Jersey City, n. j., July 1.-THE
shortest and IN many respects the hot
test campaign ever In this city is at
IN end tonight, and tomorrow the fate
Of the adoption or rejection Of the
commission plan Of government will
be decided at a special election called
by the opponents Of the scheme.
Jersey City Is the fourth municipal
ity In the state to take advantage of
the Walsh act, the proposition having
been adopted by Trenton and rejected
by the two only second class cities In
Hudson county, Bayonne and Hobo
ken. The result Of the contest Will be
awaited with anxiety not only In all
parts of New Jersey, but by the
friends and enemies of commission
government in other states.
The attitude of Mayor Wittpenn and
his followers Is one Of the features Of
the contest. The mayor got aboard
the commission government band wag-
on early in the game. He openly de
clared that he didn't altogether APP
prove of the makeup of the Walsh act,
but said that 1t was an imurovement
over the present system. which had
handicapped his administration. Sew
eral of the heads of his departments
also announced that they favored com
mission government, but their subordi-
mates assert that the proposed change
Is q bad thing, and 50 far as can be
learned Wittpennites generally are 60
ing to vote for the rejection Of the
proposition.
The Commission Government league
originally intended to have the election
in June, and preparations were made
for 1t by the securing of over 5000 pc
ltions calling for a special election. 1t
was decided, however, to defer the
election until fall, when, 1t was
argued, everybody would have return
ed from their summer vacations and
the proposition would have a better
chance of success.
Soon after the advocates abandoned
their plans Sheriff James J.. Kelly, who
said he took the initiative on his own
hook, decided to force the election IN
midsummer. He said that his sole
reason for hurrying things up was be-
cause he wanted the question settled
before the fall campaign started in.

barreling up of gunpowder, 1t took fire

sixty. The number of persons destroy

for the next house but one was the
Rose tavern, a house never (at that
time of night but full of company.
And In three or four days, after dig
cling, they continually found heads,
arms, legs, etc" The most interesting
part Of the account comes further on:
IN the digging they found the mis-
tress of the house of the Rose tavern
sitting in her bar and n of the draw
ers standing by the bars side, with a
pot IN his hand, only stided by dust
and smoke, their bodies being p%reserv-

There was also found upon the up
per leads Of Barking church a young
child lying In a cradle as newly laid in

the least sign of fire or other hurt. 1t
was never known whose child 1t was,

An instance In which a dream was
useful In preventing an impending ca
tastrophe ia recorded Of a daughter of

this that she returned home, and, to
her great establishment and not a lit
tie to her dismay, she met on entering
the house the very black servant she
had met in her dream. He had been
engaged In her absence. She prevail
ed upon a gentleman to watch in an
adjoining room during the following
night.
About 3 o'clock In the morning the
gentleman heard footsteps on the
stairs, came out and met the servant
carrying some Goals. Being question
ed as to where he was going, he
answered confusedly that he was 60
ing to mend the mistress fire, which
at 8 O'Clock In the morning In the mid
die Of summer was evidently impossi-

knife was found hidden In the Goals.
