morning, after wading through the
latest intelligence from the front, she
turned to another page of the paper

LOSS TO The BAR
James W. Donelan, Jr.
Succumbs to a Complication
of Diseases General Re-
gret Expressed.

James w. Donelan, Jr., one OF the
brightest of the young legal lights Of the
city. died at his home, No. $50 Ninth
street. at 3 o'clock this morning. Death
was due TO a complication of d,seas es.
While it was known that Lawyer Don
elan was not in robust health. announce
ment of his death came as shock to
his numerous friends, who believed that
he had fully recovered from long spell
of sickness that confined him to his bed
for months nearly year ago. About
two months ago he was obliged 10 under
go an operation on the throat aud he had
not fully recovered from the effects Of it.
He was diiigent young lawyer and
one of the most popular and successful
of the younger members of the Hudson
County bar, who practiced considerably
in the criminal courts Of the city. When
Police Justice Higgins, of the First
Criminal Court. heard the announcement
of the young lawyers death he adjourned
court out of respect to his memory and
added a splendid tribute TO those paid by
Lawyers Charles Kelly, Patrick Dooley
Arthur Archibald, Thomas Griffin and
Henry Spraggins, who We're present. All
spoke of his brilliancy, ability, courtesy
and generosity of the dead lawyer. JUS
tice Higgins said that as clerk and as
Justice of the court he had always ad-
mired the ability, straightforwardness
and honesty of Mr.. Donelan as young
lawyer and as Justice of the court he
could always rely on anything Mr.. Dom
elan told him in person or on communica.
tion in the interests of his clients.
Mr.. Donelan IS survived by his widow,
who was Miss Elsie Pharo, and by his
father and mother and three sisters. His
father, James w. Donelan. Sr., is a
teacher in one Of the New York colleges
and was at one time superintendent of
the Hudson County Catholic cemeter-
les.
James w. Donelan. Jr., was born in
this city about thirty-two years ago. He
received his education in St. Michaers
parochiaI school and the Catholic Insti-
tufe on Third street AS lad he en-
tered the Office of Bedle, McGee and Be
die and studied law. He was admitted
to the Hudson County Bar in 1894 and
had since built up good reputation and
practice as a lawyer. His funeral will
take place from ST. Michaers Il. G.
Church at 10 o'clock next Monday morn
ing. 4 solemn requiem mass will be eel
ebratsd.

The Skeeters and the Royals split
even on yesterdays double header, the
latter winning the first game by score
of 10 to and the first the latter game
by score of 3 to 2. 1t was close
shave. The Montreal men had on their
swatting clothes, and the Togs of Foxy
Grandpa" Bannon, the Montreal teams
captain-manager, were especially deaf
ening. In four out Of five times at the
bat in the first game he sent the ball to
the outer field aud scored each time.
Montreal scored three runs in the open
ing inning, Bannon and +. Hartman each
touching up Clarkson for a two-bagger;
Bannon made three-bagger in the third
and doubles by Meaney and Raub, with
a pass and two errors by Bean, assisted
in giving the Royals three more, runs.
Bannon's stick work helped his team to
score again in the fifth and three more
were added in the ninth after the Skee-
ters had tied the score in the seventh.
The home team scored its first run in the
third inning and in the fifth developed a
batting streak that netted three runs.
Two more were added in the following
inning and one in the seventh. Cassidy
was put out of the game in the sixth
inning for disputing the umpires de-
cision.
Anxious to make it two straight Cap
tain Bannon shifted his men in the sec
ond game. Meaney was transferred
from right field to the box. He pitched
a fine game, keeping the Skeeters down
to five hits, whereas the Royals ham,
mered Eindaman ten times But the
Skeeters managed to wrest victory
with only half the number Of hits made
by Montreal With all their ten hits
Montreal made but one run, while the
Skeeters made two in the fourth inning.
Halligan received pass and advanced
to second on Pattee's single. Both stole
base and scored Eandergrift's drive to
right field for three bases. Raub's dou-
Bile and single by Russ gave Montreal
its only run in the seventh. Beans field
ing in the second game was admirable.
He accepted all of eight chances.

The Police Board this morning held
meeting at which the members looked
over and discussed the plans drawn by
Col Welles for new hospital. The plans
will be further discussed before the
Board orders advertisements for bids for

separate action in the matter, is merely
acting along the same lines as those of
the Board Of Health and the City Hos

acting in such harmony that whichever
body the Supreme Court may decide is
the proper one to build the new hospital
the matter now being before Court
there will be little, if any possibility Of
the project being further attacked in the
courts.

I have just discussed have not the
slightest doubt of their sincerity and

Former City Controller John s Glib
son made set address. In part he
said:-
The recent action of the Essex Coun-
ty Republican Committee, respecting the
questions of limited franchises and equal
taxation, is important only because it
diseloses a policy of double dealing and
deception, deliberately planned with the
purpose Of deceiving the voters of the
county.
That Major Lentz and his followers
have been persistent and uncomprcmis-
ing enemies of the principles of limited
franchises and equal taxation is SO easily
proved that their present pretended in
dorsement of those principles is nothing
short of burlesque.
within year Major Lentz himself
appeared before the New England So
ciety of the Oranges with the avowed
purpose of combating the effort being
made by the society for the enactment of
a, limited franchise law, and only few
weeks ago. before he recognized his mas
ter's voice in the gramophone of public
opinion he caused to be circulated thous-
ands of copies of a speech made by hims
self. which speech was largely devoted
to the derision of gentlemen whose Of
Tending was the stand they were taking
for limited franchises. And the cireula-
tion of this speech was effected BY the
use Of the very lists of the county com
mittee which have been refused to the
real friends of this worthy movement"
