FISK AND IIEIMBoLD.-A moral, says the
Louisville Courier-J Journal, can be found occa
sionaIly cvon in 4 Long Branch letter. Only
two summers ago, James Fisk and llcnlhold
had the most elegant or, rather most expensive
carriages at the Branch. Zach afternoon Fisk
in his carriage, glittering with varuish and gilt
ornaments, drawn by tour horses, two black
and two white, attracted the attention and
shocked the good taste Of thousands Of! those
who saw him there. Usually, be was alone,
but sometimes that brazen, painted woman
who caused his death, sat by his side Every
body looked, but very few were SO mean or
poor as to do them homage. Hchnbolds team
was still louder. lie was ever seen by the side
of his wife, who Is u very pretty woman.

AN IMPuhT. r CAUGHT.

Last evening while Onward lodge,
No. 10, /. o. G. T., were holding their
regular meetin tall person rather
seedily clad applied to the lodge for as
sistance, claiming his name to be
Charles Palmer, of Liberty lodge, 1879
of North Oxford, Mass, that he had
recen ly been discharged from a West
ern hospital and was in need of funds to
send him to Hartford or New Haven
The examining committee gave him q
thorough examination and he was prov
en- fraud, and by his own admission
he acknowledged that he had received
money from individual members of the
lodge some year since. The committee
having satisfied themselves that he WAS
"clean dead beat, gave him ten min
utes to leave the town or they would
place him in the hands of the police.
Sister lodges will take good care and
look out for this imposter. and if he
continues to impose upon the society to
have him Justly dealt with. Onward
lodge never turns needy brother away
who claims aid, but this was clear
proven case of imposition.

l MET my friend Spike at tho depot
on Thursday, who had singular load
for well.to-do citizen. He fairly stag
gered under heavy burden. OF course,
I assisted him, as our homes are in the
same locality. My neighbor inquired if
1 continued to purchase my family sup
plies in Elizabeth. On my answering
in the affirmative, he expressed his sur
prise, and insisted that I was paying
higher prices than many OF our friends
who brought their groceries from New
York. We cauvassed price lists, and
he confessed that his savings were not
as large as he had supposed. He admit
ted that it was desirable to buy mer-
C handise Of ones townsmen, but as he
was obliged to economist be should con
tinue to make his purchases in the mo-
tropolis. He closed the argument by
saying that he would buy string Of
onions in New York Ia her than in Eli
zabeth il one cent could be saved by
buying in the distant market. For my
part, like to encourage HOME TRADE.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

At meeting of the board of educa-
ton on Wednesday evening, the official
proceedings of which we published yes
terday, it was reported that there only
remained in the treasury s1,767.27 of
the annual appropriation, and after pay
ing the bills which were ordered paid at
that meeting, the balance would be- re-
duced to $3.50. This announcement was
followed by short discussion, and re-
solution was offered to close the schools
yesterday. as there was net money sufi-
cient to pay expenses. This was lost by
a vote of six to seven. Another resolu-
ton was adopted, after spirited de-
bate, calling on the city council to make
an additional appropriation of $1,000 to
enable the board to carry on the schools
to the end Of the fiscal year, and, if it
was refused, that the public schools be
closed on Wednesday.

A GREAT CITY.

Within ten years, what is now known
as the First and Second wards will con-
tain more inhabitants than this entire
city now numbers. The bulk Of the
business will also be transacted there.
it'll the opening Of First street, land
We believe this improvement ia desired
by all the property owners, the Second
ward will become densely populated,
and First street will become far more
active than Broad or any other avenue
in Elizabeth.
Within five years, We shall be glad to
remove The MONITOR office to the First
or Second ward, because all that is
worth having will be gained there. We
congratulate the property owners in the
lower part of the city upon the bright
prospect in store for them. We wish
them abundant success, and hope th ey

abundant wealth.

THE CASE IE K0EM Nc.

The trial of Herman Koewing for an
alleged attempt to kill his wife in Schar-
dien's woods about month ago, will be
commenced i'll the Union county oyer
and terminer, before Judge Depue, on
Monday. The prisoner was formerly in
business as liquor dealer at the corner
of Sixth avenue and Thirteenth street,
New York, and resided with his family,
at No. ZIG Bloomfield street, Hohoken
He neglected his business and lived
with young woman named Eckert,
aud so scandalized his eldest children, a
young man aged twenty.one years, and
a daughter aged nineteen, that they
left the house and would not have any
thing more to do with him After his
arrest New York deputy sheriff served
some legal papers on him at Elizabeth.
and his property has been seized to
satisfy executions. This has left him
penniless, and the court assigned Mr..
7. D. Hodges as counsel because the
defendant had no money to hire legal
adviser. His daughter visited him in
Jail few days ago, and was very much
affected.
She stated to the officers that she had
no means of living, and was looking fol-
a position of teacher or governess, that
being the only kind OF employment 70,
which she was fitted. Her brothers
familiarity with his fathers business,
enabled him to take position as bar
keeper in Broadway establishment in
New York, and he is trying to support
the family, consisting of four younger
children, aged respectively sixteen,
twelve, eight, and three years. The
children are to be pitied, but there is
but little use in wasting any sympathy
on the prisoner. Mrs. Koewing, the
unfortunate lady who so narrowly es
capped death, is still here, and will be
dishgured for life.

SOME of the meanest people in town
are those who have made money here
and invest it all abroad. A large num-
Der who pirate great deal of what they
have done to promote the prosperity of
Elizabeth, rarely ever spend dollar
here if it can possibly bo avoided Some
of those chaps would rather bring o
number two mackerel from New York,
even at great Inconvenience, than buy

everything needed in ones household
can be had for less money on the oppo-
