One night the patron gave a ball. The
vaqueros all came with their girls, and a
string band rendered music with a very
dancy swing. | sat in IA corner and observed
the man who wears the big hat and who
throws the rawhide as he cavorted about
with his girl, and the way they dug up the
dust out Of the dirt OF the floor soon put
me to coughing. Candles shed their soft
luster-and tallow" down the backs OF our
necks, and the band scraped and thrummed
away in n most serious manner.
Tom Bailey, the foreman, came round to
me, his eyes dancing and his shock OF hair
standing up like Circassian beauty's, and
pointing, he said, "Thar's a woman who's
prettier than speckled pup; put your
Irvine ON her" Then, as master OF cere-
monies, he Strengthened up and sang out
over the fiddles and noise, Dance thar, you
fellers, or you'll git the govt"
In an adjoining room there was n very
heavy jug Of strong water, and thither the
men repaired to pick up, so that as the
night wore on their brains began to whirl
after their legs, and they whooped at times
in II way to put ones nerves on edge. The
band scraped the harder and the dance
waxed fast, the spurs clinked, and bang,
bang went the winchester rifles in the patio,
while the chorus, "Viva ell Patron" rang
around the room--the OLD Guard was in &C.

The railroads in Japan are partly owned
by the government and partly by private
stockholders, but the rates and rules for
the government roads govern the Others
also. At all the stations are overhead
bridges, and crossing the track at grade is
prohibited as in England. The stations are
roomy and neat, the platforms ample, and
at both ends of the platform the name OF
the station is conspicuously posted, The

BHCKIE'S WEDDING CAKE
Her Aunt Made it But Failed to
Remember Her Nieee's
Warning.

"When ask you to make me wedding
cake you will know that am going to be
married soon," pretty Beckie Vile, several
months ago, laughingly said this to her aunt,
who promptly forgot all about it. Therefore
she saw nothing strange in Beckie's asking
her to make her rich cake couple of days
previous to Thanksgiving day. She made
the cake and the next day, the one previous
to the aforesaid holiday, went on visit to
Philadelphia.
WENT AND GOT MARRIED.
That same night Miss Vile made call
with young man ON the Rev. Arney s,
Biddle, Pastor of the Summit Avenue Pres
byterian Church, and came back Mrs.
Adolph E. Becker James E. Vile, her
cousin, and Miss Mamie Dayles of Prescott
place were present as witnesses. Becker had
been courting Miss Vile for about six months.
They loved each other dearly, and finally
decided that they would join hands for life.
Miss Vile, who lives with her aunt at No.
70 Astor place, was afraid that that lady
would object to the union, so they decided tC
be s'hitched" clandestinely.
THE STORY is OUT.
They said nothing about the matter to
any of their relatives or friends, and it was
not until Thursday night that it leaked out
When it did it caused great deal of sur
prise among the friends and acquaintance Of
the young lady. She is a member of the
Bergen Reformed Church. Becker is first
class plumber and is employed on jackson
avenue. Previous to his marriage he lived
in Greenville now he lives with his wife al
her aunt's home.
When Beckie told her aunt of her escapadt
she said, ''Auntie, do you remember what
told you about the cake"

THE WARsHIP RESOLUTION.
Comment of the ssArmy and Navy
GaZette...
By Gable to the United Press.

By Gable to the United Press.
LONDON, Jan. 6, 1S94.-The Army and
Nauy Gazette, in an article on the recent
mishap of the warship Resolution and the
many statements, official and unofficial, that
have been made, concerning it, says
SIT is absurd to assume that the Resolu-
ton rolled from forty-three to forty-fye de-
grees. We do not admit that it has been
proved that she did anything of the kind.
This opinion is not founded on our judg-
ment, but : upon the subjoined facts.
The pendulum in these battleships is
only adjusted to roll of thirty
degrees either way through an arc of
sixty degrees, which is enclosed in an up
right case The pendulum strikes the sides
of the case when the vessel heels thirty de-
grees, and can go no further. Therefore 1t
IS obvious that the Resolution was not OBJ
served to roll beyond thirty degrees, unless
battens were employed, and they were not
used It was an unsatisfactory illustration
to say that her rails were under water, as
the seas in the Bay of Biscay come from
different directions.
The adjustment of the pendulum to thirty
degrees indicates that the Admiralty did not
expect greater roll. That the Resolution
rolled enormously is not doubted but that
she rolled at an angle of forty-fve degrees
each way we regard as most unlikely, as the
moment of stability between thirty and
forty-five degrees is enormous"

Woman Frozen to Death.
RaI Cable to the United Press.

