A VERY CRUEL JOKE.

Some TouGhs Rig Up Straw Man to
Scare Car Driver.
One of the Summit and Pavonia avenue
line cars of the North Hudson Company
was bowling along down the grade to-
ward Pavonia avenue last night, when
suddenly the driver. uttering shrek,
drove his hand brakes down and brought
the car to sudden stop that threw the
passengers into promiscuous cap near
the front door.
The conductor jumped from the rear
platform and the crowd scrambled out
side. ''My Godp' shouted the driver,
"Ive run over man."
A pair of crushed legs prctruded from
under one of the front wheels. A crowd
soon gathered. Several women and timid
men almost tainted at the spectacle, and
such expressions as "Terriblep isn't It a
pity" II wonder who the poor fellow isp'
were heard while g-shouldered men
pushed back the cars and tender hands
laid hold of the unfortunate.
Suddenly the good Samaritans drew
back with faces aghast.
"Why, It's a ID OLD straw man."
said one; "the boys are playing tricks on
u.s."

PLANNING FOR HARRISON
General SeweIl's Lieutenants Give
New Jersey Republicans
Their Orders.

The Republican State Committee made
one of it's periodical appearances before
the public yesterday, did great deal OF
talking, very little thinking and then
sunk out of sight again, Among this
band of patriots" who gathered at Tay-
lor's Hotel l observed John Kean, Jr..
astride his "bar'l'; Garret A. Hobart was
as close to him as sweet heart; Richard
Reading looked as IL he was paiued by
the recent defeat of the p Il. h. at Tren-
ton; John 4. Foster made himself busy
assuring Democratic reporters OF Repub-
lican victories in the future. j. Herbert
Potts and K. B. Seymour vera also there,
but they had but little to say. Colonel
John ]. Toffey and his twin, Major x. j.
Anderson, were decidedly talkative and
Carl Lentz made hard race to even with
them. Jimmy Young and another wall
flower, vino was not labelled, seemed
pleased by what they heard.
PRESIDENTIAL PLANNINGs.
The committee first decided to hold the
convention to elect delegates-at-larCe 70
the Minneapolis Convention on April ~
at Taylor's Opera House. Trenton. A
report was read which stated tnaG neao-
quarters in the Nicollet House, Minne-
apolis, had been secured for the National
Convention and all Jerseymen were In
vited to go there.
The convention at Trenton will elect
four delegates-at-larg and four alter
mates, and the eight Congressional dis
tricts will elect sixteen delegates, with
the same number of alternates. The call
which has been issued by the committee
recommends that the District Conven-
tions be held to elect State Committee
men on the same day that the State Con-
vention will be held. With the exception
of Newark, this advice Will be followed.
Newark will select some other day.
FOR HARRISON,
The State Committee yesterday ap-
peared to be very much in favor of Har-
rison, and the impression was created
that the twenty delegates to be elected
will he nledced to President Harrison,

NASTINESS ALL AROUND.

Husband and Wife Charge Infldelity and
Bigamy in Court.
Matthias Zeibold and Mrs. Mary FL.
Metz was arrested by Detective Keen
an yesterday at No. 81 Beacon avenue for
living together unlawfully as
man and wife. The woman's
husband. Henry P. Metz, of No.
90 Stanton street. New York, complained
Yesterday that his wife ran away with
Zeibold, who formerly boarded with him,
on November last, when Zeihold boarded
with him at No. "a Rose avenue, Green
vile.
All hands were in Police Justice Davis
court this morning. Mrs. Metz, who is
brown eyes, held a pretty. and we'll
dressed child in her arms. The deserted
husband was accompanied by six-year-
old boy. Mrs. Metz took her baby along
with her when she rnn off with Ziebold. :,
When Zeibold boarded with the Metz
both worked In the same factory in New
York. Mrs. Metz declared in
from her husband because he
Ill treated and abused her and drank up
all his earnings. She said she doubted
il she was Metz's lawful wife, as she had
the best of reasons to believe he was al
ready married to woman from whom he
was divorced when he married her.
Metz made no reply to this accusation.
Mrs. Metz said to reporter for THE
NEWS after court that she would make an
effort to prove that Metz was bigamist.
She said she had a sister living in New
York who had picture of the father of
Metz's first wife, and through this picture
she proposed to trace up the matter. She
intimated that Metz's brother had already
served term for bigamy.
Mrs, Metz admitted she and Ziebold
had lived under the same roof since she
left her husband in November last, but
she claims that Ziebold was only board
ing with her. Both were held for hear
ing tomorrow morning.

TEACHERS MODEST REQUESTS.

The Hoboken Ones Do Not Like the Way
They Are Docked for Absence.
AT the meeting of the Hoboken Board
of Education last night a lengthy COM
muDication was received from the Teach
ers' Association, dwelling on the hard
ships of teachers life and asking for
many favors. One was that a new sys-
tenn of deducting salaries be adopted.
Under the present system. the school
month is regulated at the actual number
of school days, which is generally twenty
days, and If teacher is absent three
days she loses 3-20 of her salary. The
teachers say this is unfair, and they
should only lose $50 or 3-81, as the case
may be.
Another prominent request In the COM
munication Is that when O teacher who
has served long and faithfully is taken i'll.
necessitating her absence from school,
her salary should be deducted only for
such time as she Is absent over three
months. The communication was not
acted upon at last nights meeting.

lead of seven. The next pair brought
the lead down to three. Weber, the third
man to shoot, beat his opponent by fif-
teen and the Excelsiors took the lead by
twelve. Charming increased it to four
teen. Pinney defeated his opponent by
three and swelled the majority of the
Jersey City team to seventeen In the

work than his rival from Newark. Han
sen was the only one who tailed and he
had fine target, but Clark. who made
the top score. 243, was seven higher.
When the second section began 1t looked
as ifthe teams would each gain an honor.
