Agent-JerseY City's
Benefits.

Mayor Wanser's victory over the New
Jersey Junction AMI National Docks
Railway Companies has effaced every
trace of dissatisfaction which prevailed
AMONGST sensible property owners in the
vicinity of that small aud valueless cSr-
tioa OF Railroad avenue to be vacated.
for the promotion Of a railroad scneme
which promises 30 boom real estate in
Jersey City mers than any project carried
through successfully in years past
Mayor Wanser investigated the proposed
piau Of the railroad companies, as en-
bodied in it's original petition, and
learned that considerable damage would
be done to Wayne street aud also Rail-
ROAD avenue. He was not willing
to surrender any city property
to ricn corporation without just com
pensation, Nor would the Mayor allow
the petitioning companies to damage pri-
vate property without making fair re-
turns. In red hot veto message passed
for the companies ne cited these facts and
the public took sides with him. The re-
sull of the Mayors prompt action brought
the company to terms, aud DOW all the
trouble has been done away with.
Counsellor Asa W. Dickinson, in speak
ing OF the petitioners proposition this
morning said
I'VE had hoped in view OF the fact that
this railroad will be of untold benefits to
Jersey City to escape spending any great
some of money in Improvements. but
Mayor Wanser. who is on the LOOKOUT
for tbe city's interests, checked
the progressive march we were
making. The Mayor made extravagant
demands, but rather than dispute the
matter with him and thus give the pub
lie the erroneous inca that we were 60
ing to construct road chat would
damage private interests, we decided
TO accede to the Mayors de-
mands. His firm stand gives
the city an entirely new and paved
street, and also compels US to spend
about s35, 900 in improving property sur
rounding our road from which we Will
receive no benefit Property owners,
however, will profit by it, as their land
will be worth double what 1t is now for
manufacturing purposes"
'"Phil'' Tumilty's k ick, said prom

SOCIALIST RIOT IN LUBEcK.
Bp Gable TO the United Press.


BERLIN, June 90, 1893.-The Socialists of
Lubbock, incensed at the result of the
second ballot of the member of the Reich
stag taken i'll that city yesterday, which
resulted in tho defeat of Johann Schwartz,
the Social Democratic candidate, by Herr
Goertz, Radical Unionist, made demon
stration last night that soon degenerated
into riot.
The worst rioting was done on Breites-
trasse, where the Socialists, aided by a
large number of loafers and wharf rats,
wrecked a number of shop fronts with
stones and clubs. The police charged the
mob, which fed without making much
resistance. A large number of the rioters
were arrested.
The city is quiet this morning and no
further trouble is apprehended
The confidence or the au uJhoritieS that
there would be no repitition of the riot
ing appears to have been misplaced.
The Socialists were not at all disheartehed
by the prompt attack made upon them by
the police. Subsequent to their disper-
sal they met in low beer shops and other
places along the water front and their
passions were famed by the leaders who
had escaped arrest. This morning they
again appeared in groups on the streets
aud their demeanor showed thnt they
were ripe for mischief. The separate
groups soon consolidated and moved in
the direction of the City Hall. upon which
an ATTACK was made. The police were out
in force, and after tussle with the
rioters succeeded in driving them from
the vicinity OF the City Hall. The mem bers
of the mob then devoted their attention
to the houses occupied by the Liberal
leaders, which they attacked with stones.
doing considesable damage before the
police could drive them off.
Altogether one hundred arrests of So
cialists and their supporters were made.

BRooME AND THE SToNEMEN.

