JAILED ON HIS WEDDING NIGHT.
The Groom Was Over Happy When He
Called for His Wedding Costume.

The Groom Was Over Happy When He
Called for His Wedding Costume.
Thomas Mccormack, whom Justice
Stilsing let go yesterday, when arraigned
on charge of being drunk, because he
didn't want to interfere with wedding.
was again before the Judge this morning,
still in state OF blessed singleness. Nc
Cormack's Joy at the prospects of mar
ried life seems to be little too much for
him. No sooner had he left the court
room free man yesterday than he sought
the genial influences of the flowing bowl
and when he showed up at the police sta
tion to demand his wedding outfit he was
in such a hilarious state of mind that the
officers were obliged to lock him up again,
and instead of figuring as a happy bride
groom at a wedding he spent the night in
drunken stupor on the hard size of a
stone slab He hung his head sheepishly
in court this morning and swore If the
Judge would let him go he'd take the
pledge. The Judge is a kind hearted old
batchelor, and out of sympathy for the
waiting bride again let McCormack go.

THREE STEERS In A PIT.
They Led to an Interesting Suit in Jude
Douglass Court.

They Led to an Interesting Suit in Judge
Douglass Court.
An interesting case was heard in the
First District Court this morning. On
the morning of December 10 James Nc
Dowell was driving for butcher Patrick
McConville herd of cattle through Hen
derson street.
Justice and Plumber William ID. Con-
nell had made o twelve-foot excavation
in the roadway in order to connect an
eight-inch private sewer with the main
sewer in front of No. 553. Three of Nc
Dowell's steers ran up the embankment
and tumbled headforemost into the
twelve-foot hole.
Connell claims that he offered assist
ance in hauling the steers out of the
hole, but that those in charge of the cattle
told him that he'd have to get them out
the best way he could. Mcdowell sued
Connell for the value of the three steers
at $40 apiece, making total sum of $40.
In retaliation Connell brought suit
against Mcdowell for $500 damages
for the destruction of 10 feet
of pipe, the filling in of the excavation
and the delay of four days in his work of
constructing the sewer. The steers were
hauled out by derrick. Justice Doug
lass reserved his decision.

PASTOR EICHNER'S WIVES,
A Hoboken Church Appeals for
Enlightenment to the Lu-
theran College.

AT a recent meeting of the Board of
Trustees of the German Lutheran Church,
of fHoboken, it was decided to place all the
charges against the Rev. Mr.. Eichner, the
paster of the church, in the hands of the
faculty of the Lutheran College which
sits at Philadelphia, and upon the decis-
ion Of that body depends the question
whether Mr.. Eichner will be forever ex-
cluded from exercising the functions of
that church.
The meeting of the trustees was very
secret and their deliberations are not
known. The question upon which the
faculty will have to decide is whether a
divorced minister of the Lutheran Church
can marry a divorced woman. The trus-
tees claim that such q course is in direct
contradiction to the Scriptures.
They would not take the responsibility
of asking for Mr.. Eichner's resignation
on this fact, however, until they had
been enlightened by the faculty. The
facts in the church trouble were told ex-
clusiveiy in THE JERSEY CITY NEWS re-
Gently and created sensation.

DRIVEN MAD BY HUNGER,
An Educated German Lawyer Starved
for Five Days.

George Wanzer, VIII was brought before
Justice Patterson at the Tombs in New York
yesterday morning, was so utterly wretched
that he could not infuse a grain Of pathos into
the telling Of his story. He was ~starving-ut-
terly broken. The charge against Wanzer was
that he attempted to commit suicide Monday
foot of Pike street. Policeman Donohue went
in after him and had great difficulty in pre-
venting the foolish man from drowning himself.
Wanzer is twenty-nine years old. He is type
of the German student, who knows 80 much
but does not know his way about the. world.
He is mild, Thoughtful and courteous. Wanzer
was born in Hamburg. He studied at the Uni
versity of Rostock and received degrees, one
Of which was in law. He afterward became
duly qualified to practice. He served honor.
ably in the army and then entered the police
force, where he became a lieutenant. That
was rather a good position, but he quarreled
with his immediate superior. 1t was a very
serious quarrel, because the superior was in
the wrong. WanZer obtained leave Of absence
for two years. which was the best thing he
could do under the circumstances, as ii saved
him the trouble OF DESERVING. Two months
ago he arrived in the United States. He had a
few marks in his pocket. He was well edu-
Gated and fairly intelligent, but it seemed i'm
possible for him to obtain employment. He
could not practice law until he should be
naturalized. II he could have done SO before
that it wOuldn't have helped q ~penniless man
much. He soon spent his few marks. For two
weeks he had not slept in q bed. For five days
he had been starving. During that time ne had
just sufficient food to convince him of the fact
that he was starving. So he tried to end it all.
The justice told him that he was held in 500
bail He nodded his head gently and walked
away toward his place of confinement 80
quickly that the policeman had to hop to keep
nm with him.

Last week this community was visited by a
vast army Of hsrd-shen Baptists, who held a
great love feast at Frying Pan, two miles south
OF here. Preaching was held in . church, and
several stands were erected in The woods, where
the doctrines Of that denomination were
earnestly expounded. 1t was estimated that
i've thousand people were on the ground during
one day Of the meeting, which was, 1 Am
informed, very successful. Frying Pan is stu
ated only four miles from Chantiiiy, in the
neighborhood d. of which Gen. Pope in July. 1862,
without the aid Of Fitz John Porter, tried to
crush out Gen. Lee and his army. To an old
veteran of the Army of the Potomac the scenery
and surrounding country must present a very
interesting sight-so different from the trying
days Of '62. One Of Mosby's female spies and
members OF his command lives on the road
leading from here to Chantilly and Centreviiie.
L learned recently that a large hotel was
about to be built BY q syndicate Of gentlemen
at Hamilton, a few miles west of here. A val
liable spring OF water, said to equal the fam
Gus Poland water of Maine, has been found
upon the farm on which the hotel will be To-
Gated. 1t is estimated that there are about
one thousand families located for the summer
along the line of railroad that runs through
this region, and yet but little attention is paid
to the wants OF its patrons in the way Of suita-
BILE stations and proper lengths Of platform, 70

The American Tells of His Swim Across

Davis Dalton, the American back swimmer.
was interviewed yesterday afternoon at his
hotel in Dover, England, by a reporter. He
said:
AFTER the extraordinary ~exertion I under
went yesterday I am feeling very weak. My
eyes hurt intensely and are SO painful in the
glare of the white light that l am obliged to
wear blue spectacles, and I can scarcely open
the lids. l do not recOllect what they did with
me as soon as they got me here, for I had not

came 10 l was put into a hot bath. where l re-
NAMED for twenty minutes, and was then taken
out and wrapped in blankets. Then hot water
bottles were put to my feet and mustard
plasters freely applied to various parts Of my
body.
~ was attended by nearly a dozen doctors,
who all examined me to determine what effect
the exertiou and long exposure had caused.
They found my general condition remarkably
good, but they say that my left lung is very
weak from a h~emorrhage. In crossing the
channel I found that the temperature OF the
water changed about six times and this made
my passage very much more disagreeable than
l had anticipated"
