REJECTED ADDRESSES.
The S. & W.Requisitions Which the
Financiers Refused to
Concur In.

The mem bers Of the Board OF Street an
Water Commissioners are very much ex-
ercised over the ac ton Of the Finance
Commissioners in falling to concur in
their acquisitions. They claim that men
from whom supplies are purchased by
the city ar kept waiting oftentimes five
and six years for their money. Only a
month ago claims for supplies used In
1852 were paid.
They say the assertion of the Finance
Commissioners that exorbitapt prices are
paid for supplies is without foundation.
The acquisitions which the Finance Com
missioners refused to concur in last night.
and which are to be filed by the New Jer-
sey Supply Company, were as follows

KEPT HIS PROMISE.
But Wouldn't Had Not the Police
Interfered.

Recorder McDonough performed mar
riage ceremony yesterday to which is at
tached a touch Of romance. The couple
were Antonio Sousen, a good looking
German Of twenty-seven years. and Jennie
Francis. a pretty featured and well
formed girl Of eighteen Both belonged
in Paterson. Antonio was foreman Of a
dye works and made $25 a weeK, while
Jennie was employed In a silk mill
Antonio proposed marriage, and Jennie
gladly accepted bin Her relatives were
also pleased. for it was known that Anto-
MO owned four lots and that he also had
money in the bank. Jennie recently
ten the marriage. He said he would and
then disappeared.
The girl soon learned that he had re-
signed his position. sold bis land for $500,
drawn his money from the bank
and purchased ticket for Germany.
Detectives Nelson and Gallagher kept
a close watch on the steamers, but saw
no one answering Sousen's description.
On Monday the girl again visited Captain
Hayes, and told him that she had
learned Sousen was stopping with
his brother In Newark. Yesterday De-
tective Nelson went to that city and
returned with the prisoner. Sousen had
ticket for the Red Star line steamer
which sails today. He said he intended
te return in six or eight weeks. The
meeting between the girl and her lover
was most affectionate. They embraced
and kissed while the tears flowed copi-
ously from four eyes. Sousen signlfied
bis willingness to have the ceremony
performed at once, aud Recorder Nc
Donough made them one. They left the
court room arm in arm. and it is likely
that Sousen will defer his trip to Ger
many.

has ATTACHED THE FURNITURE.
Good Reasons for Believing That
Nr. Mack and Mrs. Strong
Have Hoped Again.

The rooms in the Kingussie fat on
Sussex street. owned By Mr.. George K.
Mckenzie, and until recently occu-
pied by Dennis Mccarthy and Mrs.
Seth C. Strong.are in Charge Of Constable
O'Grady, OF Justice Weeds court The
furniture has been attached by theiz
bondsman, City Collector P. II O'Ne,u,
who became security for them in the sum
of 500 each.
Late Sunday night Mccarthy and Mrs.
Strong skipped to parts unknown and the
City Collector is .'hustling' in his usual
style to locate them.
Their disappearance wns the real cause
OF the Dostponement OF the hearing
which was to have been held before JUS
tice Weed yesterday morning.
telegram was produced In Ju Etice
Weeds court saying that Mrs. Strong
was sick and unable to app ear. A
that Mrs Strong had Mysteries
in the New York Central and Hudson
River Railway depot in New YORK, just
before boarding a train for the western
part Of the State.
City Collector O'Neill was on hand aud
wished to see the couple. out he was de-
MED shat pleasure BY some friends who
remarked. ''She's In fits" "Well,' said
the Collector. 81 am about ten minutes
ahead of a iit myself
The offense for which Mccarthy and
Mrs. Strong are wanted Is not extradtts-
BILE in New York, and II they do not ap-
pear in court Saturday morning the bail
will be forfeited.
The furniture, which was owned by the
couple, has very little value. but what
there is the City Collsctor has attached.
Friends Of the couple promise 70 have
them In court BY Saturday.
City Collector O'Neili is throug b fur
nishiDg bail for strangers
Mr.. Strong, who has heard OF the dis :
appearance of his wife and Mccarthy,
is continually prodding the police
and requesting them 10 bring
the couple back to justice. Mr.
strong is more anxious than ever
to see the couple arraigned at the bar OF
justice. He argues that their sudden dis
appearances is virtually an acknowledg ge-
ment OF their guilt.
Mccarthy before skipping In
formed an in innate friend that Strong
and his wife have not lived togsther
for more than three years. Mxs- Strong 1s
said 20 have in her possession

