FILLED WITH GARBAGE.
Disgraceful Work ON Garfield Ave-
nue---0ne Source of Ber-
gen Odors.

An inspection of Garfield avenue, south
of the Newark and New York Railroad
embankment clearly shows that the COM
plants concerning the condition of that
avenue, which Mr.. E. T. Mclaughlin
made TO the Board of Health on Wednes-
day, were justifiable. From Communipaw
avenue to the railroad em mbankment, Gar
field avenue is q paved thoroughfare
which could be visited by Mr.. Sidewalk
Inspector Muldoon with profit to those
who are obliged to traverse it on foot.
During the heavy rains Of last evening
the sidewalk on the west side of the ave-
nue. was one continuous sheet of water
and pedestrians who wished to keep their
feet dry were obliged to take the middle
of the street.
The pavement and tagging stops at the
embankment, although the street con-
tinues on southwark. Immediately
south Of the railroad and extending east
ward to the canal Is large tract of
marsh, beyond which and along the line
of Garfield avenue are a number of I'M
habited dwelling houses. This strip of
marsh, which is in charge OF Frank
Mathews, the real estate agent at
Pavonia avenue and Erie street, is being.

BONNELL's QUEER POSITION.
Arrested but Not Arraigned for Swindling
Maliiet Brothers.

<AASSStO0 O0s wv fANIdASAou AOE
Maliiet Brothers.
Henry Bonnell, the Central Railroad
brakeman, of Elizabeth, was not ar
raigned before Justice Weed yesterday
afternoon, as was anticipated, for hear
ing of the charge of obtaining nearly a
thousand dollars worth of watches and
jewelry from Malliet Brothers, of the
Crescent Jewelry Company. The story of
how these goods were obtained was told
in THE JERSEY CITY NEWS of yesterday.
Mr.. Edward Malliet accompanied the
constable to Elizabeth to make the arrest
on Wednesday. Bonnell could not be
found there.
Both returned to Jersey City, where
they were approached by Bonnell, who
said to Mr.. Malliet:--'I understand you
are looking for me"
1--WE are," replied Mr.. Malliet.
II want to fix this matter up,n said
Bonnell. And he made clean breast of
disposition of the falsely obtained jew
elry.
Mr.. Malliet told the constable not to
serve the warrant, and the party went to
the Crescent Jewelry Company's store,
where they decided to send for Mr. Bon
nell's friends. Mr.. Bonnells father Is
well off and it was intimated that he
would make good the losses.
Constable Reen told me that Bonnell
was in his custody and that the hearing
would take place at five O'Clock. 1t seems
that BonnelFs friends did not appear in
time and Bonnell slept with the constable
last night.
The failure to arraign Bonnell yester-
day has excited considerable comment
A lawyer with whom / conversed this
morning remarked that the matter was
becoming somewhat muddled, and inti-
nations were heard from other quarters
to the effect that an effort was being
made by some one to allow Bonnell to es-
cape the consequences of his offense
against the State, provided he squares up
with Malliet Brothers.
When | was informed by Constable
Reen that Bonnell was in his custody,
the constable was nearly block away
from Malliet Brothers store
Justice Weed, when asked concerning
the matter this morning, said he had is
sued the warrant and the prisoner had
not yet been brought before him, and he
could not act until the prisoner made his
appearance. He presumed it was the
Malliet Brothers intention to institute a
civil suit against Bonnell.
Bonnell was in Malliet Brothers. store
when ! called this morning. One of the
firm was asked il they proposed to insti-
tnte suit against Bonnell. He reglied:,-
II can't say what we will do
am off just now TO catch the train for
that place. | understand there are sew
eral New York parties who have been
served in the same manner by Bonnell.n

The case of the New York and New

this morning did not come up. The brew
cry company some time ago undertook
to move a building from Henderson and
Ninth streets to Henderson and Eighth

through the street would damage their
wires, obtained a restraining order from
the Chancellor and the matter and mo-

The counsel in the case informed the
Chancellor this morning that the matter
