4 FAMILY REUNION.
Two Centuries of Brinkerhons to Meet
and DIscass the Situation.


Two Centuries OF Brinkerhens TO Meet
and Discuss the Situation.
One of the best known and most popular
families of this section of the United States,
the Brinkerhoffs, are to have reunion in
Ridfeld Park, Bergen county, on the 9th
inst, to celebrate the second centennial
of their common ancestor, Hendrick
Jorisen Brinkerhof. Hendrick Jorisen
Brinkerhoff made his first purchase
of land in this State from Epke Jacobsen
Banta on the 18th June, 1855. and for IT'S
years the farm was conducted by his direct
descendants. Ehe original purchaser of
the property, with his father, landed in this
country in 1888 In 1877 Hendrick bought
up portion of the Heights known as
Bergen, where his descendants helped
make some of the laws which govern
our State to this day, and were directly
interested in the formation of the Bergen
Reformed Church, now SO ably conducted
by Rev. Mr.. Brett. The defendants of
this famous old Dutchman now include
many of the best known citizens of the
past generation, the Clendennings, Yre-
lande, Tuers aud other names being inter
nately mixed up with the original.
AQAdAaLA4s q O4ObnUA VI sAC AAok AACANAAShy
settled on Song Island, where many of his
descendants still live, and of which, by
marriage, Rev. T. De Witt Talmage is con-
nected. Beside the Long Island and Bergen
tracts, the brothers bought up almost the
entire portion of what is now Passaic City,
but afterwards disposed of that territory.
The Brinkeroffs brought over one sister,
Aaltje, who married William Won Cowen
Hoven, whose descendants also survive.
OF the Brinkerhoffs alive now, the best
known is our State Senator from this coun-
ty. Undertaken VIM. Speer is united by
marriage to one of the females. as Is George
3. Fielder. General Harry, of the Court
House, has cane brought over from Hol-
land by his ancestor of years ago, while
others possess similar relics of ancient
date.
It is believed that if all the descendants
of old Hendrick get together at the reunion
at least 5000 men rnd women will be
seated. The LADIES' of the Hackensack
branch have made ample arrangements for
the appetites of their relatives. and an
excellent day will doubtle be spent, while
many citizens will be astonished to learn
that they are related to other citizens with
whom they have heretofore been but slightly
acquainted.

The pink domino attache of the Herald,
commonly called the telegram, the other
day had column and half of interviews
with prominent politicians of Hudson
County as to the efforts that are making to
prevent Mr.. McAdoo's denomination this
fall. The Telegram may not know that
there are no Congressional elections this
fall-with credit to its general ignorance
but those alleged prominent politicians !"
of this county who are made to talk on the
subject should at once sue Mr.. Bennett for
damages. He should be made to pay well
for shifting such a display of bloated igno-
rance to their shoulders. In addition to
the fact that there are no Congressional
elections this year, it is well known to
every one who knows anything about poll
tics in this county that Mr. McAdoo is now
in his second term therefore no effort is
necessary to prevent his denomination.
When his present term expires, he simply
steps aside to make room for his successor.
in accordance with the customs of his
party. True, that rule was broken to put
Mr.. McAdoo in Office, but we don't believe
any one is anxious to extend the fracture
for sake Of keeping Mr.. McAdoo whore

Two San Franchise Children Lost hefr
ARRIVAL 81 the Jersey Central Depot.
A fne-looking, middle-aged man was
making anxious inquiry at the Central
Railroad depot, Communipaw, yesterday
morning, for his missing son and daughter.
Inquiry developed the fact that the gentle
man was Mr.. Manuel Eyre. a lawyer of San
Francisco. He arrived here yesterday TO
visit his two children and attend the annual
meeting of the American bar Association.
which takes place on the 10Th inst. at Sara
toga. His sister, Mrs. Capt. Mccoy, resides
to see his son Manuel, aged sixteen years,
and daughter Ellen, fifteen years old. It
was prearranged for the two children to 90
to Mamaroneck and meet their father. On
Friday morning Mrs. Mccoy received a
telegram from young Manuel stating that
he would arrive with his sister that after
noon at the Jersey City ferry by the Jersey
Central Railroad at o'clock. Miss Mckay,
friend of Mrs. Mccoy, went to meet them,
arriving at the depot on the Jersey side at
twenty minutes to o'clock. She saw
nothing of the young couple at the depot,
but learned that the train had arrived at
8. 20 o'clock instead Of O'Clock. She con-
cluded that they had gone to Mamaroneck.
The father arrived and took the o'clock
train for Mrs. McCoy's, at Mamaroneck,
expecting to find his children there. When
the train drew up at the depot, Mr.. Eyre
was told that his children were lost The
information came like thunderbolt to the
father. 1t was some time before he could
realize what had been told him.
Young Manuel is tall, has dark hair and
rudy complexion. He is very intelligent,
and has fine address for boy of his
years. Ellen is tall, not very stout, and
has black hair. She is pretty girl, and
has a face to be remembered if one seen.

