An Unwilling Bridegroom.

HOhOken has u sensation, and with 1t
is revived some of the facts concerning
an atrocious murder. The wife of Theo-
dore Scherer, the keeper of hotel on
CHRISTOPHER Street near West, in this
city, was an important witness at the
trial of Martin KinkOwski, the murderer
of Nina Muller. Her husband, in whose
house the trunks were found, was too i'll
to attend. Scherer died shortly after the
conviction. His widow was the widow
of Mr.. Bein, to whom she was united
about three years ago, After her second
husbands demise she fell desperately in
love with Charles Parker, a handsome
young fellow, and a favorite in Hoboken
society. The widow is not yet thirty
five, and still possesses some beauty.
Parker apparently reciprOcated the af-
lection, and became a regular visitor at
her hotel. He finally persuaded her to
move to Hoboken that she might be
nearer to him, and she willingly dis
posed of her property, and, with snug
sum of money about S15, 000-engaged
rooms in fashionable boarding-house
on Park Avenue. She herself tells the
rest of the story. She says about March
/ she and Parker agreed to be married;
but he, according to her statement, was
not disposed to wed her until he was in
business and would in no wise be depend
ent upon her bounty. This pleased the
widow and she was willing to wait
Shortly after this Parker informed her
of a brilliant opportunity to make for
tune. 1t was the purchase of a glass
lettering establishment at No. AZ Cham
bers Street, this city. She was ready to
aid him in making the purchase, and adj
vanced him $1,000, but being a shrewd
woman she loaned the amount with the
understanding that he was to have the
business assigned to her. Several
smaller loans were obtained, raising her
lovers Indebtedness to 81, 700.
She tarried long and many dates were
assigned for the marriage, but when
they arrived he would give some plaus-
ible reason why the ceremony ought to
be still further delayed. She finally grew
impatient, as his visits become less fire.
quent. She made inquiry, and ascer-
tanning that he had not had the business
he purchased assigned to her she made
this the basis of an action to bring him
to terms. On Saturday last she applied
to Justice Rusch, of Hoboken, for q war
rant, alleging that Parker had obtained
money from her under false pretenses.
In court the widow was willing to with
draw the complaint if the alleged lover
would have the justice unite them in
marriage. This was the shortest way
out of the trouble and he accepted her

A Sailors Pen Picture.

Early this mornings little black dog,
unmuzzled, unregistered and conse
quently untaxed, entered the yard of a
gentleman who owns pair of handsome
cats, perfectly matched in size and color.
As the dog went trotting up to the
house with the confidence of a prize pup
or book agent, the cats arched their
backs preparatory to bearing down on
the canine intruder like an ironclad. The
dog was unmindful of danger until
he was struck amidship by a feline cy-
clone that caused him to tremble and
careen. and was only saved from upset
ting by anchoring himself under the lea
of an ash barrel. And even here he was
not safe. The cyclone clawed round
west by nor nor west, and struck the
bark in the bow (wow) spirit, making
things fairly howl. AS the bark righted
her nose came into the teeth of the cy-
clone, when it was fight dog, fight cat,
with an even chance for the canine. At
this point cat No. 2 came up like storm,
and flew at the anchor end of the dog,
which was wholly unprotected. Then
there was scene for a marine artist.
There was plenty of bark, but no ocean.
There were waves of cats and dogs and
pillows of foam as the storm tiends and
their victim circled round and round
that beautiful lawn in the gray light of
the early morn. And the storm only
subsidized when black streak was seen
to shoot out of the yard, and the two
friendly felines found themselves face to
face, with no foe between. That black
streak was a demoralized dog who may
have imagined that he had been in storm
where it rained cats. -N y Graphic.

Temperance Reading.
THE MODERATE DRINKER.

Twas but glass of lager beer
With a luncheon drank he then;
That one glass grew within year
To daily be some ten.
Then glass of wine he took.
When came some friend along;
Then the lager he forSoOk
To drinking brandy strong.
And thus a drunkard he became,
And so he lost his place;
This brought upon his family shame,
While blOated grew his face.
He tried, but never could reform
TO drink became slave.
Till to the church-yard he was borne,

1t is sometimes a costly amusement

1T is sometimes costly amusement
to tie firebrand to cats tail, as is
shown by a recent occurrence in England.
At Hythe two boys engaged in this
amusement. The cat took shelter in a
woode building containing straw aud
other inhammable material, and the re-
suit was fire, in which the shed and its
contents were destroyed, the owner
whose property was not insured, losing
about $500 thereby. ~ Y. Sun.

The Nxws has received information
tha. the Supreme Court Of this State
has flsd its decision in the matter oil the
Nevada Orphan Asylum. OF Virginia
City, VS.. j. F. Hallsck, State Controller.
and tha. the decision sustains the action
Of tho Controller in his refusal to pay
the claim Of the Orphan Asylum against
the State. The decision against the
Asylum is based on the fact that the law
passed BY nj last Legislature under
which the Asylum asked State aid is in
conflict with that provision OF our State
Constitution which forbids the use Of
public funds for sectarian purposes.
The decision Of the Court is eminent.

to be thankful that. Notwithstanding the
acts OF weak men in the Offices Of Gov

The Lighthouse Mystery.

Coroner Boliman said last evening that there were no new facts in connection with the finding of the body at Lighthouse Point, except that it seemed to be settled that it was not the body of the person who was engaged in the fight there on the Sunday previous. There are several
 opinions as to the identity of the body which
 was found, but none of them have thus far
 been traced to any authentic source. The
 brother of the sailor William Burns of the
 schooner William s. Mount, was unable to
 identify the dead mans clothing as those of
 his brother, neither did he recognize any of
 the articles found in the pockets. He was
 unable to see the remains as they had been
 inferred by the town authorities in the West vile cemetery. Another examination of the clothing and young Burns said he sure they never belonged to his brother.
 During Saturday evening Mir. Bollman received telegram from young Reimann of New York; who, with his companion, George Cornell, were capsized off the Lighthouse ( week ago last night, when Cornell was drowned. Reimann will be hero this morn ing to see if he can identify the clothing.
 Detective Reilly and the coroner have visited many places in this city and East Ha ven, examining witnesses and following | clews. The detective says the dead man was certainly not killed at the Point, whatever be ! came of him when on ship board. The jury o ! inquest will resume at p. m. to-day.

Third dConprerntionaI Church.

The text of Rev. Dr. Dennen at the after noon service at the Third Congregational church was the fifth verse of Johns gospel,
 ''The light shineth in darkness and the dark
 ness comprehended it not' As the suns
 light is transmitted, reflected, as received
 without effect, or is absorbed so Jesus
 Christ, the spiritual light and life of this
 dark world is rejected or received. Tho
 gospel salvation thus goes through the minds
 of some with no effect, is reflected in intel
 lectual coldness from others, and while to most it is as the suns light on tho hard rock or black charcoal, to & goodly number it comes with enightening, renovating power. Christ is formed in them, a glorious eternal life begins below. The effect of true con version to improve our nature and to make us lights in the world was earnestly dwelt ! upon by the speaker. To the light and life of Christ we owe all brightness, joy and use | fitness of our earthly state, and the all ami | mating, cheering hope and belief in the un ! ending life of happiness in heaven, He sait l the subject is most fitting one to begin ou1 l new season of religious work
