IT'S F0RESTERs' DAY.
The Rain Didn't Prevent the Parade,
Though 1t May the Sports.

The Rain Didn't Prevent the Parade,
Though 1t May the Sports.
The rain did not stop the Foresters
parade this morning. 1t looked very much
as though another postponement was in
order. The Foresters were out in force,
however, and made slendid showing of
their strength in Hudson county.
The line was formed at Hamilton Park
at half-past ten in the order already
printed in the columns of The JERSEY
CITY NEWS. All the courts in Hudson
county were strongly represented, and
each was headed by u military band in
full uniform. A platoon of Second pre-
cinct police. under command of Sergeant
McGinnis. led the array.
The brilliant trappings Of the military
bands the badges of the Foresters, and
the sheen of many silken banners made
quite an imposing spectacle as the parade
moved down Jersey avenue from the
park. Some of the courts were uni
formed. Enterprise Conclaye, marshalled
by Secretary John Hart, of the Liquor
Dealers Association, and Charles M.
Hughes, was especially noticeable. Court
Lafayette's purple banner was also con-
spicuous object in the line.
A long open line of coupes, drawing
distinguished members of the order, fol-
lowed the many courts and q coupe
drawn by six of Undertaken Boylan's
white horses, in which sat County Clerk
Denny Mclaughlin, Michael j. O'Don-
nell and Martin T. Flynn, drew enthusi-
astic plaudits from the thousands of
spectators that lined the curbstone and
fringed the stoops of the many pretty
residences along that handsome thor

who has been sued by a client to recover
5000 entrusted to him and his former part
ner, William j. Kearns, to pay judg-
ment, was seen last evening at his home,
No. 106 Fifth street, Harrison. He said
that he had not been away; that he at
tended church on Sunday, and yesterday
was at his Office in the morning and in the
afternoon went to Orange, expecting to
receive some money, but was disappointed.
He says that he is embarrassed.
''Since the death of my wife, to whom ]
had been married only few months" he
said, ~ have hardly been myself, and
many things / shoald have done have
omitted. | can pull through this matter,
but l am not capable of doing anything
today"
Mr.. Farrell, when he purchased the
Kearney Record, paid 81, 100 cash for it.
The Record is to be published as usual
under the care of Manager Dolan.
Mr.. Kearns says that when the partner
ship between Mr.. Farrell and himself was
dissolved, negotiations were pending for
the cancellation of McCue's Judgment,
the firm having been advised to cancel it
for as small sum as possible. After the
dissolution Mr.. Farrell had the matter in
charge.

PRISON KEYS BROKEN,

And Locksmith Wouldn't Trust the
County for Making Two New Ones.
Underkeeper Tierney yesterday, as was
his custom, locked the prisoners in their
cells after dinner At one O'Clock he
went to the corridor to let them out to go
to work. The first lock he placed the key
in broke the key and as this one unlocked
all the cells on this corridor and there
was no duplicate, the prisoners were
doubly imprisoned. Until a key could be
made they could not be released.
County Superintendent Cannon was at
the penitentiary at the time and he said
he would order two keys to be made at
once. He went to a locksmith on Newark
avenue and gave the order.
"Are these keys for you or for the Free
holders. Mr.. Gannon?" the locksmith in
quired.
"The county, of course" was the reply
"WeIl, then, can't make them"
"Why notW
because will never be paid for my
work" said the locksmith.
The County Superintendent said that
he would be personally responsible for
the bill and the keys were made and last
night reached Snake Hill. The county
credit is not very high in the opinion Of
that loccksmith.

BELLIGERENT SPAIN.
All the Hopes of the Rising Generation
Centre In Africa.
BIZ Cable to the United Press.

