THE EVENING GAZETTE

 

' new ansev's CAMPAIGN.

Six Senators and Sixty Members’ 0‘
the Lower House to Be Elected.
.Trenton, Oct. 28. —While the political

battle in Greater New York is about

drawing to a close, the battle for con-

trol of the New Jersey Legislature,
- which means a great deal in the matter
of the selection of a successor to James
Smith in the United States Senate, has
just albout opened in real earnest.

This week all the candidates for the
upper and lower branches of the Legis—
lature which have been nominated, will
file their certificates with the Secretary
of. State, and, as commanded by the
law, that officer will proceed forthwith
.to prepare the official ballots to be cast
in November next.

Besides the election of six Senators
and sixty legislators for the lower
House, there are local contests waging
in nearly every county.

Six Senators are to be elected. Five
Of the counties where elections are to
occur were represented in the last Sen-
ate by Republicans. The Democrats
had Senator‘ Kuhl from Hunterdon
County.

This year the Democrats hope not
only to retain Hunterdon, but to regain
Sussex and MiddleSex, and some pre-
tend to believe that the Democrats
have a chance of defeating Williams in
Passaic, but it is safe to predict Mr.
Williams’ re-election.

The hotel was opened at 4 o’clock.

besides spacious reading and lounging
rooms and pleasant courts. Twenty
cents a night is the rate per room.

where men may wash their own clothes
have also been provided for. There
are restaurant accommodations, with
meals a la cartc from 10 cents up.

Each lodger will have a separate
room—small, it is true, but well venti—
lated by one or more windows and pro—
vided with every comfort. The build-
ing is 100 feet square and ten stories
high, with two courtyards, each fifty
feet square. Elevators are also pro-
vided. Heat and light are furnished

Woman Attenlpts Suicide.
' New York, Oct. 28.—Mrs. Lulu Field,
the wife of Walter D. Field, a chemist,
of Newark, N. J., attempted to commit
suicide last night at the Astor House
by taking chloroform.

A physician was called in, and after
he had labored over her about two
hours she recovered consciousness.
Meanwhile her husband had arrived.
The woman intimated that she had

tried to end her life, but as she was,

barely conscious her statement was not

credited by her husband, who said that.

she had been suffering, for several
months with an organic trouble, and
had, at the advice of her physician,
used chloroform at times to ease the
pain. She had inhaled the chloroform
by means of a paper funnel.

Later an ambulance was called, and
the woman was sent, under arrest, to
. the Hudson Street Hospital. Mrs. Field
{is about 30 years old and has two chil-

ren.

Forming a Wire Trust.

Chica‘go, Oct. 28.—It is given out as
a fact here that a wire mill trust is
being formed, in which the Rockefele
lers and other Standard Oil men are
interested.

The trust will have a capital of $100,-
000,000: It is to control the whole in-
dustry in America, which consumes
1,000,000 steel billets annually and em-
ploys 50,000 men.

The headquarters of the trust will be
Chicago, and the mills consolidated
will be bought outright to evade the
anti-trust law. The plan is to limit
the production of wire.

SALE OF UNION PACIFIC.

The Government Will Get Dollar for Dol-
' lsr of Its Debt.

Washington, Oct. 28.—”The problem of
the Government’s relations to the Pa—
cific railroads has been solved,” said
Attorney-General McKenna to a re-
porter yesterday. “It will get dollar
for dollar of its debt on the Union Pa-
cific, and in consequence of that re-
sult, the Central Pacific must in set-

tlement of its indebtedness pay the
same. It cannot escape from that
now. And this Administration thinks

it is entitled to the credit for bringing
about this condition of affairs. Who
would have thought, even as late as a
month ago, that the United States
would ever get out all the money she
had put into the Union Pacific? I ven-
ture that nobody except President Mc-
Kinley and myself. We started with
a proposition from the Reorganization
Committee to pay $48,000,000 for the
roads; tO-day it agrees to pay $58,000,-
000 for the Union Pacific alone, leaving
the Kansas Pacific line to be disposed
of separately. At most,>if the Kan-
sas Pacific be sold at its lowest possi-
ble price, under the terms of Judge
Sanborn’s decree, the - Government
stands to lose $7,000,000, a large sum, it
is true, but comparatively a small one.
But the Government will get every dol-
lar of its debt 'on that line, as well as
that on the Union Pacific. The Reor-
ganization Committee, in its prospec-
tus, provides for the placing of over
$30,000,000 of securi'ties on the Kansas
line—a fair indication, certainly, of
their idea of its value.

