HENRY GEORGES TRIUMPH.
All England Listens to Him with Re-
spect-Trouble in Egypt.
[By Gable to the United P,ess.l


by Gable to the United Pressl
LONDON, April %, 1889. The wonderful
success which Mr.. Henry George has
achieved during his lecturing of England,
Scotland and Wales has attracted the at
tention of a great many people who hith-
erto have given little or no attention to
the land question, and his speeches have
had an immense amount of influence
upon the political situation. therefore, the
theories of Mr.. George have been pre-
sented to the masses in Great Britain
in a way calculated to expose them to
ridicule, but, whether they merit itor not,
they are now receiving their full share of
public consideration from the point of
view of knowledge and appreciation.
Mr., Georges tour of Scotland next
week is looked forward to by the residents
of the places in which he is advertised to
speak with more than ordinary interest,
and even the opponents of his ideas pre-
dict for him q measure of success far be-
yond that obtained by any politico-
economic lecturer who has in many years
addressed the people of the territory he
proposes covering.
The news that party of Egyptian 8
building fort has been attacked, beaten
and driven on board a steamer by Sou
danese Arabs is seized upon by the advo-

sufficient reason why the British Govern
ment should reoccupy Egypt and avenge
the death of General Gordon by the re-
possession of Khartoum. Why the British
should go back to country
which has never been of the slightest
benefit to them, but which has involved
them in no end of trouble and which they
are happily rid of, is not made quite clear
by these partisans of the extension OF
English supremacy, unless it may be
assumed that they regard the conserva-
tion of the interests Of army contractors
as of paramount Importance.
The strike Of the carmen in Vienna is
becoming very serious. Already many
persons have been injured in the collisions
which have taken place between the
strikers and the police, and the trouble
threatens to extend to the inclusion of
workmen of other occupations than that
of those now engaged in the strike. The
fact that the strikers are receiving the as
sistance of the socialists renders the dan
ger of the extension and prolongation
of the trouble much greater.

QUEER LICENSE QUESTIONS.
They Came Up Because of the Arrest OF
Sa1oonkeeper Kennedy.

They Came Up Because of the Arrest of
Saloonkeeper Kennedy.
There was general want of the observ-
ance of the Sunday law by liquor
dealers of the city yesterday, On the
Heights-in the section around the Ele-
vator-the beer gardeners, encouraged by
the refusal of the grand jury to act against
Mrs Pohlman, whose arrest for permit
ting music and beer in her garden on the
Sabbath, was accomplished two weeks
ago, entertained all comers at their vari-
GUS places. The police did not make any
interference with them.
There is no use of our pulling these
places,n Chief of Police Murphy said this
morning, IF the Grand Jury refuse to
entertain complaints. So yesterday we
contented ourselves with securing evil
dence against these people, and will place
the proofs in Prosecutor Winfield's hands
If the Grand Jury indict them the Prose
cutor's officials know where to find the
offenders We shall continue to follow
this course as long as the Grand Jury re-
mains in session."
A new departure, and yet it may be an
old one, was made by the police yesterday
in the arrest of Saloonkeeper John Ken
nedy, of No. 346 Henderson. Kennedy has
license to sell liquor. But it does not
authorize the sale of liquor on Sunday; it
Ilie Sdl0 VI llQlOT on
Sunday. Therefore, conStructively, a sale
of liquor ON Sunday is a sale of liquor
without license. This is violation of a
city ordinance that the police courts can
punish without the Intervention of the
Grand Jury.
Kennedy was arraigned on this charge
this morning, and the matter was laid
over till next Saturday morning.
Justice Stilsing says he is of the belief
that some time ago similar question was
raised, and that the courts, on certiorari,
held that, as the saloonkeeper was answer
able for the larger offence of keeping a
disorderly house, the smaller offence was
merged In it, and that he should have
been held to await the action of the Grand
Jury.
Another question in Kennedy's case is
as to the right of the Board of Aldermen
to transfer license from one man to an
other and from one place to another
Kennedy is operating under license that
authorized another man to do business at
another place.

A GREAT SALE OF NEoKWEAR.

W. N. Baron Did Third More Business
Saturday Night Than He Did Last Year.
VIII Baron is in clover.
He did more business on Saturday
night than he ever did before, except at
Christmas.
The sales at his store, No. 6 Newark
avenue, were one-third larger than they
were for Easter eve last year.
And it was all in neckties, and scarfs,
and bows, and other kinds of adornment
for the throat.
Collars and cuffs galore, good many
shirts, the regular trade in underwear and
suspenders; a few more umbrellas and
canes than usual-these were for Easter
gifts-and boom in silk handkerchief
these were what made up the sales.
But the vast bulk of it is walking about
the streets of Jersey City on the necks of
the young men.
1t must not be forgotten that year ago,
when Mr., Baron's sales were not so large
by third as they are this year-right
straight along, not alone on Easter Eve

THE SMALL POTATO CLUB.
Its Shanty Raided and Its Property
Taken by the Police.

Its Shanty Raided and Its Property
Taken by the Police.
For long time gang of small
boys has been the terror of the
neighborhood of the car stables
on Bergen Hill. 1t had a head
quarters somewhere, but just where was
the question. The gang was in the ha bit
of stealing potatoes from the stores, and
in fact anything that the boys could lay
their hands on.
The men in the stable were 'pestered to
death'' with the antics of the "kids, who
played all sorts of practical jokes
upon them. At last the nuisance
became unbearable, and the mat
ter was reported to Captain
Newton, who "laid' for the gang, and To-
Gated it at the lot in the rear of the car
stables. Yesterday afternoon he made q
decent upon the hold of the,
young pirates, which he found
to be a well constructed building of sheet
tin. He found a lad sleeping on the floor
and he locked him up.
This morning the boy told Judge Wan
ser that his name was William Nolan,
and that the shanty was the
property of the Small Potato Base
ball Club. Captain Newton took squad
of policemen to the place and they demol-
ished it. They captured a number of ball
bats and other property of the club.

