MR. CONARD DECLINES;
DR. HENRY SELECTED
BY LOCAL DELEGATES.
>
City Delegates to Republican Convention Met Last Night--Mr. Con
ard's Letter Declining the Nomination was Read and Dr. F. C.
Henry's Name was Chosen—Committee Waited upon Him and
He has Agreed to Run.
-
Harry Conard has declined to accept
the assembly nomination on the Re
publican ticket. He reached this
decision several days ago, but not
until his letter declining the honor
reached the committeemen, was nis
action made public. As a result the
Republican county delegates from
this city met in the office of the Bishop
Company, Scheuer Building, last
night, to select a man to name in his
place. Dr. F. C Henry was chosen
and his name will be presented to the
committee appointed to fill vacancies.
It is probable that he will receive the
nomination.
After the meeting was called last
night Mr. Conard’s letter was read
and his decision not to run was accept
ed with much regret. The uncer
tainty which has hung about the
acceptance of Mr. Conard, had the
delegates fully prepared in case he
should not run, and when his letter
was read last night, the name of Dr.
Henry was proposed at once. A com
mittee consisting of Ira B. Tice,
Richard A. Peltier and Harry O.
Bishop was appointed to wait upon
Dr. Henry to ascertain his willingness
to accept. The committee was appar
ently satisfied with the interview for
it was then decided to present Dr.
Henry’s name to the committee to fill
vacancies. It has been understood
that should Mr. Conard resign, the
local delegates could select liis suc
cessor.
v When Mr. Conard was seen by a
News reporter, in his office in the
First National Bank, he explained his
reasons for not running.
“The letter containing my resigna
tion was mailed Thursday night. In
the letter I stated my reasons for not
wanting to remain on the ticket. In
the first place, which is my principal
reason, I do not think the bank should
be drawn into politics, and my other
reason is, if I should become the can
didate for assembly I could not give
the time to botli that and my position
in the bank. I do not feel that I can
afford to resign my position in the
bank, and try to handle both and be
successful is practically out of the
question. ”
Dr. Henry told a News reporter that
if the nomination was offered to him,
he would accept it. He said that the
committee had waited on him last
night and told him Of their desire to
suggest liis name to fill the vacancy.
He said the local delegates could only
recommend and the nomination must
come from the committee to fill
vacancies.
In conversation with the reporter
H. O. Bishop, one of the committee,
F said:
I “We were very sorry to hear that

Mr. Conard could not accept for he
was just tne man for the place for,
coming in contact with the people the
way he has for so many years, first
while in the employ of the Lehigh
Valley, then again while with the
Building and Loan Association and
now with the First National Bank,
has made him a well known and de
cidedly popular man.
“You have heard, no doubt,’’ con
tinued Mr. Bishop, “many people say
that this was cut out by the Kean
interest, but that it was not can be
seen now, Mr. Conard was not the
man who was looking for the place,
it was a case of the place looking for
the man, and we are very sony that
he will not accept. ”
In selecting Dr. Henry the delegates
have made a choice that will doubt
less meet with general approval. Dr.
Henry is very popular and will be a
great vote winner.
Last Call! $260,000.
To Morris Yenzel, Moscow, Idaho,
came in 1892 a man and ordered a suit
of clothes. Not having enough ready
cash he offered 5,000 shares in LeRoi
mine as payment. Mr. Yensel, I
know him well, would rather have
had taken cash but at that time of the
year, not having much to do, accepted
the offer. He put the shares down in
the bottom of his trunk. A few years
later came a man and wanted to buy
these shareB. He then suspected some
thing and kept the stock. These
shares went to $40 each and ofr lucky
tailor’s shares are now wortlr$200,000
and have earned about that amount in
dividends. A few dollars invested to
day may mean a big thiDg for you in
a year or two. Read last call, in an

