AMUSEMENTS.
The s. a Line.',

The "Main Lineo was again pre-
sented at Jacobs Theatre last night.
The cast is uniformly excellent. The
play is full of striking scenes and Incl
dents, and the appearance of moving
trains about to collide is a feature
that provoked the keenest interest
and excitement on the part of the au-
dience, who last night alternately held
their breath and burst forth in loud
applause of the performers. The story
is pretty and the acting of Laura Dins-
more as Possy, the Western girl tele-
graph operator, was almost superb.
1.-THE Main Line will hold the boards
tonight for the last time.
Tomorrow night the great emotional
actress and Southern stage beauty,
Miss Lee Lamar, will appear in
BARLEY Campbell's Fate" supported
by good company.

THE WHEELMEN'S SMOKER.
1t Was a Pleasant Afair-Other Social
Events.

GttHtSs
The Hudson County Wheelmen
gave a smoker last evening at their
rooms, No. 555 Communipaw avenue
At least a hundred men were there
and they had a good time generally.
Previous to the hour set for recita-
tions many of the guests amused
themselves playing on the bicycola.
There were handsome prizes for the
winners, consisting Of a gold watch
chain, a clock, a silver-headed cane
and other small articles.
The first prize was won by w. s.
Higgins, with q score of 1850. j. Il.
Griffiths captured the second prize,
with the third. III. A. Benedict and
w. G. Korth won fourth and fifth
prizes.
1t was nine o'clock when the first
recitation was given by Prof. Mark

1.-THE Ghost, not an alarming ghost,
but an amusing one, was given by w.

ing of Messrs. Wood, Wolford, Eldridge
and Demmert, played a number of
good tunes. Vocal solos by T. f.
Merseles and w. e. Eldridge followed.
They also sang q duet composed by
Mr.. Merseles and entitled "Do You
| Think So which took with the boys.
The event of the evening was q
quartette burlesque, in ballet cos
tune, by the committee, Messrs.
Eldridge, Benedict, Grif1ths and Mer-
seles. The topical songs full of
hits at the members, and the ballet
costumes made up in quality what
they lacked in quantity. Mr. Bene-
diets black whiskers and blond wig
made an effective contrast, and Mr..
Grifith's legs We're a poem. After the
entertainment there was a good sup

nal1oting in the Horseshoe.

The Aldermanic Convention of the
Second District, was held at Freebooter
Kelly's saloon, at the corner Of Hender-
son and Tenth streets last night. The
convention was quiet, and there was
no opposition to the nomination of
candidates, except for the position of
Constable. Two men wanted the
position and eight ballots were cast
before one was nominated. Alderman
Dennis Reardon was renominated, as
was also Fire Commissioner John
Guiton. William Hogan was .nomi-
mated for Constable on rthe eighth
ballot. His opponent was Philip Nc
Govern. Four Justices Of the Peace
were nominated William Have, John
Carr, John DAILY and James Tumulty.

affairs should not be settled on the
most favorable terms. The wealth Of
the community is a guarantee to its
creditors which places its financial
operations altogether outside the kite
flying class, and either the county or
any other corporation ought to be
glad to hold its interest paying bonds.
But now that the Mayor has stamped
on the Board of Finances plan, per
haps he will suggest a better one.

If "Ras" Lewis, the benign presi-
dent of the Fat Mems Club ever gets
into an aldermanic chair, it will re-
quire q block and steam windlass to
get him out again. He remarked in
convention last evening that if any
Third District Republican voted
against him he would "sit on him" A
voter who ever felt the weight of such
an argument as that would come out
fiat for Lewis, dead or alive.

Our only competitor was asleep while
the Board of Trade committee had its
conference with Engineer Brooks of
the Pennsylvania Railway regarding
the change of street grades incident to
the elevation of the tracks.
The JERSEY CITY News was wide

read a long and interesting account of
the conference and of the plans in this
paper yesterday.
Probably our only competitor will
copy the news to-day.

volunteers FILLED the Bill.

