CAESARIAN OPERATION
MAY SAVE TWO LIVES,

The Caesarian operation, the first
of the kind in this part of the west,
was successfully performed by DIR.
z. Crawford, of Davenport, yesterday
at St. Anthony's hospital in this city.
DIR. Crawford was assisted by Drs.
Hall, Slla and Hollowbush, of this
city. Mrs. Cromer, of this city, was
the patient. and the operation is bt :
lieved to have resulted in the saving
of her life and that of her child. Re-
ports received from the hospital au-
thorities are TO the effect that both are
doing wonderfully we'll and that the
success of the operation is not at all
a matter of doubt. Among the me di-
cal men of the three cities, and espec-
Tally among the surgeons. the case
has aroused n great deal of interest
and DIR. Crawford is being congratu-
lated on his entire success in the per-
forming of one of the most delicate
and difficult operations known to the
profession.

WlGCIN BEGINS SUIT
AGAINST PIANO FIRM.

G. H. V. Wiggin, the man who WAS
imprisoned here by members OF the
Reed Piano company of Davenport on
a charge of embezzlement while in
the employ of the company and who
laid in Jail here eight days pending
the securing of requisition papers,
has begun suit for $4,000 damages
for alleged false imprisonment.
1t will be recalled that the charge
against Wiggin was that he missP-
propriated 500 which he had collect
ed in Muscatine. He was arrested on
the street in this city during the
Woodmen picnic and refused to go to
Iowa and stand trial without requi-
siticn. The authorities on this side
had at first no authority for holding
him in custody and after some delay
G. S. Reed came over and swore out a
warrant for him as fugitive from
Justice, securing a continuance in or
DER to apply for requisition. AT
the time appointed for the hearing no
attempt HAD been made to secure the
legal transfer of Wiggin from the
state and the complaining witnesses
did not appear against him. There
fore Magistrate Johnson. before whom
the case was pending. gave the Pris-
oner his liberty.
Wiggin claims to have note
against The piano company for $3.50
and says it is on this account that the
company seeks to prosecute him.
The Reeds, ON the other hand, claim
the note was given to Wiggin when
he was their agent merely TO secure
him in case he was caught in an
emergency and that it was to have
been returned to them. Wiggin has
retained Nj. + Sweeney to represent
hin,

swore out a warrant for the other for
attempted murder, Shelley before

Eat Morsel Provided in the
Person Of Frederick
Verdon.

Hoboken Republicans went through the
formality of a convention last night at
Odd Fellows Hall by eating crow. The
crow was Frederick Verdon, who was
dumped upon the party as Mayoralty
candidate. Grumbling was plentiful
among the delegates, but Joe Guisto, the
local leader, with his usual shrewdness,
hurried things along as quickly as possi-
BILE so that the proceedings would not
be too painful When all was over Yer
don made a grandstand play to regain
the confidence of the Republicans, but his
efforts were in vain. The delegates were
wise to the fact that he had been forced
upon them and when he finished his little
speech the applause emanated only from
his political bodyguard in the rear of the
hall. Even Aaron S. Baldwin, although
he tried his best, could not help Verdon
out
Then Clement Der Leonard took a
hand Mr.. Leonard was at his best last
night, but his vaporings were somehow
misunderstood. One young man in the
rear asked -:
what case is he trying?"
The convention decided to nominate Ed
win r. Stanton for Recorder because, It
is said, no one could be found who would
run against him Mr.. Stanton is the reg
u1ar Democratic candidate.
The other nominees were Leonard Pfeif-
fer for City Treasurer, Diedrich Winkle-
man for Water Registrar; James j.

