A curious result of the work of a spe-
cies OF beetle WAS recently discovered in
a house in Portland, Me. Where two
matched boards came together in the
sheathing of a room, the rounded rib,
about the size of a lead pencil, for a
length of two feet and half, had been
replaced with what looked like porous
mass of fine sawdust, which was by
some means SO held together as to as
at one end of this, revealed small
tunnel under the surface, filed with

inches long, at the end of which was
a small and very active black beetle
busily engaged in literally eating his
way through lita. with an inexhaustible
supply of food in front. The ant is not
the bug-model of industry.

PLEASANT EXCURSIONS.
A List of Outings That Nav BE Had a
Moderate Expense.

A List of Outings That Nav BE Had at
Moderate Expense.
This is the season of the year when a
days excursion is not only pleasant, but
profitable, as an escape from the heat of
the city. Among the most agreeable of
these inexpensive pleasure trips are the
following
THE SEA BEACH RoUTE.-The pleasure
and advantage of trip to Coney Island
by the popular Sea Beach route have but
to be experienced to be appreciated.
Boats leave the foot of Whitehall street,
New York, half hourly-on Sundays
every twenty minutes-for Bay Ridge,
thence by rail to Brighton and West
Brighton Beach. The excursion fare is
40 cents and the pleasure seeker will
go quickly and comfortably.
AN ENJOYABLE SUNDAY TRIP.
dicks regular Sunday trips to Yonkers,
West Point and Newburg afford @ most
agreeable outing and are extremely popu-
lar. The sail uD the Hudson on the mag
nificent steamer st. Johns is particularly
enjoyable to family parties. Dittmar's s
full orchestra furnishes excellent music
throughout the trip, and a hotel restaur--
ant at popular prices is found on board
the boat.
Kastendiek's excursions have an estab-
lished reputation for the orderly manner
in which they are conducted. The boat
leaves Jersey City at S45 a. m, returning
before dark The fare for the round trip
to Newburgh and return is only so cents.
RoCKAwAY BEACH.-Among the nu-
merous nearby resorts, perhaps none
affords greater enjoyment than
Rockaway Beach with its magniti-
cent Accommodations and invigorating
sea air. The Grand Republic and Crys-
tai Wave, of the Knickerbocker Steam
boat Company, make three trips daily to
this popular watering place, the fare
being fifty cents for the round trip. A
complete time table of this well known
line, with Annex connections from Jersey
City will be found in another column.
SOUTH BEACH-One of the most popu-
lar summer resorts for Jersey City people
this season is South Beach, Staten island.
This charming bit of sea shore is just
coming into prominence and the popular
favor it is receiving is well merited.
Provided with every facility for days
healthful enjoyment, it is free from the
s'faxir' establishments and other dis
agreeable features which characterize
some of the older resorts. Boats leave
foot of Dey street, New York, every two
hours, from $3.50 q. m. to 7:30 p. m. Fare
for the round trip only 80 cents.

NEWARK, July 10, 1SS9.-It seems to be
quite evident that there are number of
unlicensed saloons in the city, but they
do not come under the head of "un-
licensed saloons" There are in the
neighborhood of 1,1o0 liquor dealers in
Newark. OF the 212 who were
licensed since January last all
but eighty come under the
old law previous to March 20,
1889, and have no right to sell, according
to City Counsel Coult's opinion. In addi-
ton to the eighty mentioned, 243 were
licensed since March 20. This leaves $50
violating the Werts bill Not more than
200 of these saloons can be closed under
the opinion of the brewers counsel; that
is. to continue in business by virtue of old
licenses unexpired. After taking these
out there are still left $50 who are selling
without any shade of law.

Not the stoddard Lectures.

For some time past a number OF agents
have been canvassing Jersey City with q
series of publications purporting to be the
illustrated lectures of John L. Stoddard
the celebrated lecturer on foreign travel
The works are being sold in instalments.
They are not genuine. A number of citi-
zens of this city showed periodicals which
they had purchased, to the Rev. E. L.
Stoddard, of St. Johns Episcopal Church,
who is brother of the lecturer, and
found they had been sadly duped. The
Rev. Mr.. Stoddard pronounced them
bogus, and said that his brothers works
are not sold in that manner.

THE NEW COUNTY ROAD.

The Court VIII Not Appoint an En-
gineer for Some Time.
On undeniable authority it was stated
yesterday that no engineer would be ap-
pointed to begin work on the new county
road until the Court of Errors has decided
the legality of the issue of bonds to build
the road with.
The Freeholders have claimed right
along that this would not be done. The
authority quoted above said yesterday
that if this is not done the Court will
probably not take any action, or at any
events, will not until the new Board of
Freeholders take Office this fall. The four
members of the Common Pleas Bench
have had one consultation over the ques-
ton and this opinion was unanimous.

Three small boys were arrested on the
morning of June l and charged with hav-
ing broken into the store of Julius Caesar

nue., and stealing several bottles of liquor.

liceman Lowry found Patrick Horan of
No. 165 Tenth street, unconscious from
drink in hallway at that number, and
Winfield Burkhardt, of No. It's Tenth
street, in q like condition on a stoop. Ev-
idence sufficient to warrant arrest was
found near them, and they implicated
Joseph Kenny, another boy, of No. 175
Tenth street.
The two unconscious boys, who are not
more than fourteen years old, were taken
to the Station House in wagon. Dur
ing the trial today they declared that they
were innocent and that two men had
given them the liquor, but the story was
disbeieved, and the jury convicted them

Kate King on the Rampage.

The notorious Kate King, who kept
the ''Hole in the Walp' so long at the cor
ner of Newark avenue and Seventh street,
went on the war path last night. 1t is
supposed that she got drunk and when
her husband got home she went for him
in true Amazon style. A fight was the
result and during its progress she gouged
him under the left eye with carving
fork, He went to the Third precinct and
then to the City Hospital.
She made good her escape and has not
vet been captured. One story says that in
order to escape she jumped from the New
ark avenue bridge and ran up the track,
but it cannot be verified.
King left the hospital this morning to
60 to court and make complaint, but he
did not so.

Won Kull.
The ferryboat Adams, owned by Troy
company, took fire last night at eleven
O'Clock and was partially destroyed. The
boat was moored at Port Richmond, S. l.,
near John H. Starins docks.

aboard the ferryboat, lamp in the cabin
exploded and set fire to the joiner work,
which soon blazed viciously. IG was not
extinguished until $4,000 damages had
been done.

Albany, caught fire, and much damage
was done. When the repairs were made
the boat was taken to Staten Island TO be
sold and it has been there moored to a
dock ever since. 1t was insured.

THE OPEN AIR CONCERT.
A Great Throng Listen to the Tabernacle
Band Last Night.

Band Last Night.
The Tabernacle Band entertained a
great throng of people at Van Worst
Square last evening. Bandmaster Boden
was in charge. Mr.. William H. Turner,
who controls the band to large extent,
says that in spite of all talk to the con-
traty. Bandmaster Boden will continue to
lead the band all through the summer.
He has made the band all it is, and will
not be disturbed.
1t is probably generally known that the
band players receive no pay for their SER
vices, but that their entertainments are
rendered without charge. The one cost
of their performance is that for sheet
music, and for the erection of the stand.
The families whose houses face the park
have generously consented to cover the
expenditures these incidentals make ne
cessary. The band is going to Ocean
Grove with the picnic of the Young Mems
Christian Association next Thursday, and
so the seventh of the series of concerts
will be given day late, Friday, July 10.
