Wefntfaal Talks Big Appropriate
for M e,nor5as DAY.

WeintE,al Talks BIC appropriation
for Memorial Day.
The Hopoken Common Council met last
night. Major Chris. Woerner Post, G.. A.
r.. requested that the council appropriate
money for Memorial Day observance. The
matter was referred to the Finance Com
Inittee, who promised Councilman Weinthal
that they would look after his request that a
bigger sum than usual be given SO the Grand
Army Post would have plenty. TIT con-
was awarded Edward Farrell, lowest bidder,
at sixty-four cents per basin. Patrick
Flaherty withdrew his bid for clean

bid was lowest. William Spilliney commu-
Gated that he would like to clean the foun-
tains in the parks for $15. Referred. CITY
Clerk McDermott reported that he had col
lected $50, s46. II in licences during the year

Beyer as Street Commissioner for $4,000 was
approved. Police Commissioner Utz and

failed to qualify. The Council passed the
resolution. Haggerty did not care for the

man Weintha1 handed in a resolution pro-
| Clerks office to any one not connected with

RECORDS CHARGES RATTLE THEM
Frceh oIders Never Heard of Fayorite
stone Contractors.

| FrcehoIders Never Heard of Fayorite
stone Contractors.
There was considerable surprise at the
| F~reehoIder's office yesterday when the re
marks of George L.IRecord were read in THE
/ JERSEY CRY NEWS, concerning the sale of
| crushed stone.
The ~ffreeholders VINO happened to be there
were indignant ut the accusations that Free
| holders would give favorite contractors q
| Greater quantity of crushed stone than they
! paid for, and that therefore the Now Jersey
Trap Rock Company could not compete with
| the county in the sale OF this merchandise.
Some time ago the Freeholders refused to
permit this to handle and sell the
! c%ounty's crushed stone, but they adopted a
| resolution that such stone should be sold at
| market prices.
Mr.. Record was not satisfied with this. and
in THE NEWS yesterday he said:-
ether resolution to sell the stone at the
market price does not satisfy us, because the
| price can be fixed at any figure for a favor
| tie buyer by manipulating the measurement
| of the stone sold.n
l asked Freebooter Hennessey what he
knew about this charge and he said
81 will not talk about it. Tn COMMITTEES
| on P~euitentiary, Gallagher, Ellis n Hal
| liday have all to do with selling the stone
! You had better see them
Freebooter McNaliy said:-"We will sell
| crushed stone to anyone who will pay the
price. [ never heard of a ~favorite c~ontrac-
| tor getting stone in preference to anyone
| else, or of getting more stone than ne PAID
| for.n
The charges of Mr.. Record will probably
| be discussed today, either in committee or at
| the meeting of the board.

SELLING SALARY WARRANTS.
FiremeR who DO So Run the Risk
of Dismissal.

The Fire Commissioners are determined
to break up the habit of the fire adde's OF
selling their warrants before they are Que
to mote shaversn and 'tmoney sharks" The
offence formerly laid the offender open to
immediate dismissal from the Department.
In fact, Section s of the rules governing
the board, provided that any mar found
selling his warrant should be Immediately
dismissed. The rule has never been enforc-
ed in previous years, and, as a result, a num-
Der Of the men have fallen into the habit,
and now find it difficult to break away.
Last night James I. Kelly of Hook and
Ladder 10. 2 and James B. Riddle of No. 4
Engine were arraigned before the
board on charges of diSpOsSlng
of their warrants. The men pleaded guilty.
Before retiring to consider the cases q reso-
luton was adopted amending the rules of the
department relative to the premature dlspoSl-
ton of warrants. The amendment makes it
optional with the board to either impose a
fine for the offense or dismiss. Under the
amendment Kelly and Riddle were each
fined one days pay.
"This otfense must not be repeated" said
President Brennan to the offenders. 'NThe
pay to meet all their obligations. and there
dis no occasion to sell your warrants in adj
vance. This practice is going to be broken
up, and hat may as well be understood now
as at any other time"
William Johnson of No. 2 Engine remained
in the station house on May 2 when an
alarm was sounded. The charge against
him was dismissed.
1t was decided to purchase a new horse to
cost not more than $255. Superintendent OF
Telegraph Speicher petltioned the Board for
the appointment of a regular nj experienced
lineman. He declared that for the past five
years all trouble with the wires had been ad-
justed by himself and one man. He cited
the additional dangers of taking out crosses
because of the presence of trolley wires and
declared that one man had TO remain on
duty all the time at headquarters, to pre-
vent the switchboard from being burned out.
He called the boards attention to the fact
that neither he nor his assistant had any
vacation last year. Hezsays his health has
been impaired by hard work and his assist
ant is now on the sick list. He also COM
planned of the deplorable sanitary condition
of the quarters provided for them. The pc
tition caused astonisment and steps will be
taken at once to remedy the evils COM
planned of.
Chief Conway notified the board of the
death of hcseman at call John Farrell OF
Engine No. 3 from consumption on May 5.
The Grand Army of the Republic requested
that a battalion of regular men b allowed
TO parade on Decoration Day. The request
was refused, but all G. A. r. men in the de-
partment will be relieved from duty on that
occasion. The board will meet again May %.

