EXPLOSIVE, INDEED.
A Manufacturer Went Off
Before His Torpedoes
Did-Severa1 Anxious
Young Ladies.

On Thursday OF last week THE JERSEY
City NEWS told of the establishment of a
torpedo factory IN Marion, and of the
seemingly good prospects which were Ibe-
fore it of a successful future. The com
panv, which assumed che name of the
GRADER Torpedo Manufacturing Com
panY, moved in new machinery, and es-
tablished a first class factory on the
premises. Charles Gregory, who
boarded on West Newark venue with a
Mr.. Berry, near the Marion station, wa
at the head OF the enterprise, and gave
employment TO ~thirty-thres you ng ladies.
The factory was first opened on Satur-
day, February %. and Mis- s Annie Macky
was placed as forewoman. She was
given the keys to the door of the girls
room, where they mad the explosives.
The girls received five cents y thou
sand for the torpedoes, with a limit OF
10000 per day. The first week the salaries
of the girls were not paid. Gregory
promised them that their wages would be
forthcoming during the week, so nothing
was said.
During all this time, they say. the pro-
prietOr took many liberties with them,
and talked Zoo freely. But as nothing
alarmingly serious was attempted they
considered it only a peculiar W him of his.
He brought his two children, a boy and a
girl, to the factory to show to the girls.
His wife also made calls on the girls, and
they began TO think them a familiar
family. All went well until last Satur-
day, when Gregory did not show up at
the office. When Miss Macky attempted
TO open the door she found that the lock
had been changed, and NO one could get
in. They guessed the situation at once.
Gregory had skipped with the funds.
He owed each girl in sums ranging from
81. 10 TO So. In the afternoon he came
back and called upon Miss MacKy, and
told her that he would pay the girls at
night. They waited. but the money did
not come. It has not come yet, aud the
girls are going to consult q lawyer about
it and bring suit Ieagatnst chin.
The girls names are Annie Macky,
Daisy Kelsey, Mamie Donnelly. Mamie
McQuinn, Kate Reilly, Annie O'Neill.
Mary Brennan, Kate McHugh, Mile
Tier, Annie Dingley. Maggie Boyle, Title

ROYAL AND OTHER MARRIAGES.

Mr.. Labouchere on Pre-Marita1 Love
Versus Conjugal Common Sense.
The marriage Of the Duke of York and
Princess May is a very suitable one. AS
the direct heir to the crown, it is obvious
that the Dukes first duty is to have a son,
all the more as. If he does not. the success.
sion would into the Fife family. Prln-
cess May is pretty and her tanners are
pleasing, and ii is far more reasonable that
the future Queen SHOULD have been born
aud brought up in England as an English
girl than that she should be imported
from Germany. As for her having been
betrothed to the late Duke of Clarence,
which had been urged as an objection,
there Is nothing i'll it, for it merely
shows that it was thought a year
ago that she would be the best selection
for the son of he Prince Of Wales. who
stood in direct succession to the throne,
and what was true then is true still. At
that time there was a good deal OF drivel
written about q love match. In the sense
that the two persons concerned liked
each other, this might have been correct.
Probably, in this sense, it is correct now.
Princes nj Drince5ses are much like
most other people. All marriages are
very much a matter of ~haphazard. They
often commence by ar attraction on one
side or the other, and this is termed love.
Then the so-called lovers marry without
knowing much of each others
character. In some cases the mar
riage turns out we'll, in Others
not so we'll. This depends rather upon
their feeling to each other after they
have lived some time together, and got
thoroughly to know each other, than
upon the attraction before marriage.
Whether Mr.. Smith had married Mrs.
Smith. or whether he had mar
ried Mrs. Jones and Mr.. Jones had mar
ried Mrs. Smith, Is a mere detail, provided
that Mr.. aud Mrs. Smith and Mr.. and
Mrs. Jones nit it off after marriage e.
This is not the novelist's view of marriage,
I know. With them Miss Jones becomes
a heroine because she insists upon marry
ing some Brown or Robinson, in defiance
of common sense, instead of Smith. who
probablyNwould have made her Il far better
husband. And this silly nonsense passes
current because the novel always ends
with the marriage aud never let's the
reader know how it turns out.-HenTy

The wanser Wing Clippers.


"Who shall decide when doctors
disagree?n and who shall say whether
the Wanser Wing Clipping act is con-
stitutional or not, when q noted
Democratic lawyer of Jersey City
says it is good and valid, and
noted Republican mi says it is
not worth the paper it is printed
on. Both of these gentlemen are
counsel, learned in the law, and
the opinion of the one is just as good
as that of the other and no better.
At any rate, we take it, from Mr..
Blair's expression of opinion, there is
room for a fight, and a fight will be
made. Mayor Wanser is reticent,
but that is his style. He will never
be heard from until he does some
thing, and, when he acts, if one is to
judge from the history of his official
term. SO far, he will not have to take
a back track.
There is one satisfactory feature of
the prospective middle. 1t cannot
last long. The law, which we quote
in full in our news columns, provides
for speedy adjudication, and we sup
pose the whole affair will be settled
by the end of May at latest.
Whatever happens regarding the
Board of Finance bill, however, we
think Mayor Wanser has the best end
of all the coming struggles, and will
be able to do much in the way of pro-
tecting the city treasury during the
next wear.

more instruments with great success. and

TUESDAY, MARCH "A. 1898.
This paper is democratic in principles
and is Independent IN its 0tea0s ON aI
local questions.
The Extra Session Idea.

The New York Sun published yes
terday a very remarkable article in
which it called upon Governor Werts
to the late unlamented
Legislature of New Jersey in extra
ordinary session for the express pur-
pose of repeating the three race track
laws which have created such a can
dial in all parts of the country.
There is something attractive about
the idea of calling together this
ssscandalous Legislature" as the Sun
APPLY calls it, and forcing sits dis
honored members to face squarely the
repeal of the infamous legislation OF
last month" The idea is a breezy
and refreshing one, and quite in the
line of the Suns spirited method OF
dealing with public questions.
But we fear it would not do. The
Sun, with all its adherence OF the late
Legislatures villainy, hardly realizes
how profound that turpitude was.
The fact is, if Governor Werts
called that band of pirates together
again, they not only would not repeal
the race track bills, but would prob
ably steal everything valuable left in
the State before they adjourned.
No, it would not do. The State
could not stand another session of
that gang on any terms.
|
THEN the question is worth consid-
ering, whether the repeal of the laws
is now desirable. With the anti-win-
ter racing act on the statute books, it
is an open question whether the pres
emit state of the law on the subject OF
horse racing is not all that reasonable
people could demand. OF course, it
does not satisfy DR.. Kempshall and
his League, but nothing short Of alb
solute prohibition will satisfy them
but is it not just the kind of law, in
all material respects, which the Sun
itself favors, the same kind of law
that the Ives Act affords New York;
If the law is good enough in itself,
would it not be rather foolish to re-
peal it and return to the antecedent
anarchy, just because We disapprove
the methods and motives of the men
who enacted it2
You cannot now clean up the rec
ord. You cannot undo the bribery,
the bulldozing. You cannot wipe out
the disgrace of the recent session. 1t
is written down in history, and the
record is ineffaceable. The repeal of
the bills now would in no degree re-
lieve the State, the Legislature, or
even the Democratic party, from the
odium of the past. What is done
cannot be undone.
