some jewelry which they we're peddling.
When taken to the Police Station they
gave their names as George Grogan OF

James Murray of Sacramento. All three
were locked up for the night in the City
Jail, and at noon yesterday they were
paraded before the noon watch before it
went out. The three suspects were then
given to understand that their presence
in Los Angeles was undesirable just at
present, and they were discharged and
have not been seen since.

A Drunken Drivers Escapade.


About half past twelve O'Clock last
night Mike Ryan, hack driver in the
employ of the City Cab Company, and
wearing badge No. 1913, was arrested on
Alameda street by Officer Stephenson
for being drunk and disorderly. While
the policeman was engaged in telephon-
ing for the patrol wagon, his prisoner
broke away and ran down the street to
where his hack and team stood. He
then drove along the sidewalk down
Also street, until his team got entangled
in the harness, and one of the horses
turned completely round, when he
abandoned them. Officer Sanchez
who rode down on the patrol
wagon, on hearing of Ryan's
escape from his brother officer, at once
extricated the team from the broken
harness, and proceeded to bring them
up to the station, when he was met by
Ryan on Alameda street. The hack
driver attempted to take the team away
from Sanchez, but after sharp tussle
the officer succeeded in placing the iel-
low under arrest. He was put into the
wagon, and, with the harness and
cushions of the hack, was taken up to
the City Prison, the vehicle being left in
charge of Officer Stephenson. Ryan W. q
locked up for the night. aud will appear

How Many Residents of the City Will

The managers of the Children's Home
on Glenwood avenue are sending out
strong appeals to the charitable for aid
for the home. This circular mailed today
to a thousand of the best known gentle
men in the city speaks for ITSELF
The Children's Home is in acute financial
trouble.
1t needs $4,000 now. to pay past due bills,
some of them seven, six and i've months over
due.
We do not call on you often. Our last appeal
was made September, 1883, some fourteen
months ago, when we asked ZOO picked names
of well-to-do Jersey City citizens to send at least
SIS each to the treasurer. This appeal is sent to
the same 200 friends.
The Home cares for some forty-flve orphans,
at the expense of about 500 per year for each
making necessary $4,000 yearly.
The treasury is empty--past due bills, as above
mentioned, are pressing, some seven, some six
and five months old.
Two thousand dollars is needed at once to
keep the Home open, as the trustees do not see
their way clear to go on running in debt.
The Home is the only one of its kind in our big
city of 100000 people, and we call on each one
for q quick cash contribution, or the Home must
disband, for if our citizens do not help-please
think-who will?
The treasurer is George W. Conklin, cashier
First National Bank, Jersey City. Please find an
envelope, addressed TO him, and let each one
send his annual contribution, and send it, please,
at once.

tons up to date of publication are mentioned,

Our Improved Competitor.

We desire to congratulate only
competitor upon the improvement in
its appearance wrought by it's new
press. The reduction of the paper
to seven columns, and the cutting
of two inches off the column
length, takes it out of the
realm of blanket sheets, and
makes it a nice, easily handled little
sheet. Now if the Improvement is
continued so that the reading matter
may in time become legible, and then
an effort is made to raise the standard
of the news and the writing to the
modern plane of journalism, the
E1ening Journal will become quite a
creditable newspaper.
We take considerable pride to our
selves for the improvements already
made or still in contemplation. 1t is,
of course, the example set by The
JERSEY CITY NEWS and its vigorous
competition that has reused up its
elderly rival to the demands OF the
age.
AS to the mechanical difficulties
with which the Journal has been con-
tending for the last day or SO, these,
of course, do not count. We hare
been there ourselves, and we know
how it is. In a week or two the new
press will run smoothly, and all will
be we'll. Meanwhile, the advertising
and reading public will be patient,
and, doubtless, many of them will re-
sumo their patronage, when the
Journal is again able to make regular
publication.

ANOTHER practical proof of the
benefit the Democratic legislation of
last winter has been to the taxpayers
of Jersey City, has been furnished
by the Board of Sinking Fund
Commissioners. Yesterday and to-
day that Board has paid off
5000, 900 of seven per cent. bonds
which were issued in 1864 to pay
soldiers bounty. This makes $701, 900
in bonds which the present Board has
paid off since coming into Office with
the new charter. This has been done
without refunding. and thus the tax
payers are saved SOL, 900 yearly, which
it has been necessary to place in the
tax levy to meet the interest on these
bonds.
In view of this fact, what tax
payer can afford to vote against
Edward F. Mcdonald for Senator and
the Democratic nominees for the
Assembly?
