A WONDERFUL YACHT.

Newark Workmen Making Machinery to
Propei q Boat Thirty Miles an Hour.
Special to The Jersey City Nescs.
NEWARK, Jan. 2S. 1S93.-When it is
chronicled next summer that a small
steam yacht has covered thirty miles or
more In an hour and eclipsed the record
for boats big or little. Newarkers may
well recall with some pride the fact that
the delicate but powerful engine propel-
ling the craft and it's novel boiler are OIL
Newark construction.
G. d. Mosher, who designed the amous
Norwood and the Buzz, is the designer OF
this phenomenal boat. which is to be
rs feet in length by 9 feet beam,
and to be urged through the water
by an energy of between 500 and oOO
horse power. In proportion to its displace-
ment its power will be greater than that
Of any other boat 10 existence. Mr..
Mosher designed engine, boiler and hull,
profiting in each case by previous sue
cesses, and e%ndeayoring to improve upon
each point of vantage, The building OIL
the peculiar form of pipe boiler was In
trusted to the Hewes & Phillips Iron
Works, aud is nearly ready. The boat
will be at the c%ompany's wharf on Uhe
PaSsaic as soon as the river opens.
The most interesting feature. however,
is the Q~uadruple compound engine which
Lysander Wright, of No. 9 Alling street,
has just completed after eight months OF
continuous work. This is without eXcep-
ton the lightest engine of its capacity III
the world. Its whole weight is abont
5000 pounds complete, and with from 500
to 800 revolutionsfa minute it will exert
from 500 to 600 horse power with 25O
pounds of steam.
The cylinders are in line above the
shaft and supported by slender steel pill
lars, which are 1ngeniously braced by
straining rods invented aud patented by
Mr.. Mosher and designed to take up all
tendency to racking. The base OF the
engine is elliptical, and will occupy less
than "a square feet of surface. The cyIin-
ders are consecutively 81. 1871, IS aud "a
inches. A handsomely t1nisned brass
jacket conceals from view the fact that
these cylinders are built in a manner to
secure the greatest possible strength with
a minimum of weight. In fact every de-
tail of the engine is built with ali eye to
the greatest economy of weight consistent
with strength. The piston rods, connect
ing rods, crank Plus. rank shaft, rock
shafts and other rods are all hollow, being
constructed Of solid steel and then boreI
out to get rid OF every ounce Of super
f1ous weight. So ne idea of the labor
upon this engine may be obtained from
the fact that the steel forging for the
crank shaft weighed 2,012 pounds and the
finished shaft weighs only 414 pounds.
Six mouths steady work of ten hour a
day was spent III reducing this mass of
steel to its present form, and meanwhile
the other carts of the engine We're under
construction. The engine is set up and
was run up to 200 revo.utions in the shop
one day last week. When everything is
satisfactorily fitted it will be taken apart
aud again set up in the Doa5 at hewes &
PniliiDs's wharf

Smoked Cigarettes and Turned or the
Gas at a Night School.
John O'Donnell, nineteen years old, OF
No. 1876 Thirteenth street. is registered as
a pupil at night school NJ. q. but his
principal business there seems TO have
been to smoke cigarettes in the hall and
turn out the gas just before the pupils
were let out. The gas has been turned
off three or four times and the teachers
have been apprehensive of an accident as
the pupils crowded down the stairway.
Last night Patroiman Daily caught
O'Donneil just after the youth had put
out the gas ii the school hall at the head
of a stairway. O'Donnell told Justice
O,Donneli this morning that he lit q
cigarette at the gas III the gas was
ss%smothered." He didn't work, but he
didn't go to the day school because he
couldn't afford o."
O'DonBell's mother arose from a seat

in s6bs and tears.
Justice O'Donneli told the truant he
would have to stay in the City Prison a
day or two until some enquiries were

LOCAL CHURCH NOTES,


A Popula neutrality-suspicious. Meade
acknowledgements Services,
The reception recently rendered to Cordt
Bischoff, Superintendent Of st. Johns Lutheran
Sunday School on North street by his teachers
in honor of his birthday, recalls the fact that a
few weeks ago he was elected to his twenty fifth
consecutive term. Mr.. Bishoff is the only Sun
day School Superintendent in the County
who can boast of being q superintendent
of a single school for this long time. He
assumed the office when the school was
in its incipiency, comprised but a meagre band,
and assembled in a little unpretentiouS wooden
chapel on Pierce avenue. The school now num-
bers 1853 teachers and l,150 scholars. At every
election he has been the unanimous choice OF

John I. Davenport,s Record.

