This was the exclamation which escaped
from the lips of Mrs. Flannery of Eighth

O'Clock when she entered the apartments
Of Mrs. Margaret Reddick and discovered
the lifeless body Of the poor woman,

husband was killed on the Erie Railroad,
having fallen from train when return

Ninth street, near Provost, but since the
fathers death the fight with poverty was
a hard one. Little by little they were
forced TO do away with necessary house
hold effects. The children were unable
to secure steady employment, but made a
little from time to time which they gave
their mother. Aunie, the oldest, was
rather wild, but fifteen-Year-old Willie
was a good, obedien5 boy and always en-
couraged his mother.

But Willie's hopes were not realized.

West to see the contest or series, as they
will shoot three matches at 100 birds each.
The birds used were stroug flyers and
buffers were scarce. The rivals are
in marked contrast. Elliott is nervous

had tied at 90 killed and missed. Under
the contract ties are decided at twenty

A Strike at the Hudson River Bridge

Special to the JerseB Citg Nelcs
TRENTON, March 20, 1891. The House
yesterday afternoon repealed bill which
had been passed this session. This unusual
proceeding caused some inquiry which
developed neat little scheme to force an
old charter upon one OF the companies
which have been formed for the purpose of
building bridge across the Hudson River,
which neat little scheme was being sn-
gineered through the Legislature by the
irrepressible Delos Z. Culver. The bill
repealed was one Of three which was in
troduced and put through the Senate by
Senator Werts. One provided that no
bridge could be erected over any part OF
navigable water separating this state
from another State where the tide eoDs
and flows without the consent or the Legls-
lature; another provided that any com
pany chartered by the Legislature with
800 900 of its capital stock subscribed
could perfect It's organization after SlO,O
had been paid in; and the third amended
the corporation act so that any company
organized for constructing bridges, etc,
could sell its stock to another company
for the same purpose,
Some wears ago Culver secured charter
from the Legislature tor a bridge across
the Hudson River which he has carefully J
nursed awaiting an opportunity to unload
ir upon some one. When the two COM
panies were organized to build a bridge
across the river ne saw his chance. But
in order 10 give his charter some value he
has resorted TO this freeze out His nrst
bill makes the companies Esecnre charte IS
from the State. He had one TO sell and 1t
would be much better TO purchase
from him than risk the trouble
and uncertainty of securing il from the
Legislature. A still greater value would
be given the charter if backed by an al
ready organized company. and that brings
in the second bill which allows Mr.. Culver
TO organize respectable appearing com
pany uDon the Insignificant sum Of SlO,-
COO As there might be some question
about the legality OF the sale the third bill
was brought forward TO legallze the con-
solidation of the two companies
So careful has Mr.. Culver been to dis
guise the true inwardness OF the scheme,
that in communicating with those Inter-
ested in it with him, he designates the
component parts as benevolent one, Be
ueyolent two, Benevolent three" The

THE BOARD OF FINANCE.

Proposals for the City Bonds Will Be
Readvertised Owing to the New Laws.
Messrs. Kenny, Allen and Peterson
were the only members present at last
nights meeting Of the Finance Board.
In regard to the proposed issuing of
bonds, owing TO the absence Of President
Edelstein and the fact that new law
touching the matter has been passed by
the Legislature, it was determined to
readvertise and give all an opportunity TO
bid under the new advertisement.
The resolution Of the Street and Water
Board awarding the contract for the i'm
provement of James street from Sip ave-
nue. to Newkirk street to William
Kramer, and the resolution directing the
Clerk of the Street and Water Board to
advertise for 10000 tons Of coal, were con-
CURED ia.
The April interest on bonds, amounting
to 81 7.sl5, was provided for.

York BY His Aunt.
Detective McNally went to New York
today to try and recover the eight-year-old
boy Of Adolph Hartman. Of No. 90 Bowers
street, believed to have been kidnapped
by his aunt yesterday. From what can be
learned OF the matter it appears that
Hartman has been married twice and
that the boy is the son of his first wife.
Annie Kohlwein of Monroe street, Hobo
ken, is a sister of Hartman's first wife
and she had become convinced that the
stepmother did not treat her nephew
properly. Yesterday she saw the
little fellow on a street car
going to school She took him Off the
car and went away with him. She did
not go to her home in Hobokeu and IL is
believed she went to New York to the
house of Charles Hayes, in Eighty ninth
street, near First avenue. Detective Nc
Nally has gone there, and If the child is
not found at this place, viii follow mp
other clews.
Hartman today told Justice Vans er
that his child was properly looked after
by the step-mother, who never abused
him, and that the boy had good home.

HOBOKEN REPUBLICANS.

Downcast Over the Outlook for the Conn
ing Election.
The Republicans of Hoboken held their
primaries last night. There was little ex-
citement, and in only one ward, the
Third, was there opposition to the regu-
lar ticket.
From what can be learned this morning
the Republicans are not very juoilant
over electing anybody at the coming
election. IL is said that John Reed is a
candidate for the Mayoralty, but be is
opposed by some of his own party. IL
Reed should run he could not be elected
Ii is not at all unlikely that the Republi-
cans will endorse Edward r. Stanton,
who will be the regular Democratic
nominee.
It the First Ward the Republicans are
looking for an available candidate, and
Jake Kuper and Chief Applegate of
the Fire Department are spoken OF. In
the Second Ward no candidates are men
tioned. In the Third Ward john Havens
or John Lewis will get the Republican
nomination, but the Democratic nominee
will win hands down. In the Fourth
Ward il is possible that the regular
Democratic nominee will be endorsed

a small bombshell into the House yester-
day afternoon in the shape of motion TO
rescind the resolution by which the House
agreed to adjourn sine die at three p. m-

resolution. The Assembly Redistricting
