HUsTLING FOR A CONVENTION.
Asbury Park and Ocean o Want
the C. Il. 10 Meet There Next Year.
Gr1ecinl to fhe .IerscI Cifn Ne1cS.


ASBURY PARK, Aug. %, 1S94.-The
people of Asbury Park and Ocean Grove
seem to be taking hold of the project to
secure the annual convention ofthe Chris
tan Endeavor Society in 1895 with a will.
1t has been m that $4,000 will
be needed for the proper reception OF
the delegates, and the incidental ex-
penses connected with the convention,
such as printing, postage, etc. When the
subject was first preached, the business
men of Asbury Park and Ocean Grove
said they would contribute $1,000 If the
hotel and clearinghouse keepers of
the two cities would make up the re-
mainder of the amount supposed to be
needed. =
The hotel keepers have held two meet
ings, the latest one was on Monday
evening, when it was reported that $2,4O0
had been pledged by Asbury Park, and
the hotels yet to be heard from. The
meeting then adjourned until Thursday
evening.
Some of the smaller hotel and board
ing house keepers are backward about
subscribing because they say they are
not certain that they will be there next
year. Others say if the great crowd
comes that is expected they will be
benefited anyhow whether they sub
scribe or not. There is no doubt that
the amount spoken of will be raised,
but whether the convention will be Sc
cured or not is another consideration.

PRAYERFUL BRIDGET KELLY.


Bridget Kelly, who claims to be a
housekeeper having a home in New
York, won for herself yesterday after
noon in a few short minutes, the I'M
enviable reputation OF being the most
profane woman who ever struck Jersey
City. Her command of profanity caused
Policeman McMahon's hair to stand on
ends. She can give swearing Farmer
Van Blarcom of Hackensack, points, with
out taking a breath. She was swearing
like a Trojan to the amusement of about
u hundred children yesterday afternoon,
when Policeman Mcmahon grabbed her,
summoned a patrol wagon and had her
removed to the station house; When
ing, her profanity was replaced by pray
ers and appeals. She prayed with about
the same rapidity as she swore the af-
ternoon preceding. Justice Potts gave
her the option of paying a fine of S., or
going to Snake Hill for thirty days.

HARRY SMITH ACQUITTED. !
Justice Potts Decides That He Did
Not mrnaun Ynnnn 0,CrnWIeY.

MOI UTOtRH9 OlR@ V>&TO ~
Henry Smith. formerly a bellboy in
the Hotel Washington, but now employed
on the Standard oil ~Company's docks
in Brooklyn, was a prisoner last night
in the First Criminal Court in this city
charged with -manslaughter. He was ac-
cused of drowning John j. O'Crowley,
a boy about fourteen years of age, In the
Morris Canal basin N August %, 1888:
The Hudson County Grand Jury had
a few months g investigated the facts,
and would not find a bill against little
Smith, but the father Of the drowned
boy persistently pursued Smith. and,
hearing that he was in Brooklyn, had
tradition to Jersey City. Smith is an
orphan, but by good behavior, not only
as a bellboy, but in the employ of the
Oil Company, enlisted the sympathies
of the Superintendent of that Big con-
Germ, and Mr.. Frederick D. Linn, pro-
prietor of the Hotel Washington.
Mr.. Linn, actuated by humane mo-
tives, as well as from a sense of JUS
tice to the boy, procured counsel for him
and assisted him in every way.
AT the examination yesterday afternoon
Mr.. James S. Erwin represented the par
ents of the dead boy, n Mr.. w. H.
Speer young Smith.
Mr.. ]. O'Crowley, the father, who re-
sides on Hudson street, told the circum-
stances of the boys death. He was not
present, however. at the accident, but
saw his boys body brought to the sur
face.
John Harvey, a young man who was
working within a few yards of the spot
where Smith. O'Crowley and four other
youngsters were sporting in the muddy
canal, heard the cry that someone was
drowned. He dived for the body, and
after much trouble pulled it out of the
mud. He did not see anyone push
O'Crowley. Then -four small boys-James
Barr, Thomas Gaffney. John Quirk and
Andrew Wieckers-testiied Three of the
youngest of the four said that Smith
pushed O'Crowley into the deep water
twice, while Wieckers, the eldest, said
that Smith was near him. and tried his
best TO a " O'Crowley, who was at
tempting to drag MIN and Smith under
the water. 1t was apparent to the Court
that some of the small witnesses were
straining the facts. and Justice Potts
subjected each to a rigorous eXamina-
ton, e~liciting the general fact that they
were all ducking each other in fun, and
that Smith tried to save O'CroWley, who
had gotten ont of his depth.
Counsel having summed up, the Court
dismissed the complaint because Smith
was not the cause of young O'Crowley's
death. 1t was purely accidental.
Henry Smith will be brought up on
September 8 at the Adams Street Police
Court, bnt will be discharged when the
decision of Justice Potts is made known
there.

rum selling were permitted. He was
arraigned before Justice Borden and