RECORD WANTS DEBATE
Challenges Mr.. Hudspeth to
Meet Him la Lincoln

Mr.. George L. Record appears to take
his nomination for State Senator on the
Republican ticket as a serious matter. He
this morning sent a letter to Senator Rob-
ert s. Hudspeth, the Democratic nomi-
nee, challenging him to a joint debate d
la Lincoln-Douglass This is Mr.. Rec
ord's letter.
Jersey City, Oct. II, 1901
t'Hon. r. S. Hudspeth:-
My Dear Sir-As you are doubtless
aware, I have been nominated as the
Republican candidate for State Senator
for Hudson county. have always fa-
vored the plan of holding joint debates
between rival political candidates The
merits of this plan are that 1t favors the.
framing of definite issues. it confines the
discussion to releyent subjects, and AZ
fords the voter an opportunity of nearing
both sides. This plan is well and favor
ably known in the South, and the Lin
coln--Douglas debates are a famous pre-
cedent
To the end that we may inaugurate this
wholesome practice here, / hereby chal-
lerge you to meet me in a series of six
debates, the times, places and conditions
of the meetings to be arranged by our re-
spective County Committees.
Every truly yours,

SEYMOUR SCORES
Makes an Excellent impress
sion Upon the Farmers
Of Burlington.
AT THE MT. HOLLY FAIR
Franklin Murphy Says He
Don't Care Whether He
Is Elected or Not

Especial to sThe Jersey City News.''l
MOUNT HOLLY. Oct. II. 19O1.-James
NJ. Seymour was the lion and chief att
traction at the Burlington County fair
here yesterday.
Forty thousand people, at least, were
in attendance. and they all saw Mr.. Sey-
mour. Many shook hands with him and
wished him success.
The Mayor came down from Newark in
the morning, attended by Chief Robert
A. Haggerty, of the State Detective
Bureau. He did not go directly to the
fair grounds, but went first to Burling
ton, where he was received by a commit
tee of local Democrats and then driven
over here
At the entrance to the big fair grounds
the Mayor was met by another commit
tee, led by State Committeeman Eckard
F. Budd and including former Sheriff
Charles II. Shinn, Thomas H. Birch,
Joseph Wills, former Judge J. n Glas-
cow, Edward Schwaberland, Samuel Sem
pie, Charles Stokes, Helyard Stokes Will
liam F. Morgan, Joseph l.. Hammell,
Isaac E. Antrim, Mayor James S. Gilbert,
of Bordentown. and James E. Macray
The Mayor arrived at the fair grounds
at noon. The news of his arrival circu-
lated rapidly through the great crowd
that seemed TO number more souls than
dweit in Burlington county. They for
sock the sacred cows, the two-headed
calves, merrygo-rounds and side shows,
and swarmed to where Mr.. Seymour was
being made acquainted with the voters
of South Jersey
The candidate was introduced to every
body and a handshaking seance was in
stituted that continued until he left to
catch his late afternoon train for home.
David S. Crater, Democratic leader of
Monmouth, whose county gave Mr.. Sey-
mour great reception Tuesday at Free
hold. was with the candidate and made
no concealment Of his admission that the
reception today was many times warmer
than that of the Monmouth men. The
sentiment in favor of Seymour that exists
IN Burlington was reflected at the Tren-
ton convention in the speech of Edward
P. Budd. in which he placed Seymour's
name in nomination.
That sentiment was exemplified today
in the expression heard on all sides dur
ing the reception of Mr.. Seymour.
Theer was neither speechmaking nor
ceremony of a formal nature. The Mayor
was escorted around the enclosure and
was shown all the interesting features
of the fair. He examined the industr'a,
and mechanical exhibits, laughed heartily
at the humorous features and waxed en-
thusiastic over the horse racing.
The Mayor made another hit with his
hand-shake and the hearty manner in
which he greeted the men introduced to
him. That hand-shake is destined to be-
come one of the most effective features of
the Seymour campaign.
The Mayor moved his good right arm
ap and down more than a thousand times
yesterday, and the last grip was just as
vigorous as the first.
The Democratic nominee was petted and
lionized to his hearts content, and when
the days ordeal was over he expressed
himself as well satisfied with his visit
and its results.

