night to get an account of a so-called
County convention of independent voters,

FOX CHASE IN GREENvILLE
Three Local Sportsmen Have
an Exciting Time on the
West Side.

The Greenyille section has its quota
of sportsmen, as demonstrated by the re-
cent exploits of numerous celebrities who
hail from the land of velery, but the prize
winnersare George Letter, Phillip Weiss,
and Andrew Holman. This trio know.
all there is to be leqrned about the game,
and it was their Intention on Wednes-
day to make a record. They said that
it was unnecessary to spend several
weeks wages to reach spot where game
aboundad, but that within the corporate
limits of old Jersey could be found live
stock enough to test their skill. The re-
suit of the trip not only tested their skill,
but also their true knowledge of game.
Down on the West SIDE there still re-
mains clump of woods that the woods
cans axe has spared, and thither they
jotrneyed.
You are not particular what you
shoot, are you?' asked Letter of his
companions. 1t was immatenal to the
others what came along, they would take
a crack at it anyhow.
For an hour or more the trio roamed
about through the bushes and woods,
peppering small birds. No big game
came along, and all became tired of the
sport, for it was adjudged very tame.
Weiss said he knew there must be some
thing larger than birds in the woods, and
suggested that all Jake another tramp
about. Each took different directions
and agreed to meet at point not far off.
Weiss called his dog and set off.
Presently the animal was lost in the
bushes. Weiss could not find him. Not
more than ten minutes had elapsed when
Weiss heard crashing in the weeds not
far from him, and his rifle was soon in
readiness for use. Neaser and nearer
came the sounds, until he saw what he
thought was a fox scampering down a
path.
"A fox, fellows, fox yelled he. On
he dashed after his prey. His compan-
ieps, We're soon in pursuit. The chase
con inued for ten minutes, when all three
suddenly brought up under a chestnut
tree where the dog was barking furious
iy.
Weiss realized how he had been fooled.
His companions roared with delight at
the thought Of Weiss chasing a fox. 1t
was his own dog that he failed 70 recog-
nize.
/ The story was brought back to the
quarters, where fun is dispensed, and
Weiss was made the mark. Those who
heard the story said thaA they had heard
of other alleged sportsmen doing funny
things in that line, but this was the
climax.

When Mr.. Smith finished Mr.. Edwards
said that he had no other witnesses on
hand whom he could call. He again
asked for an adjournment, and Major
Lentz said that under the circumstances
the railroad should be given show.
"Mr. Edwards is a Democrat, .'he said,
" and should have a chance. We should
not hang him. It's hard thing to be
cut short. / am in favor of giving him
an adjournment, but this viii be his last
chance on earth"
Mr.. Record protested and Commission

Get Control.

Mayor Fagan's Baths.
NO ONE HEADED BOARDS

The German-American Independent
Democratic Club met last night in Lie
derkranz Hall. 1t stoutly denounced by
resolutions the efforts Of the Republican
machine to deprive the people of the right
to elect their own Street and Water Com
missioners and foist upon them an APP
pointive single-headed Commission.
Mayor Fagan's $4,000 bath house
scheme was also discussed, attention be-
ing called to the fact that children were
without full school accommodation and
that No. 10 School was undergoing re-
pairs during the regular school term,
when it should have been repaired during
vacation.
The county parks question was brought
up and the sentiment was almost unan-
imous against the proposition at this
time, but no definite action was taken.
1t was laid over until next meeting. The
main ground of opposition was that Jer
sey City would be taxed so per cent. of
the expense while the other municipali-
ties altogether would be taxed only forty
per cent, and that Jersey City at present
was more in need of other improvements.
In regard to the resolution condemning
the single-headed Street and Water Com
mission, President Klingenstein said the
club had taken stand against the pro-
position as soon as it was known that a
bill looking to that end had been intro
duced in the Legislature. 1t opposed it,
he said, first on the ground Of eentraliza-
ton of power, which all Gernan-Ameri-
cans opposed.
ELECTIVE BOARDS.
ssWe want, lie said, mot only an cleo
tive Street and Water Board, but an
elective Finance Board. Second, we be-
lieye in home rule or self government
and do not believe that other parts of the
State have anything to do with regulat-
ing such city affairs.
Mr.. Klingenstein also called attention
to the fact that notwithstanding Mayor
Pagan had vetoed the resolution of the
Finance Board authorizing the appoint
ment of Allan L. McDermott to assist
Corporation Counsel Record in pushing
certain legal claims. he had assented to
the city paying $500 to Counselor Vren-
enburgh for similar services.
HONORARY MEMBERS.
Gottfried Matthews, Rudolph Berb-
mann and others spoke in the same vein
on all the questions discussed.
Former Mayor Edward Hoos of this

