WARETOWN, Aug. 90, 1S94.-A large
black bottle came ashore at this place
last night and was found to contain a
unique message. A strong odor of bad
whiskey emanated from the bottle. The
writing was evidently that of an ex-
tremely. unsteady hand and covered both
sides of a tattered piece of brown paper.
1t is not known how long it took for the
pathetic communication to reach the
shore of Barnegat Bay, as no date was
apparent. When the scribble was de-
ciphered, it was found to be dedicated
to Dear Parker and to read
at is SO dark here that I cannot see
to write. l was out with a party blue
fishing near Montauk Point. I got ex-
cited and fell overheard, and one of these
beastly big bluefish we catch here swal-
lowed me. l felt around in the dark and
found this piece of brown paper, pretty
wet to write on, and no table but the
floor of a stomach to lay the paper on.
l was eaten up in longitude II deg. 40
min, and latitude 40 deg. so min. It is
awfully Shiny and disagreeable here.
Talk about hard times!
Say good-by to the people of the good
old tabernacle. l do not eve expect to
see them again. Ask them, however, to
pray for me that l may be spewed out
about September 2, on the Jersey coast.
If I ever get back again my first sermon
will b con Jonah in the belly of the
whale"
Good-by. I am living on live blueish.
Have eaten quite a hole in him.
SCUDDER.
Across one corner of the tattered man
useript is written this Injunction
Publish as soon as found in all New
Jersey papers.
JOHN S. SCUDDER.
AS this purports to be a message from
Pastor Seudder of the Jersey City Tab
ernacle, his many friends will join in
earnestly desiring for him a speedy and
a happy outcome.

WARNING TO BICYCLE RIDERS.

The Editor of "The Jersey City News
Accidents resulting from reckless rid
Ing, particularly after dark, and without
the lighted lantern required by law,
are of everyday occurrence. Bicycle rid
ers apparently a no regard for the
rights of pedestrians, who have the right
of way at all times. Riders have no
right to ring when a man, woman or
child is crossing their path, but should
slack W or stop altogether until the
pedestrian has crossed the street. Num-
erous riders are on the Boulevard nightly
without lanterns, and it was only last
evening that a rider met with an acct
dent.
He had no light so that other riders
could see him, and he ran into me from
behind, as / was turning into the road.
He fell, broke his pedle axle, injured my
wheel and might have been seriously
hurt.
Hereafter shall arrest every man,
woman or child riding a bicycle whom
/ detect without a lighted lantern at
tached to tn e~irwheels. To ride without
a light may result seriously, not only to
the offender, but to other riders.

