STEVEN MARTIN

The sudden sickness and death or
MIR. Steven Martin Thursday morning
was a shock to the citizens of this
borough and his many friends and
relatives. Knowing Mr.. Martin as a
mere neighbor I can hardly find words
to express my sincere regard for him
as a man. Always polite, kind and
sympathetic, a gentleman in every
sense of the word and a sincere friend.
To his workmen, patient IN every try
ing moments, c%ondoning many a fault
and in his home life one of the dear
est and most devoted of husbands and
fathers.
There is where the blow has fallen
most heavily. His family almost
worshipped him. He never spoke
a cross word to them and now they
almost Frustrated with grief and know
not where to look for comfort. Where
ever they gaze, they see the work OF
his hands. The garden that he took
such pride in and where he worked
early and late, is II of the most
stricking evidences of his active life.
Never idle, working side by side with
his men though, as a superintendent,
he was not expected to do so.
Mr.. Martin was a carpenter by trade
at South River and at one time
Justice of the Peace in Washington,
N. J. During the Rebellion he was
a captain ON the steamboat Long
Branch" employed by the government
for the transportation of soldiers most
notable of which was the transporta-
ton of the 2Sth Regiment of New
Jersey across the Acquice Greek prior
to their engagement at the battle of
fredericksburg.
In 1881 he ran for assemblymau.
Postmaster Roddy raj against him
and has defeated. Mr.. Martin served
two terms in the New Jersey legis-
lat9re and made a very satisfactory
as1emblyman.
HE also served a term of three years
In the council of the borough of South
Amboy and ten years as superintend-
emit of water works. He interested
himself in many things for the good
of the borough, being one of the first
TO advocate instituting Thompkins
Home for the poor of this borough.
Mr.. Martin has been a member of
the knights of Pythias for about
twenty years. He loved the order.
He was a Past Chancellor Commander.
In his death the borough has lost
one of its most respected citizens and
faithful officials. To the bereaved
family we extend our deepest SYM
pathy. Mr.. Martin died Thursday
morning about IL O'Clock. All of the
members of his family were with him.
He was conscious and mentioned
them all by name during the morning.
He leaves a widow, three sons and
two daughters. The funeral will take
place Sunday afternoon at l.3O from
the house and 3 O'Clock from Christ
church. Intermeut will be made in
Christ church cemetery. Stillwell
and Mason are funeral directors.
The busy hands are quiet now,
The lines of care smoothed from his
brow,
His life's work done,
The goal he won,
Just ct the setting of the sun
OF llfe's bright day.
In yonder bright blue sky, t
A bow of promise fays-he did no
die:
His soul in Paradise
Pleads with thee BE wise,
The sun IN splendOr yet Will rise
And send to thee a golden ray.
Higher than darksome grave dwell.
With me, beloved ones, all is we'll.

FIREMEN WANT PAY.

The volunteer firemen of Staten
Island are now talking of trying to
force the city of New York to pay
them for their services. A law went
into effect six years ago which avs
that all volunteer firemen shall be
paid, but nothing has ever been done
to have it enforced.

NOW THE TIME TO FIGHT.
The Farmers Alliance Will Have Delegates
at Rocky Mount.

Mr. T. b. Parker secretary of the Farm
ers' Alliance. who has just returned from
Hillsboro, says that he is deeply interest
ed in the farmers meeting at Rocky Mount
on Friday, and that the Alliance will have
a committee there, Prof. John Graham, 7.
NJ Green DR.. j. f. Person and himself.
He believes that united effort on the
part of the farmers will do much to solve
the present serious problem. Speaking OF
the boycott Of the trust goods he says:
Il usually do not believe in the boycott.
If everyone was to refuse to buy the
products of the American Tobacco Com
pany. they would have no need to buy
any more tobacco, and we would lose our
largest customer. He who is not for us is
against us, and rs stringent measures
should be applied to the farmer who re-
fuses to join in this fight and stand
shoulder to shoulder with us as to the
trust l would not destroy the American
Tobacco Company if it were in my power
to do so, for it is our largest buyer; Meth
er would / allow it to stifle competition.
The thing for us to do is to strengthen
our own forces so the trust cannot break
through. That may require the heroic
measures spoken of"
Mr.. Parker, in discussing the report that
the American Tobacco Company had a
very large amount of tobacco in reserve,
said that if the company did not want
the present crop it could not be pushed
on them, but if they need it. they should
pay the value of it. He holds that sd
bare market for few months would
throw light on the situation. A refusal
to plant another crop until the present is
sold at living prices would also be an eye.

with meat and hay and grain. A crop Of
that might be as remunerative as anything
we could plant. I think meetings similar
to the Rocky Mount meeting should be
held in nearly every tobacco-especialy

State. South Carolina and Virginia and
the farmers urged to stand together in this
fight for better prices for tobacco. Now
is the time to make the fight

That is the Ticket Ne braska Republicans Want
in 1904
(By the Associated Press.)

