The penchant possessed by Captain j.
G. Kastendiek for affording entertain.
ment to Hudson county folk is only off
set by the penchant possessed by Hudson
county folk for taking advantage of the
entertainment he affords. During the
present summer he and the pleasant out
ings he has arranged have become very
popular with the people of Jersey City
and the neighboring communities.
Sunday after Sunday and on other days
of the week he has delighted thousands oi
pleasure-seekers by taking them aboard
of the fast sailing and handsomely fitted
up steamboat, St Johns, to points where
cool, refreshing and healthful breezes
CHEEKY sunshine or quiet shade, beautiful
scenery and various famous features OF
history and nature abound.
His latest outing programme, arranged
for every Sunday during August, EN-.
braces sail aboard the St. Johns up the
Hudson to the wonderful Poughkeepsie

PRISON LABOR.
Supervisor Butler Shows Why the Piece
Price System is q Failure.

Supervisor Butler Shows Why the Piece
Price System is q Failure.
Imet Henry L. Butler, the Supervisor
this city last evening. He had been busy
all day on the business of awarding con-
tracts under the piece price system.
'The contracts" /" he said, ''are given out
for four year terms. They are just about
expiring now. We advertised for new pro-
posals for the prison labor and have re-
ceived q number. We have power TO
award contracts for not less than two nor
generally insist upon four year contracts,
and that is the term for which they are
being made.
s'The piece price system, under which
the prison labor is let now," he went on,
sis as bad and bothersome as it can be for
this State. Under the old contract sys-
tenn, all we had to do was to put the men
at work, and take our little fifty cents per
day per head. We had no responsibility
at all, except to preserve order. 1t made
no difference to us whether the men did
much work or little.
"The contractors may have driven the
men. Now the State itself is obliged to
screw all out of them that it can get, So
that in that respect the net result is
about the same. In other respects the
result is a loss to the State. The
best we are able to average out
of the men now is forty
cents day, and even that is not sure
thing. AS to the effect on labor in the
State-well, the prison industry under the
piece price system, has already wiped out
the Manufacture of brushes in the State.
and one form of prison labor must be just
as hurtful to the State as the other form
of it.

CHRIST AS THE CORNER STONE.
Pastor Bruce Comments on st. Pau1's

Pastor Bruce Comments on St. Paul's
Words, Apropos of the New Church.
Pastor Bruce, of the Greenville Re-
formed Church, intended to make an
address at the laying of the corner stone
of the new church on Thursday, but
owing to the weather he postponed it
until last evening, when the parlors of
Mr.. Thomas Reid's residence, No. 95 Dan
forth avenue, were comfortably filed by
q congregation anxious to hear what the
young pastor had to say.
At his request hymn was first sung,
and was followed by a prayer, offered by
Superintendent Brooks, of the Sunday
school.
Pastor Bruce is a young man, smooth
shaven, and last night he wore an alpaca
coat. The most clerical part of his attire
was little white tie. He has been pas
tor over the congregation for two years.
and is much liked.
The Rev. Mr.. Young was expected to
be present last evening, but he tele-
graphed that he could not come. Pastor
the day before, said:-"Well does the
Apostle liken Jesus Christ to stone!
We think of stone as some hard sub
stance, but st. Paul intended to convey
the strength of Christ by the comparison .
He then compared the Saviour with the
m0nQl1Cn at Ceutral farK, anu SAID tnaG
although it had borne inscriptions on il
for many centuries time was effacing it.
This, he declared, could not be with
Christ as a corner stone of Christianity.
He would always exist If any change
could take place in the Saviour the whole
Christian Church would crumble away
Christ could not change for the better
and never would for the worse.
AS a corner stone of religion he con-
trasted Jesus with Mahomet and Joseph
Smith and said those two founders of a
religion had faults, but none could be
discovered in Christ He was, in truth,
the corner stone of Christian faith He
was never conquered, but he conquered
the world by love.
would live to see the conservation of the
church of which the corner stone was laid
the day before he closed his remarks and
a prayer meeting followed.