OKLAHAMA BANDITS.

PURCELL, Indian Ty., April %, 1882
Thousands of boomers poured into Pur-
cell yesterday. The situation assumed a
threatening aspect when the boomers be-
came aware that if every one that was in
Purcell got claim there would be but
little left forthe remainder who are canped
about the border This has caused hundreds
to leave for Oklahoma with the avowed
intention of entering and staying on the
land at all hazards. On the trains yester-
day came number of Texas desperadoes,
and their appearance in the city has caused
many of the better class to band them
selves together for self protection. A
meeting for this purpose was held and
some five hundred joined.
The following circular was ordered
printed, and is posted about the city,

town site sharks and claim jumpers will be dealt

The placard has caused the outsiders to
also band together, but in smaller num-
bers, and there will be but few who will
leave alone for Oklahoma to take claims
The chances for man entering
the Territory alone and holding good
claim are considered very slim. Dave
Hunt, a Texan, and one of the
founders of the League, said that the
placard meant business; that while they
should attempt to avoid trouble, still they
would protect their rights in every way,
and that a claim jumper would be shown
no mercy. All of the members are well
armed and will go into the Territory in a

DEATH OF +. Il. HOUGH.
One of Jersey City's Oldtime Athletes Is
Buried at Sea.
TVs..~.l, l., JaaI

One of Jersey City's Oldtime Athletes Is
Buried at Sea.
Fred Hough is dead.
One of the jolliest fellows that ever
lived in jersey City; Spider Phillips old
mate in pair-oared and double scull shell
races; runner who at one time bade fair
to be the champion quartermiler of the
United States, and one OF the
StauncheSt friends any man ever na0s Is
gone to his rest.
Fred was the life of every party he was
in, and was dearly loved by all his
associates.
He was member of the old Bergen
Rowing Association; then of the Crescent
Rowing Club; next OF the Wlnona Boat
Club, and last of the Hudsons. His vic
tories are written in the rowing annals OF
the country.
He was a bright boy -boisterous, and
full of animal spirits and his gaiety was
always infectious. There was never dull
crowd if Fred Hough was about.
But his broad smile and hearty laugh
will never be heard again.
He died at sea, off the coast of Brazil,
on board the steamship Advance, OF
which he was purser. While at Rio JAN
eiro he had an attack of remittent fever,
lasting from March % to March 30,
and it left him so exhausted, both
vitally and physically, that when his old
bronchial trouble made its appearance he
had not the requisite strength to rally.
The vessel was on her way to Para, aud
when the sick man died, at quarter past
eight on the evening of April 2. she was
within five miles of the port. She turned
about and put to sea.
The next day the solemn service OF the
Episcopal church was read, and his body
went to an eternal rest beneath the waves
of the Atlantic Ocean he had always
loved so dearly.
Fred had one fault-his heart was SO
biz and so full of affection that he could
never save any money.
He was thirty three years old November
90, and had been married for nine wears.
His wife was a daughter Of L. E. Wood.

"My husband,' she replied, ''before he
went to Europe, said he had some books
that he wanted me to give Mr.. Lessor.
When he called for them l was ironing,
and the books were on chair. He went
into the front room and took from his
pocket box of candy. He made over
lures to me and ordered him out of the
house. The children got the candy"
We'll, how about Webber"
SIT was the custom of Webbcr to come
to the house mornings to talk about beer
with my husband who is an agent for a
brewery, while Webber keeps a saloon.
He attempted violence one morning, but
got rid of him, and when my husband
saw me he was very angry and tried to
compel me to admit that / had done
wrong. l claim that this was a put-up
job to get rid of me. My husband wanted
me out of the way"
And about Schroeder2"
He was the same as Weber, and
pitched him out several times. My hus-
band was more intimate with Mrs. Meyers
than ever was with these men he accuses
me of having been.n

this true?n

why SHE WANTED TO DIE.
"What was the reason you cut your
wrist some time ago, Mrs. Winges?"
Because wanted to die. My husband
would have nothing to do with me after
his return from Germany, and tried to
take my life."
See, / have cut myself in three
places" and she exhibited the livid scars.
BILLY never said he would send me to
an asylum" she said, ''but he did say
he would buy me a house and if we
parted it would be as friends. He allows
me $25 a month and / pay So a month rent
for these rooms. I have hard work to
make out and-judge for yourself"
When she said this she produced q bag
filled with picked up fire wood which she
said she had gathered. This displeased
Mr.. Schipf. who told her she ought not to
say such things, even if they were true.
Mrs. Winges is woman who has not
the slightest indication of being young
and foolish. In her thirty-five years of
married life she has grown very stout and
unshapely, and her complexion is far from
what it was forty years ago.
When her story had been told she fin
ished the interview by exclaiming:-

stairway he fell to the bottom, receiving
in his fall severe scalp wound. He was
taken to the Grove street station, and had
his wound dressed by an ambulance sur
geon, who had been summoned from the

the building to investigate the accident.
He found no light in the hall and was
carefully feeling his way up the narrow
stairs when he slipped and fell to the bot
tom. He received bad cut over his left
eye and severely bruised his shoulder.
Upon investigating the cause of the
double accident it was found that it was
due TO the sharp turn in the stairs.
