IT HAS A FATHER.
Mary Dunn Is Happy Because Louis
Soehler Will Marry Her.

Miss Dunn is happy, for the matri :
monial taper will be aflame this after
noon at four O'Clock. 1t will be lighted
from Hymen's torch in the hand of
Justice Peloubet.
Louis Soehler has relented and he will
put his name on the title page and not
allow his little work, like the letters of
Juniu ius, to go down the ages with it's
authorship the subject of eternal and
perpleXing dispute.
Miss Dunn is delighted; Soehler hopes
it will be all righJ, and the only uncon-
cerned one is the baby who is not whit
happier or more sad than usual
Justice Peloubet is the one TO whom
the honor of bringing the marriage about
is due. He showed Soehler that he would
have no earthly show when the baby was
brought into court, and Soehler capitu-
lated and though virtue is hardly tri-
umphant, yet the incense rises to respect
ability.
Captain Newton, of the Third precinct,
will be best man, and the Justices Office
in Oakland avenue will undoubtedly con-
tain a very happy crowd of friends.
The Justice says the young couple will
not live together at first but will hoard
up their money until they have enough to
go housekeeping with, when with the aid
of the installment furniture man they
will bring the regulation heaven to earth
and return to the resDectable existence
they led before the blind God led them
such a merry dance.

The Post and Its Friends Havc n
Pleasant Sail and Happy Time.
The Zabriskie Post excursion yesterday
was a most gratifying success. The
steamer Pomona ana barge Nelson car
ried over fifteen hundred excursionists to
Bay Cliff, Staten Island. The captain of
the steamer said it would
be better to keep the inside
course as the day was rough, and
the excursion arrived at the grove little
sooner than it would have if the outside
course had been taken. Prof. Ditmar's
band was there and kept the feet of the
excursionists pattering.
They arrived at the grove about 2:30.
and after lunching separated for different
pleasures.
Some went to the boats, some to the
woods and some bathec. 1t was 4:30
when the eXcursionists left the grove.
and they arrived home about 1880.
Among those present were:-Alderman
Salinger, Sergeant Van beuren and
wife, Jacob Harrison and wife, Stephen
Christian and wife, j. G. Fisher and

BRICKS FOR JERSEY CITY,
The Association Consents to Sell to
the Local Middlemen.

The alarming prospect of o brick tie up
in this county has for the present passed
and the trouble in New York will not
Immediately If at all affect Jersey City
and Hoboken.
Had the tie up in this city continued,
James P. Hall, a dealer in building ma
terials, would have been one OF Che great
est loser. He has two yards, one at the
foot of Henderson street and the other at
the foot of st. Paul's avenue.
Mr.. Hall yesterday presented to the As
sociation of Brick Manufacturers q re-
quest that they treat Jersey City the same
as Hoboken, by permitting the shipment
of brick to this point. He showed the Asso-
citation that he was forced to compete with
Washburn Brothers, who make their own
brick and have. yard in this city and
Hoboken, and that to do it he would be
compelled to purchase from any stock not
in the association that happened to be in
the market.
'The firms whose brick have dealt in
principally said Mr.. Hall, ''are as fol-
lows;-In lower Jersey City yard, Charles
Carman, Swain, 3. r. & S. and Charles
Marks, and for yard on Hackensack
River with Schmoltz and Benjamin, of
Hackensack, and Staten Island brick. /
therefore request that your association or
Committee take such action as will per-
nit me to continue dealing with those
firms as have been in The habit of buy
ing from and with quality and make of
brick with which my customers and trade
are familiar. A denial of this request
will not in any way assist your associa-
tion, neither will persistency
in any way effect the build
ing operations of Jersey City,
as an inability on my part to supply GUS
toners will merely compel those who
have been dealing with me to patronize
the yards of those with whom | am in
competition and with the one undoubted
result, viz. of injuring my business with
out any gain to your association, with
regard to the report that load
of brick from one of the boycotted yards
having been sent to Jersey City and not
being unloaded on account of the boy
colt, assure you that the brick was not
sent to me or to either oil tie yards or to
any dock of which am aware"
The association considered Mr.. Halls
proposition and believing it to be a just
claim on his part removed the beyeets
together from Jersey City.

Welded TO A BRUTE.
Mrs. Mulvey's Sad Story--Lets His
Baby Starve.

