Fire Committee to Meet This Even
ing at the City Hall.
The 1 1000 Feet of New Hose Ordered
Have Not Yet Been Shipped
to City.
DANGEROUS sHoRTAGEIN HOSE

The hose question has not YET been
settled by the fire committee of tho
general council. Today is the time set
for letting the contract that was first
let two months ago, for hose that has
been needed for over six months. The
committee countermanded the order at
the last moment, and since then what
little hose the city had has burst at
the various fires, none of II being able
to stand o0-pound pressure. There
is now great need for more hose.
A week or more ago Mayor Yeiser
ordered / 900 feet Of fire hose through
the Day Rubber company Of st. Louis,
because of the existing emergency.
These hose were expected in a short
time and should have been here before
now, but have not yet arrived.
IL was reported today that because
of the bond the oompany's agent
would have to sign the company had
decided not TO ship the hose.
Mr. W. Z. Cochran, the agent,
however, has a telegram stating that
the delay was only in waiting for
couplings, and that the hose will be
shipped tomorrow.
II is by no means certain. however,
that the city will get the hose when
they arrive, as there is likely TO be
trouble over the bond, Judging from
reports current this morning.
1t is not known to whom or what
company the contract will be let, but
the price paid will not be over 81 a
foot, as this amount was the maxi
mum bid.
The price Of the emergency hose is
not known. as the committee has not
yet been given out. The company
agreed when the order was given,
however, to duplicate the guarantee of
the National India Rubber Co. at a
less price, which means a five year
guarantee with a four hundred pres
sure. Whether the company will sign
up this guarantee at the proper time
remains to be seen A member of-the
committee said today that If 1t did
not, the city could not have the hose.
The general opinion among the
members of the committee seems to be
that it acted unwisely and hastily in
countermanding the order sent to the
NATIONAL India Rubber company. So
far as 1t has been able to learn, none
of the companies will sign the guar
antee the city requires signed. 1t is
probable that after the contract is let
tonight, the city will have to modify
its contract.
The fire committee meets at 1880
this evening at the city hall to let the
contract

RAILROAD CASES
COUNTY JUDGE LIGHTFOOT is
BUSY WITH THEM.

County Judge r. T. Lightfoot is
again busy with the railroad condem-
nation suits and today is hearing the
case Of II. l.. Potter.
The commissioners gave Potter e.
900, to which the railroad company
filed exceptions. The evidence is be-
ing heard and the case will probably
be decided before the day is out.
Tomorrow the case of W. II. Rott-
gering will be tried.
Rottgering was given $1,000 for
damages, etc., by the commissioners,
but he asks for $4,000. He owns
one of the finest farms in this section
and the railroad cuts through his pro-
perty nearly the whole length.

Remains Of victim Near VIOLA, Kyr
are Identified.
John Palmerson Lived at Fisher,
AK, But Had Been Working fol-
the 1. o at Boaz.
NOT KNOWN HOW HE MET DEATH

The remains of the unknown man
who was killed by an l. O. train
near Viola, Ky, yesterday were those
of John Pslmerson, and have been
buried near where found.
Palmerson was single and shout 2S
years of age, and had been an employe
of a section gang working near Boaz
on the l. O. until recently, when he
was sent to Chicago by the company
during the trouble with the freight
handlers.
Pslmerson's home was in Fisher,
Ark, and he had been in the employ
of the l. Q. for some time. II Is sup
posed that he had been to church and
was returning home Sunday night
when struck, probably by the fast pas
senger train No. 104.
The last time he was seen alive was
when he was going north walking on
the track. His head was cut of and
death must have been instantaneous.
Palmerson sometimes went by the
name of John W. Patterson, and was
known as such by many about Boaz,
where he had been working.

Three Seriously Injured at a New
Jersey Primary.
A Negro Constable Plugged a Prize
Fighter, and There Was Hot
Time in the Old Town.
BOTH SIDES CHARGE FRAUD