FLORIST KRUsE LOST A JOB.
Mfsteok Eddie Edinger FOL a Rivals
Employe.

Mfsteok Eddie Edinger Flo a RfvaFs
Employe.
At the last meeting of the Board of Trus-
tees of the New York Boy Cemetery Super
intendent Tilden was instructed to post
notices in conspicuous places in the ceme-
tesy requesting persons who visit the "city
of the dead" IN bicycles not to ride the
machines on any of the paths or roads. Yes
terday afternoon Edward Edinger, n Of
G~reenville's most enthusiastic wheelmen, Wis
tied the cemetery to,place the grave OF his de-
ceased brother in condition, and as he had his
wheel with him he rode to the plot. lie was
BOT molested until he grabbed a watering
ean and started to search for water. Gene
terry Florist Kruse stopped him and told him
that if he didn't get off his wheel he VOID
be arrested. Th florist emphasized rs
threat by opening his coat and displaying q
large and not over pretty special policeman's
badge. Edinger, DESTROYS of avoiding
trouble, jumped off the wheel and demanded
an explanation, but the florist refused to
give it. Edinger afterward learned that the
trouble was caused by the water
ing can which he carried. On both
sides of the can was q large
letter ssG,u which Kruse thought was the
mark of Mr.. Gotthard, a rival florist He
imagined Edinger was an ernploye OF Cot
thard, and wanted to stop him from inter
fering with his occupation as cemetery ftor-
ist. Although Kruse had the contract to
keep Edinger's plot in condition, he did not
know "Eddie.n Neither did Eddie" know
the florist, but as soon as he proved his iden-
tity he notified him that his services would
no longer be required. When Kruse learned
that he had made a mistake, he was profuse
with apologies, but it was of no avail. His
observation-disclosures cost hin a customer, and
he will no doubt be more careful in the fu-
ENIe.

HIS HEAD AN ASSET
Valuable on Paper, But
Worth Very Little
to Creditors.
RECEIVER THURSTOES STATEMENT.
No Likelihood of a Dividend il
the Matter Of the Newark
Chemical Works.

