Court for the entire day. were given an
object lesson as to how Justice Collins
believes the business of the court should
be conducted. Incidentally an interesting
legal point was raised by ex-senator Will
liam D. Edwards
The first case on the list was the suit
Of William s. Luckey against George A.
Sofield, trunk manufacturer, doing busi-
ness on Montgomery street, this city, for
damages for injuries received while at
work in the factory Of the defendant.
Grouse & Perkins represented the plain
tiff, while Wallis. Edwards & Bumsted
appeared for the defendant.
From the evidence of the plaintiffs $ wit
ness it appeared that Luckey, who
was carpenter by trade, and nephew
of the defendant, was employed in his
uncle's trunk factory One day in April
of last year while at work on a circular
saw he lost two fingers of his left hand
through the shifting Of a belt The cross
examination disclosed that s1uckey con-
tinued to work at the same saw and with
the same belt for about year when he
was discharged for some cause and inn
mediately brought suit for damages for
his injuries.
Luckey admitted that he knew the
saw was dangerous and that he used it
at a risk. He said he had told his uncle
that the belt was in bad condition and
dangerous, but no effort was made to put

CIGAR BUTT ORDINANCE
Health Board Prohibits the
Sewer Industry.

The Board of Health met last night in
the First Criminal Court room and after
taking final action on the nuisance exist
ing at the plant of the Uvalde Asphalt
Company. at the foot of Greene street.
passed an ordinance in accordance with
President McGill's ideas concerning the
gathering of cigar and cigarette butts and
their use in the manufacture OF cigars and
cigarettes. Inspector Benjamin reported
to the Board that he and DIR. Edward
Hart had made an investigation of the
Uvalde plant and had decided that the
spreading of dust over the immediate VIZ
cinity caused the nuisance so long conn
planned of by the residents thereabouts.
He explained that the company had failed
to fulfill numerous promises made to
abate the nuisance and recommended that
the plant be ordered closed pending the
completion of the necessary improvement.
The inspectors report was accepted and a
resolution embodying his suggestions
passed. The plant is not running today,
the police having notified the managers
early this morning of she action by the
Roard of Health and their determination
to carry out the resolution adopted The
improvements will be begun as soon as
possible, and there is hope that the works
will be in full operation in a few days
or week at the utmost.
The Board then took up the question Of
the picking of cigar and cigarette butts.
and passed resolution which, as is the
custom in such cases, will not be in force
until after it is again read at the next
meeting. No remarks were made by any
member of the Board on the subject. The
resolution was sprung and carried as If
it had been previously discussed and ac
cepted. 1t was:-
Rule and regulation of the Board Of
Health concerning the gathering and
use of cigar and cigarette stumps.

BY the financial condition Of the city. He
insisted that there had not been the
slightest desire on the part of any men-
Der Of the Board to spite anybody. It
had been intimated, he said that there
was an effort to spite someone connected
with the city government who was par
ticulariy anxious to attain that end. This,
said Mr. Midlige, was false. The Board
stood as a unit IN favor Of the erection OF
new No. School
Commissioner Mullins said that If any
one had been retarding the building of a
new No, Q School it was some Of the
Third warders themselves. He said he
had beef asked by his colleagues to get
some figures as to the costSofa site. Mrs
Baker refused to set ak5ce upon her

$500 for one lot and $4,000 for another;
Charles Allen wouldn't fix any price and
John and Mary Farrell wanted 5000 for
their property. The Board. said Mr.
Mullins, was asked to pay 81 400 for less
than half Of one Of the sites suggested.

straight ticket from Governor down and
allow no one to induce them to vote for
a single Republican
Mr. Queen said he was thoroughly con-
WINGED that the normal Democratic ma
jority in the county would be doubled on
election day. He denied the charge of
Republicans that the recent Democratic
State Convention was not harmonious.
The delegates, he said, Were simply per-
mitted to express their sentiments. This
was never permitted at Republican con-
gentions the secretary, and not the dele
gates being empowered to cast the vote.
