ANTI-LiQU0R FANAIlCISM.

Ladies Trace All Evils to Drink as La
fayette NJ. e. Church.
The Young Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union of Lafayette held tenn
perance rally last evening at the Lafay-
cite Methodist Episcopal Church. Mrs
Belle Boyd presided, and Mrs. J. 7. Ellis,
Corresponding Secretary of the New Jer-
sey w. G. Il. u, was introduced as the
speaker of the evening. Her topic was
"1he Consequences of Marrying Young
Men Addicted to Drink"
Drink" said she, has caused more
family quarrels than any Of you imagine.
The Intoxicating cup has broken up hun
dreds of families and left many a child
without father or mother. Many young
women believe that when they marry
they can reform their drinking husbands.
This is foolish, and / would not advise
any young woman to marry young man
who drinks, with the idea that she can
save him. Few young men change after
marriage, at least as far as drink is con.
cerned. Rum has the upper hand and
they can't let GO"
At the close of the meeting a score or
more OF young women joined the society.
During the evening Mr.. A. l.. Graham
played several cornet solos.

They Could Give Some White Ones Points
in Wit and Good Taste.
The musical show given at Woods Hall
last night by the Raymond A. Wilson
Original Georgia Minstrels was i'm
mensely enjoyed by good-sized and ap-
preciative audience of both colored and
white people. Some of the talent included
well-known porters and employees of the
Pennsylvania Railway Company. A num-
ber of clerks in the various departments
patronized their colored friends and were
glad they did so. Certainly some of the
talent was superior to the ordinary pro-
fessioEal talent, and the players showed
excellent Judgment in never allowing
themselves in single case to overdo a
good thing.
Billy Wilson, the plymouth end man,
is one of the best natural negro humor-
lists that ever weEt on stage, and for
eccentric humor has few equals. Frank
Nelson, burly individual with a face as
black as the ace of spades, astonished the
audience with his Irish brogue in singing
several popular Irish songs. Warren E.
Snead, a messenger employed In the office
of Superintendent Crawford at the Penn
sylvania depot, exhibited many pretty
stereopticon views, some of them with
astonishing Phantasmagorial effects. His
illustration of the story of the Rock of
Ages' was especially fine. and his lecture
did him much credit.

PROBABLY HYSTERIA.
Pretty Mrs. Hennessey's
Queer Story of Robbery
and Attempted
Outrage.
But No Harm Done Her. and
Money and Jewelry Un-
tOuched-The Woman
Frustrated.

What may have been fiendish attempt
at an atrocious crime. but is more prob
ably one of those strange cases OF hyster-
ical delusion SO we'll known to the police,
was reported at the Third precinct station
house at about ten o'clock last evening.
When Mr.. John Hennessy, a clerk
for Jeffery & Co., New York,
went to his home at No. 1211
Waverly street. between six and seven
O'Clock, he was surprised to find no re-
sponse to repeated rings at the door
bell. Going around to the rear of his
home, he crawled through an open kit
chen window.
He went through the various rooms of
the house in search of his wife, On the
first floor he saw evidence OF some sort
of struggle having shorty before taken
place. lu the cellar below the Kitchen
he found his wife Alinda. twenty-four
years old, bound and gagged, and lying
on the cement floor UNCONSCIOUS.
A vILLAINoUS ATTEMPT.
Her clothing was torn aud disarranged
in such a manner as to Immediately
suggest to the horror stricken hus band
that fiendish assault had been committed
upon his young wife. The diamond rings
she wore had disappeared. But q gold
ring upon one of her fingers was still in
place.
When Mrs. Hennessy came to she was
in bed and her husband and n physician
were standing over her. DR.. Steele of
Laidlaw and Palisade avenues, was
was in attendance, said the woman had
not been injured in any way, but
was in very critical condition from
nervous prostratiOn.
MRS. HENNEssEY's STORY.
AS soon as she was able she told story
to this effect. She had been out all day.
At five O'CLOCK she returned and
ment to work in the kitchen to prepare
supper expecting her husband to retdrn
at six O'Clock. A while before six
o'clock she entered the parlor to raise the
front window curtains. She was surpris-
ed at the appearance of an unknown man,
tall and comparatively young looking.
He grabbed up a handkerchief which Mr..
Hennessey had left lying on the sofa in
the morning and threw it over her face.
Then ne threw her down. She
resisted. He dragged her by the hair of
her head to the Kitchen, where he gagged
her with a dish cloth, and pinioned her
hands behind her.
UNCONSCIOUS.
Then he proceeded to drag her down
into the cellar. She became unconscious
and knew nothing more until she awoke
with the doctor and the husband
were at her side. The fact that
the matter was not reported to the police
until ten O'Clock gave the assailant time
to get awav. Detective Keenan, WAS
first sent to investigate the story. Several
detectives are working up the case. AL
though pocketbook containing money,
diamond ring and other articles of value
were lying on table in the parlor, moth
ing but the earrings from Mrs. HenneS-
sy's ears are missing.
Shrewd detectives on closely axamining
the case are of the opinion that it is an
ordinary one of historical delusion.

PLIGHTED TROTH BROKEN
oseph Miller's Queer Resolve Not
TO Marry Miss Louise Stein.

