Level o. the Earth.

The average level of the solid earth has
been calculated by DR.. John Murray to he
1,400 fathoms below sea level; but more
recent explorations show greater ocean
depths, according to DR.. H. r. Mill, and
a mean sphere level at a depth of LOO
fathoms. That is, all the land above the
level of 1,70O fathoms beneath the sea
would have to be filled into the greater
depths in order to give equal height to all
parts OF the solid earth.-New York Telc.

Rathjen happened along in time to catch
the horses head as it was about to enter
the window, and Max drove to the station
house with the sergeant beside him. Max
looked rather rocky" this morning.

Mike Barrett's Friends
Make Charges Against
Hoboken's City At
torney.

The friends Of Michael Barrett, who
are legion in the First and Third wards
OF the Ninth district, in Hoboken, are out
and injured. Some weeks ago Barrett
announced himself as candidate for
Freeholder in this district, and started
out to fill out the petition required by
the new law, and secure the necessary sig
natures. He asked Assistant City Clerk
kirschner to draw the petition, but Mr..
kirschner advised him to get lawyer
and Corporation Attorney Minturn was
consulted.
the County Board of Registration and
has always been noted for his fair and
upright dealings as a lawyer. He drew
the petition and Barrett hustled for the
necessary signatures. He had no trouble
IN securing them and the petition was
duly filed with the County Clerk.
Yesterday Barrett's petition was re
turned to him with the information that
It was Imperfect in many ways, and that
it did not comply with the law at all. AS
the time for the filing of new petition
had passed Barrett was practically out of
the race TO say that he was indignant
would be putting IL mildly. The petition
was brought back to Mr.. Minturn's office,
where at once the defect was noticed II
was glaring one. The lawyer had
drawn it for the election of freehoier,
whereas he should have drawn it for q
vacancy in the Board of Freeholders. It
will be remembered that the election in
the Ninth district is to fill the unexpired
term of the late James Kenney.
Mr.. Minturn professed to be heartily
sorry for the error. Unfortunately for
all parties Mr.. Minturn is openly charged
by some of the more hotheaded of Bar
rett's friends with having purposely
drawn the petition in such a way as TO
have it thrown out in Mike Coyle's inter-

SHE'S NO COMMON SC0LD.
The Jury Probably Acquitted Her
Because They Thought Her
an Uncommon Scold.

Mrs. Magdelina Budirus, an energetic
looking, black-eyed woman, so years old,
was tried in the General Sessions Court
yesterday afternoon on an Indictment
for being common scold. The COM
plainant, ex-Assemblyman John Dwyer,
of Guttenburg, was backed up by
his wife and five children. Mr.. Dwyer
testified that to his sincere re-
gret he and Mrs Budirns were
neighbors. He declared that the
defendant was an awful woman, and
had called him thief, liar and
scoundrel many times. She had made
the lives OF himself and family most
miserable, and he appealed to court n for
protection in sheer despair, for nothing
else but death could stop the awful clat-
ter of the defendants tongue.
CALLED HER AN OLD MAID.
Mrs. Dwyer and the FIVE young Dwy-
ers corroborated the old politician. and
then Miss Lizzie Wally. a pert young
woman of seventeen years was called.
II couldn't pass Mrs. Budirus unless
she abused me-" she said. "She once
called me an old maid, exclaimed Lizzie,
"and amt one, am II
The jury looked as if they agreed with
her, and then Carrie Bossy told the Court
what ''horrid womann Mrs. Budirus
scold the Dryers, adding "and when she
scolds she scolds awfully hard"
Urick Beucke testified to the same line
of abuse, and declared Mrs. Budirus used
bad language. "She once called me a
gray-haired ass,' said he Indignantly,
.'and on another occasion she said was a
jew. Now am not Jew. am Chris
tian and a deacon in the church."
A DEACON, NOT A JEW.
Cross examined by Counsellor Rowe:-
"And you say you are not a Jew?"
Yes. do; Pm Christian, and don't t
want you or any one else to call me Jew,
Mr.. Lawyer" said the witness, boiling
over with excitement.
Mrs. Jeanette Prosser testified that she
had often heard the defendant abuse the
Dwyer family and call them sows."
The defence put on the stand dozen
witnesses who swore to the general good
character of Mrs. Budirus and her par
ticularly sweet and angelic disposition.
and all agreed that she could not scold
anyone if she wanted to- she was SO mild
tempered.
Mrs Budirus corroborated all rnat had
been testified to as to her angelic dlspo-
sition, and denounced as un qualif1edly
false everything the Dryers had sworn
to.
The jury considered the case for five
minutes and returned a verdict of not
guilty

TRENTON, Oct %, 1890. The Court OF
Chancery has on its calendar the case of
William Pennington vs. Howard ID.
Woodruff. This litigation of which this
is portion was begun nearly half CEN
tury ago.
George w. Hughes. who had accumu-
lated considerable fortune, died in
Russia. and his widow hit on
an ingenious plan for bringing the
proceeds of the estate to this country.
She converted about 100000 Of
the cash into gold doubloons and had
them packed away safely in coffin. She
and the coffin took passage for New York,
and it was supposed by those on ship
board that in the coffin were the remains
of her husband. Arriving in this coun-
try, Mrs. Hughes converted the doub-
looms into United States bonds and other
securities, which at that time were very
low in the market.
She married the Rev. Mr. Weiss, of
Paterson, and soon afterward the last
Will and testament of her husband ar
rived in this country. 1t was found that
nearly the whole of his estate had been
left to some children of the brothers of
the deceased. The present suit is for a
title to encnmbered real estate.

Olstrict Asgistry was Made.
II the manner in which the election
officers of the Eleventh precinct of the
Fifth district have made the house to

of the work of the entire district, the
voters should loose no time in having the
list corrected or they will be deprived of
their votes. A more careless, slovenly
piece of work was never done than that
of this precinct. From houses where
there are three or four voters they only
have one registered. In many cases
they have written down authorizations
of mems names, as for example, William
Smith appears as "Bill Smith," Joseph
Brown as "Joe Brown without any re-
gard to the middle name or TO the fact
that there might be two voters of the
same name in the same house.
Moreover, in several instances they
have men registered from houses next to
the ones in which they live. The officers
in this precinct are: Charles Hamilton
and Richard J. Parker, Democratic, and
