WAS THE DANMARK ABANDONED ?
Reported Disaster to Steamer Crowded
with Emigrants.

with Emigrants.
The greatest excitement prevails in
shipping circles in New York today.
Early this morning cable despatch from
London to the Maritime Exchange
said that the Inman line steamer City
of Chester. which arrived at Liverpool
from New York late last night. had re-
ported passing, abandoned in midocean,
April 8, the Thingvalla line steamer Dan
mark, bound from Christiansand, Nor
way, for New York.
The Thingvalla line is probably the
largest carrying immigrant line that plies
between this port and Europe. The Dan
mark had on board when she left
Christiansand for New York, on March 20,
six hundred and fifty passengers, pre-
sumably all immigrants. Including the
vessels captain, r. N. Kundsen, the crew
numbered forty men.
The agents of the company do not credit
the report. Mr. Edge. of the firm, has
cabled to the London office for further
particulars.
At noon Mr.. Edge said that nothing
further had been received
The Danmark was formerly the freight
steamer Jan Rydel, of the White Cross
Line. She was built in 1880 at New Cas-
tie, England, and was rated in the highest
class. She was of iron, brigantine rugged,
had three decks and nine watertight bulk
heads. Her carrying capacity was 4, 400
tons

Fighting THE COMBINE
Newsdealers Unite Against
the Latest New York
Trust"
MOUNTAINS OF WASTE PAPER.
A Meeting Called Tonight for Dis
cussion and Protest.

The newsdealers of Jersey City have at
organized action against the New York
Sunday newspaper combine. They will hold
ameeting at Stier's Hall, ON Firststreet and
Jersey avenue this evening at half-past
eight O'Clock sharp, to devise methods for
a successful fight against the exaction by
the New York newspapers of five cents
per copy for their Sunday issues.
The newsdealers have long been pro-
testing against the weight of paper they
are obliged to serve to each customer to
whom they deliver Sunday papers.
Time was when the largest
of the Sunday papers was only
eight pages in extent. But the press of
advertisements on their columns made
enlargements necessary and the papers
have doubled and trebled, and sometimes
quadrupled in size.
A USELESS BURDEN.
As consequence the Sunday morning
weight on the newsdealer's back is now
three and sometimes four times as great
as it used to be. The papers that have
bltio dQuCQ W LIS 1OttAly eL1tA W oA4C SAPSAA7>
of delivery too, for many who used to
carry their papers under their arms over
their Sunday morning routes, are now
obliged to drive wagons-bring the
newspaper dealer no addition of profit.
The papers coin money out OF the
enlargements from advertisers, but they
share none of it with the newsmen who,
by building up routes for them, make the
ton of advertising sheets they carry vaiu-
able.
Nor is the hardship the newsdealers
alone. The patrons of the paper are suf-
ferers in another direction. They get q
vast deal more of paper in their Sunday
morning sheets, but they get nothing
more beyond the labor of hunting through
page after page for the same modicium of
news that, in the smaller papers of some
time ago, was grouped in small compass
for their enlightment and amusement.
THE READERS WILL ASSIST.
AS therefore the readers derive no bene-
fit from the enlargements which the yari-
GUS Sunday morning newspapers have un-
dergone, the newsdealers ask them to aid
the fight that will be inaugurated at to :
nights meeting against the imposition to
which both are subjected
THE SUNDAY MORNING NEWS is not one
of the combine, and would not become q
part of it on any consideration. Its price
will remain at three cents; and it will be
found to contain within its eight pages,
not only as much general and very
much more local news than the New York
papers furnish; but it will be found to
equal the New York newspapers as well
in its variety of really interesting special,
literary and theatrical features.

Cornelius Van Riper's Heirs Take Ex-

Cornelius Van Riper's Heirs Take Ex-
ception to the Guardians Accounting.
Cornelius Van Ripper, of Hoboken, died
about fifteen years ago. He left an estate
to his two children, Mary and John, and
Raymond Cook was appointed their
guardian. He rendered an accounting
last Friday and counsel for the wards
took exceptions to it.
The wards claimed that the guardian
does not state in his accounting the date
when he received the trust fund; that he
does charge himself with as
sets to the amount of 1868. 50,
but gives no items; that no account
is rendered for interest received by
him on funds in the savings bank; that
he does not give the date of the loss of
S233. II, for which he asked the Court to
grant an allowances; that he has not
charged himself with receiving $S4. As
from the estate, as the residue of leg
aey: that he did not charge himself
with S253. SO drawn from the Irving Saw
ings Bank August s, 1887, and the interest
on the same, this money being the prop
erty Of Mary Van Ripper; and lastly, that
no date or name is on the voucher for
S247. so, which, it is claimed, was paid for
the board of the children. The case was
adjourned for one week.
Mr.. Cook is man too well known in
Hoboken to be suspected of having been
negligent in his trust, and it is believed
that at the next hearing of the case he
will explain everything to the satisfaction
of all the parties interested.

