WAS ESTEY KILLED BY PLAYMATEf
In jersey City il is doubted by some that George
Estey the schoolboy who died from fractured
skull was killed by Francisco Romanjana, the Ital-
ian musician. When Romanjania was taken from
Montreal to Jersey City he stated that he and an
other Italian musician had been stoned by some of
the schoolboys, and he threw a stone at some of
their tormentors. The stone he threw was the size
of a nut. he SAYS but the stone winch crushed the
boys skull was the size of goose-egg. Estey was
i'm the school-yard behind Romanjana. and the stone
which caused his death was thrown from the opDo-
site side of the street 1t was composed of tar and
pebbles which had been taken from the pavement IN
the school-yard It Is suggested that was thrown
by the schoolboys the other side OF the street at
the Italians aud that passed their heads and
the school-yard wall and struck the boy III the head.
A large meeting of the United ltalia Republican,
Society Yesterday at No. 1876 Bleecker-st. adopted
resolutions sympathizing with the family Of young
George Estey, who was killed in jersey CITY, and
also expressing the belief that the Italian musician
who i accused of the crime will be found innocent.
The prisoner is spoken of as man OF good charac-
ter and peaceful behavior. lawyer has been Sc

Josh Billings'S Advice to the "QuireH
Singer.

The 1st thing to make a good quire
singer is to giggle little. Put up your
hair in curl papers every Friday mite
soze to have it in good shape Sunday
morning. If your daddy is rich you
can buy some store hair; if he is very
rich buy some more and build it up high
upon your head; then git a high priced
bunnet that runs up very high, at the
high part of it, and git the milliner to
plant some high grown artafShels onto
the highest part of it. This will help
you to sing high, as sophrano is the
highest part.
When the tune is Civ out, don't pay
attention to it, and then giggle. Giggle
a good eel.
Whisper to the girl next you that EN-
Jones, which sets on the I'd sect from
the front on the left hand side, has her
bunnet with the same color exact she
had last year, and then put up your book
to your face and giggle.
Object to every tune unless there is a
solow into it for the sOphrano. Coff
and ham good eel before you begin to
sing.
When you sing solow shake the ar
tifchels off your bunnet, and when you
come to high tone brace yourself back
a little, twist your head to one side, and
open your mouth the widest on that
side, shet the eye on the same side jest
a triple, ard then put in for dear life.
When the preacher gets under he'd
wey with his preachin, write a note onto
the fourth part of your note book.
That's what the blank leaf was made for.
Git sum body to pass the note to sum
body else, and you watch them while
they read it, and then giggle.
If any body talks or laffs in the con-
gregation and the preacher takes notis
Of it, that's good chantz for you to
giggle, and you ought to giggle great
eel.
The preacher darsent say any thing
to you bekaus you are in the quire. Ii
you had a bow before you went into the
quire, civ him the mitCen-yOu ought to
have sum body better now.
Don't forget to giggle.
