SPRING SUGGESTIONS.

Avoid draughts and sudden changes of
temperature.
DO not discard your warm winter cloth
ing too soon. tits better to suffer n little
inconvenience than to take cold.
Remember that one is especially liable
to contract bad c2ld or chill at this sea-
son of the year.
A cough or cold contracted between the
seasons is the most annoying kind, and
may last through the summer.
II you feel q cough or cold coming on,
take q drink of puro whiskey at once. 1t
will keep the blood in circulation and is
the best preventive against the diseases of
the season.
Remember that only pure whislsey

nal whiskcy. Take no other from your

The Finance Board at a special meeting

sioners propose to refund city bonds chat

The present bonds are bearing interest of
six and seven per cent. Renewed they
will bear only four and half per cent.
interest
This refunding operation is to be car
fied out under the provisions of law
passed last year in anticipation OF the
present strouble. It gives TO the city
the right to renew any Indebtedness
which may fail due prior to January 1,
1894, provided that the city first exhausts
all securities In the sinking fund pleuged
to the payment of the city's bonds.
Over 50 000,e 600 of the bonds will mature
during the present year over aud above
the requirements OF the sinking fund.
There is nearly half million dollars In
the sinking fund for the renewal of these
bonds.
Corporation Counsel Edwards said last
night that the reminding operation will
not add one dollar to the city's debt, but
rather will save the city somewhere in
the neighborhood Of $50, 900 year. The
money cannot be used for any other pur-
pose but that of the redemption of bonds
matured.

that city to close the theatres on Sundays
has created no end of talk. The petition
was not presented however, and of course
the Board could not take any action. 1t
is generally understood that the petition
will be presented at the next meeting Of
the Board, ana there the matter will
probably end. The managers OF the two
leading theatres in Hoboken are indig-
nant at the way in which they are being
treated, and do not hesitate to express
themselves in strong terms.
TWO OPPOSING CURRENTS.
One Of the leading men in the theatre
cal business VINO asked that his name be
withheld said
I cannot see wig a respectable and
orderly theatre should be attacked in
this manner when there are any number
OF disorderly places open in Hoboken on
sunday. 1t does not seem fair to say the
least. Look at the SATURDAY. night dances
in the lower part of the city whose doors
are not closed Until five and six O'Clock
Sunday morning. Why, have seen dis
orderly crowds OF young men and women
leaving these low dance halls when the
good people were on their way TO church.
IL is passing strange that TeformerF should
stir up sentiment against the Sunday
theatres and not direct their attention to
these places. They could accomplish a
great deal more good and save more
young girls from going astray. aud would
be well rewarded for their efforts. They
claim that the people who attend the
sunday night performances at the the
aires are disorderly. This is base lie.
claim that the audiences are eminently
respectable, and some Of the best people
in Hoboken and Jersey City can be seen
az our theatres on Sunday night"
NO HARM IN 1T.
Police Commissioner Kaufman was in
teryiewed. Said he. II cannot see any
harm in Sunday theatricals. have lived
in Hoboken for forty years, and ever since
| can remember the theatres were open On
Sunday. I understand it this agitation
has been stirred up by people who live in
the upper part of the city. They say that

do not see how tEey interfere with the
residents in the upper part Of the city,
but, as / said before, / think that the pa
irons of the Sunday theatre are composed
of respectable class OF people, and / am
opposed TO closing them,n
Police Commissioner Daab could not be
seen, but 1t is understood that he is not
opposed to the Sunday theatres. Neither
is Mayor Grassman or Commissioner Utz,
and therefore the impression prevails that
nothing will come of the petition.

One OF the leading signers of the petit
ton, a clergyman, who asked that his

much as he was to the concert gardens

A MAIDEN'S CRUEL THRUST.

