dents of the Grammar Department.
The students of the grammar depart
ment of st. Peters College entertained
their friends last night in the Assembly
Rooms of the big college on Grand street.
The temporary platform which was
erected for the occasion was tastefully
decorated, and an odor of sweet smelling
flowers pervaded the room. The students
did we'll. and not only reflected credit
upon the faculty but upon themselves
also.
The exercises opened with an overture
by Prof. J. B. Ferry, the church organ
known. ably assisted by Joseph j. Ferry.
A chorus by the students, who knows
what the bells say" was well rendered.
Explanations of ''The Greek Verb" by
the class of second grammar, "The Latin
Verb" by class of third grammar, 1.-THE
English Verb by class of Rudiments,
1.-THE German Verb" by class of German
were equally interesting and instructive.
Master NJ. J. Mullins rendering of the
Anvil Chorus" received well merited
applause. 1.-The Owl and Pussy Cat" a
solo and chorus was greatly enjoyed. A
violin and piano duet by Masters Frank
and Fred Finn was loudly encored.

tic and elocuton elected hearty applause.
The entertainment concluded with the
chorus "See Our Oars With Feathered
Spray" The exercises were under the
supervision of Fathers Lyman and Haun.

MISS DAVIES REMOVED.
A Spicy Debate in the Bayonne Board
of Education.

A Spicy Debate in the Bayonne Board
of Education.
The Bayonne Board OF Education had
another lively debate last night over the
proposed removal of Miss Josie M. Davies,
of School No. 6. for alleged incompetence.
When Trustee Robertson moved that the
tabled report be taken up and adopted.
the cause of Miss Davies was advocated
by Trustees Hickey. Humphrey and Al
len. The latter said that the teachers
salary would have to be paid for the year
and it would be better, if she Were
really incompetent, to put her under
the instruction of Superintendent
Davis and have her duly qualified.
Trustee Hickey said Superintendent
Davis, had never reported Miss Davies
incom petent, and challenged proof from
the records, even as 'doctored by
Trustee Robertson" Trustees Stanton
and Edwards supported Trustee Robert
son and the report. Trustee Hum
phrey said the real prosposition
was to dismiss Miss Davies because she
did not wear Princess dresses, Paris bon
nets ana the latest styles in hats and
wraps. Trustee Mcbride said it was
queer if the girl was so incompetent, that
her class was reported to be in good con-
dition so far as its studies was con-
cerned.
After two hours debate the report
was adopted, eight to six, and Superin-
tendent Davis was authorized to fill the
vacancy with student teacher.

MRS. HOFFMAN'S RACKET.
Tried to Kill Herself at Taylors s
Hotel-Under Medical Treat
ment.

A well dressed young woman created
somewhat of a sensation in Taylor's Ho-
tel last night by fiourishing revolver
about her head in her room and threaten
ing to Kill herself.
Clerk Potts telegraphed to Police
Headquarter, and Detective Clos TOOK
the woman away in a coach. To Super
intendent Smith the woman said her
name was Mrs. A. G. Hoffman and ner
residence at Little Rock, Ark.
She is widow, and lives with her

Mrs Hoffman arrived at Taylor's Hotel
last Friday evening accompanied by a
man who registered as E. A. Briggs, OF
Boston. He left on Saturday, but Mrs.
Hoffman remained. Her peculiar actions
attracted attention and the hotel clerks
were directed to keep close watch upon
her.
Yesterday two gentlemen, who claimed
to be her brothers-in-law, called and saw
her.
Superintendent Smith says Mrs. Hoff-
man came here for medical advice and
that the medicines prescribed made her
Iight-headed.
The hotel books show that she had

HYER AND DALTON.
Police Authorities Have Not De-
cided What to Do In
the Case.

The escape of Embezzler Hyer is still
the chief topic of conversation in police
circles. New facts in the case are show
ing themselves on all sides and today it
was learned that Dalton had been so
negligent that Hyer did not have a hand
cuff on him from the time he was turned
over into Dalton's custody until he made
his escape. The police officials are 10th
to acknowledge this fact. but it is fact,
nevertheless. Intimations of bribery are
abundant. Chief of Police Murphy re-
fused to have anything to say concerning
the affair, but thinks it a most peculiar
thing that Dalton did not handcuff his
prisoner. The Chief expressed sympathy
for Dalton, however, and believes the
case to be one of mis- Judgment.
"Have charges of any nature been pre-
ferred against Dalton" asked President
Feeney yesterday.
None that know of; but that comes
within the province of the Superintend-
ent. If Detective Dalton is brought up
on charges. our Board will investigate
them"
NEGLIGENT OR wHATf
"Do you think Dalton was negligent?"
l asked.
President Feeney hesitated a momen
and then said:-"Weil. think had been
in Dalton's place would have been very
careful with such prisoner. He made a
hard fight in San Francisco and was evil
IDENTIFY determined to get away. 1t was
pity and very unfortunate
occurrence. One thing l don't
think was right and that was this:-If
Hyer and his wife wanted to occupy the
same apartment, Dalton should have
haudcuffed them together If that was
not agreeable he should have handcuffed
Hyer to himself"
"Wasn't the placing of his clothes under
his pillow precautionW
st was, of course; but not a sufficient
one, as has been demonstrated. just how
the clothes were taken l do not compre-
mend, but Daltons being sick changes
matters considerably"
"Will any further attempt be made to
capture Hyer?"
II can't answer that question. The SUI
perintendent will now take charge of the
case"
FORMAL CHARGES
Superintendent Smith this morning
stated that charges had not been pre-
ferred against Dalton as yet. He will,
however make q charge of neg
lect of duty. The Superin tendent
had long conference with Commissioner
Kelly, but neither gentleman will dis
close what course is to be pursued in the
matter.

