would do as they pleased, without refer
ence to the views of the association.
After a long discussion a motion was
adopted to continue the committee and to
add to it James Gordon and Richard
Lahey. But the members continued to
advance their ideas.
Mr.. Banks thought, that in order to in
sure success, it might be better to let the
Aldesmen arrange the number of inspect
ors, and to fix the salaries, and then there
could be no doubt of their passing the
new ordinance.
Finally it was decided to appoint COM
mittee to wait upon each alderman indi-
yidually. and ascertain his views on the
subject, and to report the result at the
meeting Of the association to be held the
first Monday in December.

A Point Against the Petty Jury.

Owing to a law passed last winter the
petit jury for the December term of
court should have been drawn November
70, instead of November 5. This law pro-
vides that the jury shall be drawn on the
second Tuesday in the month, instead of
as heretofore, on the first Tuesday.
Judge Lippincott, in making this an
nouncement, said the Court had not been
informed of the change in the law and
that Judge Knapp would direct the
Sheriff to summon new panel at an
early date, for the one drawn was an IL
legal one.

They Nust Repeat ..Cinderella. J,

The remarkable success attending the
recent production of the Operetta Gin
derella,' y under the auspices of st. Johns
Lutheran Church, and the inability of
over two hundred persons to obtain en-

The success is a deserved tribute to the
pastor, who arranged the piece, and
drilled the young actors as we'll as trl-

ROBBED HIS SISTER.
The Wife of Missing Bayonne Contrac-

The Wife of a Missing Bayonne Contrac-
tor the Victim.
Mrs. Rose James, the wife of Frank
James, the Bayonne contractor, who de-
parted for other parts last week with two
thousand dollars which had just been
paid him on his contract, has met with
another misfortune in the loss Of her
brother, Owen Hagen, who has skipped. I"
OWENS departure would not be so serious
ly felt by his sister if he had not taken
with him four hundred and thirty dollars
which she had laid away, and of which
she now stands sorely in need The
money was in the pocket of her dress,
Mrs. James says, and she missed it yes
terday morning. Investigation then dis
closed the fact that her brother was gone,
and, as if to set all doubts at rest as to
the identity of the thief, had left o note
behind him saying that she had not
taken it ALL" Mrs. James, however, says
that the money was all she had. As
Hagen was employed as a bricklayer in
the Avenue G sewer, he probably referred
to the fact that he had not taken all that
was due him from James for his labor.

4 NORTH HUDSON FIRE.
Several Lives Were Threatened by Wig
orous Blaze.


A fire that might have cost many lives,
broke out last evening in the bakery of
Charles Schmidt on the corner of Union
street and Bergenline avenue, Union
Hill
The fire started in the bake honse. A
number of the servants. and Charles, the
eldest son of Mr. Schmidt, slept above the
bake house, and retired at an early hour.
Shortly after ten O'Clock Charles was
awaked by the bowling of his favorite
hound, who was in the habit of sleeping
outside his masters door. He jumped
out of bed to see what was the matter,
and was nearly suffocated by the thick
cloud of smoke that arose from the pas
sageway.
Charles gave the alarm, and the Fire
Department responded promptly.
In his efforts to save his property
young Charles burned his hands and face
badly After an hour of hard work the
fire was extinguished.
The damage will amount to over 81, ,000
part of which is covered by the insurance.
The horses belonging to Undertaken
Gschwind, whose establishments is but
two doors from the bakery, became al
most unmanageable and had to be re-
moved to place of safety.
Had the fire broken out an hour or two
later than it did, the building would have
been entirely destroyed, and probably
several lives would have been lost.
The hound, whose barking awoke
Young Schmull, was found after the fire
in the hallway, dead. 1t had been suffo-
Gated by the smoke.

the snake, and as there is but little knOwl-
edge on the subject dillused outside OF

Il little happerslance that occurred in this
vicinity Old man Toole, who lives Il
short way out Of town, arose bright and
early one morning last June to come to
mill. it was yet dark, and in leading
out his horses one Of them stepped upon
hen that was lowering brood of thir
teen chickens. The hen was killed but
the young clicks struck through the fence
into The tall grass and were saved.
Toole came to town, leaving the dead
hen where she was. Upon his return he
noticed the wing and tail feathers were
all pulled out of the hen, but he supposed
some Of the folks had done il. Upon III
quiry he found that none Of the family
had seen any Of the chicks, nor were they
stcn for several days, until he chaDced to
90 Il WIN to the pasture, where he was sur
prised to see two or three Of the chick,
picking in fence corner. Upon catch
ing sight Of him they ran "peeping' ID
something that looked like buach OF
Gathers, and ducking their heads, dived
under and disappeared. Immediately he
heard an angry Kissing and saw Il large
black snakes head rise up with lorked
tongue darting out and cleaning eyes
He hit the snake on the side Of the head
which wounded, but did not kill it. The
snake made fierce fight, while the chick.
ems, which were all there, scattered III
every direction. lie finally killed the
snake and the mystery Of the pluckcd
hen was cleared up. The snake had pull.
ell out the feathers aud by some means
had stuck them through the skin, along
each side of his own back, 81 that they
looked like wings. aud the tail feathers he
had stuck in a bunch like below. He
had evidently adopted the chickens, and
realizing that he could not properly hover
them, had hit upon that plan, and it
worked admirably; hut Mr.. Toolc says
the snake looked terrible in the fight with
wings flying. lie SAYS he never saw any
thing like it but once, and that time a
snake similar to this one came crawling
out of his bootleg. 1t was while he was
keeping a saloon in ST. Louis Mr.. Toolc
is considered a truthful man Topeka
