The Bay Bridge Made stronger.

Yesterday notices were sent to the train
men On the Jersey Central Railroad that
the extensive repairs to the long bridge
which spans Newark Bay, from Bergen
Point to Elizabethport, were completed
and that hereafter trains crossing the
structure could travel at an increased rate
of speed. Heretofore trains have been
slowed up as precaution against accident.
An officer of the railroad company says /:
"All of the decayed timber in the bridge
has been removed and replaced by sound
wood. The structure is now perfectly safe
even for the passage of the heaviest freight
trains. The bridge, which is about two
miles in length, was constructed fifteen
years ago, and when built was intended as
temporary structure to be replaced by a
more substantial one +; but the time passed
and the same old bridge is still in existence.
First and last, large amount of money
has been expended for repaiss."

The local Board of Education bill has be-

The local Board of Education bill has be-
come law. 1t vests the appointment of
members of the Board of Education in the
cities of the State in the hands of the
Mayor. To be effective in any city, how
ever. it must be accepted by the popular
vote of such city. 1t is time yet. we be-
lieve to rate the sense of the people of this
city on the question of making the change
here. It's acceptance would put an end to
the fortnightly bear garden that disgraces
the Boards meetings now in the High
School and tend to needed Improvement
in morals throughout the whole depart
ment; for, we regret to say, the bear gar
den display, disreputable as it is, is the
best phase of the School Boards rule. Be-
hind it all is nest of nastiness that ought
to be cleaned out as soon as possible. Men
have been known to seek election to the
Board just for the control it gives them over
the youngs ladies who teach in the school;
and some of the members have been known
to boast that not few of the ladies hold
their places and achieve their promotions
not wholly because of their skill and capac-
twas instructresses Scandalous stories of
debauchery reach the TATTLER's ears. Pub
lie morals as well as public interests suffer
where the business of the department is
run upon this degrading standard of favor
itism. but more direct evil is the affront
to which it subjects countless young women
of pure minds and pure morals whom nee
cssity or ambition has led to seek employ
ment in the public schools. Anything is
better than this terrible prostitution of high
public trusts to the lust of the scoundrels
that manage to elect themselves to the
School Board. The certainty that if Mayor
Collins is entrusted with the choice of a
new Board it will be Republican
is of no consequence as compar-
ed with the evils the new system would
wipe out. He would appoint gentlemen of
the highest character at least, and that is
the one thing needed in that department
just now Let the people accept the new
bill.

The Methodist church at Spring Valley,
to which Rev. Mr.. Bristor has been assign
ed by the Newark M. E. Conference, is to
be commiserated. But, if our Recollection
OF that particular church serves US, he will
not find bed of roses there. Some years ago,
the half starved shepherd of THAT flock
climbed into his pulpit one Sunday morn
ing-not to preach, but to say that because
of the neglect of his people to pay his sal
airy, he had not eaten anything for two days;
that he was starving, and that his wife was
too weak, for want of food, to make her
way to church with him, One kindly and
generous hearted old member invited him
to her house to appease his hunger with a
ssbowl of tea;p and the church was closed
for the rest of that Sunday at least. If
they could only starye this loathsome Bris-
tor to death, they would be rendering
service to the community for which it
would ever be grateful.

bequeathing his property to his wife during
her life time. After his death his brother
produced a will that left all his property 10
the brother. The second will bore later
date than thatin favor of the wife and was
said to have been drawn by the testator in
his Office IN New York. Samuel Dietz, the
brother, says that he left it IN his care to
be probated after death. Mrs. D;etz, at
the time the second will was alleged to have
been drawn, claimed that her husband was
sick at home, and that the document was
forgery concocted by a lawyer named
Franciol, in collision with Samuel. The
proofs were clear that Dietz was not at his
store on the day of the date of the will.
Besides that it is full of legal phrases and
technicalities and such a will as only law
yer could have drawn. But the strongest
case against its integrity is the singular
omission of the letter ssh" in the spelling
of the word eighteen in the testamentary
clause at the end of the will. Samuel, re-
CURED in court to write the testamentary
words, made the same fatal omission. 1t
was the opinion of experts that Francioli
drew the will, and that Samuel Dietz copied
and forged it. The finding of the court
practically convicts him of forgery. At any
rate enough doubt was raised as to the
genuineness of the second will to give Mrs
Dietz clear title to the fortune she helped
to make.

Three or four weeks ago the SUNDAY
TATTLER published little sketch of the
ssChild of the Prison" The New York
Herald copied it, even to the caption line,
and gave it to its readers, without credit to
the TATTLEB, of course-and it provoked
two or three editorials in that paper besides
long line of epistolary comments that ran
in its columns up to week ago. One
writer was in favor of taking the child that
had spent almost every day of its five years
in prison from the mother whom she had
followed into the cells. Other correspond.
ents protested against the separation as
something that neither child nor mother
if they were animated by the ordinary in
stincts that such relation implies would
desire. The sympathy these correspond
ents have expended on the little one is not
misplaced. She is bright child, and if she
were taken from the mother who is degrad-
ing her and surrounded by good influences,
she might become an ornament to society
But her lot is not worse than that of the
hundreds of other little children who are
being reared by parents who should never
be permitted to have them in charge.

The sincere and univ ersal expressions of
regret that follow Judge McDermott in his
retirement from the Board of Finance
must be exceedingly grateful to his pride.
It is marked tribute to his integrity and
public worth, and rather goes to prove that
Republics are not always ungrateful
when they have anything to be grateful for
Judge McDermott has been very valuable
public servant, and the people of Jersey
CITY have not been blind to his merits.
They wondered, when his appointment
to the Board was first announced, what a
young man as he was, without financial
training or experience could do in pos
ition of such great and peculiar and
delicate responsibility and trust. Notwith-
standing their misgivings, they saw him
with the aid and cooperation of his fellow
members of course-carry the city through
places of deadly financial peril, and put
her abreast OF the strongest of the cities in
the Commonwealth. her credit restored, her
treasury enriched, her public service clean
and reputable. The explanation of it
all is that Judge McDermott has mind
of grasp and compass that can adapt itself
to whatever task it has to accomplish, and
the breadth and readiness of his compre-
hension bring to him instinctively the wis
dom others acquire by experience
