TLE-ROUTINE BUSINESS.
At yesterday's meeting of thy Street
and V a ter Board Mayor Fagan appear
ed and asked about the delay of the
Board in responding to the request of
the Finance Board that Chief Engineer
Van Keuren prepare specification and
plans for the improvement of the play
ground 3ite in the rear of No. 9 School
presented to the city by Banker Corne
lius Zabriskie.
President Heintze answered the ques
tion. He said the Board was not aware
that the control of the property was vest
ed in the Street aud Water Board. He
said his Board considered that the action
■ of the Board of Finance in asking for
plans and specifications was merely one
of courtesy, as the Street and Water
Board controls the engineering bureau
and the Board of Finance intended to
improve the playground site.
The Mayor informed the members of
the Street and Water Board that they
were the proper custodians of the prop
erty in question, and he asked them to
take immediate steps'towards puttiug the
: playground site in proper shape. Clerk
Bouton was instructed to draw up a res
olution directing Chief Engineer Van
Keuren to prepare the necessary plans
and specifications with an estimate of
tile cost, and authorizing the Clerk to
advertise for proposals as soon as the
Board provided the money that the im
provement will call for.
The plans and specifications prepared
by the Chief Engineer for the improve
ment of the playground site of the aban
doned reservoir at Ceutral. Manhattan
and Summit avenues, at the request of
the Finance Board, were submitted and
adopted. The Board also adopted plans
for the repaving of Central avenue, from
Ferry street to Congress street.
Chief Engineer Van Keuren suggest
ed that $1,200 could be saved the city
filling in the reservoir olayground with
dirt removed from Central avenue to
make room for the concrete base that
will support the pavin®' blocks in the up
per Ceutral avenue improvement.
President Heintze was opposed to the
repaving of upper Central avenue unless
the lower section was also repaved. He
said he woujd oppose the improvement
as long as he was a member of the
Board unless the whole avenue was to
be repaved. Commissioner Nolan, who
hails from the upper section of Hudson
City, declared that the business men of
that section wanted Central avenue im
proved, and backed up by Commissioner
Rooney finally persuaded President
Heintze to give in. Chief Engineer Van
Keuren figured that the bids for the im
provement would be many dollars below
the estimated cost when the contractors
wire assured that the dirt to be removed
would not have to be' carted off to a dis
tant dumping place, but only to the
abandoned reservoir.
, The Board adopted specifications for
the following improvements to be paid
for out of liquor license monies: Repav
ing of Montgomery street, from Warren
street to Henderson street: repaving of
Central avenue, from Ferry street to
Congress street; asphalting of Bergen
Square: repaving of Hudson street, from
Grand street to Montgomery street; as
phalting of Bergen avemie. from Com
munipaw avenue to Fairmount avenue;
repaving of Monmouth street, from
Grand street to Colden street.
The final contract for the improvement
of Lexington avenne. between West Side
and Mallory avenues, was awarded to
the Uvalde Asphalt Company. Charles
O’Neill got the final contract for the con
struction bf a sewer under the westerly
side of the Boulevard, from a point fif
teen feet south of Spruce street to Floyd
street, to Tonnele avenue, thence to con
nect with the Manhattan avenue sewer.
Joseph P. Ryan was given permission
to swing a banner in front of No. 17014
Pavx^iia avenue until November 11.
The Ransome Concrete Machinery
Company was given permission to erect
a platform scale over the sidewalk in
front of No. 301 Tenth street, to be re

