He Ventures a Single Sen tence on the Republican Liquor Plank. BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN? "Ail Opinion as Is an Opinion"— A "Jersey City News" Reporter Tells the Interesting Story of His Pilgrimage to Edgewater. Special to the Jersey City News. Camdbn, Sept. 24, 1889.—The rain was pouring down in a persistent deliberate sort of way which gave the sur rounding country a damp, discon solate appearance this afternoon, when I stepped from a train on the Am. boy division of the Pennsylvania Railroad at Ëdgewater Park, the home of General E. Burd Grubb, the Republican nominee for Governor. When the sun shines and the roads are free from mud, Edgewater Park must be one of the pleasantest spots on the earth. It lies on the Jersey shore of the Delaware river, about sixteen miles north of Philadelphia, and with Its villas and magnificent grounds greatly resembles the villages along the •Hudson in which the merchant princes and moneyed kings of New York have their summer homes. DRIVING TO THE HOUSE. I was the only passenger who left the train at Edgewater Park,and as I stuod on the platform and gazed about me I felt as lonesome as the temperance plank in their platform feels among the Re publicans of Hudson and Essex. After a few minutes' diligent search I discovered the station master and asked to be directed to General Grubb's resi dence. He told me that the General's ".arriuge was at the back of the depot and -ould take me direct to the house. Hefore I could say anything he disap peared and there soon drove up a fashion able carry-all, drawn by a sedate black horse, and driven by an aristocratic looking coachman in a quiet livery of blue with silver buttons. 1 stepped into the carriage, and after a few minutes' ride the vehicle turned into a well kept lane, lined on either side with tall lira and other shade trees, under which fancy fowl and the General's famous game chickens, looking every thing but gamey with their drooping feathers and general bedraggled appear ance, vainly sought shelter from the pelt ing rain. As we sped along we passed frequent breaks in the trees, which revealed Sntcfies of lawn dotted with flowers. Sud enly a turn in the lane brought me in view of the house. It is a low, rambling structure, with plenty of gables and a general air about it of elegance and comfort. Fine old shaue trees overtopped it and hid its gen eral outline from view. The first thing that attracted my atten tion was the General's charming daugh?*· ter, standing at a bay window, the only ray of sunshine in that dull, rainy scene. AN ARTISTIC HOME. A stout, well-fed man, iii an immense choker and white tie. conducted me into a wide hall hung with armor and ances «ΛίΊηηΗο nml πητηγ· ·ν>»· a rare olrl chin.", salver as I sank into the depths of a luxurious arm cliair. in a few minutes General Grubb ap peared. He greeted me cordially. Learn ing that The Jersey Citv News had in structed me to call upon him he led me into a large high room at the end of the hall. Upon the walls hung portraits of ladies and gentlemen in the costumes of colon ial days, ind articles of rare bric-a-brac ■were scattered about in studied disorder. A PICTURE. The General conducted me across the room and gave me a seat before a magni ficent view. A solid sheet of clear plate glass set in a frame of artistically carven wood work extended from the ceiling to the floor. From the house, the lawn gently sloped down to where the Delaware opened out into the broad bay. An island lay off in the distance, behind which were the wooded hills of Pennsylvania, sombre and hazy in the falling rain. The water was as smoth as glass and were it not for the river craft which oc casionally swept by I would have thought that 1 was looking at a picture. OKTTINO DOWN TO BUSINESS. When I had fully taken in this magni ficent view I asked the General what con struction he placed upon the temperance plank in the Republican platform. He relapsed into a brown study forsomc time, and then said:—"Will you write ex actly what I say?" I replied that I would take down his exact words, and after an other study of a few minutes he said with deliberation:— Λ DELPHIC UTTERANCE. "The party has expressed a willingness to leave that matter with the people and will follow out whatever course the peo ple shall decide will be bjçt for the eradi cation of intemperance#' Further than this, the General refused to express himself, and he requested me to read over what I had understood him to say. I did so, and he said it was cor rect., jLLi spvuaiuj^ ui. vue ^ajLuuttitsU ueucrui Grubb said:—"The Republican party has paid me such a magnificent tribute in the enthusiastic nomination It has tendered me, that I owe it to them to prosecute an aggressive canvass, which I propose to do. "I shall start out to-morrow and expoct to visit as many parts of the State as pos sible between this and election day. "The nomination was unsought for by me and came to me unsolicited on my Ε art. I do not think that the contest will e a walk over, but if I am not elected I will come pretty close to it." A GENKRAL CHAT. General Grubb then spoke of ex-Gover nor Abbett, who, he said, was a friend of liis. He also expressed a hope that per sonalities would not enter into the can vass. He referred to the story of his residence in Philadelphia, and declared that he had no home there, that he was born in New Jersey, and had always lived here. "Why, they even refer to my parting my hair in the middle," he laughingly eaid, running his fingers through his iron gray locks, "but I do that because I have a cowlick and cannot part In any other General Grubb then talked with me about his park, his ice boats and game chickens, and then I took my depart ure.. _ K. A. K. Ives' Narrow liacipe. The jury in the Ives cane has disagreed and have beed discharged by the Court. Thev stood nine for conviction, two for acquittal and another could not make up his mind as to the guilt or innocence of (he defendant.