SHOT HIMSELF In COLD BLOOD.
Suicide Of John Robert Won Hengel II
Busch's Hotel, Hoboken.

Suicide Of John Robert Won Hengel in
Busch's Hotel, Hoboken.
In the cold receiving room of Cranes
morgue lies the lifeless form of an inno-
cent man whom the brand of crime he
did not commit drove to desperation and
suicide. John Robert Won Hengel, Lieu
tenant in the Nineteenth Regiment of the
Prussian Line was born at Glatz, "a Silesian
city, on the banks of the river Oder. in
1858. From the arrangement of his papers
and the entries in his passbook it is evi-
dent that the current of his life ran
smoothly until a short time ago, when he
came to the United States
Last Wednesday afternoon he left his
rooms at No. 746 Bedford avenue Brook
lyn, and ON reaching Hoboken. engaged a
room at Busch's Hotel, on Hudson street.
Yesterday afternoon, having completed
his arrangements. a bullet went crashing
through his skull and Won Hengel was
cold in death, shot by his own hand
Never was self murder committed
with more deliberation The suicide un-
dressed himself to his shirt and drawers,
arranged his clothing neatly on the bed,
and then down on the floor fired the fatal
port, so they all say.
When the girl went up to make the
beds she found the door locked and called
for assistance. No one in the house cared
to force the door, so they waited for the
police When Aid Rathjen, who an
swered tine call, broke in the door, he
found the body of the suicide in a pool Of
blood On the table beside the bed were
number of letters. One was addressed
to the proprietor of the hotel apologizing
for choosing his house for the deed and
saying that false accusation of crime
had made life unbearable A few lines to
the Coroner voice the dead mans wish to
be cremated at Fresh Pond, Long Island.
and give the address of Mr.. Kellar, of No.
9 Cook street, Brooklyn, in whose hands
is an insurance policy for $40 to defray the
expenses of cremation.
Stamped and sealed letters were also ad-
dressed to his brother, Lieutenant G. Won
Hengel, No. 1859 Furfursten strasse, Ber-
lin; to Keeper Newman, of the Long
Island Crematory; to Arnold Wigger, OF
No. 1173 Second avenue, New York; to
Herr Adelberg, No 106 Park avenue,
Brooklyn; to Herr Under, No. "a Lynch
street, Brooklyn. and to Herr Hachenberg,
No. 1856 Hart street, Brooklyn.

PAINTERS WILL NOT STRIKE.
The Secretary of the Union Says There
Will BE No Trouble.

Thomas Flanagan, the secretary of the
Painters Union, called at THE JERSEY
CITY NEWS office this morning to deny the
stories circulated by the Journal to the
effect that the painters would strike very
soon.
"There will be no trouble" said Mr.
Flanagan "as the relations existing be-
tween the employers and men of the
building trades were never more harmon
icus than now. We do not desire to be
placed before the public as fayoring a
Strike, particularly when exactly the re-
verse Is the truth. Say in The JERSEY
CrTY NEWS for me that the employers
have met us half way, and there is not a
remote possibility of any trouble at all.
We ask THE JERSEY CITY NEWS to pub
lish this, because we have received fair
play from it since its inception, and we
know that by publishing this official con-
tradiction, it will more than counteract
the evil influences of journals that either
carelessly or maliciously misrepresent the
labor organizations of this city
II have been in this city ten years and
painters' wages have always been So per
day Our demand upon the employers
this year is simply for nine hours a day,
SO that we may be placed upon footing
of equality with the affiliated branches of
the building trades"

The lines represent board partitions. six

The voter goes into the space surrounded
by partitions, and is absolutely alone while
he selects his ballot. He delivers 1t folded

offence to mark a ballot in any way. Prac-
tical politicians say that this would be
simple and effective.

