A Sketch in BLACK and Tan With a
Little Red Paint Thrown in.
A mysterious stabbing affray occurred
at No. 40 Railroad avenue about ten
o'clock last night during scuffie between
several colored men and women.
George Abrams, of No. 110 Brunswick
street received deep cash two inches
long in mis- right cheek. Carrie McKin-
ney, a prepossessing young colored
woman in a scarlet cloak was arrested for
the crime, but i5 was difficult to fasten
the guilt upon her when she was ar
raigned for hearing in the First Dis
trict Police Court this morning.
The affair occurred in the hallway of
the house in which she lives. Abrams
and the woman had qusrreled, and the
two other women, Ellen Hardy and Jen-
ME Crosby and a colo-ed man named
Charles Owens, who lives in the same
house were In the hallway, and appeared
to be in the scuffie Each one on the wit
ness stand swore that he or she did not
see anyone cut Abrams. Abrams says he
does not know who cut him, and refused
to press the charge, and the woman her.
self denied that she cut him.
Justice Stilsing closely questioned the
witnesses, and ELECTED enough informa-
tion to satisfy himself that the woman
should be held for the Grand Jury.
DIR. Doyle dressed Abrams wound, and
had him sent TO the hospital. He appeared
in court, however, this morning. Patrol
man Heath made the arrest, and pre-
ferred the charge of atrocious assault
and battery against the woman.

NEWMAN AND FULLER OUT
The Mayor and Counsel of Bayonne
Stabbing Each others Back.

City Attorney Fuller and Mayor New
man Of Bayonne are stabbing each other
in the back, each thinking the other not
aware OF what is going on, and to all ap-
pearances both win be ignorant Of the
others doings till they read The JERSEY
CRY News this evening.
Last week Newman held a caucus with
a few Of the Councilmen, at which he is
credited with saying that he was sick Of
Fuller aud had no more faith IN him. He
further characterized Fuller as a baby"
and said be was determined to drop him
at the arst opportunity.
Whether Faller was aware of New
mans action or not Is not known, but ut
all events Fuller caucused with tha same
Councilmen on Sunday afternoon, and
the result is said to have been rather
against Newman.
Newman's chief characteristic IS con-
ceit- he likes to be considered the great
Il am OF Bayonne. aud IL is this AFRO
gHnce and overbearing manner which Is
losing him the support Of his friends.
Fuller and Smith recognize this, and have
determined 10 concentrate their forces in
the several Couucilmanic fights, as they
even now admit Farr's election, but
have hopes OF securing the Council.
10 overcome the charge Of needless
expenditures, at the last meeting of the
Council, President Goddard made a bid
for popularity which was truly laugh
able. When the contract for the im-
provement of East Thirty-fourth street
was brought up, Goddard ssid tnat as the
charge had been made that contracts had
been let by the Council at exorDitant
figures he would move that these bids lay
over until the next meeting. In the
meantime inquiries could be made
and the Council be Informed whether the
bids were fair. He did not wish TO have
IL inferred that he thought the bids were
too high. as he did not know anything
about them, but he did not want the
charge repeated that the Council had let
contracts at prices which were greatly in
excess OF what they should be.
Councilman Donohue. Que of the men
elected to buck" the ring, but who was
soon won over, asked that the preliminary
maps and assessments Of the proposed i'm
provement, with the estimated cost, be
produced. Tney were produced, and
showed that Ring Contractor Cogan's bid
was some S400 lower than the estimated
COST. The estimates for this Improvement,
as those for all others since Newman was
elected Mayor, were done under the
supervision of Emmet Smith, City Engi-
neer But the bids for the work hereto
fore, as shown In THE JERSEY CITY NEWS
few days ago, were generally above the
estimated value

WRECKED OFF HoLLYWOOD.
A Long Island Brig Lost on Her Way to

Long Island Brig Lost on Her Way to
France-One Man Drowned.
LONG BRANCH, March "a. s9l.-The
brig Joseph Banigan, Captain II. L.
Lyons, from Manola Bay. Jamaica, to
Harve. France, was stranded just south
of the Hollywood bathing grounds little
after O'Clock this morning. Thomas
Lawrence, one of the crew, lost his life in
attempting TO reach shore
The remainder of the crew, nine in
number. were saved through the prompt
assistance of Captain Asher Wardell and
crew of the United States Life Saving
Station No. 5, which is less than quar-
ter OF mile from the wrecked brig.
From present indicstlons tue brig will
prove a total wreck. She is an old YES
sci. and the big waves as they dash over
her are tearing her side out.
Her cargo is logwood. The Banigau
left Manola in the early part OF this
month. During the fore part of last
week. while a heavy storm was raging,
the brig broke her rudder and the Cap
tain was compelled to do the best ne
could to reach New York, where he want
ed to have his vessel repaired.
At about 9 O'Clock last night the Cap
tain thought he was pretty near Sandy
Hook, aud told his crew that in another
day they would reach New York. AT
Lyons ordered the lead to be used.
At the last sounding the lead showed
eleven feet of water and a rocky bottom.
Half an hour later the vessel struck. A
moment later the brig showed signs of
distress, which were promptly answered
by the patrolman OF the life saving sta
tiOn.
This was at half-past four. At five
o'clock the life saving crew had line
shot across the vessPs side and the crew
rescued. just prior TO the shooting a line
Lawrence became wild with tear and
leaped overheard. His body has not
been recovered.
Following Lawrence's rash act, Stew
ard Abner Giles dropped into the roaring
sea, but was fortunately hauled back IN
time to save his life The brig Is owned
by Robert Giles of Liverpool, Englsnd
She is OF 1s0 tons burden and is said TO be
forty years old.
Captain Lyons did not know whether
the vessel was insured OF not, but
thought she was.
The crew OF the Banigan consisted of
Felix Mccormick. 4. Henderson, A. Giles,
Albert Polls, George Vediviski, Thomas
Sullivan, Arthur Depass. Thomas Ashton

THE HUDSON SOCIETY TO MOVE.

Has Leased the Hardenbergh Nam
sion on Barrow Street
The Hudson Democratic Society has
leased the old Hardenbergh mansion on
Barrow street near Mercer street and will
move into it about May L The club men
have been somewhat loathe to give up
their present quarters on Van Worst
square, but are obliged to do so on ac-
count of the sanitary condition Of the
house. II is said that the Plumbing has
not been thoroughly overhanled in
twenty years and when the agent was
spoken to about the matter he gave the
society but little satisfaction.
The Hardenbergh mouse is much better
adapted for the purposes of the society
than the present house on York street,
but the fact that it is located on the
square has its advantages. It is probable
that when the society moves into the new
quarters it will give n house warming.
The society is in a fiourishing condition,
and now he's in the hands of the Board Of
Managers several applications for MEM
bersliD.
