Joseph's Home, which has been in progress
for seven weeks past, is nearing a close.
and as consequence all the articles re-
naming on the different booths are being

She whispered it t, the Judge.

Yesterday afternoon pretty, sJylish'y
dressed young woman stepped into Juds Q
ALIENS office and told the Judge that she
wanted to have man arrested. The
Judge asked her the reason, and she re-
fused at first to tell, but afterwards CON
sented to whisper it to him. She said her
name was Ellen Breslin, aged 81 years,
and she lived on CommInipaw avenue.
Six months age she attended picnic in
company with young man named Robert
Wylie., During the afternoon she alleges
that Wylie coaxed her off to an isolated
spot in the vicinity and succeeded in ac-
complishing her ruin. Judge Allen issued
warrant last evening. Officer Hedman
arrested Wylie at his home, No. SO Allan
tic street. When taken before the Judge
he pleaded mot guilty, and was plsced
under $500 bonds to appear on Tuesday at
2 p. III. to answer to the charge.

AL1 IN FAVOR OF IT.
The Properly Owners North OF the Track
Hot for rIc Elevated Movement.

Ahe properly owners North OF the Track
Hot for rIlc Elevated Movement.
A gentleman who is presumably opposed
| to the proposed elevation of the Penusyl-
vania Railroad tracks called at the Office OF
the SUNDAY MORNING News yesterday
morning to say that all of the owners of
property lying north of the track were OBJ
nosed to 1t; that the proposed depression
OF Washington street three-and a-half feet
IN order to make clear of 10 feet under
the proposed archway, would be a serio1ls
| inconvenience to trucking; that the busi
ness firms north of the track had formed
or were about to form, league to defeat
the elevation scheme, and that Messrs.
Lorrillard d Co., Dodge & Meigs, and other
firms having business interests on that side
OF the track had subscribed 100000 or
more to defaat it. A SUNDAY MoRN1No
NEWS reporter met ex-MaYor Siedler. who
IS the manager of the Lorrillards' vast in
terests In this city, and a partner in the
trn, just after this. story had been told to
him, and questioned MIR. Siedler about it.
"lhere never was Iaore unfounded
story" the ex-Mayor said. 81 have not
talked with the Lorillards about il. bnt I
have no doubt that they would be warmly
IN favor OF the proposed scheme, as 1 au.
There are hundreds of thousands
of dollars' worth of property living
north of the track that need just such
an improvement to make it valuable.
The elevation of the tracks as proposed bv
the company will be money in pocket for
the owners of that property. The slight
change in the grade of the street counts
for nothing. 1t will make no appreciable
difference in the weight of loads. AS it is
now, some people refuse to do business
with the factory because of the danger of
crossing the network of tracks at Wash
ington street. Every time 1 cross the
tracks myself I take my life in my hand
and have several times narrowly escaped
being killed, though I am more cautious
than most people"
The ex mayor said that he had heard Of
no movement among the business men
north of the track to beat the proposed
elevation and he did not believe that such
combination could be made
Ames Co., r. A. Mcknight, and
several others whom the reporter inter
viewed expressed similar views

Closing ST. ParrlcIs,s Fair.

Last night was the closing night of the
fair of st. Patrick's Church at Bergen Hall.
The hall was literally crowded by the
friends of the church. and great interest
was taken in the closing contests. Miss
Winifred Ccyne held the lucky number
for the beautiful gold watch. The bed
room suite, presented by Messrs. Mullins
e Co., was won by Mr.. John Sweeney.
The priestly stole, which occupied the at
tention OF many and received S42 vo es at
III cents each, was awarded to Father
Sheehan, of st Fatrick's, he receiving SD
votes, while Father Boylan, of st. Michael's.
received 32S votes. The balance of the
articles were anctioned off and received
fair prices. The receipts have been very
good, and the fair is pronounced as having
been grand success.

the section of the city nearest to the river
at Washington street. The only sacrifice
the cit, is asked to make is at Greene
street. The plans of the Company, or
any other plan looking to the elevation Of
the tracks, makes the closing of that street
necessary. That is no sacrifice at all, on
the part of the city; for Greene street is
now and for years has been practically
closed by the maze of tracks that grid
iron it. No prudent man ventures to
cross there now, and the teamsters that
dare it take their lives in their own hands
every tiGe they do it. 1t would be a
good and wise thing to put the peril cut
of the reach of this fool-hardy few.
Greene street may as well be closed, by
law, as irrevocably as it is closed nov, by
occupation, to public use. The Board OF
Aldermen should lose 30 fine in accept
ing the proposition of the Company, and
the work on the proposed improvement
should be begun at once. We hope that
other railroads that travel into the city at
grade will be forced to follow the Penn
sylvania's example; and the day is not
very far distant, we believe, when every
railroad here Will have to reach its water
front on stills.