The Howling Dog That Frightened the
Wits Out of the Court House People.
A sad-eyed dog with a severe attack of
cholera morbus or sewer gas did great
work yesterday afternoon.
He had the good fortune to be owned by
Mr.. A. j. Nickles, of the Surrogate's
office, and had been carefully reared
When walking through the Court House
grounds the symptoms of his illness be-
came SO pronounced that "Tiger" began
bowling serenade in front of the
Sheriffs office.
This bad omen troubled Under Sheriff
McPhillips and he showed" Tiger away
in terror The animal evidently believing
that safety could be obtained behind iron
bars sought the Jail.
When he entered the office bowling and
frothing at the mouth, Jailer Birdsall
jumped ON top of a desk that is five feet
high, and Assistant Eltrlngham seized a
gun and climbed on chair.
Deputy Keeper Edward Hanley was
quite rapid in his flight to window.
When all were thus made safe, if not
comfortable, consultation OF war was
held, and Tiger howled in derison.
Each dared the other and each said the
other was afraid. This lasted until
Keeper Hanley made a flank movement
and entered the room by means of the
door, armed with club.
This settled doggy. The club fell on
his head and he became a dog angel. He
was removed to the cellar for the dead

SULLIVAN GOING SOUTH.

He Passes Through Cincinnati En- Route
for Governor Lowry's Realm.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, August 3, 1SS9-John
L. Sullivan passed through this city last
night in charge of Deputy Sheriff L. F.
Chiles, of Mississippi.
Sullivan has made the statement that
he did not know that his fight with Kill
rain would take place in Mississippi until
such late date that it was next to impos-
sible for him to have the location of the
battle-ground changed.
That the Boston boy was sincere in the
statement is evidenced by an incident
that occurred in this city when he was on
his way to the South. Mr.. John Sullivan,
the saloon keeper, OF this city, is warm,
personal friend of the great pugilist, and
the latter was very desirous that his
namesake should witness his battle with
Kilrain.
While the big fellow was stopping at
the Burnett House he handed Mr.. Sulli-
van card, on which was written Flor
enyille La.n "There is where the fight
will come off, said he, ''and my only re-
quest is that the matter be kept secret"
AS the information in regard to the To-
cation of the battle ground had been i'm
parted to Mr.. Sullivan under strict
charge Of secrecy, he did not make any
disclosure of what he had learned until
Yesterday. Mr.. Sullivan states that he is
willing to make an affidavit In regard to
the matter, if he thought that it would
assist the big fellow in his trial.
Boston, August 8, 1SS9.-Mrs. Sullivan,
the venerable mother of John L., is COM
pIetely prostrated by the news of her
sons arrest. She has been very ill for
some time, and efforts were made to hide
the facts from her, but by some means
the news reached her and caused severe
shock.
LOUISVILLE, KY, August 8, 1885, John
L. Sullivan, in charge of Deputy Sheriff
Chiles, of Hines county, Miss, arrived in
this city at five o'clock this morning en-
here till the noon train on the Louisville
and Nashville, and was driven about
town by Major Ed Hughes, Chief of the
| Fire Department, who was bottle holder
at the Sullivan-Kilrain mill.

LIQUOR IN THE ELECTION.
The Association Contemplates a Non
Partisan Course.

The Association Contemplates Nom
Partisan Course.
At the quarterly meeting of the Liquor
Dealers Association, to be held at
Roche's Hall, big turn out of the mem
bers is expected.
A rumor is flying round to the effect
that the position which the association
will take in the approaching campaign
will be mapped out. 1t is the intention OF
the association to select committee who
will confer with both of the political par
ties in order to ascertain their views upon
the liquor question.
From remarks made by several promi-
nent liquor men, was led to believe that
in the coming campaign the association
will make a strong effort to secure the
election of men who will, as one man
said, "Rive US show not to break the
laws, but to have the same chance as
Others"
AS far as can be learned the Association
will not stand by the Democratic party
altogether, unless men can be found who
will promise to work in the interests of
the Association, and if they cannot be
found then the Republicans will have a
good chance for support.