THE FURNITURE IS EMMA'S. James Hasketh Paid the Money, but tlie Itecelpt Was the AVoinan's. The lines of James Hasketh and Emma Commerce have not fallen in pleasant places. Fifteen years ago Emma was the happy wife of Charles Commerce and lived with him in Jersey City. She had some trouble with her husband and claims to have obtained a divorce from him. Ouc of the principal reasons for this divorce was James Hasketh, a handsome young merchant who won her affections away from her husband. Hasketh appeared to be in love with Emma himself, and after a short time they agreed to live together. No marriage ceremony was performed^ The life of the couple was not as happy as they expected. They were continually lighting, and Hasketh did not think it beneath his manhood to beat Emma soundly when she disagreed with him. Several children were born, but this did not seem to change Haeketh's surly disposition or make Emma's lot any easier. Hasketh was earning good wages and furnished his home at No. 170 Montgom ery street in handsome style. Emma ordered the furniture from Han lev, and, although Hasketh's money paid for it, the receipt was made out in her name. Two months ago Hasketh rose one morning and without giving her any ex Elanation packed his trunk and left the ouse. He did not return for weeks, but in the meantime paid the rent for the rooms. Finding herself deserted Emma moved further up town and took the furniture with her. Her affection for Hasketh seemed to have died out entirely, and when Dennis Birdtwiskel began to be at tentive to her sho listened.to him very kindly. He told his love, and they agreed to shake the dust of Jeraev Citv off their feet. They moved to Newark, and tue furniture went with them. Hasketh heard of their flight, and while he cared little or nothing tor Emma, he did care most decidedly for the furniture. He made enquiries, and with the help of Constable Dillaway managed to find the couple at No. 134 Common street, Newark. Emma had resumed the name of the husband from whom she had been di vorced. Commerce and Birdtwiskel boarded with her. Constable Dillaway arrested the couple on a warrant issued by Justice Lowy, and brought them and the furniture to this city. Justice Lowy heard the case this morn ing. Counsellor Manning appeared for Hasketh and Counsellor Puster looked out for the rights of Emma and Bird twiskel. Hasketh turned up in a glorious state of intoxication and seemed to have nothing else to do but call Birdtwiskel pet names. When put on the stand he acknowl edged that he had never been married to Emma and said he did not care a cent what became of her. Then ho abused Birdtwiskel some more. The defence simply produced the re ceipt from Furniture Dealer Hanley to Emma for the money paid for the furni ture, and rested. Justice Lowy took the ground that as the receipt had been made in her name she wa3 entitled to the furniture, and so dismissed the case. The furniture is now in the hands of Constable Dillaway, but will be turned over, to Emma today. Hasketh is mad enough to fight, and vows that he will appeal the case and never rest until he gets justice. HE PLAYED WITH FIRE. Brave Little Five-year-oï'J «foe Habert Laid to Rest. Little five-year-old Joseph Habert, of No. 4S8 Grove street, was this morning laid away in a white casket, a victim of Are as a plaything. On Monday morn ing he was playing with another boy in the rear yard with fire in tin pan; little Joe poked some paper inside the can, it blazed up and set fire to his clothes. τ» ivu uio ^(uiuciuo anauic uo iau uuiuu^u the hallway crying, "Smithio, Smithie!" James Smith, who is employed by Joe's father, heard the little fellow's terrified screams, saw his plight and rushed to his assistance, lie attempted to smother the flames with his bare hands, and was dreadfully burned about his arms and hands in trying to tear the burning gar ments from the child's body. His mus tache was almost entirely burned away. The mother also heard the screams, and taking in the situation at a glance rushed forward with a piece of carpet. In her desperate efforts to save her child she forgot her own danger, and almost by a miracle succeeded in subduing the flames without setting fire to her own gar ments. She carried the little fellow, who was terribly burned about the face and oody, to his room, and did all in her power to alleviate his sufferings. He was a manly little fellow and bore up wonderfully, telling his mother ex actly how his clothes caught flre, and praising "Smithie" for his heroic act. Death relieved the little sufferer that evening, and the mother is nearly heart broken. "BOB" QUINLAN LEAP. Tlio Fire Commissioner Expires at Hla Home* Fire Commissioner Robert Qninlan died this morning. He had been suffer ing from Briglit's disease for some time, but it was not till two weeks ago that ha was obliged to take to his bed. He was born in Ireland forty-nine years ago. He served as a detective on the police force for two or three years, and did not secure office again till, last sum mer, Mayor Cleveland made him a Fire Commissioner. He was a member of Jersey City Coun cil, Order of American Firemen; of Wash ington Council, Order of Chosen Friends, and of the Exempt Firemen's Association. Undertaker Κ, II.

City Collector O'Neill says that party usage entitles him to a renomination for the Assembly in the First district, and he expects to get. In spite of the threatening weather last evening a rousing meeting of the Third District Independent Club was held at No. 435 Grove street, D. A. Donnelly act ing as secretary. Fifty additional names wère added to the roll book, making a total cf IS» members. Speeches were made by Messrs. Gcorgo H. Hechill, Mr. William Boyle and M. F. Holmes. A res olution endorsing Mr. Joseph W. Griffin and urging independent citizens to sup port him was unanimously adopted. The following gentlemen were appointed as an Executive Committee:—Messrs. D. Spencer, George H. Iteehiil, William Boyle, J. E. Burke and Kobert O'Hil liard. The next regular meeting will be held on Tuesday evening, October 8, at eight o'clock, at the above address. There will be a meeting o£ the Demo cratic Club of the First precinct of the Third Aldermanic district held at No. 844 Second street, Jersey City, on Thursday. September S6, at eight o'clock p. m.