By Gable to the United Press
MADRID, Sept. 25, 1889.-There has been
no such excitement in Spain as at present
since the furry with Germany concern
ing the Caroline Islands Bankrupt and
i'll prepared as the nation is there is nc
doubt of its being ready to fight upon the
slightest provocation.
That the national honor is wounded is 8
sufficient watchword, although the
national susceptibility does not appear to
creditors. If the row with Morocco ends
with second occupation of Tetuan. 1t is
safe to say that no ransom will buy it
back again from Spanish hands.
Both race and religious hatred and
prejudice are revived, and the short
sighted policy of former government in
abandoning an outpost so superior to
as depot and advanced post for future
operations, is bitterly regretted.
The jealousies of other European
powers must now be contended with, and
the antagonism which France encoun-
tered in obtaining its present foot
hold at Tunis, and that which
Italy experiences in attempting to
may convince the Spanish what opposi-
tion they will arouse.
The Liberal organs are Unexpectedly
belligerent in tone, though many ad-
vanced republicans have never concealed
their opinion that change of govern
ment is only likely to come through
storm and stress, as did the French re-
public.
The articles in Ell Pdso are naturally
attributed to its editor, Ruiz Gorilla, but
several of the most vehement reiterate the
expressive sentiments of Prof. Accurate
and the eloquent nnRncier, Senior Pedre-
gal.
The hope of young Spain is for move
Inent of any kind A corrupt junta of
politicians and army officers obstructs
progress, embezzles the revenues and
drives the ambitious of the rising genera
ton into voluntary exile.
The proportions Of the emigration to
South America during the last year
government Is at loss what to do to stop
the continued exodus. The flower of the
Spanish youth, the most eligible subjects
for CONSUMPTION, form the majority of the
emigrants, and prohibitiue laws do not
promise much relief.i
Senior Pi y Mangal pertinently says that
Spanish emigrant to foreign country
is lost to nationality forever. IL he
goes TO Cuba it is worse still, for there he
becomes an enemy of the home govern
ment.
But colony across the straits, in a
country needing nothing but labor to
render it one of the richest
upon earth, and in daily commune
cation with the mother country, would
furnish an unobjectionable outlet for the
restless and impetuous, would swell the
tide of civilization in Africa and prove a
source Of wealth and strength to Spain.

GREENVILLE CITIZENS.
They Meet to Discuss the Needs Of
Their District.

About twenty-five members of the
Greenville Citizens Association were
present at Metropolitan Hall, Greenville,
last night when President Simpson called
the meeting to order at five minutes after
nine o'clock.
Mr.. Lembeck, of the Ocean Avenue I'M
proyement Committee, reported that he
had talked with Mr.. Thurston, of the
Jersey City and Bergen Railroad Com
pany in regard TO the repaving of the ave-
nue. between the company's tracks, and
that Mr.. Thurston thought favorably of
the proposition. Mr. Lembeck favored
the reassessment of owners for new
pavement on Ocean avenue until q new
sewer had been built.
Mr.. Simpson said that he objected to
paying for repairing the Ocean avenue
pavement until block pavement had been
substituted for the present mud road"
Alr. Lembeck replied that the property
owners could not be assessed again un-
less for repaving. On motion of Mr.. Oil
yer the report of the committee was ac-
cepted and the committee continued.
The Sarsfield Avenue Sewer Committee
reported that nothing had as yet been
done on the new sewer. 1t was stated by
the committee appointed to attend to the
tion Counsel Edwards had reported that
the new sewer could go into the creek.
Mr.. Haynes moved that strong COM
nlittee be appointed to visit the Street and
Water Board and explain to them the
necessity of Immediately building the
new sewer.
Work has been stopped on the Bergen
avenue improvements, was the report of
the committee on those improve
ments. 1t was reported that the cause
was the refusal of property owners, who
had not yet received the award for dam
ages, to move their fences.
On motion of Mr.. Haynes, President
Simpson added Mr.. Lembeck, Mr. Small
sey, Mr.. Morrell and Mr.. Vreeland to the
Woodlawn Avenue Sewer Committee. In
regard to the petition for the Woodlawn
avenue sewer, Mr.. Oliver said that the
petition was for the sewer to enter the
bay, and that it was, therefore, necessary
to draft new petition If they wished it
to enter the creek.
DR.. Finn spoke of the sewerage Of the
public school on Danforth avenue.
He said that the lives of 600 children
were in danger because of the lack of
proper drainage.
"A year ago." said the doctor, ''this
school was closed for nearly month be-
cause of diphtheria.
Mr.. Lembeck said that the big hole on
Pamrapo and Bergen avenues was a
menance to passers by and a disgrace to
the city. A new member, Samuel Ras,
was elected and placed on the Woodlawn
Avenue Sewer Committee. The meeting
then adjourned

THE FURNITURE Is EMMA's.
James Hasketh Paid the Money, but the
Receipt Was the Woman's.