The Democratic State Convention re-
ferred the matter of preparing the State
Convention to committee consisting OF
Messrs. Lee, Crane and Kruger. They
had power to fix the date without con-
sultipg with the State Committee again.
w hen the State Committee made this ar
rangement it was understood generally
that the convention would be held soon
after September is. 1t has been recently
reported. on the alleged authority OF
Allan l.. McDermott, the chairman of
the State Committee, that the date will
be September 10, and that Taylor's Opera
House, in Trenton, will be the place.
The Democratic County Committee of
this county has not, as yet. taken any
action looking towards the election of
delegates Intimations have been dropped
that this will be done at an unusually
early stage of the game; but committee
man who was seen this morning said that
the call cannot be issued, of course, till
the State Committee officially announces
the date of the Convention, and that the
custom of holding the primaries about
ten days prior to the convention will be
adhered to likely.

A Point for Mrs. Maybrick.

By Gable to the United Press
LIVERPOOL, August 8, 1SS9.-In the May
brick trial today, DR.. Stevenson testified

the use of arsenic.

ing offered to him. Witness testified that
no improper food or medicine was given
to Maybrick while she was attending him

ENGLAND WITH ITALY.
Their Readiness to Act Together Alarms
France.

FThnCGs
LONDON, August 3, 1SS9.-The insti-
gators of the Cretan troubles have par
TALLY succeeded in their object, which
was undoubtedly to irritate the Ottoman
government and by provoking hostilities
still further to intensity the prejudices OF
Western Europe against Turkish rule
over a people nominally Christian. The
prompt attitude of the English and
Italian fleets saved the Cretans from ex-
treme measures and prevented the out
cry against Turkish persecution, whlcn
would have followed any extensive
retribution upon the revolving islanders.
The Willingness of the English to act
with the Italian fleet is viewed with great
alarm in France, which Is more than ever
made aware of her declining influence in
the Mediterranean, and is furthermore
indignant at the increased aggressiveness
of England in Egypt. The advance of
the Dervishes has furnished an
excuse for pouring more troops
into that country, and France
must be now convinced of what was long
ago apparent to the restof the world, that
England has no intention of abandoning
a country in which her pecuniary interests
are so enormous. A ruInor current today
in Paris of serious reverses to the forces
of General Grenfell created some uneasi-
ness here, but there has been no conhrma-
ton of the report, and it is probably un-
true.
Great interest is taken in the announce
ment that Prince Henry of Battenberg
is to be given an English title. and that
no less one than the Duke of Kent.
Probably it would be difficult to convince
foreigners that this would be promotion
and that an English duke looks down
upon any Continental prince whatsoever,
but no Englishman doubts that it is so.
There is even among the nobility strong
opposition-it might be said feeling OF
| disgust-at the nomination. The last to
enjoy the lapsed title of the Duke OF
Kent was Her Majesty's own father, and
the idea of ''beggarly foreigner" being
raised to such a dignity is revolving to
every true English peer.

Railroad avenue, and the curt ain will

describe it as "a charming little show
done, and the performance is clean, at
tractive and satisfactory. Among the
feats worthy of special praise are Master
Lew Hunting's, whose wonderful work as
an expert on the tight wire is show in
itself. Also, the vaulting and somersault
on the rope by FL Nino Eddie, and gym
nastic feats of Ricardo and Fitz. The

Buffalo Strikes Gas.

BUFFALO, N. Y, August 8, 1852
Natural gas was struck on the property
of the Lion Brewery, in this city, with a
pressure of 1000 pounds to the square
Inch. Some time ago gas was found at
Lang's brewery and this induced drilling
on the property of the Lion Brewery with
the result stated. The success attending
the drilling of these wells has caused con-
siderable stir and q movement is on foot
to put down wells in other parts of the
city. Experts say there is good ground
for expecting that sufficient gas underlies
the city to supply its wants.
