An Insult to Union Labor.

That clever trade paper, the Union
Printer, contains the following refer
ence to the Labor Day parade in Jer-
sey City
The parade in Jersey City was not so large as
was anticipated. The United Brotherhood Of
Carpenters, the L. A. of Painters and the Tin
and Sheet Iron Workers, however, made a good
showing. THE JERSEY Cry NEWS chapel
paraded thirty-seven men, under the marshal
ship of Kenneth Forbes. Andy Hughes, known
to every union printer. carried the chapel
banner. After the march the chapel adjourned
to Tom O'Neills, on Montgomery street, and
whiled the hours away with songs, speeches and
humorous recitations. These were the first
union printers to march in a labor parade in
Hudson county, and all along the route they
were greeted with hearty cheers.
The union printers mentioned were
those who were SO emphatically omit
ted from the report of our only com
petitor. When the venomous editorial
pencil cut all reference to them from
the story of the days doings it in
suited not only the organized force of
labor, but the reading public in gem
eral, which has a right to demand the
news OF the day unperverted by mean
prejudice and petty malice.

being increased by two fatalities. At
Bayonne station a well known gentle
man got down from a train on the
side away from the station just as the
fast freight whizzed by, He was
probably never so near death before,
for the train barely missed him.
AT Bergen Point station a man tried
to board a moving train, and was be-
ing carried along by it, unable to
let go or to get safely on, when the
conductor saw him and pulled the
bell rope just in time.
Most of the accidents which are SO
frequent at the points named are
caused by the -carelessness Of the vic
TINS, but there are others which are
due to dangerous crossings and to
violations of rules of the company by
those in charge of trains.
The narrow escape at Bavonne
station is only a repetition of what has
occurred at this and other places near
it. Trains rush by others which are
d~lscharging passengers, and the
patrons of the road must scamper for
their lives. Such dangerous practices
are prohibited by the company's regu-
l%ations, and violations should be
vigorously Investigated. Something,
too, should be done to mitigate the
dangers of the Centreville crossing.
Its record is too bloody.

A Telerranher,s Ruse.


On one occasion an operator started out
from Fairfax Station on a handcar pro-
PEELED by three contrabands to attempt
to restore the line SO that Pope's opera
tors could communicate his whereabouts.
Finding the line cut beyond Pohick
bridge, he spliced it and got signals from
both directions. While so engaged u
party of guerillas emerged from the
woods to the track and surrounded him.
Bidding the negroes stand fast, he dictated
a swift message over the line, which was
being repeated back to him and copied as
the Confederate leader leaned over his
shoulder and read the significant words
"Buford has sent back q regiment of
cavalry to meet the one from here and
guard the-line. If you are molested we
will hang every citizen on the route" The
instrument ceased ticking as the operator
firmly replied:-". - 70. K.) A
painful pause ensued. The Confederate
might have suspected a ruse if at the
moment a CLEAN of sabres had not shown
in the direction of Fairfax Court House.
Hastily starting for the woods the leader
exclaimed: - "Come home, boys; these
we're amt our niggers, I" and they disap-
peared, while the %handcar, as if driven by
forty contraband power, sped rapidly
forward. Pope's wires were not well
guarded at any time.-Ihe Century.

Marvellous, Wonderful and True.

AA1A& a51 nAANk A1aOs
DR.. Fanyou, of No. 259, Sixth avenue,
has had great success in this city during
the past twelve years in curing all nerv-
Gus and chronic diseases without medi-
cine. Thousands lave been cured after
all other means hayeifailed. The worthy
poor are treated free, from $50 to 1890
a. m, and those who are willing and able
to a from 1890 a. M. to 4:30 p. m.
Read the following testimonial from a
well known Brooklyn LADY,
/ desire to call the attention of the
readers of your paper to a remarkable
case of treatment and cure under the
hands of DIR. Joseph Fanyou, formerly of
Boston, now having office No. 258 Sixth
avenue, New York city.
In the fall of 1887 | met with an accident
resulting in forming an abscess which de-
veloped into tumor (ovarian). Ny case
under treatment of best medical skill and
specialists gave me up for h operating
table or a cripple, asI was then, for life. In
the month OF April, 1888, ! heard of DR..
Fanyou, and on the 10th OF said month
placed myself in his care as helpless as a
child. Under his magnetic power of heal
ing / 500 realized a great change, and in
less thar two months from the time of my
first treatment could walk without the
aid or crutches. The intense pain / suf-
fered is beyond description, but daily grew
less, and at time of writing of this | am
apparently free of tunlor, Il life, that
might have ended with the knife, is still
mine. My case was a serious one of eel
lulitis and %peritonitis combined with
tumor.
Having heard of a case cured by DR..
Fanyou in Boston Fremont HalD some
years ago, where a lady (Mrs. Hart) had
her voice restored, it seems fitting to me
that / should send this letter for publica-
ton, trusting thereby to benefit the suf-
fering, and lead them to hope for ultimate
recovery. MARY f.. THOMPSON,

