Daniel Fitzhenry, who was an unsuc-
cessful Republican candidate for County
Supervisor last fall and who has failed
TO impress Mayor Pagan with his inn
portance wants Health Commissioner
George NJ. Mccarthy to be the Republi-
can candidate for Mayor next fall. He
says Mayor Pagan should be satisfied
with two terms. Perhaps he should and
perhaps he is, but as he is the only Re-
publican who has a possible chance of
carrying the city, it may be that the
Republican leaders, some Of whom have
no great love for him, are more concern
ed about his candidacy than the Mayor
himself Mayor Pagan IS several thou
sand votes stronger than any other Re
publican who could be named, and that
Is one Of the reasons why there win be
no opposition to his nomination for a
third term.

A VERITABLE PITFALL.

For some days past complaints have
been pouring in upon Sidewalk Inspector
Frank p. Lehane concerning a big hole
in the sidewalk on Sthe north side of
Gregory street, near the intersection Of
Montgomery street. The hole in the
pavement leads 10 cellar and is espec-
tally dangerous at night 1t is directly
in the path traversed by hundreds and
hundreds of patrons Of the Academy of
Music. The owner of the premises is G.
P. G. Rivers, of No. 947 Market street,
Rochester. n. Y, and the agent of the
property is the firm of S. Cheney & Co,
of Manlius, N. Y.
Inspector Leblanc wrote to the owner
on March 30 last, but has received no re-
ply. He has also written to the agents
and is awaiting reply. If the pavement
is not soon mended the owner will find
himself the defendant in suit for dam
ages instituted BY some one for at least
a broken leg. Boys are seen climbing in
and out of the hole. That some one has
not yet met with serious accident by
stepping into i is almost a miracle, CON
sidering the throng asat nightly passes
over the pavement going to and from the

A big row may be looked for at the
hearing before the Board of Street and
Water Commissioners on the application
of the Erie Railroad for the vacation of
several streets in the Horseshoe section
Of the city. The railroad insists that to
make the ss,oooooO improvements that
it has in contemplation it must have the
concessions asked for. If the people of
the Horseshoe section would not approve
Of the vacation Of Barnum street, it isn't
likely that they will take kindly to this
new proposition, Indignation meetings
and the flooding Of the Street and Water
Commissioners with petitions and pro
tests against the turning over of the
several streets to the railroad will begin
in few days.

MANS THIRD TRIAL
Dressed in Grey silk the
Florodora Girl Accused Of
Her Lovers Murder
Appears In Court.

49, y 01t4A, aptt 10, IVVo.-1Nt.t
Patterson was up early this morning af
ter troubled night, and not long after
daylight was moving about in her mar
row Tombs cell carefully arraying her
self in the steel gray silk gown which
she made for her trial, and which she
intends to wear on the day the jury re-
turns with its verdict for her freedom
or conviction.
Her counsel as in the last two trials,
includes Abraham levy, Philip Wald-
heimer, Daniel o'Reilly and George
Simpson. Assistant District Attorney
Rand, with Assistant District Attorney
Garvan, has charge Of the prosecution
The girls lawyers had brief conference
with her this morning.
Not in years has interest in a murder
trial run so hight. Without adequate
police protection the small, square court
room in which it is to be conducted would
be storm centre; were it not for the
| fact that admittance is limited, there
would be a riot for places. AS it is no
one but talesmen, witnesses under sub
poena, counsel and those who have well
defined business within viii be admitted
to hear the case of each side developed
bringing out bit by bit the story of the
mysterious death of Caesar Young in a
hanson cab on West Broadway last
June.
And this trial is not likely to lag from
heart interest. The widow Of Caesar
Young. who, about to sail to Europe
with him, away from this Nan Patterson,
waited for him on the White Star Line
pier, while he was dying in hospital,
will probably take the stand to tell Of an
the unhappiness caused her by the de-
| fendant.
Whether or not the defense viii carry
out its promise and put J Morgan Smith
on the stand, which means turning him
over to Mr.. Rand for cross examination.
/ is still an open question Of how much inn
portance those letters of the Smiths,
seized in Cincinnati, are, no one but the
lawyers and the Smiths can tell.
In pursuance of the writ issued by Jus
tiee Gaynor to the Smiths counsel, Her
bert Ilimburger. Mr. Rand turned over
bundle of papers yesterday afternoon;
! but as Mr.. jerome persuaded Justice
Gaynor to modify the order directly af-
terward, no one seems able to say
whether or not the District Attorney still
retains the most important eveidence.
Assistant District Attorney Cans said
in Court yesterday that he understood
that certain of the letters were of value
as evidence to the prosecution. The law
| yers for the defence, however, deny this.
Lawyer Limburger had two details Of
the case. in connecting with the con-
spiracy charges against the Smiths TO
consider before Judge Foster in Part Z
this morning. One of them was his re-
quest to argue motion to inspect the
i Grand Jury minutes, and the other was
the request that the District Attorney be

