THE BALL GAME TOMORROW
Good Crowd Expected and Low Trans
fer Rate Made to and
From Grounds.

All arrangements have been made
for the ball game tomorrow after
noon at the fair grounds when the
lopenfng base ball contest of the sea-
son will take place with Grand juno
tons newly organized team compet-
ing with the strong bunch of players
/ from up at Palisade.
Manager Chandler announces that
arrangements have been made where
| in all patrons desiring to see the game
can ride out with any of the express
men at the rate of ten cents each way
or twenty cents for the round trip.
This is the lowest charge for ride
out to the fair grounds and back ever
made for a ball game or any other
exhibition at the fair grounds and
the people should appreciate it. The
gate admission will be 25 cents for
single tickets and no extra charge for
grand stand seats,
The management has no intention
of playing a hold up racket on the
public, consequently the price has
been scaled as low as possible. A
person can ride out to see the game
secure admission and ride back for
the small sum of 45 cents, who could
kick on that?
The Grand Junction team expects
to appear in handsome new suits of
red and green and there Is no ques-
tion but what the boys will make a
fine showing. The Palisade boys will
also be right on deck with the good
looks.
A fast game is promised and the
grand stand should be crowded to
overfiowing and thus by a large at
tendance encourage this clean sport
and make certain a series of excel
lent games in Grand Junction dur
ing the present season.

SOUNDS THEIR PERIL
ALARM CLOCK RINGS AS GAS
THREATENS.
Schooner Family Would Probably Have
succumbed to'Fumes Except for
Fortunate Circumstances.

An alarm clock which sounded at 8
o'clock this morning in all probability
saved the lives of Joseph Schooner, q
leather worker; his wife, Lena, q
daughter, Is years old, and a son, Jo-
seph, at is Bremen street. When the
former retired last night he filled the
stove with coal and choked the outlet
of the stove to which the stovepipe was
connected. AS a result the coal gas
escaped from the stove and filed the
various rooms and affecting the MEM
bers of the family,
Schooner was awakened by the ring
Ing of the alarm clock. He felt dizzy,
and on not finding his daughter, who
works in the Edison plant at West
Orange, up as usual he aroused her, and
she, too, was dizzy. He then aroused
his wife and her condition was similar
to that of the daughter and himself.
He then went into the parlor and inn
mediately discovered that their sick
feeling was caused by the escaping coal
gas. The son was then aroused and the
windows leading from the different
rooms were opened and word was tele-
phoned to DIR. f. w. Becker, who, after
working some time, managed to revive
the entire family.
Schooner, however, was the only one
able to attend to his duties, and the
others were too weak to leave the house
today. The son. who slept in a room
adjoining the parlor, was the most Sc
riously affected by the fumes.

"H0OKS" SAYS HE'S NOT
AS BAD AS HE'S PAINTED.
Not Leader of Young Poultry Fanciers,
but Victim of Other Bad Boys.
Found by Red Sweater.

Although Judge Herr placed five
youthful chicken thieves who were ar
raigned before him yesterday in the
Fourth Precinct Police Court on pro-
baton, August Weissing, 16 years old,
of 1894 Fifteenth avenue, who was a
member of the same gang charged with
invading coops in the Vailsburg sec
ton, was less fortunate when he was
arraigned today. He admitted that he
stole thirty chickens.
"Ill impose a fine of $25 or ninety
days in the penitentiary," said the
court.
An elderly man with whom Weissing
has been living and by whom he has been
employed during the past week at West
field, paid the fine.
III defendant was known as Hooks"
by his companions, and all accused him
of being the leader of the gang. In court
today he denied that he was the leader,
and accused several others, whom he
claimed taught him how to steal.
Weissing wore a loud red sweater,
and he was thus described to Judge Herr
by the quintet who were arraigned yes-
terday. He had his sweater on when ar
raigned today. He was taken into GUS
tody by Plainclothesmen Sebold and Kaas
in Westfield yesterday.

FOR VOTING REFORM
BOARD OF ELECTIONS WILL
ASK FOR LEGISLATION.
Many Ballots I~nvalidated Through
Trivial Technicalities, as Shown
in wright-Masker Recount.

For the second time in as many years
the Essex County Board of Elections will
go to the Legislature to try to bring about
ballot reform legislation. A bill was in
troduced in the last Legislature for such
a purpose at the ~instigation of the local
board, but failed to become a law.
The matter of taking up the plan for the
second time was brought to a head last
night at the recount of the ballots in the
Wright-Masker matter.
All four of the members of the board.
with Samuel C. Martin, of Belleville, as
spokesman, said that they would do all in
their power TO bring about the enactment
of laws that would not permit the invalida-
ton Of franchise rights of the voters fer
trlvialities.
Mr.. Martin and Harry Kalisch. the other
Republican member, said that they would
ask Governor-elect John Franklin Fort to
treat the ballot reform question in his an
nual message, suggesting the appointment
Of a commission to consider the subject,
make a report and draft a bill to remedy
existing evils. Chairman Enos Runyon AMI
Edward HART, the Democratic members,
expressed themselves as ready to aid in
every way in the proposed plan.
In discussing the matter, Mr.. Martin
said:
IF there is one thing above another that
has been emphasized in the recount of
ballots in which l have had a part in my
long connection with the County Board.
it is the necessity of the enactment of n
new statute that will prevent the present
injustices that are a direct result of de-
fective laws.
"A commission should be named to can
vass the entire subject. It's membership
sleuld include representatives of first, sec
ond and third class counties. In that
way, provided plenty Of time is given TO
the subject and inquiry Is made among
men who nave had practical experience
along all lines that should be considered,
a comprehensive bill for the Legislature
ma ba evolved.
In the First Ward of Newark. where the
ballots are now being %recounted to decide
who has been chosen Alderman, it is
probable that about 5 per cent, of the votes
cast will be declared invalid. That is an
outrage, and something certainly Dan be
done to prevent it.
Many ballots were invalidated by errors
made in crossing out the words For or
Against on the propositions submitted
for consideration. Blue pencils were used,
the marks were wrongly made, the pencils
touched the ballot in the wrong place, and
other accidents contributed to take from
the citizens their votes"

SNOW; MORE COMING
DUE THANKSGIVING DAY,
SAY WEATHER SHARPS.
Fall This Morning Lasted Two Hours.
Twenty-six Storms to Be Win
ter's Record7

A fall of snow, the first of the sea-
son of any consequence. gladdened the
eyes of the small boys this morning
while they were in school, and they
planned a big time as soon as the
morning session was over But the
snow had all disappeared when that
time arrived.
1t may please them to know that an
other snowfall is on its way here
from the far West and scheduled to
arrive in this city for Thanksgiving
Day.
The snow furry his morning was
part of a big storm that had been
lowering over Lake Huron for the last
two or three days, and while there was
an indication that it was going to visit
Newark, it stole a march through a
narrow lane of low barometer from the
lake.
The snow began to fall about ?
o'clock, and continued until about 11:15
a. m, and the fall was about one
fourth of an inch deep, but it melted
almost as rapidly as it fell, and made
walking very disagreeable for the time.
The conditions of the weather
throughout the Northwest is very I'M
settled. which it is said will make an
easy passage of a big snowstorm that
is now hard at work along the north
ern part of the Pacific coast n is
heading this way, and should, accord
ing to the weather prognosticators, ar
rive here about Thursday. In the South
the weather is very fair and mild.
If the old adage, THAT we have as
many snowstorms as the date on which
the first one occurred, we are in for
twenty-six more, but then, again, we
not have that many.