Mr.. Louis Broome, by announcing that
the stonemen had combined to victfmize
the CITY. to the extent of about $4,000 on
the City Hall contract, has stirred up the
fiveliest kind of row. and has placed
the City Hall Commissioners in an ex-
ceedingly embarrassing position. The
Board of Finance is the custodian OF the
City Hall G Commissioners funds, and now
that trickery has been alleged. the finan-
ciers Intend to prevent the city from
being victimized by stonemen or any one
else.
Architect Broome says that he can get
the stone work for 100000, aud in the
same breath says that even this price
leaves profit ranging from $4,000 to
$1,000. The Finance Commissioners
want City Hall. but not bauy enough
TO allow the City Hall Commissioner or
Louis Broome to throw away thousands
of dollars.
Commissioner Alva A. Bedell said this
morning that ne would not vote TO give
the City Hall Commissioners another
cent until they succeeded in getting bids
for the work which were reasonable aud
within the amount OF the available funds.

1t Cost Too Much.

The mingling of blue and gray is
very pretty idea, but in practical opera
ton it has proved too expensive to the
blue. To bring about these amicable
conditions the tendency of the press
has been to belittle the blue, so as not
to offeud the gray, until the public has
commenced to think the blue did very
little after all, and that the small debt
has been paid long ago. In fact there
is so much gray in the sky at Washing
ton and other sections that speck of
blue sky would he appreciated for
change. An old Union veteran might
almost ask himself: "Was that war
dream, and did serve four years in
the armies of the Union or NOT? Was it
our side by whom the old flag was car
ried, and did we save the nation? 1t
must be mistake; the men we fought
wore gray, and they are hOnored aud
applauded as much as are we who wore
the blue. "-Ihe american Soldier.

Narrow Escape Of the Elephant.

There was fire at Coney Island lit
tie while ago, and the big elephant al
most burned up. His legs were scorched,
and his trunk had to be covered up with
rubber blankets to keep it from being
burned. While all this was going on
the big elephant stood stock still, and
only when the flames were put out did
he seem to heave sigh of relief. Through
all the excitement he remained motion
less.
Now this may seem very strange to
you. But the elephant is made of wood
SO you cannot expect him toshow a great
deal of emotion. He is the big fellow
who stands upon the bench at Coney Is
land, inviting you to walk up inside of
his legs and his trunk and take view of
the island. His name is Jumbo, and his
age is just years. He has never grown
any since he was built, but he has chang
ed his coat every spring, when new paint
has been put upon him.
People out on the ocean who had new
er seen the wooden Jumbo were very
much alarmed when the fire swept across
Coney Island because they thought the
elephant was alive and that he would
burn up. But when they heard that he
was only made of wood, they enjoyed
the sigut greatly.-NeW York Ledger.

How Thimbles Are Made.

In the making of thimble there
are several operations, the blank
passing into the cup and then the
rolling on of the band. Then the
thimbles, which have assumed a form
warranting the name, are carried to
the factory proper, and after bur
nishing the more interesting process
of knerling is performed This knerl-
ing is the forming of the little in
donations which receive the end of
the needle and assist in pushing the
point through the fabric. The cup
isplaced i'll a lathe, the operator with
suitable tool knerls the end of the
thimble.
During this operation a peculiar
and by no means unpleasant musical
sound is emitted with varying tones.
The point of the thimble being
reached, a flat knerler finishes the
side, and with a sharp edged tool the
polished cutting at the sides of the
band is performed. Then on another
lathe it is placed in hollow block
and the inside FURNISHED. All the oil
and dirt are then removed, and the
thimble is polished and made ready
for the mark.t.-Hu drlre.

Lapland Children.

In the Lapland village at the Worlds
fair are several babies Mes Daniel Nor
tonson is the youngest. His age is
months, and he was born in Lapland. in
curious earth hut like that wherein he
now reposes, in almost total darkness for
his days as well as nights. His mother,
a fair faced woman, makes things as
easy for him as possible by keeping Wis
itors from intruding on his slumbers, if
not on his waking hours. There are
three other children in the Mortonson
family. and in a nearby hut is another
baby, II girl this time, the daughter of
Margareta Kross. 1t seems remarkable
that children can live and thrive in the
close atmosphere of the Lapland huts,
but so they do, and grow hardy men
and women.