CAMPAIGN NOTES.

The Democratic County Committee
will meet tonight at the rooms of the
Robert Davis Association. 1t is expected
that the session will be well attended.
Frank P. Leblanc, the justice of the
peace, who will seek reelection in the
Third Ward, will probably go it alone
at the Democratic primaries. All other
aspirants realize the futility of bucking
up against the judge, SO will keep out of
the race.
Alderman J J.. Muller, of the Tenth
Ward, can have the denomination for
alderman on the Democratic ticket by the
mere say so. He has "a large number
of friends and to be leected is a walkover
fer him.
The German American Independent
Democratic Club met last night at Lie
derkranz Hall and endorsed nearly all
the policies of the local and county DEM
ocracy.
seems likely that Constable "Joe"
Locke, who has hitherto been invulnera-
BILE in the Tenth Ward of Jersey City,
will have a hard row to hoe this fall.
His opponent will probably be James
Bogie, son Of Alexander Bogie, the Sum-
NIT avenue florist, and one of the most
popular young Democrats of the ward.
oung Bogie, as well as Locke, has al
ready begun a hustling canvass and the
latter argues that he has the fight of
his life on hand.
Even the little boy is getting his Ian
tern ready for campaign parades in the
Horseshoe.
Edward J. Murphy has practically de-
cided TO run for Alderman on the Demo-
cratic ticket in the Second Ward. The
Committeeman want him to run. He is
young and popular and would add
strength to the ticket.
The Second Ward Democratic Club
will meet every Thursday evening until
after the campaign.

body he met at the Second Ward Demo-
cratic Club meeting last evening. Kelly
will evidently be the only candidate at
the primaries.
"Why are the Republicans holding out
with their nominees in the Second
Ward?" asked an old politician last
evening. Guess they want to see who
the Democratic candidates are going to
be-" replied another.
The s. D. Dickinson Association is
getting ready for the campaign, but can
not find any candidates to run in the Sec
ond and Third Wards.
Dan Cole, it is said, will be re-nomina-
ted for Alderman in the Third Ward.
His opponent is Frederick Cooper, a fa-
vorite at the Third Ward Democratic
Club.
1t looks as though there may be a
scramble for F'reeholder nominations.
The Democratic State Committee will
meet at its headquarters in the Hotel
Washington tomorrow.
The Junction Democratic Club will
meet tomorrow night at Lau's Hall.
The Sixth Ward Democratic Club had
an enthusiastic meeting last night at Sile-
heimer's Hall in Lafayette. President
John Erickson was in the chair. A
committee was appointed to take charge
of the ward campaign. Tt is composed of

John Mulroy, Of No. 311a Manning ave

in the evening until seven in the morning.

What is this all about? Isn't my wife
able to open the doory' said AIulroy.
Sure, and its yer wife that left ye,''
replied the janitress.
Mulroy waited to hear no more, but
started upstairs two steps at time to
investigate for himself. Opening the
parlor door he discovered the piano miss
ing, then going into another room he
found that the best bedroom suit he
owned was also gone. Muiroy stormed
and then he stormed again, but no one in
the house whom he asked could tell him
where his wife and household goods were.
The janitress, when he had become calm,
told him that when he had left for work
last evening a truck backed up to the
house and his wife superintended the
loading of the goods upon it.
Mdlroy admitted this morning that he
had been drinking and had quarreiled
with his wife previous to leaving for
work

morning. Now understand me, though
if the wife wants to fix things up Pm

tiers up though, as | am a Dublin man
and she comes from Tipperary."