“The sensational publications have
been only detrimental to thelinterests
of the Government,” said the Attor-
“The continual assertion
that the Government had sold the road
to the reorganization committee creat-
ed the impression that it was disposed
of in advance, and it has only been
within the last two weeks that the in-
terested parties} have come to believe
that there was a show for any' one be-
side the committee at the sale.”

Attorney-General McKenna called at-

-tention to another misconception aris-

ing out of the proposition to postpone
the sale.

“The Union and Kansas Pacific rail-
roads,” he said, “have never been dealt
with as one property, and there has
been no division suggested. The
Union Pacific properties are to be sold
next Monday, and the Kansas Pacific
was to be sold on the 5th and 6th of
November, but will now go over until
Dec. 15." _

“Will Coates & Co. buy the Kansas
Pacific?" was asked.

“They may buy the Union Pacific,”
Mr. McKenna. answered. "They have
untiltO-morrow to deposit the $5,325.-
900 of _cash and bonds with Commis-
sioner Cornish at Omaha to qualify
them as bidders under the terms of the
decree. It can be done by telegraph,
if they wan-t to. But I expect the re-
buy the
Kansas Pacific Railroad, as it will rthe
Union Pacific, and pay the full amount
of the Government’s debt for it, after
having gone as far as they have in un-
derwriting securities for it under the
new arrangement."

BY POISON AND BULLET.

Lodger in a. Plalnfleld Hotel Take-
Curbolic Acid and Shoots Himself.

Plainfield, N. J., Oct. 28.—A man
whose identity is riOt known here at—
tempted to commit suicide in Schorb’s
Hotel yesterday afternoon and will
die. He first swallowed two ounces of
carbolic acid and then shot himself in
the abdomen. Scraps of paper which
he had torn up contained the name
andaddress of “Harry Dowdell, Eliza.-
bethport, New Jersey.” He is evidently
aGerman, is about 25 years of age, of
medium height, dark and well dressed.

The stranger entered the hotel about
2*o’clock in the afternoon and asked
for a room, saying that he would re-
main over night. He chose a 35-cent
room. About 4.30 a shot was heard,
and Edward Kellai‘, who works in the
hotel, ran upstairs and found the
stranger lying on the bed apparently
dying. An empty bottle which had
contained catholic acid, a gaping
wound in the abdomen and a smoking
revolver on the floor told the story.
The wounded man was taken to the
Muhlenburg Hospital.

 

Maine Band’s New Leader.

Washington, Oct. 28.—The Secretary
of the Navy refused to reappoint Prof.
Fanciulli leader of the Marine Band.
His term of ofiice expires on Saturday.
The fight against his reappointment
was made by the Marine Corps, and
grew out of the incident on last Me-
morial Day when Fanciulli refused to
play Sousa’s marches in the parade.
He was court-martialed and suspend-
ed. Assistant Secretary Roosevelt re—
instated him, against the protests of

. 1he Marine Corps.

Prof. Zimmerman. of the Naval
Academy at Annapolis, has been ap-
pointed to succeed Fanciulli, who is
from New York and was appointed .by
Secretary Tracy to succeed John Philip
Sousa." \ .

Buflqlo"Ele'vitor Wrecked.
Buffalo, Oct. 28.—The Sturges ele-
vator, controlled by the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company, was destroyed by

fire yesterday afternoon. An explosion '

1f grain dust at about 4 o’clock started
a. blaze on one of the upper floors.
One hundred thousand bushels of
wheat and 160, 000 bushels of oats were
burned. Loss on building and con—

.ents, $150, 000; insured.