Mrs. Mary Mulvey called on Poormas-
ter Hewitt several days ago and COM
planned that her husband would not sup
port her and his nine months old child.
The Poormaster made the necessary COM
plant to Justice Weed and last night
Constable Crosby arrested Robert Null
vey.
When the examination took place Mrs !.
Mulvey, very pretty and girlish, dark
haired woman, whose age does not ex
ceed 20 told sad tale of her two year
married life. Her husband sat by listening g
attentively and laughing sneeringly all
the time He was dressed we'll and
looked like O man who received good
wages He looked to be about twenty
five years old. His wife said
"We were married in Grace Church
rectory nearly two years ago My hus-

next day, and then we went to

burg. He is carpenter by trade and
made plenty Of money
HE never sent me any money while he
was there, but wrote for ME to go to him.
Mother gave me the money, and l did go
to Pittsburg and stayed there nearly
two months. He barely gave me any
thing to support me there and ]
wrote to mother for money to come
home with. She sent it several times,
but my husband would get it and spend
it. Finally mother sent me a ticket and
| came home and have lived there ever
since. He followed me soon after, and
boarded with Mrs. Kiviin on Grand
street."
''And she is still looking for the board
money, amt she. MulveyS" interjected
the Justice.
az guess she is" replied the fellow,
with laugh.
HE has never seen his babe but once
since it was born," said the poor wife
''and then forced him to look at it, He
has never contributed a cent to its sup
port"
SIS this true?" asked the Justice.
II guess it is" replied Mulvey, laugh
"And the baby is nine months old?"
Yes. Judge" said the mother.
lis it as old as that?" enquired Null
vey, in a disinterested manner.
f'You know it is, y replied his wife.

Your wife says she can support herself. >
Il can'tafford it judge; you see don't
work every day"
.'How much do you earn?"
Only eighteen dollars week when

"And you can't support nine months
old babe. and give it shoes and clothes out
of that income?"
"No.n
"Can you give your wife So week to
support the child?"
'No."
"There ought to be place created for
just such fellows as you are" said the
Court indignantly. "You ought to
shovel coal for living and money
enough should be deducted from
the wages you earned tC
support your family. I wish I could dis
pose of your case, but / cannot. You ar,
committed for examination before Jus
tice Stilsing."
The brute laughed at this, when Crosby
took him to the station house.
His examination will take place tomor
row.

PREOOCIOUS THIEVES.
Two Youths Rob a Livery Stable in
an Improved Manner.

James Roberts, seventeen years old. of
No. New Chambers street, New York,
was before Justice Stilsing this morning
upon a charge of being fugitive from
justice.
At four o'clock this morning Policeman
Harrigan, who was patrolling Grand
street, saw two boys riding horses up the
street. The horses were fine looking
animals, and were furnished with saddles
and bridals, complete, while their riders
were ragged and frowsy. The policeman
saw at a glance that the horses were
stolen, and starting out into the street he
undertook to stop them.
The boys whipped up the animals, but
Harrigan succeeded In catching the
bride of the one ridden by Roberts and
held him. The other boy was rapidly
disappearing on his horse when Harri-
gan drew his revolver and threatened to
fire. At that the boy slid from the horse
and disappeared in the shadow of the
houses, while the animal went canteri ng
off in the dar kness.
Harrigan took his prisoner to the Sus-
sex street station, and subsequently
Policeman Coolahan found the other
horse wandering on Hudson street. This
morning Peter Stryker, of Broadway,
Flatbush, L. l., with Henry Kaiser, chief
OF tne tlatDuSn ponce, appeared before
Justice Still sing.
Kaiser had warrant for Roberts
arrest and Stryker claimed to own the
horses. He said that he kept livery
stable and Roberts was once in his
employ. When the four men who sleep
in his livery stable got up this morning
they found the back door of the stable
open and two horses missing.
They wondered how any one could have
taken the horses out without arousIng
them, and they started to investigate.
They found that the thieves had placed q
ladder against the rear of the building
and climbed through a window They
laid meal bags and blanket on the floor,
and led the horses over them so tnat
they would NOT disturb the sleepers
above.
Roberts was held to await requisi-
ton. He told the authorities who his
companion was, and the police expect to
soon have him in custody,

HOW NEWARK DOES 1T.
Tho City Gets No Interest But There is
No Unfair Discrimination.

NEWARK, Aug. 26, 1896. The unjust
partiality with which the Jersey City
Board of Finance discriminatcs in favor
of a few banks in designating the deposi-
tories of the municipal funds stands out
in strong contrast to the methods en-
ployed in this city. The finances of New
ark are managed much the same as they
are in Jersey City except that the Finance
Committee of the Board of Alderman
perform the same duties as are discharged
by President John Edclstein and his
colleagues.
The taxes and assessments are turned
over 20 the Comptroller by the Receiver
Of Taxes and other deputies who have
charge Of the immediate collecting of
the city's revenue The Comptroller's
duties are similar to those OF Comptroller
Hough, and when he has performed
these the money is transferred to the
City Treasurer and by him deposited in
the bank The banks are deslgnated by
the finance committee of the Board of
Aldermen, and the various accounts are
distributed among the several banks.
