After the Nomination for Senator and Got Seven Votes...Mr.

—
The Republican county ticket for
the fall election, as fixed at the con
vention in New Brunswick yesterday,
is as follows:
f For senator, William H. 0. Jackson,
of New Brunswick.
For assemblyman, Harry Oonard, of
this city, J. H. T. Martin, of Wood
bridge, and J. C. Frosythe, of Dayton.
John M. Montgomery, of South
Amboy, received seven votes for the
senatorial nomination. An effort was
imade to have him withdraw but he
refused. Ho ivas offered the nomina
tion for assembly if lie would step
aside and allow Mr. Jackson to be
nominated liv acclamation, but still
the Hon. John M. refused. He said
he was out for senator and nothing
would make him withdraw. When
.the vote was taken it was found that
|he South Ambov man had the five
Belegates from South Amboy and two
Irom Jamcsburg. Mr. Jackson re
1,lived all the rest. He was declared
(he nominee and the South Amboy
delegate then moved that it be made
unanimous, which was done.
There were plenty of caucuses dur
ing the day. The Perth Amboy dele
gation claim that the presentation of
Harry Conard’s name was a complete
surprise even to the party leaders.
The name was presented by Ira B.
Tice and, it is said, not until after 10
o’clock yesterday morning did Robert
STORIES OF
THE TRIP TO
CARNIVAL.
Local People had Some Interest
ing Experiences Between here
and New Brunswick.
SEVERAL ACCIDENTS.
Local people who went to the Mew
Brunswick carnival by trolley are tell
ing of their experiences there and
back. Some of these are more or less
amusing, while others are not. Sever
al people said they had to walk home,
because of the accommodations in
getting out of New Brunswick. Some
who loft the county seat at 10.-30 just
got to Metcuhen in time to catch the
midnight car for Perth Amboy. They
said between Metuchen and New
Brunswick the car bacaed, took sid
ings and did all kinds of stunts all
me v» te y uiuu^i
Constable O’Brien tells of assisting
in pulling a woman and child out of
the hold of a canal boat where they
had fallen. He thought at least one
of them would be dead, but it was |
not so. Coming home on the trolley j
just before reaching Metuchen, a man !
fell from the car and received some
injuries. He was picked up and seem
ed to be all right.
Several of the larger crafts that
went up from here had a little diffi
culty in getting near enough to the
carnival on account of shallow water.
Everyone says they had a good time,
however.
INFORMAL DANCE
BY SOCIAL CIRCLE.
About Fifty Couples Present at
Boynton Beach Last Night—An
Enjoyable Affair.
The first informal dance of the
Social Circle at Boynton Beach last
evening was a complete success. The
floor was in prime condition and the
music was excellent, Morrissey’s or
chestra being in attendance. The
young men of this organization had
w’orked hard to make a success of the
closing dance of the season at the
beach and anyone who was present
list evening will testify to the success
of their efforts.
TVie dancing floor was at no time i
crowded, but- the attendance was very
good, it being estimated that about)
fifty couples wrere present. Bight re-1
freshments were served during the
evening. The dancers kept right on
until about midnight before they de
parted homewards, with the strains (
of “Home, Sweet Home,” ringing in 1
their ears. Guests were present from 1
Carson or other leaders know ot tne
move. Mr. Conard, it was said, had
not been consulted at all and, at the
time, it was a question whether or
not he would serve. The delegation,
however, wanted the nomination and
they wanted a good man so they
named Mr. Conard. If he refused to
run, the delegation made sure that
Perth Amboy would be allowed to
select his successor. It is the great
desire of the Republic ms, however,
that Mr. Couard shall stand, for both
his own party men aud Democrats
alike declare he would mase a strong
run as his popularity in this vicinity
is well known.
It is understood tlint the Perth Am
boy delegation at first iavored a maD
from Raritan Township for J. H. T.
Martin’s place and the local men stood
solid until Raritan withdrew, then
they offered to support Woodbridge.
State Assessor Theodore Strong and
W. H. O. Jackson were the figures
around whicli the delegates surged as
they arrived in Association Hall.
Henry Banker, Robert Caison, Sheriff
Carman, John H. Conger, Charles
Russell and Andrew Church were also
much sought after men. Milton Edgar
r seemed very much dejected by his
I defeat. Congressman Howell was on
L hand, but did not seem to be playing
B anv part except of a spectator.
■ The convention was long delaved in
B^ie morning. Chairman Edgar did
■■t call it together until after 12
HH'lock. ■__

