Two sides to the story.

Michael Hughes, respectable looking
middle-aged man, with black side whisk-
ers, was a prisoner in Justice Stilsing's
court this morning. He was arrested by
Patrolman Cannon, of the Second pre-
cinct, at the instance Of his wife and son,
who claimed that ne had suddenly turned
up after long absence from home, and
was annoying them with drunken abuse.
Mr.. Hughes was locked up last night.
This morning he denied that he had
taken drop of liquor in seven months.
He produced document showing that he
was yesterday discharged from a New
York hospital after seven months CON
finement with skin disease. When he
called at his home on Ninth street last
evening his wife and children, he said, re-
fl sed TO recognize him.
He said he then asked for his working
clusnes, as he proposed to go to work at
his trade as an engineer in the Erie ma
chine shops at Bergen. They refused
him even these, and he became quarrel
some. Patrolman Cannon says Hughes
was sleeping off drunken stupor when
he made the arrest. However. the Judge
discharged him. as neither the wife nor
son appeared to make the complaint.

PURSUED BY FLAMES.
Dreadful Peril of a Woman
and Several Children in
a Newark Avenue
Dwelling.

About half-past nine o'clock last even
ing, Just after many Of the stores had
closed, pedestrians in the vicinity of the
cries of women and children from the
upper windows of No. So Newark avenue.
Smoke was seen issuing from the win
dows, and some of the pedestrians hastily
pulled the nearest fire alarm.
Others excite dly rushed up the steps to
the apartments over Bscker's furniture
store, the first floor of which is occupied
by Prison Keeper Alex Watson and his
six children, and his son-in-law, Mr.. Far
rell. There a scene of the widest confu-
sion reigned. In one of the rear rooms
an exploded lamp had set fire to the sur
roundings and the flames were roaring
and Kissing through the doors, and lap
ping the bed clothing and carpets in their
mad rush towards the front rooms, in
which were several small children scream
Ing with terror
One had raised The front window and
was calling for help from the crowd be-
low, which had by this time become an
excited mob filed with horror at the
scene.
ON THE wINDOwsILL.
A middle ageu woman, Mrs. Bennett,
an occupant of the third floor, who found
the way leading below filled with smoke,
climbed out of one of the front windows
and remained poised on the win
dow ledge, between thirty and
forty feet above the pavement. She was
about to drop when some one from a sec
ond story window yelled to her to keep
back as the f1remen were.putting ladder
for her.
The ladder was soon in position, and
Truckman Brown and Doyle, of No.
Truck, and Fireman Dingler, Of No. 8
Engine, climbed the ladder with agility
and rescued the woman from her perilous
position amid the wild cheering of the ex-
cited multitude. Engines No. /, Q, 3 and
4. and Nos l and 2 Trucks were all on
time, bnt the flames had been pretty we'll
subdued by q chemical extinguisher.
Another OF the femme occupants of the
third floor, Mrs. Keenan,, had climbed out
on an adjoining roof and was rescued by
the ffremen.
DAMAGED BY THE CHEMICALS.
Mr.. Watson estimates his loss at nearly
81 900, as he says number of valuable
pictures and other delicate furniture
were ruined by the chemicals used in the
streams which subdued the flames On
this there was not cent of insurance
The damage to the building was slight.
Mr. Watson and his eldest daughter,
Mrs Farrell, were visiting on the Hill at
the time. The children have not yet
sufficiently recovered from their fright to
give an Ineligible story concerning the
explosion of the lamp.

THE RACETRACK BILL.
The race track bill also came up in the
Senate, and had a prettyshard time Of it
while the powerful lobby, which is here
In It's support, suffered untold agonies In
the cloak rooms. The bill was on second
reading
The committee offered an amendment
extending the time for racing to sixty
days racing on each track and to permit
Pheffer took highly moral ground and
opposed the amendment, claiming that
the. bill, as it stood, was all right, but
with bookmaking added, was infamous
lie also paid his respects to Senator Gard
ner who, he said, had declared that he
was opposed to the bill on account Of its
wickedness. but who now came forward
with far more iniquitous amendments
Mr.. Gardner, in reply, said that If the
State and the race track people deemed it
wise to go into partnership TO make
money by taxing the receipts of the race
track, and if they were supported by
some of the moral eiemsnt, he dsa not
see why they should not be permitted to
make every dollar that was possible by
legalizing book making.
He was opposed TO the bill anyhow, and
he intimated in reply to q question from
Mr.. Pfeffer that he had offered his
amenpments simply to kill the bill.

