rhe ). c. & Bergen ExteasIon.

About. q fortnight since the Jersey City
and Bergen Railroad Company commenced
the construction of its Bayonne extension
west of the Merris Canal. Last Tuesday,
however, the work was ordered stopped
for some apparently unexplained reason.
President Thurston, in conversation with Q
TATTLER representative, stated that she
reason why the work stopped was in order
to have il decided what grade the company
shall conform to. At the time the work
was commenced, as the company asked in
its proposals, that the grade should be
fixed, it vas understood that the grade
of the street was about right. Now, after
the comnany has done considerable work,
BIT il notified that the top of their tracks, as
they are now preparing to lay them, will
be nine inches below the grade of the
street. The matter will no doubt be ar
ranged this week, and the work progressed
as rapidly at possible.

:. Hank,, van Horn. Big RIae.

ALI Of sudden ex-County Clerk Van
Horn and Louis Smith made up their
maids two weeks ago to day that they
would go out for ride. So Louis little
mare was brought out from the stable and
hitched to buggy, and early on Monday
morning they started. They went way up
north until they had passed Mendam and
Chester, and at o'clock in the evening
they were in Hackettstown There they
stopped for the night. Tuesday they
drove through the seminary grounds where
Tillis smith was murdered, and passed on
through Allamuchy, Newton, Branchyille,
over across the Blue Ridge range to Mil
ford and Port Jervis. That was their OBJ
jective point, and there they spent Tues
day night with Mr.. Van Horns daughter.
Mrs. Charles Il. Terbell. Wednesday they
were storm-stayed, but early Thursd ay
morning they started homeward It was
10 o'clock before they left Port Jervis; but
they were soon in the Allegheny Mountains
and on their way to Goshen. There they
spent Thursday night. Friday they drove
down through Turner'S, past the famous
Tuxedo Park, into Sufferns, and along
through Paterson to this city and home.
They intended to be gone full week, and
they probably wouldn't have made as good
time as they did if the weather had been
pleasanter than it was. They reached
home Friday evering in excellent condi-
ton and not much the verse for wear.

The Press Cluh,. Latest.

The New Jersey Press Club is composed
of as genial body of men as can be found
in the State, and probably its most genial
and popular member is the one great and
good Court interpreter-Mr. Albert Hoff-

held at the residence of this genial gentle
man, No. 1854 Washington street, Hoboken,
last Wednesday evening, he having re-
quested the Secretary of the Club to call a

Utz was present, and on motion he was
made an honorary member Of the Club for
the occasion. A resolution was passed
requesting the Entertainment Committee
to arrange for benefit at the Academy

while one member after another recited
some of his most important peculiar reporto-
rial experiences. It was midnight before

How HoMs RuLE, Made 500.
The stationary Engineer Association
Broke Up About the X. of L.


Some time ago the TATrLER told the
story of the organization of stationary en-
gineers located in this city. 1t had then,
as we remember, about sixty members, and
ten days ago had $500 in the treasury.
For some time past the members have been
excited over the proposition to turn the as
ISOLATION into Knights of Labor organiza-
ton. This met with determined opposi-
ton, but the feeling aroused by the discus
sion made it plain that the organization
would go to pieces. A week ago the
members met, and to prevent their Treas
ury surplus from being taken by the
Knights, voted 800 to the support of
Gladstone's Home Rule canvass, 500 to
st. Francis Hospital and $75 to send a
representative to the New Orleans National
Assemblage. Thirteen OF the members
withdrew and organized themselves into
Knight of Labor organization under the
name of the Eccentric Engineers Associa-
tion. New, but five members of the origi-
nal association remain. These are enough,
however, to hold its charter. The associa-
ton paid $75 on the death of members and
So per week benefit to sick or disabled
members. William Crowley was the Presi-
dent.

the Herald, who was to have put in $4,000,
found that it would be a bad investment,
hopes, in spite of his Dragging, Of getting
enough together from any other source to
make the coveted purchase. Clarke's idea
is, if he ever secures possession of the
paper, to put ssAleck" Mclean in as city
editor. Mclean is one of the rankest
Republicans in the county, and Democratic
politicians invited to subscribe are unwil-
ling to trust their money to Democratic
paper that he is to run. Besides, he is the
man who ran the Jersey City Times into
the ground some years ago.

The recent poisoning of two hundred
and fourteen people at Pennington by ice
cream led to the belief that arsenic had in
some way been mixed with the cream.
One of the physicians in charge of the
case says he believes sit was the work of
some devilish mischief-maker." This is as
good as sArtemas Wards" exclamation
when one of his audience died from ex-
cessive laughter at his best joke. "Why,"
said he, ~ never was SO mortified in my
life" But it is now pretty well ascertained
that the disaster was due to carelessness.
It is well known that milk is made poison
ous by decomposition under certain condi-
tions. Frequent instances have been known
where cheese has been made poisonous in
this way, and chemist who analysed the
cream used at Pennington found it to re-
senble poisoned cheese which he had pre-
viously examined, while the symptoms of
those who had eaten it were the same as is
usually produced by the cheese. Unclsan
vessels and improper care of the milk is
the prime cause of the decomposition nee
essary to produce this poison.

Fireman Costigan, of No. Truck, has
made good claim to the medal offered for
bravery. His rescue of the Francis family
on Thursday morning was courageous
piece of work and should entitle him to
recognition in any event. But we do NOT
believe it will be excelled during the year,
not because there axe not other men equally
brave in the department., but they are not
likely to find opportunities for displaying
their courage.

The Newark Sunday Call philosophises
on the sentence to years imprisonment
Of hangman Van Hise for swindling Essex
County out of 81 by means of a false oath,
without kany regard reason. It excuses
the Court for the severity of the penalty
imposed with the remark that the law takes
into account only the moral turpitude of
an act, and not the amount the guilty man
might have realized from it. The Odu
seems to forget that the net gain of an
offence frequently determines in law the
degree of wickedness involved in it. If q
fellow steals $50 he may be sent to the
State Prison for ten or fifteen years. If he
steals only S. the Court is forced by statute
to impose a light penalty. The distinction
between big robbery and small one
commends itself to good sense; but it ia
really just as wicked in the moral aspect.
to steal cent as to steal hundred
thousand, the method of course being the
same. II the Cal had said that attention
should not be paid to the amount, 1t would
have raised question in ethics, bat when
it says that the law can't make the distinc-
ton, it makes paradox. The law is doing
it all the time