NOMINATION.
Declares He Cannot Talk on the
Subject Until he is Offici

A COOD’CANDIDATE.
All Republicans, for the Rood of the Party,
are Hoping he Will Run—Daclare he is
the Strongest Candidate that could be
Named—Has Excellent Record— Declar

The statement made by the Perth
Amboy delegation to the Republican
county convention that the nomina

for assembly, was a complete surprise
both to the party leaders and Mr.
Conard, and that they did not know
whether he would accept, led to some
PENFIELD’S
CONCERNS IN
LITIGATION.
Receiver Appointed and Creditors
Held Meeting Yesterday
Many Plants Concerned.
SLIGHTLY HIT HERE.
Local Financial Institutions Held but Lit
tle Paper of Companies— This has
Outside Endorsements—Penficld had
System of having One Company Own
the Other.
The creditors of Raymond C. Pen
field- the promoter, owner and part
owner of the various clay, clay-work
ing and brick companies which were
put into the hands of a receiver by
Justice Hall in the Supreme Court on
Tuesday, had a meeting with the re
pres' utaHves of the Continental Trust
Company, yesterday. The meeting is
understood to have been held at the
trust company’s offices, 28 Broad
street, in the morning.
Nearly forty creditors of Mr. Pen
field and his company were present.
They were headed by representatives
of several of the strongest hanks in
New York. There were also repre
sentatives of other important banks
and trust companies from all over the
01. an try. Mr. Penfield’s operations
extended all throngh the middle west
and to Mexico.
Both the First National Bank and
the Perth Amboy Trust Company hold
some of the papers of the company.
T re amounts are small, however, and
both concerns are well protected by
outside endorsers. It was stated this
morning that neither concern would
lose by the failure.
One of the smaller creditors explain
ed last night that the aggregate of
Mr. Penfield’s companies’ indebted
ness was almost j>3,000,000, the facts
justified the supposition that the
whole business might he pulled out of
the'hole.
J. A. Green, although he was one
of Mr. Penfield’s executive officers
with Robert W. Lyle, signed the
affidavits on which the petitions for a
receiver as presented to Justice Hall
were based. The affidavits made by
Mr. Green and attached to the peti
tions afford material for the following
schedules:
Raymond C. Penfield owns all the
capital stock of the Mexican Clay
Working Company of the City of
Mexico, the American Clay Working
Machinery Company, the New York
Blower Company, the Standard Fire
Proofing Company.
The American Clay Working Ma
discussion in political circles as tc
Mr. Couard’s willingness to run.
Everyone is hoping he will, as far as
party success is concerned, but it was
realized tnat Mr. Conard is a very
busy man and there was some doubl
whether or not he felt he could spare
the time. When asked about the
nomination this morning Mr. Conard
had this to say:
“I have not been officially notified
of my nomination as yet, and until
such notificiation is received, I cannot
say whether or not I will accept the
honor. ”
When asked if he thought he would
consent to mu, Mr. Conard said: “1
would not like to say anything until
I receive the nomination by official
notification. ’’
Those who want to see- one of the
best men in Middlesex county repre
sent them in the assembly, are anxious
that Mr. Conard consents to his name
being placed on the ticket. For a
popular candidate and vote winner it
is admitted on all sides that Mr.
Conard cannot be surpassed,
ACCUSED OF STEALING
BROOKLYN BOAT
Local Young Man Arrested—Be
lieve the Case Will Comi
Out All Right.
Detective-Sergeant O’Farrell, of
Brooklyn, came to this city yesterday
afternoon with a warrant for the
arrest of Guy Mallet. Patrolman Mc
Dermott arrested Mallet, and after an
examination he was released until
wanted.
Mallet has been employed at the
Columbia Engineering Works in
Brooklyn. Last Saturday, it is alleged,

