The Police Make Another Raid on O'Cou-
nell's Dive.
The police made raid Last evening on
O'Connell's dive, No. Sc York street,
which for some time past has been no
torious resort for black and white dis
reputable characters of both sexes.
The police raided the place several
weeks ago and arrested the proprietor,
John O'Connell, and about fifteen men
and women. O'Connell is now in the
County Jail awaiting trial for keeping a
disorderly house.
His wife has been running the dive
since his arrest, and did not improve its
character much.
Policeman Pendergast, upon whose
post the resort is, has noticed for the past
few days that the origies there are as bad
as they were before O'Conneil's arrest.
He therefore called Policemen McMa-
hon, Harrigan and Stanley to his assist
ance, and broke into the dive. The po-
licemen found a number of men and
women of both colors there carrying on
in an unlawful manner They arrested
John Atkins and George Fisher. of No.

A SURPRISING VERDICT.
With This Certificate Of Character
Jacky" Lynch May Have
Show to be Mayor.

Before "Jacky'' Lynch was tried in the
Sessions for keeping disorderly house,
he told me that he intended to clean out
the Court, convict the police and be
elected for Mayor. The first part of this
programme has been carried into effect
1t was clearly shown that the raid on
his place that resulted in his arrest was
made on Sunday morning; but this was
not evidence enough to convince Jurors
William M. Beach, Henry Odenwalder,
Joseph MCGUIRE, Thomas Muir
phy, William Egah, John Neidert,
Daniel E. Reilly, Richard Chatter, Chas.
Vollers, Robert Wynn, Dennis Meskill
and Richard Cooper, that the law had
been violated, and they rendered YER
dict of not guilty.
The time of the raid as recorded in the
police blotter, and sworn to by seventeen
witnesses as being correct, did not count
Among the seventeen witnesses who
described the spelling, drinking and
good times'' had at "Jacky's," were
Mary McClosky, Nellie Morgan, Mary
Lang, Martha Haller and Elizabeth
Moore
They all told the same story as to the
character of the dance house,
and then ex-Judge Garretson for "Jacky"
produced thirty-nine witnesses who
never saw wrongdoing in the dive; never
knew that the Sunday law was violated,
and who believed "Jacky" to be law
abiding Christian citizen.

Statement.

But the Court is Not Satisfied With His
Statement.
Recorder McDonough, who has made a
number of peculiar decisions of late, was
before Judge Lippencott in the Court of
Sessions, this morning.
He was there of his own accord, and
told the Judge that he wanted to explain
why he had fined two men named Wag-
ner and Tanner $40 for disorderly con-
duct when they had committed larceny.
They had stolen bottle of milk while
on spree, as was said in THE JERSEY
CITY NEWS yesterday.
The aged Recorder said the two boys
were drunk when arraigned before him,
and it was for that offense they were
fined, but that at the same time he told
his clerk to draw up the necessary papers
to hold them for larceny.
''The court has never had any desire to
injure the feelings of any one," said
Judge Lippincott, land there is no in
clinatiou to impute bad faith, but such
cases as this are of too frequent occur
renee from Hoboken and other places.
Larceny cannot be merged into drunk
ness. The smaller offense should be
merged into the larger one. That is all. y

RICH, BUT POOR.

Bayonne Has to Issue Bonds with q
$4,000 Reserve Fund.
The Bayonne Board of Councilmen held
special meeting last evening. The FL
nance Committee reported that the recent
issue of $4,000 of bonds could be sold to
bidder in New York for 1O1. Although
they had intended to bid at good pre-
MUM for the securities the bankers of
Jersey City were prevented from so do
ing by biiie law which imposes 6. heavy
tax upon such investments.
The offer of 101 was the best that could
be obtained. Not caring TO sell the bonds
at such deprecated value the Board
discussed the feasibility of getting loan
at five per cent. interest In order to pay
for the improvements now completed and
almost finished.
Finally it was shown that only $40, 900
would be required at present, and the
Board decided to have half the issue of
bonds sold at 101 or better The city has
nearly SIS, 900 in its general fund, but not
a penny of the amount can be used for
improvements, owing to clause to that
effect in the city charter,