Foormsit«r Hewitt wltli s Surgeon and a Niirae Testify a· to the Child's Con dition—The DIother Committed for Trial. Daniel Kiernan and his wife Mary, who were arrested September 16 for neglecting their five-year-old daughter Lizzie until she was almost dead from starvation, had an examination this morning before Jus tice Stilsing. Kiernan and hie wife were In court, and though poorly dressed and bearing on their faces the evidences of dissipa tion, they did not appear cruel or heart less. The woman had an infant at her breast, which she frequently fondled and kissed, while the youngster at times held out its tiny hands toward the father and evinced an affection for the man which was to all appearances reciprocated. THE POOKMASTER'S 8TOIÎÏ. Pool-master Hewitt testified that his at tention was called to the case and that when he went to the house,which is in the rear of No. 505 Grove street, Mrs. Kier nan was sitting at the window bleeding from a cut on the chin. She said that her husband had just kicked her iu the mouth. The woman was intoxicated and the child, Lizzie, was lying on a tick, or a pile of rags. The woman said that her hus band was the cause of the neglect of the child. ur. w. ±i. liaison, a nouse pnysician ai the City Hospital, testified that the child was suffering from bronchitis when brought to the hospital. This disease, he said, could be brought about by bad air and neglect, such as the child had been subjected to. When brought to the hospital the girl was very much emaciated—a mere skeleton. She is now but little better and in a precarious con dition. Mrs. Margaret Dolan, a handsome, fashionably attired young woman, who la a nurse in the hospital, said that when little Lizzie came under her charge she was in a filthy condition. She has evinced a craving for food ever since she has been in the institution which she has piteously expressed in such cries as:—"Please, mamma, give me some bread;" "Please, mamma, give me a drink," and "Please, mamma, give me some beer." DRINK THE CAUSE. Policeman Harrington, who discovered the starving girl, said that lie w as in the house looking for a witness when he found the girl. He then reported the matter to the station house, and the child was taken away and the woman arrested, as stated before. The policeman also said that he often saw Mrs. Kiernan on the street intoxi cated. She would carry beer home in anything that would hold the liquid, and was a frequenter of all the low saloons in the neighborhood. Policemen Gannon and Finn corrobor ated their tellow policeman's story. THE PARENTS' STORY. Mrs. Kiernan said that she had a good reputation and that the child would not eat the bread that was offered to her al though she was continually crying for something to oat. Kiernan said that he always worked hard and took care of his children. Justice Stilsing committed the woman for trial under the act in reference to the cruel treatment of children, and held her husband for further examination. The woman begged hard not to be sent to jail. PRISON KEYS BKOKEN, And a Locksmith Wouldn't Trust the County for Making Two New Ones· Underkeeper Tieruey yesterday, as was his custom, locked the prisoners in their cells after dinner. At one o'clock he went to the corridor to let them out to go to work. The first lock he placed the key In broke the key.and as this one unlocked all the cells on this corridor and thero was no duplicate, the prisoners were doiiblv imurisoned. Until a kev could be lu ado they could not be released. County Superintendent Gannon was at the penitentiary at the time and he said he would order two keys to be made at once. He went to a locksmith on Newark avenue and gave the order. "Are theso keys for you or for the Free holders, Mr. Gannon!-" the locksmith in quired. "The county, of course," was the reply. "Well, then, I can't make them." "Why not?" "Because I will never be paid for my work," said the locksmith. The County Superintendent said that be would be personally responsible for the bill and the keys were made and last uight reached Snake Hill. The county credit is not very high in tho opinion of that loccksmith. ED i'AKBEU'S MISERIES. He Calls It Financial Embarrassment and Hopes to Square Up. Assemblyman E. P. Farrell, of Hudsoni who has been sued by a client to recover Ê200 entrusted to him and his former part ner, William J. Kearns, to pay a judg ment, was seen last evening at his home, No. lOti Fifth street, Harrison. He said that he had not Deen away; that he at tended church on Sunday, and yesterday ivas at his office in the morning and in the ifternoon went to Orauge, expecting to receive some money, but was disappointed. He says that he is embarrassed. "Since tho death of my wife, to whom I bad been married only a few months," he mid, "I have hardly been myself, and mnnv tliiiim I should have done 1 have emitted. I cau pull through this matter, but 1 am not capable of doing anytliiug today." Mr. Farrell, when he purchased the Kearney Record, paid $1,11*1 cash for it. The Record is to be published as usual under the care o£ Manager Dolau. Mr. Keams says that when the partner ihip between Mr. Farrell and himself was lissolved, negotiations were pending for the cancellation of McCue's judgment, :he firm having been advised to cancel it Cor as small a sum as possible. After the Jissolution Mr. Farrell had the matter iu :harge. The ret le About to Go. One of the happiest children in the city today is Mary Stemner, the little Ho t>oken girl who broke her arm while playing with companions two months igo. She was taken at the time to Christ Llospital and has been an inmate ever iince. This morning the splints fvere removed from her arm and she was informed that she could return home tomorrow. She has since been indulging η the wildest delights her situation af forded, romping among the ward3, an nouncing her intended departure to the patients, and trumpeting the praises of ,he