CHIEF OF THE BOY
BURGLARS TAKEN
After a Two Weeks’ Search
for Beojamin Miarchi D3
tectives Prescolt and Gal
lagher Caugtit Elm
PRETENDED TO KILL HIMSELF
HIS THREAT OF HAUNTING HIS
PURSUERS DID NOT DECEIVE
AND THE HUNT FOR HIM CON
TINUED.
After a two weeks search for Beuja
min Miarchi, nineteen years old, of No.
314 Si'xth street, the alleged leader of
a gang of juvenile burglars, who robbed
nearly a dozen houses in lower Jersey
City, Detective-Sergeants William Pres
cott and Altx. Gallagher yesterday pick
ed him up. They had been on his trail
a number of times and got sight of him.
But Miarchi runs like a deer and has a
number of good hiding places. The two
detective-sergeants had been instructed
by Chief Murphy not to shoot, or they
would have winged young. Miarchi.
About ten days ago they "got sight of
him in Grand street. Miarchi was show
ing them a clean pair of heels over va
cant lots in the direction of the Morris
Canal, when the two detectives fired sev
eral shots over his head, just to scare
him aud iu hopes that he would halt and
surrender. But Miarchi did neither. He
kept on running and disappeared. Next
day a pair of shoes and some other arti
cles of clothing were found on the hanks
of the canal, with a letter which reads
as follows pinned thereto:—
“Detective Prescott:—I have commit
ted suicide because you shot at me. My
soul will always haunt you.
“BENJAMIN MIARCHI.”
The two detectives yesterday got on
to the fact that Miarchi, who is under
bail for an offense, was about to be
surrendered by his bondsman. They ex
pected Miarchi to show up ut the.Court
House, and when he did they nabbed
him. Judge Blair, of the Court of Ses
sions. delivered him over to the custody
of the two detectives. Miarchi was this
morning remanded for further investiga
tion.

MERELY
MENTIONED
Finance Commissioner Jacob Ringle
having heard the call of “the people,”
will accept the Republican nomination
for Street and Water Commissioner. All
day yesterday, despite the unfavorable
condition of the weather, there was a
constant stream of citizens at Mr. Rin
gle’s place of business in Newark ave
nue. So thick was the crowd that traffic
on the trolley lines was blocked for sev
eral hours. Many women joined in the
demand that Mr. Ringle should take the
nomination so kindly offered him. by
Mayor Fagan and Col. Dickinson, the
representatives of “the people,” and
thereby save the city from going to the
bow wows. Overcome by the great man
ifestation of confidence in him as dis
played by tire entire populace, Mr. Rin
gle declared it his duty to save the city,
and the shout of joy that went up from
the assembled citizens when he told them
he would run for Street and Water Com
missioner almost shook the abandoned
Police Headquarters building two blocks
away from its foundations. “The city
is saved. Ringle will run for Street and
Water Commissioner.” This was on
everybody’s lips last night.
Thomas P. Connolly will be Mr. Rin
gle's side partner. The demand for Mr.
Connolly’s nomination is not so general
as that for Mr. Rigle, but it is sufficient
to warrant that gentleman, who has not
been out of office since he deserted the
Democratic party four years ago, to try
his luck as a candidate for an elective
office.
John C. Kaiser, who was a member
of the Board of Street and Water Com
missioners during former Mayor Wan
ser’s administration, and whose efforts
to get through that body an ordinance
allowing a grade crossing in Communi
paw avenue caused the former Mayor to
say things that would not look well in
print, will be formally nominated for
Sheriff at the Republican convention to
night. Mr. Kaiser, whose nomination
has been talked about for three years,
has suddenly developed a “holier than
thou” attitude. In a recent speech he
said if he should happen to be elected
Sheriff, Hudson County would have hon
est juries. Colonel Toffey promised the
same thing when he was'a candidate for
Sheriff. According to the Republican
idea,—honest juries” means the selection
of men who believe in the enforcement
of the old blue laws.
Col. Samuel D^Dickinson will not cut
much of a figure in the coming municipal
campaign. Mayor Fagan has concluded
that his c-andiducy will not he strengthen
ed by any support the Colonel will; be
able to give it. so. acting on the advice
of George L. Record and his other advis
ers, the Mayor will relieve the Colonel
from any participation in the manage
ment of the campaign.
The Colonel, however, will not be out
in the cold altogether. He still hold's his
county leadership, through the members
of the County Committee, and he will
open headquarters in Hoboken and pre
tend to direct the campaign for John C.
Kaiser, the Shrievalty candidate. The
Colonel feels the humiliation he has been
subjected to by the Faganites, but: he
will suffer in silence rather than have it
generally known that he is losing his
grip on the Republican organization.
John J. Heavey’s true friends have
convinced him that he owes it to tbe
Democratic party to cut away from Al
exander Simpson and James McBride,
and to give no heed to their advice that
he run as an independent candidate for
Sheriff. Mr. Heavey, so his friends say.
will attend the County Convention and
pledge his support to Egbert Seymour,
his successful rival for the nomination,
thus leaving no doubt as to his attitude.
Mr. Heavey will also discourage any ef
fort on the part of his supporters! to
weaken Mr. Seymour’s candidacy.

