One OF Natures humorists seems to
be Private John Allen, Of Mississippi.
Recently coming into the House at
the close OF a roll-call several members
shouted out tc him to vote. Promptly
he stepped forward and said: "Mr.
Speaker, how did Colonel Moore vote
ON the question:" The inquiry vas
unusual. but the Speaker informed
him that Colonel Moore had voted
aye. "Then I vote ave." said the
joker. II don't know what the bill
is, but Moore was my Colonel in tho
Confederate army, and he never led

I'll stick to him."

JOHN HOWARD PAYNE's CRUEL

Tho Author OF "Home. Sweet Home"
. Wanted It Ab0v" All Things.
John Howard Payne, the author Of
"Sweet Home" was when a young man
deeply in love with Mary Harden, a
southern girl of grace and beauty. The
New England Magazine recalls the fol-
lowing incident concerning the two,
which serves to show that even poets
may sometimes present themselves In
Prosaic phases. .
One morning, while Payne was stay
ing in the town where the young lady
lived, he entered her house with a pale
and dismal face.
"Miss Mary" he asked, pathetically,
'tdo you know what Cruel isP"
."Indeed I do" she answered. why,
what is the matter?"

NO STRIKE PROBABLE.
Engineers on the Reading Combine
Dissatisfied, but Can Find
No Excuse for Fight.

1t was reported yesterday that the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
would hold meeting last night to dis
cuss the effect of the Reading combine
upon their interests. There has of late
been much discontent manifested by the
employees of the Reading, Lehigh Valley
and New Jersey Central Railroads. The
men complain that steadily but surely re-
ductions In the train forces are being
made which amount almost to sweep.
In round numbers it is said that sixteen
freight and eleven passenger trains, in
consequence of the combine, have been
withdrawn from the Lehigh Valley and
Jersey Central That means, if true,
twenty-seven engineers, twenty-seven
firemen and large number of conductors
and brakemen who have been thrown
out.
The trains which have been discon-
tiuued are rendered unnecessary by these
two competing lines passing into the con-
troll of one company. For the most part
the trains ran between Easton, Pa, and
MRuch Chunk, Pa, but it is asserted that
four trains which were on the schedule
between Jersey City and Bound Brook
before the. deal have been discontinued
Nvce. Owning two roads traversing the
saAle country the Reading company sees
M wisdom in having two do the business
Gaeh one can do it.

a meeting was held yesterday by the
to the surface a most horrible condition
of affairs on Railroad avenue, between
Henderson and Warren streets. Recently
Frank Gallery and several other citizens
requested the Health authorities to send
an inspector to this thoroughfare to ascer-
tain its condition.
Inspector Allen was directed to make
the investigation. He reported the result
to the Board yesterday. He found that
the sewer on Railroad avenue was stopped
up or obstructed in some manner. This

yards and cesspools. The condition
is frightful one, and, il not remedied
before hot weather, the Health authori-

of the street is literally filled up with
ashes and garbage. The odor from the

is claimed by Inspector Sa!tonstall that
they made a very disagreeable smell.

FINANCIERS AT WORK.
City Hospital Sewer.-A Queer School
Demand

City Hospital sewer.-A Queer School
Demand.
Commissioners Edelstein, Kenny and
Allen met this morning at the Board of
Finance office in City Hall and held a
short session. The official bond of Fire
Commissioner w. f. Kern in SIS, 600, with
Phillip E. Martin and Owen Mcguire as
sureties, was received and accepted. 1t
was decided to place at the disposal of the
Police Commissioners $1,000 for the pur-
chase of the Rudderat property adjoining
the City Hospital grounds. This purchase
is made to permit the construction OF the
sewer from the Hospital and wing to
the sewer in Montgomery street.
In connection with improving public
buildings it was decided to raise $4,000
on bonds bearing not more than per
cent. interest, to complete the new Fifth
precinct station house In Greenville.
This extra appropriation is made under
law passed by the last Legislature.
The petition of the Board of Education
for an appropriation Of $4,000 for
the payment of the salaries
of the new public schools
No. 90 and "a was referred for future in-
vestigation. Before making this appro-
priation, the Finance commissioners wish
TO know the number of extra teachers to
be engaged and the salaries to be paid
each. The Board adjourned to meet Sat
urday morning at half past eleven.

speak without his consent. They will
meet, however, this afternoon at Stem
zil's Hall, on Noble street.

