A .WlDOW MANI

Would Make Good Side Partner for
the Famous "Widow Woman"
An amusing scene took place In Police
Justice O'Donnell's Court this morning,
one that contrasted somewhat pleasantly
with the usual scenes that are daily
transacted before the stern Justice.
Andrew Andrick. a good natured Po-
lack. about thirty years old, was ar
ralgned for striking Annie Somers. a
fair and neatly dressed young woman,
who keeps house for him and looks after
his child. He is, according to his own
words, ''widow man." his wife having
died some years ago. He is janitor of
the house in which they live. No. SO
Newark avenue. He gets the rooms free
of rent, and Annie runs the janitor's
apartments with the privilege of keeping
two bcarders.
Whom Annie was called in court this
morning she said she didn't wish TO press
the charge. The blow she received was
not severe, and Mr.. Andrich was not such
u mean man after all. Further inquiry
revealed the fact that the trouble be-
tween the two was that Andrich wanted
Annie to marry him; but Annie couldn't
quite make up her mind to accept him.
Justice O'Donnell advised them to do all
their quarrelling before marriage, and
discharged Andrick from custody. He
and the fair complainant left the court
together just the least embarrassed at the
evident amusement of the lobby.

GRAVE CHARGES.
LeVelled AT a Pillar of the Kearny
Presbyterian Church.

Church circles in the village of Kearny
are greatly stirred up over scandal
that has just become public through the
arrest of Thomas D. Oldham, of No. 20
President street, prominent member of
the Knox Presbyterian Church. A young
woman named Emma Smith. twenty-five
years of age, who lives at No. 80 John
street. Harrison. appeared before Justice
Mulligan at the Harrison Police Court
and in an affidavit charged Mr.. Oldham
with being the father of a male child born
to her September 2.
Justice Mulligan, after hearing the
complaint, issued a warrant, which was
placed in the hands cf all officer. who
arrested Mr.. Oldham at his home at two
O'Clock. Oldham, when arratg4ed before
Justice MulliVan, was placed under $l00
bail to await trial. The affair has Gre
ated much comment and criticism, aud
many of the friends of Miss Smith have
made threats of vengeance. Oldham
was seen in the Harrison police station,
and he stoutly denied the paternity
of the child. and pronounced his arrest
to he case of blackmail. Oldham is
we'll known throughout Kearny Town
ship. and was looked upon as on exemp--
larry man. He was very prompt and
faithful in the performance of his church
duties, and was interested in many OF the
societies of the church ana Sunday school
His friends are almost Frustrated over the
affair. His wife positively refuses TO be-
lieve that her husband is guilty.
The pastor OF the church, the Rev. u.
Charles Preyer, held long talk with Mr..
Oldham in the police station, during
which Oldham positively denied the
charge, and defied Miss Smith to furnish
proofs of her statement. The official
boards of the church gave Oldham a
church trial in the Knox Church last
night behind closed doors, and the result
has not yet been made known.
Mr.. Preyer declined to make any
statement, as he said he did not know
whether the testimony of the young wo-
man had been corroborated, and he did
not wish to prejudice the case.
The trouble has been known By few
persons in Kearny for some time, and
Oldham was advised to settle the matter
quietly by payment OF a certain sum
for the maintenance of the child. He
refused to do so. and secuted the idea of
prosecuting him.

Spccial to the jersey city Nescs.
MILLvILLE, Sept 10. 1S9l.-There was
much excitement yesterday in this city,
owing to strike of the tending boys at
the Glasstown and South Millville glass
works. of Whitall, Tatum & Co. Over
six hundred boys employed by the fir m
refused to go to work, because some
Jewish boys from the Russian settlement
near by had been given employment The
firm, 1t is said, preferred American BOYS
to Jews, but could not obtain them. The
strike caused suspension on the part of
the blowers and other skilled workmen,
rs they cannot work without the help of
the boys, and consequently hundreds are
idle. The strikers held meeting in
the afternoon, hundreds Of bows crowding
into the Metropolitan Rink. Having
struck because of the Jews, they cou-
cluded that while they were out they
might as we'll ask for an advance in
wages So a COMMITTEE was appointed
to 90 to the firm and demNnd n len per

employed at the works to be discharged
The firm received the committee, but

grant either demand. The boys are

ALMOST FINISHED.
The Pennsylvania's Mammoth
Work Is a Marvel in
Many Ways.

1t is nextIto impossible in brief news
paper sketch to give an adequate idea OF
the progress of the great improvements
the Pennsylvania Railway Company is
making TO its property in Jersey City.
To say nothing of the unparalleled feat of
erecting the iron structure and elevating
its tracks for the accommodation of its
seven hundred daily trains without inter-
fering with its time schedule, the
consideration shown the travelling public
and the citizens of the city in the way OF
expenses on the part of the company are
no small items. Tracks have been laid
temporarily. and then torn up and relaid
permanently. All through the heated
summer an army of men has toiled to
complete the structure, a Id it is said'that
six more weeks will see the job completed
Then will come the new waiting room,
and after that the Pennsylvania Company
will have finished the great work it began
over q year ago.
The iron structure for the elevated
tracks was completed some weeks ago.
The flooring for the two extra main line
tracks is being laid Where one of them
is to lie is now laid an improvised track
for gravel trains that are filling up the
great space within the retaining walls.
The four main lines are completed be-
tween Brunswick street and tne brow OF
the Hill.
AS soon as the two new tracks are laid
east OF this point, and the interlocking
towers at Henderson street AMI Bruins
wick street are ready for service. the two
lines now in use will be abandoned and
utilized only for drilling purposes. This
applies only to the section between the
above named streets; six tracks grow out
of the four lines, aud before reaching the
train shed six more spring out from these,
making altogether twelve tracks that run
into the shed. In addition to these twelve
tracks workmen are engaged filling In the
section north of the train shed for the
accommodation of tracks that run out to
the piers.
Workmen are also employed lowering
the grade of the street at what used to be
known as the Newark avenue and Hen
derson street crossings. So far as this
applies to Henderson street it is bless
ing, for the steep grade sent heavy trucks
out from Henderson street with horses
almost at a dead run, and made it ex-
ceedingly unsafe for unwary pedestrians
on Newark avenue.

COL. TuFFEY,s CONTRACT.
A Remarkable Feat in Me tropo.itan

A Remarkable Feat in metropolitan
Journalism.
The New YORK Herald has just sue
ceeded in making the discovery that
Colonel John j. Totfey has received the
contract to supply the United States I'M
migrant Bureau at Ellis Island. This dis
covery is pretty quick work for the
Herald, for it has only been known to
THE JERSEY CITY News for about three
weeks.
The Herald also made another remark
able discovery which belongs to it ex-
clusively. It is that Garrett A. Hobart
secured the plum for Colonel Toffey.
Heretofore every one, including the
valiant Colonel himself, believed that
General William J Sewell secured the
contract for the Colonel
Ex-Coroner John r. Nugent, of New
York, has had the contract for three years
and he is very 10th to believe that his lease
on the good thing has come to close.
He will not believe it until he is officially
notified of it. He SAYS he is
certain that Senator Fassett. of New York,
did nothing to aid Colonel Toffey in OBJ
tanning the contract, as has been stated.
