Jacob Phi. Goldsmith, of 324 State
street, reported to the police last
night that he had been struck on the
ose by an employe at the Staten Is
land ferry.
Mr.. Goldsmith has a broken nose
TO prove his statement, and says he
intends to have the assailant arrest

smiths side of the story, he left his
store early in the evening to deliver
a large bundle on the boat. On ac-
count of the size of the bundle he
did not go through the regular en-
trance, but went to the wagon gate
and asked permission to pass
through. The gateman, whose name
is Morris, refused, and a few words
resulted. During the discussion M,
Goldsmith claims he was hit three
times by Morris, m of the blows
breaking his nose. He says that only
for the huge bundle which was in
his arms, he could have defended
himself, but was ~powerless under the
circumstances. After the fracas,
Goldsmith threw the bundle over the
gate, and went around through the
ferry house to the boat.

OPENERS ON
STRIKE AT KEYPORT

Oyster openers employed at the J..
& J. w. Ellsworth plant at Keyport
went on a strike Monday and Monday
night threw Lee Earl, a negro, who
refused to go out, into the creek and
battered him up severely before he
was rescued. The oystermen work
by piece and claimed that a certain
gallon" measure contained more
than that quantity, owing to the
large size Of the lip and that, there
fore, they were losing money, as it
necessitated more than a gallon of
oysters to fill the measure. They
asked to have the lip of the measure
removed and, when their employers
refused to comply with the request,
went out.
The men formed an impromptu
union and sent a committee to Man
ager VanBuskirk of the plant. The
latter, refused, however, to have any
thing to say to the committee. He
asserted that If the men did not go
back to work the firm would remove
the plant. This would mean a big
loss to the residents of this vicinity,
as the plant has a payroll of about
$1,000 a week.
The opening of oysters has been
discontinued and the company will
give its attention to shipping barrel
ed oysters only for the present.

GOTTLOB UP
FOR CONGRESS-
Prominent Labor Leader Well
Known Here Nominated By Re-
publiCans in Eighth District.

NEWARK, Sept. 2S.-Henry J.
Gottlob, a printer, employed on a
, Newark newspaper. and an active
labor leader for a score of years, was
made a republican machine candidate
for congress in the eighth New Jersey
district at a convention in Newark
late yesterday afternoon. Major Will
liam H. Wiley, of East Orange, who
has served two terms as a nominee Of
| the regular" republicans, was there
| by punished by the machine of which
| Carl Lentz is the head, for having
permitted an Endorsement of his can
| didacy for q denomination by the new
| idea wing of the party to go on rec
ord without making a protest and for
falling to declare himself without
| qualification with the machine.
Soon after the Colbyites made
known that they would not oppose
| Wiley, the new aspirant for the nom
nation made a short but sharp cart
| tail campaign, appealing chiefly to
labor mel in his speeches. 1t was
reported that a deal was made by
which Gottlob was to have the nomi-
nation in place of Wiley in return for
the union labor men keeping off in
the fight of Mr.. Parker against John
S. Gibson, in the seventh district.
Some of the prominent regulars
did not favor the proposition, and
yesterday afternoon DR.. Herman G.
H. Herold, tax receiver; Robert L..
Ross and Tax Commissioner John
Howe, of Newark, openly espoused
the cause of Major Wiley.
The convention platform was a
simple Endorsement of President
Roosevelt and his administration. On
an informal ballot Wiley had 119
votes and Gottlob 1T. On the first
formal ballot, several delegates from
the second ward of Newark, of which
Carl Lentz is a resident, changed
from Wiley to Gottlob, and the vote
was Gottlob, 119; Wiley, Ill. For
ty-three East Orange delegates who
voted as a unit for Wiley, vigorously
opposed a motion to make the nomi-
nation of Gottlob unanimous, but it
was declared carried. The East Or
ange delegation then left the hall,
but was later persuaded to return to
its place.
Major Wiley said last night:
II have always been a republican,
and I am at a loss to understand why
my Endorsement by a faction of the
party should have affected by candi-
dacy. I have some personal friends
in the new idea movement, but up to
the present moment I have no official
knowledge of their Endorsement.
When the new idea conference which
took that action was held I was in
the Catskills and heard nothing ex-
cept what was in the newspapers.
Had I been informed I would unques-
tionably have thanked the league for
my Endorsement and expressed re-
grets that it did not include my col
leagues, Representatives Parker and
Senator Dryden"

THREE WOMEN ESCAPE
death IN A RUNAWAY.

