NOTHING FOR THE POOR.

Hobolxen's Fund For Their Relief Is Ex-
hausted-One Sad Story From Many
A Little Girl Asked Aims in Vain
While Her Father Lay Dying in Their
Home.
At the beginning of the year when the
amount Of the various appropriations
were made up the Tax Commissioners
were stricken with the economic craze
The Police Commissioners will have as
much as they can do tomake their amount
hold out; the Board of Education is ever
lastingly obliged to reduce the teachers
salaries to make both ends meet, but the
most woful want of discernment is appar
ent in the totally inadequate sum placed
at the disposal of Poormaster Miller
The amount appropriated for his depart
ment was only 50, ,500 of which all has
been used up with the exception of $50,
which has to last until May, unless the
Council can provide some means whereby
the amount can be made up.
Crowds of poorly dressed and half
starved men, women and children are
daily clamoring at the door of Mr. Miller's
office waiting for the loaf Of bread which
would be feast for SO many impoverished
families. They turn away with a sigh
when they are informed that they cannot
be assisted by the city, and beg a meal
from some other quarter.
The laboring classes have experienced a
hard winter without work or any prospect
of work, and the amount of poverty among
them is really grievous. In the Fourth
ward there are scores of families who are
literally starving, and for which
no assistance can be rendered
The proprietors of small grocery
stores have been giving out goods on trust
all the winter in the hope that they will
be paid as soon as warmer weather comes
AT the last meeting of the Council Mr.
Miller sent in report on the condition of
the finances in his department, but no
action was taken
One case worthy of attention that has
been brought to my notice is that of
Johann Niehelein, a laborer, dying of con-
sumption at No. 1913 Second street. There
is no chance of his recovering, and his
wife and six children are absolutely in
want of food. The eldest of the children
called upon the overseer on Saturday
morning and stated the case to him, but
Mr.. Miller was obliged to send her to her
home without assistance.
Mr. Miller told me that ten years ago
the appropriation for the Poor Fund was
S4. COO, but now that the population of
poor is thrice what it was then, the appro-
priation has by some economical freak
been cut down $500.
Several charitable ladies and some of
the churches have taken the matter up
and are devoting much of their time and
energy toward allaying the suffering of
Hoboken's unfortunate poor.

Mr.. Marsh calculated that his bill would
elect six Democrats, but the Republicans
seemed to like it SO much that it was re-
committed In Mr.. Marsh's plan Allan
tic was in the First instead of the Second

Governor Green sent in q veto of the bill
pensioning colored troops credited to New
Jersey, who served in the late war. The
bill refers to the marine corps, which by
some accident had been left out in the
cold. The members had waxed eloquent
over the measure, but they had forgotten
to make it either constitutional or intel
ligible to person not acquainted with its
object. This was the reason of the veto.
The House itself vetoed Wiedenmayer's
telegrams to be delivered in cities without
extra charge.

fore the House Committee on Municipal
Corporations next Tuesday, at noon Mr..
Feeney wanted the hearing tomorrow,
saving that the members wanted to pass
the bill before the end OF the week.
Mr.. Brown objected on the ground that
it would be impossible to notify the citi-

They are Keys, Schmelz and Patterson.

Mohhing mother and child.

foreman of the car cleaners in the Pull
man Palace Car Company, discharged
Mrs. Summers for being habitually
drunk. Mrs. Summers and her husband,
with William Bleicher, another dis
charged employee, spent yesterday in
drinking and discussing their designs
upon Blueher Finally they boldly
marched up the stairway leading to
Blueher's rooms and stormed the
door. When it gave way they
found Mrs. Blueher, alone and frightened,
holding her baby in her arms. Mrs. Sum
mers showered Mrs. Blueher with vile
names, while one of her compau-
ions tore the child from, the mothers
embrace and dashed it to the floor. Some
of the other tenants rescued the child
from further injury and Mrs. Blueher fed
into the street.
This morning warrants were issued for
the arrest of the trio.

Thompson, but he had elaborated an ex-
cruciatingly funny joke at his home at
Hohokus, and he unloaded it on the unsus-
pecting Feeney early in the evening. The
joke was that the committee had met or
was going to meet and would report the
bill favorably. The funniest part of it was
thatFeeney took it seriously and was radi-
ant with joy till undeceived.
The reason this time why the committee
did not meet was, Senator Bogert ex-
planned, that he usually went to bed about
ten O'clock and 1t was after that hour
when the Senate adjourned

March 4-twenty- one days.

way and seemed to labor under the i'm
preston that there was a joke about it
somewhere He denied that that he threat
ened to take Mrs. Wade's life. He was
infatuated with the woman and wanted to
marry her He did the acts she complained
of only for the purpose of frightening her
into marriage with him.
The time he said he was poisoned, he
continued, he had taken q lot of absinthe,
and 'it knocked me over" he said, with
smile.
He was particularly severe on Mr..
Decker, of Marion, because he seemed to
be occupying the place Wallace thought
he ought to have.
The Justice committed Mr.. Wallace and
his fashionable clothes and tan gloves to
the city prison to await trial.

That's What Republican Office Hunters
Don't Want to See.
A number of Republicans in this city
are somewhat exercised in mind over the
recent action of the County Committee in
regard to federal Office seekers. AT the
last meeting two weeks ago, resolution
was offered to appoint Committee on
Patronage The resolution was laid on the
table, and the friends of the Office
hunters are making every effort to keep
it there. The duties of the committee win
be to see that each Office seeker is fully
qualified for the. place he covets, and if
SO, to see that he has the endorsement of
the County Committee.
Mr.. r. B. Seymour said that in his opin-
ion the resolution was all right He thinks
that the County Committee is entitled to
endorse anyone looking for office, for it's
members are well acquainted with
the merits and qualifications of
all who will apply for positions. He does
not believe that man who simply voted
the Republican ticket and has never done
any work in the party, should necessarily
displace Democrat who is well fitted for
his position. He did not say what would
happen with party worker in the same
place.

That is the way the boys speak of the

The boys believe the scheme will go
through. The man is on the ground to
see that it does go through. They also be-
heve that there will be fat pickings for
them.
They will look in the same way upon
the measure which will be introduced
next year to enable Jersey City to borrow
millions to pay over to the Water Swindle-
Gates.
Such a measure will surely come if the
swindlecates are not headed off.

out the fact that the extensive territory
within the limits of Jersey City, contain

only 147 men. This was a proof Of
efficiency.

Stalwart type.
