THE TUNNEL SCHEME.

President Bonn Says That the Work
Would Cost About W 10O, 900.
President Bonn, of the North Hudson
County Railroad, told me yesterday that
he had had several interviews with the
officials of the Erie Railroad Company
about the improvement of Grove street.
The cause was the everlasting detention
of the horse cars at the crossing. Com
plants were of frequent occurrence.
Sometimes the delays Were so long that
Road Inspector Brooks had to appeal to
the police to compel the steam railroad
company to separate long trains Of freig light
cars that were standing on the crossing.
OF course the interference from outside
annoyed the Erie folks considerably, but
the public had rights and were entitled to
a clear road. When these complaints
were made the horse car company did not
forget that the Erie, with its mass of bus
mess, could not help blocking the streets
to a certain extent.
AS to the tunnel scheme, President
Bonn said that the best plan would be to
raise the Erie tracks a few feet, and thus
lessen tile depth to which the tunnel
would have to be carried. He thought
that 500. GEO would coyerthe expense, and
that the Erie should bear-and would
bear-the larger share of it. The incline
would have to begin about four hundred
and fifty yards on either side of the tun.
mel in order that the grade might not be
steep enough to require two horses for
the cars. He believes that the street can
be wideued, despite Mayor Cleveland's
opinion to the contrary.

rhe central Trades, AssembIy.

The Central Trades and Labor As
sembly at its meeting Thursday night
furnished a lesson in the possibilities
of harmony in such bodies. When
the provisions for the government OF
the organization were presented for
ratification not a dissenting voice was
heard. When the candidates for
offices were proposed they were at
once accepted. This was not the
harmony of apathy, for the interest
in these matters was great: it was the
unanimous concurrence in preparatory
action so well considered and so broad
in its view of the needs of the Assem-
bly, that all shades of opinion found a
representation in the result. No Or
ganization of workers eve had a
brighter prospect of usefulness than
that of the Central Trades and Labor
Assembly.

Undertakers Laugh, Too.

Undertaken J.W. Brasure, of Hudl

men with whiskers, and when he gets
in the chair he gives his usual sol
emnity a short vacation and jokes like
the rest of mankind. He told two
pretty good short stories about him
self yesterday morning as Prof. Wilxie
was winding his keen razor over the
left upper hand corner Of the under
takers right jaw.
"You see" he said, even under
takers will get sold. I was coming
down the street the other day when [
met an old friend. He looked so
solemn that l asked, What is the
matter, Ned?'

from I1oi1e OF elsewhere containing
appetite tempters to be received by
their fair charges. The young fellow
/ speak of evidently did not know Of
this rule, or else he had forgotten. AT
any rate he sent his lady-love u box
containing n variety of dainties,
cakes, pies and an assortment of con-
fectionery that would have tempted
the eyes of a connoisseur. OF course
the box was intercepted by the argus
eyed lady teachers, and good Miss
Mckeen seated herself to write the
young man a note, at the same time
informing the recipient of his favor
that the box must be returned.
But, alasl The dear old lady knew
not the wiles of those sweet girls, and
while She penned her curt letter in
forming the young man-very point
edly, We may believe-of the full en-
ormity of his Offence, the fair charges
extricated the contents of the box,
filled it UP with old shoes, and did it
UP again with a skill that avoided de-
lection, and, while the good lady
principal was peacefully snoring i'll her
bed that night, it is safe to assume
that they did full justice to the good
things so OPPORTUNITY secured to
them.
When the expressman brought the
box back to the young man it is safe
to say he was mad. He concluded,
however, that it would be a shame to
lose SO many good things, and ac-
cordingly %redirected it and sent it to a
kind, Older brother at college. Just
what the elder brothers feelings were,
when he opened it is one of the things
which a curious public has not yet
been able to discover.

Jersey Girls Raspberrying.
From the Ereui00 Sim

s+4-.. RGOW tue LCeItthJ Out
Wild raspberries are extraordinar-
lily plentiful in the woods and fields of
New Jersey this season, and along
both shores of the Passaic River in
Bergen and Essex counties, from Ar
lington to Avondale, they are es-
pecially large, we'll favored and nu-
nlerous. Parties of raspberry pickers
of both sexes wander daily beside the
hedge rows and under the trees in
search of the uncultivated fruit, that
has a piquancy OF flavor all its own,
and never found in the garden berry.
When a party of young girls are en-
countered with baskets in hands
wandering in the woodlands, the sue
cess ofs their excursion may be ap-
proxi1nately measured by the con
dition of their lips. If these show
nothing but natures coloring their
baskets are likely to be we'll filled; if
they bear only a reasonable share of
added carmine there is still a hope of
raspberry shortcake for supper in the
homes to which their owners are
going; but if they are deeply, darkly,
beautifully stained with The acidu-
tlous Juice of that wild fruit, it is a
sign u~nfaiIing that the raspberries
gathered have already refreshed the
picker and served to tighten her toll,
and the other members of her family.
if they hunger for Berries must go
and search for them.
These country damsels rarely over
exert themselves. They enjoy their
amateur occupation exceedingly, and,
in their light summer dresses and
broad brimmed straw hats, look
charmfngly fresh and cool, almost as
much SO, indeed, as the raspberfies
they are eating, or putting into their
baskets. The young men who some7
times accompany them generally seem
to be fresh, too, but they r seldom
cool, and only resemble the berries
they are gathering in facial color.
The pitiless rain which dellged the
country in the days preceding the
berry season and made the cultivated
strawberry for the most part a some
what dubious and watefy thing, dam
aged to some extent the garden rasp-
berry of later growth, but the infiu-
ences which unfavorably affected the
carefully nurtured fruit seem to have
given strength and vigor to the berries
that grow in the brushwood and
among the bIiers. The wild straw
berries that have jnstshad Their season
were magnificent in size and flavor,
and the natural raspberries are not
less so. They are, of course, only a
superior kind of blackberry, and, like
all fruit of natural growth, they are a
little too acid to be used freely with
out sugar, but, as the basis of the sue
eulent pie or shortcake costs nothing,
even the most thrifty housekeeper is
usually willing to supply the saccha-
rine matter necessary for the feast.