SOMERVILLE, Sept. 28:-The
wife of Freebooter Richard H%oagland
was badly injured here Wednesday
night in an accident, in which two
others narrowly escaped with their
lives. The spirited animal attached
to Mrs. Hoagland's carriage became
frightened by an automobile descend
ing a hill from the Raritan river
bridge. Mrs. Hoagland was accom-
panied by her daughter, Miss Nellie,
and her aged aunt, Mrs. Harriet
Hoagland.
Miss Nellie attempted to jump
from the carriage when the horse be-
gan to rear, but caught her foot in a
lap robe and fell in the road The
horse dashed up the street, and near
the cemetery 1t fell in the road. Mrs.
Hoagland was precipitated from the
carriage and struck on her head in
the road. The animal regained its
feet and ran up Broad street to the
Central railroad crossing, where it
broke through the gates and began
a race with a moving coal train.
The aged in the meantime
crouched in the bottom of the car
rage. The horse continued to run
along the track, and was about to
meet an oncoming fast freight when
Irving Baird, a grocer's clerk, made
a flying leap and caught it by the
head and turned it from the track
when the approaching train was
twenty-five feet away. The driver of
the automobile which frightened the
horse picked up Mrs. Hoagland and
her daughter from the road and
brought them here, where they were
attended by DR.. Stillwell. Mrs. Hoag-
land was badly cut about the head.
Miss Hoagland was slightly in
jured and the aged was pros
trated from shock. The driver of the
automobile, whose name is unknown,
surrendered himself to the authori-
ties, brit was released after the occu-
pants { tho carriage declared that
he was not responsible for the acct
dent. haviIG stopped 200 feet in
front of the frightened horse.

STORM SWEEPS
GULF STATES.
New Orleans, Pensacola and
louisville Suffer- Worst Gale
in a Hundred Years.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-A special
dispatch from Louisville, KY, says
that the tropical hurricane which has
been churning the waters of the gulf
Of Mexico and doing much damage on
the coast and far inland is whipping
through north Alabama in a north
easterly direction ut a velocity but
slightly less than the forty-eight miles
an hour recorded in New orleans.
The hurricane extended over the
greater portion OF louisiana, Alabama,
Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi and
the eastern portion of Florida.
The loss of life is small, but the
damage to property is enormous. All
wire communication is seriously dis
arranged and In some instances has
resulted In cutting off cities complete
ly, Mobile, Ala, not having been heard
from for nearly t~wenty-four hours.
Numerous washouts have occurred, the
interruption from this cause in n
case extending tsirty miles.
Pensacola, where the maximum We
locity of wind was probably felt, re-
ports a property loss Of 100000.
1t was the worst sea storm and bur-
ricane that the gulf coast has expert
enced since the village Of Pensacola,
on San Rosa island, was swept away
107 year ago. 1t is reported that
many lives between the city and navy
yard have been lost.
Many streets are under from five to
ten feet of water, and many m
have been taken from second story
windows and carried to safety in
boats.
Every house in Pensacola has suffer-
ed damage, and many roofs are blown
off. Telephone and telegraph and cleo
trio light wires are among the mass.
The water front Is strewn with wreck
age for miles on either side of the city,
and vessels are piled on the wharfs or
where the wharfs once were In utter
ruin.
Big iron steamers and many lighter
sailing ships are lying high and dry
pcs N the city, where the tide has e
er before known to reach. Everywhere
wharfs for miles around have been
swept away or are damaged beyond
repair. The electric power was shut
off at 1 O'clock in the morning. There
Is no street car traffic, and communica-
ton with the outside world is prao-
tically cut off. The streets OF Pensa-
cola are strewn with timbers, tin roof
ing and broken glass.
New Orleans furnished numerous
wild rumors, but later reports from
there Indicate that while there was
considerable damage to property there
has been M loss Of life. Wires be-
tween New Orleans and the gulf are
down, and 1t may be several days be-
fore anything can be heard from the
territory between the Crescent City
and the gulf or from the shipping
which Is riding out the storm in the
open gulf. Biloxi, Miss; Mississippi
City and Moss Point, Miss, have not
been heard from for nearly twenty
four hours, Moss Point reporting the
water five feet deep in the streets.
Great apprehension is felt for the
safety of towns ON the gulf coast,
which are cut off from communication
with New Orleans.
Great havoc was wrought by the in
coming waters Of Lake P~onchartrain
On the outlying portions Of New Or
leans, the lake having risen about five
feet.
The storm Is heading northeastward
through Tennessee and Kentucky into
the Ohio valley.

searching for the head of Marhar fash

He "a taken back to headquarters,
