why the Red Star Docks smeIled Like
Rose Geraniums.
An odor of perfume rare has permeated
the vicinity Of the Red Star docks since
Saturday afternoon. The usual smell of
grease and tar and salt fish has been dis
placed, and in its stead the truckman and
stevedores and clerks and officials are
reveling today in zephers laden with the
costly scent of oil of geranium. An
investigation led TO the discovery that
big case co containing at least twelve gal
lon cans of the delicate extract, shipped
from Antwerp somehow sprung a
leak on the dock. AS the oil ocZed
through the cracks of the case and spread
its delicate perfume broadcast the smell
is said to have actually frightened some
of the superstitious freight handlers.
who hastily disappea red, but the officials
say their disappearance was more likely
caused by fear OF being accused Of care
lessly handling the case. The oil flowed
through the creyices of the case and
formed a puddle on the pier floor. A
lot of uckmen soon tumbled to the
racket, and actually wallowed in the Pud-
die, and 1t was not long before Hudson
street sue He'd like a conservatory.
The case has not yet been opened,
though the leakage has stopped
Whether one or more of the caus was
emptied is not known. The officials are
investigating the accident. Meanwhile

Gated. besides having q wound on the

MARTIN WARD ARRESTED.
Charged with Cruelty to His Fiery, Un-
tanned Bucephatns


tanned Buccphains
One of Jersey City's most open hearted,
generous citizens. the far famed Justice
Martin Ward, was for the first time in his
life arraigned before the bar of justice
this afternoon. 1t WAS on a charge of
cruelty to animals. Martin went out to
Secaucus this morning to collect some
money.
He is sole owner of an emaciated hide
covered structure which be Is D leased to
term q horse. Malicious people say
Martin brought the animal from Ireland
fifty years ago. 1t having gradual ted from
a herring wagon. II is about the
size of q Shetland pony aud the
wagon which it is supposed TO drag is
large enough to hold ton of coal. 1t is
about three feet higher than the horse.
nnd with the seven-foot Martin driving
the sight is striking and peculiar. The
driUe from Secaucus fatigued the beast.
and when Martin pulled upin front OF the
City Hail, the animal was rocking to and
with a view to persuading the beast
into action, seized bale
stick, used it Ms whip and
laid it on tor all he was worth. Each
thump emitted sound similar to that Of
base drum. A crowd gathered and

continue beating pulled up one leg of his
trousers, showed down his stocking. pulled
out a rusty ten cent piece, rushed up
TO Heller's saloon, bought tnmberful Of
rum and forced it down the beasts
throat. This had a tendency to put new
life into the pet. and Martin was heard
to remark, "That's waste of good
money"
He mounted the seat once more and
again began beating the horse. He was
letting himself out 10 the fullest extent
when George McAneuy, Of the City Treas
urer's office, appeared on the scene and
caused his arrest. Martin was arraigned
before Justice Weed and required 10 fur
nish $500 bail TO appear before Justice Davis
tomorrow morning. Justice Martinez
later admitted Martin TO bail in his own
recognizance. The excited Ward says
that Mr.. McAneny caused his arrest be-
cause he has been bothering for s25 he
loan ed him months ago. McAneDy
says that the claim has already been paid,
hut no one who knows Martin believes
that he woHld ever try to collect claim
a second time.

SUNDAYS OUTINGS.
How Jersey City People Enjoyed
The mselves Yesterday.

Rain threatened until late in the sfte r
noon yesterday, but that did not prevent
many persons from enjoy ing the day out
Of doors. although the air was chock full
OF humidity.
Crabbin appeared to be the favorite
sport, and from early in the mo rning
until late at night the Greenville e street
cars were pstronizsd by parties carrying
nets. baskets, bait or crabs. Tney were
all in joyous moods. Grabs In New York
and Newark bays are unusually plentiful
this year and those who sought them
yesterday had good luck The catch
averaged seventy-five crabs to a dozen
one hundred beats before nine O'Clock.
and others who had boats to let could
not meet the demand.
on Murphy's dock at Communipaw
avenue, the Cove was filed with small
crafts of every description. There were
also many who sought to entice the wary
weakfish to play with the tempting she'd
der crab on the concealed hook, but their
luck was not SO good.
In the evening, when the sport loving
people returned to land, the boats they
had used were quickly monopolized by
an entirely different class of pleasure
seekers. They were beaux and bellies.
who permitted the boats TO drift languId-
ly with the tide far enough from shore TO
avoid the mosquitoes. From some OF the
boats the torturing sounds that can only
emanate from an accordion or harmonica
led by voices more or less pleasant and
peals of merry laughter. All were out
for pleasure. and all seemed to receive an
ample supply.
Yacht clubs were active all day, and
both bays were dotted by sail.
WANDERING IN THE WOODS.
Another class OF pleasure seekers were
those who wandered in the Bayview
park and the wood at Saltersyille, where
thew picnicked and ate lunches. Chill
dren amused themselves in swings or
hammecks- The great national game
was likewise feature among boys and
young meu. and bats and balls were
found in nearly every vacant lot. Bath
ing was also greatly enjoyed by very
large number.
Driving, however was light The peo-
pie who usually make Arlington and Gar
field avenues SO lively Sunday were
nearly all out of town; still enough
sought Bergen Point to keep Mcdonald
busy with clam bakes until late In the
night.
Going north from Newark avenue the
people all seemed to have but tive points
in view. By far the greater number went
to Eldorado Park. which was crowded to
OVERT owing. There excellent music was
fu furnished, and during the afternoon and
evening cool breeze was enjoyed The
performance of King Solomon was en-
joyed by ten Thousand people.
The other place seugrr was Schuetzen
Park. The grounds were well patroniEed
and band of more or less merit dis
coursed music, while the people endeav-
ored to keep cool by the aid Of summer
beverages. Altogether. hot as the daY
was. the heat and humidity failed &c pre-
vent those who sought enjoyment from
obtaining it.
During the day thousands of people in
this county sought the seashore or q sail
up the HUDSON or elsewhere.
