QUARREL OvER STOVE.
Claimed the one Delivered was
Not as Handsome as the one
Selected.

Tuesday afternoon small crowd
collected in front of a second hand
furniture store on State street near
Smith. They found Hungarian man
and woman and the Jewish proprietor
Of the place engaged in dicusssion
more emphatic than diplomatic. 1t
seems that the Hungarian and his
wife had purchased stove called the
Magnetic X-Ray and had paid for it.
The stove delivered, they said, was
not the one purchased and as the one
purchased was much more elaborate
than the one delivered, there was
trouble and the ensuing discussion
between purchaser and dealer drew
attention because of its warmth.
There were due threats made, dark
hints at broken heads and the like.
An officer sauntered up and the trouble
ended. The election day crowd went
off disappointed. They wanted to SEE
a fight. Yesterday morning wagon
came with stove and took away an
other. The matter is settled, appar-
emily.

Mistake in South Brunswick Gives Him 180 In
stead of 108--He is Elected by.a Good Ma

the Republican Club.
pFEIFFERS' MAJORITY.
Carried Every Ward with the Exception of
the Fonrth-ls 58I Ahead OF Adam Eek.
ert the Democratic Candidate Received
Many Credits Everywhere-Republican
Club to Flan for Future.

Dr. f. y. Henry, the local candidate
for assembly, on the Republican ticket,
is second man, being surpassed only
by Alexander r. Fordyce, of Dayton.
Mr.. Cannon, the local man on the
Democrat ticket, led his ticket
throughout but not enough to elect
him. DR.. Henry was not credited
correctly in South Brunswick town
ship. All the newspapers of the
county had him 10S from the first poll
there. The figures should have been
1870. This puts DR.. Henry higher than
either Mr.. Martin or Mr.. jackson.
The vote in this city shows that
Henry has a majority of 274 over
Cannon, the highest man on the
Democratic ticket. DR.. Henry's vote
was 1887 while Gannon's was 1412
Martin got 1886 votes with 1913 major
ity, and Fordyoe got 1915 or 202
majority. Pearse got 1877 votes and
Quack got 1864.
: Pfeiffer, for alderman at large,
carried all the wards in the city ex-
cepting the Fourth. His majority
over Adam Eckert is 591.
The Perth Amboy Republican Club
is receiving most of the credit for the
Republican victory in this city. today.
That it served the party we'll there is
no doubt and the club will continue
an organization for work in the
future. The club, before election,
had ward committees appointed and
these in turn divided each ward into
blocks with a captain over one or
more of them. Each man was held
responsible and as result the Repub-
llcan vote was brought out it great
shape. 1t was organization that
counted. A meeting of the club will
be held in a day or two when the
plans for the future will be discussed.
The club hopes to be still stronger at
the election next year.

For Several Months 1t has been Dull in this
City Owing to the Small Shipments Of
Coal = Prospects of better Times
Ahead-Citles Must be Supplied and
Business Picks up For Winter.

There is every prospect that the
Lehigh Valley docks will be working
full time by Monday morning. This
seems very probable from the fact
that the mines in Pennsylvania from
which coal is supplied for shipping
at the docks, began on full time yes
terdaY and many of the men in this
city, who had been laid off while the
work was slack on tile docks, have
received orders to report at the usual
hour Monday
For the last three months most of
the employees of the Lehigh Valley
railroad in this city have been work
ing but three days week. Some who
were laid off found work in other
places, but they will all be glad to
come back to the docks again.
When f. o. PIerson, the terminal
shipping agent at the Lehigh Valley
docks, was asked by News reporter,
if the docks were to start full time.
6ay 1sald that ne
answer any questions in regards to
the matter. Al the present time, he
said, he had no means of knowing.
Mr.. Plerson admitted that the coal
mines had commenced operation.
Many of the employees have received
orders to return to work tomorrow
and one of them told a reporter that
they expected to work not only full
time but considerable overtime, for
New York and surrounding cities are
demanding their winter supply of
coal, and as the Lehigh has not shipped
coal of any account from either this
city or Easton for some months, it
will be great hustle night and day.
The strike of the fifty trackmen has
been peaceably settled as was foretoid
in the Evening News and yesterday
morning they returned to work.

Keep the Balance Up.

It has been trnthfully s,lid that any
disturbance of the even balance of health
causes serious trouble. Nobody can be
too careful to keep this balance up
When people begin to lose appetite, OF
to get tired easily, the least imprudcnce
brings brings on sickness, weakness OF
debility. The system needs tonic
Graves it, and should not be denied it;
and the best tonic of which we have any
knowledge is Hoods sarsapariila. What
this medicine has done in keeping healthy
people heolthy, in keep up the even bal
ance of health, gives it the same distinc-
ton rs preventive that IL enjoys as a
cure. It's early use has illustrated the
wisdom of the old saying that stitch
in time saves nine. Take Hoods for ap-
petite, strength and endurance.

YOUNG Fellow Named Warren Steals
a.Hlare From Stables at Seymour
and Sells Her to a Party Here.

An iron-gray mare, belonging to T. E.
\ StaInaler, Of Seymour station, Lewis
! county, was stolen from his stables
: Tuesday night and all trace was lost of
] her until the trail leading toward Clarlxs-
burg was discovered.
The next morning after the theft a
young man giving his name as n. D.
Barrett and his residence as Mt. Clare,
sold the animal here to Frank Reynolds,
Including the bride and saddle. which
had also been stolen, for $3.50. That
evening Mr.. Reynolds sold the mare to
John w. Stuart for SIS. Both trans
actions were legitimate and great was
the surprise when they learned that they
had been doing business with stolen
property. Stalnakcr's father, S. Stall
maker, came TO the city Friday evening
and identified the mare rs the one that
had been stolen from his son. BE made
affidavit before Squire James n. David
that the horse, saddle and bride belong
ed to his SON. After this had been done,
Mr.. Stuart, being convinced that the
mare had been stolen, surrendered her
to Mr.. stalnaker, and Mr.. Reynolds gave
up the saddle and bride.
It turns out that the fellows name is
Warren, and not Barrett, as he gave it
to Mr.. Reynolds. He resides at Sey-
mOtir. but has been away the past three
months working at railroad camp. He
CAME through here Tuesday evening, and
running across . Mr.. Reynolds, he told
him about the mare, fully describing
her and requested him to buy her, as he
had no use for her. He told Mr.. .Rey-
nolds that he had paid 500 for her and
was willing to take $40 for her. Ninety
dollars had been paid for the mare, but
it was by Mr.. Stalnaker, who purchased
her three months ago, and before Warren
left Seymour to work on the railroad.
Wednesday morning, while Mr.. Rey-
holds was milking COW at his home,
Warren rode up with the mare and tried
to sell her. Reynolds did not care about
buying her, but after Warren had in
sisted long time, he gave him s. in
money and a check for $3.50 for her
and the saddle and bride. Warren stay
ed around the city until the banks open
ed for the day and got the money on
the check, signing It in the name of
d. D. Barrett, the same he had told Rey-
nolds. He disappeared after that and
has not been seen since.
Warren is ncighbor Of stainaker, re-
siding close to his home. It is evident
that he had the theft planned for some
time. It is stated that he is wanted IN
Lewis county upon the charge of forg-
ing several checks also.
