WAGON FAST, DELAYED
THE TROLLEY TRAFFIC

One of the heavy trucks of the New
York and New Jersey Steamboat
company, loaded with boxes, became
fast in a filled-in excavation nea the
trolley switch on State street yester-
day afternoon. A few days ago a
small trench was dug for a sewer con-
nection to the Beckhoff building. Evil
IDENTIFY the earth was not packed well
when it was replaced, for the front
wheel of the wagon sank to the hub,
as it was being driven past the place.
School had just been dismissed and
fully fifty children congregated
around the wagon, which was in dan
ger of topping over.
A trolley wrecking car, in charge
of superintendent Partain arrived
later, and with the aid of jacks, the
wagon vas raised out of the mire. A
chain attached to the car then pulled
the truck or solid ground. Patrol
man McDermott was kept busy
watching the children, and a few
adults who insisted in getting too
near.
Trolley traffic was resumed after

the Mayflowor to pay their Respects
President Roosevelt later left the May

the bridge of which he watched the
days maneuvers.
The exhibition of the efficiency or
the Missourl's crew was the first event
on the days programme. He first saw
how the ammunition Is prepared for
the guns in a handling room drill In
the after turret. This was followed by
turret drill with Morris tube practlce

ELOPEMENT ENDED
IN A SUICIDE CASE

PATERSON, Sept. 29.-Tragedy
yesterday ended the a which
had crept into the lives of Floyd
Bingham, a young man, and led him
to elope from Greene, New York,
with Mrs. Cora Hackett, with whom
he had become madly infatuated. The
couple came to this city and found a
boarding place on Sumner street,
about ten days ago. They passed as
man and wife, and other boarders no.
ticed that they did not get or well to-
gether, as quarrels were frequent.
Early yesterday morning occupants
of the house were aroused by two pis-
tol shots from Bingham's rooms.
Bursting in the door, they found the
young man a corpse, with a wound in
his head, and the woman, covered
with blood, cringing in terror in a
corner. The police yer called, and
when Mrs. Hackett became sufficient
ly calm to talk she told how her lover
had attacked her with a pair of
shears, which badly cut her hands as
she fought in her defense. Then,
suddenly breaking away from her,
Bingham pulled a pistol and fired
two shots at his head. The first miss
ed, but the second stretched him life
less at her feet. She said the young
man had become respondent because
his funds had run out and he was
unable to obtain employment.

CHANGE OF MANSION
HOUSE OWNERSHIP.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 29:-
When Mrs. L. D. Mas disposes of her
lease of the Mansion House to the
steward of the Brooklyn Club, she
will end a regime conducted by her
and her husband that has made the
place one of the famous hostelries of
the country. Particularly since the
automobilists have made New Bruins
wisk a stopping place on their high
way, has the Mansion House sprung
into fame.
Among the many tourists who
have stopped at the Mansion House
this summer was William G. Reick,
editor of the New York Herald. He
was so pleased with the good cheer
of the house that he wrote an article
for the Herald praising the hotel and
its management highly, and accom-
panied by a cut of the house. $50
This article attracted the attention
of George. j. Gould, who was at the
Hotel Ritz, Paris. After reading 1T
he wrote to Mrs. Mas endorsing the
sentiments of the article and express
ing his regret that she was thinking
of giving up the place. Mrs. Mas has
also received letters praising her
hotel from Mrs. George Gould, James
H. Hyde, Fannie Davenport, the act
ress, and other we'll known people.
The new owner will be here in
about two weeks, as soon as he can
get his release from the Brooklyn
Club. He buys the lease, personal
property of the hotel, and goodwill
from Mrs. Mas. The building and
real estate remain the property of
Banker William H.. Leupp. 1t is un-
derstood that the new manager of
the hotel expects to make a number
of changes and improvements to the
house.
After disposing of the property
Mrs. Mas will go to Europe for a trip
and will spend most of her time visit
in CHER husbands relatives at Dijou,
France.

