already flied up with specimens secured
from time to time by the State Geologist,
much of which was on exhibition in the
New Orleans Expositions, the ex-
hibits secured for Chicago being
entirely independent of this col
lection. The State Superintendent Of
Public Instruction is quite desirous Of plac-
ing on display the exhibition made by the
school children. It was one of the particular
exhibits at the Exposition and received much
praise. Nearly every school district in the
State is represented, and the work of the
industrial schools is unusually fine. 1t would
take a large sized room to place this exhibit
before the people. The State Superintendent
would be satisfied to secure a large room
where it could find permanent quarters, but
the other departments think that they are
entitled to a share of any appropriation that
might be made, SO they proposed to join
forces and ask the Legislature for enough
money to erect a building where all these
exhibits could be arranged to an advantage
and others secured. It would take about
$24, 900. Senator Bradley, Senator Stokes
and Senator Sklrm nave all been approached
on the subject and see the necessity of the
building.

JUMPED INTO THE RESERVOIR.
Repented as He Touched
the Water.

the Water.
While in a respondent mood from want of
employment, Morris Freeman, thirSy-four
years old, of No. 50 Willow street, Brook
lyn. attempted suicide yesterday morning
at half past ten A. NJ, by jumping into the
reservoir at High Service. Roundsman
Casey of the Third precinct police saw him
plunge into the water, and Immediately noti-
ged Engineer of the Works Daniel Carpen-
tep, who secured a rope, and with Casey's
assistance, rescued Freeman, who was only
too willing to accept the assistance.
Freeman says that as soon as he
struck the water he repented, and
uttered a prayer of thanks when he saw
the rope thrown him. When asked why he
attempted to take his life he said it was be-
cause he was out of employment and had no
money. The water looked so calm and
peaceful he thought beneath it he could find
a place for his sorrowful soul. Asked why
he selected Jersey City's reservoir to end his
life, and not the river, Freeman said the act
was not p~remeditated. While walking along
Summit avenue he saw the water, and the
temptation came upon him suddenly. With
out thinking for one moment he climbed the
wall and plunged in.
He was sent to the City Hospital in the
patrol wagon. Were he was put to bed while
his clothes were being dried.

PAyONIA AND VALENCIA BoWLERS
Had a Merry Meeting on Saturday
Night--Football, Handball
and Oar Notes.

The G~reenville Rifle Club shot its first
outdoor match of the season on Saturday
afternoon at the Greenville Schuetzen Park
with the team of the Paterson Rife Asso-
citation. The celeryville marksmen were in
fine form and defeated their opponents by
26S points. After the match the visitors
were entertained at a supper at the park.
"Mein host" Armbruster prepared an ex-
cellent feast to which the visitors and the
v~anquished did ample justice. As soon as
tbs last course was hidden by the hungry
marksmen the visitors were escorted to the
club house on Gator avenue, where one OF
those entertainments for which the club Is
famous was inaugurated. The tables in the
supper room were loaded with all that goes
toward satisfying the inner man and enough
liquid refreshments to satisfy an army.
The entertainment was opened by the
Manhattan Quartette of New York, the
members of which are:-Messrs. Alfred
Campbell, first tenor; ]. Stamford,
second tenor; Joseph J. Reilly, first
bass; and Walter Snow, second bass. The
ouartette is well trained, n its selections
were rendered in a f~aultless manner. The

Mr.. Fred Reuter- prayed banjo solos, and
Jimmy Dodds gave a clever imitation
of a cornet solo, with a length of
gas pipe. J. c. Dalton, better
known as the blind storyteller of
Dublin kept the jolly marksmen in a con-
tinued roar of laughter with his funny stories
and droll sayings. Robert Bishop sang a
number of tenor solos in a pleasing manner,
and Mr.. E. Barr sang bass solos. 1t was
long after midnight before the festivities
came to a close, and when the Paterson
marksmen left for home they declared the
Greenville boys TO be excellent entertainers,
The Manhansett Quartette remained in
Greenville, over night, at the residence of

Colly awoke at noon yesterday he found his
shoes and shaving mirror tied to branch of

ooLoRED LADIES FOUGHT.

Miss Ward Winked at Miss Battles
Young MAN.
Until this morning it was thought that
there was only one fight at the colored ball
given by the Strangers Social Club at
Woods Hall last Thursday night. Amos
Holmes was stabbed in the face by Alice
Brown. Holmes is in the City Hospital,
while his assailant is out on bail in the sum
of $500. This morning Nellie Battles of Nc.
4Ss Second street was a prisoner in Justice
ODonnell's court, charged with assault upon
Mamie Ward of No. 257 Grand street. Nellie
was at the colored ball with her ''man,"
Samuel Whitehead. Whitehead happened
to stop and talk for a few minutes with Miss
Ward. The jealous disposition of Miss Bat
ties asserted itself. She rushed at Miss
Ward, and dealt her an upper cut. The
blow felled Miss Ward. Regaining her feet
she sailed into her assailant. Miss Battles
had everything her own way from the first
round, and foored Miss Ward a second time.
The women were separated, but it required
great vigilance to keep them apart. Miss
Ward, being unable to get square with Miss
Battles, caused her arrest. Justice O'Don-
nell held her this morning in 5000 bail.
