II * CAMP FIELDER, Sea Girt, July 31.—
2 i They came to Camp Fielder in droves
J • today, did the Hudson county cohorts,
* * for it was down on the governor's
•2 invitation cards as “Hudson Day"
{J here, and the denizens of the big
j v county in North Jersey only need a
wj t hint to take possession of old or
, l newly-discovered territory.
. * ■ Every west-bound train on the
2 ; Pennsylvania and Centra] railroads
i ». that stopped at the little railroad
J ‘ station unloaded large detachments
■ ■ of men and many women.
■ J; Camp Fielder was the Mecca for
all, and long before noon the camp
1 ground in the vicinity of the "Little
■ i i White House" swarmed with visitors,
f \ Automobiles brought more visitors, a
* I caravan-like stream of machines,
* * bearing residents of Hoboken, Wee
I! haw ken and the West Hudson towns,
i<• arriving well enough in advance of
1J the time set for lunch for the new
1 * comers to be in at the feast.
Democrats Full of Fight.
2 l There were lots of Republicans in
J ‘ the throng, yet they were lost in the
< . shuffle of Democratic politicians and
J 2 office-holders. The Democrats were
■ 2 there to tight over the shrievalty
5 2 situation and any other old thing that
> e bobbed up and was worth fighting
J ]| about. The Weehawken automobil
i lsts were on hand in their might to
J J urge the building of a bridge in which
t • they are interested. In their judg
J J ment Governor Fielder's influence will
* i be a great help to them and they are
*5 going to have that influence or know
i ■ the reason why. 1
Wlttpcnniten Ignored.
J 2 I* was observed that the invitations
* * to the "Governor’s Day" event had
} 2 been distributed generally among
I * those expected to aid Congressma r
J ; Kinkead in his shrievalty aspirations,
* « the Wittpennites, the Closseyites, the
* 2 Grothites and the Clarkites having
I • been studiously overlooked.
j J Wherever a Wittpennite was found
i * to have received an invitation it was
J J said to be a mistake and a serious
■ oversight.
J 2 The Fourth Regiment, whose home
* » is in Jersey City, is in camp this week
t * and is, of course, the centre of attrae
| J tkm, although the Second Regiment
* boys are not without their admirers.
***~ The luncheoen will be served as
~ usual, under the group of willows on
the lawn north of the Little White
House. It is expected that about
600 will be present besides the offi
cers of the two regiments in camp’
at the present time. General Albert
L. Mills will sit with Governor Field
er at the luncheon. Late in the aft
ernoon the Governor, with General
Mills, will take the review 6f the
Second and Fourth regiments.
The Second regiment boys are
united tonight after hostilities which
have extended over more than thirty
hours, during which time three bat
tles have been fought. Late this aft
ernoon the final combat of the man
euver took place about two miles
southwest of Lake Como, when the
Blue sought to rout the Reds from
a strategical position which they
I gained this morning.
William F. Clossey, the Boulevard
i police chief, who is a candidate for
sheriff and is fighting Kinkead, was
said to have been early on the scene,
whether he was over looked in the
invitations or not. He did not show j
up at the oamp ground, but It was
said that he was in Sea Girt.
Should, he and Kinkead meet and
participate in an argument as they
have been doing of late. Governor
Fielder may find it necessary to call
out the militia.
. NEW QUESTION IN
NEIGHBORLY WAN
-r -
Vice-Chancellor Emery today re
— served decision until September 15 on
Isaac H. Blanchard's application to
, make permanent an injunction re
" straining his neighbor, Mrs, Rachel
Z- Neill, of 100 High street. Orange,
'.. from Interfering with a sewer pipe
Jv under a driveway used by them in
*“ common in Orange's fashionable Sec
s' on ward. The reason for delaying
•g decision, the vice-chancellor said,
S was to afford Mrs. Neill's counsel,
former Judge Thomas A. Davis, an
R; opportunity to institute ejectment
*•> proceedings against Mr. Blanchard.
R The pipo line in question is now
resting peacefully under several feet
JT of ground, despite the vigorous con
's test by Mrs. Neill, who, on several oc
R casions, personally got in the ditch to
*» stop the workmen from proceeding
•' with the work of laying the pipes. A
m. temporary injunction allowed the
*• Blanchard workmen to finish their
R task, but it was decided by the
*- Chancery Court that if it develocd
E In the lengthy preeedings subsequent
» to the grand of the injunction, that
*Mrs. NeiJI was right in claiming an
easement in the driveway, which was
* disturbed to allow the ditch to be
dug. the pipe would have to be re
■- moved.
There have been many judicial
judgments and opinions raised over
Jr. the rights of the litigants in the quar
9 rel.
I* Mr. Blanchard wants to connect his
P barn with the White street sewer
P main, and his wishes in that respect
have been thwarted up to the present
fc, time by Mrs. Neill’s refusal to allow
Bev her next-door neighbor to carry out
Nk his plans. The courts have ruled Mrs.
Rj Neill has title to one-half the drtve
way, and the moot point now relates
P to her legal rights in the remainder
of the little roml.

