STORIES OF
THE TRIP TO
CARNIVAL
Local People had Some Interest
Ing Experiences Between here
and New Brunswick.
SEVERAL ACCIDENTS.

Local people who went to the New
Brunswick carnival by trolley are tell
ing of their experiences there and
back. Some of these are more or less
amusing, while others are not. Sever
al people said they had to walk home,
because of the accommodations in
getting out of New Brunswick. Some
who left the county seat at 1880 just
got to Metcuhen in time to catch the
midnight car for Perth Amboy. They
said between Metuchen and New
Brunswick the car backed, took sid
ings and did all kinds of stunts all
the way along.
Constable O'Brien tells of assisting
in pulling a woman and child cut of
the hold of a canal boat where they
had fallen. He thought at least one
of them would be dead, but it was
not so. Coming home on the trolley
Just before reaching Metuchen, a man
fell from the car and received some
injuries. He was picked up and SEEM
ed to be all right.
Several of the larger crafts that
went up from here had little diff

carnival on account of shallow water.
Everyone says they had good time.

Declares He Cannot Talk on the
Subject Until he is Offici-
ally Notified.
IA GOOD CANDIDATE.
All Republicans, for the Good of the Party,
are Hoping he Will Run-09eIare he is
the Strongest Candidate that could be
Named-Has Excellent Recerd-Oeclar-
ed to be Republicans Best Man.

The statement made by the Perth
Amboy delegation to the Republican
county convention that the nomina-
tion of. Harry Conard, of this city,
for assembly, was complete surprise
both to the party leaders and MIR.
Conard, and that they did not know
whether he would accept, led to some
discussion in political circles as to
Mr.. Conard's Willingness to run.
Everyone is hoping he will, as far as
party success is concerned, but it was
realized that Mr.. Conard is a very
busy man and there was some doubt
whether or not he felt he could, spare
the time. When asked about the
nomination this morning Mr. Conard
had this to say:
"I have not been officially notified
of my nomination as yet, and until
such notification is received, cannot
say whether or not | will accept the
honor
When asked if he thought he would
consent to run, Mr.. Conard said 81
would not like to say anything until
I receive the nomination by official
notification.
Those who want to see one of the
best men in Middlesex county repre-
sent them in the assembly, are anxious
that Mr.. Conard consents to his name
being placed on the ticket. For a
popular candidate and vote winner it
is admitted on all sides that Mr..
Conard cannot be surpassed,

LOCAL DELEGATION
CARRIED THE DAY Y AT
COUNTY CONVENTION.
Beoubcon Deqhted With Nomination of Harry Conard for Assem-
bjv and oil are AnMous frm to John NJ Montgomery
After the Nomination for Senator and Got Seven Votes--Mr
iocksons s Nomination was Aterward Made Unanimous.

The Republican county ticket Tor
the fall election, as fixed at the con-
vention in New Brunswick yesterday,
is as follows
For senator, William II. @. jackson,
of New Brunswick.
For assemblyman, Harry Conard, OF
this city, J. H. T. Martin, of Wood
bridge, and J. Q. Frosythe, OF Dayton.
John M. Montgomery, of South
Amboy, received seven votes for the
senatorial nomination. An effort was
made to have him Withdraw but he
refused. He was offered the nomina-
tion for assembly If he would step
aside and allow MIR. jackson to be
nominated by acclamation, but still
.he Hon. John M. refused. He said
he was out for senator and nothing
would make him withdraw. When
lthe vote was taken it was found that
the South Amboy man had the five
delegates from South Amboy and two
rom Jamesburg. Mr.. jackson re-
,eiyed all the rest. He was declared
he nominee and the South Amboy
delegate then moved that it be- made
unanimous, which was done.
There were plenty of caucuses dur
ing the day. The Perth Amboy dele
cation claim that the presentation OF
Harry Conard's name was complete
surprise even to the party leaders.
The name was presented by Ira b.
Tice and, it is said, not until after l0
O'Clock yesterday morning did Robert
Carson or other leaders know of the
move. Mr.. Conard, it was said, had
not been consulted at all and, at the
time. it was a question whether or
not he would serve. The delegation,
however, wanted the nomination and
they wanted good man SO they
named Mr. Conard. If he refused to
run, the delegation made sure that
Perth Amboy would be allowed to
select his successor. 1t is the great
desire of the Republicans, however,
that Mr.. Conard shall stand, for both
his own party men and Democrats
alike declare he would maze strong
run as his popularity in this vicinity
is we'll known.
1t is understood that the Perth Am
boy delegation at first favored man
from Raritan Township for j. II. L.
Martins place and the local men stood
solid until Raritan withdrew. then
they offered to support Woodbridge.
State Assessor Theodore Strong and
w. Fl. O. jackson were the figures
around which the delegates surged as
they arrived in Association Hall.
Henry Banker, Robert Carson, Sheriff
Carman, John H. Conger, Charles
Russell and Andrew Church were also
much sought after men. Milton Edgar
seemed very much detected by his
defeat Congressman Howell was on
hand, but did not seem to be playing
any part except of spectator.
The convention was long DELAYED IN
|sIhe morning. Chairman Edgar did
call it together until after IL

Receiver Appointed and Creditors
Held Meeting Yesterday
Many Plants Concerned.
SLIGHTLY HIT HERE.
Local Financial institutions Held but Lit

