His Sister Kitty Aged
Seven,

tseven-year-old Kitty Sullivan, of No.
167 Pavonia avenue, was badly burned
while playing around bonfire this morn
ing. Her nine-year-dld brother, John,
heard her screams, and looking out sec

flames. He was badly burned. But he
probably saved his sister. Both are in

SPLENDID PARADE
Demonstration in Favor of
Judge Murphy Last
Night Astonished
Republicans.
ONLYTWo WARDS MARCHED
And Still There Were Almost
As Many in Line AS at
Fagan's Whole City
Parade.

Republicans who witnessed the big pa
rade of Republicans of the entire city
Saturday night and who congratulated
themselves upon the splendid showing
made, must have been surprised and
disappointed lot of men after they had
witnessed a similar demonstration last
night on the part of Democrats. Al
though the Republican parade was COM
posed of Republicans from all the wards
OF lower Jersey City and the Bergen and
Greenville sections, it was only a few
hundred larger than that Of the Demo-
cratic parade, which was only partici-
pated in by Democrats of the First and
Fourth Wards. And as for enthusiasm,
fAe Republican parade was not to be
compared with that of last night.
Fully $500 men were in line, and it
was noticeable feature that there were
but few boys marching.
1t was eight o'clock when the parade
started and it was ten o'clock when it
disbanded. The procession marched
through the principal streets of the Sec
ton, receiving volumes of applause. The
streets were lined with people, anE MUIR
ply pictures and banners were display
ed from the widows of many homes. 1t
was a magnificent exhibition of Demo-
cratic sentiment and loyalty, and was
forerunner of what may be looked for as
the result of today's balloting.
That the Democrats in lower Jersey
City are enthusiastic in their support of
James J. Murphy was admitted by even
the most ardent Republican.
The Second Ward Democrats also
made a magnificent showing in parade
in the Horseshoe preceding the big meet
ing held in st. Ssishael's Hall. 1t was a
splendid rally, The hal7was crowded to
snfocation. Mr.. McDermott has be-
come very popular in the Horseshoe on
account of the greas lights he has made
in the interests of the residents of that
section. 1t was he who won the fight
against the Erie Railroad and>recovered
full judgment for back lscal taxes on the
Erie grain elevator, and which Mayor
Fagan compromised with the company
by allowing the company to take $149,-
OO0 OF interest money by way of eompro-
mise. Had he been retained as assist
ant counsel by Mayor Pagan he would
IN all probability won the fight of the
city for the possession of the foot of.
Thirteenth street. He again defied May
or Pagan to tell the public his reason for
vetoing the resolution Of his own Finance
Board appointing him associate counsel.
MayOralty Candidate Murphy receiv-
ed an ovation that made any Democrat
feel sure of the Democratic loyalty of
-the old Second Ward.