to this city aboard of it. Young
Mallet declared that he had permis
sion to take the boat. He did not go
iway on the boat, but simply came to
this city and moored the boat, where
it still lies. The charge of grand
larceny is made by William Lenoki,
if 608 Green street, Brooklyn, an
iwner.
People familiar with the case do not
lelieve that Mallet, who is only six
een years old. had any intention of
tealing the boat, for, they argue, a
>erson wishing to steal a boat- would
lot bring it to the city where it was
milt and thus well-known. Mallet

nd it is thought he will come out all

IBOYS ASKED
WHERE WERE
MOSQUITOES.
Mr. Bunten had Fine Time on
his Tour to the Pacific
Coast.
AT CAR. ENCAMPMENT
George R. Bunten has returned to
his home in this city from his Western
trip. Mr. Bunten first went to San
Francisco where he took part in the
parade of the G. A. R. veterans who
held their national encampment at
that place on August 19.
In conversation with a News report
er this morning Mr. Bunten said:
“I, with four others, James Smith,
, San or V ce Comm nder of South Ri
ver Assistant Adjutant General.
George Breigh. of Newark. Vice Com
mander Joseph Colne, of Newark.
Superintendent slum has at last
succeeded in figuring out the number
of scholars in each school compared
with the number of seats. It is as
yet impossible to tell whether No. 6,
when completed, will furnish enough
room.
In school No. 1 there are 688 chil
dren and but 572 seats; No. 2, 672
children and 592 seats; No. 3, which
is at Maurer, 70 children with 100
seats; No 4, 727 children and 600
seats: No. 5, 512 children with 440
seats; High school, 436 pupils with
438 seatB.
From this it would seem that No. 6
would supply sufficient room, but Mr.
Shull said this morning that this
could not be ascertained because so
many parents did not attempt to enter
their children, knowing of the lack of
room, but with the new school open
it is possible that many of them will
apply. If none of these do apply, Mr.
Shull said it is probable that with the
new districting. No. 6 will supply all
the room needed.
In the High school there are 180
pupils, which is thirty more than have
ever been enrolled there.
Regarding the new districting no
thing definite has yet been none. This
is realized to be a difficult task and it
will take some time. It is hoped,
j however, to have it done by the time
; No. C is opened on November 1st

It was reported at police healquart
ers at 5.40 o'clock this morning that
the Central railroad depot at Maurer
had been broken into during the night,
but that nothing had been taken.
George Loeser later reported that
he had seen two men in the neighbor
hood with a horse and wagon about
that time.

and delegate Edward Marks, of Eliza
beth, arrived in San Francisco to
gether. We went to the rooms of the
department of New Jersey in the
Palace Hotel.
“On the day of the march,” Mr.
Bunten continued, “there were 52
veterans in that line of 10.000 who
were from New Jersey. This was the
largest number present from any East
ern state.
“San Francisco was ablaze svith
light on the night of the march. The
parade was two and a half miles long
land on Market street the veterans
I passed beneath two arches seventy-five
feet long. There were so many elec
tric lights on the arches that it was as
bright as day. ”
Mr. Bunten has a good story to tell
liis friends.
“While we, fifty-two from New
Jersey,” he says, “were on the march,
almost at every corner we would be
met with the cry from numerous small
boys, 'Hey! Mister, where’s your
mosquitoes?’ ” Mr. Bunten says that
if the veterans from New Jersey Jiad
only thought of this before they would
have had hand bills with a mosquito
on it printed and they would have
distributed them as they walked
along.
After the encampment Mr. Bunten
took a trip througn California. He
met James Growney and Louis Hall.
' of this city, who were also on a trip,
Jand Grandell Peets and Carlton
Owens, formerly of this city. Mr.
Bunten brought home with him one
of the 37th annual encampment buttons
and it is now on exhibition in Mc
Cullough’s window. In all, eight of j
the buttons are in New Jersey.
