ASSAULTED A GIRL.
But Schroeder Had Pull With Ho-
boken Justice.

DOken - uSClCo.
John Schroeder. young man well
known in Hoboken and prominent
member of the Atlantic Boat Club, was
arrested by Policeman David V. Fall last
night on Washington street. Hoboken,
charged with disorderly conduct.
This morning, strange to say. there was
no complaint against Schroeder, and the
policeman did not tell his story of the ar
rest. There was an effort made by the
police to keep the facts of the arrest from
the reporters which was not successful.
1t appears that Mary Pheiffenberg, q
pretty German servant girl. was walking
up Washington street when Schroeder,
who appeared to be slightly under the
influence of liquor, accosted the girl. She
Then Schroeder grabbed her around the
waist and she screamed.
The street was thronged at the time,
and a crowd soon collected. In the ex-
citement Schroeder escaped.
The young woman, who was very much
frightened, related her experience TO sew
eral young men in the crowd, among
whom was Herman Klumt, foreman at
Hexamer's Riding Academy. They started
in pursuit, and caught Schroeder at Fifth
street. The young woman positively
identified him as her assailant, and Po-
liceman Fall was called.
Fall knew Schroeder and did not want
to arrest him. Mr.. Klumt insisted, how
ever. and Schroeder was locked uD.
Sehroeder's story is that the young
woman made advances to him. Those
who saw and conversed with the girl say
that she is extremely modest Recorder
McDonough discharged Schroeder.

The Chancellor Appoints a Receiver for
Mrs. Peshalrs Property
Chancellor McGill today decided to ap-
point a receiver over the property of
Charles ]. Peshall and his wife. A suit
to foreclose two mortgages on this
property, which Mr.. Peshall claims
is worth $4,000 has been begun
by Cassius H. Reed of New YORK.
This matter is but a side issue to the legal
contest that was started some time ago
by Mr.. Reed against Mr.. Peshall
While Lawyers Douglas and Cowles
were discussing the value of the property
the Chancellor remarked
This property has been valued at
about 81, 900 by the tax assessor. and he
is sworn to be as accurate as possible"
"Yes," said ex-Judge Douglas, but he
always breaks his OATH"
"Oh. Idon't know about that, 'retorted
the Chancellor; 'he generally assesses
me from 75 to 80 per cent. of the value.
He even went as high as ITO per cent on
one OCCASION"
"Ah, CHANCELLOR" commented Ex-
Judge Douhl SIS, "that assessor did not
know you. he thought you were a nom
resident"
The lawyers and Chancellor smiled
broadly at this. and then the case pro-

NEW WATER OUTLET.
Government Wants Jersey City to
Supply Ellis Island.

The immigration authorities on Ellis
Island. are in a quandary in regard to
their water supply. AT present every
drop of water used by the army of regular
employees. as well as the enormous quaint
ity required by the immigrants and in
The restaurant, has to be carried. aboard
tugs, from New York.
The recent severe weather has made
this supply very uncertain, and the situa-
tion has been rendered more embarrass-
ing by the failure of the artesiau wells to
furnish an adequate quantity or whole
some quality of drinking water.
The following letter, which explains
itself, was received by Street and Water
Commissioner e. A. Dugan, Friday
U. S. IMMIGRATION COMMISSIONERS OFFICE,
PORT OF NEW YORK,
January %. 1892. J
Superintendent of the Water Department,
JerseU City,
DEAR SIR,-I would like to meet representa-
tive of the Water Department of your city for
the purpose of making some arrangement
whereby this bureau secure a supply of
water from Jersey City. We are now using
from six to seven million gallons each month. If
such an arrangement can be made. will you
kindly inform when and where l can SO the
proper authorities? Very respectfully,
JOHN B. W EBER,
Commissioner Of Immigration.
Commissioner Dugan said Saturday
that the letter will receive prompt atten-
tion, as it offers an excellent opportunity
to increase the revenues of the Water De-
partment of this city.
ELLIS Island seems to use a pretty
large amount of water" he said, "but we
have plenty, and the returns would be
very acceptable, considering the present
condition of the finances of the Water
Department, 1 can't say what arrange
,fe1 h. nd 70 laItr t1a
on the island. but no contract will be en-
tered into unless it is to the city's ad-
vantage"
Ellis Island lies something less than a
mile from Jersey City's nearest water
main. A supply pipe could be laid under
the bay to the island, as is probably con-
templated by the immigration authori-
ties In such case the city will hardly
enter into any contract unless the Gov
ernment constructs the pipe line.

High Tariff and French Importers,

PARIS. Feb. 1. 1S92.-There were many
exciting scenes at the various French
ports yesterday, owing to the efforts of
shpmasters and consignees to get their
cargoes entered at he custom houses be-
fore the new tariff went into effect.
Several Spanish wine steamers arrived
at Bordeaux at minute before six O'Clock
last night. Their captains had driven
the vessels at their top speed. and were
very indignant when they went TO enter
their vessels and cargoes to find the GUS
tom house close for the day.
One captain managed to get his papers
into the hands of the customs officials
just us the hour struck. This. however.
was all that was necessary, and his cargo
escaped the higher duty, which would
have amounted to 6,000 francs more than
what will be paid.