ROBBED ON ROAD
Netcong Lumber Dealer Is Vic
tim of Thugs Near
Dover.
Special to the Evening Star.
DOVKR, July 31.—Two masked men
bound and gagged Charles Spencer, a
lumber dealer of Netcong, and robbed
him of $200 and a gold watch early
today. It was about midnight that
Spencer started for home. When
near Budd Bake he was stopped by
two men. who asked Spencer if he
would drive them in his carriage to
Netcong. The lumber merchant con
sented.
The two men jumped into the
wagon. They hit Spencer on the buck
of the head. He fell unconscious to
the bottom of the wagon. The rob
bers then bound 1dm with heavy cord
and drove back to Dover with the un
conscious man in the bottom of the
wagon. About 4 o’clock today Pa
trolman Charles Counterman found
the horse walking down Blackwell
street without a driver.
The patrolman investigated and
found Spencer semi-conscious. He
summoned a physician, who revived
the injured man. Spencer cannot
describe his assailants, as it was pitch
dark at the spot where they accosted
him. The local police are investigat
ing the holdup.
Judge Reserves Decision
in Stolen Horse Case
Special to the Evening Star.
MORRISTOWN. July 31— Decision
was reserved yesterday by Judge Oli
ver K. Day in the District Court In
the replevin suit to establish the own*
ership of a gray horse in the posses
sion of Louts Bloom, of Montville.
The horse, which Bloom said he
bought from a horse dealer named
Berger, who is now in jail in New
York as a'horse thief, was the sub
ject of another replevin suit three
weeks ago. which Judge Day decided
in favor of the defendant after view
ing the animal.
The plaintiff in the suit yesterday
was Henry Battscher, a merchant of
New York, who testified that he had
had a gray horse with a brand mark
resembling ‘*76” stolen from him on
October 8 last year. Bloom In his de
fense said that he had purchased the
horse he has before the Jewish holi
days in September last year. The two
men's description of the color of the
different animals did not coincide.
This case was the third to establish
the identity of some horses that were
stolen by Berger and sold to resi
dents in Montville and Pine Brook.

Carnegie Will Give
$20,000 for Library
Purposes in Dover
Nperlat to the Evening Star.
DOVER, July 31.—Mayor William
L. K. Lynd has received a letter from
James Bertram, secretary of the Car
negie Corporation, stating that $20,
000 will be donated for a library build
ing for Dover, provided the Common
Council furnishes a suitable site and
an annual appropriation of $2,000 for
maintenance.
The amount offered by the library
givers covers the coat of the building
complete, ready for occupancy. iThe
present annual appropriation for the
Free Public Library is $2,360, which is
$360 in excess of the amount required.
The movement to secure a new
library from Mr. Carnegie originated
in the Woman’s Club, the members
of which petitioned the council to
make the request, whirh was done
two months ago.
The present library facilities are in
adequate for the town, and many
books have been stored in the cellar
of the building, owing to lack of room
on the shelves, while the reading room,
Is small and inconvenient to the 1,800
borrowers.
The board of trustees are: Isaac
W. Searing, president; Rev. William
S. Condon, Charles D. Platt, Mrs. Ed
ward D. Neighbour, Mrs. Robert Kill
gore, Mayor William L. R. Lynd and
Dr. J. Wllllard Farrow. The library
staff comprises Miss Martha A. Bur
nett, librarian; Miss Lucy D. Coe, as
sistant, and Mies Bertha Fltxherbert,
substitute.
SUFFRAGE RALLY

Advocates of Equal Ballot
Speak for "Cause” In Mont
gomery Street Edifice.
Mr. and Mrs. Filmore Condit, of Es
sex Fells, and Miss Mariam Oatman
were the speakers last night at the
suffrage meeting held in the Mont
gomery Street Methodist Church un
der the auspices of the Women's Po
litical Union.
Miss Oatman said that unclean con
ditions In stores and the sale of im
pure foods would end when the ballot
is granted to women.
"The women are the ones who must
contend with these conditions,” she
said, "and can do nothing to change
them. With the ballot it will be a
fair fight.” •
Mrs. Condit in a brief talk told
about the polls in California for the
women. “They do not have to go in
saloons to cast their ballot," she said,
"as many of the department stores
are used for that purpose."
Mr. Condit told of the better school
conditions that would exist if the bal
lot was granted to the women.

