LOCAL POLITICS
BUZZING AMONG
THE DEMOCRATS.
*—
Everybody Interested in Who will be Nompd for Alderman-at-Large
-.Several Men Suggested but Slatei has not yet been Fixed
Sufficiently to Name Date for Convention—Adam Eckert, John
Donohue and William D. Voorhees Names Mentioned.
While the Democrats are giving a
great deal of attention to county
politics just now, the local situation
is not being neglected and no little
interest centers in the selection of a
man to run against John Pfeiffer Jr.,
the Republican nominee for Alder
man-at-large. Several names have
been mentioned, but it i« quite evident
no slate has yet been fixed.
John Donehue, the former school
commissioner, has been mentioned
quite prominently of late. Mr. Done
hue pollen a big vote when he ran for
the school board and those who favor
him claim he could beat Pfeiffer. He
is said to have a strong backing. The
names of Adam Eckert and William
Voorhees have also been mentioned.
It is understood that Mr. Eckert,
who has already served two terms as
alnerman-at-large, is willing to take
the nomination again, if the party
wants to give it to him. An effort is
being made to have him renominated.
It is claimed that he is the best man
for the place and has made a fearless
and determined presiding offioer for
the council. Those who are suggest
ing other names than Mr. Eckert are
afraid the labor vote will be against
him'because of his action on the ordi
nance to regulate labor employed by
the city. It is also pointed out that
there has been considerable talk about
one-man power in council of late and
this would help to defeat him.
Mr. Eckert’s friend’s, however,
claim that these features will be more
of an assistance to him than a detri
ment because it shows he has a mind
of his own and is fearless in doing
urhaf ho liolinvofi tfl hft fftr thfi
interest of the city. It is argned that
the city needs a man of Mr. Eckert’s
ability, as a presiding officer of the
council, and if the Democrats will
nominate him he will be a winner.
When Mr. Voorhees’ name is men
tioned for alderman-at-large the
question always follows, whom will
you put up for comptroller? It is ad
mitted by both Democrats and Repub
licans that Mr. Voorhees has filled
that office with exceptional ability.
The Democrats argue* that he is also
capable of pre iding at the council
meeting. It seems to bo pretty gener
ally admitted that Mr. Voorhees
should receive the nomination for
comptroller and some of those who
want to cater to the labor vote ad
vance Mr. Donehue’s name for alder
man-at-large. The latter, iiowever,
will not be named in place of Mr.
Eckert without a determined effort to
beat the present alderman’s friends.
As Perth Amboy has no mayor to
elect thft fall the principal interest
centers in the alderman-at-large.
Several of the wards, however, are
[ * having a little match of their own
which prevents politics from getting
dull.

TWOWACONS I
WRECKED BY
A RUNAWAY
Crash at Stanford and Fayette
Streets Yesterday Afternoon
-No One Hurt.
FENCE WAS BROKEN.
Horse Started Off While Driver had Stopped
in Place—Wagons Badly Wrecked
Efforts to Stop the Animal Seemed to
Frightened it All the More—Driver was
Thrown Out.
A horse belonging to John Buchner,
of 209 Oak .street, took fright at a
passing object while standing in front
of a store at the corner of Stamford
street, at 5 o’clock yesterday. As he
ran he broke down a fence around a
vacant lot on Stamford street and
completely tore off the two rear
wheels of Morris & Klein’s butcher
wagon, which was coming in the
opposite direction.
Yesterday afternoon one of the
drivers for John Bnehner, a bottler,
left the shop on Oak street, witn a
wagon load of birch beer. The first
stop was made at the new saloon at
Stamford and Fayette streets. While
the driver was inside delivering a box
of the beer, the horse became fright
ened and started off. He went down
Stamford street on a gallop.
A number of men tried to stop the
animal, but this seemed to frighten
him all the more. He ran up on the
sidewalk, and the wagon caught the
end of a fence. The crash sent bottles
of birch beer flying in all directions.
Even this did not stop the horse. As
the runaway swung into Prospect
street, around from Fayette, the
butcher wagon was coming in the
opposite direction and before the
driver could get out of the way, the
wagons came together.
The driver of the butcher wagon
was thrown out, but escaped with but
slight bruises. The beer wagon was
baldy wrecked. The runaway was
stopped before it could get away from
the wreck.
IRON WORKERS GET
READY FOR ERECTION.
The iron for the new Raritan river
bridge, which has been laying on the
dock at the 0. Pardee Works, for some
weeks past, waiting toi the iron
workers to get ready for it, was being
loaded on scows this morning and
taken to the new bridge where tliev
will be pnt in place. The work of
testing the foundation was found to
be all right bnt the contractor has
now decided to give the foundation
an extra test and the 450 tons of pig
iron, which were pnt on Saturday,
will be kept on for a week longer.
The iron workers will put up all
the iron beams and frames ion the
foundation for the draw jnst as soon
as possible, bnt the contractor is hav
ing them loaded on the scows and
moved np to the bridge so that they
will be ready when he is ready for

Company’s Line of Steamers

WILL NOT LEAVE.
Report that the Smelter would Probably
Be Taken to Mexico is not Credited by
Local Men - Declare that Mo e Work
than Ever Before Will Keep this Plant
Busy.
There is every indication that the
plant of the American Smelting &
Refining Company, in this city, will
be even busier than ever before from
now on. It is denied by those in
authority that there is any probability
of the smelter being moved to Mexico
as was reported in a dispatch from
Texas.
According to the information learn
ed by a representative of the Evening
News, the line of steamships between
this port and Chili, South America,
will now he kept in constant operation
and the ore which this line brings
will be smelted here. The new addi
tions have recently been completed
and the work has increased with it.
It will be remembered that the dis
patch said ttiat while the trust would
build smelters in Mexico, it was also
to invest large sums of money in
mines. It is pointed ont that the in
creased work these mines will make
will necessitate either more smelters
or enlarging the ones already in opera
tion. Be this as it may, it is assured
that the big smelter on Staten Island
sound will not leave Perth Amboy,
bnt that instead, it will probably be
drawing more men here by its in

NEW LAVIi EFFECT.
New Brunswick, Sept. 30:—Foreign

Judge Strong by the hundred. The
entire proceedings of the Common
Fleas Court yesterday were dispensed
with in order that naturalizations
might have preference. Court was
held in the upper court rooiy owing to
the Grand Jury being in session, and
the room was crowded all the morning
with applicants seeking naturalization
papers.
County Clerk Conger swore the wit
nesses woo signed the applications,
and, after this was done, Judge Strong
made the document legal by attaching
his name. The parties getting these
papers then returned to the office of
the County Clerk, where Mies Whit*

certificates rpntly for them. On se

were formerly a subject, became an
American by law.
There were all kinds of nationalities
represented in the crowd, nearly all
of whom came from Perth Amboy.
There were T5 people in one gang
which came up from that end of the
county. Under the new law each
applicant for citizenship has to hare
two witnesses. Under the old law
but one witness was required. The
new application also contains a clause
in which the applicant swears that he
will not try to take the life of the
President or any official. This has
been added since the death of former
President McKinley.
It was said at noon that there yvere
over a hundred applicants, and it is
expected there will be a larger uum
ber on Friday next, when the Courl
will sit for naturalizations only.
