child requested her mother to give her a
note to the teacher asking her to permit
the child to leave the room should she be-

Mrs. Horloff, being busy, sent the child
to school, telling her that should she be-
come unwell the teacher would let her

permission to leave, which was refused,
and she was compelled to remain through
the session. At noon when the child

and secure an extra appropriation Of
5000 from the Board of Finance with
which to reopen the four night schools so
successfully run during the past few
years were unable to appear before the
latter Board at it's last meeting.
School Director Charles A. Pfngsten,
the champion of the night school project,
with Directors Kelly and Moran, his
associates, will argue the matter before

ing;
much good There were four of thel
located respectively at School No. 2, O..
Erie street; School No. 3, on Bright street;
School No. s, on Sherman avenue, and at
School No. IL, on Bergen Square.
They opened December last with an av-
erage register of nearly one thousand
pupils In both primary and grammar
departments, almost equally distributed
throughout the four schools. They were
designed for such pupils as are obliged to
work during the day and wished to de-
vote the evening hours to self improve

Owing to lack of funds the evening
schools, Nos. 8 and s, were obliged to
close at the end of February last, throw
ing number of apt pupils upon their
own resources after getting fair start in
the elementary branches. At Nos. 2 and
II the appropriations ran out at the end
of March, and unless the Finance Board
grants the request the operations
of this department of educational
work can not be resumed.

THE TABLES TURNED.
Mr.. Scheibe, In Court as Prosecutor, Went
Out as Prisoner.

MIR. Scheibe, In Court as Prosecutor, Went
Out as Prisoner.
In the Court of General Sessions
Thomas Wohlheimencke, of Summit ave-
nue., and his wife and twenty y-year-old
son were on trial yesterday afternoon and
this morning, charged with having as
saulted Frederick Scheibe.
The cause of the alleged beating was
the closing up of a driveway between the
house of the defendants and an adjoining
building by Scheibe, which prevented the
driving of a wagon to the defendants
house. Scheibe testified that on the day
in July in question when he returned
home the Wohlheimenckes attacked him
with clubs and beat him severely.
He caused their arrest as soon as he
could drag himself away. When cross
examined by Cornelius Ryerson, who ap-
peared for the defence, Scheibe reluct-
antly admitted that he had been arrested
a number of times for assault and battery
and larceny, and that he had served six
months at Snake Hill.
Now" said Counsellor Ryerson as a
clincher, "were not you convicted in the
Special Sessions of larceny when | de-
Tended YOUR
"Of course he was,' interjected Prose
cutor Winfield, ''if you defended him."
Even the Court was forced to join in
the laughter raised by this answer.
The jury acquitted the defendants.
Immediately afterward Scheibe was
arraigned for assault and battery on
them. He pleaded not guilty and gave
bail to appear for trial Tuesday.

erts are talked of. The Kernites are few
and far between in this district, and the
fight will be between regular Republican
and Democratic candidates.
Freeholder Nelson will be renominated
by the Republican and ex-Director Pair

Sheriff Hintze will contest the nomlna-
ton, though, against Pairson.
THE SIXTH DISTRICT SURE.
The Democrats will carry the sixth
district, as the majority there is over SIX
hundred Assemblyman Hudspeth Will
not run again, and some Bayonne man,
probably Freeholder Rolston, will get the
nomination. The Republicans will noml-
nate John Reed, if he will allow them 10
do 1t. and Billy Ritter may take it into
his head to run as a Kernite candidate.
The Democratic nomination for Free
holder will be rendered to Frank KIM
merly, who is in the present Board.
THE SEVENTH DISTRICT.
In the Seventh district the Democrats
will have it all their own way. The
district is good for Democratic majority
of three Thousand or more. If Police
Commissioner John P. Feeney, who rep
resented the district three times, could be
Commissioner and Assemblyman, he
would be renominated. But as he would
have to resign his Commissionership if he
went to the Legislature, he has decided

ton to ex-Postmaster John F. Kelly.
The friends of Terence j. Carroll are
urging him to make the fight against

and he is not inclined to become bolter.
The Kernites and the few Republicans in
the district may put up candidate SO as
to have little interest in the contest.
Freeholder Kelly is looking for re-

against him.
THE EIGHTH DISTRICT.
Freeholder Andrew Boyle will try for
the Democratic Assembly nomination in
the Eighth district. So will several East

thoroughly Democratic and the Republi-
cans may not make any nomination.
Freeholder Tierney will probably be re-
nominated.
THE NINTH DISTRICT.
In the Ninth district the Republicans
and KerniteS may combine. Lawyer

The Democrats will have no trouble in
electing their candidates in the Tenth
district. John Usher, Augustus Rich

Usher getting the nomination. Assembly

FIVE HUNDRED FOR A HEART.
Mary Hummels Gets Damages from
Tickle Peter Schultz.

