HOW JERSEY WON.
Electoral Messenger Lost No
Time Getting to Wash
ington.

Simon Gerson, who carried the vote of
the State of New Jersey to Washington,
to be cast for Mckinley and Roosevelt,
was generally congratulated yesterday for
the promptness with which he delivered
the returns. Mr.. Gerson left the train,
where he had Pullman accommodations,
and proceeded Immediately to the Senate
Chamber, where he men Senator Sewell.
Just then Senator kean came in and
he took the messeneg or the State and
introduced him OF President Frye.
The Acting Vice-President shook hands
with him and warmly congratulated Gar
son on being the first messenger to ar
rive. President Frye directed his Secre-
tary to write receipt for the returns.
Senator Sewell then requested his
Secretary, Major Palmer, to escort Mr..
Gerson to the Treasury Department,
where the mileage allowance, $42.5O, was
paid.
AT the Treasury Department Mr..
Gerson was informed that for many
years the State of Maryland had always
been the first to arrive with the results
of the election, but that nothing has been
heard from it so far.
MIR. Gerson arrived in Washington at
1880 A. NJ. and left at 3:15 P. NJ, and on
returning to Trenton went on duty as
watchman at the State House.

BooKKEEPER ACCUSED.
Wright Charges Crowley With Em.
bezzlement.

William Crowley, bookkeeper, of No.
n Sussex street, who was formerly en-
ployed by Thomas Wright, a wagon man.
ufacturer, of No. 41o Grand street, was
arrested yesterday on Mr.. Wright,s COM
plant that Crowley had embezzzled $1S8 "a.
The case was laid over for further exam
nation. Crowley says the matter will
be satisfactorily adjusted in a few days,
as his brother, Buffalo, N. Y, merchant,
is on his way here to make good the
defalcation.
Crowley was Mr.. Wright's bookkeeper
for several years. A few days ago it was
noticed that his books were in pretty bad
shape and he was discharged. In un-
tangling accounts Mr.. Wright noticed a
shortage and caused Crowley's arrest.
The first amount specified was $40.
Further examination showed a more seri-
Gus condition of affairs and a new COM
plant was lodged against Crowley, in
which the larger sum was specified. 1t
is said that Crowley's method was to take
a portion of the moneys given him to
deposit in the bank and doctor his ac-
counts so as to conceal the thefts An
other method was the wholesale appro-
priation of money received at various
times for the payment of bills incurred
by Mr.. Wright's customers. In all cases
ibungling efforts at concealment were re-
sorted to so that an almost casual glance
at the accounts showed the falsity of the
entries
Crowley comes of a good family, which
is highly respected in New York State.
He is also we'll known in this city among
the younger element.

TO CLEAN RIVER At SUMMIT
Reservoirs to Be Thoroughly
Renovated in Readiness
For New Water.

The Board of Street and Water Commits
sioners have decided to work in harmony
with the Practitioners Club in their
effort to secure pure water for Jersey
City. The suggestions made by the medi-
cal gentlemen were published in yester-
days News In word they weres to
prevent pollution Of the river at Sum1Nit,
and to clean the reservoirs on Summit
avenue.
The Commissioners have long had the
problem of cleaning the reservoirs before
them, but the difficulty in the way was
the fact that the reservoirs were so con-
nected with pipes that to attempt to
clean one reservoir meant shutting off the
city's water supply during the operation.
1t is not necessary to wait until the
Jersey City Water Supply Company, as
the Flynn syndicate is termed lay their
pipes the city can go on connecting so
that when the new supply is ready it can
be turned on at once
TO return to the reservoirs these un-
douhtedly need cleaning. There is con-
siderable vegetable growth to be removed
The Commissioners plan is to buy pipe
and so arrange it that one reservoir can
pc shut off and cleaned while the other
furnishes the city's daily supply. Then in
It's turn it can be cleaned and the other
do the duty of furnishing the water. Moth
ing, however, can be done until the spring.
10 empty any of the reservoirs now
said Chief Engineer Van Keuren today,
would be to leave exposed wet walls.
The frost would get in and the result
would be we would have no reservoirs.
The water so frozen would as you know,
cause expansion and you can readily
imagine what damage that would cause
to the stone work When the spring
comes we will get to work on both reser-
yoirs and clean them properly, but as I
have pointed out this cannot be done until
we lay another system of pipes connect
ing the reservoirs