ment. Judge Foster had promised de-

The Jersey City Water Supply Com
pany says the new water plant that Jer-
sey City is soon TO acquire is completed.
Engineer Garwood Ferris says the
Water Company is wrong. He insists
that while the plant may be ready it is
not in such condition chat the city should
accept it.. He declares that the specif-
cations have not been fully complied
with. This means that fhere is lot of
work ahead for the lawyers that are adj
vising the municipal authorities in the
water matter This isn't the only hitch
that may defer the acceptance by the city
of the new works. News COMES from
Trenton that defects have been disecv-
cred in the Duff bond bill that makes it
absolutely worthless and that Governor
Stokes viii have no alternative except to
veto it. Next October is the date set for
the acceptance of the new plant. It looks
now as if a year or more will pass before
the city obtains control.

SOME HUDSON CITY EXAMPLES

The following letter describes some Of
the alleged methods used in the construc-
tion of buildings in this city:
Jersey City, April 13, 1905.
To the Editor of the Jersey City News:
Dear Sir:-Will you kindly give the
following matter as much publicity in
your paper as you may deem proper.
| believe that the following matter
relative to the class of building done by
several of the speculative contractors in
Jersey City is detrimental to the COM
munity at large and something should
be done to stop it.
The undersigned is not looking for no
toriety, and therefore asks you to with
hold his name.
There are now in course of erection
three two-story frame houses situated in
the Hudson City section.
The foundations are of blue stone
which were built direct on frozen earth
and most of the work was done in freez-
ing weather and very poor quality Of
mortar was used. The result has been
that some Of the foundation walls col
lapsed but were since rebuilt. The re-
naming walls are in bad shape Some
are buckled out of alignment and out Of
level Although the contractor has since
slushed up and pointed the joints. he
cannot conceal the fact that the walls
are still dangerous.
Another danger is the chimney con-
struetion. The law reads that all franz
ing of wood such as floor beams. head
ers and trimmers should be constructed
so that the framing should be eight
inches from the inside face Of the fue,
and the hues should also be lined with
terra Gotta. In no case has the law been
complied with, in these houses The
framing is only four inches from the in-
side of the fue. The iues are there
fore very dangerous and are liable to
cause fire. 1t is a very common trick
to put in a piece of terra Gotta where the
stove rings come but not even this has
been done. Sometimes the contractors
put in a piece or so from the top of the
chimney in order to mislead the inspect
or.
Since the chimneys have been built
terra Gotta lining has been brought to
the building, but it viii be impossible
to put it in unless the chimneys are ta-
ken down and rebuilt. In some of these
houses the fiues have been made smaller
than is customary on account Of the spac-
ing of the beams.
The floor beams are usually spaced six
teen inches from the center of one beam
to the center of the next, as these beams
are two inches in width, the space be-
tween the beams is only fourteen inches.
In these fourteen inches, the fiues have
been crowded. Ordinarily these 1ues
measure sixteen and one-half inches out
side measurement. 1t il therefore inn

WHERE DISEASE Germs BREEl
NO Need to Fear Germs" if the s+o,,
Healthy. Be

The ideal breeding place for disease
germs is weak stomach and digestive
system. The food, instead Of being assim-
Hated, turns into a sour, shiny, fermenting
mass, causing gases, distress after eating,
bloating, nausea and fatulency. The
poisonous germs that are given off from
this undigested food enter the blood, and
boils and blotched skin is the re-
suit. Nervousness and sleeplessness come
more often from weakened digestion than
from any other one cause.
