vOLK'S FEST GAMBLERS.
Sheriff Ruemplar Is Deter
mined to Drive Them
Out of the Park.

Sheriff Carl Reumpler has taken decisive
steps to break up the petty gambling
which heretofore have been an eyesore at
Union Hill Schuetzen Park. Much COM
plaint has been made each year OF these
petty swindlers who have preyed upon
the unwary and inveigled them into part
ing with their coin by their smooth and
oily talk. Slot machines, wheels of for
tune, sweat board, shell and various other
swindling games have been in full blast
at the park.
Sheriff Reumpled determined tnat this
scandal should cease this year and laid
his plans accordingly. On Sunday he sent
the gambling devices and to see that they
were not resumed. 1t was soon seen that
the force he sent on this errand was not
sufficient to carry out his orders The
constables would close up one of the gam
bling devices and as soon as their backs
were turned it would be in full blast
again. Yesterday the Sheriff. accompan-
led by Constables Egan, Stanton and Far
rell, went to the park and closed up every
gambling devise. He left the constables
in the park with orders to arrest every
person who operated a gambling devise
and to confiscate his machine. The Sher-
iff said that in case the slot machines con-
tnued in operation he would arrest the
owners if he could get at them.
Mr.. Reump1er consulted the Prosecutors
office and Assistant Prosecutor McYickers
promised to give him all the aid possible.

tions from corporations and other con-
Germs for leases of piers or wharf priyi-
leges. Some CT them may be allowed to

length from 200 to 24o feet. The estimat-
ed cost of this plan is s255, 900.

The things are the candidate for the

Many names have been mentioned.

The funeral of Erastus Lewis, better

morning The funeral was private Only

family attended, but large crowd gath

They We're members of the Jersey City

Undertaken George Brackner of Palis-

When he received the order Saturday
afternoon for a casket a serious problem
confronted him. He knew no other un-
dertaker in the city nor casket company
in the county or New York had casket
large enough for such a big man. Nor
were any patterns large enough to be
found with which to construct one that
would suit. The result was that machin-
cry had to be started up in the National
Casket Company's factory In Hoboken ON
Sunday, and several men put to work
saving and cutting patterns for the con-
struction of easket Of the desired size.
The casket having been secured the
next problem that confronted the under
taker was to secure a hearse large
enough to receive the big casket. Not oue

Mr. Brackner, after telephoning all over
New York finally found one used by an

FUMIGATINe THE CARS
Prompt Action of the North Jersey
Co. to Prevent Contagion.

Orders were this morning given to the
employees at the several car stables of the
North Jersey Street Railway Company TO
fumigate the cars every twenty-four
hours. The company in view of the exist
ence of contagious diseases in this and
Essex counties resolved to take these pre-
cautions and formaldehyde gas from
generators is being used. The fumigating
process will take place in the sheds where
the cars are stalled.
The cars running through Kearny and
East Newark have been subjected to
fumigation since the smallpox cases over
the river became frequent. But after
consultation with the Board of Health
here the street railway people agreed
voluntarily to fumigate every car in the
city once a day.
Health Officer Chandler of Newark at
once commended this plan and gave in
structions so that the work could be ac-
complished most thoroughly. The formal
dehyde gas is used for disinfecting pur-
poses by the Board of Health, and is said
to destroy all germs.

STRIKERS MAY PICKET MILLS

Especial to ''The Jersey City News.C
PATERSON, Aug. 20. 1901-Labor won
a victory here last night. The Board OF
Aldermen by unanimous vote passed a
supplement to the vice and immortality
ordinance making the picketing of mills
by labor unions allowable.
The Council chamber was jarnmed
with weavers, who for three weeks have
been visiting Aldermen and exacting
promises to vote for the amendment The
action was brought about by Recorder
Senior sentencing two men to jail who
were picketing mill and lnolesting no
one These two fnen-George Heald and
Samuel Hart-are still in Jail.
The victory was gained by the two
men sacrificing themselves, their wives
and children by remaining in jail, on the
principle that the best way to kill an un-
just law is to enforce it. Their iInprison-
ment had such influence that no alder
man cared to vote against the amend
ment.
