NO DAMAGE FROM
STORM HERE

No material damage was done by
the storm that swept over this sec
tion yesterday afternoon. Before the
storm broke the heat was intense,
the thermometer registering in the
eighties during the day. When the
black clouds appeared in the north
west about o'clock there was a
heavy rumble of thunder accompa-
MED by brilliant flashes of lightning
1t became so dark that lights had to
be turned on in the stores and resi-
dences.
According to reports lightning kill
ed four persons and injured four in
the vicinity of New York. On Staten
Island rain fell in torrents and the
wind reached a tremendous velocity,
with an accompaniment of thunder
and lightning. During the height OF
the storm a COW was seen swimming
off st. Peters park at New Brighton.
The animal was heading toward the
Robbins reef lighthouse in the New
York bay. The sea was running
high at the time and two motorboats
one from the Staten Island shore and
the other from New Jersey, were
seen to put off after the animal. The
latter boat with two men in it's sue
eeeded in reaching it first and towed
it ashore to New Jersey. The COW

FOR ASSEMBLY;
QUINN Up AGAIN

Decision regarding assembly candi-
dates will probably be made by Dem
ocratic leaders within the next two
days, 1t was announced here today.
One thing is practically certain, and
that is that John P. Kirkpatrick and
George l.. Burton will not make the
run again. Assem- blyman Arthur A.
Quinn, of this city, is slated for re-
nomination as regular Democratic
candidate for the assembly, despite
unauthoritative reports to the con-
trary.
1t has been concluded in Demo
cratic circles that assembly candi-
dates this year should come from the
section embracing Sayreville and
South River and from New Bruins
wick. 1t is declared that Mr.. Kirk
patrick will not be in the running,
believing together with his friends,
that he has served sufficient time in
the assembly. Mr.. Burton has re-
moved from New Brunswick to South
River.
The names mentioned in connec-
ton with the positions besides that
of Mr. Qufnn for reelection are: Jo-
seph Ridgewood and DR.. Hoffman,,
of New Brunswick; Charles T. Grace,
of South Amboy;; William Smith, of
Sayreville, together with an official
of Dunellen.

FROM
SHEEHY NOW IN
SWITZERLAND

The full text of the interesting
letter received by County Clerk Ber-
nard M. Cannon, from John X.
Sheehy, a member of the clothing
firm of Cannon and Sheehy, who is
now in Switzerland, which was men
toned in yesterdays NEWS follows:
Lucerne, Switzerland.
Dear Judge:-Well, l am sorry to
say 1t looks as though l am in for a
longer stay than l expected here in
Switzerland. The situation is becom-
ing more alarming every hour. Food
supplies are being held for the
army. and the hotels are cutting ra-
tions to the very lowest point. If
YOU want butter for your bread you
paw for 1t extra; If you want an egg
for breakfast that Is extra, as well
'as MANY other articles of food, which
formerly were included in the bill OF
fare. You find it very difficult to
change your money, as the banks are
reserving their cash for the local peo-
ple. If you do succeed in cashing
YOUR express orders you get your
cult to convert into silver.
"Tuzern, which is a city in the
central part of Switzerland, seems
to be the point where all Americans
are fiocking. and at present, it is es-
timated, between three and four
thousand are here. You see all com
munication is cut off, for SWitzer-
land is hemmed in by Germany and
France, and 1t is impossible to get
out of here by rail or foot, as all
places are guarded by soldiers.
Right in front of the hotel is large
square and at present there are
about 1000 to 1900 soldiers drilling
all day, in a pouring rain, and to-
night they leave to guard the from
tier to prevent the French from
crossing into Germany. All over the
city this same program is being car
ried out, and there are probably 3d.
600 men, besides 500 cavalry, ac-
lively preparing to leave the city to-
night. Last night a meeting of all
American male citizens was held at
one of the hotels for the purpose OF
interesting the President of the
United States in getting them out of
the country. You can't imagine,
Judge, the intense excitement there
is here, and especially since all com
munication has been cut off, and all
kinds of rumors are going about.
Yesterday it was rumored that civil
war was on in France, and that the
city of Paris was in flames. No pa
pers of any description come into
Switzerland; the local papers have
only war news, and they are printed

