UPsETs COAL BIDS.
S. and w. Board Rescinds Award of
Contract Owing to the High Price.

Two weeks ago the Street and Water
Board awarded a contract for furnish
ing 500 tons of soft coal for use at High
Service to the Hudson Coal Company
at 1910 per ton. The company was
the only bidder and there was no anthra-
cite coal available in the market at the
time. The Commissioners made the
award because there was no prospects
then of an early settlement of the strike
and coal dealers were of the opinion
that the price would keep on soaring.
At yesterdays meeting of the Board
the resolution making the award was
rescinded, the Commissioners believing
that the changed conditions resulting
from the negotiations looking to a set
tlement of the strike would make it pos
sible for the city to buy coal at a much
cheaper price.
The Board did not decide to readver-
tise for bids for a supply. 1t will con-
tinue for while getting coal in lots of
twenty tons for High Service on requisi-
ton until the market becomes more sta
BILE. About eight tons are consumed
every day.

uninteresting things as furnaces, boilers,
setam pipes, etc. They may benefit by
their experience.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.
No Evidence to Hold Wolf Charged
With Sunday Liquor Selling.

Albert Wolff, arrested Monday on the
charge of keeping disorderly house at
No. 2S3 Bergenline avenue, was released
this morning in the Union Hill court.
1t was alleged that Wolff was selling
liquor without license, about year
ago, and was driven out of Union Hill,
Father Mclaughlin and the Rev. Isaac
w. Gowan appearing against him.
A short time ago Wolff tried to get
license in Jersey City, but Father Nc
Laughlin appeared before the Excise
Board and prevented him.
Wolff was found Monday at the place
of John Kundig, Main avenue and Ber-
genline road. Kundig was not there and
it was supposed he had transferred his
business to Wolff. Upon investigation,
however, it was found there had been
no transfer and no evidence to show that
Kundig was not still the owner.

Politicians Puzzled by That
Odd Editorial Last Night
Pagan Rappleye
Boss Combine

City Collector Robert Davis said this
orning that he attributed the falling
off in the registry to the fact that the
Democrats had carefully refrained from
registering voters by affidavit except in
case where they could positively swear
that they personally knew the voters to
be entitled to exercise the election fran
chise and could vouch for their legal
residences
the Republican workers have taken affi-
dayits by the thousands without any re-
gard to personal knowledge of the quail
fications of voters.
WHOLESALE WORK.
1t is known that in the Republican dis
trists on the Heights the ward politicians
fthe G. O. p made house-to-house can
vases taking the names of voters. They
were very particular TO ascertain the pol
itics of the men whose names they OBJ
tanned. Although but comparatively few
of the voters were known personally to
the canysssers, the latter calmly swore
that they knew them TO be legal voters
and registered them by affidavit, commit
ting perjury, pure and simple in many
cases without finching.
A CONTRAST.
Democratic workers were warned by
the leaders to be extremely careful not
to register men unless they personally
knew that they were legal voters and liv-
ed at the address assigned to them in the
affidayits.
The registry list in the Ninth Congress
sional district were padded by affida-
Wits, it is said, in the interests Of Robert
Carey. The Republicans have given up
hope of electing their county. ticket but
think that they have chance of sending
Carey to Congress.
A RINGER.
The leading editorial in yesterdays
Journal" entitled ssThe People vs. Office
Seekers" caused much comment in Re
publican circles. The G. o. P. bosses
were hit hard. They were practically
told that they would make mistake un-
less they nominated men like Aaron S.
Baldwin, Colonel Toffey, ID. w. Law
renee or Herman Walker for Sheriff The
editorial was generally accepted as a
''pound" on John G. Kaiser who will
probably get the nomination. Some con-
sidered it as 'lay down" at the elev-
enth hour. Others were of the opinion
that the Journals" editor and Mayor
Pagan took this means of serving notice
on Colonel Dickinson, General Wanser
and the G. o. P. bosses that the Rap
pelye-Fagan combine would have to be
considered as the real thing in the future
Pagan has assumed q more or less in
dependent attitude during the past few
months. He refused to pledge himself
to appoint Wanser City Collector to sue
ceed Robert Davis. He wouldn't make
