ticket had been nominated in Gutenberg
for the recent election and why primaries
had not been held. There was some dis
cussion on this question. and it was re-
ferred to the Executive Committee, with
full power.
The Executive Committee organized at
the conclusion of the business session,
and Edward Fry was reelected chairman
for the third term. Frank j. Higgins
was made secretary. The Gutenberg
question came up and a committee was
selected to fill all vacancies in the COM
mittee from that township.
Graham caused some uneasiness among
the Ninth ward leaders for a few min
utes, when he asked why the ward club
was getting left out in the cold. He
said that the ward had three members
of the Executive Committee, but none of
the Republicans there knew who to go to
for advice as to where they were at or
what to do. They were always kept in
the dark as to matters on the inside
No one cared to answer him.
Several vacancies were filled.

METHODIST MISSIONS.
The Rev. Mr.. Baldwin Tells the
Societies About the Work.

In connection with the Methodist Con-
ference the Missionary Society held a con-
ference at st. Pauls M. z. Church on
Third street last night. The Rev. S. Il.
Baldwin, secretary of the Missionary So
ciety, presided. On the platform sat the
Rev. Messrs. Apgar Decker and Jamison.
The speaker of the evening was the
Rev. DIR. H. x. Carroll. He said:-"Mis-
sionary work as understood by the mod
ern Christian church commenced about
1,S70 years ago. when Christ on the Mount
of Olivet, said to his disciples Go We un-.
to all the world and preach the Gospel
to every creature. Confucius said to his
disciples, Come and learn, while Christ
said. Go and teach Methodism began in
the very spirit of the words, Go We unto.
all the world and preach the Gospel to
every creature and this spirit was mani
tested IN the work of John Wesley. If
Methodism ever loses this spirit it will
not be Mcthodism worth having.
He then spoke of the work of the
Methodist Church in the missionary field,
referring to the work in Porto Rico the
Philippines and Hawaii The number Of
converts to the Methodist churches IN for
eign mission nelds IN 1888 was 1900, and
ii 1889 ls2s s0o0.

MURPHY'S BOOMLET.
The Outing Will Take Place
This Year If Nothing
Happens.

The Franklin Murphy Association is TO
be revived this spring to give the Guber-
material boom of the suave and debonair
FRANKIE fresh impetus. OF course, All
outing will be held early in the fall The
turnout promises to far outnunber last
years. Murphy will then, according TO
the programme now outlined, be hailed
as Our next Governor" Even now de-
tails of the boom are being mapped out
Hudson Republicans can see no one else
but the chairman of the State Committee
as nominee.
It's o prominent sinecure, cinch,"
said a prominent leader last night. .All
we have to do now is to go through the
form of nominating him.
Last fall Murphy was hailed as the
next Governor, but he pleaded with au-
diences not to take the matter too seri-
ousy to heart until the proper time ar
rived The proper time has arrived, say
Hudson men, and now they must be up
and doing. The tip has doubtless gone
the rounds to give the ball an extra push
once more to keep the boom from falling
to pieces, and Hudson men began the
spring movement last night at the Coun-
ty Committee rooms
TITS Murphy, certain" said Frank r.
Higgins. Some people have an idea that
the new Dickinson Association has swal-
lowed the Murphy Association, but that's
not so. The outing this year will be big
ger, all around, than last fall
Others seemed confident, too, that MUIR
ply was to be it.

ESSEYS SELF|SHNESS.
She Rejects the Plank Road
Company's Equitable
Offer.

Owing to the usual greed of Essex
county there is no change in Plank Road
situation and very little chance of there
being any change in the immediate fu-
ture. A committee of the Essex Free
holders, under command of County Coun-
sci Mum, visited E. F. C. Young, presi-
dent of the North Jersey Street Railway
Company at his Office in this city. and
informed him that the Essex Freehold
ers rejected the proposition made by the
North Jersey for the Strengthening out of
the Plank Road muddle. The plan SUBJ
mitted by the company was to turn over
the road and bridges to the two eoun-
ties, after dredging and widening the
channel, driving new piles and in all other
respects, complying with the requirements
of the National Government which would
cost the company about $4,000, in addition
to the cost of the draw and maintain the
road between the two bridges for one
year free if Hudson and Essex would
absolve the Plank Road and the railway
company form further maintenance of the
road after the expiration of the year.
Some surprise was expressed that the
Essex Freeholders should have rejected
this fair offer. After the Essex men had
delivered this ultimatum, John Griffin,
counsel for the Hudson Freeholders, was
sent for. and he was informed of Essex's
action. Essex then made the proposition
that Essex should maintain the Passaic
and Hudson the Hackensack bridge and
the trolley company look after the road
for year.
Mr.. Young replied that he thought the
company's offer generous one, and it
could not see its way clear to do any
more. However. he would hold the COM
pany's offer open until the two boards
could get together and attempt to adjust
their differences. The Plank Road Com
pany, he said, could take no further steps
until Essex and Hudson got together
and came to some understanding. The
company, he said, would receive and con-
slider any plan the Freeholders might
want to submit. Mr., Mum told Mr..
Griffin that the Essex Freeholders would
meet next Thursday night and consider
the subject. Mr.. Griffin replied that he
would inform Director Holmes of what
had taken place. and he could call
special meeting of the Hudson Board If he
thought it necessary.

