Patent medicines in England.

The London correspondent of the Phar-
ntaccatical Era writes chat in England the
prescribing of ready-made physic is said to
be increasing to All alarming extent. These
so-called patent medicines are in some in
stances simple and even appropriate, but
in others they are unsuited for use save by
the medical practitioner. The average
sales of stamped medicines by each vender
have doubled in the last thirty years, and
the amount annually paid for them by the
public was estimated as not far short of
E1 800, 900. The time seems TO have come
when the medicine stamp should be abol-
ished, and the compromising of patent
medicines placed under restrictions similar
TO those which obtain on the continent.

$50 THEY WERE MARRIED.
Commonplace Ending Of the
Soehler- Dunn Romance
Baby Smiles.

Justice Peloubet stood outside his office
at about fifteen minutes past four o'clock
yesterday. He wore an expecta MT look
and new suit Of clothes. Like an anx-
ious creditor, he was waiting with just a
little apprehension, for it was past the
time set for the commonplace ending to
the Soehler-Dunn romance. Presently
the Justices face lost. its solemn cast, for,
rapidly approaching him, he saw very
tall woman dressed in black and short
man with no pretensions to elegance of
attire. The woman carried baby. She
did net seem TO talk much and appeared
like one nearing the end OF some great
accomplishment.
AS the couple approached barrel organ
sent forth plaintive wall OF music that
did very well for wedding march, and
Captain Newton crossed from the Third
Precinct steps to the office of Justice
Peloubet just as Peloube5 was holding
open the door and uShering the serious
looking couple in.
THE WEDDING PARTY.
When the Justice counted heads just
before commencing the ceremony there
were present. besides the couple, Clerk
Clay Keenan,, Constable Locke, Captain
Newton, JERSEY CITY NEWS reporter,
an uncle of the bride, and the cause of it
all, the baby. Outside the office door a
boy, holding a half eaten banana i'll his
hand, was an interested spectator.
The baby was very quiet, but at inter
walls he hid his head on his mothers
shoulder as if indulging in secret grin
when he thought of his part in bringing
about the ceremony.
Justice Peloubet finally placed the
couple side by side and Captain Newton
gave the bride away. The Justice started
reading the regulation words and pro-
ceeded quietly until he reached the line
about people speaking now or else being
dummies all the rest of their lives.
When the Justice had concluded his
invitation, the baby, who had been quiet
thus far set up most demoniac and un-
timely bowling, nor would he cease but
howled on right noDly during the con-
Jinuation of the ceremony.
EVERYONE HAPPY.
When Justice Peioubet pronounced the
couple man and wife, Captain Newton
gallantly kissed the bride and Daby, aud
turning to Soehier said, Young man
take good care of this girl and baby"
The captain, who doffed for the time
his uniform and donned civilians suit
of clothes, which showed his imposing
proportions off to immense advantage,
was all smiles for the bride. After the
ceremony the men present jokingly COM
plimented Soehler on the resemblance of
the baby TO him, and he invited all hands
across the street to Daum's hospice where
the baby's name was discussed under the
protection of Bacchus The name of the
baby is to be John Henry after Justice
Peloubet, who interested himself so deep
ly in finding father for it,
There were no flowers no white wells
nor any of the surroundings with which
civilization seeks to rob marriage OF its
terrors, not even ring, but Mrs. Soenler
is happy, and to the minds of all right
minded people, Soehler has done the
right thing. though tardily.

PROBABLY A STUDENTS JOKE.
The Skeleton of Woman Found In a
Newark Manure Heap.

Newark Manure Heap.
Special to the jersey CITY Mems.
NEWARK, Aug. 81, 1S90--A skeleton was
found yesterday afternoon In a barrel in
the manure pit in the rear of ex-Alder-
man Sanford's stables at No. 22S Mount
Pleasant avenue. How the barrel got
where it was found or how long it has
been there with its CHASTITY contents Is q
profound mystery. The barrel was filled
with water. which, it is supposed, dripped
into it through the lattice work that en-
closes the pit, and the body was huddled
in confused mass in a large tin kettle.
which easily fitted into the barrel.
The discovery was made by John Scud-
der, boy, and Robert Strauss, a young
man, both in the employ of S. Volts,
butcher of Belleyille avenue, who keeps
two horses In the stable. Scudder and
Strauss were in the stable working when
they decided to Investigate terrible
stencil which had been assailing their
nostrils for several days. Golng out l9 INTO
the manure pit they saw the barrel filled
with foul looking water Strauss seized
a stick, and in stirring the water brought
to the surface head. A moment latter
a foot appeared. This was all he cared
about seeing, and he rushed from the
place, closely followed by the boy.
Ex- Alderman Stafford was informed of
the discovery, and he reported the matter
to the Second precinct. County Physi-
clan Wrighton was notified. He visited
the scene and concluded to wait until
this morning to have an investigation
made. Detective Cosgroye also visited
the place and came to the conclusion
that the body must have been placed
where found by some medical student.
The manure pit is completely enclosed
with lattice work and faces Ogden street.
the grade of which is about ten feet be-
low ex-Alderman Sanford's property.
A six foot fence also runs along the end
of the property on Ogden street,
forming wall for the manure
pit The skeleton, with the excep-
tion of hand and foot, was almost
entirely devoid of flesh. On account of
the shapeliness of the hand and foot it is
believed the skeleton is that of woman.
1t appeared as if the body had been bum
died into the boiler, and the theory is that
the boiler was then dropped into the bar
rel which had probably been previously
placed in the pit. There is an entrance
to the pit at the west side, but it would
have been impossible to convey barrel
containing such a load as was found in it
to the spot where 1T was discovered. A
door through which the refuse of the
barn is thrown into the pit would have
admitted of the passage of the barrel; but
all having business in the barn claim
that it never got there in that way. Ex-
Alderman Sanford thinks that the barrel
was carted to his premises at night. The
remains are evidently those of woman
dissected by a doctor or medicine student,

DISMISS THIS POLICEMAN.
An Outrageous Arrest of a Young Woman
BY One Toner.


