THE POLITICAL SITUATION


With primary day less than a
month off, the political pot is begin
ming to show signs of simmering. AL
ready three names are being men,
ton S aspirants for mayoralty hon
ors. Joseph A. Hermann, the pres
ent incumbent, who was elected last
May on a. citizens ticket will have
the unanimous support of the demo-
cratic organization. Edwin S. Quin
has come out as an independent can
didate, and the republicans favor
School Commissioner William Keller
as their standard bearer. 1t is not
known whether Mr.. Keller will ac-
cept the nomination, but his politi-
cal friends feel confident that if nom
mated he will carry the election.
Former Township Committeeman
John H. Nevill is the choice of the
republicans for Assessor, and Will
lam j.. Casey is spoken of as the
democratic candidate.
One of the issues to be made cam
paign material is the road question
over which the borough and the
Chrome Steel Company are in con-
troversy. The present council has
ordered a thorough investigation to
be made in the premises. and it is
expected that Borough Attorney DAILY
will submit his opinion at the next
meeting of council. Mr.. Quin, the
candidate of the Independent citizens,
was the first to agitate the measure,
employing counsel in his own behelf.
and afterwards receiving the support
of the Property Owners Club, a
strong organization composed of rep
resentative citizens of the borough.
Mr.. Quin opposes the corporate real
estate interests, which he believes
are tending to retard the growth of
the borough through their refusal to
sell the land held by them at prices
within the reach of the laboring clas-
ses, and in this will be supported by
a majority of the voters.
Mr.. Keller is connected with the
Hillman and Clark Co., and is re-
garded as n of the strongest men
in the republican ranks. That he
would make an excellent executive is
believed by members of both parties.
Mayor Hermann is a member of
the firm of Hermann Bros, contract
ors, and has been a member of the
township committee. He was chair
man of the Borough committee and
one of it's active members in advo-
eating teh passage of the bill which
separated his district from Wood
bridge, and incorporated it as the
Borough of Roosevelt.
Speculation as to the outcome is
rife, and the infant city will expert
ence its first political battle this fall.

SOUTH AMBOY.
WATER BILE BrRsT.

Monday night, about $50 o'clock,
the inmates Of Justice Mason's home
were startled by cries of distress
from their neighbor, Mrs. Walter
Compton, and as Mr.. Compton works
at night, Mason's family Immediate
ly- sailed forth to learn the meaning.
They found the water pipe had burst
in the cellar and water was flowing
in at a rapid rate. The water is OBJ
tanned from Church street, and some
time since the sidewalk vas curbed,
and in so doing, like many cher tmat-
ters in our borough, only one thing
was thought of at n time, and in
grading the sidewalk the cutoff valve
was buried several inches under the
earth. AS a consequence nearly an
hours time was consumed in find
ing it, and as a result several inches
of water flowed in the cellar. Fortu-
nately not much damage vas done,
but who would have been responsible
had he RESULT been more serious?

A brand new $500 gold certificate
was chating away with a number of
low down $40 and $50 bills, in the
purse of Jack Steinberg last Friday
afternoon, unconscious of the fact
that a staff of clerks of the Railway
National Bank we're Juggling figures
by the yard looking for his goldship.
Mr.. Sternberg, it seems, walked into
the Railway banking house Friday
morning and presented n $500 check
for which the good natured cashier
handed out five twenties, three fiftys
and one $500 gild certificate, and in
a hurry to catch a train bound for
Elizabeth, Mr.. Sternberg forgot to
count the roll. He did not discover
the error until he reached the Eliz-
abethport Banking Company on First
street, and Immediately notified the
Railway institution, who sent a de-
tachment of clerks to bring the gold
certificate back to the pen, where
from last reports, he was telling his
brother $500 bills all about his trip
to Elizabeth and the interesting clash
he had with the lads of low degree.

Sternberg, "but Railway needs the
masuma, and, anyway, it was too big

dozen oolors ana shades enter. though
only on very close examination can one
separate the color scheme into its com
ponent parts. Some very handsome novel;
ties have grounds Of this description with
embroidered designs scattered over the
surfaces.
For example, an extremely chic French
model costume is made Of such a mixture
whose many colors combine TO give a soft
grayish green affect, ana at wide intervals
over this surface are embroidered little
nut brown circles filed In with a green
much deeper than the tone OF the material.

over the shoulders.
The cloth sleeves had bands OF the velvet

back and loosely in front, had a sOu-
tached waistcoat and collar finish, and the
long. moderately large coat sleeve had two
bands Of braiding at the bottom and was
deliberately embroidered on the outside
above the elbow.