LONDON, Jan. 6, 1S94.-A despatch from
Lincoln reports very cold weather there.
The snow that has recently fallen has SO i'm
peded traffic on the highways in the country
districts that the mails, which are conveyed
in carts to and from the various villages, are
greatly delayed. Near Horncastle, eighteen
miles from Lincoln, a carriage stands by the
roadside almost buried out of sight in the
drift that has formed around it.
A woman has been frozen to death in
Horncastle Numerous drowning accidents,
caused by the breaking of the ice on streams
and ponds, have been reported. AT Shorn-
cliffe Oxford and Birmingham the mercury
dropped to zero last night.
The coal dealers, taking advantage OF the
cold snap and the delay in the receipt OF
coal, have put their prices up three shillings
per ton.
The Continental trains are all belated.
Canal navigation has ceased.
The cart that started yesterday to deliver
the mail at Lizard Point, Cornwall, has not
vet arrived at its destination. A party OF
men have gone out to search for it.
y On the Isle of Wight today the mercury
registers thirty degrees of frost. heavy
snow storm is prevailing.
A railway train was embedded in the snow
for hours yesterday between Kirby Stephen
and Barnard Castle, County of Durham.

ALBANY THEATRE AFIRE.

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. G. 1S94.-The Albany
Theatre, five story building covering
half an entire block and adjoining the City
Building, is mass of flames, and will prob
ably prove total loss. The lower floor is
occupied by the large grocery store of Dris-

The Albany Theatre building is total
loss and the City Building is now t2:10 on
fire. The entire fire department of the city
is on the scene.
captain Herne, U. S. A." Company, is
at the theatre this week and will lose all its
effects. The fire was discovered in the south
east corner of the stage shortly before twelve
O'clock and burned fiercely. The five story
structure which covers half a block, is
occupied, all above the first floor, on which
is Drislane's grocery store and saloon, by
the theatre and is owned by H. P. De Graft,
of New York City. The flames spread so
rapidly that the loss will be almost total On
the building and stock.
At 1210 P. M, the roof fell in, but nobody
was injured The firemen had great difficulty
in fighting the fire, on account of the narrow
streets ON which the high building faced.

will lose all fixtures which are owned by
him.
The firemen finally had to devote their
efforts to save surrounding property.

CRANK CHICK AT LAKEWOOD.
A written Document Sent Mrs
George Gould.
Special to the Jersey City NeWs.

Special to the Jersey Citu Neus.
LAKEWOOD, Jan. 6, 1S94.-E. c. Chick, the
mild hammered, gentle crank who wants
George j. Gould to back his journalistic en-
terprise, and John D. Rockefeller to aid him
in ridding New York and Brooklyn of their
political bosses, was up betimes this morning
He issued in manuscript form the first num-
Der Of what he calls "The Chick Lakewood
News" He devoted an hour and half
writing down the ideas which hoated across
his brain under the inspiration of a Lake
wood sunrise, and at eight O'Clock he struck
out across lots for the Gould cottage. He
hailed carpenter who is making some re-
pairs about the house and entrusted the
manuscript to him. 1t was addressed to Mrs.
George J. Gould Mr.. Chick did not know
that Mr.. and Mrs. Gould are in New York
A portion of the screed addressed to Mrs.
Gould ran like this
1.-The companionship of minds, like those
of Shakespeare, Goethe, Schiller Byron and
Longfellow, will be yours when you are
editoress of Aldine, the brightest and best
magazine in the world. The rooms of the
Queen, which are closed to some of the Four
Hundred, will be open to you, and your
position in the world of intellect will be SUI
preme.n
Mr.. Chick watched all OF the outgoing
trains this forenoon under the impression
that he would see Mr.. Gould on his way to
New York City.
Chick talks freely to every one, and al
ready knows half the people in Lakewood
by name. He haunts the depot, the Post
Office and the stores, but keeps away from
the big hotels, as he has learned that he is
not wanted at any of them. He sent a
postal card to his lawyer, Robert H. Nc
Grath of Brooklyn, this morning, requesting
him to bring suit against one New York pa
per for quarter of million dollars. He
says the papers have injured his proposed
publication TO that amount, as his partner
ship with George Gould would certainly
have been arranged but for the notoriety
given plain business transaction by the
press.
The local authorities do not consider the
peace of the town in danger, and will not
interfere with Mr.. Chicks doings unless
there is complaint from some citizen.