DIsgracefui Scenes ON the Police Eek.
cursfon.

The TATTLER was not invited to attend
the police excursion possibly because of a
wholesome fear that we should not scruple
to tell the truth about it, but enough particu-
lars have been brought to this Office to
show that the affair was in no sense cred
table one to the Department. The respect
able men on the force who ventured on
the barges with their wives and daughters
regretted before the day was over that they
had not, at least, left their ladies at home.
They found it profitable to keep as much
as possible to themselves on one of the
two barges the steamer Black Bird drew;
but even then did not wholly escape the
disreputable women other members of the
force had the audacity to take with them.
Women of this class and their consorts had
almost complete possession of one of the
barges, and the bar saloons of the other.
Their behavior was anything but decent,
and bacchanalian brawls were the order of
the day. Frequently the police themselves
INDUCED in fights, and Officer Barry
actually had man who had offended him
half over the bulwarks of the barge, on his
way to his grave in the water when crowd
interfered. More conspicuous officials in
the Department engaged, too, in 6sticuffs
on the lower deck-one of them striking
out wildly because some one had called
him aDutchman; and another because some
one called the woman who was with him
by name that probably described her ac-
curately. 1t is about time these police ex-
cursions were abandoned.

The Newark Daily Advertiser, discussing
the causes of insanity, quotes the fact that
three persons killed themselves because OF
the election of Cleveland and Hendricks,
and then complacently observes that these
suicides should be ascribed to insanity.
The Advertiser is entirely right on that
point, but it seems to forget that that is
just the kind of insanity it, with the other
Blaine shouters throughout the country,
preached last Fall. The election of the
Democratic Presidential nominees would
these papers said, plunge the business Of
the country into ruin; and as the Demo
Gratis elected their candidates, these three
suicides, placing faith no doubt in the Ad-
Dertiser's forecast, saw nothing but starva-
ton ahead for themselves and their fam
lies, and in fits of depression took their
lives. The proof of their insanity is not in
the fact that the Victims were driven mad
by a prospect Of starvation, but in the sim
pie faith with which they believed in the
ADVERTISERS ridiculous prophecies.

Newark is having fight over sewer.
To connect one sewer with another it is me-
cessary that the city should acquire piece
of property owned by Christopher Nugent.
The owner does not deny the right of the
city to take his property for public pur-
poses it is designed, we believe, to open q
street over the sewer-but he denies the
right of the city to enter upon and occupy
the property, thus ejecting the owner, until
it has paid the money. This seems equity
and it should be law also. for any other
process would be to deprive Nugent
of either his property or his money for the
time being. Should the courts decide that
the city may take Nugent's property, and
pay for it whenever the city pleases, they
will at least be compelled to award the
owner interest on the condemnation
money from the time of the seizure of the
lands until payment is made.

Opposition Boats Meet i'm Combat ON
the KilI-von-KuI.
The war between the Winan's Staten
Island boat concern and the ferry to Staten
Island and Elizabethport, operated from
Pier IS North river, under the supervision
of Captain Stoney, grows lively as it grows
old Heretofore it has been carried on IN
the Courts. But last Thursday the Wi
mans people took new tack. The
steamer D. Il. Martin, of Captain Stoney's
line, started down the Bay with about 200
excursionists on board. When of Bergen
Point the Bay Queen, of the Wiman's feet,
turned about and went straight for the
Martin. The purpose seemed to be to cut
the Martin amid-ships, and it was success
fully accomplished. The Bay Queens nose
was driven with terrific force into the Mar
tins paddle wheel The whole side of the
Martin was ripped out, and over 81, 900
damage was done her. She has been laid
up for repairs, but will probably be put on
again this morning. Captain Stoney has
meantime chartered other boats to carry on
the business OF his line. The sail down
the Bay from Pier 18-which is at the foot
of CORTLAND street-to Elizabethport is
delightful one, and as cheap as it is de-
lightful. One can go overt he whole route
and back for mere song In the Fall
Captain Stoney proposes to add two new
steamers to his feet
