The Board of Aldermen made a
culpable mistake last night in reap
pointing James 1876 Clarke to the
position of Inspector of Buildings, for
which he draws a salary without
honestly performing its duties.
The single fact that he spent all his
time at Trenton during the recent SEES
sion lobbying for execrable corpora
ton bills should have been sufficient
to secure his defeat. The position he
stands in is exactly that of JIM
Smith, who swore that while he
worked for a salary for the Board OF
Works here he cheated Uncle Sam
out of another salary in New York.
If James 1876 Clarke was earning his
pay at Trenton in the post of Speakers
Clerk, which he ostensibly held, he
must certainly have shirked his work
down here for which he also drew his
salary.
This is a scandalous state OF things.
But, in truth, matters were little or no
worse during the session than at any
other time. 1t is notorious that the al
legged Inspector of Buildings is hardly
ever to be found in his office,
and of late a kick of the most forci-
BILE kind has been developing
among builders, real estate men, and
others who have attempted to trans
act department business with him
during the past year.
He ought not to have come up for
reappointment until next month, and
had the Aldermen waited until then
they would have been confronted with
an opposition which would have COM
PEELED them to select some fit and
proper person for the office.
But Clarke was well aware of the
danger. He determined to steal a
march on his critics. He set all his
wire pulling agencies to work, and the
result was the discreditable event of
last night.
The Aldermen owe it to themselves
to inquire into the whole matter and
fire this man out before they are COM
PEELED to do so by enraged taxpayers.
HERES a pretty mess; here's a

The c~leverest soubrette on the Lon
don stage had a magnificent black cat,
the admiration of all who saw that
enemy of the Evil One" One night
an ungallant lord, a neighbor, cruelty
shot the cat, and a few days afterward
she received the stuffed skin of her
pet. Miss Soubrette Immediately col
iected all the mice she could secure
about two hundred-and had them
carefully boxed to the address of his
lordship's wife in the country. When
the box arrived at its destination her
ladyship opened it herself, expecting it
to contain some of the latest fashions.
AS she raised the lid the mice jumped
out and literally filed the house. OF
course there was CONSERVATION. At
the bottom of the box was a note
which read:-"Madam, your husband
killed my cat, | send you our mice"

An Extra Victory.

Inc Ol buo puDIlo ChoO
in THE JERSEY CITY News, and in
THE JERSEY CRY NEWS alone, they
can always find the big events of the
city's progress fully and adequately
reported, was aptly illustrated yester-
day,
The day was a remarkable one.
Two great legal struggles were in pro-
gress for the advancement of reform
in the municipal government. The
citizens were profoundly interested in
them. Newspaper readers craved for
minute details of what was said and
done.
Where did they look for them2
In the JERSEY CRY NEWS, the one
paper in which they knew the public
interest in passing events would be ac-
}~curately guaged, and the events them
selves photographed with all their de-
tails of light and shade.
We feel a pride in announcing the
success which admirable reports
of the charter reference and the Big
Four trial met with.
The sales of THE JERSEY CITr
NEWS yesterday, including the late
extra were seven hundred and nine
copies ahead of the sales of the pre-
ceding day, and were about eight
hundred in excess of our average for
the past three weeks.
This is a mark Of confidence which
we appreciate.
The people wanted to be SURF of
getting the news.
They came to us.
Were they disappointed?
Hardly. Borrow a copy of last
nights extractor it is scarcely pos
sible to buy it-and see if a finer re-
port of a legal proceeding was yer
presented to any circle of readers than
those which we printed both or the
Charter and the Big Four hearings in
our textra" edition.
Compare them with the sectional
reports of our only competitor.
If you want the full news tonight,
look out for our extra" again. 1t will
be a marvel of afternoon journalism.
TO-DAY the Jersey City nine will
beat the Newark nine-or, at least, we
hope and believe so-and the Gladia-

as well as Officially, in the race for

viii kick at the umpire, and the
crowd will guy Jim Fields. 1t is a
glorious day, and the grounds will be
crowded.

BAD FOR COUGHLIN.
Two of DIR. CrOnin's Knives Found on the
Ex-Detective When Arrested.

