WAS HE DROWNED?

David Jarvis, of BayOnne, Supposed to
Be at the Bottom of Newark Bay.
On Saturday night last q man giving
the name of David Jarvis hired a boat
from Ryder's boat house, at the Bergen
Point end of the Central Railroad draw
bridge over Newark Bay. He had on a
brown overcoat, and in his hands were
rod, reel and basket. Yesterday morning
the boat was found, unoccupied, near the
Clark buoy, and there can be but little
doubt that the man was drowned.
This theory is strengthened by the re-
porto John Clark, the tenderat the draw,
who says that about half-past ten on Sat
urday night he heard cries from the bay,
but having no boat, and there being no
vessel of any kind near, he was unable to

The concert of the Valencia Boat Club
will be held at Odd Fellows Hall, Hobo
ken, on October 90. The best talent has
been selected for the event, and this
alone will be worth the admission fee. A
hop will follow.
The Active Boat Club has decided to at
tend in a body the concert and hop of the
Valencia Boat Club. This Is a manifes-
tation of the fraterual spirit that should
prevail among aquatic and all other
kindred organizations. The Valencias
met with q severe loss in the wreck of
their property during the late storm, and
they need help and deserve the support of
their brother oarsmen, Tor no club has
been more eager to advance the interests
of boating than the Valencias. They
recognize and fully appreciate the kind
ness of the Actives.
Edward Offermann, the missing insur-
ance agent, was the treasurer of the Va

will reveal nothing. Even the club meet
ings have been deferred for the purpose
of avoiding the hearing Of the report of
the investigating committee.

dressing gown. He is captured by the
pirates. just as his daughters entered IN
peignoirs. Mabel calls on Frederic Ia

His Life in Wilmington and his Attrac
tive Personal Characteristics.
A despatch from Salem. Mass, printed
eon another page gives the news of the
suicide of Rev. Fielder Israel, once pastor
OF the Unitarian Church in this city. DR..
Israel was native of Baltimore and one
.oI the most prominent Unitarian divines
in, Massachusetts. The melancholia or de-
rangementwhich caused him to commit his
dreadful deed was brought on by the ner-
vous shock received at the burning of
the tranfer steamer Maryland at New
York two weeks ago, on which he was a
passenger. He was noticed by his friends
to appear very melancholy, and in the
course of conversation remarked that
there is nothing in the world but
DEATH death, death"
DR.. Israel was educated for the Metho-
dist ministry, and for some years was a
leading minister in that denomination
He was pastor of an independent church
in Baltimore during the war and achieved
distinction as a daring and devoted
unionist. After being forced from this
church by Confederate sympathizers he
came to this city and became pastor Of the
Unitarian Church in 1865. It was
through his efforts that the church was
built and the society put on a firm basis.
de remained in this city until 1875, as
pastor of the Unitarian Church.
sometime during this interval. however
his connection with this church was tenn
porarily severed and he went to Taunton.
Mass, where he was pastor Of a church.
After two or three years in that city. he
returned to the church in Wilmington,
with which he was connected until 1873. |
In March 1877 he was installed as pastor |
OF the First Unitarian Church of Salem. |
Mass, the oldest of four Unitarian |
churches in this city.
DR.. Israel leaves widow. but no |
children. He was noted as an eloquent |
speaker and a daring, logical thinker. |
While in this city he was highly respected |
and very popular, being well known to /
all. He had a large heart, full of sympa-
thy for everybody of every class. he
took great interest in all philanthrophic
work and was the founder of several pub
lie charities. The Workingmen's Insti
tute was organized by him and he was
the leading spirit in the Mechanics
fair that was held under the auspices
of this association, in the Third Street
Market House Immediately after its COM
pletion. At one time he attended a SUP
per given by the Fame Hose Company.
and made an address. Immediately be-
very popular with the firemen.
Dr. israel preached occasionally at
Longwood and Kennett Square during
his residence in this city. He was a
small man physically, of very nervous
and sensitive temperature. His friends
in this city, who knew him well have no
doubt that his mind was affected by the
accident to the steamer Maryland, when
he committed the deed that ended his
life.

The cases Of William Ryan and John
HarriEan. charged with keeping a poker
game at No. 109 East Water street. was
before the Municipal Court this morning
IL is usual in such cases that a loss Of
memory Is displayed but the witnesses
this morning knew absolutely nothing
about there being such a game in exist
ence. They we're acquitted with
Messrs." Ryan and Harrigan, the de.
PENDANTS, but the idea OF those gentlemen
running poker game never entered
their brains. The city solicitor did his ut
most at the examination to entrap the
witnesses. The judge took hand also. He
did not get much further There is one
thing that was pretty conclusively proved
however. There was one block in the
city where poker was not played for a
whole year from January 1, 1888.
This pure block is bounded by Front.
Water, King and French streets. No
one would have thought ii, but the wit
nesses swore to it, One of the wit
Hesses had never played poker
Several admitted the soft impeach-
ment and City Solicitor Turner
gave 1t as his opinion that poker was a
scientific game. Several of the witnesses
lived in the house where the game is
alleged to have taken place. but they
knew not of his existence. Notwith-
standing the burden of testimony the
chief and the solicitor proposed to offer
testimony on Saturday. the 18th instant.
to convict the defendants. The court
held them under bail for their appearance
at that time.
Owen Hougnten accused of having an
interest in the dog fight in Early's black
smith shop on Wednesday evening was