The Returned Letter that Made Mad
Man of Her Lover.
William Russell, the son Of the Rev.
w. H. Russell of the Union Place NJ E.
Church, Union Hill, is reported to have
gone insane after having trouble with
young woman to whom he had been pay
ing attention. The young man is said to
be atIpresent incarcerated in some private
lunatic asylum. The affair has created a
sensation in the upper part of the county
where the young man was very we'll
known and respected.
Russell, who Is about thirty-two years
old, was engaged as a professional nurse
at the. Middlerown Insane Asylum. The
story goes that he met handsome and
refined young woman in Middietown,
and became Infatuated with her. His
feelings seemed to be reciprocated by the
Young lady and it is said that they were
engaged to be married.
A few months ago Russell brought his
prospective bride TO the home of his par
ents in Union Hill and introduced her.
The young woman made favorable inn
preston on the parents, and the young
man was supremely happy. During the
young woman's stay in Union Hill she
received many letters, and finally Russell
began to believe that these letters were
from another lover.
He accused her of being false and with
receiving the attentions of another young
man during their entire courtship.
The couple had terrible quarrel and
decided to exchange all the letters writ
ten by both. The young woman by acci-
dent or design enclosed one of the letters
which mad been written by another young
man in the batch sent her BY young
Russell, and sent il to him.
The letter fully confirmed RusseIl's
suspicious, and the story goes that he in
dulged in morphine and continually
brooded over his unfortunate love affair
until he became violently insane. 1t re-
uuired the efforts of six men TO hold him
His parents were almost heartbroken.
Russell was removed TO st. Mary's Hos
pital in Hoboken, but the Sisters there
could not do anything for him and he was
taken away.
A reporter called at the parsonage of
the Rev. Mr.. Russell on Union Hill yes
terday MIR. Russell was not at home.
Mrs. Russell, the mother of the unfortu-
nate young man, admitted that he had
gone insane, and said that his insanity
was caused by disappointment in love.
The name of the young woman could not
be learned

THE CAPTURE OF MCMAHON.

The Interesting Story of a Pending Suit
Against the City of Hoboken-
In the Supreme Court in Trenton last
week, the case of ]. Talmadge against the
city of Hoboken was argued. The case
brings to mind one of the most celebrated
defalcaEions in Hudson county.
In 1884 John AicMahon. the collector of
revenue of Hoboken, left the city sud
denly. A hasty examination Of his ac-
counts revealed the fact that he was a de-
faulter to the tune of $4,000.
The affair created tremendous sensa-
ton at the time. Herman l.. TimKen
was mayor, and he, in conjunction with
Councilman Stein, offered reward of
$500 for the capture OF McMahon.
As the months rolled by aud no one ap--
peared DESTROYS OF earning the reward,
the ex- Mayor Withdrew his offer Then
it became rumored that McMahon was
keeping "A saloon in Buffalo. Other per-
sons stated that he could be seen at night
in the different resorts on Sixth ayen ue.
New York. At any rate one morning
gentleman representing himself as Mr..
Talmadge entered Mayor Timken's Office
and asked If there was a reward for Nc
Mahon's capture. The Mayor said that
there was not, but that he as an individ-
ual was willing TO pay $500 if McMahon
thorities, and he thought that the city
would stand by him and pay the reward.
Thinker then gave Talmadge paper in
which he agreed 70 pay him $500 II he was
instrumental in capturing Mcmahon.
1t has since developed that Talmadge
was boon companion of Mcmahon, and
some say that Mcmahon was going TO
give himself up, but that he would like
TO see his friend Talmadge make the $500,
At any rate Talmadge told the Mayor
where Mcmahon could be found, and one
evening in January, 1886. Detectives
Stanton and Foley. OF the Prosecutors
Office. went over TO New York and arrest
ed McMahon in resort at the corner of
Sixth avenue and Fourteenth street.
When Talmadge sought to collect the
reward he found that he had no easy
matter before him. Thinker, when he
learned that the city would not pay the
$500, said he would not pay it out Of his
own pocket and then commenced series
of suits. winding up in Trenton this
week It is thought that Thinker will be
compelled to pay the $500, but TaImadge
will receive but little, as his counsel fees
will pretty near eat up the $500 reward

A Crowded Tenement Set AblaEs While

Brooklyn's incendiarY has again been
at work. apparently not content with the
disaster of last Saturday night. when six
victims were roasted to death in Sands
street tenement. Another attempt to
fire a crowded tenement was reported
yesterday.
The building in which the fire was dis
covered Friday night was a huge four
story tenement, at No. 236 Bridge street.
Seven families, aggregating thirty-iive
persons, live in the upper portion or the
building. the store being occupied BY a
pork butcher.
At eight o'clock .. m one OF the ten
ants was going upstairs. whea he discov-
cred smoke Going TO the dumb waiter
shaft. he found the entire lower pars sof It
in flames. The fire was rapidly creeping
toward the top OF the house.
He gave an alarm, and the tenants
rushed to his assistance, pouring water
down the shaft in food.
The fire was extinguished in few min
utes, and the police began an irvestiga-
ton, in conjunction with the Fire Mar
shal.
"The attempt to burn that building
last night was infamous, said Mr.
Lewis yesterday morning. A large ice
cream tub was found on the dumb waiter.
Ii had been flied with rubbish, and SAT-
urated with kerosene. Even the bottle
containing some of the oil was thrown,
uncorked. into the tnb.
eThe stuff WAS then lighted and left TO
burn. Had the fire burned undiscovered
the entire building would have been
ablaze, and there might have been seyi-
Gus loss of life, as there were several
small children asleep at the time.
