WOULD BREAK DEADLOCK
Second Brigade Officers to
Renew Attempt Tonight
to Elect General

Especial to THE Jersey City News.)
TRENTON, June 9, 1sO2.-The field Off
GERS of the Second Brigade will make an
other effort tonight to break the deadlock
over the selection Of brigadier general
to succeed General Cooper.
The officers of the Second Regiment
have asserted that they will vote for none
but Colonel Gilmore, who is now acting
brigadier general as the senior colonel of
the brigade, in consequence of which he is
also the logical successor of the late bri-
gade commander. This fact the officers of
the Second Regiment believe should in it
self be sufficient reason to lead the Off
GERS of the Third Regiment to vote for
him instead Of Colonel Chambers The
latter has no command and holds his tit.e
simply because he is ON the staff of the
commanding general.
The name of State Treasurer Frank c.
Briggs has been mentioned as a possible
compromise, but he is In no sense a can
iidate and the suggestion is entirely un-
authorized on his part.

POOR sHAD SEASON ENDS
Catch As whols the Worst for
Many Years.
Especial 10 The Jersey city News. /" |

Especial TO 'The Jersey City News."l
PENNSGROvE, June 3, 1902. After to-
days catch the shad season will be ended
for this year. The season may be term
ed good for some and poor for others. The
continued high prices have saved some of
the men from bankruptcy. AS a whole it
has been the poorest season experienced
for many years.
None of the men are able to explain
why shad are desertfng the Delaware
River Some aseribe it to the stocking
with young shad of the rivers Of the
country by the Fish Commission which
is said to operate in general distribution
of adult shad in the streams instead of
combining them to comparatively few riv-
ers, as formerly. Five years ago tile
number of shad, in pounds caught by sa-
lem county fishermen amounted to $780,
800; the next year 6.75sooo pounds were
caught. Since then the catch has been
only about 900 pounds.

FOR TWO MAINS
Mayor Thinks the Single
Hackensaek Tube In
sufficient for the
City's Needs.

Mayor Pagan and Engineer Garwood
Ferris. in charge Of the construction OF
the new water works at Boonton, We're
in consultation in the office of the for
mers this morning for almost half an hour
discussing the break i'll the water main
under the HackensacS River. The
Mayor asked Mr.. Ferris to describe the
process of repairing the break as it will
be done by the Merritt and Chapman
Wrecking Company. Mr.. Ferris told OF
the trench that is to be built to rest the
main in, and also drew diagrams Of the
Jackets that are to be built to rest the
break. He declared it would strengthen
the main and make it as good as new.
The Mayors idea in talking to Mr..
Ferris was for the purpose of ascertain
ing whether or not a double main should
be built under the river by the Jersey
City Water Supply Company construct
ing the new water works. Mr.. Ferris
explained that modern machinery would
construct one main that would answer.
The Mayor didn't appear quite satisfied
with Mr. Ferris's explanation, and said
he would urge the construction of two
mains. To have a more lengthy discus
sion on the matter. the Mayor proposes
to have conference with the water peo-
ple city engineers, the Street and Water
Commissioners and the Finance Commits
sioners.
According to the contract with the
Jersey City Water Supply Company only
one main is to be constructed under the
Hackensack River. 1t win cost more
money to build the additional main, and
the Mayor proposes to have the Finance
Board make provisions for the appropria-
ton of the necessary sum.

Rumored Big Trolley Deal

COMBINE PROBABLY 4 DREAM

Mr.. E. F. C. Young, president of the
North Jersey Street Railway Company,
was again approached by a News rep
resentative today touchin on and appcr-
tainin' to the rumored trolley deal. He
leaned back in his chair and laughed.
Somebody he said, told somebody
else abou this: I've got it straight from
Mr. Young. Now all I have TO say y
that this Mr. Young (pointing to himself;
knows nothing about it, and if the North
Jersey Street Railway Company North
Hudson County and Jersey City, Hoboken
and Paterson Road were concerned, why
don't you suppose l would know sofne-
thing about it?''
But when stockholders and stockholders
want to play football with stocks and
securities little thing like denial as
to a deal doesn't bother them, and the
consequence is that, to use the money
brokers' language, stocks were active
White Line stock and bonds have
been largely traded in locally during the
week, with net gains of half a point each.
Several large blocks were dealt in.
North Jersey stock and bonds have like
wise been in good demand, and had SIM
liar increases, while Elizabeth and PLAIN
field shares note gain Of s1s points
Where there has. or has not, been a
plan to take over these three roads, or
to practically combine them, opinion Of
business men inclines to the view that
nothing will ever come Of it based on Of

