DUNN SAYS MORE HEAT.
1t is Better Today Than Yester-
day, and There is a
Shower Ahead.

Jersey City residents just gasped and
stood it yesterday. Tt is needless to say
that they could not help it. The
highest temperature yesterday was SO
degrees. The thermometer at one o'clock
this afternoon registered 80 degrees, three
degrees lower than yesterday, but this
slight difference in temperature hardly
began to leple e lent the difference in COM
fort in favor of today.
Greenville went several degrees better.
The thermometer at Mitzenius' pointed
90, while the Fifth precinct station house
thermometer not TO be outdone, climbed
up to SO.
AS usual. all the soda water fountains
in the lower part of the city were sur
rounded by thirsty multitudes. The
saloons also did thriving business.
The mercury at Hartnett's thermome-
ter today climbed up to the ninety mark.
The electric fans in THE JERSEY CITY
News office worked the mercury down
to SO. The thermometer in Ewing's drug
store registered ninety degrees.
Sergeant Dunn, of New York, holds
out no shred Of hope for relief today or
tonight. Tomorrow, he thinks, will
be as hot as today By to-
morrow night, but certainly not
before that. the heat may moderate. Far
mer Dunn added:-I expect shower to-
night that may afford some relief, but
that will be only temporary and hardly
worth mentioning.

CITY HEALTH MATTERS.

The Work of Inspecting the City Com
menced-Itallan Quarters Cleaned Out.
Yesterday morning the list OF sanitary
inspectors appointed by Health Officer
SDragg was completed and the men en-
tered az once upon the discharge OF
their duties. The men assigned to the
several wards are as follows: First, j.
ID. O'Leary; Second, Frank Wagner;
Third, Edward Weichel; Fourth, John
Cochran; Fifth, Robert Mehen; Sixth,
John WilEie; Seventh, j. G. O'Hare;
Eighth, James Flanagan. The Second
ward Inspector did not report for duty,
and unless be does so to-day, his
place will be supplied. In the First
ward start was made by attack
ing the Italian quarters on Main street,
In the vicinity of Third, and they were
given positive orders by DIR. Spragg
that they must clean up at once. The
locality is decidedly filthy one, and it
will be attended TO forthwith. In the
Fifth ward a start will be made in the
ward in the rear OF TIE old dago quar-
ters on the west side of Main street just
below Twenty-frst. The back yards
there are very unSavory, and will be
cleaned up and diSinfected. The police
began the work of reporting nuisances
YESTERDAY, and turned in several which
will receive the immediate attention OF
the authorities.
Last evening the Committee on Fire
Department met and instructed Chief
Healy TO report to Health Officer Spragg
for the work OF flushing out sewers.
The Chief and DR.. Spragg will have
conference to-day, and the tremen will
be gotten 20 work as soon as possible.
Some OF the sewer mouths give out
frightful odor, especially OF a warm
damp night, and q number OF such
localities are listed and will receive at
tsntion.
1t came to light yesterday that the
most fifth is not always to be found
about the homes of the poor. An ln-
spection Of the cellars of several we'll

cellar I'm the eastern portion OF the city
was frightfully bad, there being an &C
cummulation circulated TO breed typhoid
fever, diphtheria, and several other
things as we'll as cholera. An lmpera-
tive order to clean up was given.
Garbage complaints continue 10 pour
in, and there seems to be no question
but that the facilities for removing the
stuff properly are inadequate.

THE THOMSON CHURCH TROUBLE
The Members OF the Official Board Have
Nothing to say.

The trouble brewing in the Thomson
M. E. Church on the island over the
resignation of Rev. DIR. Fullerton as
published in the REGISTER Of yester-
day morning created considerable dis
cussion yesterday.
A REGISTER reporter yesterday called
upon several members Of the Board and
they expressed great surprise that it
ever should be published and cannot
understand why the Presiding Elder
should have shown the petition to DR..
Fullerton, as it Was not intended that
he should see it. Gas to DR.. Fullerton
being in the dark as to why we should
request his removal, it is amusing" said
one member. HE knows all too well,
the reasons why"
There is to be meeting Of the Official
Board at one Of the members houses to-
night. 1t is customary 10 hold
these meetings at the parsonage,
but owing to circumstances there will
be a change Of base tonight. 1t was
not made known where the meeting was
TO be held as the members said they did
not want any outsiders around. Just
what the meeting will deal with could
not be learned. Nearly all the MEM
bers agreed that Rev. Fullerton was
among the very aolest preachers in
the West Virginia conference, but GER
tain conduct was not consistent.

POOL ROOMS ALIVE
LAST NIGHT OVER TIE FIGHTS NOW GOING
ON IN NEW ORLEANS.
Mysr Men Drop Their Bundle-CrOwds Of People
in McLaughlin's Pool ROom-Where Combl-
nations Were SOld-The Scenes.

Those who did not believe there was
interest in prize fighting shovld have
made a tour Of the pool rooms
last night with the REGISTER
reporter. The town was alive
with sports, full-blooded and to
the core. A stroll into McLaughlin's
pool rooms soon convinced the on-looKer
THAI there was the widest kind OF an
interest in the contests. 1t was surg
ing, seething mass OF human
ity, and as they moved about
and swayed 10 and fro, every telegram
and bulletin that came was listened 10
with the greatest eagerness. 1t was the
first of the series of fights at New Or
leans, and last night it was the Myer-
McAuliffe battle.
The betting started out easy and was
for while even up. The thread soon
broke, however, and odds Of to ana
10 to were offered on McAuliffe. This
found many takers and for quite while
the sellers were busy hauling In the
shekels:
No combinations were sold at Nc
Laughlin's, the only place where these
were sold being at Gavin's saloon, on
Main street, where there was big run
during the early evening. The follow
ing combinations were placed

The combination that had the biggest
call was the one of 10 to on the Dixon
Mever-Sullivan combination. The next
best call was the Dixon-McAulitfe-Sulli-
van combination of 10 to 6. The short
est end was the Skelly-Meyer-Corbett
ticket.
at Mike Hearne's there was another
large crowd assembled. The fight was
received by rounds here also. and sell
dom has such an interest been shown in
a fight. All classes and conditions
flocked to the pool rooms last night.
Ten to seven bets on Sullivan are being
offered about town. The scenes will
likely be repeated this evening when
Dixon and Sicily measure gloves.

Active preparations are being made
for the reception Of Charles A. Gardner
in his attractive play, "Fatherland, j"
which is to be given at the Opera House

many good opinions and considerable
money from his fine portrayal OF type
of the Tyrolean peasant which has been
considered nearly an impOssibility to