It is believed that it is almost too late in
the season for this bill to pass both
Houses.

ing for the study of temperance from a

The House bill reorganizing the man
agement of the Soldiers Home at Kear-
ney and providing for a resident surgeon
was passed. The House bill allowing q
general exception to be taken to the
Judges charge in criminal trial was also
sent to the Governor.
The bill authorizing the Governor, Comp
trt Ter and Secretary of State to designate
the newspapers in which the sessions
laws shall be published, was ordered to a
third reading Notwithstanding the oppo-
sition of the republican Senators. 1t
seems that Comptroller Anderson objects
to being sandwiched between two good
democrats.
Speaker Hudspeth did his best to make
the House dispose of the bills before it to-
day Half a dozen were lost, and three
times as many were passed. Among the
former were Feeney's Inspector of Plumb
ing bill; Kane's, fixing the liability en-
ployers for personal injuries incurred by
EMPLOYEES and the bill compelling build
ing and loan associations to publish every
six months statement of their financial
condition.
Among those passed was Senator
Bakers bill allowing the appointment OF
a County Clerk pro tenn by the Court. 1t
seems that the present Clerk of Cumber-
land is i'll, his deputy is deaf and dumb
and there is no one to do the work at the
approaching term of court. The Senate
bin prohibiting persons not members, OF
the bar from practicing was also passed.

they hesitate about flying in the face of
the people by making a contest.
Commissioner Edelstein is satisfied with
the new charter, and he is not disposed to
fight. But his term as member of the
Board will expire tomorrow, and John d.
missioner Warren's term also expires to-
morrow, but he has been appointed to
succeed himself
1t has been thought that point might
be made of the fact that the two members
of the Board who are to begin a new
term have not yet been sworn in. City
Clerk Scott might refuse, SO it was ar
gued, to administer the oath of office for
his second term to Mr.. Warren, and for
his first term to Mr. Frazer; and the ques-
ton might be brought to an immediate
issue by an application for o mandamus.
On enquiry at the City Clerks office this
morning, it was learned that the oath of
Office was administered to both Mr.. War
ren and Mr.. Frazer Immediately after
their election for the term about to open.
Their Counsel advise the members that
they have a case for the courts that pre-
sents some very serious questions. 1t may
be debated whether the courts will uphold
the Legislature In ordering an election on
two days notice. The voters, it is claimed,
had right to reasonable notice before
the election was held.
The point as to the regularity of the
notice of election issued by Alderman
O'Nein as Acting Mayor, and not by the
Mayor himself, is claimed to be reinforced
by the Introduction, since the election, of
the act making the election legal. The
value of an enabling act of that kind is
disputed by those disposed to contest the
charter In the courts.
Current rumors connect some names
with several places in the new depart
ments. 1t is said that the Board of Works
will consist of Charles Somers, Michael J..
O'Donnell and Marmaduke Tilden; that
Assemblyman John p. Feeney will be
President of the Police Board, and Police
Commissioner Davis, second member of
the Board.
There is some opposition to Davis, how
ever. Police Commissioner James E.
Kelly may go in in his stead. Colonel
John McAnerny is talked of in connection
with the Board of Finance, as is DR..
Leonard j. Gordon also, and the names of
Jacob Ringle and Com Benson are in
definitely heard of as possible appointees
to one or another of the city places.
These names are given for what they
are worth.

invited him to the show, but he replied
that he preferred the Convention of
Undertakers in session here. His joint
resolution issuing fifty stands of arms to
the Hibernia Rifles of Jersey City has not
been passed after all, and he is suffering
from the sudden collapse of his dream.

times for fun, and is 50 fond of the

TRENTON, April II, 1sS9.-The Kane
Australian Election bill was officially
announced to have been laid on the shelf
in the Senate this afternoon when sub
stitute was presented. The reasons why
the Kane bill should not become law
bave already been explained in THE JER-
sEY CITY NEWS.
The substitute is substantially the same
as the bill introduced by Senator Werts.
The principle of the bill is that the voter
shall have an opportunity of selecting the
ballot he desires to cast without being
seen by anybody Bribery and intimida-
ton on the present plan would fail, be-
cause the voter, after having received a
ballot from the worker, would have abun-
dant opportunity for changing it without
being seen. The following diagram Illus
trates the principle:-
