GETTING TO WORK
Democratic State Committee
Will Meet on Wednesday.


Both political parties of New Jersey are
girding on their armour preparatory to
the fall campaign, and already the pre-
liminary skirmishing over the nomination
of candidates is well under way. AS the
convention season approaches the situa-
tion becomes more interesting almost
daily, and some vigorous fights are al
ready in sight.
The Democratic campaign will be for
mally opened next Wednesday, when the
State Committee will meet at the Cole
man House, Asbury Park, in response
to a call issued by Chairman William B..
Gourley.
The meeting Is called to fix the date for
the Democratic State Convention, which
will be held in this city probably Wednes-
day, September is.
Usually 1t is customary to let the party
controlling the administration hold its
convention first, but the evident intention
Of the Republicans to make their conven-
tion date as late as possible, makes it not
unlikely that the practice will be departed
from this year.
While the leaders of both parties have
declared in favor of a short whirlwind
campaign, it is deemed inexpedient by the
Democrats to leave the making Of nomi-
nations too late.

NO FORGIVENESS FROM PARENTS
They Side With Daughters Tilted
Lover.

The announcement of the marriage of
Miss Gussie Johnson, of No. 27S Second
street, to Henry E. Kleinhaus. of Brook
lyn, at the Fourth M. E. Church, New
York. on Wednesday last, has caused
quite a stir in the circle in which Miss
Johnson moved. The brides parents were
totally ignorant of her intended par-
riage and they say emphatically that they
do not intend to forgive her. The reason
for their anger, they say, is the fact that
she was already engaged to Ernest Cfough
of Hoboken, when she met Klainhaus,
who had just returned from the Philip
pines, but forgetting all about her en-
gagement was married to him.
Mrs. johnson, the brides mother, tells
the story of her daughters fickleness and
says that she kept company with Klein
haus until he enlisted in the navy. Then
Claugh became the favorite and they were
engaged. But Kleinhaus returned, the
old affection was revived, and the mar
riage notice was the climax. Mrs. john
son says decidedly that Mr.. Clough was
a nice young man. She added:
"He and Gussie were 10 have been mar
ried next month and all arrangements
were made for the ceremony. 1 don't
know why Guese should do such think
as she apparently loved him truly. Her
husband is a brave young man and sup
pose will make her a good husband. He
kept company with Gussie before he en-
listed in the navy and we did not know
that he had returned Poor Mr. Clough
feels it keenly."

PATERSON Aug. 10, 1901.-After living
alone for more than sixty-seven years
Justice of the Peace Dimond, a veteran
of the Civil War, was married to Mrs
Hattie J. Hurlburt Saturday night. The
bride is fifty-three years old and has been
a professional nurse since the death OF
her husband twenty-three years ago.
Justice Dimond was consulted some time
ago by a client who thought that he had
been swindled into paying for matri-
.monial advertisement which brought him
no return. The Justice looked into the
method of matrimonial agencies and de-
cided to try one himself; Mrs. Hurlburt
at that time had a patient who for di-
version sent her name to the same agency.
Mrs Hurlburt saw some of the letters
and liking the style wrote to their author.
The wedding on Saturday was the result.

ONE THEORY EXPLODED
Warm Weather Has Produced
Less Crime in This
County.

The theory of criminologists that there
is greater prevalence of crime, especial
ly manslaughter, murder and suicide, in
summer than during any other season of
the year. seems to be exploded, at least
as far as this county is concerned, by the
criminal statistics of the present season.
For the first time in many years there
is not a single prisoner now in the County
Jail charged with either murder or man
slaughter and it is now nearly two
months since there was one held there
for either of these crimes. The last was
Robert Decker, the railroad detective.
who shot boy in Hoboken and was re-
leased ON bail by Judge Blair on June
20 last.
There are now only 2O6 prisoners in the
County Jail, 70 less than at this time last
year, and the smallest number confined
there in long time.
The penitentiary statistics show the
same surprising falling off in the number
of offenders against the law. There are
scarcely enough women prisoners now at
Snake Hill to do the usual routine of
work expected of them and those of that
sex unfortunate enough to be there are
more than earning their board.
Nearly all the prisoners in both insti-
tlltions are for minor infractions of the
law, a majority for drunkenness or
offences resulting from such a condition.
Warden Sullivan of the County Jail and
Warden Grimes of the Penitentiary can
offer no explanation for this unexpected
and most unusual wave of morality that
has wept over the county. Both are won
dering how long it will continue.
The number of suicides, too, considering
the season, is remarkable small The
county health authorities generally look
for an increase in the death rate from
cases of self-destruction during the sum
mer months, but from the returns for
the month thus far received the indica-
tfons are that there will be fewer suicides
this month than in any preceding August
for many years.
This condition certainly furnished food
for reflection for criminologists.

Bic ROAD DAMAGE
Yesterdays Storm Plays
Havoc With the County
Boulevard.
TOP WASHED AWAY
Will Cost Thousands to
Put It In Proper
Condition.

The storm of yesterday wrought sad
havoc with the Boulevard and again
demonstrated the need of proper sewerage
facilities for the county's big driveway.
The road, especially in the northern sec
ton, had just been put in repair and near
ly all the evidences of the last severe
rain were removed, when yesterday .
downpour again washed away the top
dressing and left the road in an almos<
impossible condition in places.
1t win take several thousand dollars to
repair the damage done, and the question
of whether it would not be more econ
omical to provide proper sewerage sys-
tenn than to go to this expense after
every storm should suggest itself too the
Freeholders in making their next appro-
piation for the Boulevard Commission
ers.
The section of the road north of New
ark avenue, where there are many uIl-
improved abutting streets, is particularly
deplorable. Tons Of top dressing have
been washed down the streets sloping to
the west, while its place has been taken
by vast quantities of dirt carried by the
rain from The streets that incline to the
Boulevard on the east.
Superintendent Michael j.. Coyle, who
was in a particularly happy mood over
the dispatch with which the damage done
by the last heavy storm had been re-
paired, was sad man this morning after
he had made an inspection of the road.
'It is discouraging," said the Superin-
tendent. 1--WE scarcely have the road in
proper condition when another storm de-
stroys all the evidences of our work. The
amount of money already spent for such
repairs would go far towards putting the
road in a condition that would prevent
the recurrence of these washouts and it
should be done as soon as possible. AS
the road is at present nothing can be
done but repair it in the same manner
and trust to Providence thai it will last
as long as possible

sible. for them all to get inside of the
building and hundreds stood upon the
stoops in the rain while the Monsignor
gave the benediction, assisted by the Rev
Father Sciolla. AT the conclusion of the
benediction the Bishop made short ad-
dress in Italian, in which he gave his fel-
low countrymen some good advice as to
how they should attend to their church
duties. He spoke words of praise for
America, and thanked all present for their
grand reception.
The Bishop was then escorted to the
rectory of the church, where a large num-
ber of local clergymen greeted him and
the Rev. Father Sciolla rendered him
reception.
The Bishop is So years of age and his
popularity and what esteem his people
hold him in can be seen by the fact that
on the completion of his silver jubilee
