THE FoURTHS NEW STATION HOUSE.
Kelly Brothers Secure the Contract This
Morning.

Kelly Brothers Secure the Contract This
Morning.
The Board of Street and Water Com
missioners held special meeting this
morning and Rewarded the contract for
the carparter and other work on the new
station house for the Fourth precinct po-
lice. The contract was originally award
ed to Marcus BollhardE for about S4. .185,
which many considered an exceedingly
low figure. Bollhardt failed to sign the
contract and left the city. 1t is said that
he has given up business and gone to
Enrope.
The foundation for the station house
has been laid, and the work has been de-
layed through Bollhardt's laches.
the Commissioners awarded the con
tract to Edward and John Kelly whose
bid of 81, 4S5 was the next lowest to that
of Bollhardt. The Commissioners say
that even If they should succeed in get
ting another bid as low as
Bollhardt's. which is exceedingly
doubtful. the sum which the city would
save in rents for the premises now oc-
curied by the police during the delay, and
the cost of readvertising would amount
to more than the $500 difference between
the bids of Bollhardt ahd the Kellys
The Board passed the current payrolls
of the Water Department, and directed
the clerk to request the Board of Finance
to make provision for the cleaning of
sewers and receiving basins for the
balance of the wear

She Wants Louis Soeh1er
to Father the Cherub
for Her.
BUT HE WON'T DO IT.
For He Says the Last Time He Was
Foolish With Her Was Eleven
Months Before 1t Was Born.

Mary Dunn, plump and pretty young
woman of twenty, residing at No. 571
Nelson avenue, swore out warrant yes
terday for the arrest of Louis Soehler, Of
No. 559 Germanfa avenue. Miss Dunn
charges that Soehler is the father OF q
child which she gave birth to on June %
last and that the child is about to be-
come charge on the county.
Soehler appeared before Justice Pelou-
bet this morning and morning and gavs
bail in the sum of $500 for examination.
Miss Dunn is an orphan and lives with
her grandparents, who are florists.
Charles Schmidt is the name Of her
grandfather. Miss Dunn and Soehler
are neighbors. living hardly a block
apart. They were companions for a long
time and Soehler called on Miss Dunn at
her home quite often.
HE LULLED HER CIRCUMsPECTIoN.
1t was on one of these occasions Miss
Dunn charged that Soehler lulled her cir
cumspection TO sleep and ACCOMPLISHED
what Miss Dunn believes was his long
premeditated design.
AT divers times after this Soehler. Miss
Dunn charges, abused her confidence. and
when She preceived that she could keep
her indiscretious secret no longer. she
plcdueu WIN OOeHler TO make the only
reparation possible, but Soehler was 10th
to repair the damage. and Miss Dunn's
baby came into the world unfathered
She thought that as Soehler had shown
her so slight consideration he was worthy
none, and SO she caused his arrest
ELEVEN MONTHS SINCE HE WAS FooLISH.
Soehler is short, thick set young man
with very podgy, red face. He works
In Babbitt's soap factory, and is the only
son and support of a widow He most
earnestly disclaims the parentage of the
infant. He admits being a little more
than kith to Miss Dunn, but says that
the last time he was foolish was more
than eleven months ago, and that conse-
quently he is not the father of Miss
Dunn's baby.
Soehler does not charge Miss Dunn
with malice, but says it would be very
easy for her to make a mistake, and that
on the examination day, next Friday, he
will prove that he is innocent SO far us
Miss Dunn's child is concerned.

Various Nuisances Reported and Ordered
to IS 9 Investigated.
The County Board of Health met yes
terday afternoon. Commissioner McNiel
was absent. A petition, remarkable for
it's length and detail. asked the Board to
compel the residents on the south side OF
St. Paul's avenue, from Oakland to Cen
tral avenues. to help bear the expense OF
a sewer through St Paul's avenue.
The petition was signed by the resi-
dents on the north side of the avenue.
1t appears that the residents on the south
side of the avenue are not anxious for
new sewer, as they are connected With q
private drain. The whole matter was re-
ferred to counsel to see what power the
Board had in the matter.
Inspector Allen reported that the build
ings Nos. A and 46 Railroad avenue and
the two houses in the rear were in q
dilapidated condition; that the tenants
threw garbage beneath their windows
and that the privy vaults were in such q
condition that at the rise of tide they
overfowed and filled the yards. There
had been six fatal cases OF diptheria in
this neighborhood. The matter was re-
ferred to counsel to abate.
A communication was read from the
Town Clerk OF the town OF Union in ref
erence to certain water closets in that
town. The communication was referred
to the inspector.
The report of the burial OF still-born
child without permit was referred to
counsel The Board considered the ad-
visibility of painting live wires, but no
definite action was taken.
DR.. H. Melville Smith reported case of
diphtheria at No. 191 Newark avenue, and
asked the Board why no action had been
taken by the inspector. The inspector
was ordered to explain in writing to the
Board There were number of applica-
tlons to keep COWS and other animals.
A representation the hog hair dying
firm of Peter Wall s. Son was present.
and asked the Board for an extension of
time to close up this nuisance. The time