A musical and literary entertain
ment was given at the Second Presby-
terrain Church last evening under the
auspices of the Ladies' Aid Society,
which came near proving a failure.
The principal attractions were the
Park Sisters and Mr.. Edward Fabian,
none of whom appeared. They sent
kilograms of excuse, saying that their
luggage had gone astray. Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry Buchanan kindly volun-
teered to recite and sing in the place
of Mr.. Fabian. Mr.. Buchanan amused
the audience with comic Rotations
and Mrs. Buchanan sang some good
songs. Edward A. O'Callaghan played
upon the piano, and Prof. Frank T..
Miner gave a beautiful solo on the
hand-bells.

Some Day.


Some Day.
Some day, some day of days, threading the street,
With idle, needless pace
Unlocking for such grace,
/ shall behold your facet
Some day, some day of days, thus may we meet.
Perchance the sun may shine from skies OF May,
Or winters icy chill
Touch Whitley vale and hill;
What matter? / shall thrill
Through every vein with summer on that day.
Once more iife's perfect youth will all come back,
And for q moment there
| shall stand fresh and fair
And drop the garment, care;
Once more my perfect youth shall nothing lack.
I shut my eyes now, thinking how twill be,
How, face to face, each soul
viii slip its long control,
Forge-Iae dismal dole
OF dreary fate's dark, separating sea.
And glance to glance, and hand to hand in greet
ing,
The past with all its fears,
Its silence and its tears,
Its lonely, yearning years,
Shall vanish in the moment of that meeting

An Opal story.

Good fortune goes with the opal.
Last Christmas the wife of a well
known coffee broker made him a pres
ent of a scarf pin set with am opal. AT
the time he had a mortgage on his
house, his business was in a desperate
condition, he was threatened with
paersis. Pretty soon coffee began to
rise. 1t kept going up. He cleared a
handsome sum, paid off the mortgage
and had a substantial balance left.
Some one slipped the pin out of his
scarf one day in a crowd. The very
next day he fell down stairs and broke

Al New Charter for Jersey City.

"A ANOW AAAAL " OCA0Cy ~
1t is proposed that the new charter
bill shall be made a law without further
delay and submitted to a vote of the
people of Jersey City next Tuesday.
There is scarcely a doubt that if it is it
will be accepted.
The municipal government of Jer-
sey City is atrocious; SO bad that citi-
fzens go to the Legislature declaring
that any change must be an improve
ment. The departments + honey
combed with %sinecures; attempts at
public improvements are mere farces
because favored contractors must fill
their purses. Taxes are heavy and the
money is wasted.
A change is ~imperatively demanded.
But THE News has pointed out that
the FIRST Mayor to exercise its auto
cratic powers should be one elected by
the people with the knowledge that he
was to WELD them.
Our lawmakers have not accepted
this suggestion. Nevertheless let not
the people be disquieted. The citizens
OF Jersey City can hardly be worse off
than they are now even supposing a
change is made from an autocratic
political syndicate to an autocratic
Mayor.
Meanwhile, THE JERSEY Cry NEWS
congratulates Mayor Cleveland on the
opportunity to be soon given him of
introducing honesty, order and econ
omy into the affairs of the metropolis
of New Jersey.
1t also congratulates the people of
Jersey City on the fact that they have
an organ devoted to the interests of
good government--one which already
has proved itself capable of securing
great results for the welfare of the
people. If the new charter shouldn't
prove everything that is wanted, THE
JERSEY CRY News will help next
year to get an improved one.

The re sfusol of the County Commiss toner's
TO turn over the bonds of the Three C's
Railroad, after the Supreme Court has
declared the validating Act Of the Last
Legislature constitutional, has again
brought the bond question prominently
before our people. The wi,dom Of this
action on the part Of the Commissioners
is severely criticised by some, while
others strongly uphold it. AS far rs
cnn be learned, it is the intention Of
these County officials, acting under nd
vice of counsel, to refuse to i',uc their
certificate until compelled to do so by
the Legislature. claiming that the decision
of the Supreme Court is Glitter dicta