FIREMEN ARE
DETERMINED
TO WIN PRIZE.
Committee to Arrange for Parade
Met in Lincoln Hose House
Last Night.
CLAMBAKE PROCEEDS.
Committee Reported and Amount was Turn
ed Over to the Committee- McClellan
Hose Carriage Being Put in First Class
Order for the Event—Provide for Visi
tors in Allentown.
At the meeting of the Allentown
parade committee, composed of the
members of the different hose com
panies in this city, held last night at
the Lincoln’s Headquarters on State
street, the claibbake committee re
ported that they had cleared about
$80. This was turned over to the
Allentown Parade committee to help
defray the expense of the trip to
Allentown and return.
Everything in regards to the special
train is now fixed and the boys and
their friends will leave Perth Amboy
at 3 o’clock Wednesday afternoon.
The hose carriage of McClellan Hose
Company, which the firemen are to
take with them, has been put in first
class order and is now being painted.
The fire laddies hope to get at least
ono prize for all their pains and
trouble. It was decided last night
that all the firemen and friends who
want to get hotel accommodations for
the trip without any trouble, can do
so by depositing the sum of $1.50 with
any of the committee or with William
Hartman, Sr., who is the treasurer.
This sum will entitle the depositor to
a room, breakfast and dinner.
The local firemen have secured the
services of the Lehighton Brass Band,
which is said to be one of the finest
bands in Pennsylvania. After the
parade in Allentown on Thursday,
fire drills and other feats by the fire
men will be given, and the event that
will attraot the most attention will be
when all of the brasB bands and drum
corps will marcli into the Allentown
Park and will plav three selections
together. A dinner will be served to
all visiting friends in the Allentown
park.

ARTESIAN
WELL RUINED
BY CHILDREN.
Boys Drop Stones and Pieces
of Iron Down the Pipe to
Hear the Splash.
A SERIOUS PROBLEM.
Effort Made to Clean the Pipe but it is
Found to Do so is as Expensive as to
h Dr ve Another Well -Place is now
Carefully Guarded to Prevent Further
Mischief.
One of the eight-inch artesian wells,
which has recently been driven at
Plant No. 3 of the Roessler-Hasslach
er Chemical company, has been ruined
by children. While the men have
been awav the cap has been taken off
and the well partly filled with brick
bats. An effort has been made to get
them out, but is now thought that the
well is ruined and another will have
to be driven.
The new plant being built at Me
chanic street and Buckingham avenue
will consume much water and for this
reason two eight-inch artesian wells
were driven, one to supply plant No.
2, already erected, and one to supply
No. 3, in the course of erection. One
was not to be used for some time so it
remained just as the driver had finish
ed it, an iron pipe opening into a
concrete basin. It was pot deemed
unsafe to leave it thus unguarded.
As it was open at the ton, children
of the neighborhood, wandftringiaround
the premises after work for the day
was finished, discovered thel little
round hole and some of thenK con
ceived the idea that a stone vsVuld
make a nice rattling in the pipe afcrd
end up with a beautiful splash. He
experimented and his supposition was
correct. Wishing to share his fun he
communicated his discovery to the
others.
The result, more stones, bricks,
pieces of iron, nails and other articles
handy and of the right size went
down that gaping hole until just as
they were about to stop it became
evident it was being filled up. A few
more stones and it was. Now the
problem of lifting out the obstructions
in the pipe is engaging the attention
of those in charge. A new well may
be driven, for the expense of cleaning
the other will almost equal its first
cost. No wav of obtaining the offend
ers being found, no one was pnnished,
but at present the grounds are closed
and to obtain access in the day is ex
tremely difficult ami after dark more
difficult still.
Last Call.
This is the last day to subscribe for
stock ot the Greyhound Mining and
Milling Co. Our President writes:
“The Greyhound stock can hardly be
bought at any figure at present.”

Mrs. John Takac, who lives in
North Amboy, near the Woodbridge
junction, was attacked in the woods
between her home and this citv this
morning while on her way to work in
the local cigar factory. The assailant
is said to be her husband and the
police arrested him this morning.
The woman was slashed in the face
twice with a knife. She was carried
to her home where she lies in a delir
ious condition. A telephone message
from the railroad tower summoned
the police to the scene.
The woman, it is said, does not live
with her husband. She started to
work about 6 o’clock this morning and
was met in a lonely place in the
woods.
The woman called for help when
assaulted and this scared the man
away. Some of her friends hurried
to her assistance and she was taken
back home. An effort was then made
to get medical assistance. In the
meantime the husband returned to the
house and, fearing that he would do
more harm, the police were sum
moned. At the sight of them the
husband fled. He was employed at
the American Smelting and Refining
Company’s plant and the police went
there in the hope of getting him.
The man was evidently watching
them, for when they left the house,
he returned.
A News reporter found him there^
later, out he could not speak English t.
and he refused to talk through an in- 1
terpreter.
From a ~weEwff-wf>o livea-?5 tls- .
iiouse it was learned that the man *
was supposed to be living with sever
al different women and that a few
days before the one who was attacked
took him to task.
The prisoner is now held in the
lockup awaiting a hearing. It is
thought the woman’s injuries are not
serious.