LASKHR'S BACKERS.
Colored Voters Enraged at
Republican Treatment
of Their Man.

The colored voters of Jersey City held a
large meeting last night at their Assem-
bly, rooms, No. 100 Hudson street, to hear
the report of the committee which had
been sent to Washington to as
certain the cause.of the dismissal of
Mailing Clerk Foster B. Laster from the
Jersey City postoffice. The report was
made by Mr.. Joseph Williams. who told
the story of the visit TO Washington just
as it has already been given in The JER-
sEY CITY NEWS.
Mr.. j. Gunnell made a speech, in which
he stated that he had worked for Sam
Dickinson's political advance ever since

he would never be able to
recover from the shock to his confidence
which Dickinson inflicted when he told
him recently that Lasker had been dis
charged by orders from Washington.
Mr. De Lance urged the meeting to pro-
ceed with moderation. He was Wiling
to go as far as any one in trying to right
a wrong, but wanted to know the road
before he started out.
Mr. B. Riley made speech in which he
made unpleasant remarks in regard to
Postmaster Dickinson.
Foster B. LaSker, the depoSed clerk,
made statement. He said that he had
been the victim OF sort of persecution in
the postoffice on account of his color
He was told for instance never to use the
same ice water cup as the other clerks, as
they objected to drinking out of the same
cup with "niggern

AsBUIY PARK, Aug. 81, 1S9O.-The F.
y. N. Club of Jersey City had rollicking
time last night. Some of the members
are stopping here and others at Belmar.
just below us on the coast. They made
up their minds that there swere enough
Jersey City people in the place to justify
their giving minstrel exhibition, and
they sent an advance agent to arrange
things for them. This advance agent
does not seem to have known
his business, and he did his part
SO badly that Mr.. Bruce e. Chiffon
had to come down from his Duncan ave-
nue. home to repair the breaks aud put
the enterprise on solid financial footing.
Through his efforts a fair audience as
sembled in the Grand Opera House last
evening to hear and see the fun. The end
men were Sid Jordan, the alto singing
son of Charles B. Jordan; Frank Jordan,
the capering son of Ex-Flnance Commits
sioner Thomas ID. Jordan; Charles Eos
ter, the president of the Schubert Glee
Club, of New York City, and Charles w.
Shone, also of Jersey City. Messrs. Fos-
ter, Shone, Adams and Norris made an
admirable quartette. Foster, w. A.
Wood, j. M. Byrne. w. H. Irwin, g. l..
Norris, both the Jordans and Shone sang
solos with great skill, and Irwin whistied
so admirably that the audience would not
let him stay behind the scenes.
Master Howard Long displayed an adj
mirable sopreno voice, and G. Q. Wood
ruff performed on the banjo to the delight
of his hearers. There was. of course, no
end of ad interim chestnut cracking by
the end men. The selection of chestnuts,
it must be said, was an admirable one.
One explained that Haggafd called his
novel "She'' because it couldn't have
ben Hur." Another told of modest
girl who would not even 'tchange her
mind" in the presence of company. A
third described a new order of scales,
called ambush scales, because they lie in
weight. Another invented new name
for the spitz dogs-cuspidor dogs. An
other suggested that fellow with a
claim against the Caliph of Egypt should
Suez canal, and so on down the long line
of robust old timers.
Among those in the audience were Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Packard, who had com 9
down with stage load from Belmar;
City Collector O'Neill and Clerk Ester
brooke of the Fire Board.

A GREAT STRIKE COMING.
The Knights Say $4,000 Men Will
Be Called Out on the N. Y. Central.