BRENNAN'S WILL.
There Was Only One Witness to


Warden Osborne of the City Hospital
will hold the bank book and other eff
fects of John Brennan, who died Sunday
in the hospital and who was buried yes
terday morning in the Catholic Cemetery
on West Side avenue, until ordered to
give them up by the court. Brennan, as
told yesterday, was buried at the ex-
pense of Court Pavonia, Foresters Of
America. Brennan's handbook showed a
credit of $3.50 in the Emigrants' Savings
Bank of Greenwich street, New York
City. While yet rational he expressed 3
wish to leave his money to st. Peters
Catholic Church. The nurse who attend
ed him drew up paper in which Bren-
mans wish was expressed. The nurse
was the only witness.
1t is now question if the paper is
good evidence of the intent of Brennan.
1t was held some time ago in this State
that a verbal will if proved was satisfac-
tory evidence of the intent of the deceas-
ed This can be done if the Church
wishes to get the money. Warden Osborne
said that he had reason to believe that
Brennan has sister living, but that the
deceased and she were on bad terms be-
for he died. Brennan, however, while de-
lirious, declared that his sister was dead

SUCH HARMONY !!
Weastell and His Friends
Agree With Decker in
Everything.
GREAT CHANGES PROMISED
Everything Will Be Clean
and All Will Be
Heard.

George w. Decker is now considered the
Republican leader of the Eighth ward.
The Ward Association met last evening
and unanimously declared him Chairman.
Inere were no disturbances, as some had
peen led to believe would transpire, and
the Wen arranged plans of the Decker
ties went through harmoniously.
a feature and surprising one, was
the apparent sincerity Of several machine
men, John FL. Weasten in particular.
These men took a decided interest in the
proceedings and voted with the majority.
Inere were twenty-six members whe
qualified, all but four being Deckerites.
There Were many others present, but
these were allowed no vote in the pro-
ceedings, not having qualified. John
Bumsted, vice chairman of the old asso-
citation, presided in the absence of Joseph
A. Dear. Mr.. Dear went down and out
last night, having been beaten at the re-
cent primaries
Mr. Abraham L. Wilson, president Of
the George w. Decker Association. NOM
mated Mr.. Decker for chairman. The
motion was seconded, put and carried by
acclamation. Thus was the leader of the
anti-ring element raised to the exalted
position of chairman of the Ward Asso-
citation and leader of the Republican
party in that ward. Daniel P. Holmes
was made vice chairman; George w.
Robertson, secretary; Joseph A. Cole,
Treasurer, and Phillip R. Franklin, SER
geant-at-arms. Every one of these offi-
GERS were elected unanimously. Mr..
Woolley was not present owing to the eff
fects of his very recent illness.
Mr. Decker on assuming the chairman-
ship, spoke for few minutes on the
status of politics in that ward, general
izing to some extent He went on to
state that the men known as the anti
ring men were often unjustly accused of
being in measure responsible for dis
ruption in the party ranks. This he de-
MED most emphatically. He forcibly con-
tended that any friction that was noticed
Of late was due entirely to the machine
following. Tactics had been employed. he
said, that the Decker men would never
be responsible for, and that if harmony
was the cry of the machine men they
never had a better chance to show their
hand than now.
Continuing, Mr.. Decker said that the
people would get all that had been
promised in the way of precinct primaries
and that clean politics would ever be their
slogan. The meeting then adjourned
after a motion had been put and carried.
ordering all future meetings to be held
at the Decker rooms, Bergen avenue and
Union street. All committees will be ap-
pointed at the February session.
Having now secured absolute control of
the ward the Deckerites win proceed to
carry out divers plans for the betterment
of the ward politics. There is no mis-
taking the motives of the anti-ring sle-
ment. Their sole purpose is to get esher
wards to oust the present leaders and
form new management for the party
in the county. The Deckerites now ex-
pect all ON the outside to bow to them
on all matters.