RAILROAD NOTES

Ticket Clerk Willard Mapes of the Erie
depot, was married to Miss Angelina +.
Lendrum. of Newburg, on Wednesday
evening, at the residence of the brides
parents, No. 140 Lander street. After the
ceremony the couple left for Boston for a
short wedding trip. They will make their
home in Jersey City. The genial clerk
has many friends among the Erie EN-
ployees, who are waiting to extend their
congratulations.
The burning of the Erie Railroad sta
ton at Clifton yesterday morning is be
lleved by the Erie officials to have been
the work of firebugs. The building was
totally consumed. Some quick work has
been done to arrange for the general
transaction of station business. The tele-
graph operators room Is in a freight car.
A new building will be erected as soon as
possible.
A great many of the yard employees at
the Erie depot patronize "Bridget's''
apple and candy booth on Pavonia ave-
nne, near the depot. When Bridget gets
mad with any one of them who attempts
a little occasional fun at her expense She
watches for the offender, then quietly
filing her apron with rotten apples, locks
the door of her shanty, and pelts the
object of her wrath till he disappears be-
hind the yard gates. More than INT
knight of the road has had a dose of
Bridget's rotten apples administered in
this manner
The superintendent of the Central Road
has issued q special order to the trainmen
forbidding them to allow tramps or law
less characters to ride on their trains.
When such cannoJ be excluded they are
to wire to some principal station and
have them arrested.
Patrick Lynch, for twenty years the
faithful fiagman at the Union depot cross
ing at Elizabeth, one of the most danger
Gus in the United States, is compelled to
retire from duty owing to physical disa-
bility. The citizens, recognizing his
valuable services in saving scores of
lives during this period, have started a
testimonial fund for him.
AID; l.. & w. brakeman was arrested
in Newark last week for stealing a pint of
milk from a can in the freight house.
j. S. Hammond, general freight agent
of the Erie, has resigned.
All the brakemen in the United States
are asking that railroad companies be
compelled to use automatic couplers on
freight cars. And all who know the
duties and perils of brakemen will en-
dorse their very reasonable request.
Many q poor fellow has been crushed to
death who might be living today had the
cars he was obliged to couple been sup
piled with automatic couplers.-EIizdbeth

Whose Fight Is LIP

Whose fight is it, anyway, this
Gubernatorial contest that we are en-
tering on? Is it really a party strug-
gle, or is it something of even broader
and deeper Importance to the people
of the State?
We rather think that this is the
fight of the people for their rights.
The continued existence,-even the
prosperity of the Democratic party
is not at stake. OF course, that party
will be benefited by a victory, but if
defeat We're possible it would still rise
with n ew energy therefrom.
But If by any chance the corpora
tions and trusts which control the Re-
publican party, should succeed in
riveting their chains upon the people
by the election of a subservient COVER
nor, or venal Legislature, the event
would of a certainty be disastrous to
the interests of all the citizens for a
generation to come.
Not content with the huge advan-
tages which they have been granted
and have stolen from the public in the
past, the corporations showed, during
the last session of the Legislature, a
tendency to new and still more out
rageous aggressions upon the public
domain. Only the determined opposi-
ton of a united Democracy sufficed
to prevail against these, backed as
they were by the INSCRIPTIONS forces
of Republicanism. The Democracy,
as it always has done, stood guard
over the rights of the State and of the
citizens.
This is one additional reason
why it will be bitterly ~assailed
during the campaign. The same "a
pacity that ragged at Trenton in
March, sharpened by hunger, will,
raven about the polls in November.
All who might try to battle it will be
the objects of its ire. Leon Albeit
will be the especial victim. He
represents in particular the defence
of the State and the people. His
name is inseperably connected with
the just and equitable enforcement of
law, with staunch and incorruptible
resistance to moneyed aggression.
He is the friend and
defender of the laborer, the friend
and defender of the farmer, the friend
and defender of the business man, and
he is the determined foe of all indi-
viduals, corporations, or parties that
attack the sovereign privileges of the
State by force Or corruption, that
grasp at the public domain or deal
progressively with the weaker inter
ests of the community.
Whose fight then is the struggl for
Leon Abbett's election? Is it not the
fight of the laborer, the farmer, the
business man? Is it not the fight of
the people who pay the the taxes, who
are the bone and sinew of the State2
1t is not the fight of the millionaire
and the giant corporation. These
have no use for the man whose
rule of life, is justice to
all. But it is the concern
of all patriotic citizens who
are DESTROYS that they and their chill
dren should dwell ip,,ssa free state
under equal laws, and not in a cor
rupt plutocracy, where the many
are degraded to be the servants of the
few.

The Lover and one Goose.

A young man over in Brushvalley
township was desperately in love with a
farmers daughter. She reciprocated the
tender passion, but her father was sullen
and obdurate and gave the young man to
understand in the most emphatic terms
that if he ever entered that house it would
be at his peril. Hew0uld, he said, kick
the daylights out of him."
One night recently, when the old gentle
man had gone to Indiana to be absent
over night, the young nan took advan-
tage Of his absence to visit the daughter.
They were sitting in the front room, both
beaming with joy. 1t was nearly mid
night. Presently the daughter heard a
noise. which she recognized as her fathers
footsteps. There was a bed in the room,
and the girl drew back the calico curtains
and told the young man to hustle under.
He did so. She had forgotten to tell him
that there was a goose under there en-
gagged in a motheriy effort to hatch out a
dozen young goslings. Scarcely had the
Young man gotten himself securely
Slowed away when the girls father en-
tered.
Just about this time the old goose made
q kissing noise, drew back its long neck,
and struck the already frightened in
truder a smart blow on the left ear, nip
ping piece out. That was enough. He
was sure he had been bitten by a snake,

Gently been introduced in Germany as a
material for filtering and at the same

adheres firmly to it. After being well
washed with a solution of barium chlor-
Idle until no precipitate is given, the So
dunn sulphate simultaneously produced
is entirely removed, and the prepared
sawdust is ready for use. Colored liquids
filtered with it have their color entirely
removed by the formation of lakes with

tering material, A sawdust similarly
saturated with barium chloride is used
for fltering liquids from which it is re-
quired to remove calcium sulphate, and
for the removal of calcium carbonate from
a solution. a sawdust that has been treated
with magnesium sulphate and caustic
soda is employed Industries.