A BROWN PLACE VETO.
The Mayor Considers the Street Actioi

The Mayor Considers the Street Action
Hasty-AIay Be Oyerruled.
Considerable surprise was caused at
the Office of the Board of Street and
Water Commissioners this morning when
it became known that Mayor Cleveland
had vetoed the resolution passed by the
Board of Street and Water Commission
ers declaring Brown place public street.
The veto is probably the last one that
will ever be written by Mayor Cleveland. !.
On good authority, it was learned by a
JERSEY CITY News reporter that the
veto would not be sustained. 1t will lay
over under the rules for one week and
the original resolution then adopted, not
withstanding the objections of his Honor,
the Mayor.
The veto is as follows:-
To the Board of Street and Water Commits
SionerS:
GENTLEMEN:-The resolution passed by your
Board at the meeting held April 4, declaring q
certain strip of land, through which the sewer
known as the Brown Place sewer has been con-
structed to be public street, is herewith return
ed without signature. The moment a street is
opened demand is made for the expenditure of
money upon it, whether the same is of any value
to the public to the immediate owners of
abutting property. In this case there is no need
or call for public street covering the strip of
land at question, nor would it be of any value to
the CITY or the immediate neighborhood, and ]
think the action was hasty. II the time shall
come when street is needed over that strip Of
land il can hen be opened as public street, but
such need does not exist at this time.

'eduction of force the company mas not
made the discharges in accordance With
the age of the men in the SER
vice. They also make the point that
when the deal was made. and even when
the bill TO legalize it was before the Leg
islature. it broadly claimed that this was
not combination of freight interests. but
that it was merely TO bring about the
cheap mining and transportation OF coal.
The men also assert that there Is uni
versal feeling that if this combination Is
for the protection of the coal interests, 1t
should not result with wholesale dis
charges of trained employees in the freight
and passenger service who have given
their lives to the companies.
The Brotherhood, of course, have no
craft interest in the men employed in
other branches, but the treatment OF
mechanics and others has tended to inten-
sify the feeling. The shops at Bethle-
hem, Pa, have been practically discontin-
ued. throwing many mechanics out or
work. The machinists and other mechan-
les in the Lehigh Valley shops at Easton,
Pa, have been on half time since April l.
Many OF them have been for years in the
employ of the company. They have been
shops at Communipaw that they can
quit"
COAL PORTS WIPED OUT.
In Jersey City the feeling has been
"panicky," and it has become more so
during the last few days, when it came
to be generally known that two or more
of the distributing points for coal at tide
water would be discontinued. When
that is done it will be a sweep worth re-
cording. The story-which apparently
has foundation in fact-is that Elizabeth
port and Port Johnson are to be practi-
cally wiped off the map.
The Abandonment of Port johnson and
Elizabethport would at once mean the
throwing out of employment of about
five hundred hands. And general con-
solidation in the way of coal terminals,
such as that step would indicate, would
mean the discharge of a great many
freight crews.
Last night / asked O prominent loco
motive engineer on the Reading, If he
thought there would he strike and he
replied. mo"
"You see, the men may not like the
actions or the combine" " he said. "but they
have no defensible grounds for striking.
The Company has perfect right to re.
duce Its trains, workshops and force OF
men. There Is no reduction in pay or in
crease in the hours for work. The only
complaint the men have is of the reduc-
tions made. No, do not think there will
be strike"

The New Hampshire Afioat.

The steamer New Hampshire, built for
the Providence g. Stonington Steamship
Company by Harlan & Hollingsworth
of Wilmington. Del, started on her trial
trip early this morning from the latter
place. The New Hampshire Is a sister
Ship to the Maine, recently completed by
the same builders for the Stonington
Company, which has. since her arrival In
New York, been universally admired.
The two vessels present an entirely new
tvpe of Sound steamer, being radically
different from any vessels heretofore seen
on these waters, and. as the Maine has
proven great success, it Is believed hy
those we'll posted in such matters that
they will bring about revolution In
Sound steamers from the side-wheei to
the propeller type.
The New Hampshire is exactly like the
Maine in every respect. except in the col
ors of carpets and furniture.

Jury for his client, and Prosecutor Win
field entreated the jury to convict the

dive by the Prosecutor was very effective.
THE JUDGES CHARGE.
When Judge Lippincott charged the
jury he pointed out the law in the case
ana what 1t would be necessary to find
for the jury to convict. The Judge then
made an exhaustive review of the history
of the day commonly called Sunday and
he traced it through It's various condi-
tions since the Christian era down to the
present day. Everywhere, the Judge
said, Sunday was observed in some man
ner, and the statute books of this State
pointed out how the day should be OBJ
served here. He said it was for the jury
to determine whether Cronheim had vio-
lated these laws.
In exactly seven minutes after the jury
retired it entered the court with verdict
Of guilty. Judge Lippincott pronounced
the sentence at once.