Spring, and in the Fall the whole brunt of
the campaign will fall upon the shoulders
of single county candidate sThe party
will have so little to lose, by the defeat of
all, that if they find the Committeeman
running things arrogantly and in defiance
of the party will. the voters will probably
take it into their heads to give the party
candidates a very wholesome laying out.
The Committeeman have occasion, there.
fore, to be careful how they behave They
Will not probably be permitted to force
Objectionable nominees on the party with
impunity, as they have been in times gone
by because of the magnitude of the in.
terests they had arrogantly assumed to
manage; and the less suspicion there is of
dictation and interference on their part,
the better it will be for themselves and the
party and Its candidates. 1t seems to US
that the time is ripe for vigorous move
ment among the Democrats of the county
for the organization of another organizing
and governing party power, that viii re-
fleet rather the sentiments of the wise and
able and public spirited men of the party
than the personal desire OF few greedy
ward politicians.

Now, while no important or vital party
interests are in their hands, is good time
to air the methods and agitate the aboli-
ton of the Democratic County Commit
tee. There are some good and reputable
men in the committee, but they are not
numerous enough or active enough to
serve to leaven the whole loaf-or lot of
loafers that make up a large part of its
membership. They are not the kind of
men who should be allowed to select the
candidates for the great body of intelli-
gent voters who make up the Democratic
party. They are men, for the most part
OF no repute-if they have any, it is bad
and they manipulate the machine with
such constituencies skill that the will of
the voters of the party, expressed at the
primaries, counts for just nothing at ALL
1t is useless for the party to go TO the polls
and declare its dissatisfaction with the
policy they want to enforce or with the
candidates they want to nominate. The
primaries are packed or the ballot-boxes
are stuffed to defeat the honest, decent
sentiment OF the party; and il by any mis-
carriage of plans the voters manage to
make their will known by their ballots,
the defeatei committeeman go to work
and overturn the election by process of
legcrdemain revision. 1t is time that this
examining of candidates and Of policies
down the threats of unwilling Democratic
voters should be stopped. And there are
cogent reasons Why halt should be called
at once. At the next Spring. and espe-
cially at the next allelection, 40 great OF
even appreciable interest of the party viii
be at stake. Only a lev Commissioners

1t was the design of the proprietors of
the SUNDAY MORNING News to have con-
tinued the publication in this issue of our
attractive Society articles; but the pres
sure of other matters upon our columns
makes this impossible. We have an ar
ticle, in print, and shall give it to our
readers next Sunday morning. We re-
gard it as the most interesting of our So
ciety articles, and when it appears we have
no doubt that IL will be pronounced so by
those interested in social matters in the
city. 1t is entirely out of the line of the
two society articles we have already pub
lished, and fuller of interesting society
gossip than either of them. Meanwhile,
our society readers will find in the notes
which are published on another page,
under the head of People We All Know"
a fund of information about society mat
tiers. These notes are furnished to US by
a gentleman who moves in the best circles
and who has abundant opportunities for
knowing everything that is going on in
them, and racy style of telling it. Hun
dreds of our readers regard his corner of
the paper as The most valuable and in
structive part of the sheet. While we are
talking on the subject We may be per-
mitted to add that the argument On the
injunction restraining US flom publishing
the name Of the lady whose portrait we
presented to our readers last Sunday
morning was adjourned last Wednesday,
to give the Court and the lawyers an OPP
portnnity to buy their Thanksgiving
turkey, and will not be heard till next
Wednesday. We are hopeful oG having
the injunction dissolved, and expect TO be
able to print the lady's name in these
columns next Sunday morning.

Fridays recount in Camden, by which
a Republican Assembly candidates ma
je@Ay of AZ Was overturned, and his Dem
ocralic competitor seated, is an indication
that it might be profitable to recount oil
the Camden districts Camden is nest
bed of INSCRIPTIONS Republicanism; and
the fact that over 30 votes that had been
cast for tie Democratic candidate, in the
recounted district, were counted by the
election officers for the Republican, serves
to indicate tue methods by which the
machine there resorted to to accomplish
its ends. The discovery lays the
straightuess of the original count in all
the Camden districts open to very just
suspicion. Was Armstrong reelected in
the same way?

The inside page critic of the Aagus
thinks that many of those referred to in
our articles on Jersey City society ladies
are not fitted to shine in society. He is
evidently chagrined that we have neglected
to mention his name in the list. He is
undoubtedly qualified by his accomplish
ments and brains to cut a large figure IN
social circles but so far be does not seem
to have made any very extraordinary sue
cess in getting into them.
