NEWS OF NORTH HUDSON.

Weehawken Will Consider the Question
of a New SchoolhOuse.
The good people of Weehawken have at
last awakened to the necessity of doing
something in the school matter.
1t is almost needless to go over the same
old ground and rehearse the danger
that threatens the lives of the
pupils who now say their tasks in
the present ricketty ramshackle shanty.
Agitation was started in the town some
two months ago, but for some unknown
reason the matter has been allowed to lie
dormant ever since. Mayor Kelly, how
ever, has called a mass meeting for June
10, at which the citizens will be given an
opportunity to express their opinions.
A site will be selected, the necessary
money appropriated and the work will be
pushed on the new building. The
children may be able to occupy their new
quarters when the term opens in Sep
TENDER.

ONLY TEN FREEHOIDERS.

Road Business Through.

So They Couldn't Rush the New Public
Road Business Through.
A week ago Director Steger instructed
Clerk John Boyd to issue q call for a
special meeting to consider matters re-
lating to the new county road, especially
the issue of bonds and the selection of an
engineer.
It was to have taken place yesterday,
and fourteen members were present about
the Court House II Freeholders' Office
or the corner liquor stores until Director
Steger said the meeting would be held.
When Clerk Boyd counted noses after
the meeting was called to order but ten
could be found, and it requires eleven to
constitute a quorum. Messenger John
Noonan was sent out in search of one
more, hut he reported he could not find
any. The meeting was adjourned one
week.
The four who declined TO stay for the
meeting were F~reeholders Cullen, Turner,
Kenney and Kelly.
Kenny told me that he wanted to know
something about what was expected of
him, and his duties, and that when he
asked the counsel to the Board he could
not obtain the information he wanted
For that reason he proposed to wait until
the regular meeting or the Board.
A gentleman we'll posted on the ways
that are dark and tricks that are vain" of
the Freeholders told me later that the
reason there is so much haste is because
when the route of the new road is laid out
it will boom property and some of the ring
| whoawiu know the route before the pub
lie, viii purchase land cheap and sell at
exorbitant prices caused by the natural
rise in values the boulevard will make.
This gentleman further said that he
had every reason to believe that one or
more Of the principal leaders in the Board
already owned land in a section that the
boulevard must pass through, and it is
this that explains the anxiety and haste
to have the surveys made.

The Ship Was Saved.

Captain" reported the officer, IS
he came up from below, pale with
fear, 1.-THE water is gaining on us; we
we must Tighten the ship" With the
presence of mind that distinguishes
the true hero from the craven in the
hour of peril the captain instantly
called all hands on deck. Men" he
said, and his deep uoice rang out clear
and strong over the wild waste of
waters that threatened to engulf the
stately vessel, throw those things
overboardln The sailors wentto work
with the energy of despair. In less
than an hour they had thrown over
the side of the vessel the private bag
gage of a travelling actress, and three
fashionable canes belonging to a Lon
don dude, and the gallant ship, with
her leak now high above water,
bounded on her course like a thing of
life. Her commander had saved her.

THOSE MARRIED BELLIES.
III BANE or MOTHERS NTH
MARRIAGEABLE DAUGHTERS.


Mrs. Burke-Roche Is One of the Prettiest
of Them-She Is Getting a Divorce
from Her Handsome English Hus-
band.
The married bellies have been the
ball room pests of the poor mammas
with marriageable daughters for a
number of years past in this country,
| just as they always have been in Eng
land. There is no danger of engage
ments, and so the men are not afraid
of them. One of the most charming
OF married bellies is Mrs. Burke-Roch
who is fine looking and receives as
much attention as any woman in New
York. All of her family are hand
some people.
Her father, Frank Work, the well
known horseman and broker, is quite
striking, He is tall and weighs as
much as 200 pounds; his hair is gray
and his eyes bright blue. He drives
almost every day up Fifth avenue and
through the park with Mrs. Roche
seated by his side.
Many of the men think that his son,
George Work, is as good looking a
maj as there is in the city; he also
tips the scale, or would If he made a
trifiing investment in the slot, at two
hundred and more pounds. He I'M
doubtedly does not g c~orsets, but
has as fine a figure as any man in New
York. Riding is his particular forte,
and he was for a long time the best
known gentleman jockey rider. When
anyone alludes to his being a bache-
Ior, people are apt to shake their
heads and say, "Oh; the girls would all
be afraid to marry George; his pace is
too rapid"
His sister was married to Cooper
Hewitt. Both of Frank Works
daughters. Fanny and Lucy, were
very popular in society before their
marriages and used to ride equal to
any Englishwoman. Mrs. Roche is
now thirty years old and has two
children.
Mr.. Burke Roche came from Eng
land a few years ago and passed
a summer in Newport, where he and
Miss Work fell in love. He is fine
looking, with a splendid figure, and
he cut a great dash that summer,
being a fine dancer. The friends of
the family, as is always remarked
afterwards, made great objections to
the match, without avail. It is said
that Frank Work at times has had to
pay his gallant British son-in-law
large sums of money to prevent an
noyance. Mrs. Roche has been with
her father now for a long time, and
has just applied for a divorce, which
it is said will be quietly and expedi-
tiously hurried through.
As she is such a pretty woman there
are plenty of stories in the air about
future matrimonial opportunities that
she is likely to have, and ~conjectures
are offered that she will not again go
so far from home in her choice OF a
husband. Mrs. Burke Roche's photo
graph is ON sale in the leading shops
in New York with those Of other
equally we'll known and attractive
women. Mrs. Roche is at present
staying for a while at Tuxedo, where
she is doubtless, as usual, the life of
the party.

