NHAT TROUBLES PAMRAPO.
The Disnsreeabie Odor that Drives the In
babitant. In Doors, and It's Cause.

For q week or ton days past an extremely
dsagroenblc odor has pervaded the atmosphere
at Pamrapo, N. J. The residents OF TINT plens-
ant village. many OF whom do business in New
York city. havo been compelled to close their
doors and windows to keep out the smell Much
INDIGNATION prevails among the people. and
many threats have been made against the par
tics who are tho cause OF the nuisance, which Is
occasioncd by the filling in Of the flats with gar-
bagc and street refuse from New York. Several
companies have been organized and heavy
capital is Interested in llng in the flats Of New
York bay along tho New Jersey shore. with a
view Of aifording wharvcs ana yards for various
railroad companies. by which II is hoped that sec
ton may become tho central coal depot OF the
United States Another object is to furnish sites
for factories with the advantage Of water front.
The parties engaged in the work are permitted
10 I'LL in Tor a distance Of 5000 feet from tho
shore, so that an opportunity is afforded for ac
land.
Tho first Of these projects. Familiarity known
Ms the long dock. was begun about three years
ago by the Morris and Cummings Dredging
company oi jersey CITY. This company began
and using as filing the mud and snnd which
they drcdged from n channel cut thirty feet
deep from the end Of their. pier TO deep water:
No cfluyia has ever arisen from this filling. and
nc. complaint has been made concerning 1t.
About year ago the Point Breeze Ferry. and
IMPROVEMENT company wis pTkNIllNeu, ana Ic-
gan the filling in front of the Currie estate. The
job was let to contractor. who has been using
garbage and street refuse from New York. Dur
ing the winter there has been no trouble but
now that the warmer weather is beginning, the
people OF Pamrnpo and vicinity are troubled
with sckening Odor whenever the wind blows
from the salt water; reporter for THE SuN
questioned one Of the Curric brothers. That
gentleman admitted the charges concerningt the
odors. but said that in the hot weather II was
proposed TO dump the garbage so far from the
shore that would never be left bare at low tide
md so no odor could arise from II. He added
that no person could be u greater sufferer from
the evil than himself. rs he is in Pamrapo every
day and is the largest holder of real estate in
the place. He has. he says. been mAdSto suffer
exceedingly from untruthful reports in the mat
ter. Eighteen months ago, before the work was
begun. his family went to Europe TO be gone for
three years. IL is now currently avcrred that
they went away to escape suffering from the
nuisance.
Concerning tho ultimate benefit which will nc
crue TO Pamrapo on the completlen OF the work
there appears TO be no doubt. Manufacturers
are already bespeaking sites for factories ON
the excellent water fronts that will be afforded

A Mules Performance.

At one of the theaters in q town Of
Nevada, the play of the Forty Thieves"
was lately presented, but in rather a
meager manner, as may be inferred from
the lack of abundant scenery and prop
critics in the far West. When Ali Bahia
had seen the thieves enter and quit the
cave, he went to the wings and brought
in a mule, which, having taken grave
offense at something, awaited his oppor-
tunity for revenge. No sooner had Ali
come out of the cave with his bags of
wealth, and attempted to put them on
the back of the beast than he began his
part of the performance. He let fly with
his heels; kicked the ~shavings (the sup
posed riches) out of the bags; kicked
down the cavern; kicked down q whole
forest; kicked down the wings; kicked
the end of the base viol, leaning against
the stage, to- pieces; smashed the foot.
lights; and finally doubled up Ali by
planting both feet in the pit OF his
stomach. The mule fairly cleared the
stage and set the audience into a great
roar, the miners laying wagers that he
could out-kick any mule in the State.
The quadruped continued kicking as if
he were hung on a pivot, until q rope
was fastened around him and. he was
dragged of by the united strength of
the company. The Nevadans want to
give the mule . benefit.

Origin of Some Familiar Names.

It is not often that We know, or re-
member, if we do know, the origin OF
names with which we are most familiar.
Their significance is frequently lost by
altered circumstances or by want OF in
formation on our part. 1t is not gener-
ally known that the Hudson was called
North River in contradiction to the South
River, as tho Delaware was formerly
styled. Massachusetts was 80 dubbed
because in the aboriginal tongue it meant
"about the great hills" I. e., the Blue
Hills. Boston, named after the English
city, was originally st. Bardolph's Town,
OF which Boston is an abbreviated cor
ruption. Albany was so christened in
honor of the Duke of York and Albany,
(afterward James H. at the time it came
into possession of the English, (1664).
Catskill is Dutch for panther or lynx,
which once infested those mountains.
Cattaraugus was 80 designated by the
Indians because they had, for some mys-
terious reason, associatedit with unpleas-
ant odors. It means ill-smelling shore.
This is not quite 30 bad as Chicago, an
Indian word, signifying a foumart, which,
Judging from the complaints in Chicago
papers of the city's peculiar fragrance,
would seem to have been properly named.
Chemung means big horn, from a fossil
tusk found in the river. Grown Point
is said to have been so-called because
scalping parties were sent thence by the
French and Indians. Erie signiied wild
cat, and was borne by q fierce tribe of
savages exterminated by the Iroquois.
Manhattan is eminently fitted for the
Metropolis, it's import being town on the
island. Mohawk was applied by the
New England tribes to the Iroquois,
from their habit of eating live food.
Niagara means neck of water; Oneida,
people of the beacon stone; Onondaga,
place of the hills; Saratoga, place of the
miraculous waters in a rock; Ontario, a
village on a morntain-the chief seat of
the Onondagas; Schenectady, river val
ley beyond the pine trees; Seneca (not
classic, as many have supposed), is a
corrupt Indian pronunciation of the
Dutch word cinnabar-vermillion. Jer-
sey is a corruption of Cesarea, the old
Latin name of the largest of the Channel
islands. Passaic signifies valley, aud
Atlantic come from the Greek, Atlanti-
kos pelagos, the sea beyond Mount
Atlas.

