SENATOR EDWARDS DROPPED IN.

He Was just in Time to Explain q Point
I to the Lafayette Citizens.
The members of the Lafayette Citi-
zens' Association met at the Wigwam
last evening. Mr.. Sherwood reported
that the defects in the new school
house, now being erected on Halliday
| street, had been corrected and that
Architect Sieler had notified the con-
tractor to continue the work. For
| some time past the outlet of the
| sewer at Oyster Creek has been choked
up by the refuse dumped there by the
| National Docks Railroad. At Mr.. Geo.
| Killers request Chief Engineer Rug
| giles, of the Board of Works, issued an
order putting a stop to the nuisance.
The streets have been also cleaned of
the coal dust with which the carts of
the zinc works have plentifully
loaded them.
The main object for which the men,
bers are striving at present is the paw
ing and general improvement of Pacific
avenue. Though the small property
owners are united in their desire to
improve the street, without the sigma
lures of the Boynton Furnace Com
pany, of Messrs. Stevens 81 Edwards,
| and Mr.. Jacob Van Horn, who are the
largest property owners on the avenue,
their efforts will be nugatory. Mr..
Edwards is reported to have fatty re-
fused to sign the application, but it is
thought that he will reconsider his
declination. The other gentlemen are
wavering, but there is every eason to
believe that they too will sign.
Upon the paving of Pacific venue
hinges in a great measure the improve
ment of the other streets adjoining, as
the majority of the property owners on
them have signed the petition, only on
the positive condition that the work
should be commenced on Pacific ave-
nue.. The petitions for the Van Horne
and Halliday street improvement have
already been signed by a majority of
the property owners, and Pine street
and Suydam avenue will not be long
behind.
The sewer cleaning, Mr.. Henry Stef-
fins reported. was progressing rapidly
and satisfactorily. A great deal of
| the failure of Mr.. Stirling, manager of
the National Dock Railroad, to sign
the necessary permission for the
new main W of Lafayette in Pine
street, to pass through the company's
| SlOulk0S W = A0AA OotASDy NAllA
Creek. Senator Edwards, the associ-
atoms counsel, dropped in just in
time to unravel the sparl, and stated
that the severe illness of Mr.. Stirling
had been the sole cause for the delay
in issuing the necessary papers, and
that but a day or two was needed to
complete the necessary formalities.
The members of the association are
also enthusiastically in favor of ex-
tending Pacific avenue to Garfield
avenue, and appointed Messrs. j. w.
Heck, DIR. Lampson, Refill, Hitler,
James Stevens, William Edwards, and
j. w. Hardenbergh a committee to
agitate the matter. 1t is feared that
owing to the heavy assessments re-
Gently levied upon the property own
ers on the line of the proposed assess
ment for the opening of several adj
joining streets, they will be hard to
win over.
But, once more, the astuteness of
Senator Edwards may be brought into
play and the difficulty surmounted.

crease of sixty-three over the attend
Rnce last year. The attendance at No.

The largest grammar department at
tendance was 492 at School No. Q; the
largest primary department attend
n 977, at School No. z.
The total seating capacity Of the
School is 10, S14, which indicates that
there are nearly /, 100 seats in the var
ious schools now occupied. This, how
ever, is Cue probably to the absence
of pupi since the total enrolment
is I5,8 3 IN excess of thirteen over the
seating capacity. There are Adj
seats ia the grammar department,
and 4,849 registered pupils; and what
overcrowding there is in the primary

transacted little business. 1t was de-
cided to transfer 81, 900 from the sink

the Board took a lengthy recess. The
resolution offered by Councilman

rants on the Second National Bank
for $40, 900, the amount for which
bonds have been issued for the pur-
pose of opening up River street.

THREE CAPTURED SCOUTS.
THEY STARTED FOR THE PLAINS
fifth PISTOLS AND Il DOG.


Fate Overlook Them at Orange, and Now
They Are Crying for Their Mammas in
the Hoboken Police Standardization
Notes.
Dime novel glory has been denied
three ambitious New York boys, who
started for the plains last night. OH
Ger Kenny. who is stationed at the
ferry, cut their career of valor very
short. He scooped them in, and they
had a whole night to reflect over their
spoiled conquests over the hordes OF
the prairies.
Their names are Philip and Owen
Carroll, of No. 341 East Thirty-frst
street, New York, and Roger Ryan, OF
No. 1927 East Thirty-sixth street. They
were all under thirteen years OF age,
were evidently the children OF re-
spectacle parents, and all attired IN
short knickerbockers. The only things
needed to become genuine cowboys
were mustangs, as they were fuily1
equipped with arms. They carried
between them a rifle, three brand e
thirty-two calibre revolvers, and three
dirk knives, and they had a dog as
well. The boys admitted having
found him, and said they were gong
to use him to follow trails.
The young travellers had got as far
as Orange on their Western journey
when the conductor spied them and
guessing all was not right, handed
them over to the station agent when
the train arrived at that place. They
were sent back by the next train and
handed over by Conductor John Long
to the police. The sight of the officer
thoroughly cowed the young trail hun
tiers who submitted to being bundled
off to the police station in a most in
glorious fashion.
After about half an hour of confine-
ment the boys wanted their mothers,
and cried themselves to sleep. Three
curly little heads nestled together, and
the West and Indians were forgotten
In dreamless and untroubled sleep.
AS the pistols, knives and gun were
quite new, and the boys admitted they
had found the dog, it is supposed by
the police that the boys either came
into wrongful possession of some
money or stole the articles from some
store in New York.

Bishop Vincent.

Rev. j. II. Vincent, ID. d., l.. l.. D.,
Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church,
lectured in the opera house on Tuesday
evening to very large audience, subject,
THAT Boy.' Bishop Vincent is the father
of the Chautauqua movement which has
girdled the world. He was also the origna-
tor of the system of lesson leaves used in
the Sunday schools of christicndom. Many
came from distance to see and hear him.
His lecture was a dignifed and powerful
picture of the average boy, and defense of
him that will never be forgotten. The
bishop has many lectures which are sub
lime in conception and utterance, but this
is the favorite because it tends to build sub
lime lives. The next and closing lecture
will be by DIR. Willitts of Louisville; subject,
Sunshine"

Resignation.

At the close of service OH Sunday morn
ing last, Rev. j. Donnelly, pastor of the
Baptist church, read the following resigna-
ton, which was accepted at meeting of
the church held Thursday evening, the pas
toral relations to be dissolved the first Sun
day i'm March:
My DEAR PEOPIE.-Beforc closing this
service permit me TO bring before you
message that has cost me no little anxiety
of mind and heart. l have labored with
you nearly five years as your pastor, and
am happy to state that thus far this rela-
ton has been pleasant TO me, and hope
with some profit to you. Nothing has oc-
CURED to mar our pleasure or disturb our
harmony. The time has now come, how
ever, when change i'm the pastoral relation
seems necessary. For some weeks have
had under consideration the question of ac-
cepting % call from another church i'm our
state. This call has been unsolicited on
my part and comes with such unanmity of
opinion and pressure of claims, that have
deemed it best under the circumstances to
accept
now most respectfully ask that the pres
ent pastoral relation he dissolved as soon
after the first Sunday i'm March as possible,
and that you call business meeting of the
church to socOnsider it.
And now thanking you for your co-opera-
ton I'm my pastOrate, your words of kind
ness and acts of sympathy, and wishing you
rich spiritual blessings In your future work,
| remain yours In the bonds of the gospel,
JOHN DoNNErIX.