Mary Humme1s Gets Damages from
Fickle Peter Schultz.
Mary Hummels, pretty girl of nine,
teen, was the plaintiff in suit for dam
ages in the Circuit Court yesterday The
damages she claimed were for orunreqnited
love, and the destroyer of her happiness
was Peter G. Schultz.
Both young people reside on Thorn
street and have been neighbors tor some
years. 1t was in this neighborly way that
other neighbors usually do and that this
young girl learned to love Schultz. He
promised to marry her on November 25,
1886, when she was but sixteen years old,
so she says, and she prepared for the cere-
mony, Before the day arrived he met one
Louise Meier, d very prepoSSessing girl,
who lived near by, and was smitten with
her. 1t was claimed that this was the
reason he failed to perform his obligation
to marry his promised wife, and asked
her to defer the wedding day until March
6, 1887.
She reluctantly consented, and after
receiving this respite Schultz became
more devoted than ever to the fair Louise.
In fact, his time was wholly taken up
with the two girls, and he lived in mix
ture of suspense and happiness. When
the wedding day again rolled around he
was more in love with Louise than ever.
and was by no means prepared to marry
Mary
He asked for his liberty until April, and
then camly told her that he had concluded
not to marry her at all. Soon afterward
he rendered this impossible by marrying
Louise Meier, and, as Mary claims, break
ing her heart.
AS salve for this damaged organ she
asked the Court to compel Schultz to pay
her $1,000. Counsellor Max Salinger
brought the suit for the broken hearted
one, and entered into the case with so
much vigor that he effected a compro-
mise before it went to the calm delibera-
tions of jury. Schultz agreed to pay
the deceived girl $500 and the suit was

MRS. SCOH7'S DISGRACE.
Disgusting Her Children in
Rags and Sending Them
Out to Beg.
FIFTY DOLLARS A WEEK FOR Rum.
Husband and Sons Earned Good
Wages, but All Was Squandered.

Mrs. Elizabeth Scott and her chiIdred
of No. % Stagg street, who were arraigned
before Justice Wanser, yesterday
morning, the former charged with cruelty
to children, and the latter with larceny,
as noted in last evenings JERSEY CITx
NEWS, were rearraigned this morning.
Detective McNally produced the father
and charged him also with violating the
cruelty to children law.
He pleaded not guilty, and proved his
case to the satisfaction OF the Court. He
was discharged.
The mother, however, was held, to-
gether with the children, the latter for
the theft of keg of spikes from the ID.
L. & w. Railroad and quantity of lead
from contractor Nelson, of No. 1853 Nelson
auenue. The youngsters pleaded guilty
to both charges.
DISGUISED AS BEGGARs.
The downfall of the family is attributed
by Scott to rum. He makes good wages
and his sons make good wages and
money was plenty in the house. But the
little ones were put in rags on their re-
turn from school each afternoon by their
mother and sent out to beg.
Scott says that not only his earnings
and his sons earnings, but the money the
children begged was thrown away by his
wife for liquor. She is an inveterate
drunkard and as much as $50 has been
wasted by her in week.
Mrs. Scott is not the least fastidious in
her tastes, yet from $45 to $50 week
appears to be insufficient to keep her
family. The begging of her children was
such q nuisance to the neighbors that
they complained of her A long term
stares her in the face. The children will
doubtless be sent to the Reform School.
A HOME DESTROYED FOR DRINK.
The Scott family occupy neat little
house on Stagg street, an ungraded road.
A Mr.. Curtiss. who has lived in the
vicinity score of years, said:-"It was q
notorious fact for fully five years that
while the father worked and made good
