passed. There are no street lights or
electriclights of any kind other than
those furnished by a few private
plants. It is stated that perhaps

tonight.
The city water supply is cut off
and the citizens depend on artesian
wells and cisterns for a sufficient
amount for necessities. This per-
haps furnishes the greatest menace
to the people of the city, as without

The hsLAUTERpi Piano

In the manufacture of Lauter Pi-
amos, we have certain standards Of ex-
cellence that are strictly adhered to in
the different departments; the result
is piano that IS a source of delight to
every person of critical musical judg-
ment. Constantly we are being as
sured by dealers and pianists in all
parts of the United States that they
have been astonished to find how
superb was the tone quality, the mod
ulation and balance of scale, the reg
ulation, the finish of details and artistic
appearance of our products.
A Western dealer who has been
particularly careful in his inquiries in
regard to quality and construction,
ordered his first shipment of Lauter
Pianos quite recently. This is what
he has to say of them:
"A careful examination of the pi-
amos that have just arrived convinces
me that your strong claims for quality
are borne out by the goods themsel-
YES. | have never seen finer pianos;
| scarcely think | have ever seen as
fine. / can only say that | am de-
lighted, and expect to use very many
Lauters as time goes on

TO RECEIVE SERVICE MEDAL.
Red Tape Mist Cleared Away to the
Satisfaction of Monsfgnor Flynn.

Red Tape Mist Cleared Away TO the
Satisfaction of Monsfgnor Flynn.
Monsignor Joseph NJ. Flynn, rector
of the Church of the Assumption, will
receive his service medal While a
very young man he enlisted on June
II, 1864, in Company B, Thirty-seyenth
New Jersey Cavalry, of which General
3. Burd Grubb was then colonel.
Father Flynn served as one of the
hundred day men, and rose to be a
corporal. When he was honorably
discharged mistake was made, and
the discharge was made out for Jos
eph e. Flynn. The mistake was not
considered as of any great moment I'M
til Father Flynn, many years after,
applied to the adjutant-general Of
New Jersey for one of the New Jersey
medals of honor. The adjutant-gen-
eral was not able to comply with the
request, because Of the error in the
discharge, neither had he the power
W COIECCU WlldU Hc Hoo WSll uASN
was a clerical error. Father Flynn
and Frederick Muchmore, who served
in the same regiment with the Nor
ristown corporal, accordingly went to
Washington and enlisted the offices OF
Senator Briggs, who Immediately called
with them upon Adjutant-General
Ainsworth and stated the case to him.
Under the law that officer has the
right and the power to correct such
clerical errors, when he is fully satis-
fed by the testimony of two men who
served in the army with the applicant
for such correction, and two who knew
him before the Civil War, and have
known him ever since, that the mis-
take in the discharge was clearly a
clerical error. General Ainsworth ac-
cordingly made out and forwarded to
the acknowledgement of New Jersey
corrected discharge, so Father Flynn
is saved the delay and annoyance of
having a special act put through both
houses of Congress and approved by
the President, and he will now receive
the coveted medal of honor, to which
he is clearly emitted.

N. ]. REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
A plan to Reduce the Voting Power
OF Each County.

a Ilau TO heuucS INC OJiuE 1OWeF
OF Each County.
An official call for the State Repub-
lican convention was issued by Secre-
tary Malcolm MacLear on Saturday,
in accordance with instructions issued
by the State committee Friday. The
body met in Republican headquarters,
Newark, and fixed upon Tuesday, May
5, as the date, and Taylor Opera
House, Trenton, as the place for the
convention. In the call is stated the
rules under which primaries are to be
held.
Open primaries without enrolment,
to be held at a fixed date, April 28, one
week preceding the convention, were
agreed to. To this was added the
right to challange, and, as many other
features of the primary law, including
fixing the hours for voting in Essex
and Hudson, at from to 8 O'Clock p.
NJ, as the committee believed could
be consistently adopted.
1t was also decided to reduce the
representation, so far as the voting
power Of each county was concerned,
to one vote for each 300 votes cast for
the Republican candidate at the last
election, instead of one for each 200,
the custom heretofore followed. Each
of the 1851 election districts will be
represented by delegate, but the to-
tai vote will be only 645, or an average
of little more than half vote for each
delegate.
There are not more than one humid
red election districts in the State
which polled 800 Republican votes at
the last election, and unless the coun-
ty committees, which have the power
to make the apportionment, should
substitute the ward unit, or the NUM-
cipal unit where there are no wards,
for the district unit, there would be
more than $50 delegates to the con-
vention having only fractional vote.
The new plan was adopted at the
suggestion of Governor Fort, who ad-
dressed the meeting and remained
throughout the entire session. At the
close he expressed himself as well
pleased with the resolutions adopted,
as they mean the Republican primar-
les will be conducted in substantially
the same form as they would be if the
law he suggested in special message
to the Legislature had been enacted.
There are only two districts in Nor
ris county which polled three hundred
votes for Governor Fort last Novem-
ber. They are the two districts of
Boonton town. In Morristown, the
First and Second wards can each claim
vote for the ward but the Third
and Fourth will only haye fractional
votes. Morris township is also in the
fractional class, missing the necces-
sary number by forty. Morris county
has in all Al delegates and % votes.
On the basis 1923 votes are necessary
to choice, and Essex, Hudson, Cam
den and Passaic have total of 325, or
two more than the number necessary
to name the Big -Four" should they
unite.
