This concluded the inspection and the
representatives of the fire underwriters
expressed themselves as well plased with
it. They made several minor recommen-
dations that will tend to improve the fire
fighting facilities, such as the placing of
additional fire plugs at certain places and
the drilling Of the attaches Of the differ
ent Institutions Otherwise ii was con-
ceded that Hudson county's institutions
were now as well protected from fire as
any in the country.
: For this result no one is entitled to
more credit than Freeholder Patrick Nu-
gent OF Bayonne, who fathered the plan
for adequate fire protection in the board
and was chairman of the committee un-
der whose supervision the plant was con-
strucied. His associates on the committee
were Freeholders James ]. Kelly and
James Ellington, who also worked inde-
fatigably to bring about the result OBJ
tanned. In this they had the hearty sup
port of Director Michael Holmes and the
other members of the board. County
Superintendent c. P. Smith supervised the
entire work.
Eighteen additional fire plugs have been
placed at different points on the hill and
more will be added from time to time.
Fire companies composed of the em-
ployes of the different institutions with
the wardens as captains will be at once
organized and drilled and the plant made
as efficient as possible.
Fifteen years ago the only protection
against fire at any of the county insti-
tutions was an occasional pail. sometimes
without water, placed at different points
in the buildings, and the garden hose
used at the place. About that time the
agitation over the dangers from fire re-
suited in the then Board of F'reeholders
purchasing, at high figure, an old fire
engine that had been discarded by Jersey
City. For several years this useless or
nalnent occupied a frame building, erect
ed for it, adjoining the Almshouse. There
were no horses and no possible way of
getting it up the hill to the Asylum or
down the hill to the Penitentiary should
a fire oceurr at E1ener of those institu-
tions. Later 1t was sold for old junk.
Then began the system of providing fire
fighting facilities which had its culmina-
tion in the present efficient plant. WILL
lam George Nelson, then a member of the
Board of Freeholders, who was present
yesterday as a representative of the in
surance company, had much to do with
starting the ball a-rolling originally.

NEWARK, Sept. 28, 1901. The hercest
fight in the history of the Democracy Of
Essex was waged throughout this city
last night It might properly be called
the opening battle for the fight will be
renewed in Trenton next week. Primaries
were held throughout the county for the
election of delegates to the convention
which win nominate a Governor at Tren-
ton next week. Two tickets were in the
field, one in favor of the nomination OF
Mayor James M. Seymour Of this city
for Governor and the other for anyone
to beat Seymour. The Seymour ticket
was adorned with a portrait Of the Mayor
and read For Governor, James M. Sey-
mour. Except in two wards there was
no gubernatorial candidate on the oppo-
sition ballot. The exceptions were in the
Eighth ward where the tickets bore the
name of Judge Child, and in the Eleventh,
where ex-senator Smith headed the bal
lot The Seymour forces were led by
Colonel e. Livingston Price and ex-Sena-
tor James Smith directed the anti-Sey-
mour forces through James r. Nugent
the chairman of the County COMMITTEES
The machinery of the election was en-
tirely in the hands of the County Com
nittee and they resorted to all sorts of
questionable means to encompass the de-
feat of the Seymour delegates. Ballot
box stuffing and repeating were resorted
to with brazen effrontery and little at
tempt at secrecy. Polling places were
changed at the last minute and the new
location made known only to the anti

NEWLY OPENED INDIAN LAND.
Crop Conditions There Are Similar to
Those In the South.

The Kiowa-Comanche-Apache country,
recently opened for settlement, has agrl-
cultural conditions somewhat similar TO
those obtaining in South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, LOUISIANA
and Texas. 1t is the most southerly re-
gion yet thrown open to settlement of the
homestead order, and for this reason the
northern immigrants to the new country
will find entirely new conditions confront
ing them.
It is entirely out of the corn belt, anu
the great staple of the country must prob
ably be cotton. To the average northern
ers the cultivation Of cotton is new
trade, and it will be years before they
can hope to compete with their southern
neighbors in planting, cultivatinS and
gathering this crop. OF course, some
corn can be raised, as well as oats and
wheat but the climate is more particular
~ adapted to the growth Of sub-troplcal
crops. AS a consequence great many
southern people have, been attracted to
the new country.
The country is most of it level and roll
ing in character, excepting a small area
through the Keeche hills in the north
eastern part and the Wichita and Rainy
Mountain ranges in the central western
part. The soil is almost invariably n
red, sandy loan with alternating strips
Of gypsum land. Cutting diagonally
through the territory from the northeast
are the cross timbers, a heavily wooded
tract from ten to fifteen miles in width
The timber is largely post oak or black
Jack, and is useless for any other purpose
than for fence posts and fuel. Occasion

Turning from the subject Of houses, the
lecturer told Of the methods of transport

He spoke Of the primitive farm imple-
ments used by the natives and the great
difficulty in inducing them to adopt mod

when presented with them.
A number of pictures were thrown
on the screen portraying. in an almost
startling manner, the awful famine con-

great confidence for party victory in the

Josiah Quincy, former mayor of Boston,
carried the city today by plurality of

the plurality accorded in this city last
year to Robert Treat Paine Jr., in his

made gain in the house, but suffered a
loss in the senate.
Much interest in the returns centered
in this city, which went for Quincy by
almost 1909, a little more than the Re.

elected all their candidates for offices in
