HOBoKEN TEACHERS MEET.
They Discuss the Project of Organize
ing an Association.

The teachers Of the public schools of Ho-
boken met this afternoon directly after
school for their regular business meeting.
The attendance was larger than usual, as
the committee appointed to report upon the
advisability of organizing a Teachers Asso-
citation hada report to make at the meeting.
After the routine business was disposed of
the committees report was received. 1t was
discussed afterward. This project has been
in contemplation for some time. Many of
the teachers think that by organizing into
one whole body, with constitution and by
laws to govern, and officers to control, the
teachers will be benefited. They say that
more harmony will exist and that each
teacher will assume a personal interest in
the society, more than they do now at the
teachers meeting. AS regards the social
advantages the teachers entertain great
hopes. Already, and even before the COM
mittee had its report constructed, some of
the teachers were devising means OF enter
tainment. The teachers, for the most part,
were enthusiastic in the project. The meet
ing is in progress as The News goes to press.

HOB0KEN'S SMALL P0X SCARE
Infant Daughter of Victim Believed
TO HAVE the DikeRSe.

The quarantine has been lifted from the
small pox house, No. SO Bloomfield street,
Hoboken, and the house is thoroughly fumi-
gated. 1t is feared that the infant daughter
of Mrs. Black, who died of the disease, will
become a victim. The symptoms, the doctors
say, are developing, and by tomorrow they
expect to find the marks of the malady
upon her. Mrs. Cox's daughter was
removed to the pest house yesterday, where
she will be treated She has the scourge III
its worst form and may not recoye Chill
dren living upon the block where the small
pox was discovered are not yet allowed to at
tend school. Health Inspector Granelli said
this morning that the children who had been
playing with Mrs. Cox's daughter are
being watched, and at the slightest
cause for fear they will be
taken Immediately to Snake Hill. He
does not think that any other than Mrs.
Blacks baby girl will be claimed as a victim,
although others were playing in the rooms.
Mrs. Black was buried yesterday in the
Hoboken Cemetery. Her body was placed
il a zinc lined coffin and no one was allowed
to see the remains.

word for Paine's celery compound. for | l hon

for it,"
Among the thousands of testimonials that
come to the proprietors of Paine's celery
compound every year, are letters from CRATE
full men and women in every station in life.
Little did Dartmouth's great professor real
ize the greatness of his benefit to mankind
when he first prescribed this remedy that
makes people well, and in the spring months
March, April, Mays as much superior to
all the ordinary tonics, ~nervines and sarsa-
parilias as the diamond is more brilliant
than a piece of glass. 1t is the best spring
medicine in the world. It makes people well.
1t is the true specific for diseases arising
from a debilitated nervous system and inn
pure blood. 1t is a positive cure for dyspep-
sia, biliousness, liver complaint, neuralgia,
rheumatism, all nervous diseases and kidney
troubles. For the latter Paine's celery com
pound has succeeded again and again where
everything else has failed.
The medical journals of this country and
Europe have given more space to the many
remarkable cases where the use of Paine's
celery compound has made people well than
to any other one subject.

Ohm VAUGHN CONVICTED.
Friends Tried TO Prove HE Was In

John Vaughn of No. 1874 First street, a
sheep butcher, shot Richard Supple of No.
AT Grand street twice on the evening of
January s, and yesterday, when On trial in
the Court of General Sessions for the
offence, through his lawyers, Norman L.
Rowe and Meryyn Armstrong, demanded
that he should be acquitted on the ground of
insanity.
On the evening in question Supple, Ed
ward King, John Hayes, George Harring-
ton aud others were conversing at the cor
ner of Grove and Fifth streets. Vaughn
came down Fifth street and saw them stand
ing there. He went into Farley's saloon and
remained there a few moments and then re-
turned to the street and called King to him.
He was standing near the group and knew
all of the young men in it. He had been on
friendly terms with Supple, who, like him
self, was a sheep butcher at the abattoir.
Vaughn told King that Supple was talking
about him, and without further remark
drew a revolver and blazed away at Supple.
The bullet penetrated the Derby hat worn
by the latter and inflicted a slight scalp
wound.
Supple fed around the corner into Grove

DANGER JUST AHEAD
A Prominent Professor Speaks About
the Threatening Things Abroad
at This Time of the Year.

"It is surprising how many people are
suffering today from so-called coughs, colds
and influenza"
The remark was made by a very promi-
nent professor, connected with one OF the
leading New York hospitals. Continuing,
he said: =.
sit is not these things that are troubling
people, but it is an advanced form OF our
old enemy, the grip. People feel out of
sorts, sneeze, nave pains in the muscles and
bones, have no appetite, lose all interest in
the world and wonder is the matter.
1t is the grip, nothing else.
SNOW, all such symptoms need to have
prompt treatment. The attack must be
met and repealed at once, or it is certain to
run into something serious. / know of but
one way to certainly avoid these troubles
which are now so common, and that Is to
immediately counterfeit them by using q
good, pure, strong stimulant. Nothing Of
the ordinary kind, but something pure and
scientific. For this purpose nothing has
ever equalled Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey,
which is acknowledged today by physicians
and scientific people to be the only pure,
medicinal malt whiskey upon the market"
The words of the professor are true, and
they carry a wonderful meaning to many
men and women who are suffering with the
first symptoms of grip, or else grip In its
advanced stages. For all such people we
offer a word of advice, which is to take the
best means to overcome these troubles and
do not permit any dealer to swerve you
from your purpose to have that which has
proven itself by years of use, to be the best
and purest stimulant in the world.

business at No. 419 Grove street, is suing
William Kerr, the owner of the premises,
for illegal confiscation of the stock and fix
lures of his business. Cross says that he

JUDGE LIPPINooTT AWAY.
Pennsy. Injunction Argument Had
TO ne POSTPONED.

to ne Postponed.
The continuation of the argument in the
case of the National Docks and New Jersey
Junction and Connecting Railway Com
pany against the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company was set down by Judge Lippin-
colt for today. When this time was fixed
last Saturday the Judge had anticipated
that the argument at Trenton on the SEN
ate question would nave been finished. In
this he was mistaken, and In consequence,
was compelled this morning to go to Tren-
ton. and to adjourn the railroad argument
until tomorrow. The issue that is to be ar
gued, as published in The JERSEY CRY
NEWS last Saturday, is whether the juno
tion Company by paying the $3.50 D award
ed by a jury to the Pennsylvania Company
for damages, to County Clerk Mclaughlin
as Clerk of the Circuit Court, constituted
q legal payment into court.
The Junction Company claims that the
payment was regular, INC the Pennsylvania
Company denies it and holds that the pay
ment should have been made to the Judge,
who then might designate a custodian of
the money. In this claim the Pennsylvania
Company was backed by an opinion render
ed by V~ice-Chancellor Van Fleet, In order
to place themselves in a position which
would probably prevent the Pennsylvania
Company from urging that the tender of
the Judgment money had been irregular, the
lawyers for the Junction Company in the
court room Saturday made a second tender
of money with interest to date. Judge Lip
pincott directed that County Clerk Nc
Laughlin should be placed in charge Of it.
The argument will probably be resume
tomorrow, but no matter how the Court de-
cides. the case will be taken to the Supreme
Court on appeal or by a writ of certiordri.