ANOTHER Child ROASTED
This One Was Strapped in
a High Chair Like
the Other.
A MOTHERS CRIMINAL RECELESSNESS.
There Was A Kerosene Lamp
Within the Little Ones Reach
And the Tragedy Fol-
lowed.

There was horrible accident in Ho.
boken tenement last night. An eleven
months old child was literally roasted to
death. The house where the terrible
affair occurred is the three-story tene-
ment at No. liz Grand street. On the
nrs6 floor reside young couple, Fred
Muller and wife. They had one child,
Lottie, the victim of the tragedy.
Last night Mrs. Miller expected her
husband home at half-past seven o'clock.
and at seven O'Clock she was busy prepar-
ing supper. She discovered that she
needed some groceries, and she strapped
her eleven months old baby in high
chair close to the table, on which table
cloth was spread. In the middle of the
table was lamp burning brightly. Then
the mother went to the grocery.
A few moments later Mrs. Murphy. a
tenant on the floor above, detected an
odor of smoke in the hallway, She
ran to the street crying "Firep'
at the top of her voice. A crowd
soon collected in front OF the house.
baby's agonizing screams sent
a thrill OF horror through the crowd.
Policeman Thomas Peters dashed up the
stoop, and into the blazing room. He
saw kerosene lamp on the floor
broken into pieces and the child, writh-
ing In agony and enveloped in flames
still strapped to the overturned high
chair.
A PoLICEMAN's COURAGE.
The policeman picked up the burniEE
mass and grabbing blanket from bed
nearby smothered the flames. The Fire
department. had arrived in the meantime,
and with few buckets OF water extin-
gulshed the blaze in the room
Inc Daby's screams had ceased, but the
child was still alive when the mother
came in. When she saw the charred re-
mains of her little one she fell uncon-
scious and was carried into neighbours
house. Hundreds of people living in the
near by tenements, impeIled by morbid
the suffering child. They were sorry
they did.
CHARRED MASS.
The little ones body was black and
charred from head to foot. The face was
not recognizable. 1t was a sickening
sight. City Physician Simon was on the
scene. but his services were useless.
The baby was dead in an hour. He could
not even mitigate its sufferings.
The explanation of the horrible affair
is simple. After the mother left the
house the baby grabbed at the tablecloth
until she had upset the chair and lamp.
The damage to the house will not exceed
500.
1t was only a few weeks since baby
was strapped to its chair and roasted to
death in much the same way in this city.
But such lessons always 60 to waste.
Mothers either do not read of or forget
idea that special providence watches
over their particular household and that
nothing can possibly happen to them or
theirs.

A VERY DANGEROUS BILL.
Hardin's Scheme to Encourage
Wildcat Speculations EX-
posed.
Snecial to the Lerseu CYtu Meacs.

TRENTON, Feb. 2. 1SS2.-There was a
lively debate this morning over a
motion made by Mr.. Lane of
Union to recommft Mr.. Hardin's bill
allowing corporations to invest their
funds in any way they see lit.
Mr.. Lane characterized the bill as most
dangerous one. He declared that it
would open the doors Of Wall Street to
the corporations for all sorts of wildcat
speculations and gambling. He charged
that the gamblers were behind the
scheme.
Messrs. Hardin and Potts vigorously
defended the bill. Mr.. Hardin said the
liberal policy of the State towards the
corporations had brought into the treas
ury many thousands Of dollars. This bill
was confined to specific corporations with
specific objects, and was harmless meas
ure. Mr.. Potts talked in the same strain.
Messrs. O'Neill and Flynn coincided with
these latter gentlemen. The motion to
recOmmit was lost.

NO RACE TRACK BILL.
Board of Control Bad Faith Pre-
vents Legislative settlement
of the Issue.
Speciol to the Jersey City Ne,cs.

TRENTON, Feb. Q, 1891. the expected
race track bill did not materialize last
night, and there is no immediate prospect
that it will. County Clerk Mclaughlin
came down as usual for his Monday night
consultation. out he seemed not whit
anxious about any DILL. The fact is the
whole thing is off for the present. The
other race tracks have refused to stand
by the agreement into which they entered
last week with Gutenberg, and Mr.. Nc
Laughlin will have nothing to do with
them.
County Clerk smiled and said:-"There
will be no bill SO tar rs / know anything
about it, The other tracks are work
ing against us and we are against
them" This means. OF course,
that no bill can pass until some better
understanding is reached. The only nope
for the passage of any bill is for all the
tracks to pull together for the accom-
nlishment of one object. Mr.. McLaugh-
lin saws Gutenberg needs no legislation
and cares little about 1t, and unless the
other tracks will live up to the agree
ment entered into last week, the Gutten-
berp people are done with the matter.
Mr.. Honce of Monmouth, who is look
Ing after the interests of Monmouth
PARK. said that the prospect OF leglslatlon
was further off than at any previous
time during the session. He seemed much
Iisapnointed about the matter, and de-
Ss1red that the people of Monmouth
vtnted racing and he hoped to see law
laced on the statute books which would
induce the Board of Control tracks to
open. He thinks the people OF the county
would like law which would give 1nem
the onDortunity Of deciding the racing
- ,estion by a popular vote. Senator

ribly. Stocker then same back and kissed
his wife. He said:-'You'll die easy,

This closed the evidence, and Stocker
was asked the customary questions con-
cerning his name, age and nativity. he
said he was twenty-nine years old, and
was born in New York. He was allowed
to remain in the court room until the
crowd had unwillingly dispersed. The
commitment was at first decided upon by
Justice Davis to be on the charge of mur
der, but this was afterwards charged to the
minor charge of felonious assault. in or
der that the testimony of Miss TierneY
may be heard at a later examination.
Stocker was escorted 60 the Jail by

time, to catch a glimpse of him.
