VAN GELDER'S FLIGHT.
NO LIGHT YET ON THE NOTIFIES THAT
PROMPTED HIM.

The Woman i'm the Case Probably
Known to some OF HIS Family.
The disappearance of Paying Teller John
A. Van Gelder Of the Union National Bank
of New York, from his home on Jones
street near Sipp avenue, on the Heights, still
lacks further explanation than that which
has been made in the daily prints. His
family attempt no longer to hide the fact
that there is woman il the case. A re-
porter of the TATTLER who called at the
bank in New York yesterday conversed
with the missing mans brother who is also
engaged in the bank. He said that he had
making diligent efforts to ascertain his
brothers whereabouts. But" he added,
II don't know anything more about it than
you do" He was silent when asked who
the woman was whose threat of exposure
he dropped left the impression on the re-
porter's mind that young Mr.. Van Gelder
knows who the woman is. At house of
Mr.. Van Gelder it was said last evening
that no tidings had been received from
him. The family would make all the quiet
effort they could to find him, the reporter
was assured, but no detectives had been
employed by them and none will be-
They had had consultation with the
the bank officers, and the bank Off
Gals had concluded that as there is
no deficiency in the money bag of which
the missing teller had charge. they
have no further interest in the efforts to
find him, and should leave things to take
their own course. They had arranged
things, however, SO that when he comes
back he can resume his desk. The place
will be kept open for him Altogether. the
indications are that his friends have got on
his track, that they know where he is, and
he would probably return home at once
but for the fear of being besieged by nos
ing reporters, who would insist on knowing
where he has been, and what took him
away. When the newspapers cease to look
for him, he will probably quietly return to
his home, his desk and his friends.
The certainty that there is no deficiency
in his accounts leaves the fear of exposure
as the only remaining explanation of his
fight A gentleman who is in position to
know all the facts, said to reporter day
or two ago, that Mr.. Van Colder had prob
ably been providing for woman who was
not his wife, and that the cutting off of the
supply had melted her to threaten him
with exposure. "And," this gentleman
added "ho hadn't the backbone to face the
music, and 50 he ran away. don't believe
that he is off on spree, but that he has just
gone to get out of the womans way He
is very staid and methodical, and you
always know where to find him at given
times"
He was given to dissipation of no kind
He Fixed an occasional game of pool, and
was accounted one of the best pool players
on the Hill. He was always prominent
member of the Heights Gun Club.

FIannagan Tries to XIII Himself.

When John Flannangan was taken from
Judge McGilrs Court on Friday morning
after being sentenced to Is mouths i'm
prisonment at Trenton for beating his
wife, he told the Court that he would
never be taken to Trenton alive. Five
minutes after he had been taken to Jail,
County Physician Converse, who was in
the jail at the time, was asked TO look otter
a wound the prisoner had made upon his
wrist with knife. It was not deep one,
and therefore not dangerous. Flanagan

HoBoKENs DEADLooKED COUNCIL.
Only -Four Couneilmen present at Yes
terday's Meeting.

The deadlock in the Hoboken Com
mon Council continues. The meeting yes
terday afternoon was adjourned subject to
the call of the Mayor, owing to the non-at-
tendance of quorum. The Councilmen
present at the meeting were Messrs.
Grassman, Fitzsimmons, Londrigan and
gin mill keeper Kenny. The other four
members Stanton, Mahony, Hartell and
Miller, failed to put in an appearance.
From all appearances the deadlock has
come to stay, and no little concern is felt
over the matter among the city employees,
particularly the police, as, so long as the
present state of things exist, or until the
Board organizes, no appropriations can
be made. Mayor Timken has taken
upon himself the responsibility of employ
ing men to remove the ashes and garbage
from the streets, being determined at any
rate to keep the health of the city up to
its normal condition.

THE DEGREES oE CALCITRATroN.- Our
esteemed contemporary, says the New
York Sun, with that enlightened Curl
osity, which is the mark of a very large
and expansive mind, asks us to explain
the peculiarities of bay steers kick. y
Is there anything that differentates the
kick of bay steer from that OF steer
of any other color, and if SO, what? In
celebration there are three degrees: To
kick, to kick like steer, to kick like a
bay steer. The positive degree Of calci.
tration is indefinitely and generally ex-
pressed by the first. A higher, more
forcible, and in every way more impress
i've variety Of celebration is expressed in
the descriptive simile, ''to kick like a
steer" For the steer is, or at least was
before the mule came into general cul-
ture, symbol of striking and impetuous
celebration. Any steer kicks refractori-
ly, but the bay steer kicks with hearth.
ness, an intensity of propulsion, put
ting of his whole soul into his hoofs, that
distinguishes him from non.bay steers.
If it be asked why the bay steer has gifts
above those of his fellows, the answer
must be that it is nature. Perhaps its
temperament is more choleric, perhaps
its temper is subtly influenced by its col.
oring matter. IT'S held that red-haired
persons are fercer,. more choleric and
more sudden in quarrel than the haxen'
haired, or the pink. haired, and perhaps
the bay steer is the victim or beneficiary
of its color.

THE HUMAN MANDATORY.

A recent number Of the Medical Journal
says ga man may eat and drink heart.
lily all day, and sit and lounge about and
do nothing. in one sense of the word; but
his body must keep hard at work all the
time or it will die. Suppose the stomach
refuses to work within ten minutes after
hearty dinner, and man would die Of
commissions in few hours; or cholera or
cramp collie would rack and wreck him.
Surprising the pores Of the skin-mean-
ing thereby the glandular apparatus with
which they are connected-should go on
strike, he would in an hour be burn
ing up with fever; oppression would
weigh upon the system and soon become
insupportable. Suppose the liver became
mulish. the appetite would be annihi-
lated, food would be loathed, torturing
pains would invade the small of the back
and the head would ache to bursting.
Suppose the kidneys shut up shop, danger
most imminent, sufferings unbearable and
death more certain, would be the speedy
and inevitable result. If the little work.
shops of the eye would close, in an hour
he could not shut nor open them without
physical force, and in another hour he
would be blind; or if those of the tongue
would close, it would become dry as a
bone and stiff as steel. To keep such a
complication of machinery in working
order for lifetime is miracle of wis
dom; but to work them by the pleasures
of eating and drinking is miracle OF
benefcence.