New YORK, Feb. l, 1S99.-The defense OF

examined the heart. the valves and
muscles of the heart. the ovaries and tubes.

The Elder Stranded on the Isle
Of Wight.

LONDON. Feb. 1, 1sS2.-The North Ger
man Lloyd steamer Elder, Captain
Heinecke, which left New York January
90, for Bremen, ran ashore at St. CATH
crimes Point, the southern extremity or
the Isle of Wight, at ten o'clock last
night.
A neavy fog prevailed at the time the
steamer struck. but it is not known how
she came to be so far off her course, or
how she took bottom before the officers
found she was Swallowing water.
A lifeboat crew have gone to the
stranded steamer to render whatever aid
lies in their power. The despatch added
that the Elder might float at the next
high water.
A later dispatch says that the Elder is
lying on Atherfield Ledge. To judge
from her position she evidently was
carried by a roller about half way
over the ledge, and was then dropped on
the rocks. She lies with her bow and
stern iu comparatively deep water, her
midship section resting on the ledge,
Tugs have been despatched to get her
off if possible on flood tide. NOBODY has
as yet landed from her. The dispatches
do not state whether the steamer is leak
ing or whether she has sustained any
serious Damage,

The Club Was Intending to
Open Some Time During

Fire and Water Ruin Some Of
the Carpets and Valuable
Furniture.
Decorations Suffer HEAVILY
But Little Damage to the
Building.

The handsome new Minneapolis club
will not be opened next week. Fire
got into it last night. Some OF the pco-
pie who live in the vicinity of Sixth
street and First avenue. so they say,
saw light in the basement as early as
10 O'Clock. The alarm was not
sent i'll until nearly II. Before
it could be eXtinguished the fire
had eaten big hole in the floor, charred
the walls and burned large section of
the stairway. The club would have
been opened early next week. Much of
the furniture had been put in and car
pets were beng laid. The damage
will not be far from $1,000. OF
this sum little more than $1,000
is on the building proper. The
remainder will fall on the furniture and
decorations. The fire started in the
basement in a room remote from the
boilers. 1t could not we'll have been
communicated from them. 1t might
have originated in a quantity of paint
stored in the basement. Most of the
damage was confined to the basement
and first floor.
Architect Whitney arrived on the
scene later, and says the fire must have
originated in the basement. Here
men were at work ;rfl day fixing steam
pipes, and were using naked lights.
The architects estimate of the damage
is 5000 to $4,000. and he says it will
be SIX weeks before the building is
ready to be occupied.

AN OPEN LETTER.
DR.. NeiIl Discusses the School
Question at Length.

DR.. NeiTl Discusses the School
Question at Length.
A. I. Ankeny, President Minneapolis
Board of Education: Many will read
with satisfaction the abstracts of your
address at the state university lastnight
as reported in this days papers. 1t eX-
presses the principles of Washington,
Madison and their associates who
framed the constitution of the United
States. The members of the convention
of 17S7 were generally friendly to re-
ligion, and after much delIberation sew
cred the connection between church and
state, believing that the alliance formed
by Emperor Constantine and persisted
in by all European governments had
been injurious to religion. The position
of the constitution adopted by the peO-
pie of the United States in 1889 is that
all classes of religiOniStS shall have
equal protection as long as they do not
disturb the peace of the commonwealth.
Violations of the constitution have
crept into the administration of our gov
eminent. The money in the national
treasury is collected from all classes
and conditions for purely civil purposes.
1t cannot be used for religious services
or propagandiSm.
w liCI IldI CUI-
gresS had elected chaplainS and paid
them with the peoples money raised for
another purpose, he wrote: at would
have been much better proof to their
constituents of their piOus feeling if the
members had contributed for the pur-
pose a pittance from their own peck
ets:" and in another letter, "ReligiOn
fouriShes in greater purity without
than with the aid of government"
The state of Michigan has wisely en-
acted that no money shall be taken from
its treasury to pay for religious services
for its poor, its convicts, or its legislat-
,ors. The constitution Of Minnesota eX-
preSsly forbidS the use of public money
to promote the interests of any class of
religionistS. The regents of the univer-
sity have no right to allow Christian
Association hall, a Roman Catholic
chapel, or Hebrew synagogue OH their
grounds. They cannot institute Chris
tian service of any kind. The rights of
Hebrew parents must be respected.
Their sons and daughters must go to the
university and not have their religious
prejudices offended by listening to a
prayer to Christ or God. e=s
The United States some years ago
passed law that its diplomatic and
consular officers at public receptions in
foreign countries should appear in the
usual dress of American citizens. 1t
was good public policy. Minnesota will
never allow her teachers to appear in
public school room except in the decent
and becoming dress of the sex to which
they may belong. The discussion that
has been initiated by the action of the
Saltwater and FarDault boards of edu-
cation will, am sure, be productive of
good results. EDWARD d. NELL.
