SULPHIDE'S LETTER.

My DEAR Mr.. DuGAL: You should
tarry with us longer before slashing
into county politics. What you don /
know about us White PinerS would fill
a book yes, two Of EN-. You say that
the newcomers will crowd the "old
timers" to the wall in year or two.
Not much Jimmie. Not if the "old
timers" (and some Of them are pretty
young and spry) dom fall asleep,
You talk very knowingly of the race
for Recorder Now, Jimmie. let me
tell you something. There is only one
man in the ield-and that is VIII Nc
Knight. Mr. Garaghan ran independ-
against d Democratic nominee two
years ago and therefore couldn't go
before Democratic convention that
would be too much.
Will Mcknight is a White Pine boy,
born and bred here. We know his
record rom the time his mother rocked
his cradle in Hamilton. He is a clean,
courteous, manly chap-a good friend
and an honest man, and he is com
petent to fill the office.
We White Piners are not running
after the "hand shakers" the poll
ticans with the "glad hand" and the
icy heart. We want real, genuine
man as Recorder, and Will Mcknight
is that man.
Ny tent mate, who is with me as |
write, don't think you will print this,
butt do.
Yours Respectfully.

all right politically and otherwise, but
being q stranger here | am of the i'm

What he says about me filling two

TO CONDEMN
PARDEE LAND.
CITY Passed Ordinance Last
Night Directing City Attorney
to Proceed With the Matter.

The ordinance directing the city at
torney to take legal steps to condemn
the two strips of c. Pardee's lands
which are needed for the bridge ap-
proach to cross, if all negotiations
for their purchase fail, was passed on
its second and final readings last
night by the Board OF Aldermen.
According to the terms of this Or
dinance, the land at Sheridan street
dedicated to the city by Cortlandt
Parker. is accepted as in so far as
Mr. Parker owned it. The two strips
of Pardee's land are located, one
north of the Raritan and North Shore
railroad tracks, between the west
line of Sheridan street and Sonman' S
creek, and the other similarly locat-
ed on the south of the North Shore
branch of the G. r. K.
Last week notice was served on
those concerned to vacate Pardee' S
lands, but 1t is believed that the city
will beat Pardee out and pay fair
price for the land, the latter to be
fixed by the condemnation commits
sioners. Mr.. Pardee may now agree
to come to an agreement with the
city, but it is improbable.

DELEGATION
AT TRENTON
LAST NIGHT.
Local Men Presented Petitions
for Judge Lyons Appointment
10 Governor Stokes.
GARFIELD BATTERY TOO
Recorder PickersgiII Told Of the
Feeling Here Over Manner in
Which Choice Mas Made.

The petitions from this city which
were drawn up and circulated and
widely signed some time before the
conference at Trenton last Monday
night, when Theodore B. Booraem,
of New Brunswick. was decided upon
for recommendation for judge of Mid
dlesex county, were taken to Trenton
and set before Governor Stokes and
Senator Jackson last night.
The petitions asked that the gov
ernor name Adrian Lyon, OF this city,
as county judge.
The local delegation was given an
extended audience with the chief ex-
ecutive and set forth their grievance,
which is not that Mr.. Booraem was
selected but that the choice was de-
termined before Perth Amboy had a
chance to present the widely-adyer-
tised petitions for Judge Lyon and in
apparent trepidation lest the agita-
ton should grow too strong to allow
of the picking of a New Brunswick
man for the judgeship.
Recorder Pickersgill spoke plainly
and to the point and told of the feel
ing in this city over the manner in
which the whole thing was rushed
through. Perth Amboy bears no anti
pathy towards Mr. Booraem, as he is
recognized as an able lawyer and an
excellent man.
It appeared that the governor had
slightly mistaken impression of the
matter as the senator is supposed to
be governed by the will of his con-
stituents and not by any boss or one
man power. 1t is an almost an un-
written political law that the COVER
nor shall name to the legislature the
man recommended by the senator fol-
lowing his talks with his conferees.
The governor hinted last night that it
might not yet be too late to name any
one, but he was informed that that
was not the purpose of the delega-
TONS trip, but that the action had
been decided upon to show him the
feeling here over the manner in which
Perth Amboy was ignored. Senator
Jackson said little.

A very impressive requiem service
was held in connection with the US

Stephens Danish Lutheran church.
The altar was draped in black. A
large congregation had assembled to
pay their tribute to the beloved mon
arch. Rev. J. F. Christensen spoke
very sympathetically of the life of
King Christian TX.
He was righteous man and fear
ed God may well be said of the king.
His life as d Christian was beautiful
to behold. He was always sincere to
his convictions and that led him to
sincerity in his love for the Danish
people. To him is due, in large meas
ure, their wonderful progress and en-
lightenment during the past half cen

mourns his death, and We as Danish
Americans can extend our most heart

No. 33. leaving Tottenville last night
in charge of Conductor Harry Will
liams and Engineer Louis Dougherty,
ran into an an open switch at Pleas
ant Plains, on which there was an
empty freight car. The engine hit
the car and sent it crashing into the
freight house, turning it completely
over into the street.
The front of the engine was dam
aged so that it could not proceed. 1t
was taken on a siding until the next
train arrived from ST. George and
the passengers were much delayed in
getting TO the city.
This switch is used only for freight
purposes. 1t is thought that some
one, bent On mischief, broke the lock
and opened the switch.
Charles Cole. who was Il passenger
on the train, found the lock lying be-
side the track Someone near the
station at the time of the accident
turned in an alarm of fire from box