Lincoln, Neb August 1S-Nebraska Re-
publcans in State convention today noml-
mated the following ticket:
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court,
John b. Barnes, of Madison county.
Regents of the State University, Charles
S. Allen, of Lancaster, and W. G. Whit
more, of Douglas.
The unexpected feature of the conven
ton was the adoption by unanimous vote
of resolution declaring John L. Webster,
of Omaha, one of the delegates to the con-
vention, and one of the well known party
leaders of the State, to be the choice Of
Nebraska Republicans or Vce-I resident
in 1904. The resolution was offered just
after the convention was about to adjourn,
and was adopted with enthusiasm. Mr..
Webster expressed his thanks for the
honor in a speech of considerable length.
President Roosevelt was indorsed for re-
nomination a courageous Republican
President, who knows no fear, who courts
no favor, but who loves peace crowned
with honor, and in whose charge we have
a feeling of perfect safety and security.
The platform congratulates the party on
the overthrow of Organism In its native
State. and that there is no permanent
place in American politics for political
leader who bases his claim for popular
support upon the failure or disappont-
ment of the people. The platform adhercs
to the American protective policy, Iavors
legislation for the promotion of American
shipping. opposes combinations for sitting
competition and refers to the general pros
perity as foretold to follow the election
of Mckinley.

lazily at their moorings inside Sandy
Hook tonight ready for the international
contest for the Americas cup, the first
race of which will be sailed on Thurs
day The day was one of exceeding IN
terest to all directly interested in the

ing and Charles d. Mower, the official
treasurer of the New York Yacht Club,
stretched his steel tape from truck to
deck and from end of the boWsprlt to
tie after overhang of 10th racers.
As one result about eight inches of the
end of the spinnaker boom of the Sham
rock III were sawed off, owing to the fact
that it was estimated to be that much
longer than the base of the forward tri-
angle, which covers the head sails of the
yacht, which would mean penallzation, if
allowed to stand After the measurement
both yachts were towed to Sandy Hook.

TO MEET AT JERUSALEM.
Mr. Broughton Delighted With His Trip to
Winona Lake.

Mr.. N 3. Broughton, who has just re-
turned from the great Sunday Schol Con
ference at Winona Lake, Indiana, is most
enthusiastic about the meeting.
He describes the place as singularly
attractive one and tells of the great crowd
and the perfect order maintained. There
were representatives present from thirty
two States and a number of the provinces
of Canada, some three or four thousand
people being present. The work done was
such as to build up the Sunday school
cause.
During the meeting final preparations
were put in shape for the fourth of the
worlds Sunday School conventions. This
meets in Jerusalem in 1904, and from this
country there will go on March 9th, 1901,
one great steamer with 800 people, of
whom 500 have already engaged passage.
Delegates are apportioned to the various
States, fifteen being to North Carolina
from which ten have already engaged pas
sage, this costing from $500 to $500 Cor
the entire trip of seventy-two days.
Mr. Broughton finds that there is
great forward movement in Sunday school
work, and that the meeting at Winona
emphasized this. Mr.. S. M. Smith, the
general secretary of the North Carolina
Association also attended the meeting,
and was heard with great interest when
he told of Sunday school work in North
Carolina and of the Sunday school tour
party of last spring.

THE RUSSIAN SQUADRON.
May Even Now be Off the Turkish Coast The
Turks Ignorant of the Move
(By the Associated Press.


Constantinople, Aug. 18.-The Russian
squadron of Warships, which left Sebasto-
POL yesterday Is expected to arrive off the
Turkish coast this afternoon to support
the demands made on Turkey by Russia,
in connection with the ASA ssination
August of NJ. Rostkovski the Russian
consul at Monastir. The fact that Rus
STA is about TO make a naval demonstra-
tion in Turkish waters has been kept q
profound secret here, the public being
entirely ignorant of the Russian move.
The notification received here of the
sailing of the squadron was an unwelcome
surprise to the Turkish government
which had pretended to believe that the
Rostkovski Incident had been closed with
the punishment of the guilty parties.
The most recent advices received here
from Monastir were forwarded Sunday
night and announced that the fighting be
tween the insurgents and Turkish troops

that many refugees from nelghborlng VII

THEY RACE THURSDAY
The Reliance and Shamrock
the Third Measured.
Shamrock viii he Allowed One Minute and
Forty-iye Seconds Over Thirty
Mile Course.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, August 1S.-The Reliance
and Shamrock III were measured today
in the Erie Basin by G. E. Mower, the
official measurer of the New York Yacht
Club. AS the result of his measurements
and calculations, it was announced to-
night at the yacht club that the Reliance
would allow the challenger one minute
and forty-fve seconds over a thirty mile
course.
1t was found that the Shamrock III
was slightly longer on the water line
than the American boat, but the latter
proved to have nearly two thousand more
square feet of sail area than the challen-
ger and it was this enormous sail spread
that taxed the American boat so heav
lily.
The announcement of the time allow
ance in favor of the challenger caused
little surprise at the yacht club, as 1t
was the very general belief that the Re
lance would prave considerably larger
all around than her opponent. The fol-
lowing are the official figures;
