BIG STOCK.

The handsome new store of Perlmutter
on Newark avenue, which has been SO
largely patronized since it was opened
less than a year ago. is looking it's very
best now in gay holiday attire. Very
prettily it is decorated throughout, and
care has been taken to make the immense
windows look bright and attractive.
The variety of the stock, particularly of
the Christmas novelties, is surprising.
In the way of vases and ornaments are
seen here Japanese, English, French,
Bisque and terra Gotta ware, fine bronzes
and unique articles in oxydized ware,o odd
Russian vases and pretty silver cases for
jewels and other purposes. There is here
a large assortment of toilette, smokers,
n shaving sets, lovely mouchoir cases,
a fine quality of perfumes, albums and
many novelties.
Fine handkerchiefs and muflers are re-
ceiving much attention.
In the fur department anything re-
quired in this line is found here in the
most fashionable styles and materials. A
full line OF millinary and cloaks are finding
favor with all who require such articles.
Peormutter's Christmas stock quite sur
passes what one sees elsewhere.

AN INSURANCE WAR.
Lively Times Between the Prudential and
United States in Hoboken.

Lively Times Between the Prudential and
United States in Hoboken.
The war between the Prudential and
United States Life Insurance companies
is red hot in Hoboken, and each company
is offering large inducements for agents.
The Prudential Insurance Company
established an office at No. 1877 Washing
ton street, and for a while had the run of
business in that city. j. III. Knewo is the
local agent, and the canvassers were X
perienced and reliable men.
just q year ago, S Mr.. knewo says, the
United States opened an Office at First
street and Park avenue.
They offered large inducements and en-
deavored to secure several canvaSSerS
employed by the Prudential Insurance
Company.
The companies worked amicably to-
gether, however, until two months ago.
Mr.. Knewo was IN Europe on a vaca-
t y. when an open war was declared.
An agreement had been made by which
the policies of the companies were trans
ferrable.
This agreement wa broken, it is
claimed by the Prudential people, by the
United States refusing to recognize a
transfer.
The case in question was that Of Mrs.
Hooper, of No. 112 Second street. She
held a policy on the life of Patrick Han
Ion, who died recently. Before Mr.. Han
Ions death the policy was transferred
from the Prudential to the United States
Insurance Company. Now the United
States, it is claimed, refuses to recognize
the transfer.
One of the agents of the company visited
Mrs. Hooper today, and a photograph OF
the policy will be taken and inserted in
the books of the Prudential.
In the meantime the different agents

NOTES.

Engineer John E. Melick reports that
the prospects for extending the Rock
away Valley Railroad to Morristown are
exceedingly bright. A sufficient amount
of money has been pledged to warrant
that assumption.
The R. v. r. r. Co. finished grading on
the Peapack extension Saturday and ex-
pect to have their track laid by Christmas.
Recently about $4,000 was raised at
Morristown and Mendham for h pur-
pose of inducing the d.. L. 81 w. II. h. to
extend their line to the latter place. The
company, however, declined the proposal.
A meeting relative to the matter was
held at Mendham "Wednesday evening,
which was attended by the H.. v. II. II.
representatives, who made a proposition
that when 500, 900 was subscribed they
would extend their line from Peapack to
Morristown, via Mendham. The sub
~scription list was started in good shape,
and it looks as though the road would
certainly be extended.-SOnlefset Mess
engeT. -.
The Central Railroad is about to build
large storage vaults for coal at Hampton,
on the main line. 1t will be stocked dur
ing the summer, and be made a distribut-
ing point when cold weather sets in,
Engineers in the employ of the D., l..
and w. have recently surveyed three
routes for q railway between Caldwell
and a point on the Paterson spur of their
railway.
The King Locomotive Works. with a
capital of $1,000. 600, are to be located at
B~ordentown.
Engineers have been surveying for an
air line railroad between New York and
Chicago, and are now crossing Morris
county. The route surveyed is nearly one
hundred miles shorter than the shortest
line between the two great cities. They
are said to be following the old lines of
the Continental Railroad. The road is to
be built in anticipation of the great pas
senger traffic in 1892, when the Worlds
Fair will occur.
A railroad conductor wanting to teach
a new brakeman his duties told him to go
to the other end of the car, and when he,
the conductor, called out the names of the
stations along the route that he should
say the same at his end of the car. When
they came to the first station, the conduc-
tor called out, "Ma-wash-in-e-tol' which

The following strange history has been

Paris "a law fnrbidding any house that

I think, 10 o'clock. The pressure of or

tempted Madame " tn break this law.
Her work-rooms were i'm full tide of opcr-
alton ONE evening near midnight. when
an Oninous summons sounded NJ the door,
followed by the dreaded mandate: "Open.
in the name of the law!' In AN instant
the goods and sewing implements were
whisked ont of sight, the lights were ex-
tinguishcd, and the w~ork-woneu were
hidden away here. there and everywhere.
One girl. "a delicate little creature. was
hurricdly thrust idto IA great wardrobe
hung with dresses, the door closed and
locked upon her, and the key removed.
The visit of inspection of the police re-
vealcd nothing, and as soon as they had
taken their departure the girls was RE-
leased from their hiding places: But
when the wardrobe door was unlocked,
the corpse of the unhappy child who had
been concealed there. fell upon the floor.
She had died of suffocation. This story
