FURNISHING THE SCHOOLS.
Hoboken,s school Board Awards
Contracts.

AT the regular semi-monthly meeting of
the Hoboken Board of Education held last
night, several contracts were awarded for
the furnishing of supplies and the repairing
of the several schools.
Miss E. A. Allen was granted a leave of
absence Tor the month of September without
nav. John Kamena & Co. were awarded
the contract for the supplying OF coal and
wood. He was the only bidder. DR.. Nicol
asked President Russ how it was that there
were no other bids received. but the Presi-
dent said he could not answer the question
as he had advertised for the supplies i'll both
local papers. It was the same with all the
others, only one and two firms bidding on
each proposal.
G. M. Sinclair bid So, $50 for the supplying
of No. 2 school with steam heating and was
awarded the contract. Trustee Heating
objected to this on the ground that it SHOULD
have been referred to the Repair Committee
instead of the School Building and Furniture
COMMITTEES, and introduced a motion to set
aside the contract. His motion was lost as
was also Trustee Cannon's who opposed the
work being lone as the boilers had to be
placed under class rooms,
The connection of all the schools by tele-
phone to No. l school wa awarded to the
N. Y. and N. J. Telephone Co. who agreed
to do the work for $325.
The payroll for July amounted to $S,659.07.

MINKAKWAs AND THE WATER.

The Minkakwa Club held a well attended
meeting last evening at the Ocean avenue
club rooms, and the trouble with the County
League of Republican Clubs was fully dis
cussed. The braves concluded to remaiIl IN
harmony with the county organization, and
appointed W. G.. Dunn, C. Ramnurst and
Isaac G~oldenhorn as the regular representa-
tives to the league.
The water question was also discussed, and
Assessment Commissioner Michael Schultz,
Jr., said that while the water was very bad
it could be vastly improved by blowing off
of fire hydrants at regular intervals, thus
cleaning the pipes. Messrs. T.IWegman, c. P.
Boos, William H. Armstrong and Adam
Reid were appointed a committee to visit the
Street and Water Board and urge upon the
commissioners the necessity Of securing a
new supply.
The Entertainment Committee reported
that the recent outing to Buffalo Bills Wild
West was sucn a success that it had decided
to hold another outing next meeting. The
committee which was appointed to consider
the ACCESSIBILITY of erecting a clubhouse re-
ported progress.

PENALTY OF LEAVING HIS SHIP.

WASHINGTON, July 81, 1894,-The court
martial which tried Passed Assistant En-
gineer Henry T. Cleaver, of the Raleigh for
leaving the ship without permission and
staying away mine days, sentenced him upon
his plea of guilty to be suspended for n
year on furlough pay, to retain his present
number during such suspension with the
conflicting provision that he should not lose
more than four numbers.
Acting Secretary McAdoo returned the
finding to the court, suggesting in effect that
the court would rave to specify whether the
suspension be by the neck or whether only
his rank and duty be suspended. He also
declined to approve the finding while it con
tanned the Inconsistency regarding the num-
beers to be lost and called attention to the
fact that the punishment was extremely mild
compared with what was inflicted upon en-
listed men for similar o~ffenses. The court
modified the sentence to suspension from
rank and duty for a year on furlough pay,
which is half that of waiting orders II pro-
vided that Engineer Cleaver should retain his
present number for a year. in which time at
least eight men will pass him by promotions.

Strong Man Sampson at EIdor

Strong Man Sampson at Eldorado
C. A. Sampson, ''the strongest man on
earth,' made his first appearance at Edo
RADIO last night, He broke a twenty-five
cent piece in two with ease, and raised a
Compound dumbbell over his head with both
hands. then he let 1t fall slowly until it had
dropped behind his head on his shoulders.
He again raised it and brought it down in
front OF him to the floor. He then pulled a
chain capable of sustaining a weight of
5000 pounds, he did not twist the links, but
gave one strong pull.
Sampson next placed bracelets of heavy
iron links around his biceps. and by simply
expanding his muscles broke them in two.
He finished bis excellent performance by
supporting an enormous working model of
the "World's Fair" Ferris wheel on his
chest. 1t measured Sc feet in circumference,
10 feet in diameter and weighs 1000 pounds.
There are twenty coaches in this wheel which
contain 800 steel spokes, and it is brilliantly
illuminated with electric lights. When the
wheel is balanced on SIMPSONS chest, the
motor is started and the wheel r~eyolyeS with
a IL the light burning brightly.

ZALINsKI GUN A FAILURE.

At Least the Fesuvius rs TO BE Com
verified Into A Torpedo Cruiser.
WASHINGTON, July 81, 1S94,-Secretary
Herbert has been prompt to follow out one
provision of the Naval Appropriation act
which became a law several days ago, by
issuing orders to the Board of Bureau chiefs
which includes Chief Constructor Hickborne,
Engineer Melville, Coinmodores. Matthews,
Sampson and Chadwick, to enter at once
into the consideration of the possibility of
transforming the dynamite gun cruiser
Vesuvius into a torpedo cruiser of the first
class. The board will determine whether it
will add to the efficiency Of the vessel for
naval purposes and report upon the advi-
stability and cost of making the necessary
changes.
The Vesavius was commissioned June Z,
1890, and although every effort has been
made to utilize her pneumatic gums during
the past four years, she has not been a sue
cess. The possible practicability of these
guns has yet to be demonstrated on land,
but on a floating gun carriage, which is
what the Vesuvius amounts to. these wea-
pons are comparatively useless. The Vesu-
vius has a speed of 2215 knots per hour and
cost S350 000

tions, new standards of life to which
the industrial conditions have not
adapted themselves. This is n cause
of the trouble. In this country over
immigration and the alarming aban-
doninent of the land by native born
men and women are other c%ontribut-
ing factors. There is over competition
for employment in crowded centres,
while some forms of agricultural pro-
duction are neglected.
These things will all adjust them
selves in time. We do not expect
ever to see a dead calm in the world;
but we do not expect TO see the social
bark always laboring under a heavy
gale against a cross sea.

Defeat In Michigan.


GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, July 81, 1884,
Mayor Pingree of Detroit will run on a
''bolt'' ticket for Governor. That was de-
cided upon at an early hour this morning
and was announced to the public by those in.
charge of the .Pingree headquarters here.
Mayor Pingree is not to be found, but Alder
men Beck and Ruhrer, his close political
friends, corroborate the statement. They
say that a bolt has been definitely decided
Upon.
There will be no Pingree head tothe regular
Republican ticket, but a straight Pingree
ticket with possibly one OF two candidates
who may happen to be on the regular ticket;
but it will be made sure that whoever gets
on the ticket will be a firm supporter Of
Mayor Pingree.
The presence here of leading Democratic
politicians of the state has given rise to the
rumor that a conference is to be held with
the intention of having Fisher resign from
the Democratic ticket in favor of Pingree.
Tim hester says there is some talk of a com
bination and admitted that he bad been
called here in that connection. The Pingree
headquarters nave been closed all morning
and most OF the Wayne County delegation
will leave for home at noon, declaring that
this is none of their convention Il that it
therefore useless for them to remain here.

be one and sometimes the other. The
Senators have been denounced by it
with all the virulence they deserve

dubbed heshameful compromise and

But now the House Conference
