Shown by the Y. NJ. 9. A. Reports
for the Year at the Annual
Meeting.
The annual meeting of the Young
Mems Christian association was only
fairly we'll attended last night at central
rooms. The first part of the session
was devoted to business reports, etc.,
which showed that the past year had
been very successful one. An espe-
clally promising report came in from the
railroad branch. President c. +. Dyer
addressed the meeting on the past.
present and future work of the
association. Prof. John E. Bradley had
been expected to be present and make
the address, but was detained. The re-
ports showed that about 1,1O0 young
men have attended the lectures during
the past year, and 13,s39 have attended
the religious meetings. Of whom over
200 have received religious cOun-
sci. The total attendance at all
the branches has been $4,000.
No less than So committees have been
at work during the year, on which $50
young men have served The finan-
cial report shows that the receipts up
to May 20 were S9,66l.17; expenses. 3d.

CONTRACTORS WIN.
The Day Labor Men in the Court
House Commission Knocked

Out.
The court house and city hall COM
mission yesterday went into executive
session, and let the contract for the
work OH the sub-basement of the new
court house to B. Aronson for s131, ,529.
The decision ends the long fight be-
tween the day labor and contract labor
advocates on the board in favor of the
latter. The result was attained without
a struggle, as when the board first
voted on the motion to accept
Aronson's bid there were yeas
and 4 nays, less than a major
ity of the board in the affirmative.
The negative were Commissioners
Erickson, Swift, Moreck and ChOwen,
and the affirmative, Messrs. Clough,
Comstock, Johnson, Oswald, Bracket
and Swenson. The deadlock lasted
some time; meanwhile, the contract
labor men, arguing that for the minor
ity to stand out. was simply delaying
the work, as Messrs. Washburn and
De Laittre would surely vote for con-
tract labor. On this account, and in
order to get the foundation started,
Commissioners MOreck and ChOwen
changed their votes to aye, and the bid
was accepted by vote OF to 2.
A large crowd of day labor advocates,
including Martin, the editor of the
Labor Echo, T. H. Lucas. John Griffin
and John McGurk, had gathered in the
anterOOm expecting to see the fun, and
probably put in an oar to help on their
side. They we're considerably disap-
pointed when E. NJ. johnson got through
motion to 60 into executive session,

Wonderful Endurance of q Hero,
Now a Delaware Legislator.
Philadelphia Press
DuFing the year 1854 the schooner
James e. Fisher, OH its way from Phila-
delphia to port in Maine, struck the
rocks near Cape May while dreadful
snow storm was raging. The captain
advised all hands (six in number)
to lash themselves to the rigging,
cords so tightly that the circulation Of
wards found frozen to death. The rest
Oh board consulted among themselves,
and one man, the hero, proposed that he
should jump overheard, hunt for land
and then try to get assistance.
- Acting upon his own advice, he
plunged into the Seething waves, fol-
lowed by the cries of his comrades. lie
swan around for hours searching for
land, till at last he reached the beach.
Unable to see for the binding snow he
walked aimlessly about for ten hours,
and at last came upon the life-saving sta
ton nearly frozen. He related his story,
but few were willing to venture Oh the
sea in such storm. 1t was long
time before they found the vessel, and
when finally the boat, with three Occu-
pants, came in sight of the rapidly sink
ing schooner, the poor fellows OH board
cheered the brave men who had rescued
them. After long and perilous trip
they reached land i'll a pitiable cOndi-
ton. The feet of the hero were frozen
black, his boots had to be cut off, and
he could not stand for months.

A LITTLE DOG TALK.

Better Not MeddIe With Strange
Animals, But Make Friends
First.
A good many people are bitten by
dogs, when very few need be. In the
first place, people should not meddle
with dogs who do not know them.
Every now and then somebody StartleS
a dog by laying a strange hand upon
him, pokes him with stick or pushes
vicious dog" Why not let the dog
alone?
There are people with the bad habit
of meddling with what does not concern
them, and there are children who have
been taught no better than to touch, if
they can, whatever takes their fancy.
These are the people bitten by dogs.
Not once in ten thousand times does a
dog moiest a person who minds his own
business, no matter how Grabbed the
dog may be.
If. however, you are bound to ap-
prOach and touch dog. do it properly.
There is only one way. 1t is this: Put
out your hand easily and confidently to
the dog, SO that he may smell it. Put it
to his nose. If he shifts at it and wags
his tail or otherwise shows friendiiness
then. you may speak to him
and :, pat him ON the head
if you like, and perhaps use other
familiarities: but il, when you offer
your hand, the dOg remains sullen and
passive, the sooner you take away your
hand the better. Never approach a
strange dog with either timidiry or
menace; but, as we have said, the best
way is to let all strange dogs alone, and
get any desired information about them
from4those who have the honor of. their
personal friendship.

A BIG INCREASE.
The Flour Output the Heaviest
Since November.