SIxTH's TICKET A WINNER.

The Democrats of the Sixth Ward are
entering into the campaign hoping to win
decisive victory and pile up a large
majority. The prospects were never
brighter Not only have they head of
the ticket who commands hearty support,
but the ward candidate, Mr. James H
Gallagher. is man whom the people of
Lafayette know well. In Mr.. Gallagher,
as a successor to James H. Price as
Alderman, the Democrats have a sure
winner. Mr.. Gallagher has lived in Jer-
sey City all his life. He cast his first vote
in 1874. For three decades he has been a
resident of Lafayette and there can be no
doubt of his popularity in that section.
Mr.; Gallagher is in the produce business
in New York. He has never held public
office nor sought one.
The nominee is a member of the
Knights of Columbus Robert Davis As
soeiation. All Saints Lyeeum. Court Pride
of the Hill F. of A., Catholic Benevolent
Legion, and is a trustee of All Saints
Church

laboring man for his vote. 1t was too
bad, exclaimed the speaker, with depre-
eating gesture, to bring him out in cold
weather HE might catch cold. II he
was ever a laboring man he must have
been ship carpenter and the last job
he had must have been on Noah's Ark
ting. coupons labor or not, II he does
Wen produce plenty Of volunteers to help
him.
Mr.. Noonan compared the two conven-
t1ons at Trenton. He alluded to the Re-
publicans as singing sNeraer My God TO
Thee and said no people We're further
away from Him. He said they simply
hand the Democrats clashed, but when
the clash was all over they joined hands.
Seymour, he said didn't go there with
ders from any man. He spoke of him as
an honest, open man, possessing loving
heart. While he had had charge OF many
men no trouble ever arose between them-
It was possibly more than could be said
about any other man in the United States
who had been in business twenty-five
years.
Mr.. Noonan pointed out that the chair
man, and the man whom the Republican
County Convention had nominated for
State Senator, and the man who nominate
fa He n had eonsidefabe fun at the - Expense
of these three gentlemen and said that
the party was in a position wher it would
around on two legs. AS to the gentleman
whom he understood was to be nominated
for Mayor, he said Tile should change
his name from Mark Pagan to Mark
Time He's always moving, but he never
gets ahead. The first thing we know
they'll be nominating our old friend Bill
Barry for Governor" daughter, during
which the candidate for Alderman with
deprecatory gesture, was heard to ex-
claim, Wouldn't accept!' followed by
another shout of laughter.)
The rest of the Republican ticket, the
speaker said he could not remember. He
paid graceful tributes to George L.
Smith, the Democratic candidate for May
or. and to Col. Robert Smith, candidate
for reelection to the Street and Water
Board George T. Smith, he said had
worked himself up on his own merits and
had the respect and confidence of every
man. connected with every branch of
railroading in the county and he was a
serious minded man who would conduct
the business affairs of the city on busi-
ness principles.
AS to Colonel Robert Smith, the speaker
called attention to the fact that the Col
onel left his work at the hands of large
business concern and like true soldier
started at the head of his regiment for
the front ''He had had the glory at
home Z concluded Mr.. Noonan, sand he
was willing to take and give bullets. He
went to the front and offered his services
to his country.
Every mention of William Barry's name
caused the hall to ring with cheers. He
made a short speech Of acknowledgment.

KNITTING FOR DECKER

Now that George w. Decker has been
put before the people as candidate,
there is much speculation as to how he
will be treated in the Eighth Ward by
his former friends. There are several
hundred Republicans whom he sold out
by deal with the machine, and these
men will take this excellent opportunity
of settling old scores.
Decker has hard row to hoe His
former Republican co-workers are cut to
do him. They deem this the best thing
that ever happened. Not man he turned
down will give him any support and it
would not be surprising to see Decker run
three hundred behind the ticket in this
ward.
