JERSEY CITY YACHT CLUB.

A Coming PIanlSed shad Feast - The
Clubs Growth.
Great promises of surprising events are
held out to the members. An Amusement
Committee was appointed to attend to all
entertainments, first of which will be the
Annual Planked Shad, which will be
held as soon as the shad seasons opens,
and for which this club stands second
to none being the first to introduce this
method of cooking shad in this vicinity
ON a large scale. Other events will follow
as the season advances. Everything
points to a season of great activity among
the Jersey City yachtsmen
The treasurer's report shows the club to
be in good financial condition, with every
prospect of o largely increased member
ship. AT last four large yachts will be
added to the fleet at the beginning of the
season.
Since the removal of its club house last
season the club seems to have become
more of an attraction to the members and
their friends. Several informal dinners
have been held at the club house during
the winter The club is the second Oldest
yacht club in the country. AS an organ
ization of yachtsmen it stands second only
to the New York Yacht Club,
The membership is steadily increasing
and the club will soon be in way to
make some very extensive improvements
in and around the club house grounds.
Extensive alterations and improvements
are projected in the near future.

DINNER TICKETS IN DEMAND.

Every One Interested in the Success of
the Boarl of Trade Banquet.
The committee which has in charge the
Board of Trade dinner held meeting at
the Palma Club last evening to hear re-
ports and perfect the final arrangements
for the dinner. AS the result of their con-
sultation the committee adjourned highly
gratified at the certainty that the affair
will be grand success and the proof
afforded that the Board of Trade has ac-
quired the confidence of the best class of
our business men.
There has been an expected outside de-
mand for tickets, and but for the desire of
the committee to give the preference to
the members of the Board who
have been somewhat tardy in their
applications the full capacity of the
room could have been occupied in
this manner. It is positively certain
that Mr.. Erastus Wiman and either Mr..
f. H. or r. H. Thurber will be present.
There will also be delegations present
from the Boards of Trade of New York,
Newark, Paterson and Trenton, while
Mayor Cleveland, Ex-Governor Albeit,
Gilbert Collins and Major q. K. Pangborn
will all contribute to the pleasure of the
occasion The menu will be elaborate
and inviting. There will be music and
flowers cld lib, and the Board of Trade
dinner will mark an era in the business
history of Jersey City.

MR.. HILLS "GRowLER."
For Example, at the Old Foundry Mis-

For Example, at the Old Foundry Mis-
sion He Hasn't Worked 1t Lately.
Thomas Hill, the founder of the Old
Foundry Mission on Railroad avenue, is
much offended at the recent reference in
the Journal to his 'growler"
''Tn tell You all about that" he said to
me today. 'I like glass of beer once in
q while. 1t was part of my living-I took
it as | do my tea. But when / started the
mission made up my mind to drop it,
not because it was harning me, but for
the sake of those who might look up to
me as an example. And / have not since
touched or tasted of it,
sThat did not deter Miss Lockwood,
however, from slandering me, by saying
upon Mr.. Newman to dismiss her from the
service at the mission; and he promised to
do it, but went back on his word.
'Then the trouble began. l have since
written q letter to Mr.. Newman, calling
upon him to surrender the books which he
and the directors have in their possession.
Their refusal was based on the ground
that might use the books against them
'I have since written to him, however,
that he may inform the Board of Directors
that if there is anything wrong about the
books, as have no desire TO detect wrong
/ will waive all claim may have made to
them, although the minutes may be of
much value to me some day.
81 have also sent this letter to the Board
of Directors.
.sBRETHREN-In consideration of q resolution
offered by the directors of the Old Foundry Mis-
sion lam very willing, if the Board thinks proper,
to carry on a mission elsewhere, to take all the
property belonging to the Board providing it
paws the Indebtedness thereof otherwise will
assume the same.

Observe 1t in This City.
The Ancient Order of Hibernians of
Hudson county, of which Patrick LAWN
is county delegate, and which extends into

ton comprising 75,000 men, forming no

powerful organization of the Irish race,

sums of money to aid Mr.. Parnell.
The proceeds of the demonstration on
ct, Patrick's Day will be given to the Par

They Must Stand Trial
on the Indictment for
MalfeasanCe in
Office.
CONTRACTOR COOK ESCAPES.
The Decision Of the Supreme
Court on the Certiorari
Proceedings.

