Cattle Meandering About with the Aid
of Blue Eye Glasses.
The winter in Moravia has been so ex-
tremely severe that the whole country has
been covered with mantle OF snow since
November. The reflection of the light
upon the snow has been SO binding that
tens of thousands of cattle have been at
tackled with opthalmia.
At the suggestion of Dr.. verincourt, Of
the Government Department. Of Agricul-
ture, quite a number of farmers have had
recourse TO blue spectacles in order to
preserve the eyesight Of their herds, and
on ons farm OF a single province over four
thousand animals are now meauderinx
about with the aid OF blue eye glasses.
The entire supply of blue glass in
Vienna has been exhausted, and It has
been found necessary to obtain additional
supplies in Paris and London It is said
that the Chamber at its next session viii
make a special appropriation 10 reimburse
the farmers and stock keepers tor the out

An English farmer who Is now in
Vienna says that the sight Of thousands
of cattle groping their way through tina
snow with their eyes encgsed In Immense
blue goggles Is one that can neither be

NOT THE RIPPER.
The Arrest of q HOb0ken Miscreant
Starts an Exciting Rumor
In HObOken.

There was considerable excitement at
Hoboken Police Headquarters this morn
ing when it became rumored that a man
who was arrested while irving 20 assault
woman in a miserable hovei in the
Foarth ward bore a stri king resemblance
to Jack the Ripper The rumor that
the Ripper had been caught reached the
street. and when Recorder McDonough
opened court there was quite q crowd
present.
At about half-past five o'clock this
morning. while Policeman Hearn and
Gerken were patrolling their post on
Clinton street they heard a woman
scream. The screams came from stable
in the rear yard of lot OF tenements.
The woman screamed again and then all
was still.
The policemen with clubs ready hur-
ried through the dark yard to the stable
In the rear All was darkness In the
stable. but they could hear mans voice
muttering:-.f you scream again will
strangle YOU"
Quickly lighting a match the police
man peered into one Of the stalls. There
they saw a woman struggling with a
blear-eyed ruffiau. As soon as Policeman
Gerken caught sight OF the fellow he ut
tered an exclamation OF surprise.
Jack the Ripper, or am greatly mis-
taken" he cried.
Alongside of the couple was a half
empty bottle Of whiskey. Man and
woman were marched to the station
house. The fellow was too drunk to give
his name. The woman said she was
Nellie Esther, and that she was twenty
nine years old. She was servant, she
said, and had no particular place OF resi-
dence. A great deal Of interest was man
ifested in her companion by the police as
they thought they had the Ripper.
But in court the fellow gave his name
as James Trainor ana his address at No.
63 Clinton street.
Sergeant Marnell recognized him as be-
ing arrested before and the sensation
flzzled out. The woman said in court
that she met rainor about four O'Clock
yesterday morning and that he induced
her to drink whiskey. Then he brought
her into the stable and tried to assault
her, when she screamed and the police
came. Both Of the prisoners were sent TO
the County jail.

WHERE Is SUPERINTENDENT HARVEY


Special to the Jersey CITY Eeses.
CAMDEN. April 81, 1s91.-The long looked
for collapse of the Benevolent Order of
Earnest Workers came Saturday morn
ing, and the scene in and around the
Office in this city was one that will be re-
membered very wildly by the hundre ds
of poor ssdupes" who stood around the
street In the vicinity, and discussed the
probabilities of their ever receiving back
any Of their hard earned cash which they
had paid into the "Benevolenr Order"
with the vain hope Of getting In return
three dollars for every one dollar paid in.
The main Office in this city was at
Second and Federal streets, and was IN
charge of w. S. Simpson, Secretary. and
1t is stated by that individual that Cam
den furnished about 1000 members, q
number of whom had been in the order
the required time and had received their
promised check. The maturing Of large
humber OF certificates, however, was
more than the Benevolent Order could
stand, and the supreme officers realizing
that they could not pull in any more
dupes and their hard earned dollars
'threw up the sponge" and the money
in the treasury, said to amount to s132, 900,
will now be divided among about 30. 900
certificate holders. A large number OF
these certificate holders have paid In from
$50 to SCI each. of which, IL is presumed,
the supreme officers have DeneYoiently
put away the larger amount as a reserve
fund-for themselves.
The greater number of the members
are from the working classes and the loss
falls on them very heavily and threats
are openly made against the supreme
officers II they put in an appearances.
There are, however, q goodly number OF
men and women In good circumstances
who went into the concern on a purely
speculative basis, and these members
take the affair philosophically, not caring
to let the public know that they are In
cluded among the dupes.
The office here has been seized and the
manager of the main office has placed the
society in the hands of an assignee.
The many societies of this kind which
have recently sprung up have created a
perfect mania among the employees Of
business offices, until very little else was
talked of and in consequence OF the drain
of money to pay into the orders, business
men report a very dull state of business
In nearly every branch Of trade except the
aforesaid orders.
The scenes around the Philadelphia
office were more exciting than those in
this city, and so great was the indtgna-
tion that Supreme Manager II. w. Har-
ris was with difficulty rescued from the
mob by detail of police from the Sixth
District James II. Shakespeare is the
assignee of the concern, aud a pro-rata
dividend will be declared, which will
probably amount to about four dollars for
each certificate holder
