Poor Nelly's Progeny.
By Gable to the United Press
LONDON, May 20; 1889. - The British
caterers to the inner man who have Sc
cured privileges at the Paris Exposition
are stricken with dismay at the unlocked
for opposition of the Prefect of Police of
that city to the employment OF
female attendants at the cafes, bars
and bTdsseries there. The British bar
maid has long been a standard attraction
at the s'publics" of her native land anu
an object of alteration to the British swell
of loud tendencies, and this class OF visit
ors will feel sadly chagrined that there
may be no opportunity to contrast
the charms OF the naughty native
dispenser of bitter beer or sherry with
those of the Hebes of other countries. 1t
is understood, however, that the move
ment is not due to the Projects being
afflicted with q sudden spasm of morality,
which might arouse grave doubts as 10
his sanity, but to the representations OF
the powerful Male Walters Union
Mr.. Bradlaugh and his supporters
might have spared themselves the trouble
of contesting the Government measure OF
committing the pensions of the descen-
dants of the mistresses of Charles ii. The
British public is not to be shocked at
this late day and the government
cannot be blamed for wishing TO buy for
ever the annual remainder Of the Merry
Monarch's follies. By purchasing for q
lump sum the annuities enjoyed by the
Richmonds and Graftons the matter is
settled once for all, and the heirs Of the
titled demireps have reason to be satisfied
with the liberal terms accorded them.
The Comte de Paris has laid before the
London police authorities letters from
confidential friends in France to
the effect that police agents have already
been detailed in Paris to attend the
meeting of the Orleanists at Sheen
House on the last of May, the occasion
being the celebration of the silver we'd
ding of the Count and Countess of Paris.
Friends of the republic here regret that it
deems it necessary to employ such means
of obtaining information as to the private
movements of the royalists and think it
would be a welcome sign of strength to
ignore them altogether.
The announcement of perfect recon
Citation between the Comte de Paris on
the one hand and the Due de Nemours
and d. 'Aumale and Prince de Joinville on
the other is received in political circles
with some ineredulity. The latter three
have never forgiven the pretender to the
throne for rejecting their advice to decline
all communication with General Boulan-
ger, and they share the universal belief
that 1t needs purse as well filled as that
Of the Comte de Paris to sustain the
General in his palatial apartments in
London.
NJ. Henri Rochefort was arraigned this
morning at the Vine Street Police Court,
charged with assaulting the artist, NJ.
Pilofel, yesterday on Regent street. 1t
was proved that NJ Rochefort had pointed
a revolver at NJ. Pilotel, and threatened
TO shoot him. The magistrate bound NJ.
Rochefort in the sum of ESQ to keep the
peace for six months.

AN INJUNCTION GRANTED.
The Raritan r.. r. Co. VIII Have TO Go

The Raritan Il. r. Co. VIII Have Co Go
OF of MIR. Furman's Land.
The case of Noah Furman against the
Raritan River Railroad Company was
before Chancellor McGill in the Court of
Chancery this morning. The Raritan
River Railroad Company is the corporation
which started one midnight not long ago.
to Law a tack across Mr.. Furman's prop
erty at Sayreville, N, J. Mr.. Furman OPP
posed their action with force of his en-
ployees and during the fight which ensued
George Kissinger, one OF Mr.. Furman' 8
men, was killed.
The proceedings this morning were on
an application of John S. Voorhees,, of
New Brunswick, in behalf of Mr.. Fur
man for prohibitory injunction restrain
ing the railroad company from building
the track and mandatory injunction
compelling the company to forthwith re-
move their tracks and property now on
Mr.. Furman's property
Mr.. Voorhees, was heard on the motion
last Monday and in reply this morning
Mr.. Wallis, of Wallis & Edwards, for the
railroad company. said that the company
had no desire to trespass upon Mr.. Fur
mans property until they had obtained
permission. They also stood ready to re-
move their property now on the ground.
The whole trouble in this matter, he de-
clared, was caused by the action of COM
plainant, and his bookkeeper, Cathcart,
who came upon the company's employe
with a force of 100 armed and intoxicated
men and DESTROYED a quantity of railroad
ties and other valuable property.
The company, he said, greatly depre-
Gated the unfortunate circumstances OF
Kissenger's death, which he character
ized as the result of a misunderstanding
Mr.. Wallis then denied the jurisdiction
of the Court in the premises and gave his
reasons Then continuing he said il the
Court thought otherwise the company
would not oppose an injunction so long
as it did not prevent them from taking
condemnatory proceedings.
In deciding the matter the Court said
that the action of the railroad company in
rushing the tracks through at night
showed that they had some ulterior OBJ
ject in view, and he had decided to re-
strain them from further action.
He then granted the injunction
prohibiting them from building their
tracks acrosa Mr.. Furman's land, and
made an order allowing the railroad com
pany three days in which to remove their
nroDertv now on the land

NO MORE ADVISORY MASTERS.
Vice Chanoe1Iors Are Soon to Take Their
Places In the Chancery Courts.