hospital officials to pationts and vini :ors alike. She has been the pet of the jlace since her arrival, and every one is sorry that she is about to go. Swindled by Worthless Patent. George W. Berrill complained to the police today that John S. Low had iwindled him by inducing him to buy the iiew Jersey agency of a syphon that ivery liquor dealer would want to use to ivater his liquor. He exchanged his houso md lot in Columbus, Ohio, for the sy phon, and had found that the patent right he had bought does not exist. A QDESTIONOF SCHOOLS. Superintendent Poland Re ports on Their Condition. FIGUEES OF OVEBCROWDB1G. Almost a Thousand Refused—The New Schools, It was six o'clock yesterday afternoon before the Board of Education got down to business. It adjourned at seven. This is what was done in one hour:— Clerk Westervelt read two communica tions from Miss Lillie Fugel and Miss Annie Outwater, two local gradnatee, asking for positions as teachers in the public schools of Jersey City. The com munications were referred to the Com mittee on Teachers and Salaries. The resignation of Genevia Day, a tioi'hor in the rnnlo Honort.mpni nf Vn 11 School, was reoeived and accepted. Superintendent Addison ri. Poland re ported that he had visited nearly all the schools since the reopening. He had found evidence o£ repairs in some, and all were In as freeh, neat and clean a condi tion as it was possible for the janitors to put them. He hod found both teachers and pupils in their respective places, and all manifested a disposition to settle down to hard work. The mont unpleasant thing he had to report was the overcrowded condition of all the schools. He then submitted the following report, basing his comparisons upon return figures collected last year in a round he mtide of the schools two weeks after they reopened. This year the round was made during the first week, and the figures at the end of next week will no doubt be materially altered. lu No. 1 School he found 7 pupils less than he found two weeks after the schools reopened last year. In No. 2 School, 9 less; No. 3, 43 less; No. 4, 48 more; No. 5. 14 leas; No. 0, 10 more; No. 7, 2 more; No. 8, 22loss; No. 9, 9 more; No. 11, 16 more; No. 12,14 more; No. 18, 10 less; No. 14,17 more, No. 15, 21 more; No. 16, 6 more; No. 17, 2 less; No. 18, 2 less; No. 19, 14 more; No. 20, 54 more; No. 21, 54 more. ALMOST A THOUSAND REFUSED. Nine hundred and fifty-one pupils had been refused admission on account of a lack of school accommodation during tho first week. At the end of two weeks after the reopening last year the total number of refusals was but 348. No. 1 School has turned away 77 candi dates for admission; No. 2. 7; No. 3, 50; No. 4, 83; No. 5, 2; No. 6, none; No. 7,182; No. 8, 216 (the last two are run ning half-day classes); No. 9. none; No: 11, 15; No. 12, 102 (half day classes); No. 16, 30; No. 13 (in Lafayette), 157; No. 14 (where no five and six-year-old children are brought for admission), 67; No. 15, none; No. 10, 36; No. 17, none; No. 18 (West Bergen), 7; Nos. 19, 20 and 21, none. •'Although," said Mr. Poland, "the city has increased in population during the looked for iu the schools. There are now nearly 500 moro pupils enrolled than were enrolled at this time last year." Director Kelly informed the Board that Mrs. Tumulty, the jnnitress of No. 3 An nex School, had not reported for duty since the schools reopened, and that he had placed Mr. Thomas Corcoran in the vacant position. The position was de clared vacant and the action of Mr. Kelly in appointing a new janitor was sus tained. Mr. Kelly also reported that the roof of School No. 1 needed reuatring, al though work had been done upon the same roof during the vacation months. Director Moran reported that he was unable to open School No. 9 on time on account of some kalsomining which the Rev. Mr. Brett, who is agent for the property, ordered done just before the regular time of reopening. The school is now, however, open, and everything is running along smoothly. Mr. Reid, the uew member, offered a resolution changing the hour of meeting from five p. m. to half-past seven p. m. The resolution was laid over till the next meeting in accordance with the rulos gov erning the Board. LAFAYETTE SCHOOL. Mr. Reid offered another resolution au thorizing the committee on the new school house in Latayette to ascertain what furniture is needed and to advertise for bids. Mr. Muldoon did not think the Board had the power to do this. It should be left to the Board of Street and Water Commissioners. Mr. Reid responded that he only wanted to urge the matter of putting the school in a condition for occupancy. He and Mr. Poland had visited the schools of ],fayette and found them in a frightfully overcrowded condition. The resolution was passed, and Mr. Reid was appointed to 1111 the vacancy on the committee on said school. Warrants were ordered drawn for the payment of salaries of officers, teachers anil janitors In the employ of the Board. The Minnaker chart was ordered added to the list of text books in use in the pub lic schools and the Unique pencil shapener placed among the school supplies. Director Piingstcn reported progess on the night school project. There was some hitch iu getting the committee together to confer with the Board of Finance con cerning the $3,000 appropriation asked for. Director Dugan offered a resolution authorizing the reopening of the Training School, on Monday, September 30, for six months, to be governed 'ov the same rules as last year. Ί he resolution was passed. Through a resolution offered ny Di rector Moran, the semi-annual examina tion of teachers for license to teach iu the public schools of this city was ordered held iu the office of the Board, commenc ing Monday, September 30. KOH A FIFTH D1STIUCT SCHOOL. The followiug resolutions were then of fered by Mr. Dugan:— Whereas, Under and by virtue of section 21 of the new charter of 1889, one quarter of all moneys received for licenses granted, ufter the passage of said act, from the sale of liauors and to be iiept apartand to be expendud for tbc con struction and furnishing of buildings for the ΐνΙ.Λ/.Ι0 nnuirtnuinf nf ms McLaughlin, Clerk,