May Mean Belt Trolley Gar Line
or Loop Out New Brunswick
Ave. Throughout Northwest
ern Section, Say Officials.
PROPOSE TO ELIMINATE Y"

If the Public Service Railway Com
pany is granted permission to place
double tracks on Smith and State
streets, it will be by arrangement on
an equitable basis, declare city officials
Officials from Mayor Garretson, through
the street and other departments have
resolved to refrain from granting the
Public Service as much as an inch, un-
less the equal or more is given in re-
turn This, according to the mayor and
Chairman John J. Clark, of the COM
mittee on streets and sewers of the
Board of Aldermen, may mean a belt
trolley car line, or at least a loop out
New Brunswick avenue, through the
northwestern section, and on through
the proposed Garretson avenue to con-
meet with the line in upper State street
1t is proposed to eliminate the "Y"
now at Water and Smith streets
The subject is now being given at
tention by the city officials, third peti-
ton having been received for the dou-
bic tracking. The late petition. for
double tracking all of Smith street
within the city limits, and State street,
from Smith street to the curve near the
United Lead Works, was received at the
last meeting of the Board of Aldermen
and referred to the committee on
streets and sewers Mr. Clark says the
subject is too large for that committee
to handle, and he proposes to have the
aldermen as a committee of the whole
take it up.
Mayor Garretson says: Make no
agreement with the traction company,
unless it is on an equitable basis" He
was supported by the Aldermen in that
contention Mr.. Clark has a scheme in
mind to eliminate drilling of cars at
Smith and Water streets, by having the
line there extend northerly to Fayette
street then west on that thoroughfare
to New Brunswick avenue, out to the
northwestern section. He would have
a track extended to Convery place, and
then run northerly through Cleveland
avenue to Waltrous lane and eastward
to enter the proposed Garretson avenue
so as to connect with the line now in
State street.

Modernism an Issue.

special bU Unfcd Press wire.
Rome, August 22.-Thirty car
dinals having arrived in Rome for
the conclave at which a successor to
the late Pope Plus X will be selected,
1t became apparent that the cleo
tion of the new head of the Catholic
church will hinge upon the question
of modernism. 1t Is expected today
that the sacred college will be di-
vided into two factions. One will be
the continuation of the fight against
modernism, conducted by Pope Plus,
the other a more liberal element.
When the body of Pope Plus, en-
closed in three caskets is entombed in
st. Peters at o'clock tonight with
full ceremony, the sacred college will
cease to occupy itself with the late
pontiff The cardinals will confne
themselves to consideration of the fu-
ture, although solemn and elaborate
masses for Pope Plus will be cele-
brated daily in st. Peters for seven
days. The members Of the sacred
college feel that with the entomb-
ment they will be free to begin prep
arations for the conclaye.

boats. have cancelled their sailing
dates, and how in the world we are
going to get away from here no one
knows. The English consul posted
notices today advising her people to
prepare to leave Switzerland; that
preparations were being made for
their transportation and as soon as
completed notice would be published
in the local papers. That, of course,
made the Americans very uneasy,
and wondered why President Wilson
was not doing something for Amer
leans. This whole thing came about
so sudden that everyone here is fear
full that they may be detained for a
long time.
when Sherman said, War is
He'll he surely told the truth, for
the preparation you see being made
for it surely makes one shudder. You
see women with two, three and four
children hanging about the square all
day, weeping continually. Most of
the stores are closed, since all men
from nineteen to forty-five are called
to serve in the war. You see miles
and miles of wheat and grain, just
ready to harvest, and the men are
called from the fields to shoulder a
rife. l tell you, Judge, you can't
appreciate the seriousness of a situa-
ton of this kind till you have actu-
ally witnessed 1t. The whole city Is
now under the military. Food sup
plies, horses-in fact everything they
need, the army has first call.

when reading about Americans in
Mexico, that they did not leave there
when ordered to do SO, but I now
see even in this country, which is
far more civilized, how utterly i'm
possible it is. You couldn't get out
of Switzerland at this time for love
or money. Judge, this is-going to be
one awful war, once it is started, and
one wonders how or why such a CON
dition were necessary in these civil
lied times. Well, l want to get this
out tonight and will close. Hoping