Two of DIR. Cronin's Knives Found on the
Ex-Detective When Arrested.
To complete the chain Of evidence against
Daniel Coughlin for the murder of DR.. Gro
min. the State produced the Doctors pocket
knives in court. They were taken from
Coughlin on the night of his arrest. When
suspicion first pointed toward Coughlin,
and he was arrested, Detective Barney
Flynn searched Coughlin as all other pris-
oners are searched, and found among other
things two pocket knives. one containing
two blades and the other four. Flynn made
no report of the find, but put them in box
at headquarters. On. Sept. 16 Flynn was
transferred from the Central Station. and he
placed the knives and Coughlin's revolver in
the deposit vault of the Fidelity bank. 1t
never occurred to him that the knives be-
longed to any other person but Coughlin,
and he paid no attention to the matter. On
Thanksgiving night Officer Flynn acquaint-
ed Captain Schuettler with the fact that he
took two pocket-knives from Coughlin's
person when he searched him. The knives
were shown T. L. Conklin and he identified
them as DIR. Cronin's. One of the knives
Mr.. Conklin carried himself for two years
and he then presented it to DR.. Cronin. The
other knife was also given to the Doctor by
Mr.. Conklin.

BEER FLOWING IN THE STREETS.

An Explosion of Ammonia in a Newark
Brewery Causes $4,000 Loss.
At Newark, n. j.. an explosion occurred
at Trefz's brewery while the men were at
dinner, and an instant afterward a great
food Of beer gushed through the rear win
dows of the building and ran in streams
across the street to the houses below.
Then the air in the whole vicinity be-
came impregnated with ammonia. What
caused the accident is not known, but it is
thought that one of the ammonia pipes
forming a part of the ice machine burst.
The building in which the accident oc-
CURED was built substantially Of brick,
and was three stories high. It contained
score or more of the great watts filed with
thousands of gallons of beer. The brewery
was bought about six months ago by the
English syndicate for 100000. The walls
are now standing. but there is danger of
their falling. The loss is estimated at

BUSINESS FOR THE WEEK GOOD.
Probable Effect of the Two Heavy Fires
General Reports Most Encouraging.

Probable Effect of the Two Heavy Fires
General Reports Most Encouraging.
r. G. Dun & Co. S weekly review Of trade
says:
Two heavy fires, with aggregate losses esti-
mated at $l5, 100000 or more may have an infiu-
ence upon several branches of trade which can
not yet be estimated. Heavy concurrent losses
may shake some insurance companies and af-
feet the finances of firms burned out But the
general prosperity and the large accumulation
OF available capital will probably render the in
Huence OF these disasters comparative ly narrow
and brief. In other respects the situation is
quite as encouraging it has been for some
weeks past. The volume of business is unsur-
passed and the pressure in money markets
though not ended here, has seemed to be abated
elsewhere. The reports are, without exception.
favorable on the whole. Western cities without
exception find trade good, though grain is NOV
ing slowly at Milwaukee, and mild weather
aHects sales OF winter clothing. Money is fairly
acdVe, but nowhere stringent at Western points
reporting, and the accounts regarding collec-
lions are better than usual Speculative
markets have not been active Wheat has
declined nearly q cent and corn about one-half
cent. Cotton is unchanged. Coffee has not
moved, but oil has dropped nearly 4 cents
Pork products are a little lower and sugar is
stronger IN tone. Rubber has advanced little.
A great boom in iron abroad with q specula-
tive excitement rarely witnessed and rapid
fluctuations in prices, causes some apprehen-
sion, and yet prices firm in Philadelph ia

in the Cronin Case

Seeking to Overthrow the States Evidence
i'm the CrOnin Case.
In the Cronin murder case, at Chic ago,
argument was suspended to allow the de-
tense to introduce testimony in rebuttal of
that given by the State in regard to the
two knives taken from ex-Detective Cough
lin when he was arrested. August Loewen-
stein testified that last April he sold D an
Coughlin a pair of trousers andsaw Cough
lin remove two knives resembling the ones
claimed to be DR.. Cronin's from the old to
the new trousers. Jake" Loewenstein,
discharged detective and ex-pal of Cough
lin. swore that he often saw Coughlin with
those knives last year. Against this testi-
mony is the sworn statement of T. T,
Conklin, who said he gave DR.. Cronin the
knives found in Dan Coughlin's pockets
last May.