The Jersey City and Ber gen's Latest Stroke of Enterprise. STORAGE BATTERIES TO BE USED. Except Possibly on the Hill Sides Overhead Wires Will Not Be Employed—A Talk with Mr. Thurston. At the meeting of the Board of Alder, mon last evening, Mr. O'Neill asked that the ordinance authorizing the Jersey City and Bergen Railroad Company to use eiectrlc motors in the propulsion of Its cars, which wa« Laid upon the table at the meeting of Sep* tember 10, be again taken up and disposed of. This was done in the midst of a lively discussion. Aiuuiiuuii xrijçjie wauoea co Know whether the company intended to nse the "storage" or the "overhead" system. Alderman O'Neill said he presumed that the company would nse whichever eystcm best suited it. The overhead sys tem was in vogue in Boston and other cities. He didn't see why it should not be instituted in Jersey City. Alderman O'Rourke protested. He said that the overhead system was dan gerous to life and property. Alderman O'Neill claimed that the Aldermen had no right to specify what system the com pany should adopt. It was absurd to object to the passage of the ordinance. He called for the previous question,which was carried by a vote of 8 to 4. ABOUT THE MOTORS. President Charles B. Thurston, of the Jersey City and Bergen Railroad, was poring over figures and details in his office in the First National Bank building when I souzht him this morning for fur ther information as to the designs of the company. "It is not fully decided," he said, in reply to my question, "what kind of motor will be adopted. If it can be demon strated that the storage battery system will work on our hillsides satisfactorily, we shall adopt that in preference to any other. The overhead system we know to be a success from tests made in Richmond, Boston and other cities, and in all probability on the hills or in the thinly settled sections we shall have to resort to overhead wires. We wish to make tests of both, and shall certainly, everything else being equal, select the one that Is least opjeotionable to the public." """"6 i-uno ow»reu t^cucx tiny vy*4t»V IUD purpose of the company is, Mr. Thurston went into more specific detail. He gave me to understand that the company will use the storage battery system in the lower section of the city, ana It is not im possible that the storage battery will be in use on the level places on the hilltop. It will doubtless be necessary to use the overhead wires on the hill side. They may be used, however, only to pro pel cars. The storage battery car when it reaches) the foot of the hill will be switched to the end of one of the over head wire cars, and hitched to it to be drawn up the hill. The company has al ready put in switches at Montgomery street with that object In view. MAKING A CHOICE. Mr. Thurston could not say how long before the new system will be introduced. He had a box full of propositions from companies owning all Binds of motors. Each one of these is to be tested with the aid of experienced electricians, and the best of the plans will be selected. It is probable, he intimated, that the power for experimental purposes will be taken irorn the electric light plant. "That clectric car ordinance," said Alderman Jewkes, whom I met soon afterwards, "is the biggest kind of thing tor the city. It will save from five to eight minutes in running time and is ever so much cleaner than the horses are." Mr. Thurston said, by the way, that the maximum speed for which bids have been put in is twelve miles an hour. But the speed can be as high as thirty miles an hour if the company chooses to adopt it, which, of course, the company won't. BOARD OF ALDEKMExV. Routine Business and a Disappointed Lobby. A packed lobby was a feature of last night's meeting of the Board of Aldef men. It had been given out that the Aldermanic Committee on Election would make its report, and as the alleged Jeffersonians had demanded recognition iu the matter of appointments of judges ami clerks of election, α lively little skir mish vas anticipated. It was a disap pointed lobby. A communication from Dr. Leonard J. Gordon and Mr. Joseph A. Dear, of the Citizens' Committee appointed to investi gate the Bartlett water supply proposal, was first read, asking the Aldermen to grant the use of the Aldermanic chamber tor the purpose of holding a mass meeting therein on the evening of September 30. ïhc privilege was granted. Thirtv-flve licenses of various kinds were applied for and granted. Another ordinance for the relief of Joseph Crawford, who is erecting a bay winclow on his property at the corner of Jersey avenue and Sixth street, which extends too far out upon the Bide walk, was also passed, but not before a little lilt between Aldermen O'Rourke and U'Neill had taken place. Mr. O'Rourke saw no occasion to pass the ordinance, as the window was already nearly com pleted. Mi·. O'Neill informed him that he knew nothing of the matter at the be ginning. If Mr. O'Rourke knew about it, he ought to have called his attention to it. He had no time to hunt such mat ters up. Th Board decided to meet today at noon to view the parade of the American Order of Foresters from the City Hall steps. Mr. O'Neill introduced a resolution pro viding for a meeting to be held in the Aldermanic chambers on the evening of Thursday, September 26, for the purpose d£ fixing the precinct lines in the several Assembly districts. Alderman Hauck introduced an ordi nance granting the Bergen Electric Light, Heating and Power Company the right to lav pipes, erect poles and distribute electric power throughout the city. The ordinance was laid upon the table and slips ordered printed. The Board then adjourned. Weather Bulletin.

