Departed Officer to Have Mill
tary Escort--Major Bren-
singer Mourns.

Colonel Robert G. Smith announced at
the Armory last night that military es-
Scort of the Fourth Regiment, consisting
of non-commissioned officer, squad of
eight Drivates and a buglar would ac-
company the body of the late Colonel
Abernethv to Easton, Pr, where the boly

The squad will fire d volley over the
body and the blglar will sound taps
Memorial services in honor of Colonel
Aberenthy We're held in Public School No.
8 this morning under the direction of Ma
ior Brensinger, principal of the school
After the cadets had given the revsille,
the school sung THE Star Spangled Ban
ner." Then the bugle again sounded and
the hag was lowered to half staff as the
school led by Miss Julia Harney, sang
Nearer Nv God to Thee" Colonel Aber-
nethv's favorite hymn. The flag will
remain at half staff until after the burial.
1t seemed most fitting to Major Bren-
singer that these services should be
held. as the Colonel was always a warm
friend Of Public School No. 8 as well as
a personal friend and life long com
nanion of its principal. Major Bren-
singer was born in Easton, Pa, as was
Colonel Abernethy, and both men were
prominent in the Fourth Regiment.

MUST WIPE OUT CHAMBERS
Citizens Decide to Demand
Stringent Action by the
Board of Health.

Chambers are so prevalent in the city
that horse owners have decided to start
movement for the protection of horses.
The Board of Health will be asked to
pass an ordinance prohibiting the fur
ther use of street water troughs and to
compel every driver to carry a pail for
drinking purposes for each horse.
Such an ordinance a prominent local
turfman thinks would go far towards
stamping out the dreaded disease
Every horse should have its own
pail" he said, 'and no horseman should
tie his animal to hitching post, but a
weight and strap should be used Again
every horse should be provided with a
separate curry comb and brush, which
should be disinfected before being used.
Every precaution should be taken
to wipe out the glanders.
'sNew York, Hoboken and Newark are
full Of horses suffering with glanders and
unless owners in Jersey City are ex-
tremely careful there will be an epidemic
Of glanders here"

Selects the Postmaster
for Sheriff.

Postmaster P. F. Wanser will be the
Republican nominee for Sheriff." said a
high political authority to a reporter of
"The News" today, and John Zeller will
be the Democratic candidate All things,
you know, are liable to change, but un-
less something very, very extraordinary
turns mp, that will be the ticket"
The Postmaster's name has been mem
toned before in desultory sort of way,
but this is the first time that any one of
those who know" has positively said
that he would be the G. O. P.'s choice.
As for Mr.. Wanser himself, he grins,
shrugs his shoulders, when newspaper

TOFFEY'S CLOSE SECOND.
The selection of Major General Wan
ser was, it is said, determined at meet
ing held in the Union League Club last
night when the views of the leaders of
the Republican districts, previously OBJ
tanned, were discussed by the Union
League Club coterie, which directs the
affairs of the party-at least, they think
they do. The name of Colonel John J..
Toffey was mentioned as well as those
of John G. Kaiser and Tony Volk.
While 1t was admitted that the gallant
Colonel would be strong man for sew
eral reasons, it was deemed advisable to
select the name of Wanser. The Major
General wasn't present, but from the
confident manner of those who gave out
the information, it is confidently assumed
that he will accept it.

Company obtained a grant in 1887, 31S
acres at $340, an acre; that the Point
Breeze Improvement Company got a
grant in 1876, for $50, $50, or at the rate
of $50 foot.
ESTIMATE OF CENTRAL'S GRANT.
Mr.. Payne testified that in his opinion
the Central would have to pay $25, 900 or
$4,000 an acre to improve the lands un-
der water. which would include dredging
building of bulkhead, ETC. He believed
that the upland could be improved for
manufacturing purposes at an expendi-
ture of $1,000 to $4,000 an acre.
He considered the present value of the
two imDrover tracts at $1,000 per acre on
the first and $1,000 an acre on the Sec
ond.
Mr.. Edwards said that lands are be-
ing sold in Jersey City for manufacturing
PURPOSES with railroad facilities for
$1,000 to $4,000 an acre, while the un-
improved lands in question had been val
ued by the city's assessors at $4,000 to
Sc. 900 an acre.
Mr.. Payne said that the Pennsylvania
tract at GreenyilIe was not SO valuable
as the Central tract by reason of the fact
that the latter Is nearer New York and
is thus a more desirable location
