Trenton, Sept. 28:-With only
Cape May and Ocean counties still
to be heard from on the question of
direct primaries vote on the demo-
cratic candidates for the United
States senate, figures tabulated to-
day in the Office of the secretary of
state show $3.50 democrats ex-
pressed a preference for a successor
to John Kean. OF this number,
James e. MARITIME, of Plainfeld, re-
ceived 44,287. His democratic op-
ponent, Frank H. McDermit, of New
ark, erceived 1921.
The Hudson county returns which
were received yesterday afternoon,
show that Mr.. MARITIME polled in the
direct primary fifty per cent. Of the
total democratic vote cast at the last
election, or nearly 10000 more than
McDermit in that balliwick.
The republican and democratic re-
turns together indicate that approx
imately $4,000 voters expressed a
preference on the senatorial ques-
ton through the direct primaries,
which is about fifty per cent. of the
combined republican and democratic
vote rolled up in the last guberna-
torial election.
The returns from Atlantic coun-
ty show that 1875 democrats voted
for Clarence B. Cole, Of Atlantic
City, as their choice for senator. Mr..
Cole made the nominating speech
for Woodrow Wilson in the demo-
cratic state convention.

SECOND BIG SHARK
CAUGHT IN POUNDS

Long Branch. Sept. 2S:-An
eleven-foot shark, tipping the scales
at 500 pounds, was landed Monday
morning by Captain John Hennes-
sey's fishing crew at North Long
Branch, this city. The crew, in
command Of Captain John Seather,
reached the nets at $50 o'clock and
at once made preparations to lift.
1t was not long before Captain
Seather realized that he had some
thing besides marketable fish in his
nets. The shark put up a stiff fight
anad It required some hooks and
ropes before the animal was finally
lassaed and put aboard the boat.
Captain Hennessey will ship the
shark to New York. 1t Is the lar
gest specimen caught by his crews
withon the past fifteen years.
Thirteen years ago Captain Hen
Messy landed a tw~enty-foot whale.

PASTOR RESIGNS AFTER
so YEARS IN PULPIT

Atlantic Highlands, Sept. U.s.
After more than half a century of
active service in preaching, Rev.
trail Baptist church, at Atlantic
Highlands, handed in his resignation
at a special meeting called at the
conclusion of the regular Sunday
morning service. The pastor gave
as his reason that because of his ad-
vancing age he thought it would be
advisable for him to quit. There
were but few present at the meet
ing, and the announcement came as
q great and most unwelcome sur
prise to all, for while it was known
that their pastor vas getting along
in years, the congregation did not
believe that he would resign so
soon.
Following the pastors declara-
ton, each one Of the trustees pres
ent arose and spoke of the esteem
and good will in which all the mem
bers held him and also the great ap-
probation that was felt of his work.
1t was the unanimous opinion of all
present that If Mr.. Fletcher would
consider it, his resignation would
not only be refused, but his salary
would be raised and a vacation
would be granted him, which would
give him ample time in which to re-
cuperate. 1t is the general senti-
ment that the resignation be not &C
cepted and that every influence be
brought to bear upon the pastor to
continue his work.

COMES FROM IRELAND

Plainfeld, Sept. 28:-From Ire
land yesterday was received the cor
nerstone which will be used in the
construction of the new st. Joseph's
r. c. church, for which ground has
Just been broken. This stone was
the gift of the mother of Father w.
II. Miller, the rector, and it is sent
by her in remembrance of the boy
hood days of her son, who played
around the section where the stone
was quarried. 1t came from county
Armagh.
st. Joseph's church is the second
built in this part of the state as the
Offspring of the mother church at
Stony Hill, near New Providence,
The other was st. Mary's in this city,
which had it's origin within a block
of the present structure of st. JOS
eph's. Previous to that time the
Plainfeld members of the congrega-
ton had to drive to Stony Hill, until
a missionary priest was assigned to
come here to hold services.
st. Joseph's present building is a
frame structure, which has done
good service, but the work has out
grown accommodations. The con
gregation acquired a site occupying.

NICHOLS MAY VOTE FOR
STOKES FOR SENATOR

Trenton, Sept. 28:-Assistant Sec
rotary Of State Smith, for the first
time yesterday was able to figure the
actual plurality received by former
Governor Stokes for United States
senator at the primaries held two
weeks ago. The returns from two
election districts are still missing,
but their vote is unoficially known
and the plurality is fixed at $40 for
Stokes over Fowler and Murphy.
One of the missing returns was that
of West Deptford township, Glouces-
ter county, where the mutton-head
election board locked the tally sheet
in the ballot-box, making no report
OF the senatorial vote, and it will
take an order Of the court to pry the
box open to get the official count.
The same was true of the board in
Frelinghuysen township, Warren
county.
Assemblyman Nichols, the Cum
berland county statesman who won
the hot fight for the republican nom,

JAMESBURG
WANTS LIGHT
Borough Council Hears Rea-
sons Why Place Is in
Darkness.
QUESTION OF POLES

J~amesburg, Sept. 28:-Feeling
their way through the inky-black
streets Monday night, in response to
a summons to meet the representa-
tives of the company that controls
the apparatus that is at the present
time unable to supply this borough
with electric light, the members of
the borough council held an informal
meeting in an endeavor to straighten
out the light question.
The borough streets have been In
darkness since July, and the taxpay-
ers are getting desperate. All they
want is light, and they don't care
who supplies the illumination, either.
w. A. Williamson, a promoter, of
New York City, the new owner of
the East Jersey Light and Power
Company, which has absorbed the
holdings of the defunct Jamesburg
Electric Light, Heat and Power
Company, appeared before the city
fathers, and in a brief address offer
ed an explanation as to the reason
the borough is without lights.
His remarks revealed that his
company Is ready and willing to sup
ply the borough with a better grade
vi ll6Ii lhdh CNOl ShlCJSdy ~ v
the refusal of several property own
ers along the public road from Eng
lishtown to Jamesburg, who refuse
to allow his company to erect the
necessary poles to convey the power
to Jamesburg. In all there are about
four who are holding the town in
darkness. Ex-Mayor Frank Jennings,
of Jamesburg, and c. D. Moss, a bust
ness man of New York City, are the
men who are the leaders, he claimed.
A committee was appointed by May
or Chamberlain to wait on these men
and try and settle the question.
g Mr.. Williamson told the council
that if he can secure the right Of way
over the disputed property he can
supply light in the borough in two
weeks. He presented another scheme
also. He claimed he can enter the
borough W. the wires of the Pub
lie Service Corporation lines from
Dayton, and this route would be used
if the present trouble could not be
Strengthened out. The light over this
route would come from Trenton, and
three tranformers would be neces-
sary to give the required voltage for
commercial service.
Speeches were made by Messrs.
Buckelew, Stonaker, Smith and
others, in an endeavor to bring the
light question to a peaceful solution,
~Jamesburg borough has been with
out lights for over two months now,
owing to the failure Of the original
company to meet the financial de-
mands made of it by the Otto Gas
Engine Company, who furnished the
engine for the power.
The latter secured an injunction
on their property and removed same
from the local power house, leaving
Jamesburg in darkness ever since.
Shortly after the removal of the en-
CINE the newly formed company es-
tablished their main power plant at
Englishtown, and from that point
supplies Freehold, and were to fur
nish the light for Jamesburg when
they were held UP on the outskirts
Of the borough.
A committee waited on the County
Commissioners recently, but received
little encouragement. In the mean
time ~Jamesburg has gone back to
kerosene oil, but for how long no
one knows. The light question will
occupy the boards at council meeting
Monday evening next.
