FAGAN FINDS A NUISANCE.
And He Takes Queer Method tt

Abate 1t.
Mayor Pagan yesterday tried his hand
at abating what he considered nuisance,
and it cannot be saia his effort was very
success full. Soren Thuesen keeps a gro
Gerry store at No. 1.138 Garden street. Ho-
box en-. An empty lot stands between
his house and the one
south. This lot used to be
a playground for children. but Thuesen
hired it and drove the children out. The
parents of the children, of course. didn't
like this, so when they saw Thuesen pile
n lot of boxes and barrels outside his
store they complained TO the Mayor. He
notified Street Commissioner Kelly. who
Saturday wrote Thuesen that II
he didn't have the boxes re-
moved in six days he would cause his ar
rest. Yesterday Mayor Fagan paid
visit to Thuesen's place, and seeing the
stuff all piled up ordered Thuesen to i'm
mediately remove them, and if the boxes
were not removed in two hours, he said
he would have him arrested.
Thuesen didn't know the Mayor and
talked back to him. The Mayor went
away. When he was gone Thuesen set
stuff. Pagan returned in about half
hour, and the stuff not ali be-
ing taken away he Immediately
sent TO Police Headquarters for Sanitary
Inspector Granelli, aud ordered him to
arrest Thuesen. Granelli did so, and ar
raigned him before the Sergeant at the
desk. The Sergeant wanted Grauelli to
place the man in cell, but he refused,
and went upstairs to see the Mayor. The
Mayor came down and made complaint,
charging Thueson with violating city
ordinance. After the complaint was
made, and before the man was placed in
q cell, Mayor Pagan ordered mis- dis
charge.
Thueson's friends are much put out by
the arrest. aud. il is said, Thueson will
bring suit against the Mayor tor false

BIG-BILLED AND POISONOUS
Special to The Jersey city Ne.rs.

TRENTON, June 6. 1S93-The mosquito
crop this year promises to be unusually
large. From the pines district in the
port that already the tunefuI little crea-
lures are sharpening their bills and pre-
pairing for an active and aggressive cam
paign. They are trying their weapons
upon the tough skinned South Jerseyman
before they pack their trunks and sally
northward to feast upon the blue blood
of the first families of Hudson aud Essex.
Every man from the pines district who
has visited Trenton during the past few
days was sight to behold.
HIS FACE BADLY BITTEN.
Jacob Henderson, one of the State
Commissioners to codify the laws relat-
ing to towns and townships, visited the.
State House yesterday, and was at first
glance recognized by few Of his acquaint-
ances. His face was full of hills and
ridges and he greatly resembled the Drug
gist in the MASKED Ball' after he had
exposed himself to the bees. Mr.. Hen
erickson lives in Penn berton. and he said
the mosquitoes were focklng from theI
pines in millions and that since Friday
the residents of that district had beer
terribly tortured by the little pests.
Isaac Budd, son of Theodore Budd, Z
Vice President of the Cranberry Growers'E
Association, has charge of his father'si
bogs, and makes q six mile journey
through the pines every day. He hasS
encountered the early mosquito and beent
compelled to assume the role of the eariye
worm. He says that never in his experl-N
ence has he seen them SO large aud SO mud
merous. So thick are they that it isl
necessary to cut through them with a
whip at times in order to see ahead.

the county must be in by june l. or as
soon thereafter as possible. The Com
mtssiopers, after short discussion, de-
cided that all assessments must be pre-
