REMOVING THE DEBRIS,
Few people appreciate the function Of
the skin in removing from tie circulatory
system waste matter. Be it known, there
fore, that healthy person will, in twenty
four hours. exceete from the skin about IS
OF. of water, about 300 gr. of solid matter
and about 400 gr. of carbonic acid gas. 1t
is of the utmost importance that this de-
bris be frequently removed. Hence the
necessity of bathing often. But the bath
must not irritate and inflame the skin as
it will do if highly scented and colored
soaps are used. The highest authority be-
slows upon Messrs. a. & Z. Pears. of Lon
don, the credit of manufacturing the finest
and purest soap in the world.

FREEHOLDER KENNY DEAD.
How Shall the Vacancy in the Board b'
Filled?


How Shall the Vacancy in the Board be
Filled?
At quarter to two this morning, Free
holder James Kenny, died at his home, IS
Washington street, Hoboken, after brief
illness. Last Wednesday night, Mr..
Kenny was taken suddenly i'll and doc-
tor stated that Mr.. Kenny had pneumonia;
On Saturday night his life awas despalreo
of, but Sunday he rallied and hopes were
entertained of his recover.
This morning a relapse set In, however,
and he passed quietly away.
The deceased was born in the Ninth
ward, New York, forty-seven years ago.
At the age of uwenty-nine years he came
to Hoboken and settled in the First ward.
He joined Hoboken Engine Company NO.
/ and by his popularity was elected As
sistant Chief and Chief of the Fire De-
partment. He was elected Councilman
from the First ward for three terms and
served two years as Freeholder from the
Ninth district.
At the last election he ran against John
Bruming, the regular nominee. ana oeaI
him by 500 votes. During the canvass ne
was out night and day and worked IRE e
lessly. He was man of weak constlGu-
tion. and the contest undermined MS
health
The deceased was also member of the
Thirty-seventh Regiment Irish VoIun-
teers, New York; Major Woerner Post
No. ii and an exempt fireman. The nags
on all of the public buildings are at halI-
mast.
The funeral will take place from Crane 8
Hall at two o'clock Thursday afternoon.
Mr.. Kenny's death creates q vacancy IN
the Board of Freeholders. There, seems
to be provided no method in the law ror
the filing of the vacancy, and 1t is ques-
tion whether it shall be by special cleo
tion or by appointment of the Board, OF
whether it can be filled at all.

LEE sING'S CONTRACT.

1t Is Written in the Firecrac kerr Wash
Bill Scrip and Nobody Can Read 1t.
A novel suit is now pending in the
First District Court. For the first time
in the history of that tribunal case is to
be tried in which both plaintiff and de-
fendant are Cinnamon. Lee Sing brings
the suit through Collins and Corbin
against All Wan and Guy Ming, parters,
&c.
Lee alleges that he entered into con-
tract with the defendants to purchase a
laundry at NO. 31S Grove street, and paid
down portion of the purchase money to
bind the contract When the time came
for Messrs. Wan ana Ming to deliver over
the laundry they refused either to do so
or to return Sing the deposit he had
made.
Lee Sing exhibits, in support of his
statement, a small strip of red paper COW
cred with fire cracker characters, which
ne claims is the contract which was
drawn up between him and the defend
ant. Nobody has been found yet who can
read the contract, and as Judge Douglass
is not so well acquainted with the Chinese
language as he would like to be, the case
was set down this morning for trial on

ONE KILLED. Two HURT.
A Copper Digester in a
First Street Candle Fac
tory Explodes.

In the centre of the block bounded by
streets, A. Crosses extensive candle fac
tory has been one of the prominent
industries of that densely popul ated
section. The works until yesterday
afternoon consisted of three buildings,
one of brick and two stories high, and the
others frame structures, one story high.
digester, made of copper, three
fourths of an inch thick. and having a
capacity of one thousand gallons, occu-
pied an open shed in the middle of the
yard. The digester separated the para
fine from the fatty material, and is fed by
steam from the boiler room in the main
building on First street.
CRASH
About twenty minutes past four O'Clock
yesterday afternoon the sound of an ex-
plosion, followed by crash of flying ma
terial, the sound of escaping steam and a
sharp vibration that rocked the neighbor-
ing buildings, excited and terrified every
body in the vicinity.
The cause was soon apparent. The d1-
gester had exploded from some cause not
yet ascertained, the apparatus had been
blown into fragments, the liquid paraflne
thrown high, drenched the entire block,
| and flying timberS dealt destruction to
property A fire alarm was promptly re-
| sponded to by Chief Farrier and the Fire
Department, and in few moments an
| immense crowd blocked Bay and First
streets, and the police had difficulty in

extent of the disaster.

| Fritz Greenwald, a coal passer, who
| was nearest to the digester when it eX-
| ploded, was found dead amid the debris,
| ana his body covered with wounds. Near
him in the wreck were Rudolph Bractus
and Frederick Kahleke, employees of the
| factory. The former had been injured in
| the side severely, but not dangerously.
Kahleke's arm and hand were terribly
! scalded by tallow, and he was sent to the
City Hospital ssGreenwald, who was sixty

| children, the youngest babe.
| The amount of loss and damage to the
surrounding property has not been ascer-
| tanned.
CITY STABLES DAMAGED.
| The stable of the city's pipe yard, separ-
ated by an open lot from the scene of the
explosion, caught it worse than any other
| building. A piece of timber, one foot
long, crashed through the hay loft, from
| side to side, just as Stableman Patrick
Nevin's head had disappeared beneath
| the floor as he descended to the lower
| floor. One side of the stable was wrecked,
and piece Of one-inch iron pipe was
| hurled against the main building.
| A large pole, used for clothes lines, in
| the next yard, was knocked down by a
| Eying missile, bat fortunatelyno one out
| side the wrecked building was injured.
Parafine is scattered all over the neigh

Frederick Mersheimer, collector of ar
rears of personal taxes, was paid IS, 7SS by
the Provident Institution for Savings
yesterday
Two years ago the Bank claimed ex-
emption from personaltaxation under an
act 1888, and refused to pay the tax bill
when presented.
Meanwhile case of a similar nature
was pending in the Supreme Court. A
suit was brought by the City of Trenton
against one of its savings banks. The
directors of the Providence agreed with
Mr.. Mersheimer to abide by the decision
in this case.
The Supreme Court month ago de-
cided that the act was unconstitutional.
and Provident directors were obliged to
hand over the ducats.
The bank officials claim that they
thought the law had been passed for the
special benefit of savings banks.

SHEEP HIDES ABLAzE.
Fire on Claremont Avenue Does $4,000
Worth of Damage.


Shortly after eleven O'Clock last night
Moran's sleeps hide mandatory on
Claremont avenue and the Norris Canal
caught fire and was totally destroyed.
The business was carried on in a two
story brick and two frame buildings.
In the former were the cleaning and
driving rooms. New and valuable ma
chinery had been put IN here last week.
In the two latter were the packing and
shipping rooms, and an apartment for
the preparation of the wool when shorn
from the hide.
There was no watchman at. the works
last night, and the fire had gained con-
siderable headway before being discov-
cred.
Two alarms were sent out, to which
the department promptly responded.
The air became impregnated with the
smell of burning hides and wool, and
sickened the bystanders. The air is still
full of it, The fire burned for two hours.
The loss is estimated at nearly $4,000,
and is covered by insurance. An over,
heated stove is believed to have caused
the blaze.