Φ This paper is Democratic in principles and is independent in its views on all local Questions. REGULAR DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS. For Governor, LEON ABBETT, Cant and False Pretence. There is an amusing controversy go ing on between Mr. Henry A. Potter, of Newark, and the editor of the Sun, Mr. Potter was the delegate to the Republican convention -who, on be. half of the Essex county delegates, rose In his place and repudiated the local option idea as a feature of the party policy. He is just at present virtuously indignant because the Sun has used some plain English about the platform. In the course of that remarkable document the declaraticn occurs that the Republican party "stands for purity, for temperance, and for home." The Sun very justly re. marked that the phrase was simple cant and had no true meaning what. Thereupon Mr. Potter proteste, —it seems to be his specialty,—lie says: "If an honest plain statement on the part of the Republicans of New Jer sey that they believe in temperance, and pledge themselves to enact such laws as will help this cause, and also an emphatic statement on the part of the Republicans of Essex county that they believe that the cause of temper, ance will bo best served by the en actment of a high license law, is hum bug, then your editorial, 'Humbug Across the North River,' is a fair criticism on the action of the New Jersey Republican Convention. Other wise it is unjust, and a mistatement of facts." Mr. Potter was not wise. It is fool ish to play with a trip hammer or a buzz saw. You always get the worst of it. The in proved to be both trip hammer and buzz saw combined, and there is nothing left of Mr. Potter. This is the way the Sun did it:— We confess that we don't quite understand what it is that Mr. Potter complains of. The Trenton platform declared that the Republican party "stands for purity, for temperance and for home.11 This is pure cant, and it means nothing. The platform further declared that the conven tion "heartily and unqualifiedly endorses the ac tion of the Republican minority in the Legisla ture of 1889 upon all questions of morality and of State and party policy.11 Thereupon Mr. Potter himself arose in behalf of the Essex county dele gates to protest against being committed to the jocal option programme. We considered and still consider the protest as manly and creditable to the Essex delegates, although there is beyond question something very comical in the idea of a body of intelligent, men voting to adopt a platform and at the same time distinctly repudiating its conclusions, and refusing to be bound by them. What fault, then, has Mr. Potter to find with the Sun's remarks on this extraordinary pro ceeding? We have not applied the word hum. hill*. rKr«ntlv nr indirectlv. to the miii-ω nf tlm Essex county delegates. Heaven forbid! The only trouble about the Sun's criticisms is that they did not go far enough. It was not enough to say that one portion of the platform was cant and meant nothing. The charge should have been that the whole plat form was cant and meant nothing. Even then enough would not have been said. The truth is the platform was intehded to mean nothing. It was cant because it was intentionally empty, vague, uncertain so that every man might interpret it for him self as he pleased, and for hie neighbor in the manner best calculated to bamboozle that worthy citizen. Mr. Potter and the Essex men come the nearest to honesty in the whole transaction. They made a fair effort to give the thing a meaning. But the rest of the party fell away from them in silence and left them standing alone. Today, through the enterprise of Thk Jersey Citt News, new light is thrown upon the situation. It haa been ascertained, either that General Grubb himself does not know what the platform means, or is designed to mean, or else he is afraid to make hi8 understanding of it public. Our special correspondent called on hi in at his home at Edgewater Parkt and we desire to thank General Grubb for the courteous manner in which our correspondent was received. But General Grubb had really no thing to say any more than the platform had. The correspondent asked him ■what he understood by the Republi can liquor plank. Here is his reply:— "The party has expressed its will" ingness to leave that matter with the people aud will follow whatever course the people shall docide will be the best for the eradication of intem perance." Neither General Grubb's best friend nor the most ardent Republican in the State can claim that this utter ance in any way strengthens the Re publican position. If anything it weakens it, for General Grubb's re mark interpreted amounts to this:— The Republican party has no policy upon the liqnor question at all, but it will do anything the people like, here after. Ypîtutîtiav wnu a VflPV had daV for meetings. There was something in the atmospheric conditions or the subtle psychical influences which worked against the securing of quor ums. The Jeffersonian joint session had an attendance of three; the Free holders' Committee on County Insti tutions turned up the same number; and the new Democratic club, includ ing Mike O'Mara, Billy German and the janitor of Roche's Hall, had the same fatal number at its councils. Improving Transit. Facilities. The one thing that is necessary to the speedy growth of this city is rapid transit; with that there is no limit to the possibilities of the Hill district. Everything which tends to Improve facilities for travel tends to develop the city, enhance taxable values, in crease the annual income of the govern" ment, and hasten public improvements of every sort. It is, therefore, the duty of private citizens and public officials to aid to the fullest extent all enterprises look, ing to the desired end, and when established companies, already con ducting lucrative operations undertake to make improvements' they are deserving of even more credit and more cor dial assistance than new concerns. It is too often the case that estab lished corporations are rather in clined to stand in the way of progress than to aid it. Progress, they are often so narrow as to think, means new expense without, new profit. The Jersey City and Bergen Rail way Company is an honorable excep. tion to this rule. It is about to estab. lish a notable reform in the matter of traction, at its own instance, and at a time when it is pressed by no immediate danger of competition. We are glad that the company has been met in a liberal spirit by the city authorities, and we trust the en terprise shown will be rewarded with both an increase of business and a re .1 a: at.,, a.» —Ο·" X w transporting passengers. A Nkwark avenue locksmith wouldn't trust the county for two keys! Well, who can blame himi The workman is worthy of his hire, even when he toils for Hudson county, and if the Freeholders absorb and squander the hire who will do the work? But why weren't there any duplicate keys for those cells? It is scandalous mismanagement whicli permits such an accident to happen as that described in Thk Jkr sky City News today, whereby all the prisoners in a corridor of the penitentiary were locked in so tightly that not even the keeper could let them out. It might have been neces sary to let those men out very sud denly in case of fire, and if such an emergency had arisen what a scene there would have been!