No man was aver more thoroughly
demolished in a written document
than is John ]. Davenport, Chief
Supervisor of Federal Elections for
New York, in the report of the Fitch
Investigating Committee to Congress,
and no system was ever more con-
clusively proven to be criminal and
vicious than is that under which he
has outraged the people of the metrop-
oils for the last fifteen years.
The Committee exposes Davenport
in his true light as a reckless violator
of every principle of equity, of every
right of citizenship, of everything that
is due to manhood. 1t shows him in
~insolent contempt of the House of Re-
representatives., of the law making
power which he pretends to uphold.
1t shows him a reckless, dishonest, re-
bellious, swashbuckler, a m"ercenary
tool of a reckless and subversive po-
litical faction, holding his post in de-
fiance of public opinion, and abusing
his powers in the teeth of universal
ex~ecration.
As for the system he represents, the
Committee sums it up in these few
pithy reasons for its instant abo-
lition:-
First-Because they (the Federal election
laws result in no convictions of offenders and
are, therefore, useless to prevent or punish
crime.
Second-Because they cause great expense
and are fruitful of constant and continuing
frauds upon the treasury.
they are designed to be used
and are used only as part of the machinery of a
1t, and to brighten from ths polls the voters of
theopposing paroles.
-Fourth-Because under and by virtue of these
laws, the grayest interference with the personal
are punished by arrest and Imprisonment for
their political opinions.
And yet the Congress to whom this
report is made will take no action to
undo the evil. So hardened in its in
veterate prejudices is the Republican
Senate, that John |. Davenport will
continue to i~Rsolently enjoy his post
for nearly another year-until the
next Congress assemblies. 1t is true
he will never again have a N oppor-
unity to do his evil work at a Con-
rressional election. The coming Dem
,cratic Congress will put an end to
ais infamous political career. But.

True Democracy Supporting Werts.
1t is highly pleasing the way b
Democratic press of the State comes to
the support of Governor Werts in the
fearless and patriotic position he has
taken up at the very start of his CUB
. ernatorial term. 1t shows that n
$party is the peoples party, and is
always in favor of enforcing the pop
plar will.
We think Governor Werts is right
In the stand he takes in this crisis.
We expressed our views very freely
before we had the least idea of the
course the Governor would pursue.
But it is not because we agree with
him that we so strongly urge the
party to give him its loyal support.
We should do so equally if we were
on the other side of the question.
First, and above everything, we want
to stand up for the great Constitution
al prerogatives of the Governors Of
flee. and for the right that every
honest man has to do that
which his conscience dictates. This
is the principal reason why we con-
denim the INSCRIPTIONS course of the
World in trying, by incendiary arti-
eles, to stir up a feeling of hostility to
the Governor. PROFESSIONALLY the
Republican papers will pursue this
course. They will do all they can to
,mbitter Hudson and other democrats
with talk about declarations of
war" "gauntlets thrown down." and
all the other hackneyed material of.
partisan malice. Such talk may be ex-
/ pected of republicans. BUTT is the
duty of the Democratic press to urge
q cheerful acquIescence In the
Governors views and a loyal and
hearty compliance with his policy.
We repeat, it is nonsense to say the
Governor intends any hostile act in
killing a piece of legislation which he
considers unwise and unjust. On the
contrary, he is doing a service and a
favor to the Hudson Democracy in
steering it clear of error and wrong
doing He is taking the very surest
way to secure victories in coming
elections, and those democrats who
are wise enough to fall in behind him
and follow his ideas will profit when
the time comes to ask the voters to
repose confidence in them.

WILL FIGHT THAT CARPET BILL.

Alderman Salinger, when asked last evening
if he intended to take any steps to prevent the
payment OF the bill of Regain a. Higgins for car
bet furnished TO Judge McGrath's Court, which
was passed by tine Board OF Aldermen on Tues
day evening. in his absence, said that he Ger
tainly would, the bill being, il his opinion, ex-

forty cents more per yard than the same quality
and pattern of carpet can be purchased for. he
could NOT say what he would do until he knew

Go slow, gentlemenl

WE do not wholly agree with Mayor
Wanser that he can do nothing about
that scandalous misconstruction OF
the Greenville station house until 1t
comes before him as a finish ed work.
1t will then be too late to do any
thing. Then the bullying walls and
the cracked arches will be covered up
in nice shells of plaster.
He can do several things at once
He can shake up the Street and
Water Board with a good sharp let
ter.
He can refuse to pay the contractor
another red cent until every flaw is
rectifed.
He can refuse to pay n cent more
to the incompetent or negligent 10
spector who has let the work reach its
present stage in its present rotten con-
dition.
We are not sure but he can take
the whole business before the Grand
Jury.
These are the things he can do.

Ha1fen and Hart's new idea"
A musical farce comedy which has at
tracted a great deal of favorable notice in
other cities, called the ''The Idea," will
be the entertainment at the Academy of
Music next week. 1t is the latest pro-
duction of the popular farceurs, Hallen
and Hart. Their names are sufficient to
attract a lively interest. They are adroit
and r~esourceful entertainers, who have
commanded attention by industrious aud
progressive methods, as well as
genuine merit. Their performances
OF Later On" SO we'll known and liked,
was always characterized by pleasing in
dividualttv. 1t had song, dance, frolic,
aud all the other Ingredients of such
light and flimsical pieces. The varie-
gated bill of entertainment they offered
contained no offense TO good taste, either
in ext. character or color. There was all
the jingle and prettiness that one could
desire, without any vulgar suggestions.
In the case of their new play, THE
Idea, - they have retained all OF those
commendable qualities, with an added
measure of humor and an intelligent
threadof story. The pivotal character lDthe
new pieces is a sort of reforming genius;
one of those sensitive busy-bodies who
are always in a state of nervous agony
lest the world go to the demnition bow

and Water Board may compel the
Erie Railway to elevate its tracks ap-
pears to have much good in 1t. We
have not yet had an opportunity to
examine the measure in detail, but
the general theory is sound and
right. Grade crossings, such as those
of the Erie, are the worst sort OF det-
riment to a city. They keep an I'M
portant area of the city from the least
degree of development. OF course
the company does not care, but n
people must not suffer forever for us
indifference. Their municipal repre-
sentatives should be given power to
assert their rights so forcefully that
resistance would be impossible.
