morning he started to break the news to his
mother, and of course he has never turned
up since. Despair at finding her hope Of
marriage gone and herself penniless and
abandoned among strangers, brought on
heart troubles that made it necessary for
her to go to the City Hospital for treatment
OF course the majority Of the smart men
around town will insist that she was a very
willing victim to the wiles of heartless
lbertine, and it is possible that she
may have come here with the full
knowledge of what the end was
to be. But those who know
with what ease country girl can be be-
guiled by good looking man in a good
suit of clothes, may take the charitable
view that she was more sinned against
than SHINING. The fact that the hotel
people refused, by declining to identify
him on the register, to assist in his pursuit.
speaks nothing to their credit, while their
admission that half dozen men and their
'swiyes" put their names on the hotel
books that night rather gives awsy the
character Iof the guests who seek shelter
there.
The Newark papers of Thursday par
AIDED, with all the allurements of black
head lines. the story of woman who
went off on big spree with a hhackman,
on the head of 5000 she haS st re-
ceived. The story was ripe for publication
in March last but it lost Zone of
its value to the Newark newspapers by
reason of its age. Even with SIX months
behind them to have learned all the facts,
they seem to have missed the main feature
of it. They insist that the woman fell
into the hands of wicked hackman, who
piled her with drugged liquors for three
days lille he robbed her of the $40
ready cash she had in her pocket. But
their own versions show beyond dispute that
she was a characterless creature, who
found, in the sudden acquisition of a large
sum of money, an opportunity to crafty
her desire for rum, and who proceeded
forthwith to crafty it. Her request that the
goodman purchase glass of ''wine," as
the papers delicately call it, to brace her
up against ''fatigue," gives tone to the
rest of her escapade. She permitted the
hackman to put a colored man on the box
while he himself took a seat by her side,
and, for the three days she was registered
at the hotel as his s'wife,' thirstily gulped
all the rum he brought to her. One may
be pardoned for concluding that, so far
from being the beautiful and cultured
lady the romantic newspaper boys portray,
she was soiled dove who had suddenly
come into possession of fortune, and
who signalized her good luck with the
spree of strumpet.
Tuesday nights earthquake seems to
have expended all its local energy in one or
two points in this city. 1t evidently created
havoc in the Jersey City Office of our
esteemed contemporary, the World. Out
side of the terrible story the World pub
lished on Wednesday morning of the ruin
it wrought hereabouts, the paper itself
bore evidence of the disastrous effects of
the commotion. The Worlds readers of

ties in the Worlds geography, we know of
only one other point in the town that seems
to have been affected. "Big George" who
assists Jake Hammel in running the aristo-
cratic barber shop at Taylor's Hotel,
declares that the underground commissions
overturned an ink-stand upon letter he
had been preparing with great care. The
house stood firmly on its foundations the
crockery kept its place in the closets, and
the whole force of the tremor was directed
to the overturning OF 'sBig Georges" little
ink-stand. The letter must have been
very wicked one indeed to have driven

the people of the Hudson City section of