MIR. Charles B. Thurston, whom CHANGER
Tor McGill appointed receiver Of the Newark
Chemical Works Company, gave out some
information this morning of the insoivenS
company's affairs which viii be anything
but pleasant reading to Jersey City ana
Newark creditors.
According to the receiver the outlook Tor
a dividend is extremely cloudy. Assets IN
the formof patents supposed to be worm
hundreds of thousands of dollars viii not
Weld one hundred dollars Not only be-
cause of their diminished value, bat Tor One
odd reason that one Of the coinpauy's ofnclais
carries them about the streets of Newark IN
his head. and Mr.. Thurston, with all his sa7
gacity and ingenuity, is at loss to know now
he is to attach these assets. He cant seize
DR.. RiSmores head ana eAtfacb lIoin VIZ
three patents.
One of these is a glue residue process Tor
making fertilizers and grease, but 1t mas
never been worked. The second is to manu-
facture fertilizers and grease from slaughter
house bones. This has been In use.
These two patents are down on the COM
nany's books valued at $751; 00. As to the
third patent, it is a process for the extrac-
ton Of certain materials from the resldue OF
prussiate of potash. This patent was never
used. Its value was estimated at s226,OoO.
PATENTS PRACTICALLY vALUELEss.
In all, therefore, it was expected tnat Jne
aggregate value of the patents, S2ol,ooOO,
would enable the receiver to divide a fairly
good sum among the creditors; but because
these patents really do not exist and cannot
practically be laid hold of, they are almost
valueless.
Mr.. Thurston does not believe he Will be
able to get a hundred dollars ror pauehbs
previously SO highly valued.
Then the assets of bills receivable ana &C
counts receivable and even matured notes on
the books, in all amounting to So5,oOO. nave
disappointed the receiver.
From all this sum he has only collected
800. and he does not believe that much
more can be collected.
WHAT A LII OFF Is HERE.
Mr.. Thurston realized from other prop
arty. such as sale of merchandise n Incl
dentals, about $1,000, but this sum is not
sufficient to pay wages and necessary ex-
penses connected with the receivership. As
a last straw there is the sale of the property
itself.
The Newark Chemical Company spent
$S7, 900 over the buildings and ground. 1t
was bought In at the sale for $3.50. n
door Mr.. Thurston is at his wits end to
know how to make the ends of the ~insolvent
corporation meet.
ats the worst case I've handled he re-
markedth morning, with a doleful shake
of his head.

Jersey City Ladies' Applaud the Sem
ttrment al tne Federation Slecssn@.
PHILADELPHIA, May 10, 1S94-The con-
vention of the Federation Of Women's CLUBS
was convened here yesterday. The attend
ance was very large. Among the delegates
were Miss Celie Gaines, Mrs M. r.
DeHart and Mrs. A. J. Newbury of Jersey
CITY. Mrs. Charlotte Emerson Brown OF
East Orange, N. j., presided. In her address
she spoke OF the vastnass OF the work ana
| Suggested conclusions that she had reached.
The first she named was that among the
/ many organizations by and for women none
| Is more helpful than the literary club move
| ment. centering in the General Federation
Of Women's Clubs.
Fl Abduction enlarged upon was the growth
from 80 TO $50 clubs, and 40 the next blsn-
niai she predicted q membership of 300. Ihe
work is only in its infancy. There should
| be hundreds of thousands of women in clubs
| She thought these advantages would be
| sought by the majority of women.
'sThe club is the training school Tor
w~onian's growing work. said she. n then
enlarged upon the women's organizations
! from various standpoints-social and intel
lectual. If the federation is to reach the
r~ipening harvest she thought it must be
wisely managed. on business principles, was
another conclusion voiced by the speaker,
who advised regarding danger or misnlan-
agenent and spoke of care In the choice OF
officers.
She further spoke of the State Committees,
and said that committees on the ground
could do better work than any Central
Board. She suggested as a possible improve
ment that the various clubs nominate the
| State Chairman. She spoke Of the danger
| that befalls all organizations of people seek
ing personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, and urged
that they be carefully kept out.
On the subject of mixed clubs, she Thought
it better that women should work by them
| selves and that they were less likely to be
! thrown into the shade. In some future day,
| she thought, men and women would work
together, and when women had polished
their arInor as men AVE they could work
together.
She vigorously advised preservation of the
| organization and spoke strongly against en-
tanglements, especially in the way of con-
| nection with other organizations, no matter
how good their aim. This was taken to be
| aimed against suffrage and temperance
movements and was greeted with loud ap-
plause.
Mrs. Brown argued that the foundation OF
the federation was broad enough IN itself,
that of social and intellectual culture,
which she thought covered all except the
pervasive influence Of love. She then dwelt
upen questions of organization, State and
penefai