District Attorney Winfield today re-
ceived the decision of the Supreme
Court sustaining the indictments OF
the "Big Four of the Board OF
Works, but letting Contractor William
R. Cook out of the scrape.
As to Cook, the Court ruled:
AS has been seen, the charter OF Jersey
City, by section 159, prohibits the award
of the contract for such work without
previous advertisement for proposals, and
the willful disobedience of that prohibition
constitutes criminal offence. But there is
no prohibition Of the payment of money
for such work actually done for the city
when there is no previous advertisement
for proposals. This charge therefore
shows no willful disobedience of any pre-
scribed rule of the charter. The act OF
improperly paying out public money
may be a breach of duty arising
out of the official relation and SO
constitute criminal offence, but in charg-
ing such offence the Indictment must show
the money to have been Improperly PAID.
Here the only showing improper action
and paying consists in the averment
UuAU IL WIS uOQG WluIOuO plOflOt9 az
vertisement for proposals. But that
was no breach Of duty arising
out of the official relation in the absence
of statutory requirements. The indict-
ment therefore does not show that defend
ants have committed an indictable offence
and must therefore be quaShed.
One of the two indictments that
hold is for awarding the street clean
ing contract without advertising for
proposals, in which the city paid
$12,0O0; and the other for awarding a
contract to other than the lowest bid
der after properly advertising, by
which the city lost So, 900.
These indictments are against Com
missioners Kerr Watt and Hilliard
and ex-ComI1issioner Reynolds-com-
monty known as the Big Four"
Prosecutor Winfield says that the
trial will take place at the April term.

ALL HATE MILAN.
His Abdication Has Restored Public Con-
idence-His Military Fame.
TBy Gable to the United Press.l

Ills ADOtcALiOn mas heSCOreu r uDAAS NoA7
fdence-His Military Fame.
by Gable to the United Press.l
VIENNA, March o. 1ss9.-The jubilant
feeling aroused by the abdication of King
Milan has not yet subsided in Belgrade,
but is spreading throughout Servia- NO
one who has not travelled through Servia
within the last two years can estimate the
measure of detestation in which Milan
was held by the masses, and
consequently the secret joy at. his
virtual overthrow cannot be conceived.
The fact that it would be as Impossible
for him to return to the throne, except py
the force of some great power, as 1t would
be for him to usurp the throne OF Austria
or Russia is growing palmer every day,
and in spite of his retention of the chief
command of the Servian army his military
power and prestige are fast fading INTO
nOthingness.
Since King Milan was ignominiously
thrashed by Prince Alexander of Bulgaria
his influence over the army, except that
which he exercised as sovereign. has
steadily declined, until he has finally be-
come the laughing stock OF an army
which, though small in numbers, IS TOO
brave to be led by poltroon;;
capitals and here as well that although
Milan is recognized as the Commander in
Chief of the Servian army, he will never
be permitted to lead the Servian soldiers
into battle, and, indeed, it is well under
stood that it would not be safe for him to
do so. Four-ffths of the Servian sold1ery
are o-Russian, and not one of them has
forgotten the outrageous treatment which
Milan visited upon his wife, Russian
lady.
NJ Ristics, the head of the Servian
Board of Regents, hates Milan as he does
snake, and at the same time ne is cred
tied with having greater love for Queen
Natalie than one man should have for an
other mans wife. 1t has been Natalie S
ambition to see her son seated upon the
throne of Servia. and it will be strange
indeed, now that he is enthroned, if she
does not soon find her way back to Bel
grade, supported by M. Ristics influence,
If not by Russian bayonets.
In spite of the fact that Roumania has
been ccnspicuously friendly to Russia, it
has been observed that since the abdica-
tion of King Milan Russian agents have
been very active in Bucharest. Already
threats have been made to blow up the
Chamber of Deputies with dynamite, and
it is said that several high officials OF the
Government have been approached by
Russian emissaries with view to secur-
ing definite Russian domination OF the
Council.

THE COMING CONFERENCE.

The Church Changes That May be Made
in this City Next Month.
This year the Newark conference will
meet at Plainfield on April 8. There will
be no changes in the presiding elders. A
feg of the ministers will be changed, but
the majority of them will remain at their
present charges. 1t seems that the five
years time does not work well for
few of the churches have requested the
return of their pastors for the fourth year.
The following changes will likely occur in
this city: Rev g. w. Smith, of Centenary
Church, will go to Hackettstown; Rev. j..

Rev. P. G. Muller, of Elizabeth, will go to

Floods in England.
TBv Gable to the United Press.

LONDON, March 8, 1SS9.-Floods in the
west of England have caused much dam
age and trouble. Trains are delayed, and
in many cases it has been impossible for
them to proceed for hours, passengers
being obliged to sleep aboard the trains
during the night.
The city of Taunton has been made an
island of, communication by ordinary
means being cut off. The water is now
slowly subsiding. Such flood has not
occurred in the memory of the present
generation.
Heavy rains in the vicinity of Taunton
have overfiown the banks of the Tone and
inundated the town. The railroad tracks
are submerged and several bridges have
been demolished, throwing people into
the water No one is reported drowned,
but many persons were saved with great
difficulty.
