Very rapid progress is being made with
the new Commercial Trust Co.'S fine

There is a great deal of work to be
done on the inside, such as fitting and
finishing the offices. Applications for them
pour steadily in and when the building
will be opened on May l, nearly all of the
space will be let. These offices will be
elegantly finished and modern equipments

DEMAND BETTER PAY.
Plumbers Want $3.50 Day Instead
of $500

The union journeymen plumbers of
Jersey City will demand an increase from
So to $3.50 for days work, commencing
that conflict between employers and
employees will ensue. Heretofore all trade
grievances have been settled by an arbi-
tration committee, composed of members
of the Master Plumbers Association and
Plumbers Local Union No. IA. A year
ago, in response to the request of the
Master Plumbers, the Jersey City jour-
neymen postponed their demand for an
increase Of so cents day while the
North Hudson plumbers, who went out
on strike, compromised on S325 a day.
This has created considerable confusion
throughout the county, as North Hudson
plumbers working in Jersey City were
obliged to accept twenty-five cents day
less than was paid in their own juris-
diction, while employing plumbers in the
northern part of the county demurred
against paying Jersey City men more
than they would receive in their city
Some time ago the Jersey City plumb
ers asked for the appointment of the
usual conference committee to adjust the
difficulty, but no notice was paid to their
request by the Master Plumbers Asso-
citation. After waiting a reasonable
length of time Local IA resolved to ignore
the Master Plumbers Association and
notify all employing plumbers of their

ESSEX'S NEW DIVISION
Major Lentz Has Drawn the
Lines for Wards and
municipalities.
Especial to .-The Jersey city News.l

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News"l
NEWARK, Feb. %, 1901.-A new division
of wards and municipalities, 50 as to
make two Congressional districts in Es-
sex County, has been worked out by Ma
jor Carl Lentz, chairman of the RepubH-
can County Committee. The plan will be
submitted to Senator McCarter, the Es-
sex Assemblyman, Chairman Murphy, of
the State Republican Committee, and the
members of the County Committee, and
unless something better shall be suggest
ed, the majors apportionment will be ac-
cepted as the party organizations choice,
and embodied in the bill to be passed di-
viding the State in ten districts as pro-
vided by the Burleigh act.
In drawing his lines the Republican
county chairman has carved Essex about
as nearly in equal halves, SO far as popu-
lation is concerned, as it is possible to do
without splitting wards or municipalities.
According to his arrangement, one dis
trict would have 179, 4S3 population and the
other 179, ,636, a difference of only 2O3. The
estimated Republican majority varies but
seventy between the two, the larger hav-
ing S,17O on the returns of 1898 against 3, ,1O0
for the smaller district.
The First district includes the First,
Fourth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Eleventh
and Fifteenth wards of Newark, with
Orange, Bloomfield, Glen Ridge, Franklin.
Belleville, Montclair, West Orange, Walls
burgh, Verona and the Caldwells It's
population is 17s,433, with Republican
vote of 1925 and a Democratic one of
14,126
The Second District includes the
Second Third, Fifth and Ninth Wards of
Newark with Irvington, South Orange,
Millburn, Livingston and East Orange.
Its populations is 17s636 with RepubE-
can vote of 1855 and Democratic one
of 1885.
The provisions of the Burleigh act that
districts shall be made up of contiguous
property have bene adhered to in the di-
vision and the partisan end of the ar
rangement has been looked after by franz
ing each of the districts so that they may
be counted upon to return 5000 Republica
plurality under normal conditions

How Gold Was Found in Australia

The discovery OF the Australian gold
fields was in some instances not alto

their prosaic surroundings, perhaps in ne

as commonly told. 1t appears that
discerning youth of tender years picked
up a stone to throw at a COW (some say
crow,) and noticing that it contained
gold, reported the fact to the Warden"
This gentleman was so excited at the
news that he flashed the intelligence by
wire to the then Governor of the Colony,
informing him that a lad had picked up
stone, to throw at a crow-forgetting
to add that he had seen gold in it! The

JAHR OUT ON BAIL
One of the Quartette Indicted
for Insurance Fraud Still
in Jail.

DR.. Edward Jahr, the Union Hill physi-
clan who, with Undertaken William
Neckar and Thomas Kelly were indicted
by the Grand Jury on Wednesday. on a
charge of attempting to swindle the CO.
lonial Insurance Company was released
from Jail in $1,000 bail this morning. John
G. Friedler of No. SAG Lewis street quali-
fled as surety for DR.. Jahr.
Kelly, the agent of the insurance COM
pany, is still in jail, having been unable
to obtain bail. David Winston, the con-
sumptive whose life was insured, and
who was indicted as a party to the con-
spiracy, has disappeared.
Lawyer George Ryerson represented
DR.. Jahr in court this morning and AS
sistant Prosecutor Vickers appeared for
the State. When Mr.. Ryerson made the
bail, Justice Collins, who was sitting in
the Court of Oyer and Terminer, ex-
pressed doubt as to his authority to ac-
cept bail under the circumstances. His
belief was that such power had been
taken from him by a recent act of the
Legislature.
Lawyer Ryerson and Assistant Prose-
cutor Vickers found the authority in sec
ton Z, page S6S, of the laws of 1898, and
Mr.. Friedler qualified as bondsman.
1t is said that several more indictments,
in which employees are charged with con-
spring to defraud the Colonial Insurance
Company, will be presented by the Grand
Iury

CAMDEN CITIZENS ANGRY
Mass-Meeting Called to Protect
Against Anti-Sprinc Election,

CAMDEN, Feb %, 1901.-Never before
in the history of Camden has any politi-
cal scheme so aroused the indignation of
all fair-minded people as the Anti-Spring
Election bill, nor has measure planned
to save an unpopular cause ever become
such a surprising boomerang.
When it became known Thursday that
the Hatch Republicans, who concocted
the save Hatch rick had refused the
earnest solicitations of both Republicans
and non-partisan voters to agree to with
draw thier support from the measure,
former State Senator Maurice Rogers and
a number of other citizens of both parties
called for a mass meeting of the people
to be held in Temple Hall tomorrow night
for the purpose of denouncing the meas
ure.
AT the same time it is expected that res
olutions will be drawn up to present to
the Legislature at once showing the gross
injustice of the contemplated act
Quite number of influential taxpayers
called on Governor Voorhees, at Trenton
and plainly expressed themselves against
the bill.
