Miss Florence X. Ill, daughter of the
well-known surgeon. last night, and
Sergeants Meehan and Donovan were
assigned to the case. At midnight, they
took into custody William Mann, ne
gro, at his boarding place, 8 East Kin

coachman, Robert Burner, and the
chauffeur Phillip Keilman, was en-
gagged in removing books from the at

cupation frequently passed and re-
passed the room from which the jewel
ry was stolen. The two men with
whom he worked said that during the
day Mann was missing for a time

he was guilty of the theft.
Mann denies all knowledge of the
affair, and an investigation In being
conducted by the police who caused

SENATOR EVERETT COLBYS
PLURALITY IN COUNTY 1885
New Idea Regards Result of Pri-
maries Significant
Victory.

Senator Everett Colby's plurality In
Essex county, according to the revised
figures from every district, Is 1,3s5.
This is regarded by the New Idea or
ganization as significant victory.
The Republican Assembly nomina-
tions are still in doubt. The race FOR
places on the Assembly ticket was re-
markably close and the winners will
have few votes to spare.
However, the incomplete returns
show the assembly nominees to be as
follows. seven of them being New Idea
candidates:
III. Stacy Smith, John r. Clark, Aus
ten Colgate. William p. Martin, August
j. Miller, Henry C. Hines, Gustav w.
Roeber. Eliot e. Ford, David II. Say-
back, Frederick A. Fischer and Henry
Young.
Smith and Clark were indorsed by both
Regulars and New Ideas.
Work will be commenced at once by
the Republican League to have Senator
Colby reelected to the upper chamber
of the State Legislature and to have
Assemblyman William Fellowes Nor
gan chosen as the successor of Sheriff
Frank H Sommer.
The Regular Republican organization
promises to take up the task of seeing
that the men chosen at the primaries
are elected, no matter if the Regulars
are defeated. However. 1t is believed
that Senator Colby and Mr.. Morgan
will not receive the support of the solid
party, as many Republicans have said
they would not vote for either of them.
There is more feeling by the disaf-
fected against Mr.. Morgan than
against Mr.. Colby, on account of the
belief that he will adhere to the strict
regime instituted by Sheriff Sommer
1t is revealing no secret to say that
thousands of liberal Republican votes
will not be given to the Assemblyman.
This is not the organizations senti-
ment, but that of liberals" who speak
as individuals
The selection of both men was Bit
ter dose to the Regular" organization
leaders. but as they represent the
party they can do nothing but stand
up for the election of the candidates.
The Republican leagers say they will
see that the candidates get a fair
show They do not intend TO leave the
management of affairs In the hands of
the organization if the Regular lead
ers do not fall into line enthusiastic

The only New York players on the
field were few men out for early

Nevertheless Captain Chance directed
his pitcher to play BALI and five shots
were fired over the plate. Then the
game was claimed by score OF Q to O.

feited contest
Early in the day Pullam made this
statement;

from the umpires in charge of the

report that the game resulted In tie

to continue the game after the ninth
inning. Without entering at this time
into the merits of the controversy that
has arisen over this game Nor passing
upon the legality of any decision. the
game will be recorded as reported,
namely, n tie score"
Police Commissioner Bingham at noon
sent 100 buecoats to the grounds to pre-
vent expected disorder. There was
much confusion, and thousands of fans
were anxious to know how Pulliam
would view the newest tactical move
of the Cubs
1t was claimed first that he did not
order the tie played off. Later it was
declared he had ordered a "double-

fused to play a. double header, claiming

ship probably hinges on the outcome,
there are troubled waters upon the

The Cubs are pleased with the turn

With Three Districts Missing
Lottey Wins Senatorial Nom-
inatiOn by 953.
DEMOCRATS WILL UNITE
TO WIN THE ELECTION
Party Members Drop Differences
After Primaries and Pre-
pare for Campaign.

One of the surprises of the Demo-
cratic primaries came late yesterday
afternoon, when it was apparent that
Harry V. Osborne had won the nomi-
nation for State Senator over Absalom
p. Bachman. Returns today from the
entire county, with only three districts
missing, give Osborne a plurality of
953. This will not be materially
changed.
Mr.. Osborne will be the opponent OF
Senator Everett Colby to occupy the
latters seat in the upper house of the
Legislature. The returns were so slow
in being made yesterday that it was
not until late yesterday afternoon that
the outcome Of the senatorship fight
was definitely made known.
The election of President William
Harrlgan, of the Police Commission,
was conceded early yesterday morning
by the entire field.
Mr.. Osborne's victory was due to the
campaigning he did and the publicity
given to his work for the past three
weeks. Once he decided to enter the
race and had his petition prepared he
got to work and went through the city
and county, acting under the advice of
well-known young Democrats. His
field marshal was Frank A. Boettner.
Mr.. Osborne showed himself to the peo-
pie and gave earnest talks which won
him admirers and got him votes at
Tuesdays primaries.
His principal rival for the nomina-
tion, Absalom p Bachman, of Orange,
was badly handicapped during the
campaign as he was suffering from a
severe attack of throat trouble which
prohibited him from getting out among
the voters.
Frank NJ McDermlt, of this city,
made an informal canvass that was of
the good fellow" order. He made a
far better showing than had been an

DR.. STRONG'S FINE LECTURE

Dr. Josiah Strong, one Of the lead
ing thinkers in this country, and
probably in the world, delivered two
great addresses here last Thursday
and Friday. The Citizen is sorry that
It cannot give its readers all of both
OF them. but it Is impossible. A sum
mary Of one is all that is possible,
and the Friday mornings address on
The New Civilization and Education
has been chosen.
Or. Strong began by saying that
the great question about each person,
is the one of fitness for the work he
is trying to do-each man is like a
key, which, no matter whether 1t be
made of gold or iron, must fit lock
before it is of any value to open a
door. Doors of opportunity. he de-
clared stand ready to be opened all
along the way for those who are fit.
There are thousands Of these doors
In the new civilization We are max
ing and education fits young people
to open these doors.
Taking up again the question of
fitness, DR.. Strong suggested that If
a few of the great men of the earth
had changed places, IL the generals
had been put to writing books. and
the preachers to commanding war
ships, there would have been a good
many failures. The great men had
succeeded, he said, because they were
fitted for the places they occupied.
and therefore none of us need be
discouraged if We were not geniuses.
Tor II we fit the place where God puts
u.s. we may be doing a work greater
than the greatest genius could.
Dr. Strong at this point stopped TO
say few words about Berea. He de-
clared that it is one of the finest
examples anywhere OF fitness thar
II fills place that no other school
does, and that If he had to choose
whether Harvard or Berea should be
