DRINK DID IT.
Lively Row in a Hoboken Variety
Shop-Women In 1t.

Prof. j. Loris, theatrical ''dead shot,
spent last night in cell at Hoboken.
After some tall hustling the Professor OBJ
tanned bail this morning, ana gained his
freedom.
The charge on which he was arrested
was assault, and the complainant was
Harry Pike, a burnt cork comedian.
Pike, it is said, purposely had the war
rant served at an hour when his assailant
could not procure bail, and laughed
exultantly when he saw the cell door
close on the Professor.
From the story told by Pike there must
have been decidedly lively lime. Pike
was getting ready for his act in the mems
dressing room of the variety shop where
they play. Several other performers
were present, among them man who is
little deaf. He began to talk in loud
voice and spoke disparaignly of several
female members of the company. They
were in an adjoining room and heard
what was said about them.
Suddenly Alice Williams, the champion
female wrestler followed by several
others of her sex, went in search of Prof.
Loris. They found him and asked him
to quiet the man who was insulting them.
Prof. Loris is a big, broad shouldered
man, and very powerful He was
greatly enraged. The Professor says
that when he went into the
dressing room he noticed that several
of abe men were drunk. Louis thought
it was Harry Pike that was usin g the in
sulting language and accused him. Pike
denied it. The lie was passed when sud-
denly Loris' right shot out and caught
Pike on the eye. Pike was dazed but
quickly retallated.
Then things were lively. The women
~
formers took hand in it. Policeman
Thomas McAleer forced his way in and
succeeded in separating the beligerents.
Yesterday Rike, who had black eye. got
warrant from Justice Seymour.
The Professor said this morning that
the trouble would not have occurred If
drinks had not been served behind the
scenes. He saps that he will forbid anv
drinks being served to his company here
after,

CITY HALL SITE.
Wittpenn Still Holds 0ut-James
Hunt Gets the Amount Claimed.

The City Hall Commissioners met this
morning again. After the meeting 1t was
announced that the Commissioners had
decided to give James Hunt $500, the
price asked for his property on the site OF
the proposed new building. Julius Witt
pen still refuses to accept less than $25
900 for his property. The Com
missioners refuse to give more
than $4,000, and have decided
to condemn the property. Papers to that
effect were served upon Mr.. Wittpen
yesterday afternoon. Possibly Mr. Witt
pen and the Commissioners may yet ad-
just matters satisfactorily without ap-
pealing to the Courts. From remarks
let drop by the Commissioners, infer
that they are still living in that hope.
They valued Mr.. Wittpen's property at
5000, but advanced to $4,000 sooner
than miss fee simple deed Co the prop
erty, which they will not acquire if con-
demnation proceedings are resortsd to.

STEAMSHIPS COMING.
Hoboken Likely TO Be the Great
Western Terminus of Ocean
Traffic in Future.

Hoboken is destined to become as great
a steamship terminus as this city Is in the
railroad line. At the present time four
big ocean steamship lines land in that
city, and within the next year at least two
more steamship companies that at pres
ent have their piers in New York will
erect docks and warehouses on the Hobo
ken shore.
The Hamburg American Packet Com
pany is sorely cramped for room. 1t will
be remembered that some years ago the
old piers of the company, known at that
time as the Eagle Docks, were destroyed
by fire. The loss was very heavy. The
company at once erected two new piers.
steamship piers in the United States.
Lately the traffic, but particularly the
freight traffic. of the Humburg line has
increased so rapidly that several new ships
have been added to the fleet. Now the
company finds it hard to dock the ships
as they arrive, and 1t is said that they are
negotiating with the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company, which controls some OF
the water front adjoining, for lease in
order to erect a new pier.
The Bremen Steamship Company,
whose piers are at the foot OF Third
street, are even in worse plight owing
to their lack of room. They will prob
ably build another pier shortly. 1t is
authoratively stated that the company
intends to run a direct line to Italy.
The handsome new piers of the Rotter-
dam line present q busy scene daily, and
so do the piers of the Washington line.
An average of two steamers land daily at

prised this morning by the announcement
that the franciscan Order of st. Mary
had ceased to exist as a religious

Cecilia Nicodo, one of the Eldorado

some days ago, attached 100 worth of
stock which Bolossy Kiralfy holds in the
Palisade Amusement Company.
Kiralfy employd Bedle & Van Wrinkle
of Hoboken, who Immediately lifted the
attachment by depositing a check tor
$500. Kiralfy says the claim is unjust
and exorbitant.
The dancer claims that Kiralfy owes
her $500 on two notes given for money
loaned, and $66 for unpaid salary. The
Attorneys for Kiralfy have offered
the dancer the amount due to her, but
she refuses to accept and demands inter-
est. The case will probably come up at
the next term of court and kiralfy's at
torneys say there is no chance Of the
dancer recovering the interest she
