Hose Co. of Railway ana Takes
Its Medicine.
Headed by section of the Norris
town Drum Corps, Humane Engine
Company marched to the Lackawanna
station on Wednesday evening to meet
Franklin Hose Company, No. 2, of
Railway, which arrived on the 7.2S
train.
The visitors were escorted to the
Humane's S quarters on Speedwell ave-
nue., where collation. was served to
put them in condition for the stirring
scenes to follow. This preliminary
effort disposed of, the companies took
up the line Of march for Leonard's
bowling alleys on Speedwell avenue.
During the long-existing friendly
intercourse which has ruled with
these companies the subject of what
is termed athletic sports has found
favor, resulting in arranging for a
bowling match between the seasoned
veterans of Franklin and the undis-
ciplined tyros of Humane, and at the
close of the evenings work the bird of
victory perched on the shoulders of the
visitors. Three teams from each COM
pany were selected and the Franklins
took two out of three games. The
victors were materially aided by the
home teams, which were graciously
inclined toward the manufacture of
'poodles, a species of visual obliqui-
ty consisting in mistaking the cutters
for the alley beds. The scores are
appended:

Mrs. Raymond Browns Lecture

A large audience greeted Mrs. Ray
mond Brown who gave a reading from
"Parsifal", illustrated by selections
on the piano at the Friday Evening
Club last Friday night. Mrs. Brown
displayed wonderful technique on the
piano and her reading was given in
the most dramatic style.
DR.. Charlton T. Lewis, president OF
the club, took occasion after the read
ing to express in beautiful rhetoric his
definition of music which he said was
that borderland between the intellect
and the senses where passion melts
away into sweet harmonies and feeling
is transformed into serene thought. .

Practical Opening Of the 1904
Session. Candidates for
Vacant Offices
LEGISLATION NOW PROPOSED
Bills Presented on Monday Evening
for all Sorts and Glasses of Legi=la-
ton, Public, Private and Neuter.
Bill to Validate the Acts of the State
Board of Taxation. Legislation for
Firemen Looked For.

Considerable preliminary discussion
of certain bills was held on Monday
afternoon prior to the conyening of
the Legislature in the evening at an
informal dinner given by Governor
Murphy at his home, to which were
invited President Wakelee, Speaker
Avis, Senator Cross and Assembly
man Colby, Republican leader of the
House. Attorney-General McCarter
had been invited, but was unable to
reach there in time.
The principal and serious question
discussed was the acts of the State
Board OF Taxation whether or no a
recent act Of the Legislature had not
legislated this board out of existence,
the question having arisen pending
decision in Sussex county in which the
Zinc Company was deeply concerned,
A bill validating the acts was decided
on and introduced by Senator Cross
during the evening session of the
Senate.
Other subjects discussed related to
vacancies caused by retiring incum-
bents of certain offices, among which
were the reappointment of William
H. Vredenburgh, of Monmouth, as
lay Judge of the Court of Errors and
Appeals to succeed himself. Judge
Vredenburgh has been reappointed.
Supreme Court Justice Bennett
Van Syckel OF Mercer, win probably
be reappointed.
The appointment of a successor to
Robert S. Green as a member of the
State Board of Assessors was also
discussed. The law requires the
appointment of Democrat. Ex-
Senator Lewis j. Martin, of Sussex,
and Robert f. Stockton, Of Mercer,
are the principal competitors, with
the chances slightly in favor of the
former. Ex-Mayor Seymour, Of
Newark, Francis B. Lee, of Mercer,
and Frederick Parker, of Monmouth,
are also in the field. Mr.. Seymour Is.
great friend of Governor Murphy'ss
and it is possible he may receive the
appointment.
Successors to p. /. Meeker Dem. J,
Of Essex, as State Railroad Commits
sioner, and John j. Farrell (Dem.),
of Essex, as Riparian Commissioner,
will also have to be appointed.

The Old, old story.

There was lively row in Flagler

several Italians, whose names could
not be learned. The story told is that
two men quarreled over a sweetheart.
During the discussion one drew a

neck and hand, while the other re-
sorted to throwing huge stone which
struck the assailant in the head max
ing deep wound. On Tuesday An
tonic Giordano was arrested by the
police for being disorderly. 1t is not
known that he was connected with
the fight. Justice Cliff fined him 81.

HIS NAME IS HARDING

What was apparently another at
tempt at suicide occurred last night
and but for the promptness of a dis
penser of liquids it might have been a
successful one.
The would be suicide G. F. Harding,
for some time employed by Fillmore
and Slade, and married man, who
resides on Beach street. Mrs Hard
ing is employed at the Prouty Inn and
as she is of proposing appearance it
is said, has been a good deal admired
but ABSOLUTELY nothing derogatory to
her character was even whispered.
Those who know the couple say that
Harding was jealous and that a few
days ago he threatened that he would
shoot her, and then make way with
himself
On other occasions he had declared
that he was about ready to die, but
no one paid much attention to what he
said.
Last night the two are said TO have
had some words. He went into Berj-
erons saloon, called for a glass of
beer, and as soon as it was handed
him, he poured a bottle of laundnum
into it.
George Weeks saw him pour the
stuff out, grabbed the mmnler emP'-
ed the portion into tie waste pipe, and
bounced Harding out before he got
chance TO get outside of any.
Harding went home, and this morn
ing is said to be thankful that he did
not succeed in making way with him
self.
The Hardings came from Greenfield,
Mass, about three months ago. Mrs
Harding is we'll spoken of by all who
know her, and none believe that he
has any reason for his jealousy.
Those who know him say that he is
apparently little off when excited.

nine of being nominated.

to Parker and West Virginia chang
ed three giving him just exactly 667

from the comm and the speeches
and seconds took all night,
The platform was - adopted with
out debate.
The convention has agreed upon what
is probably the most remarkable plat
form ever adopted by political party
on the eve of national campaign.
The platform contains no reference
to the money question one way or the
other. II was agreed by the members
of the committee who were In control
of the situation that there should be
no reference TO either gold or silver.
and after hours of wind iamming and
fervid oratory ii was decided to ignore
the money plank entirely.
The members of the committee as
they emerged from the meeting room
said that while they were not entirely
satisfied with the document il was the
best they could do.
Mr. Bryan said THE platform is not
such as we all want, but one that we
all agreed to-"
"WiD you support the platform and
the candidateY" he was asked.
Il will support the platform, but you
know the candidate has not been nam