The lines of James Hasketh and Emma
Commerce have not fallen in pleasant
places.
Fifteen years ago Emma was the happy
wife of Charles Commerce and lived with
him in Jersey City.
She had some trouble with her husband
and claims to have obtained divorce
from him.
One of the principal reasons for this
divorce was James Hasketh, a handsome
young merchant who won her affections
away from her husband.
Hasketh appeared to be in love with
Emma himself, and after short time
they agreed to live together.
NO marriage ceremony was performedi
The life of the couple was not as happy as
they expected. They were continually
beneath his manhood to beat Emma
soundly when she disagreed with him.
Several children were born, but this
did not seem to change Hasketh's surly
disposition or make Emma's lot any
easier.
Hasketh was earning good wages and
furnished his home at No. 40 Montgom-
cry street in handsome style
Emma ordered the furniture from Han
ley, and, although Haskeths money paid
for it, the receipt was made out in her
name.
Two months ago Hasketh rose one
morning and without giving her any ex-
house.
He did not return for weeks, but in the
| meantime paid the rent for the rooms.
Finding herself deserted Emma moved
further up town and took the furniture
with her. Her affection for Hasketh
seemed to have died out entirely, and
when Dennis Birdtwiskel began to be at
tantiVQ TO her qha liStana6 tO him very
kindly.
He told his love, and they agreed to
shake the dust of Jersey City off their
feet. They moved to Newark, and the
furniture went with them. Hasketh
heard of their fight, and while he cared
most decidedly for the furniture.
He made enquiries, and with the help
of Constable Dillaway managed to find
the couple at No 1874 Common street,
Newark
Emma had resumed the name of the
husband from whom she had been di-
vorced. Commerce and Birdtwiskel
boarded with her. Constable Dillaway
arrested the couple on a warrant issued
by Justice Lowy, and brought them and
the furniture to this city.
Justice Lowy heard the case this morn
Ing. Counsellor Manning appeared for
Hasketh and Counsellor Puster looked
OoV AO4 VIC AAEA1tS Ol IlAlD1tt anu OlA0-
twiskel.
Hasketh turned up in glorious state of
intoxication and seemed to have nothing
else to do but call Birdtwiskel pet names.
When put on the stand he acknowl-
edged that he had never been married to
Emma and said he did not care cent
what became of her. Then he abused
Birdtwiskel some more
The defence simply produced the re-
ceipt from Furniture Dealer Hanley to
Emma for the money paid for the furni-
ture, and rested.
Justice Lowy took the ground that as
the receipt had been made in her name
she was entitled to the furniture, and so
dismissed the case
The furniture is now in the hands of
Constable Dillaway, but will be turned
over. to Emma today.
Hasketh is mad enough to fight, and
VOWS that he will appeal the case and
never rest until he gets justice.

Lobby.

Lobby.
A packed lobby was feature of last
nights meeting of the Board of Alder
men. 1t had been given out that the
Aldermanic Committee on Election
would make its report, and as the alleged
Jeffersonians had demanded recognition
in the matter of appointments of judges
and clerks of election o lively little skir-
mish was anticipated. 1t was a disap-
pointed lobby.
A communication from DIR. Leonard j.
Gordon and Mr.. Joseph A. Dear, of the
Citizens Committee appointed to investi-
gate the Bartlett water supply proposal,
was first read, asking the Aldermen to

were applied for and granted.
Another ordinance for the relief OF
Joseph Crawford, who is erecting bay
window on his property at the corner Of
Jersey avenue and Sixth street, which
extends too far out upon the sidewalk,
was also passed, but not before q little
tilt between Aldermen O'Rourke and
O'Neill had taken place. Mr.. O'Rourke
saw no occasion to pass the ordinance, as
the window was already nearly COM
pleted Mr. O'Neill informed him that
he knew nothing of the matter at the be-
ginning. If Mr.. O'Rourke knew about
It, he ought to have called his attention
to it. He had no time to hunt such mat
ters up.
The Board decided to meet today at noon
to view the parade of the American
Order of Foresters from the City Hall
steps.
Mr. O'Nein introduced resolution pro-
viding for meeting to be held in the
Aldermanic chambers on the evening Of
Thursday, September 26, for the purpose

A Night Sea Signal Displayed Or the
Red Star Pier.
John W. Hayward, of st. Johns, N. f.,
the patentee OF an invention for signaling
at sea by night, which he calls the luci-
graph, exhibited his system last evening
on the Red Star pier, this city. 1t does
not differ greatly from stereopti-
con. The signal is thrown upon a
screen, and may be seen, when conditions
are favorable, at distance of three
fourths of mile. Last evening Captain
Shackford, superintendent of the Red
Star pier, and Captain Weyer, of the
acknowledgement, crossed the river while
the exhibition was going on. The brill
liant lights on the shore prevented fair
test, but they were able to read the sig
mails half way across the river with the
naked eye. and to read them easily with
q glass from the New York side.
AaMr. Hayward spelled out ship ahoyl