POLICE MONEY SHORT.
Some Ones Eslunder Embarrasses
the OmmissiOner&

The Police Commissioners, at a special
meeting held yesterday afternoon, adopt
ed a resolution making it an offence for
any member of the department to sell
his salary warrant in advance, unless
he is to employ the money in the pur-
chase of a new uniform or by special
permission from the Inspector. The reso-
luton, it is said upon the best of au-
thority, will not have the slightest eff
feet. 1t is a notorious fact that a GER
tain tailor on Newark avenue, who fur
nishes a majority of the uniforms, is
also one of the largest note shavers in
the city. He has become rich in the bust
ness, and the resolution passed yester-
day will have a tendency not to encour-
age the selling Of time, but will give
the tailor in question almost a monopoly
of the despicable business.
WILL RECONSIDER.
1t is highly probable that the Police
Commissioners will reconsider their ac-
ton at the next meeting in justice to
the men. If City Clerk Scott would per-
NIT it, it would prove interesting to the
Police Commissioners to examine the
monthly warrant books and note how
many times a certain tailor's name APP
pears on the stubs with a power of at
torney.
The board asked the Finance Board
for an increase of the salary a~ppropria-
ton Tor the current year. Tnefe is a
deficiency in the account, and how it oc-
Cured is mystifying the Commissioners.
There are 220 patrolmen on the force,
and provision has been mad for the pay
ment of only 212. There are 81 sergeants
and salaries for only 80 have been ap-
p~ropriated. There are II roundsmen,
and only 10 have been provided for.
WILL RECTIFYFTHE MISTAKE.
The Board of Finance will probably
reetify the mistake at its next meet
ing. su4a* a
Sergeant McGinness. who is acting
captain of the First precinct, was de-
tailed to do duty as court officer in
the First Criminal Court after Septem-
Der l. He succeeds Detective bob"
Pearson, who has done excellent service
there for a number of years. Patrol
Driver William Dawson was returned
to post duty in the First precinct, and
William K. Wolverton appointed patrol
wagon driver in his place.
DR.. Everett, acting in the capacity of
City Physician, had IA cases and made
81 visits during the past month. DR..
Henry had "a making "a visits. DR..
Hoffman had 26 cases, making Sc visits.
Health Inspector Benjamin reported
299 nuisances complained of and pa abat-
ed. During the past month 4 cases of
diphtheria, Q of scarlet fever, Is of
typhoid, l smallpox, 2 membraneous
Group, and 2 of measles were reported.
The monthly payroll was passed, so
that the men will have their money for
Labor Day.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 50. 1ss4.-The
Government printing office force today is
about 500 less than it was yesterday
owing TO the discharge ordered by Public
Printer Benedict. The reduction, it is
stated, was made necessary by the adj
%Journment of Congress s, and the conse-
quent decrease of work in the record
room, where the proceedings were put
in type. About 200 printers are affected
by the order, the others being boolSbind-
ers, folders, pressmen and other en-
ployes naturally affected by the suspen-
sion of the Congressional Record.
George A. Tracy, president of the
Typographical Union, has been appointed
foreman of the Congressional Record,
succeeding w. H. Hickman.

A FIENDISH PRIEST.
Able .Bruneau Expiates His
Crime by the Guillotine.

LAVAL, France, Aug. 80, 1S94-Abbe
Bruneau, formerly vicar of the church
at Entrances, who on July 10 was con-
victed CT murder, robbery and arson,
was put to death by the guillotine at
five o'clock this morning in the presence
of eight thousand persons. NJ. Domin-
ique, the condemned priests legal adj
wiser, arrived here from Paris last even
ing after an unsuccessful attempt to se-
cure a reprieve for the condemned man
from President Casimir-Perier with
whom the advocate had a personal in
terview. Almost as soon as NJ. Domin-
ique had announced to his client the ILL
success of his mission to Paris, it be-
came known throughout the town tina
the execution won take place this
morning, and the inhabitants and he
p%easantry, who had gathered from miles
around, began to move towards the
Place du Palais de Justice. At $3.50 PM.
there were several hundred persons as
sembled and by midnight the crowd had
increased to 1000.
The presence of a strong force of
troops and gendarnes had kept the
crowd moderately orderly, but as the
gathering continued to swell in numbers
they became noisy, and at 2:30 o'clock
this morning the disorder was SO great
that the soldiers were obliged to resort
to reDressive measures. All of the win
dows overlooking the Place were lighteI
up and crowded with i~n-lookers.
THE GUILLOTINE.
=. AT 2:45 AN. the assistants of NJ. Deib-
Ter, the official executioner, erected the
guillotine. In the meantime the CON
demned priest had been closeted In his
he'll with the prison chaplain, Able
Foubert, and had thrown himself upon
his bed for the brief rest which was al
lowed him. He was aroused about 3
O'Clock, when mass was celebrated by
the chaplain, and the condemned man
received his last communion. Bruneau
then wrote a two-page letter declaring
his innocence of the crimes of which he
had been convicted. AT the conclusion
of the letter the governor of the prison
arrived and told the prisoner to prepare
for death. Bruneau. Who for a short
time had been somewhat agitated. inn
m~ediately became calm. He impIored
and the forgiveness of the clergy for
the pain his irregular life had caused
them.
The march to the guillotine was then
taken uD. Bruneau walked with a firm
step n with his head erect. Arriving
at the scaffold he was at once seized by
the executioner's assistants, who quick
" and quietly placed his neck nde the
knife.
THE KNIFE FALLS.
1T five o'clock the knife fell. and as
the head of the murderer rolled into the
basket a cheer went up from 5000
threats, and the great crowd dispersed
without disorder.
