New Brunswick. Dec. 22:-Jus-

cided the Ocean county senatorial
election controversy by permitting
Low. the Democratic candidate, to
keep the certificate granted him
soon after the election and refusing
to issue a certificate to Mathis, the
Republican who was declared elect
ed after a recount had been taken.
Justice voorhees, decided In favor
of Low on the ground that the bal
lots handled at the recount were not

In short, he inferred that the ball
lots had been tampered with be-
tween the time Of counting and the
time Of the recount. He stated that
Mathis could seek further redress by

TWO TRIVIAL FIRES
WERE SIMULTANEOUS

Two fires OF a trivial nature oc-
Cured simultaneously at 1880
O'Clock last night. One was in Mrs.
N. Sofield's grocery store, at 376
State street, and the other in a coal
car on the Central railroad tracks
at Second street.
An alarm was turned in by Her
man Ftngerote from box 81, for the
latter fire. 1t was unnecessary, as
the blaze was confined to some hot
ashes in railroad car and was
placed under control In q short time.
At the same time a gas Jet ignited
some Christmas decorations In the
window of Mrs Sofie1d's grocery
stare, at 376 State street. 1t was first
smothered with potato bags, but as
that proved ineffective, the gas was
shut off

Especial Correspondenee.l J


Trenton, Dec. 22:-Assemblyman
elect Elmer H. Geran, of Matawan
Monmouth county, yesterday publicly
pledged himself to vote for James E
MARITIME for United States Senator, thus
bearing out the claims Of DR.. Wilson 4
friends in CHASING him as supporter
of the latter's side. In addition tc
Mr.. Geran pledging himself to the di
rect primary choice for a successor tc
John Kean, Assemblyman-elect Leon
r. Taylor, also Of Monmouth, yester.
day publicly stated that he would moi
vote for James Smith, Jr. Mr.. Tay.
lor is not yet ready to say that he is
unreservedly for Mr.. MARITIME, but
those familiar with the situation count
on him being for the latter before the
contest is ended.
The declaration by Mr.. Taylor gave
the Smith men one of the most serious
iolts that they have suffered since
they undertook the campaign of upset,
ting Democratic campaign pledges with
reference to the selection of Sena.
tor. Just after election Mr.. Taylor
told many of his friends that he be.
lieved that Mr.. Smith was entitled to
the Senatorial honor and that he was
strongly inclined to support him. The
former Senator and his lieutenants IN
Monmouth county. have insisted all
along that even though the two other
Assemblymen from this section might
90 over to the. MARITIME side Mr.. Tay-
lor would remain true to the old time
democratic bass until the last vote was
counted in the joint session Of the
legislature. The detection of Mr..
Taylor from the Smith ranks is, there
fore, very significant at this stage of
the contest and affords convincing evi-
dence that Senator Smith is far weak
er than even some of the Wilson Mar
tine men have calculated.
If DR.. Wilson does not succeed be-
fore the legislature meets in joint ses-
sion to elect Senator in bringing all
the Democratic members in line for
Mr.. MARITIME, it is likely that confer
ence may be held. But if one is call
ed, it will be with the strict under
standing that Legislators who partici-
pate in 1t will not be bound by any
vote tailed therein. AS matter of
fact there are more than enough legis-
lators who will not be bound by eau
Gus to prevent this old time political
method being used to any effect.
Senators Fielder, of Hudson, Osborne
of Essex, Silzer, of Middlesex and
of Hunterdon, are among
those who would not enter caucus.
They do not object to conference If
II seems necessary. If the Democratic
Legislators are called together to dis
cuss the Senatorship before they go
into joint session, the call win be is
sued ~ Mr.. Fielder, by, virtue Of his
being the democratic leader in the
senate last winter. Mr.. Fielder says
that he has not been asked by the
Smith men to arrange for either a eau
Gus or conference.
Following is the statement made
yesterday by Assemblyman-eleet Ger
an:
"The people of the United States
ask the privilege Of eleeting their Uni
ted States Senators The citizens of
our State desire that privilege. I'm

Chicago, Dec. 22:-Twenty-ffye
franlen are supposed to be dead,
Fire Chief Moran and Fire Marshal
burroughs are missing, in a FIRE
which early today destroyed the
large meat warehouse Of Nelson Nor
ris & Company. in the Chicago stock
yards. Under one of the walls of
the building a force of about twenty
five firemen were stringing a hose
when a wall fell and all are thought
to have perished. A later explana-
tion of the probable deaths of tho
fremen Is that before the wall fell
a tank of ammonia exploded and all
were supposed to have been rendered
helpless from It's fumes and thus un-
able to save themselves.
At 8:45 o'clock the fire, which
was thought to be under control,
again increased in fury and call for
ten more engines was sent out. 1t

of the dead that are still buried In

the same moment the rain began to
fall in torrents.
Where should he hide himself from
the tempest's fearful blast?
The next moment he saw something
that looked like a moving light.
It was deep, deep in the woods, en-
tirely out of his path, but poor Carl
ton longed so much for company at
such a fearful time that he left his
path and followed the light.
He was gaining on it every second
when it disappeared entirely from
view.
Carlton waited for the next flash of
lightning and saw tiny hut, almost
hidden from sight by dense growth
of bushes.
Plunging on, he thought to ask per-
mission to remain until the storm was
over There was a tiny ray of light
through the bushes and something
prompted him to steal up softly and
look into the crack of one of the closed
shutters. He wanted to know what
the man was like before he asked him
for shelter.
He peered through the tiny crack
and saw something that made him
start with surprise