ARCANUM'S FATE
Today’s Conference Will De

Will Submit to New Hates
Or Secede
-- v
NEW JERSEY’S BIG PART
men representing the state
ARE UNQUALIFIEDLY OP
POSED TO THE RECENT
CHANGES MADE BY THE SU
PREME BODY. „
_. —
That the fate of the Royal Arcanum
depends very largely upon the outcome
of the conference'of associated councils
of six States in Jvew York to-day is the
opinion of members of the order through
out this section, especially tiioSe who are
identified with the permanent organiza
tion formed in this city Saturday night
under the title of the Association of the
State of New Jersey. Because the name
Royal Arcanum could not life used with
out the consent of the Grand' Council a
substitute had to be found.
In this confab New Jersey will play
no small part, for the med chosen by
this new organization to represent the
State is composed of fighting stock.
They are known to be unequalifiedl.v op
posed to the new schedule of rates, and
will,-it is expected, stand for nothing
short of a radical Remedy. Here are the
men selected:—
David T. Howell, president of the As
sociation of tlie State of New Jersey; W.
H. Van Benthuysen, John Farrell, of
Patterson; J. T. Calahan, of Jersey City,
and James Gallagher, of Hoboken.
These are supplementary to those named
before the formal organization was ef
fected.
These officers, in addition to Mr. How
ell, were elected Saturday night after a
constitution and by-laws iiad been adopt
ed: First vice-president, H. W. Van
Rentbuysen, of Paterson; second vice
president, Charles Miller, of Hoboken;
recording secretary, W. H. Labah, of
Jersey City; corresponding secretary,
Charles Armstrong, of Nutley; treasurer,
C. J. E. Noelte. of Jersey City; sergeant
at-arms, Captain Parsons, of Red Bank.
As an executive committee of the com
bined councils the committee of fifteen,
which was originated in Nutley, was con
tinued in office.
Talk of secession from the order was
strong in the conference, and a resolu
tion was offered to the effect that if it
should be the sense of the Inter-State
conference at Manhattan to secede, the
representatives of the Now Jersey move
ment should pledge its support. After
discussion it was concluded that the
adoption of such a radical resolution
would be premature, and that a wiser
plan, for the present, would be to advo
cate the taking of legal action to enjoin
the Supreme Council from enforcing the
new rates.
While no formal steps were taken
looking to the disciplining of the NeW
Jersey Supreme Council representatives
who at Put-in-Bay violated the mandate
of the Grand Council to fight for uncon
ditional repeal of the new rates, there
was in evidence a petition designed to
bring to trial the four offending delegates.
This is being circulated by Grand Coun
cil members, and to be effective must be
signed only by them. It will shortly be
completed, it was said, and would be
presented to the Grand Council.

The closing days of XorthfielcPs. twen- :
ty-third season of summer conferences
are now on. The season has been one of
the most successful ever conducted. Be
ginning early in June with the World’s
Student Conference and continuing on
through the summer with conferences
for young ladies from the schools and
cities of our states, for missionaries and
Sunday School workers and for the great
body of Christian clergy and laymen the
work has gone on. The - singing and
preaching all through the season carried
an unusual tone of saeredness and power.
More people were there this summer
than the records show of any previous
year.
Following the group of main confer
