Oueer Runaor in Hoboken About the In
dicted Ex-PrIncipal.
For several days past it has been
quietly rumored in Hoboken that Will
liam FL. Elston, the deposed school prin-
cipal, had turned to saving souls as a
means of livelihood. Notwithstanding
the apparent righteousness of the re-
port, there are at least u haif-dozen
ladies in that city, whose veracity
has always Deen above reproach,
who are positive that they saw Elston at
the barracks of the Salvation Army In
Fourteenth street, New York. and heard
him preach. On Friday night last the
Kings Daughters Of one Of the largs Ho-
poken Churches, who had assisted in an
entertainment in the metropolis, while
coming home being curious to know how
the Army conducted service entered the
barracks. A song was being rendered at
the time at the conclusion OF which, the
story goes, the H~ebokenities were
| asrounded to see ex-PrincipaI Elsron rise
| up from an obscure seat and expouud
religion.
The story was tod with such earnest
ness by the young ladies since their re-
| turn that many residents have since
| visited the barrack TO satisfy their curl
| oslty as to the truth of the report.
One young lady, a Kings Daughter"
| told q reporter last night that she had
positively heard Elston preach at the bar
racks last Friday night.
A~reporter, in consequence, spent sew
erai hours among Brother Booths follow
ers. He arrived at the barracks early

to congratulate the deposed principal
upon his new departure, but was disap-

The janitor of the apartment house, No.
1CO Fourteenth street, near Washington
street. Hoboken, about seven O'Clock last
evening was going down to the cellar for
coal when he heard a noise that sounded
very much like a baby's laugh.
The noise came from a
dark corner of the hall, aad
lighting a match. the janitor was surprls-
ed to find it was a baby girl. about three
weeks old. 1t was wrapped up in old
clothes and had evidently been in the
hallway only a short time.
The jsnftor called in Policeman Weeks,
who made preparations to Lake the child
to the station mouse. He borrowed a
blanket and wrapped the youngter
in it, then boarded a car.
All this time the child had been very
very quiet, but at Twelfth street it gave
evidence OF having healthy lungs. Then
Weeks real trouble began. An old lady
%snappishly advised him to give the child
its food; d young one offered to inyesti-
gate and see If q pin was sticking it.; a
man thought 1t had collie and wanted to
get some gin for 1t; the old lady again
came to the front and made Weeks lay
the kid face down on his knee and trot it,
at the same time pound on its back; but
the child cried on and did not stop until
Weeks with a very red n perspiring
face laid it in the arms of Matron Ger
man.
It's owners have not yet called to ask
after It.