amendments and hoped that they could
not be adopted. His hope was realized,
and then DR.. Roe moved to indefinitely
postpone the measure.
This was lost and Mr.. Martin moved
that the rules be suspended and the bill
be placed upon its final passage. DR.. Hoe
and Senator Gardner objected, and the
night.
BILLS PASSED.
The bill giving the Sinking Fund Com
missioners a salary of $500 passed the Sem
ate. Another measure of Importance to
Jersey City which went through was the
bill which, permits the governing bodies
in first class cities, where q property
owner refuses to do SO, to repair sidewalks
and makes the cost thereof lien upon
the property.
The bill which permits railroad COM
panies to collect from consignors of
freight a reasonable charge per day for
detention of cars occasioned by con-
signees being unknown or refusing to
take the goods away and the measure
providing for state weather bureau also
went through.
PURIEIcATIoN NEEDED.
The Democratic Investigating Commit
tee can't get to Camden too quick. Some
thing is needed there to purify the politi-
cal atmosphere. In the early part of the
session the Legislature passed q bill CIV
ing the Camden Board OF Aldermen pow
er to issue s., ,OOO, 600 of bonds for the pur-
pose of building new water works. Last
evening Senator Pfieffer introduced bill
repeating that law. 1t is said the people
of Camden are not willing to trust the
expenditure of that vast sum to the pres
ent Republican Aldermen.
The committee decided this morning to
begin taking testimony in Atlantic City
at noon on Friday. The Committee has
selected no counsel yet, as they do not
know that they need any. 1t has learned
that all the poll lists in Atlantic City have
been destroyed.

BULLDOZE VOTERS.
Infamous Circular Issued

An infamous and revolutionary scheme

This, of course, is clear violation of
the constitution, and specific laws pro-

The threat is in the last clause of the cir

to ask q citizen how he voted.

Reorganization Yesterday--The Mayors

Roseate Message.
Several hundred Bayonnese gathered
in the Bayonne City Hall last evening
and saw both of the municipal boards of
that city for 1s90-91 effect an organization.
When City Clerk Hamilton called the roll
of the new Board of Councilmen each of
the ten City Fathers responded to his
name.
Councilman Sanford renominated
Councilman John w. Goddard for presi-
dent and he was elected to his fourth
term by vote of seven to three. Then
Councilman Melgs nominated William @.
Hamilton for City Clerk, and that genial
official, by vote of nine to one, was
chosen to his twentieth year in the posi-
tiop.
Upstairs the fifteen school trustees got
Trask was renominated for President OF
the Board OF Education and reelected to
his third term by unanimous
vote. Before the Board of
Councilmen adjourned Councilman VIM
G. Farr took occasion to thank his friends
for a handsome basket of flowers that
adorned his desk. Mayor Newman's s
matter referred for consideration.
The financial condition OF the munich
pality the Mayor claims to be remarkably
satisfactory, and shows that the Total
bonded indebtedness of the city is
81, ,504, 500 against 1881 800 year
ago. Between May /, 1890, and
January /, 1891, $140, 500 worth of bonds
will mature, and he hopes to have the
amount paid without any reissue OF
bonds. He deems the Martin Act Com
mission an expensive luxury. Some Of
the departments of the city governments
he alleges, are conducted in very un-
businesslike manner.
He shows that the Water Department
however, is a paying investment, and APP
plauds the policy Of only extending the
mains in accordance with the profits. SO
that not dollar is added to its in
debtedness. Last year the receipts
were $6Y, 5000. and the disbursements
SAG. 760. 81 OF the balance, SIS 232 IA was
paid out for new extensions, which will
add considerably to the revenue. He be-
lieves the Police and Fire Departments to
be efficient. the peace being preserved,
crime being held in check and the com
munity being free from severe losses bY
fire. The school facilities are considered
worthy Of admiration and the Board Of
Education perfectly able to cope with
educational matters. He urges the ad-
visibility Of having one or part of one OF
the county parks located within the city
limits, and asks for cooperation to that
purpose.

Pastor Eihrich win Re Deposed d,

Sixty members of the German Lutheran
Church of Hoboken met last night to take
action in relation to Pastor Eihrich. The
pastor married a divorced woman and
since that time the congregation has done
its utmost to get rid of him, but he per-
sisted in remaining. He claimed that his
resignation from his present charge
would be, according to the law of the
German Lutheran Church, a resignation
from the church entirely.
The church members looked up the
church law on this point and found moth
ing to sustain the pastor in his present
position.
Although the Philadelphia Faculty de-
cided that the pastor had not violated
any laws of the church in marrying q
divorced woman, the church members
say they do not want him in charge and
have begged him to send in his resigna-
tion
AT the meeting last night the Port
Jervis Conference Committee was pres
ent
Pastor Eihrieh was asked to resign. He
said he could not, as it would deter him
from exercising power as a pastor else
where, and said ne could not leave unless
he had & call call ffrrens some other church.
The Port Jervis Conference said that such
was not the law. A ballot was then
taken, and it was almost unanimously de-
cided 10 depose the pastor at the expira-
ton Of three months.