Fail, Due to Marked Drop
in Prices During Week
NEW YORK, July 31.—The suspen
sion of S. H. P. Pell & Co., cotton,
coffee and stock brokers, was an
nounced on the floor f the cotton ex
change today.
At the offices of 8. H. P. Pell & Clo.
all information as to the suspension
was withheld. It was reported, how
ever, that a statement would be forth
coining this afternoon. The failure of
the firm, one of the largest doing
business on the cottoij exchange, was
attributed in financial circles to the
sensational drop In cotton values dur
ing the week. *
The suspension of the cotton brok
erage firms of F. J. Frederlckson &
Co. and Homer, Howe & Co., both
small concerns, was announced. The
market was unaffected by the an

Figures for Furnishing Superin
tendent’s Home and Other
Buildings Are Low.
Bids for the furnishings for the
seven huildings composing the new
city almshouse plant w-ere opened at
a meeting of the poor and alms com
mittee of the Common Council yes
terday afternoon. The result was ap
parently a surprise to those persons
who had criticised the specifications
for the furnishings. The critics had
intimated that the furnishings would
he very costly and in the nature of
an extravagance. The bids proved
that the opposite was the case.
It was quickly made manifest that
the critics had used trade terms for
the purpose of insinuating there
would be an extravagant outlay.
Much attention was given to the
proposals for the equipment for the
room of Patrick White, superintend
ent at the almshouse. The bids
showed that the room could be fur
nished for as low as $202. The critics
had estimated it at about $900.
In every case it was shown that
where the critics had set figures
there was an astonishing disparity
and always on the lower side.
Only two firms submitted general
bids for the entire furnishings. They
were William H. Jamouneau Com
pany, of 582 Broad street. $41,999, and
M. J. O'Connor, of the tirm of M. J.
O'Connor Sons, of 132 Mulberry street,
$46,544.64. The critics had put. their
estimates as high as $60,000.
Bids also were received irom omer
firms. These bids were based on
supplying part of the general equip- j
ment The aldermanic committee re- I
serves the right to either accept or
reject any of the general bids, or any
of the other smaller bids.
Tlie bidding was based on specifica
tions written and set forth a monu.
ago by the architects.
Samples of the various articles to
be used by the departments of the
almshouse were purchased in New
ark at the time. The bids must, fol
low the standard shown by the sam
ple goods.
From the low bids offered It was
obvious that local furniture dealers
were not impressed with such trade
terms as "Louis XVI" and “Louis
Seize."
"Prlncpss Dresser," $18,10.
If the name implies anything a
“Princess" dresser for one of the
bedrooms would be exceedingly ex
travagant, but when one bidder said
he would furnish it for $18.10 it put
an entirely different aspect on the
case.
"Hemstitched linen” towels will be
furnished for $6.40 a dozen. Other
linen towels will be supplied at a
cost of $3.46 a dozen. Linen napkins
cost $4.74 a dozen and a satin com
forter for one of the beds will cost
only $4.27. A "Marseilles” bed spread
Is worth only $3.12 according to one
of the bidders and woolen blankets
may be had for $1.62 cents a pair.
One bidder will furnish the super
intendent’s dining room furniture for
$276.60. This includes "solid” mahog
any furniture, which is solid only as
far as a veneer can make it.
Bedroom No. 2 will be furnished for
$44 65; bedroom No. 3 for $58.01, and
bedrooms Nos. 4 and i> together, can
be furnished for $58.30, If the bid of
one of the firms Is accepted.
All the silverware for the dining
room will cost $65.82. In the dining
room silver is included an asparagus
server, which may be had for $3.60;
a steak set for $2.40; salad forks at
$4.06 a dozen; oyster forks at $2.40 a
dozen and, butter spreads for $3.4p.
All the so-called “Cluney” lace bed
sets, dressing scarfs, table dollies and
buffet covers will cost the amazing
sum of $39.38. This Includes a blue
and white scalloped edged linen table
cover, which will be furnished for
$1 04; a dozen blue and white scal
loped edge plate doilies, at $2.26 a
dozen, and linen napklnB at ninety
nine cents a doz.en.
All the fine china In the "terrapin”
dinner set that Superintendent White
was supposed to get for his cottage
will cost the city only $74.56. A con
siderable portion of that price will
include "engraving” of the dishes and
glassware. The engraving will con
sist of the initials of the Newark
Almshouse.
Hard to Impress
•‘Yes," said nonchalant Mr. Wom
bat, “I was in Egypt."
“I suppose you stood awestruck be
fore the grand and solemn Sphinx."
"Well. I gave It the once over."—