Vice ChancelIors Are Soon to Take Their
Places in the Chancery Courts.
There was considerable gossip about the
Court of Chancery this morning to the
effect that the Advisory Masters would
soon be done away and the places sup
piled by Vice Chanceilors.
The act providing for the appointment
of the Advisory Masters was passed at
the instance of Theodore Runyon when
he was Chancellor, and was for the pur-
pose of relieving the Court of Chancery
from the immense volume of business
which had accumulated on its hands.
The innovation was never popular with
the lawyers, and there has always been
more or less dissatisfaction either ex-
pressed or implied over the measure. They
thought that lawyer who was in active
practice could not make an impartial
Judge.
For this and other reasons Chancellor
McGill suggested the enactment of the
law of last winter, which provides for the
appointment of two newViee Chancellors.
/ 1t was thought that this would not only
do away with the Advisory Master, but
would expedite the business of the court,
as the Vice Chancellor will hold court
continuously. 1t was said this morning
that the Advisory Masters were winding
up the business they now have on hand as
rapidly as possible, to make ready for the
change. .rF.

Preparing for Another Great Sale in the
Weldon Building Next Week.
Emmons & Cronan, the real estate deal
ers at No. SO Montgomery street. have
sent out maps of the many parcels of land
which they propose to sell in the Wei
don building on May 20. The
pamphlet embraces twenty-one diagrams,
showing every lot of property to be sold,
its size and surroundings. On the page
opposite the map is a text description of
the property. The maps make it unneces-
sary for those who contemplate purchas-
ing to make personal inspection of each
parcel of land before the day of the sale.
The idea of their joint sale of property
originated with Emmons & Cronan, and
their first sale, in February, of the Nc
Laughlin estate, was the real estate SEN
satiOn of the season. Number one prices
were secured, and every plot was sold to a
bona fide purchaser.
The sale of Wednesday of next week
promises to produce equally satisfactory
results, and the anticipation is that 1t
will attract to the salesroom the most
conspicuous property owners in the city.

the distribution of fourth class post
offices First Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral Clarkson states that he does not
propose to recognize one faction in the
various States to the disadvantage of the
other. He says he does not believe in
encouraging factional fights within the

proposes to deal out the fourth class post
masterships to Republicans without re-
gard to their local differences. In speak
ing on the subject today he said that so
far as he has been informed the admins
tration has set down no fixed policy with
regard to the patronage in the Southern
States, and the claims made by certain
factions that they are to control all ap-
pointments made in their respective
States are without authority.

They used to live in New York, but
Mrs Helfner found her husbands con-

live in Hoboken with their relatives. At

SHE LOOKED LIKE MRS. POTTER.
But She Had a Black Eye From Fight
with Her Mother-in-Law.


When Justice Stilsing called Sarah
Kane to the bar this morning small
woman stepped out of the pen, whose
face bore a striking resemblance to the
well known Mrs. James Brown Potter.
Her beautiful hair, however, was in a
disheveled state, and an ugly black eye
disfigured her otherwise beautiful face.
She wore tattered gown, and cheap
faded gown was thrown over her
shoulders.
She came to the Gregory Police Station
last evening and said that her husband
would not let her into the house. A
policeman went with her to her home and
he said that as soon as she got there she
and her mother-in-law began to fight.
The policeman then took Mrs. Kane to
the station and she was locked up.
Her husband, Edward Kane, swore that
she was a steady drinker and yesterday
while drunk she got into fight with his
mother, during which, he thought, she
got the black eye. He denied that he beat
her at all yesterday, but admitted that he
sometimes struck her. The Justice or
dered him into custody on this admission,
and both were held for further examine
ton.

The rapidity with which the Street
Commissioners are cleaning portions
of the Hill has attracted the attention
of the residents there. One gentleman
writes to us to say that the street men
cleaned the entire block on Bergen
avenue, between Emory street and
Belmont avenue, in twenty minutes,
and, what is more remarkable, You
could detect no difference in the con-
dition of the street after they had
finished one informant writes.
1t is claimed, too, that Plymouth
street, between Washington and War
rem streets, has not been cleaned in
three years. Messrs. E. A. Williams s.
Son have frequently called the atten-
tion of the Street Commissioners to its
condition, but without avail.