North Jersey and so for Elizabeth and
Piainfeld. One large holder of North ser-
sey has declared that his block could not
be bought under so, and that ne would
not consent to selling controlling inter-
est even at that figure
Whatever may have been planned in
the way of an upper Jersey trolley cem-
bine, therefore, is probably off-at figules

any event the breeze created served to

the temporary or other advantage of quo-
tations, notably for Elizabeth and PLAIN

WATER SUPPLY LOW
Residents on Heights Cannot
Obtain Flow Above the
First Story.

The water situation in the Heights sec
ton of the city became more serious this
morning and residents all along the brow
of the Hill, between Monticello avenue
and the Boulevard are beginning to worry
lest their supply wifi be entirely cut off.
Water in many of the homes this morn
ing could not be drawn above the first
floor where the pipes are small and even
where the pipes are large the force is
slow Again the family wash, religiously
done on Monday, year in and year out,
has to suffer, especially among the resi-
dents of upper floors. Mayor Fagan is
already in receipt oc several letters of
complaint
AS told in "The News of Saturday, the
water has been muddy and unfit to drink
for the past two weeks but it was not
until the last few days that the supply
has been low. The cause has probably
lain in the broken main under the Hack
ensack River, which furnishes water to
this section of the Heights and Green
vile, now temporarily supplied by the
Bayonne water main.
Clerk of the Street and Water Board
George T. Bouton said this morning that
the low supply of water, was due to the
fact that the fluid had to be borrowed from
Bayonne, but that there was no danger
of the supply being cut off at present.
I'VE are doing the best we cam" he
said, "and will have the broken main
fixed as soon as possible; in the meantime
the water supply will naturally be little
low"
Mr.. Boonton thought the muddy condi-
tion of the water for the last two weeks
might be due to the broken main, as it
fore the break was discovered, though
just how long nobody seems to know

TRENTON, June 8, 1902. Supreme
Court decided that the old Board of Fire

BARKER MUST
STAY IN JAIL
Supreme Court Refuses Him
a New Trial for Shoot
ing Rev. John Keller.
JUSTICE GuMMERE'S OPINION
Sustains Judge Blair Who
Ruled Out Evidence as to
the Assault by the
Clergyman.

fspecial to "The Jersey City News.D
TRENTON, June 9, 1so2.-Thomas IT,
Barker. who is now serving term IN
state Prison for shooting the Rev. John
Keller in Arlington, will have to remain
in prison. This morning the Supreme
Court refused to grant him new trial.
The opinion of the court was delivered
by Chief Justice Gummere. He first took
up the objections to the empanelling OF
the Jury, which tried Barker and sus-
tanned the rulings of Judge Blair on the
trial. The law of 1SsS he said, which
provided for the selection of jurors, does
not deprive a man of any of his consti-
tutional rights AS to the objection that
members of the National Guard, who are
exempt from jury duty, the court said
that exemption from duty was personal
right and did not disqualify man enti-
tied to it from serving as a juror.
The Chief Justice next took up the re-
fusal of the trial judge to admit on the
trial the statement OF Mrs. Barker that
Keller had assaulted her. Barker's coun-
sci contended that the statement should
be admitted as Barker had right to
shcY to The jury the motive which
prompted him to the deed, since he had
been indicted for an assault with intent
to kill. a crime in which motive would
have been an essential feature had it
been accomplished.
The court held that the intent itself
was not the distinguishing feature be-
tween murder and mans,aughter. II was
immaterial whether if accomplished the
killing would have been murder or man
slaughter since Barker was tried for
Mother.
For these reasono the Judge below did
NOT err when he refused to admit evi-
denee Of the alleged assault. The JUS
tice said there were numerous other ex-
ceptions which had all been overruled and
which would be considered in an opinion
which he would give later