CITY LIGHTING DEMAND.
Rockaway Council Shows it Can
Save $3.50 a Year by the Plan.

ORANGE, Sept. 29.-Despite the
protest of e. M. Loewenthal, a prom
inent resident of Rockaway, the may
or and common council of that place
have determined to open negotiations
with the directors of the local electric
light company for the purchase of the
plant of the company and it's subse-
quent conversion into a municipality
owned electric works.
Mr.. Loewenthal bases his protest
on the contention that the running
expenses of the plan will approximate
$6,710, while its gross earnings
would be only 6 5000, leaving an IN
nual deficit of $110.
The council contends that accord
ing to Mr.. Loewenthal's figures mu-
nicipal ownership of the electric light
plant would involve an annual def
cit of only $110, while at present 1T
costs the borough S1,S0O d year for
electric lights, leaving a difference in
favor of municipal ownership of ST.
$50.

PRIMARY STATISTICS.
Some Figures that Show the Interest
that Was Taken in PIainfeld.

PLAINFIELD, Sept. 29.-Some
indication of the interest taken in the
primaries here Tuesday, when the
Colbyites swept all before them, can
be found in the fact that the total
republican vote cast was within eigh-
ty-seven of the combined vote OF the
republican and democratic parties
cast at the last election in November.
Another Somewhat startling fact IS
that there were 633 m~oresyotes at the
republican primaries than were re-
ceived by Senator Ackerman, for
whom the party was sold, at the NO
vember election. The total number
of republican votes at the primaries
was 2,7S3; the total vote for Senator
Alderman at the November election
was 2,12O.
An inspection shows that there
were more ballots cast at the primar-
les in every single district than there
were in the same districts in Noyem-
Der. In the grand total at the pri-
maries there were ninety-six more
Colbyite ballots than regulars. A
further remarkable fact is that in the
whole city there were only ~sixty-eight
votes cast at the democratic primar-
les.
Using the vote of the high man on
each side as the basis of comparison,
it is found that Judge Runyon's coun-
ty delegation carried the city by a
majority of fifty-three. The same
rule applied to the mayoralty gives
former Mayor Fisk's city delegates a
majority of fifty eight. More impor-
tant than all is the fact that a change
of but six votes in the second district
of the fourth ward would have swept
the machine out of power completely,
for the city delegation would have
been controlled by the Colbyites.
With the three delegates of that dis
trict, where forty-six ballots were re-
iected, the fColbyites would have had
votes in the city convention
and the machine people but eight.

Soc OF d
THE Committeeman
Continued from Page ID

DR.. Frank Crowther and DR.. Edward
e. Haines, the three members OF as
sembly, for the able manner in which
they represented Middlesex county in
the legislature during their terms,
and we feel that the thanl.s of the
people are due to each for the consci-
entious name in which they have
taken care of the interests of the
county in the legislature.
We believe that the gratifying con-
dition of affairs in Middlesex county,
dut to the economical and business
like administration OF the republican
party, calls for the hearty support Of
the candidates of this convention at
the polls by all citizens who are in
favor of continuing the good work.
The courts of the county continue
to be administered in a mannerswhich
is highly creditable. Upon the re-
tirement of the Honorable Wood
bridge Strong as county judge, who
had such a long and honorable ca
reer as a jurist, the county was for
tunate in having such a fair-minded
lawyer named as his successor. Theo-
dore B. Booraem has already demon
strated his fitness for the position,
and no doubt will add to his reputa-
ton as did his predecessor during his
incumbency of the position.
We pledge the hearty support of
this convention to the men who shall
be placed in nomination for state sen
ator and members of the assembly.
We believe that the United States
senator to be elected by the legisla-
ture next winter should be a republi-
can, and we urge all loyal republicans
of the county to do their utmost in
behalf of the men who have %represen-
ted us in the Legislature that we may
have a solid republican delegation
next year. Middlesex county has had
a place in the republican column for
several years, and there is no reason
why it should not remain there If the
proper amount of effort is put forth
in every city, township and borough.
