invitations to the young people of the
city to attend a lawn party at the old
Christ's Hospital grounds. The raid
made by the police two days ago, In
which several people were found in the
building formerly used as hospital, at
rather late hour, had tendency to
keep many young people from attending
the affair.
Notwithstanding this fact however, the
party was success and jolly good time
was had By every one. The grounds were
lighted with Japanese lanterns which
were suspended on wires all around the
grounds
A brass band furnished the music for
the occasion and there was dancing until
midnight, when refreshments were served
in the old hospital building.
Among those present were:-Edward
Sannier, w. Beach, William Drake, Les
ter w. Gilbert, A. Blankenberg. Thomas
Lengfield. Joseph Schellenberger, Gus

BLOCKING A STREET GRAB
The Chancellor Issues an Injunction
Against The Lehigh.

A temporary injunction issued yester-
day by Chancellor McGill aud served to-
day has put an end, for the time being. to
another attempt of the Lehi1h Valley
Railroad Company to occupy one pubic
street and block mp another, SO as to
make it almost impassable.
The branch which the Lehigh Valley
company is building from Waverly to the
New York Bay, as at present surveyed,
reaches Hudson County at point on the
Newark Bay between Fifty-second and
Fifiy-third streets. Bayonne. At this
point the Company has built trestle
work at an elevation Of thirty feet out
into the bay for a distance Of about one
hundred feet.
Adjoining this on the north and at an
elevation OF twenty feet is another trestle
work. From the latter the railroad com
pany has built an inclined track 20 the
surface. which, curves to the north and
crosses Fifty-third street at grade, and
slopes abruptly at the land of Mr.. Imbrie
on the north side of Fifty-third street.
AIMED AT FIFTY-THIRD STREET.
The manner In which the track was be-
gun. laid and ended gave strong reason
for the belief that the company proposed
to take possession of Fifty-third street,
which IL not opened its entire length.
The fact also that the second trestlework
crosses West Side Road at such a low
height as TO seriously interfere with the
use'of the road naturally led TO the con
clusion that the Lehigh people had de-
signs upon that street also.
The track across Fifty-tnird street was
hurriediy put down Monday and Tuesday.
But Mr. Imbrie Immediately consulted
his counsel. Mr.. NJ. ID. Currie. who pre-
pared the necessary papers aud secured
from the Chancellor an order to show
cause why they should not b restrained
from proceeding further with the curved
track and be compelled to take M
the rails already laid down. The
order is returnable Monday when the
matter will be argued before the chancel-
lor.
THE RAILWAYS CLAIM.
The railway company claims that under
q law passed last winier it has the right
to cross the street at grades.
The outer side declares that that applies
only where the company owns the land
on both sides OF the treet, and that ever
then the permission to do so must bs
granted by the local authorities.

Orange and run a train from there to Ho-
boken.
The new line of the Lehigh Valley,
| from Newark to South Plainfield, is said
to be one of the heaviest and best con-
structed in America.
There is no truth in the rumor that a
certain conductor on the Central made
$4,000 on the Brooklyn handicap. His bet
on Tenny was small one.
The Greenwood Lake Railroad Com
Dany Is rapidly laying ne " ties at various
points on the line and putting the road In
good condition for summer travel.
Conductor Hoffman is one of the most
Lake road, and it is probable that be will

The mail car on the Greenwood Lake
train was taken off last week for repairs
and to have steam beating apparatus put

make quick shift TO another car.

terest on its bonds
An agent of the New Jersey and New
York road in Bergen county recently
wrote to the company that certain OBJ
structions interfered with his view up and
down the track and should be removed.
The facetious answer which he got was
that it would be easier Tor the company

Marquand, having competed the ar
raRgement of the Trumbull- Pri me collec-
tion of pottery in the Art Museum, the
beautiful assem- blage OF rare old china

Prime presented 1t to the college as a
memorial of her, and as an aid In tracing
the successive steps In the history of art.
The Oldest piece in the collection 70 which
a date can be assigned is a small cylinder
of soapstone. obtained at Thebes. 1t be-
longs to the period Of about 1000 B. G.
The collection of English pottery begins
with the rude stonsware of the early
Britons, and is continued throughout the
whole period of development down to the
famous work of Josiah Wedgwood. The
collection comprises between twenty and
thirty Thousand specimens. and it is safe
TO say is the finest collection of this kind
in the country.

ing Is taken:-
pharmacists is being daily brought to our
notice. That Is the increase of the manu-
facture of pharmaceutical preparations.
Manufactures of these goods are spring
ing up all over the country. Agents are
SO int out and physicians interviewed aud
their influence sought to recommend and
prescribe only the preparations of GER
tain manufacture. While there are many
reliable houses OF this kind there are also
many others who build their success on
the ability of their travelling agents to in
terest the physicians. As consequence
they are prescribed, and ordered by the
druggist at great Inconvenience and IN a
large majority OF instance used only few
times and then cast aside or placed on the
shelf as dead stock.
II know Of but one way to remedy this
evil and that Is to establish State Labor

manufactured and furnished to pharma-
cists of the State (members Of the associa-
tion) at the lowest cost compatible with
