road near the place where he was
drowned, and it was his intention of
having his wife move to Poughkeep-
sic, N. Y, October 1. Mrs. Marshall
had already made preparations for
joining her husband when the news
was received of his death.

early this morning to take charge OF

EXEMPTS NEED
OVER ST 90.

A meeting of the Exempt Fire
mems Association was held last night
in their rooms in the old Washing
ton Hose Company building on Water
street and matters pertaining to the
parade on October II, were discussed.
The appropriation of 500 given by
the general parade committee was
found to be insufficient to defray the
expenses of the association and a
committee of four, John Cluney,
J. M. Glenn, w. c. Martin and Joseph
Burns, was appointed to wait on the
general parade committee at their
meeting on Friday evening to ask
for another allowance of 500.
1t is the intention of the Exempts
to have band in the parade on that
day, but no good band could be hired
for the amount appropriated.
1t was also decided to have open
house and it is expected that numer-
Gus guests of the visiting companies
will call there during the day. Re-
freshments are to be served in the
meeting rooms.

BULKHEAD MAY BE
BUILT FURTHER OUT

Work on the city's proposed bulk
head between the Raritan Yacht
club house and High street has not
yet been commenced. Some effort is
being made to have it built further
out in the water, although not as
far out as originally planned. With
the wall up on land as planned re-
Gently by the city, Front street would
only be about thirty-five feet wide
If built according to Mr.. Hanson's
present ideas, Front street would be
about seventy feet wide. The build
ing of it as Contractor Hanson plans
it is declared, would mean saving
of about $500, as floating pile driver
could be used.

for Alderman.
TWEEN CANNON AND HOY

Crowther and Daily for SurrO-
cate to Be a Feature.

When the democratic county con-
vention has beeh held at New Bruins
wick, next Tuesday, the campaign ir
Middlesex county will be formally
launched and local interest will then
centre in the coming conventions in
this city, when the candidates for al
derman-at-large and comptroller will
be named
The contests in this city this fall
are expected to be warmly fought.
and the G. o. P. will make a deter
mined effort to retain the majority
of four in the Board of Aldermen
To do this. they must elect three out
out of the four candidates for that
body.
Nor will the fight throughout the
county be any the less warm. The
republican nominee for surrogate, DR.
Frank Crowther, said this morning
that he has not perfected plans a
yet for his campaign, but that HI
would probably make them know
in few days.
DR.. Crowther said that he expect!
to make an old fashioned campaign
and that during his travels he will
visit and address meetings in the in
terest of the entire republican ticke
in every town and district in Middle
sex county, even though it should b
necessary to ride on horse back t
reach them.
John Pfeiffer is slated for a re
nomination on the republican ticke
for alderman-at-large, and Williar
d. Voorhees, is most prominent
mentioned as his probable opponen
William A. Growney will be re
named by the democrats for COMP
roller, with little doubt, and theI
are mentioned on the republican sic
John Ten Broeck, w. S. Duncan an
F. R. Mccoy.
The rival candidates for aiderma
in the sixth, Stephen Schultz, tn
present republican incumbent VIII
has represented the sixth fC
two terms, and Dennis ]. Flynn, VIII
won at the democratic primaries
each have a host of supporters an
similar conditions prevail in tn
fourth and second. The latter is tn
most doubtful of all, and Bernard n
Cannon and William Hoy will bot
make strong bid for election.
For the democratic county ticke
DR.. William e. Ramsay is bein
doomed for another nomination fc
assembly, and there is little tai
of placing w. A. Crowell on the fret
holder ticket again.

FREEMAN MAY
YET Be MAYOR.
Ran as a Republican in Metuchen
and Finds Himself a
Democrat.
"A HEARING BY JUSTICE.
Court Seems Inclined to Favor
Freemau's Contention May
Open the Ballet Boxes.
special to the EVENING NEWS:

NEW BRUNSWlCk, Sept Zb:--
AS a result of the argument before
Justice Swayze yesterday afternoon
in the me ter of the nomination of
DR.. Charles Freeman, husband of
Mary Wilkins, the authoress, for the
Office of mayor of Metuchen, it looks
as if the doctor will be the nominee
on the democratic ticket at the cleo
ton. This is a rather strange state
of affairs, as the doctor is a republi-
can and sought the nomination on the
republican ticket, but his friends
made a democrat out of him. Justice
Swayze has not yet decided the mat
ter and should he favor Freeman the
other side can appeal his decision un-
til after the election.
At the primary DR.. Freeman ran
against Jesse Jackson for the republic
can nomination and Thorfin TAFT was
the only democratic candidate. Each
party had a bollot box and when the
friends of Dr. Freeman found ~
son was defeating him for the lep
lican nomination they had votes Cd
for him in the democratic box, H
name being written over that of Tall
the regular democratic canfidate.
Tait's friends learned of this too late
| to get enough votes in the box to
offset Freeman's lead. The election
board however, refused to count the
democratic votes for Freeman as ne
was not a candidate for the demo
cratic nomination.
Lawyer Freeman Woodbridge. on be-
half of Mr. TAFT said he did not think
the election law section as to the OPEN
ing of the ballot boxes was q part OF
of the primary law.
Lawyer Voorhees, said it was and
Lawyer Woodbridge than raised the
point that the democratic Freeman bal.
lots We're marked ballots. the nams
Freeman having been written on ever,
ballot by DIR. Freeman himself, he hav
ing so testified, and not by the voter
as the law required.
Justice Swayze asked for the lf1
. . that held that man tdGqtf not ~ .
for whom he chose. He Thought &ai1
primary law would be very dcfecf1vG
If it prevented a man from voting for
whom he chose and limited his choico
! to the one name printed on the ticket.
"The theory of the law is that man
cannot run on both tickets" said Law
yer Woodbridge in further arguing the
point that the democratic ballots fnI-
> Freeman were marked ballots.
THE theory of the law is that man
can vote for whom he pleases said
Jus.ise Swayze.
The court will have briefs submitted
and should the boxes be ordered open
/, ed, this will be done in the presence o1
i, Supreme Court Commissioner j. X
Rice, both sides agreeing to this.