Policeman Toner yesterday morning
saw number of people standing on the
mountain road on the brow of the hill.
He walked toward them, and all but
Mary Kilday fled. Toner concluded that
she was guilty of some crime, and on
general principles" arrested her.
He did not know what particular Of
fense she had committed, and no one had
made any complaint; but trifle like that
was nothing to Policeman Toner. He
would arrest the woman and then find
out what she was arrested for.
This morning she was arraigned before
Justice Aldridge by Toner, who related
the above facts. When asked what
charge he had to make against her Toner
said he did not know, except
she did not run away when
ne approached. He said he arrested
her at eleven O'Clock yesterday. The
woman said she had done nothing TO war
rant such action, that she lived in Brook
lyn and had just come from Hoboken and
was on her way to visit friends. She was
twenty-five years old She did not
know why the men ran away
when Toner approached, but supposed
they could answer that. She did not
know them. The Justice discharged her
from custody, and Toner was permitted
10 go roam at will to make other arrests
of people who do not run away when ne
approaches.

A VERY GENTLE SCOLD.
How Mrs. sragdelina Buderus Appeare
in Court.

How Mrs. Magdelina Buderus Appeared
in Court.
The only thing that has prevented ex-
Assemblyman John Dwyer from Leading
a life of content and happiness is the tom
que of Mrs. Magdelina Buderus. The re-
tired statesman has his home in neat
cottage on First and Hudson streets, Gut
tenberg, and directly across the street
from him resides the cause of all his
misery.
The old politician claims that Mrs.
Buderus is q nuisance, that she is fe-
male Paul Pry and a common scold,
whose only source of enjoyment is in
making others miserable by vicious use
of an unusually timber tongue. Mr..
Dwyer says that for long time he has
been on the verge of insanity from the
effects of this energetic tongue.
He hears it by daylight and at night
time, and whenever he is away from
home he dreams OF it. 1t haunts him,
and he doubts If even the silent grave
will be for him silent IL that tongue is
permitted to run at will. He has asked
for protection from it through the courts,
as a last resort, and If the judge and the
jury can do nothing for MIN he is pre-
pared to make his will and quit living.
Justice Thompson listened sympatheti-
cally to the tale of woe told by the ex-
Assemblyman and he issued a warrant
tor the arrest of Mrs. Magdelina Buderus,
as was told yesterday in The JERSEY
CITY NEWS. The complaint on which The
warrant was issued declares that Mrs.
Buderus is common scold; that she
had called Mr.. Dwyer a thief, a
william, scoundrel who had for years
robbed the town, and many profane and
vulgar epithets. The complainant AYERS
that she is common nuisance, scold,
and annoys the people of Gutenberg gem
aroiixr opd Mr. DxVVar and his family in
particular"
The warrant was served by Deputy
Sheriff Archibald yesterday, and he
brought Mrs. Buderus before the Justice.
She was accompanied by her counsel,
Herman Walker, who was defeated by
Dennis Mclaughlin for the County
Clerks office, and her brother-in-law,
Frederick Buderus.
The brother-ln-law became surety in
$500 for the appearance of Mrs. Buderus
before the Grand jury when wanted, and
the party drove home in surrey. Mrs.

A NEW RAILROAD.
Work Begun on the New Jersey Ter
minal This Morning.

Work Begun on the New Jersey Ter
minal This Morning.
A gang of workmen made their ap-
pearance this morning on Cedar avenue
and began to lay tracks for a new rail-
road diagonally across the street 1t was
said that the road is section of the New
Jersey Terminal Railroad, which in
wolves one of the most gigantic schemes
of the many which have been projected
for the Improvement of the New York
Bay. According to the articles of incor-
poration filed with the Secretary of
State at Trenton last March the
road will commence at the line of the
West Side connecting railroad, at point
near West Side and Walker avenues, and
run in southeasterly direction TO Oyster
Island. 1t is proposed to connect the
various roads terminating in Hudson
County, with a system of docks to be
located at deep water off Oyster Island
This will involve a vast amount of dredg
ing and filling in, as Oyster Island. it will
be remembered is a rocky ledge sub
merged at high water and located some
distance below Liberty Island.
1t is not known whether the present
signs or activity are the real beginning of
the great enterprise or are merely the
putting down of small section of track
in order to comply with the provisions of
the law, which requires that certain
amount of work shall be done within
specified time after the incorporation of
the road.
There seems to be sufficient capital be-
hind the road, and the men named as in
corporators are well known in financial
circles. The capital is $750,000. divided
into 1900 shares of 500 each, and the in-
corporators are:-George E. Horn, of
Brooklyn; Edward X. Hayts, Peter c.
Adams, OF New York, Edward L. Suffern
and A. Stuart Patterson, of Plainfield:
John S. G. Bailey, of Bloomfield; aud
Frank d. Carr of Elizabeth.

daughter refused to have anything to do
with her disreputable mother, and that,
together with a bountifnl supply of whis-
