the following proclamation
dAYoR's OFFICE, Cry HHLL,

MAYORS OFFICE, CRY HILL,
JERSEY CITY, June 3, 1889.
The terrible calamity at Johnstown and other
places in the Conemaugh Valley calls for an i'm
mediate response from the generous people OF
Jersey City. Let our hands follow the first i'm
pulses of our hearts and give prompt aid to the

thousands are dead. Johnstown itself is almost
entirely destroyed by the vast food that poured
over it, and whole villages have been swept
away Families are ruined; some are dead, and
some are left in suffering for food, shelter and
clothing.
Every part of the United States will be aroused
to sympathy and substantial aid by the tale of
horror that has gone over the country.
The citizens of Jersey City are invited to meet
at the Academy of Music tomorrow evening at
eight O'Clock for the purpose of taking such steps
as viii give the earliest and most substantial re-
lief to thosel stricken people. A committee viii be
organized for future action.

ESTIMATES FOR STREET PAVING.


Joint Meeting Last Evening of the Hoard
aud tho Committees.
A Joint session Of the Committees or
Streets, Alleys and Grades,and WharVes
and the Board Of Public Works, wal
held last nightat City Hall with the fol-
lowing members present; Harrell
Brandfass, Bailey, Handlan, Robinson
Capps, Kreiter, Robrecht, Gavin, Rum
BILE, Happy, SchmulbaCh, John RobreCht
and i. j. Park.
Chairman Brandiass, Of the Commit
tee on Streets, Alleys and Grades, oCcu'
pied the chair.
The meeting was called to give the Fl.
nance Committee an estimate OF the
moneys needed for street improvements
for the coming year, Petitions were
read from taxpayers who lived on un.
paved streets. Every street and alley In
the city yet unpaved was covered by a
resolution presented. After the reading
OF these numerous resolutions the dis.
cussion commenced. A suggestion was
made that the city engineer make IN
estimate upon all the work that was
asked for, but after an informal discus.
sion 1t was dismissed on the ground that
It would cost too much, as they
could not expect the Finance Committee
to give them money to do about $780,
600 work. Councilman Harrell said he
would like to know where this money
was To be spent. He claimed that the
Fifth and Sixth wards got more than
their share Of tho money last year, and
that he did not intend 10 let them have
their quota and have the Board OF Pub.
lie Works spend the $4,000 still In the
contingent fund In the SAME wards.
He was reminded that the committee
that he was member OF had no right 10
say what should DO done with the con.
tingcnt fund, as that belonged 10 tho
Board, and they could dispose OF 1t as
they saw 1T. Mcssrs. Gavin, Handlan,
Kreiter and Bailey took up the question,
and denied that they received more
money in the Fifth and Sixth wards than
did the other wards,
Mr.. Kreiter was anxious that MCCol.
Loeb street be paved so that numerous
manufactures could be benefited. Mr..
Harrell stated that he would vote for the
Improvement Of any street by which
manufacturers would be benefited. The
only thing that he wanted was an equal
division Of the money In the different
wards, and that all the money should
not go "over the waters" as he termed
the South Side.
A motion was carried that the Board
make an estimate on tho streets and al.
leys that needed improvement the most,

Miss Harrison.
One OF the most notable afternoon re-
ceptions OF the season was given by Mrs.
]. w. Grub at the residence OF her
mother, Mrs. L. s. Delaplain, on Chap
line street, yesterday.
The house, elegant in all It's appoint
ments, beautiful In It's ornamentGtion
and furnishings, was made unusually
attractive by lavish floral decoration,
tho bay windows in the hall, parlor and
dining room filed with palms and
azaleas, grouped around elaborate stand.
ing lamps, which, by means Of tinted
shades, delicately lighted these banks OF
verdure, while throughout the rooms
roses, carnations and smilax filled every
available niche.
The parlor, library and dining.room
wero thrown en- suite, the whole effect
beinggreatly enhanced by the soft light OF
wax candles from the numerous sconces
and candelabra. Mrs. Delaplaine's well
known reputation as q hostess seemed to
have prompted the visitors to their best
efforts in dress, and no higher compli-
ment could be paid them than to say that
the costumes were worthy Of the occa-
sion.
In the main parlor the hostesses were
aided in receiving by Mesdames r.
NJ. Delaplaine, X. Il. Swope, I. O. Moi
iatt, W. W. Arnett, Miss Perran and
Miss Birdie Harrison, OF Piedmont, in
whose honor the entertainment was
given; while in the dining.room Mrs.
Thornton presided at the coffee, Miss
Maude EcCles al the tea and Miss Amy