Camden, N. j., July 29-The pri-
m,ry election for delegates to the con-
vention Of the First congressional dis
trict of New Jersey, were held yester-
day afternoon and evening m Cam
den, Gloucester and Salem counties,
which comprise the district. The
candidates for the nomination are
Henry @. Loudenslager, the present
congressman, and J. Alpheus Van
SAINT. The contest has been one of
the most bitter ever held in South
New Jersey. The polls were open
from p. m. to 8 p. m. and the three
hours were marked with serious fight
ing. One man was killed in the city.
Joe" Goddard, the we'll known
heavy weight prize fighter of Phila-
delphia, was probably fatally shot !;
while electioneering in Pensaaken
township. Another man was danger
ously stabbed in this city anG foarth
man received stab wounds at DOG
Corner" near Merchantville.
Goddard was at voting placs in
Pensauken township when he was
shot. He was with a number of men
who were travelling from one polling
place to another. The pugilist got
into quasrel with colored con-
stable named Robert Washington. It
is alleged that Goddard assaulted the
constable with baseball bat and the
colored man, in self defense, shot
Goddard in the head. The constable
surrendered himself to the police and
the wounded prize fighter was brought
to Cooper Hospital here, where the
physicians say he may die.
Near the same polling place Con-
stable Isaac Fowler, while in fight,
was stabbed twice. His wounds,
though painful, are not considered
serious. There was considerable
trouble in Pensauken township and at
Merchantvilie, and a number OF per.
sons were badly beaten.
The most serious ARRAY occurred q,
Third and Beckett streets in this city.
Each side had a crowd at the polling
place at that point, and general riot
was started. When it was all over il
was found that man who was later
identified as John Morrissey 6f Phila-
delphia, had been shot through the
heart by some unknown person and a
policeman not in uniform named Hen
ry Miller had received two cuts ON the
head and probably fatal stab wound in
the left lung. There were q number
of other persons hurt in the fight. but
not seriously SO.
Almost complete returns show that
Loudepslager will have majority of
about rs delegates.
The adherents of both are charging
each other with fraud and with bring
ing large numbers Of reporters from
Philadelphia. The convention will be
held at Woodbury. tomorrow.

yellow Squatters May be 0uted From
Marcus Island Shortly,
The State Department Will Endesvor
to Settle Matter Diplomat
i,ally.
ROsEHILL HAS START OF JAPS

Washington, July ga cablegram
received at the state department from
United States Minister Buck at Toxic
says that the Japanese Minister Of for.
eign affairs informed him that Jap
anese naval vessel would leave yester-
day for Marcus island. The purpose
OF her going is not to make trouble,
but to prevent it. An official of the
foreign office was to go on the vessel
and would probably carry letter to
Captain Rosehill cabled from the state
department here to Minister Buck ad-
vising the captain not to make any
disturbance or to resort to violence to
obtain possession Of the island with
possible loss of life and involving in
ternational complications. If the cap
tain would observe this advice the de-
partment said, for its part it would en-
deavor to settle the claim to Marcus
island automatically. Captain Rose
hill is reported to have sailed from
Honolulu for Marcus island in a
schooner July IL, and it is therefore
probable that he already is at Marcus
island or very near there. The letter
may come into his hands too late to
avert trouble, but the department off,
cials are hoping for the best.

Mistake in the Bids on the Public liz
brary Building is Discovered.
New Bids will Probably Have to Be
Asked by tn Board Of Trustees
at Once.
THERE IS AN ERROR OF $4,000

There is hitch in the public libra
ry proceedings which may resalt in
quite a change in the plans, or possi-
bly, nj the calling for new bids.
Saturday night the board of trustees
met TO sign mp the contract with Con-
tractor B. L. Davis. and it was
thought, after it had been done, that
work would begin monday morning,
when the contractor fully expected to
break ground.
One Of the sub-contractors,. howev-
err, Mr.. Chamblin, of Chamblin and
Murray, yesterday found that mis-
take in figures had been made in his
bid, amounting to about $4,000.
This Of course made 1t impossible
for him, to ACCEPT the contract ex-
cept at heavy loss, and made it
impossible for Contractor Davis to
accept il if Chamblin and Murray
backed down, except at a heavy loss.
The plans and specifications, as
agreed on by the architect, board
and contractor, call for . tile roof
and tile corpioe. Bids for slate
roof and metal cornice were also
asked ut the time the other bids
were called for, and it was found
that they were about 81, 800 under
the lille. The tile was selected,
however, because of its more impos-
ing appearance.
The trustees do not want any one
to lose money on public building.
and have under advisement three
plans. They could, of course, hold
Contractor Davis to his contract, which
has already been signed up, or take the
certified check for $500, which he de-
posted as a guarantee that he would
build a structure according to the
plans. They are disposed, however,
to be generous.
Thoy will either decide to allow the
additional money necessary to place
on the tile roof and cornice, thus ln-
creasing Contractor Davis bid, or do
away with the tile roof and cornice,
and substitute the slate roof and met
al cornice, which would bring the cost
down to the figure desired, about
$50, 600. Or they may decide to c.
the whole thing of and ask for new
bids.
They desire, however, to give Con-
tractor Davis every consideration, and
officially ascertain what he wants to
do about it. The mistake was not his
any more than it was that of the IL
brary trustees, ana the latter do not
want to see him have TO lose on &C.
count Of it.
The board was to have met last
night to straighten things out, but the
rain prevented. II Is probable that
another meeting will he called for this
evening, and q conference held with
Contractor Davis, and the best way
out Of it decided on.
The trustees do not desire the main
contract to be for more than $50, 900,
and Contractor Davis figures are
something under that amount. but
would be about $4,000 more il the
mistake in the brick sub-contract vera
rectified.