The United Order of Railway Employees
has declared war upon the Central Rail-
road. 1t is probable that before Saturday
night the traffic, both passenger and
freight, of the huge Vanderbilt system,
will be completely stopped.
This at least is what the big Knights
and the Brotherhood chiefs say they are
going to do as soon as the decision arrived
at last night at the joint conference of
the leaders has been ratified by the proper
authorities.
The chiefs of the four brotherhoods
have pledged their word to go In with the
Knights into the fight, having satisfied
themselves that the giant corporation is
actually ..waging war against organized
labor, and are now on their way to Terra
Haute to lay the question before the SUI
preme Council of the order.
The general impression seems to pre-
vail in railway circles that Grand Master
| Workman Powderly can call out of his
| own accord large number of the men
employed by the railroad company at the
present time.
Chief Sargent says that the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen has 10000
members, the Trainmen $4,000, the
Switchmen 5000 and the Conductors 5000.
Besides these the Knights claim 25, 600
members.
The vast majority of all these classes of
employees on the Vanderbilt systems are
members of the Brotherhoods, so that if
they all went out the entire road from
New York to Chicago would be tied up as
tight as a drum.
Besides the four brotherhood chiefs the
members of the Supreme Council to
which the final question of the strike is
to be submitted are the following
Eugene V. Debs, grand secretary and
treasurer of the Brotherhood of Loeomo-
tive Firemen, Terre Haute; J. j. Hama
| han, vice grand master of the Brother
| hood of Locomotive Firemen, Chicago;
| William Sheehan, grand secretary and
| treasurer of the Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen, Gaylesburg, ILL.,; B. II.
| Morrissey, Grand Master of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
| Peoria, H.; James Downey, Vice-Grand
Master of the Switchmen's Mutual Aid
Association, Chicago; John Hall, Grand
| Organizer of the Switchmen's Mutual
Aid Association. Chicago; George Love-
| Joy, Assistant Grand Chief Conductor of
| the Brotherhood of Railroad Conductors,
| Terre Haute, and James Carr, Assistant
| Chief Conductor, Kansas City.
| These have all been notified by wire to
! attend tine meeting in Terre Haute Sat-
urday morning at ten a. m.
| The voting is done by secret ballot after
the subject has been fully laid before the
| Council
A majority of the twelve votes is all
that is necessary to ratify the action of
| the chiefs. 1t is believed by the local
leaders that the Council will be unani-
mously in favor of coalition with the
| Knights.
Vice President Webb eff the Central
| Railroad Company said that everything
was running along smoothly this morn
| ing. He said his company would be pre-
pared for the strike if it comes, and that
it will not yield.

MIR. ERWIN AN UNKNOWN QUANTITY.
That's What DIR. Dallas Says He Was
Before Election.

That's What DIR. Dallas Says He Was
Before Election.
The suit of Assemblyman Erwin against
DR.. Alexander Dallas for share of his
election expenses was continued before
Judge Douglass in the District Court
yesterday afternoon. Mr. Erwin's testi-
mony as to the agreement between HIM
self and Dallas concerning the division of
their election expenses between them was
corroborated by Major w. III. Armstrong,
Thomas Bird and John H. Sleaman
Then DR.. Dallas took the stand and
contradicted Mr.. Erwin's view of the case.
He said that they made several agree
ments by which they were to share their
entire expenses share and share alike.
He also produced schedule of the
amounts which he had paid out in ac-
cordance with that agreement. and which
he claimed as set off to Mr.. Erwin's
claim. He also intimated that his defeat
was due to treachery on Mr. Erwin's
part. He further said that Mr.. Erwin
was an unknown quantity" in Bayonne,
and they had to have meetings down
there to bring him before the people. He
thought MIR. Erwin should share the ex-
pense of that.
Editor Gardner, of the Bayo7nc Times
testified that DIR. Dallas had paid him for
advertising both the Doctor and Mr..
Erwin in the Times.
Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Potts then in
dulged in flight of eloquence, and pro
ceeded to rhetorically annihilate their op-
ponent's clients. Mr.. Potts in replying
TO DR.. Dallas insinuation that he was de-
feated by Mr.. Erwin's treachery, shook his
finger at the doctor and told him that
he knew why he was defeated. 1t was
not because of treachery on Mr.. Erwin's
part, but because he Oallas) was not a
citizen.
The judge took the papers and reserved
his decision.