The Flour Output the Heaviest
Since November.
The Northwestern Miller, in its Issue
of to-day, will say: The gain looked
for in the flour output last week was re-
allied, the figures being the heaviest
since last November. The aggregate
production for the week was 113,70O
bbls-averaging 1880 bbls daily
against 81, ,O7O bbls the week before, and
40, 800 bbls for the corresponding time
in 1888. There is less activity Oh the
platform this week, two more
mills being idle than week ago,
and the daily output about 1900 bbls
lighter. The number in operation
to-day was thirteen. Less orders are
coming in, and the few which had been
accumulated are about exhausted, so
that more frequent shut downs may be
expected until business livens up again.
The falling Off in the demand for flour
has been quite appreciable since about
Friday, as an effect of lower wheat, and
trade at present is very slow, with
prices occupying lower and unsettled
range. What little export business
there was about ten days ago has also
been checked, leaving our millers prac-
tically without any inquiry from that
source. The direct exports of -four for
tile week were 35, 170 barrels, against
$1,000 barrels the preceding week.

STORY OF A RING.
A Married Mans Mysterious MAJ

=
ner of Lending Money to a Girl.
Judge Lochren yesterday evening lis
tened to the evidence in a rather roman
tic case until six o'clock and then gave
a decision for Miss Della Bushway
which entitled her to a diamond ring,
which was the bone of contention and
which Hamilton Broadwell, the de-
fendant in the action, claimed.
BrOadwell is a married man living in
way is also an East slider. They are
both musicians, and played in the same
orchestra. the lady being violinist of
some note among certain class of
musicians. 1t is also hinted that the
young lady has appeared OH the stage,
that is, the stage of the Comique. It
was through their musical qualifica-
tiOnS that they became acquainted. At
different times Broadwell gave the
young woman money varying in
amounts from 50 to $50. This she took
as gift, but he now SWearS that he
lent it to her. The amounts, it appears,
were often needed to take this dia-
mond ring out of pawn, to save
it from being forfeited. The gentle
man brought mysterious account
book into court showing the dates when
the money was lent, but Judge Lochren
thought that the account had strangely
homogeneous appearance for one that
had been kept fol six or eight months
and the dates often far apart, and alsoa
strange heading, as it said, "Amounts
lent OH the diamond ring"
Miss Bushway claimed that the money
he gave was really gift. but that they
had trouble and he made efforts to col
lect it.; then to keep from coming to
court she gave him an order for the ring,
which was at a jewelers., and before he
got it cunningly had the diamond, which
the jeweler swore was worth S125, re-
placed by glass setting. He then OBJ
tanned an order of the sheriff for the
diamond, on learning the deception, and
she brought the replevin action.

A Book Buyer who Was watched.

Chicago News.
The other afternoon very modest
looking gentleman tauntered into Nc
Clurg's bookstore and began looking at
the treasures in the English corner. Mr..
Millard eyed the stranger with suS-
picion. for the reason that not very long
ago mOdost-lOOking gentleman peck
eted several treasures and made off with
them. But MIR. Millard was not long
in discovering that the quiet stranger
knew somewhat of books, for he talked
very intelligentiy of the best editions.
Mr.. Millard began, in fact, to feel sorry
for the man. ''Here," thought he, sis a
gentleman who is bibliomaniac. See
how fondly his fireless eyes gloat
on those extra-illustrated DibdinS! !!
What envious, what hopeless pangs
are now surging in his bo-
som! Poor devil! 1t is my duty to
steer him away from those incompre-
hensible prizes and up against some
books within the compass of his maans.'' y
But the gentleman would not be
steered worth cent. He would inspect
nothing but the cOstliesG treasures. II
am sorry that you have sold the Wash
ington Burns" " said he, ruefully. II
would have taken it, and been only too
glad to get it.
..Our price was $780," suggested Mr..
Millard.
'Cheap enough" said the stranger,
quietly. "And now may ask you to
send those five volumes to me at the
Richelieu hotel? The clerk will:pay the
bill. By the way, what is the whole
amount9''
1.-Two hundred and thirty-five dol
lars" said Mr.. Miilard. impressively.
..Well, send them to the Richelieu at
once" said the stranger, land the clerk
will pay the charges for me-"
A far-away, distrustiul, bilious
look stole into Mr.. Millard's keen eyes.
.What name, pleaseY asked Mr.. Mill
ard, firmly, but courteously.
'GeOrge w. Vanderbilt, of New
York." said the modest stranger, de-
murely.

at 2741 Stevens avenue, and was
held in $500 for examination Monday.
Mr.. Bedbury's statement of the row
that led to the arrest differs materially
from that given by Rinehart. and gives
quite serious turn to the affair. He
says he was playing croQuet on his
lawn with party of ladies and gentle
men when his little girl ran up to him.
exclaiming, "There's man killing a
little boy" He went with her