INSANE FROM OYER STUDY
Young M'Gowan Arrested
Because His Father
Fears Bodily Harm.

George MCGOWAN, twenty-four years old
of No. 326 Fourth street, clerk in the
law Office of Arthur Archibold, No. 3
Cooper place, was arrested at midnight
last night on complaint of his father,
Peter. to prevent him from inficting
harm on his mother and sister, The
young mans family believe he is mentally
irresponsible and dangerous. He was
placed in St Francis's Hospital last Tues
day. but he left there without leave We'd
nesday and he wandered about up to late
last evening when he returned to his
fathers home. He began to abuse his
folks and his father called in Patrolman
Martin of the Second precinct police sta
tion. He was brought before Police JUS
tice Hoos this morning in the First Grim
inal Court and held for examination as
to his sanity. This disposition of the
case was strongly urged by his father
MCGOWAN has always been a studious
young man. About month ago he en-
tered the office of Counsellor Archibold
He was enthusiastic and studied hard,
beingA ambitious to finish a four years
course in three years. About week ago
the effects of overstudy began to be
visible and last Sunday he broke down,
suddenly becoming irrational and abusive
His father called DR.. Loomis and a long
rest was recommended
MCGOWAN passed through Monday and
Monday night in comparative quietness,
but early Tuesday he showed an inclina-
ton to do violence to those about him,
and his father caused his removal to ST.
Francis Hospital. There the physicians
expressed the hope that the patient would
soon be completely cured. The young
man said that in the hospital on each
side of him were patients suffering with
consumption, a disease of which he had
a horror. He also said a request to
change his bed was refused and he then
decided to leave. Early Wednesday even
ing he got the opportunity he sought and
quietly slipped from the ward and out
into the street. Where he spent the inter-
yening time is unknown. Hesmerely says
Ie WAS walking about
McGowan's fingers were badly discol-
cred, as is the case with cigarette fends,
and some of his friends believe that the
use of the cigarette is partially response
bic for his condition.

A c. 0. P. TRICK
Schultz Lets a Splitting Cat
Out Of the Bag.
FILORAM0 IS TO GO
He Doesn't Do Enough for
the Party and Pagan Has
a Friend Who Will.

Treasurer Michael Schultz, Jr, of the
Republican County Committee, disclosed
a pretty political trick last evening after
the meeting of that body. 1t may have
been unintenuonal on his part, but new
ertheiess he made statements which will
cause discontinue to several prominent
leaders.
The statements in question came out
over discussion about Court Interpreter
Joseph Filaramo, whc has held his posi-
tion at the Court House for five years or
more. 1t seems that a certain Republi-
can is looking for Filaramo's scalp and
has begun a movement to have him dis
placed. Treasurer Schultz revealed the
whole plot Ia the following statement
Some people seem to think that
Filoramo has done nothing for the party
since he was placed in that position. 1t
was said that Filoramo catered more TO
the Democrats than he did to the party
keeping him in a position.
Mark Fagen said that he has large
Italian following in his ward and he has
man for Filoramo's place. The position
is one created by the court and FiIoramo
holds the place by the good will of the
court Judge Blair could appoint another
man IN ms place IN a minute.
"Fiioramo has been to see people about
being retained Mr.. Woolley told him to
go and see Chairman Fry of the Exec
utive Committee. If Fry stood for him
it would be all right. Fry had been
tipped off in the meantime and when
Filoramo went to him, Fry told him that
nothing could be done for him.
Thus did Mr.. Schultz tell the story 1t
was learned subsequently that the intend
ed victim was to go to make room for
a follower of Mark Pagan, who halls
from the Fifth ward. Pagan is said to
be slated for the Republican Mayoralty
nomination this fall. In order to add
strength to his campaign, it was deemed
wise to appoint an Italian from that
ward TO fill Filoramos place, which the
leaders thought would influence the
Italian vote of that locality.
Fileramo is making a fight to hold on.
but the knives are out and he must go.
The members of the Executive Commit
tee were greatly surprised to learn of
Mr. Schultz's remarks as the matter has
never been discussed in that committee.
The whole affair came up in talk a
few of the leaders had last night after the
meeting.