They viii Advance Money for Johnstown
Without Interest.
HARRISBURG, Pa, June IA, 1sS9.-The
81, 600, 600 bond scheme of Governor Beaver
has fallen through entirely, owing to the
constitutional objections to it and because
another way has been found to raise the
necessary sum of money to abate
nuisances created by the flood.
The Governor received assurances in
Philadelphia yesterday that the Peoples
and other banks would advance all the
money needed for the purpose indicated
without interest. The Governor met the
Philadelphia members of the Commission
appointed by him to distribute the funds
for the relief of the flood sufferers, and a
decision was reached to start ON q tour of
inspection on Monday next and ascertain
where help is urgently needed.

From the Trenton Emporium.
Perhaps the editor of the Times will
admit that he does not know wha the
is talking about before we get through
with him on this question, but as the
weather is warm we will just ask him
one question to answer today, and
that is why General Grubb, after
being nominated as one OF the Repub-
lican Presidential Electors, by the
State Republican Convention, was
forced to decline that honor sone
days afterwards, and another na1ne
distinguished Jerseyman?p See that
you get the correct answer before you
blunder again.
And then find out whether a man
who wasn't ~Jerseyman enough to be
a Republican Presidential Elector
could be Governor of New Jersey.

In an International congress of pick

pickpocket the italian has distanced
the legendary Cartouche. As to the
Frenchman, he is eclectic, partaking OF

Among the women, the Italian is as
clever as her male compatriot, and the
arrest of an italian is rare. Germany

This paper Is Democratic In principles

local questions.
Factions and ouarrels.

The Trenton Times is a very foolish.
weak, cheap paper to which nobody
would ever pay the slightest attention
were it not understood to be the per
sonal organ of General Sewell. 1t has
made the amazing discovery that the
Democratic party is torn by factions
and rent by quarrels." That one little
statement is about a fair specimen OF
its general intelligence.
1t is too bad, however, for it to keep
the fun all to itself if it knows of any
such factions or quarrels. Why can't
it come out and give us the facts and
let us all enjoy the circus.
1t might also tell us all it knows
about the Sewell-P Phelps contest; the
williamsburg row; the Pangborn-
Gopsill-D Dickinson embroglio, and a
few of the other bits of by-play that
enliven the Republican stage.
One reason why the Democracy of
this State always wins is that it al
ways presents a united front. The
Republican party always loses because
it resembles nothing so much-as apack
of jackals, wrangling yer a prospec-
tive bone.

The Dictator at Johnstown.

Among all the horrors at YOUNGSTOWN
there is one fact which should compel
admiration. 1t is the illustration
which was there given of the capacity
of the American people for seif-gov-
eminent.
The flood swept all semblance OF
government away. The people who
were left alive were ~stupetied by the
enormous calamity. There was no
head, no one to take charge of the
panic stricken throng and to intelli-
gently direct their efforts to perform
the last sad duties to the dead, to take
measures to assure the future of the
living.
In this emergency, the right man in
the right place modestly made his APP
pearance. How many persons in the
United Jtates ever heard of j. b,
Scott, of Pittsburg. before? Yet he
proved to be the very nan needed for
the work in hand. He was obeyed
implicitly, and although no better
title was found for him than that of
Dictator, he was able to restore the
forms of government and to direct the
efforts of the rescuer until the State
of Pennsylvania, in the person of Adj
jutant-G General Hastings took charge.
This is the true old American spirit
which built up the Union. Such a
showing is a complete answer to those
doubters who fear for the perpetuity
of the nation because of the mutter-
ings of Socialism, and outbreaks such
as that of the Anarchists at Chicago.
Nor all corporations are without
souls. Several Philadelphia banks
have offered to lend the money neces-
sary for the execution of such meas
ures as will remove the danger to
public health from the results of the
great flood. And they will lend it
without interest, too. A bank lending
money without interest! Truly if we
are careful of our new spring suits
they may do to walk out in, on the
first day of the millennium.
THE earnings of the Sugar Trust
are reported to have already nearly
equalIed its capital. 1t is safe to say
that the profits of the newly formed
Hangman's Trust will not be so large.
There is too much outside compe-
tition in the way of lynehing parties

ordered all metal covered ships of the
Navy to be painted white. Is this in