Finn Scores Marie l»y the Shooters—Tlie Harlem Spider Shows the White leather—McCarthy Accepts nn Oiler· Tlie tournament of tlie New Jersey Shooting Association opened yes terday at Marion on the grounds of the Jersey City Height» Gun Club. The event brought to the traps the crack bird shooters from every section of the State. Tlie scores tell how well and true the competitors can pop pigeons. There was not a contest without u clear record for one or more of tlie competitors and in several instances three or four brought down every bird, or, as tlio veteran Al. Heritage put it, ''Every shot a hit." Heritage was not the only vet. there. Billie Hughes, who is only three points from a septuagenarian, was out with his gun and caught some of the place money. Dr. Piudell, of Newark, who held the office of president of tlie association for four years, was present. George Eaton, wtio is close to his sixtieth birthday, was on hand, and Dr. Burdecte looked on. On Friday, the closing day, the veter ans will have their shoot. It will be the feature of the meeting and will bring to the traps John D. Voorliees, of Bound Brook, who is seventy-two years old; and the Middlesex Guu Citib is willing to wager thousands that there is not a man of his age who can keep pace with him in killing birds. There will be at his side Saul Castle, Charley Hcdden, Sigler, Heritage, Hughes and other old timers who were known as bird shooters nearly half a century ago ana are still able to inaKe Dig scores. The work of young Wolstencroft yesterday attracted attention. He is quick and accurate and rarely missed his bird. Clay pigeons were used yesterday and- today clay birds will be used. To morrow and Friday live birds will be Bent from the traps, and Heritage de clares they are line strong flyers and there will be more misses than hits.

"Cal" McCarthy received a letter yes terclay from tlic Parnell Athletic Club, ol Boston, offering a purse vf $1,000 for it finish tight with George Dixon, the colored bantam. McCarthy lias concluded to ac cept. Dixon lias tho reputation of being r clever tighter. There was a four round "go" for points with ljig gloves on Monday night at α sportinu resort in thiu county. The men were Dick Doorlev and Frank .May and the reward for the winner was a gold watch. In the fourth round May tried to get in a swinger. Doorley ducked and avoided tile blow, and planted his right on the back of May's head. It was a iiard blow and dis located two of Doorley's knuckles. The honor and prize were awarded to Doorley. "Cal" McCarthy will be in tho wind-up with Eugene Hornbacker at the hitter's u benefit entertainment in New York on Friday night. The fight is probably off between "Chap pie" Moran and Kelly, the Harlem Spider. The latter weakened t-Λθ weeks ago. It was an old excuse—a sore hand, and he warned the match postponed. This was granted. Than Kelly objected to the articles of agreement. It was evident that he did not want to fight. Moran was willing to concede anything to have the meeting, and new articles will be drawn to satisfy Kelly. The latter, however, declares tllat the light cannot take place ι or two months, and this simply means that ho will not enter tlie ring against Mornu. AV.

An Incident of tlie Nihilist Reign of Terror in St. Petersburg. Tins, m on every other evening, Pro fessor Alexis Ivanovitch, scientist and director of the Imperial gymnasium at St. Petersburg, pressed a kiss, half ten der, half mechanical, upon the fair white forehead of Dounia, and stole away from the conjugal dotnicilo, while Dounia re mained alone and reflected. Where did Alexis Ivanovitch's nocturnal excursions take him? The prof essor was no longera young man—lie had passed his fiftieth year—and science and his absorbing du ties as director of the Imperial gymna sum, where 500 pupils studied under him, left him no time to devote to amorou3 intrigues. And then, was not Dounia young, robust and beautiful, with her luxuriant auburn hair, her steel colored eyes, and her perverse, enigmatical smile? She was poor, obscure and ignorant when he married her; he rich, a grand dignitary of the Slav university, and councilor to his majesty the czar. But love had conquered all obstacles, and Dounia, daughter of a shepherd of the Caucasus, became the idolized wife of the director of the gymnasium. The seductive Circassian had indeed often triumphed in tho heart of the savant over despotic duty. How frequently he sat by her, admiring her, and listening as she babbled in French, gently criticis ing her linguistic errors. Was not her naive conversation worth a hundred times as much as the subtile literary and philosophical discussions in which he en gaged with the lettered men of St. Pe tersburg? Since sevex-al months, how ever, Alexis Ivanovitch's interest in Dounia's French lessons had flagged. He permitted her to confound the tenses, to ignore gender, and to forget the ele mentary rules of syntax without cor recting her, aa formerly. Moreover, ho left the house regularly every evening and did not return until late at night. Was Alexis Ivauovitch deceiving her? She had discarded that supposition long ago. Dounia was too sure of herself, too proud of lier extraordinary beauty, to suppose she could have a rival. Still, how should she explain Alexis' absence every night? He did not gamble, for the money in the safe was never disturb ed, and it is not usual to visit the game with empty pockets. Once only, a person of unprepossessing aspect and poorly attired presented him self at the door with a letter. Alexis, having read it, handed the bearer a note of fivo hundred rubles without the least remark, the stranger accepted the same without even giving thanks. Gambling debts are not paid in such a manner, and when Alexis was asked about the inci dent he merely answered, "I am helping along a good cause," and Dounia did not dare to question any further. She was patient and waited, hoping the inexplicable absences of her husband would cease soon; the thought to follow and spy his actions never occurred to her. This evening, however, he had hardly crossed the threshold when, en veloped in heavy furs, her face hidden by a hood, and her feet incased in stout boot3, Dounia followed rapidly in his footsteps. She shadowed him through the suosv covered streets, oppressed and anxious, the blood mounting to her tem ples, and her heart beating violently. This conjugal pursuit, in the night and through the snow, did not have jealousy for it8 only motive. In fact, Dounia had not the right to be jealous. Dounia was guilty. A young instructor at the gym nasium, a German named Karl