drawn mp nearly two years ago By her

A peculiar case of an applicant for
Amerieanization being unable to realize
his desire through his own mistake came
to light in the Con nty Clerks Office this
morning. Isaac Smith. a native of Prus-
sian Poland, in 1888 took ont his first pa
pers for citizenship. He was unaccus-
toned to the English characters and
when he signed his name he wrote JasiK
for Isaac. In 1889 when ne applied for
his second papers he refused 10 have
them made out to JaSfk
Smith as he said his name
was Isaac. The County Clerks Office
would not change the name, as it was of
record This morning, Smith, who is a
hat manufacturer, living at Union
Hill. again visited the County
Clerks Office TO have the name chan ged,
but without success. He was told that
the only way in which he could have the
mistake CORE cted was by application TO
the Court. He will probably do this.

Obesity, Leanness and Beauty.

Some persons are born with a normal
tendency to become fat, others with a
tendency to leanness. 1t is the same among
the lower animals. The hog is sor: Of
machine for transforming the ODDS and
ends of food into fat; but the farmer knows
beforehand that little pig with long legs
and snout will work off the fat as fast as it
can be made So long legged person sell
dom inclines to obesity.
Temperament has much to do with the
bodily condition in this respect In lynn
phatic people the life processes are slow,
aud the fat is largely deposited rather than
burned. This temperament furnishes some
of the best types Of surface beauty. The
person Of nervous temperament, on the
other hand, byexcessive activity Of body
and mind, and by predisposition 70 haste,
worry, fret and impotence, naturally re-
mains lean; but while the features of such
person viii probably lack softness and
roUndness of outline, they may exhibit in
a marked degree the higher beauties Of
mind and soul.
People who incline 70 obesity may hold
the tendency in check by appropriate food
and stirring exercise in the open air, thus
both lessening the amount of fat forming
food taken into the system and causing a
more rapid consumption Of such fat as is
produced, and those who incline TO undue
leanness, BY pursuing the opposite course,
may largely increase the amount Of fat ce-
posted. Youths Companion

Huneary,s Coronation Mound.

It seems curious that an event which
made so much noise all over Europe, no
longer ago than the year 1853 as the dis
covery of the hiding place where Kossuth
had concealed the crown of St. Stephen,
should be so completely forgotten as your
correspondent seems TO think was wit
ness many years latter, when in Hungary,
of the veneration with which the ancient
regalia of their nation were still regarded
by the people. 1t was quite the policy of the
revolution to prevent the emperor of Aus
tria being crowned with so revered crown,
but since he has worn it their loyalty, so
long withheld, has been faithfully kept by
the vast majority. The are now
preserved under the most alous guard in
the burg of Buda.
The ceremony that is performed on the
Royal Hill is not exactly what the writer
describes. The candidate for coronation
does not have to pull a sod" but he rides
to the top of the mound, wearing the re-
gala, and with the sword of St. Stephen
in his hand takes the coronation oath,
waving the sword at the same time toward
the four points of the compass.
The actual mound has been at Pressburg
for centuries. 1t is composed Of earth
brought from each of the fifty-two prov
inces of Hungary, in quantities relative to
the size of each; it is about fifteen feet
high speaking from memory, and is in
closed by a handsome stone balustrade
As it was decided to hold the coronation Of
thepresent emperor at Buda- Pesth, a pre-
cisely similar mound was built up there,
some of the earth from the original one at
Pressburg being incorporated into it.