One Of the Seven Wonders.

Pharos is the ancient name of a small
island off the coast OF Egypt, less than
a mile from the ancient Alexandria, con-
nected with the mainland by a mole,
and famous for its lighthouse which
was numbered among the ave wonders
of the world, and gave the name OF
Pharos to all structures Of a similar
kind. This building was the frustum
of a square pyramid, surrounded by q
large base, the precise diminsions of
which are not known. 1t was COM
menced by the first Ptolemy, and wa
finished about $50 B. G. The style and
workmanship are represented to have
been superb, and tue material was a
white stone. The height was about 400
feet, and it is stated by Josephus that
the light, which vas always kept burn
ing on it's top at night, was visible
about forty-one miles. It was probably
destroyed by an earthquake, but the
date of its destruction is not known.
Enough is known, however, to make it
certain that this tower existed for 1000
years. To this day the French word
for lighthouse is phare, and the italian
and Spanish faro. The island became
at length q suburb of Alexandria by
means Of a street running along the
mole, and retained some importance
even till the time of Julius Caesar, but
subsequently sank into its original con
dition of a fishing station.

Fashion Notes.

The small round turban is again worn
by young ladies.
Lace bonnets for young ladies are
made of silk covered with lace, almost
like babies caps.
New bonnets are seen in l~ilsc-colored
straw, and are trimmed with punches Of
white and purple lilacs.
Large buckles Of pearl, like those
worm generations ago, are fashionable
for the wide belts SO popular.
Pins for the hair are ornamental balls.
Some are of red gold and others are of
the palest yellow Roman gold.
New silver earrings are in the shape
of a sailors hat. with q pair of oars con
nected by a slender silver cable.
Collars and cuffs on thin dresses are
made of shirring, and Jokes and vests
are sometimes similarly composed.
Small white handkerchiefs, with the
edges scolloped and wrought with a
color, are formed into pretty pleated
bows for the throat, to wear with morn.
ing dresses.
The Breton dress vas 80 becoming
and pretty that the ladies are 10th to
give it up, and since fashion has decreed
it may no longer DO worn, the style is
used in underwear.
New linen-lawn and muslin dresses
are made with yoke waist, the yoke en-
t1rely covered with rows of narrow lace
laid on fiat. The ruf1es that trim the
skirt are edged with the same lace.

4 Horrible Tragedy.

A horrible tragedy, by which six per-
sons lost their lives and suffered the
most excruciating torture, recently oc.
Cured at Scharbeck, near Brussels. IL
appears that suon after midnight the IN,
habitants at the top of Josephat street
were awakened by o tremendous noise
like the firing of annon Immediately
flames were seen issuing from a house
inhabited by a druggist and his vile
named Molke-p Denis. While the police
and the excited populace were endeaVor-
ing to put out the flames and to remove
the inhammable materials, another re-
port. louder than the first, was heard,
and six persons who lived in the interior
of the house rushed into the street utter
mo fearful cries. They were enveloped
in flames, and resembled living torches
more than human beings. They were
Immediately attended to by those on the
snot. who rolled them in blankets and
managed at last to put out the fire. One
man. named Moreau, OF herculean
strength. who like the rest rushed out
of the house n mass of fire, suddenly
seized hold OF his left hand, which was
causing him intense agony, and pulled
it right off. This nan was a stone
cutter, and previous to losing his hand
he had thrown himself against the front
of the house with such violence that he
thrown backward and his head al
most smashed. The wife of Molke was
being assisted ont of the window when
she lost her presence of mind, and fell
to the ground, breaking her leg in the
fall. That catastrophe was made Still!
more serious by the efforts of a party OF
relief, who rushed into the house at the
risk of their own lives to save an old
woman who was uttering the most fran
tic cries. They unluckily happened to
upset on enormous jar of petroleum, and
were instantly enveloped in flames. The
names of those who succumbed are Emil
Molke, seventy-fve years of age, drug
pist. and master of the house; Govaats,
aged thirty-fve years, father Of four
children; Moreau, forty, father Of two
children; Auguste Verhoeven, seventeen
a old, druggists apprentice. Two
Others we're fatally burned. All suffer-
ed the most excrnciating fortunes, as
when the flames were put out they were
only one living sore.
