were given, and so much missionary work
was done among the summer residents of
Allenhurst. Deal and Asbury Park that a
great showing was made.
A more beautiful spectacle could hardly
be imagined. Great grandstands around
the lake shores were filled with people,
making this portion OF the lake resemble a
huge amphitheatre. Something like 2.00(

DICKSON MUST
FIGHT FOR HIS
BRIDE
What! Prospective Heiress
Poor Mans Wife? Never!
Says Her Angry Mother.

Thomas Dickson, the young electrical
worker of Kearny, is making a hard
fight to get into communication with
Doris Bury. whom he married after a
very brief courtship and from whom he
was separated by the mother of the
girl. Mrs. Bury has retained Judge AL
fred Skinner to apply for an annulment
of the marriage on the ground that the
girl was under the age of consent
Dickson does not really know where
he Is at. He thinks that his wife is be-
ing detained from seeing him by her
mother. but inquiry on this point at the
Parkhurst apartments, where Mrs,
Bury and her daughter live. was met
with the reply. that all Information
would be given out by Judge Skinner.
Chancery proceedings will be started
as soon as a near relative of the girl
presumably her uncle, arrives in this
city, and the young husband will find
that he will have to get a writ OF
habeas corpus before he can see his
BRIDE
In the meantime Mrs. Bury is telling
her daughter of the 'absurdity' OF
marrying workman, for rumor has II
that Doris will one day inherit a good
sized fortune, said to be near $100, 900.
Doris is beginning to believe, 1t is said,
that the elopement with a common
workman was really absurd. after all,
and the romance which began two
weeks ago at Hahne's musical concert
is being stripped of it's best sides.
Dickson sticks to it that his wife is
still in love with him, and he will not
part with her again If he is once able
to get her. In his modest little home
in Kearny Dickson is thinking Of how
to get his bride back. He has the
certificate of his marriage which his
angry mother-in-law admits is genuine,
and, armed with this certificate, Dick
son thought that he would have no
trouble in getting his bride back; but
now he fears that with money and the
law against him he may find 1t an up
hill proposition.
An EVENING STAR reporter saw Dick
son at his home this morning and he re-
fused to talk for publication. He, how
ever, admitted that he intended taking
legal action.

Captain William A. Ogden, a prominent
citizen of Ness City, Kan, former resi-
dent of Newark. came to this city Wednes-

ment clerk at the City Hall. Two weeks
ago he wrote to Mr.. Taylor that he was

public at Saratoga next month. Mr.. Tay-
lor wrote back that Lincoln Post, q. A.
r., would go to Gettysburg next week and
that some comrades of Captain Ogden In
the Civil War would be on the excursion.
Captain Ogden decided to come to New
ark and go on the excursion, as he could
meet some old army comrades before he
answers the last muster roll. He enlisted
In eNwark in the Fifteenth Regiment New
Jersey Infantry and served three years.
After the regiment was mustered out OF
service he went to the front again as
lieutenant Of Company B, Thirty-ninth
Regiment, New Jersey Infantry. which
was mustered in in the fall OF 1884 for one
years service.
Mr.. Taylor was in the same regiment.

living Mt Belleville. On arriving at the
front the regiment was sent into active
service in the Petersburg campaign and
was on duty night and day for four months,

ness and all the battles of the memorable
campaign In which General Grant ended
the war.
Lieutenant Ogden was appointed an aid,
with the rank of captain, on the stan OF
Brigader-General John ]. Curtin, who
commanded the First Brigade, Second
Division, Ninth Army Corps, in which the
Thirtyninth Regiment served. After the
war Captain Ogden returned to Newark,
and was at one time president OF the
Thirty ninth Regiment Veteran Asso-
ciation. Twenty-nine years ago he went
to Kansas and engaged In the land busi-
ness in New City. Two years ago he ran
for Mayor Of the city.
After the Lincoln Post excursion Captain
Ogden will attend the National Encamp-
ment at Saratoga and then will go to
Boston TO attend a reunion of surviving
officers of his old brigade, among them

LOOKS LIKE MURDER
ENGINEER FARR FOUND
DEAD IN RUTHERFORD.
Money and Jewelry Not Taken, So That
He Was Apparently Not Killed for
Purpose of Robbery.

RUTHERFORD. Aug. 24,--His skull
fractured in half a dozen places, as if
with blackjack or bludgeon, the body
of Charles Farr, so years old, was found
yesterday almost at the steps in front
of st. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church,
in Hackensack street, East Rutherford
That the aged man, who was a recog-
nized authority on railroad and civil en-
gineering, was not murdered with rob-
berry as a motive was shown when more
than $50 was found in his clothing and
a valuable watch and a diomond ring
which we wore were left intact. Chief
of Police Kraus and Detectives Van
Ness and Vogler say they have learned
that threats had been made against the
life of the engineer and they promise
to make an early arrest.
Mr.. Farr had long stood high among
the civil engineers of New Jersey. For
many years he was connected with the
firm of w. w. Jacobus, which had
charge of the work of planning for the
redemption of the Eackensack mead
ows, and during the period Of filling in
he surveyed and engineered the laying
of railroad tracks across the morass
that for many years baff1ed skilled en-
gineers of the country. He was a wild
over and had two sons, one of whom
is at present an inmate of a New Jer-
sey insane asylum.
His skill always commanded D. good SAL
airy. but, according to his associates, he
saved very little, being noted for his
prodigallty. He was very popular among
the sportsmen of Rutherford. He lived
with his son in cottage in East Ruther-
ford that he had owned for many years
Thursday evening the engineer was in
Rutherford. and after seeing several friends
said that he wanted to reach home early,
'as he had some special work to finish.
He was seen to start down Hackensacx
street, which is one of the most sparsely
settled residential streets in East Ruther-
ford. and that was the last seen of him
alive.
Six hours later a milkman driving to the
Rutherford depot found Mr.. Farr's body
There was deep cash across the top of
the head and many other smaller cuts,
indicating that, after he had been felled
to the ground, his murderers had beaten
him with heavy, blunt instrument

