MIR. DAVIS, EXPLAIN
Judge Lippincott Scarifes the Ring
Ridden Office for Wilfull Neglect.

When William Flynn was arraigned
for sentence in the Court of General Ses-
sions this morning, Judge Lippincott
took occasion to remark that Flynn had
been indicted over one year ago and that
he had been at home ever since, and the
Court could not understand why he had
not been arrested and brought into court
before.
There was no difficulty in the way of
the Sheriff's officers to prevent them from
finding him. The Court said further that
some days as many as twenty-five war
rants would be returned TO court not
found, all endorsed the same day. This
the Court thought indicated that but q

DISCHARGE THIS OFFICER.

Crosby, of the Animals Society. Held
for Conspiracy-A Girl in tho Case.
Special Officer Crosby, of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
was held in the sum of $500 by Justice
Stilsing this morning for impersonating
constable and by conspiracy assist
ing another to obtain money under
false pretenses- 1t come about in this
way
Elizabeth Mack, servant girl en-
ployed by Mrs Mattson, of No. l07 York
street, decided to leave the employ of
Mrs. Mattson before her months wages
were due. She demanded the full
amount, and on the refusal of Mrs. Matt
son to comply she sought the advice Of
Crosby.
Crosby, it appears, went with the girl
to Mrs. Mattson, displayed a shield, and
tice Stilsing to advise her to pay the
amount claimed. Mrs. Mattson says she
told Crosby that she did not owe the girl
a full months pay, but would pay
her "a, the amount due her. This the girl
refused to accept, and turning upon Mrs
Mattson, she assaulted her. Mrs. Mart
sons daughter Dora lnterfered TO protect
her mother. and general hair pulling
ensued in which Crosby took no part.
In vain Mrs. MaJtson, who is an aged
and delicate woman. called upon him as
constable to protect her from the as
sault of her Amazonian assailant. But
Crosby, il appears, paid no attention TO
her appeals. She threatened to go to
Justice Stilsing to procure warrant for
the girls arrest. Then Crosby in
formed her it was not Justice
Stilsing who had sent him, but Justice
Weed, and IL was too late TO secure
a warrant. Mrs. Mattson then told
Crosby she did not believe he was a con-
stable. She applied to Justice Stilsing
for the warrant and told him of what had
occurred. The Judge was very indig-
him.
Crosby's case was disposed of as above
related, and the irate servant girl was
held to answer separate charges of
assault and battery on both Mrs. Mattson
and her daughter Dora.

Thrilled by the proposed visit OF the

were shown how the O'Neills and Browns

he stump, and will set the county
ablaze."
DAVIS Is DEAD.
Inc more definite and aggressive the
anti-Ring movement becomes, the bluer
and more respondent the Ring grows.
1t may be stated as positive
and indisputable fact that Davis
IS no longer in the fight. The
opposition to the candidacy of his man.
McPhillips, has convinced him that Nc
Phillips can neither be nominated nor, IL
he be nominated, elected. Other men are
TO come to the front, and the nomination
Will be given TO some other man. The
suggestion of the name of Charles w.
Allen as that of this '.some other man"
meets with no favor anywhere. Allen
passes as man of superlative conscience;
but most people believe it to be mere
af1ectation. If he were man of ever 80
much conscience. his absolute want Oh
backbone would make him the easy vic
tim of the Ring and utterly unavailable
for the present situation. The fact that
he is associated with the Ring govern
ment as President of the Board of Alder-
men and a member of the Board of FL
nance, and the other fact that he is the
bosom friend and the personal property
of Orestes Cleveland would make him
the weakest possible candidate that can
be agreed upon.
The fact that Dennis has been retired
from the Boss-ship, is one Of the achieve
ments of the campaign as far as it has
progressed. The Ring is evidently on the
run when it says to it's leader that he
most withdraw to the back ground.
The strength of the citizens movement
will not be all measured by the sup
potr the organization now taking
shape may give to it. The Re.
publicans and the Jeffcrsonians and
the Labor men are all awaiting
the result of the meeting a week from
Monday. and there is little room fordoubt
that il the citizens do in convention what
they should do, all the anti-Ring organ
izations and elements in the community
will fall right in behind them.
Some gentlemen in the citizens move
ment suggest that perhaps Edward Hoos
would make good candidate for Sheriff.

FOURTH DISTRICT INTERESTS.
Special Legislation Condemned-These
Dangerous Gas Pipes.

dangerous 0stS 4ApcS
About thirty members of the Fourth
District Citizens Association met at Kes-
sler's Hall last evening. The meeting
was called by seven members for the pur-
pose OF discussing the special legislation
amendment to the constitution Only
one of the signers to the call was present,
Mr.. Laudham, and he didn't know any
thing about the constitutional amend
menJ election. Chairman Van Tassel
said that the election on Tuesday was to
sweep away the amendments passed in
1878. which prevented Legislators interter-
ing in city or county rule. The chairman
said that before the passage of the amend
ments an act might be passed i'll the in
terest OF some company without any
ones knowledge except those interested,
permitting them to close streets.
SPECIAL. LEGISLATION CONDEMNED.
The speaker condemned the proposed
amendment strongly. AS none of the
other gentlemen seemed to know any
thing about the matter the subject was
dropped. 1t was proposed by DR.. Allen
to elect a president and after it was so
decided, Mr.. Muir, Dr. Allen, Mr.. Van
Fossell and Mr.. Weber were all success
lively nominated and each declined. The
matter was then laid over until the next
meeting. Mr.. Laudham asked if any
one present knew anything about
n school site. No one answer ed, and Dr.
Allen moved to have a committee of four
appointed to try and bring the matter to
q conclusion. This motion was carried.
and Messrs. Allen, Muir, Henny and
Laudham were appointed. DR.. Allen
then stated that he had been requested
by West Hoboken people to inform the
Fourth district people that West Hobo
ken people would be pleased to receive
contributions to the North Hudson Guar
antee Fund of $4,000. No action was
taken in regard to this.
WHO CONTROLS THE STREETS?
Mr.. Muir then brought before the as
sociation the action of the gas company
in putting its pipes above the sidewalk
while crossing the Ravine road bridge in
Palisade avenue. Mr.. Muir said the
pipes were unsightly and dangerous at
night. DR.. Allen said the reason the
pipes were placed above ground was be-
cause it was so easy and inexpensive for
the gas company. he also said Alderman
Macarthur was trying TO do something
but was confused by the uncertainty as
to who had control of the streets. The
secretary of the meeting was finally di-
rected to send letter TO Mr. Pfingsten,
the Freeholder for the district, asking
him to interest himself in the matter.
The meeting then adjourned,

Seldom has the news of the failure OF q
member to secure a denomination awak-
ened more general regret on both sides
of the House than in the case of Mr.. Nc
Adoo, of Hudson county, N. j. He was
universally regarded as rising man and
one of the best debaters on the demo
cratic side of the Chamber.
AS soon as Mr.. McAdoo made his ap-
pearance in the House he was surround
ed by members of both parties, who ten
dered their sympathy and expressed
regret that he would not be with them in
the next Congress. He laughingly re-
marked:-
"Gentlemen, there is this difference be-
tween political and physical demise
in the former case man can read his
own obituary"
Mr.. McAdoo takes his defeat philosophi-
cally. Speaking of it this evening he said

In proportion as rum-drinking in

honest but unfortunate poverty; it Is a
dissolute, lazy poverty, that viciously
proposes to steal the savings of ener

money to spend for more rum without
having to labor tor it. There have
arisen within the past few years num-
Der of would-be prophets, with moon

and making every body happy. Their
theories are unavoidable because the

But there is one thing that can be