A DIsGRAOEFUL FARCE.
Drunken Coroner Holds an Inquest
In Halifax.

HALIFAX, N. S., Jan. 6, 1S94.-The in
quest on the bodies of the four men drowned
in the gold mine at Montague was held at
that place yesterday, and was the most dis
grace farce ever enacted in Nova Scotia.
The foreman of the mine was the foreman
of the jury, and four other members of the
iury were relatives of the victims, proceed
ing in direct violation of the law The Cor
oner. DR. W. H. Weeks, who was under the
influence of liquor, and who frequently left
the Jury room and retired to his private
apartment for more stimu AIT, announced
that he was the direct representative Of
Queen Victoria, and therefore above the
mere local laws of the country.
When Hector McInnes of Drysdale and
McInnes, who appeared for the relatives of
the victims, and G. s. Harrington, @. c.,
who appeared for the management of the
mine, protested against the Coroner's
actions, that official threatened them with
arrest and refused to hear them.
Inspector of Mines Gilpin suggested that
the evidence should be taken by a shorthand
reporter, but the Coroner replied that he
never allowed another man to mix his
whiskey. The Coroner expressed the opinion
that "Whats been done can't be undone,"
and insisted that it was useless to inquire
into the cause of the deaths; the inquiry
should rather be directed to the avoidance of
similar fatalities in the future.
The lawyers pledged themselves to report
the Coroners conduct to the Government,
and the jury also decided to cooperate with
the counsel to that end, when the Coroner
exclaimed, ~ am big enough to shut up your
mugs,n and threatened to arrest any person
who said that his proceedings were If
regular.
TO a juryman one witness said that he had
asked Clancy, one of the underground bosses,
to look out for the old workings, when
Clancy replied, "There is no danger; we are
too busy getting gold now to look out for
that Counsel retired long before the farce
ended, and the jury finally brought in YER
dict of accidental death.

JOHN CAMPBELL ARRAIGNED.
Pleads Not Guilty of Numbering His
brother.

Brother.
In the Court of Oyer and Terminer today
John Campbell was arraigned on charge
of having murdered his brother Robert. He
pleaded not guilty The crime was COM
mitted on November IL. John and Robert
Campbell lived at No. Thomas street. On
the day in question the two brothers and
Albert Shaefing went to a barn in the rear
of the house to repair cart John gave
Robert a half dollar to purchase some beer.
Robert bought twenty cents worth and did
not give his brother the change. A quarrel
ensued and Robert, it is said, cut Johns
finger with knife. John seized broken
wagon shaft and struck Robert on the head
with it, inf1icting wound three and one
half inches long and fracturing the skull.
Robert died in the City Hospital from the
effects of the blow on November II. John
Campbell was arrested. Today when ar
raigned on the Indictment he pleaded not
guilty and asked for lawyer to defend him.
Judge Lippincott said he had received a
letter from Campbell requesting that Lawyer
Alexander Simpson be appointed his counsel
to defend him. Campbell admitted that he
had sent the letter to the Court because he
wanted a lawyer to defend him. Judge
Lippincott said he would consider the ap-
plication for counsel and would make an ap-
pointment within few days.