UNION ENEMIES
ANTAGONIZE
LEVEEN
Aspirant for Assembly Of
Tended at Time of War
Against Heisler.

That the union garment workers have
their knives, or, perhaps, more strictly
speaking, their shears, still whetted for
Joseph Heiser and his friends, although
they successfully downed his aspirations
for police commissioner, was made mani
fest at the session of the Essex Trades
Council last night where the garment
workers showed that they are now after
the political scalp of Alderman Michael
Leveen The alderman is trying to get on
the Democratic assembly ticket and when
the fight of organized labor against Heis-
Ter was at its hottest, he espoused the
cause of Mayor Haussling in his insist
euce that Heisler should be a police COM
missioner. Hence the hostility.
Delegate Stieglitz, of Garment Workers
Union, No. "a, showed which way the sar-
torial breeze was blowing when he intro
duced resolution to the effect that the
Democratic County Committee should be
requested not to put Alderman Leveen on
the ticket for assembly as he was "a
most bitter opponent TO organized labor"
The thread of the lively discussion which
began at once was cut short by Delegate
Hebeler, who informed the "men of cloth"
that their knowledge of politics did not
appear to be all wool and a ward wide or
that they would know better than to try
to dictate to the county committee on
county nominations because county nom
nations are made at county conventions.
Several of the delegates insisted that there
was no difference between the two and
that while the irons were hottest matters
were smoothed out by a motion from
Delegate Cauler instructing the secretary
of the council to protest against any pro-
posed candidacy of Leveen to the Demo-
cratic County Committee.

New Idea Refusal to
Compromise.

During the gossiping before and after
the Republican County Committee
meeting last night shape was given
to the personnel of the Assembly ticket
that the Regulars will support against
the New Idea slate. 1t was generally
admitted last night that there was
not the slightest hope of any compro-
mise with the Colbyites on this ticket
and that the contest at the primaries
will be more bitter than ever.
One set of delegates pledged to the
New Idea candidates will be on
the primary ballots and another to the
Regulars. Since it has been deter
mined that there must be a fight to a
finish the Regulars have been at work
selecting men for their ticket
To head it Henry Young, jr., son of
the Essex prosecutor, has been chosen.

the district which he will represent,
comprising the First and Second wards.
Carl j. Ahlstedt, who is a resident of
the Third Ward has been indorsed as
the candidate to represent the old imag
mary Assembly district embracing the
Third and Ninth wards.
DR.. James H. Lowrie, a practising
physician in the Fifth Ward, will prob
ably be the opponent of Walter. F.
Simpson, a recruit from the ranks of
the Regulars to the other faction in
that district comprising the Fourth and
Fifth wards.
For that district, which includes the
Tenth and Twelfth wards, Rudolph A.
Braun, of the Tenth Ward, will probably
be chosen, while DR.. Richard g. p. DEF

booked to represent the section that takes

the ward in which he resides
August J, Miller, of the Seventh Ward,

Seventh wards II he can beat out the
candidates that the Sixth Ward New Idea
men have in mind.
Former Assemblyman Herbert Taylor, of
the Eighth Ward, and DIR. Joseph M.
Malatesta of the Fifteenth, are contest
ants for the honor to represent the dis
trict including the Eighth, Eleventh and
Fifteenth wards. DIR. Malatesta seems to
be leading.
The outlying Assembly districts have
their men. too. In Orange Emile Schultz,
ton. For Nutley and Montclair. which
form an Assembly district, John F. Clark,
of the former municipality, seems to have
the nomination clinched.
II. Stacy Smith, OF South Orange, is
spoken Of as the candidate of the district
which includes his town and that of East
Orange George Williamson. who was an
Assemblyman some years ago, will rep

CLAIM MURDER CLUE
SLEUTHS WORKING ON III
OUT OF CITY.

There are no new developments in
the murder case of Louisa Liggins,
who met her death early this week,
it is supposed, and whose body was
found in the city dumping ground on
Tuesday. Detective Sergeants Tuite,
Horter and Templeton are working on
the case. They went out of town this
morning to run down clue which the
police think will clear up much OF the
mystery surrounding the death OF the
woman.
Captain Carroll. of the detective
bureau, SCOTS at the idea that the
woman was murdered on account OF
her knowledge of those who use
cocaine and who feared she would give
their names to the police.
Fear of this possibility and robbery
have been advanced as theories for the
supposed crime.
