The leaning tower of Pisa is not the
only edifice which is somewhat of it's
BASE" There are two leaning towers in
the ancient city of Bologna, called re-
spectively Asinelli and Zarisenda towers.
They were built in the twelfth century
and are situated quite near each other.
The former, which is PIP feet high, devil
stes five feet from the perpendicular,
while the latter has height of 1873 feet
and q divergence of nine.
The same controversy has been carried
on over the leaning towers of Bologna
and of Pisa, concerning the cause Of
their inclination, and there are equally
diverse opinions concerning that other
architectural popularity, John O'Groat's
house. This place has achieved world
wide reputation as the most northerly
habitation in Great Britain. 1t was built
about mile and half from the little
village of Reiss and right on the rugged
shores of the Pentland firth. in the OF.

Pastor Nicholson's Church Gets Charity's

After the Rev. Mr.. Nicholson had preached
a short sermon yesterday morning on the
duty of the people of the church, he an
that is, the money that had been sub
scribed to pay a $4,000 mortgage on the
church would be received.
A good amoent was collected at this ser
vice. and in the evening enough more was
added to enable the pastor and trustees to
take up the mortgage of 5000 today.
This will leave debt of $1,000 yet, but it
is believed that this will be lifted before
the expiration of two years. Mr.. Nichol-
son was greatly delighted when he learned
that the amount required Immediately
had been raised.
During the evening the pastor made a
very touching appeal in behalf of much
afflicted family living on the Hill He
said his attention had been called to it by
some friends, who assure him that the
head of the family, a hard working and
industrious clerk, had been out of EN-
ployment for eight months and during
nearly all that time his child had been
very i'll. The family were absolutely
destitute, but by the greatest economy
they had succeeded in paying their rent
until the past month. Then disposses

The nearly crazed Fallin then was
obliged to make known his destitution to
some friends, who spoke to Mr.. Nichol-
son about it. A neat sum-how much
the pastor declined to say, was raised and
the landlord was directed to call on Mr..
Nicholson today for his months rent.
During the afternoon temperance re-
vival was held instead of Sunday school
and nearly 200 persons signed the pledge.

THREE MEN ARRESTED.
The Keg of Beer That Drowned
Young George Freitag.

William Shaffel, John Ryan, and vii
liam Frazer were in Police Justice Wan
ser's Court this morning They were
ostensibly held as witnesses to the cir.
cumstances attending the drowning OF
George Freitag, the twenty-six year old
son of saloon Keeper Freitag of Newark
avenue and Fourth street. but possible as
principals to a charge of homicide.
Frazer and Ryan reside on West Side
and Lexington avenues, in the Bergen
district. Yesterday afternoon they carried
a keg of beer to Goose's boat house on the
Hackensack River and hiring boat went
out upon the water with it. Near the
Delaw are, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad bridge they met a boat with
Shaffel and two companions in it.
The bear came into controversy, and in
q moment or TWO both boats were cap
sized and all six men were thrown into
the water. Freitag was the only one OF
the six who was unable to swim. Ryan
went to his aid. Ryan says that the
frightened man seized him around the
lower limbs and held him SO firmly that
there was danger that he would have to
go under too, and he was forced, to save
his own life, to kick him off. So it hap
pened, he says, that FFeitag was drowned
The police have q suspicion that either
Ryan and his party quarreled over the
beer between themselves, or that the
party in the other boat quarreled with
them, and that the drowning was the re
suit. So the three men were taken into
custody

CHICAGO, July l. 1SS9.-Luke Dillon left
the city. last evening for his home in
Philadelphia. The Nears this morn
ing says - Mr. Dillon has been
very much disgruntled of late over the
developments in the Cronin case especially
that part of it which showed SO clearly
that Cronin's death was decreed by the
Clan-na-Gael. This was the last straw.
For some time the police have entirely
ignored Dillon, and have had little faith
in his protestations that he was assisting
in ferreting out the Doctors murderers.
There are very many who firmly believe
that the chairman of the Executive
Committee. of the Clan-na-Gael. came
to and remained in Chicago for no
other purpose than to defend the
Clan-na-Gael and to do all in his power to
keep the real facts of the conspiracy rom
coming out if they tended to show that
the society murdered Cronin.

Allg the evidence the judge or magis-
trate presiding requires in Burke's, as in
any other case where eXtradition is re-
quested, is that which would justify him
in committing him for trial had the crime
been committed in Canada.

MRS. DANIELSON'S MONEY.
James Earle Holds SO, 900 Which NJ
Danielson Wants.

