Game Postponed
BALTIMORE WON AGAIN

BY hammering out four safeties in the
eighth inning yesterday the Jersey City
team defeated the Buffalo team in a
close contest, the score a the end of the
game standing 2 to l. The game was
free of the usual chickering's between the
two rival champion teams, and mainly
one between the pitchers-Jones fer Buff
falo and Lindeman for Jersey City. The
Skeeters were unable to do a thing with
Jones until the eighth, and then What
Happened to jones' is now matter of
history, Jersey City holding its position
undisputed at the top of the heap and
Buffalo another game shy of its effort
to crawl back into the first division.
Both teams played a fawless game.
Mattress and Brockett of Buffalo each
accepted many chances and missed fire
on none. Buffalos lone tally was scored
in the fourth inning on McAllister's ter
rife drive to the right field for three bags
and Murphy's single. The visitors made
a desperate effort to add to their score in
the eighth. but sharp fielding by the
Skeeters prevented them from doing so.
Jones made safe bunt and went to
second base on Gettman's sacrifice. Mil
Ter famed Delehantv sent hot one
to Pattee, but reached first. moving
Jones to third. 1t was glorious outlook
for victory, but McAllister sent an easy
fly to Keister and doHsed Buffalo's glim-
mer. In the jerseys half of the eighth
the fans shouted that it was almost time
something was doing. The players
thought so too. ssWally'' Woods land
ed the ball safely in centre field.
Vandergrift landed it for base in right
field Woods reached third on it. Lin
deman also put the ball in right feld,
sending Woods home. but went out him
self in his ambition to stretch it for two
bases. Clement sent long fly to centre,
but Gettman got it. With the score
tie and Vandergrift touring Joe Bean
with wicked gleam in his eye, swatted
the ball over second base and seat Van
dergrift home with what proved to be
the winning run, for Buffalo was easily
ratired in the ninth

ception by Pontiac Club

Archibald NJ. Henry, the prospective
Democratic Mayoralty candidate, attend
ed last nights meeting of the Pont ac
Club at No. 391 Montgomery street and
was accorded a splendid ovation. He
made a speech in which he tsked the
members to give him their undivided sup
port, in return for which he promised
that if elected Mayor, and he had every
reason to believe that he would be. he
would give the city All honest, straight
forward business-like administration.
Counsellor Joseph Tumulty made a
speech in which he euiogized Mr.. Henry
as a successful business man, thoroughly
alive to the needs of the city. and one
capable of giving the city just such an
administration as he promised. Peter Ell.
James also spoke in Mr.. Henry's behalf,
as did Frank Donnelly. candidate for
Street and Water Commissioner from
the Fifth Ward, who also put in word
for himself.
City Hospital Trustee Andrew j. Pie
dan alluded to the recent reorganization
of the Hospital Trustees. During the
course of his remarks he said that he and
Trustee yogel had been practically ex-
cluded from caucus at which it was de,
cided to make DIR. Shera president of the

how about Vogel for president, and that
afterwards DR.. Shera was called inside
the Mayors Office and he and Vogel were
left outside for thirty-fye minutes and

Shera had been decided upon for presi-
Edent Of the Board.

1Ir. Phelan said he had been practically
asked by Mayor Fagan on a former oc-
casion TO vote for a resolution taking
81 500 off Longs salary for services as
architect without being allowed to exam
inc the resolution. He said he originally
voted against Long for architect, but af-
| ter he was selected he found no occasion
to find fault with his services and that
was why he refused to vote for firing
him at the recent meeting of the Board
of Trustees. Mr.. Phelan said he was
out for Henry red-hot.

MERELY
MENTIONED

Although elected by the people and
sworn to protect their interests, 1presi-
dent Brock, of the Board Of Aldermen,
who by virtue of his Office is a member
of the Board Of Finance. was not per-
mitted by Mayor Fagan's appointiye
members of that Board to have any part
in the making of the tax budget. Even
when he asked President Ringle fer in-
formation which he thought as a mem
Der of the Board he ought to have, If was
refused him.
Il won't give yon any Information"
said Mr.. Ringle, in reply to Mr.. Blocks
request that certain sums placed ilh the
budget be explained. This seems to be
carrying politics a bit too far. Mr..
Brock is responsible to the people while
the other members of the Board are re-
sponsible only to Mayor Pagan whb ap-
pointed them. If the budget was pre-
pared in the hope of furthefing Mayor
Fagan's interests the people ought to
know it and Mr. Brock as their only rep
resentative in the Board should not have
been ignored. 1t is a fine state Of affairs
when a public official because he il not
of the same political faith is not permit
ted by his colleagues to take part iI pro-
ceedings calling for the expenditure Of
large sums Of monies to be raised by the
people whose chosen representative he is.
Mr.. Brock had no Official knowledge that
the budget was in course of preparation.
The only information he had was given
him by the newspapers. Justly indig
nant at the unfair trea tment accorded
him. Mr.. Brock refused to put his sigma
ture to the budget in the making of
which he had no part. And yet, when
he took occasion to condemn such meth
DDS, President Ringle accused him of
talking for political effect. Is there any
wonder the people are anxiously await
ing for election day to put business men
and not politicians in charge of munici-
pal affairs?

SUITS AGAINST CITY.
April IL and June 23. 1905, suits were
brought By the East Jersey Water Com
pany against the city to recover 500, ,476
alleged to he due for water supplied un-
der the original contract.
The complainant alleges that the de-
PENDANTS sannot convey to the city the
whole of the new system, and also that
they cannot deliver to the city COM
pleted operating plant free from polu-
tion. These claims are based on the fol-
defendants are not the owners of the
land oyerfia we'd by the Boonton reser-
yoir; second. because they have not ac-
quired from the Morris Canal and Bank
ing Company water from above the
Boonton reservoir; third, because they
have not acquired riparian rights on the
Rockaway River above Boonton in order
to prevent the pollution of the water sup
ply; fourth, because they have not OBJ
tanned the consent of the property own
ere below the Boonton dam for the diver
sion of water which might flow past
their lands. 1t was also claimed the
works are not constructed according to
contract.
The complainant claims it should not
pay the sum of $685. .00o, because it is
entitled to reeoup the damages suffered
by the delay il construction. 1t is held
the defendants should deliver the water
works to the city, in order that the city
uag make a test of the plant.
The court is asked to decree that the
defendants convey to the city as much of
the plant as it is able TO convey, upon

consideration as the court may determine
to be due. Which sum the complainant
says it is willing to pay.
