MANY DONA WONS
WERE RECEIVED
FOR CITY HOSPITAL.
Yesterday was Donation Day and People Responded Liberally--Wom
en Attended the Stands in City Hall Park all the Afternoon
and were Kept Busy—Coot Weather Did not Prevent Ice Cream
being Sold-Had Better Success than Last Year.
-- V
The Ladies Auxiliary of the Hospi- |
tal Association are much pleased with
the results of Donation Day. Yester
day afternoon they received gifts for
the hospital and the citizens respond
ed even more liberally than last year.
The park was decorated with American
flags and a few tables were scattered
about to serve ice cream. The weath
er was too cool for much of fliis,
however, and although all the ice
cream was sold, most of it was by the
quart and was taken Jiome to be eaten, i
A list has been prepared by the
secretary, Mrs. C. W. Sneath, of those
who contributed. This contains forty
five names and will be published in
the News tomorrow. Besides many
vegetables and canned goods, there
was $19.90 in cash realized. This is
very gratifying.
Since the Hospital Donation Day
has been made an annual event many *
nnm» fp hnvp wnitfid until that time to (
make their gifts to the institution. J
The fact that this is only the second I
year and that the donations far ex- f
ceeded the year previous, leads the
women to believe tbat next season (
' will be still better. (

Westminster Committee of
Chamber of Commerce Meets
Tonight to Discuss Matter.
The committee appointed at the Inst
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce
to take up the matter of the purchase
of the Westminster property will meet
in the parlors of the First Presbyter
ian church at 8 o'clock tonight. The
call is issued by the chairman, W. A.
Belcher
When Mr. Belcher was seen regard
ing the matter he said he conld not
discuss the result of the committee’s
work until it had been laid before the
committemen themselves. There is
evidently some action of interest to
be considered. An effort was to be
made to see Mr. Bmen by one of the
committeemen to ascertain exactly
what terms coukl be made in regard
to the matter. That he has been seen
is evident and at the meeting tonight
the result of the interview will be
laid before the members.
BRIDGE CONTINUES
TO WITHSTAND TEST.
Pile of Iron on Masonwork has
Thus Far had no
Effect.
The work of placing the pin iron on
the foundation for the new Raritan
river drawbridge tor the purpose ol
testing it, as told in the News yester
day, continues today. At noon about
three hundred tons find been placed
on the foundation and it had not the
slightest effeot.
It will take several days to get all
the iron on the masonwork and the
contiactor will leave it on the foumla
tion for a fow days so as to make the
test complete.
It is not expected that the weight
will have any effect on the founda
tion at all, for it is built in such a
way that it will easily hold that
amount, it is said. When the con
tractor has finished using the iron it
will be offered for sale to local
factories.

polled five per cent of the total vote
or more. Only the Republican and
the Democratic parties come under
the head. Under section 41 of the
General Election act, the Socialists,
labor men and Prohibitionists may,
as heretofore, nominate their tickets,
and the county clerk must provide
them with ballots as usual.

and bv 8.45 o’clock the convention

tary was instructed to cast the ballot
and the election was unanimous. For
Comptroller, the name of B. Frank
Henry was placed before the conven

There seemed to he some misunder
standing regarding the nomination of
Excise Commissioners. There are five
of these, but six were nominated.
The division was between Jacob Slier
and Max Goldman. EothS men were
pnt in nomination and it wa6~\fhen
whispered about that Mr. Goldsiian
I had declined to run and that JacoBx
Shi-r was the caucus nominee. When\
! the vote was taken, however, Gold
man had seven votes and Slier six.
Mr. Goldman wa«</*‘iev’<*c“ii#~eWrt'ed,
together with William Hoy, Abft^r
Hanson. John Schoonover and J. P.
Axen.
There were four names placed be
fore the convention lor Commissioners
of Appeal. These were L. C. N.
Brogger, Henry Koch, C. W. Barne
1 Uov and W. G. Gray. When the votes
were counted, Mr. Barnekov had but
two votes and Messrs. Brogger. Koch
and Grav were declared the party
nominees. During the balloting J. J.
Deitcbe and John St. John acted as
tellers.
The chairman. Dr. F. C. Henry,
1 named the following committee on
vacancies: J. J. Dietche, William
< Mullens and William Hoy.
A few citizens were present to listen
to the proceedings, ninong them were
one or two democrats. The Kepub
licans are now ready for the campaign,
i having nominated both eountv and
city candidates. The Democrats are
still quiet, but now that they know
what opposition mey win nave, n is
probable they will soon put their men
iu the field.