Strueber, profiting by the director's occupation and the isolation of his wife, had won her. And it was the thought of this that tor tured her; that perhaps she alone was guilty and that Alexis was not deceiving able to justify his nightly absence and convict her of treason, ignoble and un pardonable. Ah, could she but establish his faithlessness! She would then bo ex cusable for lier own. This is why Dounia followed her hus i band, on that clear and frosty night, j through a strange and labyrinthine quar j ter of the city, whose narrow streets j wore scarcely illuminated by the myste i rious moonlight, Alexis, having arrived at his destina j tion, was about to rap on the door of a j house, within which all seemed silent and dark, when he paused. Retreating hastily, he hid behind the angle of the bouse and listened. Light- footsteps were coming in his direction. "I am being followed," ho thought. Coolly and reso lutely he drew a revolver from his pock et, cocked it, and waited. Somo moments later a dark form showed plainly against the bright moonlight at the entrance of the alley. Alexis raised his pistol ready to fire. Just then Dounia, surprised at seeing no one, and believing sho had Lcen outwitted, threw back her hood in order I to get a better view of tho locality. The j moonlight revealed her features plainly, I and Alexis, recognizing her, ran from I his hiding place. j "Dounia!" he cried, "what are you doing here, unfortunate woman?" "I was following you, Alexis Ivano vitch," she answered, with trembling voice; "it was wrong, I know, but I could not resist the desire. I wanted to know where you spent your evenings." "Curiosity is very often a bad coun selor, Dounia," said the professor, grave ly, after a few moments' reflection; "heaven grant you may not regret want ing to know that which I had deter mined to hide from you. But. perhaps, I am wrong after all. The wife should hide nothing from her husband, and the husband have no secret from his wife I love you, Dounia; my love alone caused me to let you remain ignorant of certain things, a knowledge of which might prove dangerous to you. Do you know, by the way, that, not knowing who you were, I was about to kill you?" "What, kill an unknown!—one who has never harmed you? You must be engaged in some very graro undertak ing to harbor such a resolution." "Very grave, indeed. But you wished tu see aria liiiuw wim jj.iu donee will work wonders upon the Vital Organs Strengthening the muscular Syslem restoring long-lost Complexion; bringing back the keen edge of appetite, r.nd arousing with the ROSEBL'D OF HEALTH tlic whole physical enercrv of the human frame.

Bhe was given pamphlets to distribute, the names of prisoners and sick persons whom she was expected to visit and bring food to, and other duties to perform. The affiliation of the wife of Alexis Ivanovltch, one of the leaden of the society, and the author of numer ous pamphlets secretly published by the Nihilistic press, seemed quite natural and aroused no suspicion. Ways and means were next considered, and were discussed quite freely before Dounia, who listened as if in a dream to the different plane for carrying out their tragic purpose. The meeting then adjourned. The following day, while Alexis was at the gymnasium inspecting the classes, ι listening to the complaints of students, and attending to his daily routine work, Karl Struebor, the handsome German professor, visited Dounia, who had not yet recovered from the shock the terrible experience of the night before had given lier. So, then, her husband was a con spirator! He was the associate, the ac complice, of those savage men who ter rorized the empire and whose audacity neither Siberia nor the gallows could ar rest. Alexis wished to assassinate the czar! Ah, he filled her with horror now, she waï no more ashamed of her fault, and it even seemed to her that, in deceiv ing him, she punished him for the crime lie meditated. So she abandoned herself to the em I braces of her lover with a frenzied pas sion that savored of the primitive ardor of the dwellers in her mountain home. But Karl Strueber appeared preoccupied. The dull· German! to be meditative at such a time. But he had a mission tc i perform, and waited for an opportunity, although he was for a time disconcerted uy uuuiuittj savage vuiupLuouBiiets». xm last he succeeded in putting the follow ing questions to Dounia: "Does voui husband receive many visits from men of peculiar aspect, who, upon entering, hand the door porter a ticket?" "No, never," replied Dounia, surprised. "Well, then, does ho go out often?" "Every evening," she answered, promptly, paling immediately thereaftei as she thought of the terrible meeting which she had attended. In the mean time, a light dawned upon her. Whj did her lover ask her these questions' Who was this German, concerning w lion: vague rumors had reached her ears' Quite a number of Germane were em ployed in the jjolice—could Karl Struebei be a spy? Struebcr, not noticing her abstraction and carried away by bisdeeiro to obtain more information concerning Ivano vitcli's movements, continued to inter rogate Dounia eagerly, thus exposing himself. Dounia, a prey to conflicting emotions, had answered half mechanical ly, and now realized that she had be trayed the secret of her husband—con signed to the prison, the knout, Siberia, or even to the gibbet, the man whose honor she had already sulliod. A gust of pride and revest swept through her, and the wild nature of the mountain girl asserted itself within her. She had, indeed, consented to betray the husband, but sho would not betray the conspirator. The Circassian never gives shelter to ο spy. lier resolution was taken immedi ately, No, she would not deliver Alexis over to the executioner. She arose, trembling but superb. Struebei* sought to detain her. "Remain," she murmur smile; "I shall return; I am thine for ever." In tliB neighboring room βίκ wrote a few words, called the moujick, and commanded him to take the note tc hie master. Ten minutes later, Aloxis Ivanovitct arrived at the threshold of the chambei where Karl Strueber was tenderly em bracing Dounia. while endeavoring to ob tain further information concerning the vast conspiracy of which the police al ready had an inkling. The next moiuenl the bloody form of Strueber, felled by ι crushing blow of a battle ax which Alexis had torn from the wall in hii library, lav stretched at Dounia's feet while Alexis, with fiery enthusiasm cried: "Rise, Douuia, wife of my bosom Thou hast aided us to punish α trencher ous spy. Thou art a second Judith, mj beloved!"—Translated for The Argonaui
