THE SOUP KITCHENS.

Yesterday being very bleak, dismal and chilly
there was much larger demand for soup than on
tine two previous Sundays at the various Kitchens.
Cold or chilly weather, particularly ike that ex-
perienced yesterday, which penetrates 10 the bone
and marrow, makes a quart Of good hot soup
very acceptable dish to the hungry stomach and
cold body.
Yesterday morning little girl, very thinly clad
and looking very weak and sickly, her lips blue
with the cold and with only one stocking visible
above her sogged Shoes applied for soup at the
Eleventh precinct soup Kitchen Captain Muir
phy'sl, In Second street. and stated that her
mother, q German, who resided with two younger
children than the applicant was very SICK ana tue
children also, and that none OF the family, SICK as
they were, had mad anything to eat since FRIDAY
night. The mother is q widow woman, ana they
have had no fire in five days. and consequently
have had to lie IN bed to keep themselves warm:
The little girl got four quarts OF hot soup ana
went to her desOlate home in Fourth street re-
j0lcing Tor the time being.
The applicants Tor soup discredt any assertion
that there as yet any resumption OF work to any
considerable extent and the soup Is dou6ly crate.
lul to those who have large families and cannot
obtain bread or fire Tor the little ones. over
H. 500 persons yesterday applied for and received
soup, and OF this number 5000 were furnished
with bread. Should a cold spell succeed to the
last five or six days OF changeable weather 1t Is
very certain that the demand for soup Will be
greater than 1t has yet been; but the poor will be
guaranteed for some time yet from all danger or
STARVATION by The soup Kitchens.

IMPORTANT NEWARK MUNICIPAL MATTERS,

For full half dozen years q number OF Alder
men OF Newark have driven nice trade with the
city in clear and specific violation OF the municipal
and State laws, which provide that no member of
council other city officer shall be- directly or in
directly, interested In any contract supplies or
materials furnished to the city. Sixteen years ago.
when the first City Auditor, Judge Hewson, was
In office, this matter arose as q question
He refused to audit the bills, and opinions from
Chancellor Runyon and Governor vroden sustained
him. Auditor Dawes, during MS six years incum-
bency Of the offices, has ignored the law and con-
tinualy countersigned the bills drawn in favor OF
aldermen. me matter was brought to Mayor
Perry's attention. He vetoed the next batch OF
bills and has been sustained by fresh opinion OF
the city council. There is much dissatisfaction in
adermanic circles with the law and strong incli-
nation to abuse those who have brought ABOUT this
reform.

various divisions OF New York, Brooklyn, Jersey
city and Hoboken held special meeting yester.
day afternoon at the Fourteenth Ward Hotel, cor
ner OF Grand and Elizabeth streets. The purpose
OF the meeting was to consider the expedency Of
forming new organizations In Brooklyn, Williams

increasing membership of the societies already
formed demands this action, as the meeting rooms
the members who wish to attend, and IL is thought
also that wider distribution OF the branches will
have the effect to strengthen the organization,
which in this and adjacent cities has 5000 men,
bers. committee was appointed TO take the
matter In hand, and the meeting then adjourned.