THE BISHOPR|C.
Three Priests Named By the
IrremoVable Rec
tors.

The action taken by the Board of Con-
sultors and IrremovabIe Rectors of the
Catholic Diocese of Newark, relative tc
the selection of three candidates for the
vacancy caused by the death of Bishor
Wigger, has been the subject of much
comment among the parishioners of the
diocese as to the relative chances of the
priests selected. The conference was held
IN New York, and three priests were
named in this order: Very Rev. J. j.
oConnor, administrator of the Newark
Diocese; Rev. DR.. Charles J. Kelly, OF
Hopoken; Rt. Rev. Bishop Farley, of New
York
According to report it is not at all i'm
proDapie that when the Catholic bishops
ol tne province of New York meet, which
VIII be early in February, they will Sc
iect one of the three clergymen named
Yesterday. II may be, however. that
even II the bishops favor any of the
three priests mentioned the College OF
Cardinals at Rome may recommend t,
the Pope three names that have NOT vet
peen even mentioned, and the holy father
might likewise select some one who has
not been considered by either the priests.
olshops or cardinals. Such being the con-
uitlon or affairs, it is conceded that it is
an extremely difficult problem to solve.
Archbishop Michael Augustine Corrigan
VINO was chairman of the conference, will
not pc interviewed in regard to the bish-
opric vacancy. The Archbishop has great
influence at Rome, and it is taken for
granted that he has considerable influence
with his Bishops. Because Of these facts
1T is claimed that if the Archbishop takes
hand in the appointment he will come
very close to having his way.
In New York it is said that the Arch
Dlsnop may favor Bishop Farley and in
Newark it is claimed that Vicar General
OConnor will have the good wishes OF
this distinguished prelate
Both Vicar General O'Connor and Dr.
Kelly were ordained at Seton Hall Col
lege. Bishop Farley was ordained al

Church, Newark, will, in the event OF

most prosperous churches in the diocese
If appointed Bishop, there is no doubt,
it is said, but that Father O'Connor would
appoint Rev. George Doane O'NeiI to
succeed himself as Chancellor. Father
O'Neill is popular with the priests of the
diocese and is thoroughly acquainted with
its business affairs. 1t is thought that
it will be some time in March, and proba-
bly, later, before it will be definitely
known who will be the new Bishop.

THE GARNlSHEE LAW.
Jersey Merchants Ask Its Introduce
ton Here.

After heated discussion and consider
able opposition the New Jersey Retail
Merchants Association, with which the
Merchants Protective Association of this
county is. affiliated, at it's twenty-seventh
semi-annual convention in Newark yester-
day declared in favor of the Grout bill
now pending in Congress and a tax of 70
per cent. on oleomargarine The vote
endorsing the measure was close one
and many of the members were most de-
cided in their opinions that the bill was
an unjust one and an imposition on the
people of the country.
Another important measure was the
adoption of resolution to present to the
State legislature at it's present session a
bill similar to the Garnishee law of
Massachusetts, which provides that a
judge of a court shall decide, if man is
able to do it. he shall pay 10 per cent. of
his weekly earnings to cancel indebted
ness for the "necessaries of life," such as
groceries for his family. etc.
The following officers were elected for
the ensuing six months:-D. G. Shields of
Paterson, President; Arthur Greenfield
of Kearny, First Vice-President; A. A.
Smythe, Jersey City, Second Vice-Presi-
dent; John G. Hindry, Paterson, Secre-
tary, and P. S. Atkinson, New Brunswick,
Treasurer.
The delegates from the Merchants Pro-
tective Association of this county to the
convention were: A. A. Smythe, Wm G.
Howcth, Jospeh Grobholz, Robert Ander-
son, r. r. Vessels Henry Hoersch, J. w.
Black and John Bosquett.
E. R. Vessels of this county was named
as chairman Of the committee to present
the bill to the Legislature.
President William H. Everett of New
ark presided at the meeting. In his open
ing address he told briefly of the sue
cess attained by the association.
Secretary John G. Hindry of Paterson
read voluminous report of the proceed
ings of the last convention, and after it
was adopted the President appointed the
committees for the convention.
