Roll of Honor Girl. Make Marks Aealns

Roll of Honor Girls Make Marks Against
the Roys They Don't Like.
Quite some excitement has been occa-
stoned In Hoboken the past few days
among the pupils and their parents of q
certain class in No 2 School, on Garden
street, between Ninth and Tenth streets.
The teacher has been in the habit of
allowing those pupils who were on the
roll of honor to correct the work of the
other scholars, she marking them
accordingly. Many of the boys have
been surprised to find at the end of the
week that their percentages were very
low, and as they are given statement to
show their parents, they naturally felt
bad over it, The boys complained to
their parents that the girls who looked
over the work were making bad marks
because they had grudge against some
of the boys. They never made marks
against their favorites, and the result was
that boys were up head in the class who
were always looked upon as slow in their
essons. The parents, on this representa-.
ltion by their children, refused to sign the
reports. and they Were returned unsigned.
There is talk of complaining to the
Board of Education.

SIR WALTER sCoTrs GREAT INDUSTRY.

He was the most Industrious oecupier

some OF the party would sometimes
take a station behind him with an

the exploits of Rob Roy. so that to me it
was like second reading when the novel

PENNSY'S AWARD CUT.
Extraordinary Decision of
the Jury In the Point Of
Rocks Suit.
TOTAL DAMAGES ALLOWED $4,000
This is $4,000 Less Than the Sum
Awarded by the Commissions
ers of Condemnation.

IL was precisely FIVE o'clock yesterda ,
when the jury in the great railroad trial,
which occupied the attention of Judge
Lippincott and stuck jury for two
weeks. entered court to render verdict.
The full details of this gigantic legal
battle have been told in the columns Of
The JERSEY CITY NEWS from time TO
time and brief summary of these de.
tails is as follows.
THE LEGAL BATTLE
The National Docks, New jersey juno.
ton and Connecting Railway Company
desired to comDlste its road from the
National Dock storage houses to Wee
hawken. and TO do this it was absolutely.
necessary to cross the track of the Penn
syivania Railroad Company at it's
yard at the Point of Rocks.
The Pennsylvania Company objected
to such crossing, and In 1888 took the
matter into the courts where it has been
ever since. After going through the
courts in this State. the case was taken
to the United States Supreme Court on
error, and the Peunsylvauia Company
was there defeated. as it had been in each
of the State Courts.
The result Was that the Commissioners
who had been appointed Dy the court E.,
condemn the right of way across the
Pennsylvania Company's road took eyi-
dence about six or eight months ago and
awarded the Pennsylvania Company
S99S2 for land taken, and $172.5s7
for damages which would result from the
necessary elevation Of the Peunsylvsuia
compRny's tracks to permit the Junction
road TO cross b Glow grade. The Penu-
sylyania Company complained that this
award was insufficient. and appealed
from it. 1t was this appeal which for
the last two weeks has beeu on tr,al, aud
which the verdict of the jury decided
yesterday.
THE JURY's VERDICT.
The jury's verdict was an award of
$4,000 total damages to be sustained by
the Pennsylvania Company, an amount
which is Ss7.569 less than the
sum awarded by the Commissioners of
Condemnation and which the PennsyI-
vania Company said was entirely too
small. The case will be carried 10 the
Court of Errors and Appeals. The
junction Company was represented by

INCIDENT IN A cHILDlS HOSPITAL

1t was always expected that new pa-

Umberto was q rogue who seemed 10
take q eight in prolonging this period of
initiation. He was an Italian boy Of
three, with large head, big brown half
wondering and half roguisn eyes. aud
the cfookedest legs, which made him
waddle like duck. Once it was noticed
that even on the second and third days
after admission some children in his
ward would be crying for home as in the
very begining-a thing explained only
when the tricks Of this young rascal
were discovered. He would watch until
all Was quiet and the nurse had stepped
out Of the ward for minute on some
duty, aud then would call to the new

THE FERRIS WHEEL.
1t VIII Remain in Chicago After the Fair
is Over

is Over.
CHICAGO, October "a, 1S93-Whatever
may be the fate of other features of the
Worlds Fair, the Ferris wheel will turn
on its axis for some time to come 1t will
not be moved to Coney Island or else
where. 1t will remain in Midway
Plaisance.
New York wanted the great invention,
but the company will not leave good
business for an uncertainty. This con-
clusion has been reached by the executive
officers of the company, and it is final
The company has the right to its present
position on Midway until May l, 1894,
and there it will remain. Before the
expiration of that time arrangements
will probably be made for contract
between the Park Commissioners and the
company for the right to the position.
The Ferris wheel has been the conten-
ton of several places of amusement and
summer resorts. Men who have money
invested in the wheel are satisfied with
the present situation, and believe that
even after the Fair has closed it will be
sufficiently well patronized to pay for its
operation.