The far famed case of Henry G. Atwater
against the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Railroad Company came up in
Circuit Court this morning onc more.
This time it was on a demurrer, which
Judge Knapp refused to sustain.
EX-Mayor Collins appeared for the
plaintiff, and the company was repre-
sented by Counsellor MCGEE, of the firm
of Bedle, Muirheid & MCGEE. Atwater,
who resided in 1885 at Orange, one morn

day, which could then be punched.
The conductor refused to do this, but
took Mr., Atwater to New York without
further trouble. When Atwater applied
in March to have his communication ticket
renewed the clerk at the company's office

by the officers of the company. Mr.. At

Fined for Not Having 1t?

Had 1t Been Paid for When He Was
Fined for Not Having 1T? ,
Mr.. Alfred Cox, of No. 247 Washington
street, was among the saloonists arrested
in the early part of the week for selling
Mr.. Cox, whenlo on the stand, was asked If
he had any defense to make, and laboring
under the impression that his license had
not been procured in time, though with
no intention of violating the law, he re-
piled that he had nothing to say. The
neglect seems to have been the work of
his son. ,
Mr.. Cox was again in Court this morn
ing, having subsequently ascertained that
the license had been procured at the time
the oTense with which he was chargedwa
committed. He was more anxious he
said to have the reflections which the
arrest had cast upon him removed than
to have the $25 returned. Mr.. CoX's
license was granted on July 2. He had
drawn off a check, and left it in the hands
of his son, who did not procure the license
till July 8. But Mr.. Cox thinks he can
prove the license was paid for at the time
the drink was sold to the officer who
made the arrest.
He will be given a chance to prove this
Monday morning.
L dUlASA bOuIhSJ VIM ACCPo q octOOlt az
No. $40 Newark avenue, was arrested last
night by Policeman Kreutzberg, charged
with Selling without a license. When ar
raigned in the Second District Police
Court this morning it appeared that he
was laboring under a misapprehension as
to The time his license was to expire.
His license expired ON Jaly o, but he
was under the impression that it did not
expire until August 8, for the reason that
he paid his fee last year on August 9.
Owing to his mistake he was given time
to'Secure' a license.
Joseph Tschupp, a driver for Wenek, of
Union Hill, and John Linnenkohl, a
driver for F~eigenspan, the Newark
brewer, were bailed to appear Monday
morning for selling without licenses.
1t is expected that there will be fun at
the Court at that time. Lihnek6hl sent
for Justice Aldridge, who went his bail
for him, and at the same time gave him a
note to his employers explaining why he
was compelled to return home without
delivering his load.

D~exterous women Jugglers.

IRON the st. Louis PoSt-DtSpdlcH.
l saw two women jugglefs at Jey-
pore. They were bright, intelligent
looking girls, one of whom appeared
almost old enough to be the mother OF
the other. They did many wonderful
things, one of which was mixing up
sand in water and then putting the
hand into the discolored fluid they
brought handful of sand, which they
filtered through their fingers as dry
as before it went in. The youngest OF
these girls was perhaps fifteen. She
was tall, well formed and fine looking.
She had bracelets on arms and on
feet, and her eyes were as beautiful as
those of a gazelle. One of her tricks
was the lifting of q heavy chair by her
eyelids, the thought OF which almost
makes my eyes sore.
The chair was a heavy mahogany
one, which belonged to the room in
which | was staying. She tied two
strong strings to the top of this and
affixed the ends of these strings to
her eyes by little round metal cups,
each about the size of a nickel. These
fitted over the eyeballs and under the
lids, and she bent over while they
were SO fastened. Raising herself she
pulled up the chair with these strings,
with the muscles of her eyelids, and
carried it from one side OF the room
to the other. 1t was a horrible
sight, and as she took the metal cups
from her eyes they filled with water
and she almost sank to the floor. i
told her the trick was disgusting,
and that she ought never to try it
again. Still, for this and the rest of
the show these girls were well salts
fed with two rupees, or about seventy
cents. .

that you are mighty apt to spend all

However, there may be some mys-
terious consolation in what Maria said

Shes just alighted from a car;

Her gowns draped a la Directoire.
And see her hat, rose-wreathed, wide-brimmed
Her dotted veil, her brick-red gloves
Her jacket eXquisiteiy trimmed 4
Her tan-hued CATERS !-aren't they lovesl
Her parasol appears to be
In prism filtered sunshine dyed,
And, oh, its handle! goodness me!
Quite five feet long, and thick beside.
Oh! seesh her tripping down the street
Three daffodils beneath her chin;
Her face is rapturously sweet
She's not too stout; she's not too thin.
AMI her lover? No. I'm not.
Idare not Amarylls4 choose;
Alas, the man who casts his lot
With her will get more bills than COOS.
I'm poor. My income, I'm afraid
Would be too small for her, by far;

And not one a la Directoire.
