wanted-A working Mayor.

Wanted-A Working Mayor.
One serious question for the public
to decide in connection with the
Mayoralty campaign is the amount
and kind Of service that may be ex-
pected from the two candidates.
Mr.. Perkins is a business man in
active business life. He is the head
of a large paper mandatory, and it's
concerns at any time take up his en-
tire life. In fact he has long been an
overworked man, just through caring
for the details of his great establish
ment.
Now, 1t is fair to ask, what is he
going TO give Jersey City if he should
be electedP
VIII he give it the remnant of his
over occupied business hours? If so,
how?
Will he give up his sleep to itY
Hardly
VIII he surrender his private bust
ness interests9 Win he set aside
affairs of his firm to look after the
concerns of Jersey City. in which he
takes at best but q languid interest?
We hardly believe he will.
This must certainly be said for
Mayor Cleveland, that he gives him
self up to his Office. Early and late,
six days a week, he is to be found in
his chair at the City Hall. No bank
president, no railway official is more
punctual and unfailing in his attend
ance than Mr. Cleveland has always
been to his public duties. He has
been at his Office for business, too, and
few persons who had public business
to transact have ever failed of early
and speedy access to him.
The affairs of this city really require
attention Of this kind. They are
voluminous in bulk, complicated in
detail. No private concern, however
great, deals in so much money, so
many classes of goods, has so many
employees, Or deals with so many 5
toners as the city, and it is absurd to
suppose that less care and attention
than the President of a private COM
pany would bestow upon it's affairs
viii suffice to transact those of the
city. Z
The city is a bigger financial con-
Germ than any bank within its limits.
1t is the biggest buyer in the COM
munity. 1t has more complaints to
receive and more people to please
than any other concern. And the
Mayor is in fact the President, the
executive business head of this great
business concern
Assuredly in this aspect of the case
we have little to hope from Mr. Per-
kins, while Mayor Cleveland has
demonstrated his devotion to the
work of the position in whichshe has
been placed by the people. : : e ~ le
Let us glance a moment al, one pa
ticular aspect of the case, There are
over three thousrnd@warrants to he
signed every month, by which the
taxpayers money is paid away IL
the excellentproposition Of Mr.. Cleve-
land is realized, and.the city employes
are paid twiceba month, the number

There are two ways OF signing these.
One is the way of a man who has
other weighty business to occupy his
time and attention-a hasty scrim-
mage with a pen and it is
done. The other way is the
way Of the careful servant Of the pub.

\ Dangerous Performance.

1t has become he fashion of our lead
ing actresses t. buy their wardrobe in
Europe; for oar managers to import
actors and plays. Whole troups of vau-
deville artists are touring America, and
some Of the lately imported performers,
known as the CradocS, styling them
selves Roman aXc-men, perform featS If
not foohardy in their dangerOuSneSS,
would be considered marvellous. They
use SeVeal sizes of axes, made to resemble
the old style of Roman battle-aXeS, and
a block of hard wood about eighteen or
twenty inches square. The edges of the
axes are very sharp. They begin by
twrling and juggling two, three and four
of the smaller axes much the same as
experts handle Indian clubs, except the
axes are kept flying through the air, the
performer standing on the block OF
wood. Suddenly he throws all the axes
high in the air. Descending rapidly
each separate axe burieS its blade in
the block Of wood, barely missing the
person Of one of the performers. As
long as the bright blades are flashing
through the air the. sight Is quite
pretty: but when they throw them,
striking in such close proximity to the
person that not hairs breadth seems
to intervene, it looks as if the per-
Torrance was to risky to be entertain
ing. They are under engagement to
Al. q. Field X Co.'S MinStrelS for the
coming season. The advertisements
claim they are real Roman aXe-men.
OF this we cannot certify, but that
their performances are startling enough
to satisfy the most morbid craving for
the sensational, we are certain.

ALLHOUSE CAPTURED.
Officer Lukens Runs Down and Locks Up
Dangerous Character.

Thursday evening Officer Lukens
went up to Pittsburgh armed with pa
pers upon which to secure the arrest of
w. L. Allhouse, the railroad man, for
merly of Pittsburgh, but lately en-
ployed by one OF the local railroad
companies, on the charge of abducting
year-olj girl, a daughter of
Mrs. J. X. Kendrick, OF No. 100 Fiji
tieth street 1t will be remembered by
readers of the REGISTER that on the
evening of October /, AllhOuse and the
girl disappeared and were supposed to
have eloped, Mrs. Kendrick complaining
to the police. Later Alhouse or some OF
his friends stated that he had
not elopcd. but had simply taken the
girl to relatives in Allegheny, as she
was badly treated here by her mother.
Mrs. Kcndrick, on the contrary, said
the girl, had no relatives in Allegheny,
and Swore out the warrant under which
Officer Lukens acted. Yesterday even
ing Officer Lukens telegraphed Chief
Delbrugge that he had arrested All
house. who refused to come down with
ont a requisition. He was Instructed TO
have the prisoner locked up as a fugi-
tive from justice, and to come on back
to Wheeling, when requistion papers
would be obtained and the prisoner
brought here. This case will prove an
interesting one when it comes to trial.

Yesterday evening two young ana IN
tellgent girls, ore quite pretty quau
room and the other much darker as TO
comnlevion. called at the Office OF JUS
tice Davis. and after giving their names
as Lilly Wilson and Georgia Jackson
the former resident of Bellefont, Pa,
and the latter from Detroit, Mich, but
visiting relatives at PittSburg at pres
ent. they told little story of deception
with presumably criminal intent which
ought to serve as a warning TO others.
The girls said that last Saturday they
met Josephine Boyd in PittSburg ana
were informed by Josephine that she
was running large dress-making es-
tablishment In this city and needed
more help. If the two girls would
come down, she would engage to pay
them five dollars a week and their
board. The girls said they
would come, and accordingly
left for this city, arriving about ten
o'clock Saturday night. They went to
Josephine mouse, OH icHth S'i Wv
where they were given a place to sleep
in downstairs room. The girls stayed
at the house over Sunday, not suspect
ing its nature, and Monday morning
they asked when they were to 60 to
work. Josephine gave them an evasiye
answer, and the girls sat around the
house until Monday night. There was
a ball at Market hall that night, and the
girls having, nothing to do, asked Jo-
sephine if they could go to the dance.
This made Jose phine mad, according to
the girls story, and after more or less
stormy time in the house, she fired
them both out at four o'clock Tuesday
morning, while it was raining pitch
forks. The girls had no place to go,
aud no money, but they found shelter
until last night, when, by the advice OF
colored lady they were stopping with,
they went TO Justice Davis and told the
story. The girls added that they no.
ticed there were good many men
about the house, but suspecting moth
ing, they thought little about it. They
said they would be satisfied if Josephine
would pay them money enough to pur-
chase tickets for Pittsburg again, and
after a general talk about the matter
concluded to delay swearing out a war
rant for Josephine until to-day.
