OFFICIAL DIFFERENCES IN HOBOKEN.


The Mayor Of Hoboken, the Hon. f. V. S. BessOn,
and Recorder McDonOugb, of the same city, are
ouaITcliug over the serving of warrants issued by
the Recorder. The warrants issued by him have
been served heretofore by the members of the Police
Department Of the city. 1t is alleged by the Mayor
that Recorder McDonough has given the police off
GERS warrants issued for petty and trivial Offences
and made a charge for the service, and placed the
money in his own pocket. The Mayor maintains
that the Recorder has right thus to the police
men for his personal benefit At the meeting of the
Police Commissioners Monday night Mayor BesSOn
offered a series OF resolutions which directed that
hereafter no warrants should be served by the
policemen except on the order Of Chef Donovan
and AID EdmOndsOu, and then only when they are
for violations of the ordinances of the city. The
resolutions were adopted by unanimous vote of
the Boa.d. Recorder McDOnOugh is very indignant
at this action. hut said yesterday that I've would
await further developments. lie claims that he Is
not responsible to the Mayor or the Board OF Police
Commissioners, and that his action cannot be im-
pugncd by them. If the policemen refuse TO serve
his warrants he will have them served by cOnsta-

A SCORE OF PAUPER IMMIGRANTS.

A SCORE OF PAUPER IMMlGRANIS.
Additional ms tauces of foreign officials assisting
their pauper population to this country brought
to the attention Of the Commissioners Of Emigration
yesterday. On Friday last Mrs. Elizabeth Ann
Prout with five children, the eldest ten and the
youngest three years of age, and Mrs. Sarah Ann
Rogers with four children ranging from twelve to
six years of age arrived in this city in a destitute
condition. They were directed to Castle Garden,
and there told their story in simple and hesitating
way to Superintendent Jackson. These women,
whose husbands have been in this country the past
three years. say they received free passage tickets
from a Government agent at deacon Cottage,
England, for New-YOrk, and that they sailed from
IJverpo0l on the steamer Lake Winnipeg, of the
Beaver Line on August o, landing at Quebec ten
days afterwrd. They were forwarded from
Quebec to New-YOTk. Yesterday Alr. jackson sent
dispatch to the husband of Mrs. PrOut, IN Orange
County, Vermont, and received III return money
order to forward the family to him. The husband
OF Mrs. Rogers was also teeuaphrd TO &C Shan0-
KIN. Penn, but no reply was received. The former
family proceeded on its journey last night ana the
Rogers family provided with Iood and lodging
at Castle Garden.
Johann Van Schleusen with a sick wife, JOsina
Van Kcl and family, and Maria Mancl1cla were
also seeking charity at Castle Garden, being With
out food, money friends IN this city. They were
ON their way to ma Ike themselves homes III AIChl-
gan. They arrived in Philadelphia from Antwerp,
on the steamship Switzerland, on Monday last.
Tn city authorities, finding them destitute, fur
niShed them passage TO TINS city.
The Emigration Commissioners feel that If this
state of things continues the burden upon this
State will become SO great that there Will be
strong demand for relief through a National law
on immigration. This has been sought by the
Commissioners in years past, but now the people
does not need for its population paupers and crimi-
mails from other shores.

A SUCCESSFUL MERCHANT.

How course of strict integrity, we'll
directed energy, and restless enterprise,
leads to success in life, is fairly illustrat-
ed In the career of James Morgan, the
well known dealer in dry goods at $50
and 3SS East Water Street. Five years
ago, when he located here, he had but
eight persons in his employ and but few
orders from abroad, now he commands
the services of over one hundred en-
ployes and fills orders for Nebraska,
Washington Territory, Minnesota, Ran
sas, Missouri and Michigan, his shipping
department requiring the constant at
tendance of four clerks. His dress and
cloak manufacturing departments are
largely patronized, and he has added new
features of trade from time to time to
keep his large and prosperous establish
ment fairly abreast of the age. Mr.. Nor
gan, owing to his prompt and energetic
management, now ranks high in the bus
mess community, and his fine dry goods
house is pointed to with pride as an
example of a remarkable success in that
speciality of trade. -Senti3ei.