System of having One Company Own

The creditors of Raymond @. Pen
field, the promoter, owner and part
owner of the various clay, clay work
ing and brick companies which were
put into the hands of a receiver by
Justice Hall in the Supreme Court on
Tuesday, had meeting with the re-
presontatives of the Continental Trust
Company, yesterday. The meeting is
understood to have been held at the
trust company's offices, 2s Broad
street, in the morning.
Nearly forty creditors of Mr.. Pen
field and his company were present.
They were headed by representatives
of several of the strongest banks IL
New York. There were also repre-
sentatives of other important banks
and trust companies from all over the
ccontry. Mr.. Penfeld's operations
extended all through the middle west
and to Mexico.
Both the First National Bank and
the Perth Amboy Trust Company hold
some of the papers of the company.
# le amounts are small, however, and
both concerns are we'll protected by
outside endorsers. 1t was stated this
morning that neither concern would
lose by the failure.
One of the smaller creditors explain
ed last night that the aggregate OF
Mr.. Penfield's companies indebted
ness was almost So, 900, 900, the facts
justified the supposition that the
whole business might be pulled out oi
the hole.
J. A. Green, although he was one
of Mr.. Penfeld's executive officers
with Robert w. Lyle, signed the
affidavits on which the petitions for a
receiver as presented to Justice Hall
were based. The affidavits made by
Mr.. Green and attached TO the petit
tions afford material for the following
schedules:
RAYMOND G. Penfield owns all the
capital stock of the Mexican Clay
Working Company of the City OF
Mexico, the American Clay Working
Machinery Company, the New York
Blower Company, the Standard Fire
Proofng Company.
The American Clay Working Ma
chinery Company owns half the capt.
tai stock of the Great Eastern Clay
Manufacturing Company, and the
National Clay Manufacturing Com
pany.
The National Clay Manufacturing
Company owns all the capital stock or
the Standard Vitrified Conduit Com
pany.
The Standard Fire Proofing Com
pany owns all the capital stock OF the
Manhattan Brick and Terra Gotta
Company and the Brooklyn Brick and
Sewer Pipe Company.
When a reporter called at the home
of J. A. Green, on Water street, treas
urer of the Penfield factory, this
morning, he was not at home.

WILL DOUBLE SIZE
OF THE BUILDING
Addition to WOOdmen Office Will
Cover Entire
Lot.

The ideas of the building commit
tee appointed to supervise the cree
ton of an addition to the Woodmen
head Office were laid before the exec
utive council yesterday afternoon and
were approved. Steps were taken
which will insure the early commence
ment of preparations to build.
The head office. with the addition
that it is now pressed to make, will be
about twice the present size, as the
entire lot east of the present head
office is to be covered, the ground
space being practically the same as
that of the old building. 1t will be
three stories in height, with high
basement, and will correspond to the
old building in external and internal
finish and arrangement. 1t will af-
ford sufficient room, it is believed, not
only to take care of the present bust
ness of the order, but will also give
space to house the records for many
years. besides accommodating addi-
tional clerks required in the growth
of the society.
The printing department will occu-
Ply the lower floor of the new part,
Whlle some OF the general OthcerS Will
probably have quarters above. None
of the details of the readiustmen in
the Office after the addition is built
have been worked out as yet.
The east part will be built separate
from the old building, a narrow pas
sage being between. There will
be an entrance. according to the pres
emf DlanS on Third avenue and The
old offices will he reached by extend
ing the rOtundas and joining them in
the middle of the buildings. The main
entrance to the head office Will remain
i'm the west building.
Head Clerk Halves was appointed
committee of one to arrange for the
sale and removal of the house and
barn that are on the lot and to adver-
tise for bids for the excavation for
the building

A valley Of Death In Bolivia.

There is valley in Bolivia, South
America. which might well be called
the Valley of the Shadow of Death. 1t
has been inhabited for an indefinite
period OF years by the Kanaa Indians,
who are kindred to the various South
American tribes and number now only
a few hundred souls. That they were
once a very powerful tribe is indicated
by the condition of the land which
they as n tribe still inhabit. One can
not travel any distance through their
land without coming upon the old and
forsaken burial grounds of the Kanaa
dead. These places cannot be called
graveyards, for the bodies are not
buried, but rather placed upon elevat-
ed platforms, wrapped in the garments
of death and bound to the crossbeams
that they may not be displaced.
In one of these burial grounds there
will be probably fifty high skeleton
platforms and on each will lie from
three TO five of the Kanaa dead. The
air in that part of Bolivia is very pure
and preservative, for it is one of the
highest plateaus of the continent, al
though Kanaa valley is just little
below the plateau's height. A traveller
passing through that land at night and
by moonlight would be awestricken at
the gloomy vision those graveyards
present.

HOPE FOR SOME RELIEF
FOR HAY FEVER VICTIMS

With today the opening of the hay
fever season is at hand. Aug. ii being
fixed as the date when one can expert
ence the discomfOrtS of the disease
with propriety. There is some hope
that the residents of this part of the
country will escape to slight degree
at least the customary fortunes. 1t
is figured that the weather will have
it's effect in rctarding polarization of
the weeds and flowers that are charg-
ed with feeding and developing the
hay fever germ and will thus prevent
to a certain degree the prevalence of
the disease.