Quite a stir has been created In social
circles in Union Hill by the announce
ment that the engagement of Miss LOU
Use Stein and Joseph Miller has been
broken off on the eve of the wedding. and
that Miss Stein intends to sue her faith
less lover for breach of promise.
Miss Stein is a handsome young woman
with flashing blue eyes, golden hair. .regu-
lar features and fine figure. She resides
with her parents on Union place. She
met Miller at a reception in February
last. They were mutually attracted.
Miller escorted ner to balls and parties,
and was ever at her side. He finally told
her of his love. and proposed marriage.
She accepted him. He saw her parents
and secured their consent to the union. =
They Were surprised when their
daughter. few days later, made known
her Intention of becoming convert to
catholicism, but they decided not to in
terfere. Preparations for the marriage
were made and Miller secured rooms at
No. 1876 Jefferson street, purchased furni-
aud got everything in readiness to receive
his bride.
A few days before the date set FOR the
nuptIals Miller. it is alleged, coolly in
formed his intended bride that he did not
propose to marry her. He at first refused
to give any reasons for his sudden
change.
Miss Stein has placed her case in the
hands of Counsellor w. d. DAILY. The
friends of the girl seem to think that she
has been treated cruelty. While the
friends of Miller say he must have had
good reason for refusing to marry.

meantime. Mayer Brothers. OF Exchange
lace. stepped in and planked down
$2S, 10 cash for the lot. James Warner
explained this action by stating that
the Mayors wanted the property for 6usi-
ness purposes. This is not so. The Mayer
Biothers bought it for speculative pur-
poses and are now holding it at an ad-
vance of s., 200 over the cost price.
NOTHING IN THIS, OF COURSE.
Another instance of the ways of Wan
ser's new Board is in the reduction If
Mr.. Nugent's property at Nos 81 and 90
valuation of $40. 900 on this property, hav-
ing ascertained that the revenue de-
rived from it is IS. 500 per year. or
ten per cent. interest on S55, 900 invest
ment. On the $40, 900 assessment Nugent
was making about fifteen per cent. John
James Warner and Nugent are al
most inseparable friends. A re-
duction of 5000 was ordered.
The property of Henry o. Heidi at No.
2sS Grove street. was next reduced $780,
Mr. German valued the property Mt $l0.-
600 because an adjoining lot had been sold
for $4,000. Mr.. Warner at once ordered
reduction of $500.
Commissioner German is highly indig-
nant at the wholesale slaughter of assess
ments which he levied upon fair flnan-
cial basis.
IF the earning property is not
to be properly assessed" said
he, what can that Board ex-
pect but a CRY from every property
holder in side streets, where revenues are
less. Newark avenCe is where our most
valuable property is found, and large
revenue it derived from this source. There
is where placed the fair and equal
assessments, ana any fair minded
man will agree with me when say that
upon the facts I submitted to the Board
of Appeals that my assessments were
just and that the reductions made were
wholly nwarrantable."
The Reduction Commissioners will ex-
ercise their executive abilities again this
afternoon. Mayor Wanser will probably
give his views on complaints received as
Il real estate expert.

RUNS NEW ORGAN.
The Evening Journal" For
mallY Endorsed By the
Liquor Dealers As
SOCiatiOn.
From The Evening Journal of yesterday.
LIQUOR DEALERS MEET.

They Demand That the License App1ica-
tions Be Published in the journal"
An animated meeting of the Hud-
son County Liquor Dealers Associa-
tion was held at Roche's Hall yester-
day afternoon. There was a large
attendance. A large part of the time
was devoted by the leaders in stating
just what they think of Corporation
Counsel Edwards. If that gentle
mans left ear tingled from two to
four P. NJ. yesterday, he will under
stand when he reads this little story
why it did so. First, Mr.. Edwards
was accused of having drawn the lit
tie bill providing for the publication
of the names OF applicants for saloon
liceses for the sole benefit of a
little sheet which is fast dying.
Next Mr.. Edwards was charged with
having the bill introduced and passed
and then of instructing the Board of
Aldermen to name the paper he is in
terested in as the one that should
print the license names. Contrary to
Mr.. Edwards expectation and to his
great surprise, the city fathers ig-
nored the demands and gave the job
to the New Jersey Stats Zeitung.
Naturally this nettled the counselor
and his partners, and they claimed
that the Zeitat1ag was not a proper
paper to advertise the license names.
The result was that they had the
action of the Aldermen certioraried.
The case is now in the Courts. A reso-
ution was passed by the association
to the effect that in case the Court
decide against the Zeitu'a1 the Jour-
nal be named. Aldermen McEntee and
Farley, who were present, said that
under no consideration would they
vote for Mr.. Edwards paper. The
Sunday closing question was not dis
cussed. 1t was decided to hold the
State Convention at Hoboken, in
August. 1t was also decided to or
ganize in each di strict for next falls

He Again Appears in Court-Assault

The charge of assault and battery pre-
ferred by Mrs. Effle Hawkes.. of No. 65
Mercer st.eet. against Real Es-
tate Agent William Harney, was
dismissed by Police Justice O'Donnell
this morning. Mrs. Hawkes. had the
warrant for Mr.. Harney's arrest issued
yesterday. She alleues that Mr. Har-
ney accused her Of being drunk
and forcibly elected her from his office
because she refused to leave without
receipt for S14 which she had paid one of
the clerks for rent. There were still
due $270 and Mr.. Harmev explained
that when his thousands OF tenants pay
an installment the amount was merely
endorsed on the bnck of the receipt for
The full month. Justice ODon-
nell was not sure that
Mrs Hawkes. did not have
the rigt to demand a receipt; but as there
was not evidence enough TO warrant the
the holding of Mr. Harney for assault he
he was discharged. Mr.. Hamhes, 1t is
said, demanded ap apology of Mr.. Har-
ney for insulting his wife.