James Earle Holds $4,000 Which Mr..
Danielson Wants.
Mrs. Danielson, the unfortunate wife of
William Henry Danielson, who com
mitted suicide by drowning herself in a
washtub on Wednesday, was buried in
the Grove Church Cemetery yesterday af-
ternoon.
The sad tale of her life was told in THE
JERSEY CITY NEWS on Saturday, and as
her remains We're lowered into the earth
more than one eye was dimned with tears.
1t has since transpired that Mrs. Daniel
son possessed considerable property.
She came to New Durham last Tuesday,
the day before her death, and left
four bank books testifying to
deposits for $1,000 in the
hands of James Earle, the keeper of
the New Durham Town Hall, and re-
quested him to keep them until she should
call for them, but instructed him also, no
matter what should happen to her, on no
account to give them to her husband.
Mr.. Danielson got an inkling of this
Earle for the money.
Earle, remembering Mrs. Danielson's
wishes, refused to surrender the books. tits
said that Mrs. Danielson has relatives VIII O
during her separation from her husband,
treated her with the greatest kindness,
and it was her wish that they should re-
ceive the money after her death.
Earle is infieXible and Danielson could
not move him. The case will go to the
courts.

first annual reunion on July at the club

STREETS TO Be CLEAN.
The Mayor Says the Work
Must Be Done Thor
oughlY.
AND IT WILL BE DONE QUICKLY.
So Says The Newly Appointed Street
superintendent Philip Tum-
ulty.

asked the Mayor this morning when
his Board of Streets and Water Commits
sioners were going to clean the streets.
He said that that was too general ques-
tion to answer. He, however, said:-
II have urged upon the new Board a
vigorous enforcement of the contrast to
clean the streets. They this morning ap-
pointed Mr.. Jumulty q superintendent for
that purpose. am met with the state
ment that the appropriation is not large
enough to cover the thorough clean
ing of all of the streets, and
have contended that such streets as
are cleaned at all should be cleaned thor
oughly, so thatsome of the leading streets
shall at least be made clean. The con-
tractor is paid SO much mile for clean
ing, that is to say, if he were to clean one
mile in sgiven street ten times during
the year he would be paid for ten miles of
work under his contract.
$50 that you will see that it becomes a
question of how many miles of streets
can be cleared for the appropriation made.
and you will now understand why I try
to insist on the work being thoroughly
done, SO far as it goes, because we should
pay just as much for poor work as we
should for good work.
THERE WILL BE NO DELAY.
Street Commissioner Tumulty could not
tell this morning just where he should
begin.
"The streets all over the city cry out for
attention." said he, "but / do not know
where the beginning will be made, either
i n cleanin or in repairing. Some kind of
start will probably be made,
but it is impossible to say
just where shall have
conference with Mr.. Dugan this after
noon, and we shall determine just what
to do. 1t is hard work to tell what ought
to be done first The down town streets
ought to be cleaned without the delay of
day, and no time should go by before
the pavements are relaid, or, at the
very least, repaired in hundreds of places
in the city; sidewalks all over the town
need putting in order-but all of those
things cannot be done at once, even if we
had the money What we can do will be
done, and done without the delay of a
moment more than is absolutely necessary.

1t Is Going to be Great Resort for
Footlight Favorites.
Deal Beach is certainly as well situated
as any place on the Jersey coast, between
Elberon and Deal Lake which is nearly
two miles long, but the property seems to
be all in the hands of spectators who
want an immense price. There are only d
few cottages scattered among the fields.
The Hathaway House is the only hotel.
This opened only few days ago, and has
among its present guests James NJ. Rider

Since Mr.. and Mrs. George S. Knight
took their cottage at Loeb Arbor, which
is on the Asbury Park end of Deal Lake,
their cottage has been a rendezvous for
all the theatrical people located tempor-
arily in the vicinity.
Nicholas Loritz, the rich manager and
actor, has made up his mind that there is
something about Deal that makes it prob
ably the future popular resort with the
favoriteS of the footlights. Perhaps it is
sack the woods for flowers and wild
strawberries. So Mr.. Loritz has in con-
temptation the erection of large hotel.

year-old chap, who said that he resides at
No. 1860 Bergen avenue. was arrested in
New York yesterday on q charge of
having got s95 from Mrs. Elizabeth
Gibbons, of 130 West Forty-Seventh street,

band is suing her for divorce, and she
employed a detective agency on East
dence for q cross-suit against
him. Saturday, Hennemeyer, who
is employed by the agency, wrote
to the woman to meet him, to learn the
result of his enquiries and to come pro-
vided with $25. She met him and paid
him the money. She learned afterward
that he was not authorized to collect the
money and that he had not handed it
over to his employers, and caused his ar
rest.
When arrested Hennemeyer admitted
that he had collected the S25 from Mrs
Gibbons without authority and had re-
tanned possession of the money to pay
received any remuneration. He
said that he had been in the
employ of the agency for nearly three
months and had not received any pay dur
ing that time. On being employed he had
paid SIS for badge, which he had not re-
ceived. Justice Ford committed him for
examination and in default of bail he
was locked up. When Secretary Over

peared in court he had on
the trousers of the suit which
had been purchased by Hennemeyer with
the money obtained from Mrs. Gibbons
He was told that he had no right to ap-
propriate the trousers and was ordered to
turn them over to the property clerk
with the rest of the suit to await the out
come of the case,
