The Sunday tatler and Jersey City express. (Jersey City, N.J.) 1883-1886, 1885-09-27
We hear complaints in all parts Of the

have repeatedly said that the safest and
surest way 70 get the TATrLER is to order
your news dealer to deliver II at your house.

rule, do not order the paper as literally as
they should, and at most stands it is i'm
possible to purchases copy of 1t after nine
O'Clock Sunday morning. This. however,
is draw back that will right itself in time.
The growing popularity of the SUNDAY
TATTLER is creating such demand for
it that the news dealers will find it wise to
have surplus supply on hand. There
are hundreds of readers of the TATTLER
who would rather sacrifice all the other
Sunday morning newspapers than be with
out it, and we know of several instances
where the whole weeks patronage of Sum-
DAY TATTLER readers has been taken from
the news dealers who failed to deliver the
TATTLER at their houses for single Sun
day morning. AS the Hon. John W.
Heck beautifully and classically observes:
ITO keep abreast of the times, it is neces-
sary to read the SUNDAY TATrLER."
The conscienceless scribbler, who figures
as the local Annanias OF the World, took
the information published in the SUNDAY
latter two weeks ago concerning the
Odd Fellows election. and mangled all
the facts out of it. The lying story he
managed TO evolve from the TATTLER's
article has been published in many of the
State papers. If the World romancer had
copied the story as we gave it out he would
have had the matter perfectly straight;
but when he attempted to elaborate it from
the stores of his own ignorance, he got it
about as crooked as he usually gets things
He went on to tell Of the " desperate
efforts" to defeat Councilman Grassman,
Of Roboken, and gently observed that his
term of office as Grand Master will expire
this month. This would be all true but
for the fact that there is no "desper-
ate effort on hand to beat Grassman; and
the other fact that Grassman is not the
Grand Master; and the third fact that
neither his term nor that of any other
Grand Master expires this month. If the
Worlds general news is as reliable as its
Jersey "news." ii must be magnifcently
reliable sheet to patronizel
The roller skating rink ordinance which
is under discussion in the Hoboken Coun-
Gil needs amendment. 1t is not particular
and definite enough. 1t should provide
that the rink, when it is opened in the
morning, shall be unlocked with key;
that any fifteen year-old boy who DISCUSSES
himself in a false beard and swears he is
thirty to get into the rink at night shall be
summarily hanged; and that at the close
OF the rink at eleven o'clock at night, it
shall be the exclusive duty and privilege
of the members OF the Council to escort all
the good-looking ladies safely to their
homes. s.a
g The Salem Sunbeam believes there will
be an alliance between Hon. George A.
Halsey and Hon. William Walter Phelps
against the reelection of Senator Sewell.
II remarks this as little out of the order
of things, because the Hon. George A.
Halsey inclines to the Robson side of the
Republican household, while Sewen and
Phelps were ardent Blaine men. The
TATTLER begs TO correct the Sunbeam. 1t
is doubtful il Mr.. Blaine has ever had
warmer supporter in New Jersey, outside
of Mr.. Phelps, than Mr.. Halsey, while il
is notorious that Senator Sewell yielded to
Blaine only because the sentiment of the
Republican State Convention was for his
nomination for the Presidency.
The devil seemed to have a holiday last
Saturday night, while the dominies were
dreaming over their Sunday morn
ing sermons. Violence ran riot
through the city. Besides the death of
Mrs. Crowley. at Greenville, and the stab
bing of Sexton ia front of Myers's saloon
on the brow of the Hill, there was an
almost fatal ARRAY up in the North part of
the city in which some local politicians
were engaged. The netresuIt of the nights
work was two deaths, and Coroner Hughes
congratulated himself upon the boom with
which the Fall trade in inquests opened.
The local features of the daily afternoon
papers of Monday last were the possible
elopement of Father Butler with Miss
Mary Ellen Brady--which, for the credit
Of the church with which Father Butler
was in fellowship, we hoped was not true;
the death at Greenville of Mrs. Crowley,
from violence; the collision between the
Aurania and the Republic, and the killing
of Thomas Sexton by Flood. The readers
of the. SUNDAY TATTLER did not have to
wait till Monday for the details of these
matters They were all furnished 10 these
columns last Sunday morning.
We do not wish to PREJUDICE Flood, who
is charged with the murder Of Thomas
Sexton on the Hill last Sunday morning.
but Flood seems to have diagnosed his
case pretty clearly himself. II Sections
story of the assault that ended his life be
true, it was cold-blooded murder, with
all the elements that go to make capital
case against the prisoner. Flood is quoted
as having said that he expects TO swing
for it, and it is possible that the jury that
is to try him will help him to realize his
expectation.