BURGLARY.

| On Monday night some bungling
burglars made an attempt to initiate their
pocket books by appropriating some Of
Mr. Esslinger's wealth. The burglary
is very peculiar one as in some respects
1 it showed the boldness of experienced
thieves while in others it gave proof of
craftsman not well up in his profession.
Mr.. Esslinger fancied he heard some
noise in the house but was in that semi
unconscious state between slumber and
waking and neglected to get up. After
one o'clock he got up to tend to the coal
stove SIS he had some plants which he
feared the cold might injure. He was
surprised to find the kitchen door open,
but thinking it might be the negligence
of the servant, retired to bed without
further examination OF the house. He
woke up about o'clock in the morning
and again found the kitchen door open,
and his pants were also missing. These
were found on the kitchen floor. He
found several drawers open and laid on
the floor, but the papers they contained
were not taken away. In one of these
drawers it was the custom Of Mr.. Ess-
lingler to keep considerable quantities of
money. Some cheap jewelry was also
taken and money in silver and nickels to
the amount of So. The keys had been
taken out of Mr.. Esslinger's pockets.
He Immediately started for the post
office but when he reached If, found that
that key was also missing, land on looking
into the Office discovered that the win
dow at the back of the Office was raised
and supported by an old shovel. On en-
tering the post Office he found tie key
which had been distracted from his
pocket lying on the window. This key
was taken under the impression that
1t was the safe key. The burg
lars had tried 10 force the back door
open by prying with an axe taken from
Martin and Willott's. Failing in this
they raised the window and broke open
the shutter. Il is evident that they first
visited the post office and finding they
could not open the safe which is an cid
one without a coordination" and IN
locked by an ordinary key. they went to
Mr.. Esslinger's residence to procure
| the key. Nothing was taken from the
post office but few nickels. The jew
elry was thrown away at the back Of the
| Office, the thieves thinking that its value
did not compensate for the danger of
! detection. A singular circumstance con-
| nected with the burglary is that Mr..
Esslinger keeps dog in the room and
he gave no alarm though ordinarily very
watchful. hIr. Esslinger is certain that
the burglar or burglars were in the room
| at the time he got up to fix the fire, and
that they concealed themself on the lounge
beneath the clothes which were piled
upon it. The next day the dog was very
| drowsy and appeared to be sick.

MEME.

The reaper death has been In our
midst again. Thistime he has chosen as
+ his victim James Welsh of Liberty.
Some twenty years of age, young, with
bright future before him, a host of friends
and every prospect of having long lease
of life, he died of heart disease last Mon
day morning.
The Temperance Society of Meme
held one of its monthly meetings on last
Sunday evening. 1t was the most noted
meeting ever held in Temperance Hall.
Father Butler. our well beloved pastor,
spoke for over an hour on the demon of
Inter perance to a crowded house. He
was followed by Messrs. Burke, Carey,
White, Brady and Hewitt, who spoke on
different topics. All did ample justice
to the themes discussed.
Our schools are in q furnishing coz
dition in this community, and Superin-
tendent Walker will find teachers work
ing with q will and m interest that is
well worthy of the vocation which they
follow.
The young men of this community
have been boasting for some time past,
concerning what their teams could draw.
But their Boosting was put to q test, last
week, when number of them assembled
at the brick yard at Mann's pier for the
purpose of hauling brick for the intended
residence OF Mr.. Enaes Smell. Each did
his best to carry of the honors of the
day. But all had to yield the well earned
honor to that noted horseman, James
Stewart of Liberty, whose team drew
the largest load that was ever taken out
of the yard.
Tax time is now at hand, and people are
as general thing, are very well satisfied
with the work of their public servants.
Through the efforts of John Cmey a sys-
tenn OF taxing money has been established
in the southern portion of the county
which has been the means Of taking a
burden off poor mems shoulders, and
placing it where it Justly belongs. l..
