WANTS HIS JBwELRY BACK.

Macmillan Negbaur, who says he lives in
Newark. made application before United
States COMMISSIONS Isaac s. Romano yes
terday afternoon to recover from the Fed
eral Government a valuable diamond brooch
and an equally costly pair of diamond ear
rings, which Uncle Sam took from him n
confiscated last summer Mr.. Negbaur told
the Commissioner that when he returned
from Europe last year he had in his pockets
the jewelry, which belonged to his wife. On
his arrival at the dock the Custom House
officers in the usual way asked him if he had
anything dutiable, and he, believing the
brooch and earrings to be wearing apparel,
replied no. They searched him and found
the articles before mentioned. His claim for
the return of the goods was based on the
fact that goods included as personal proper
ty or wearing apparel are not subject to
duty. He is anxious to recover the articles,
even if he has to pay duty upon them; but
contends that they should be returned to hin
without any impost whatever.
Commissioner Romano, while recognizing
the Justice of the claim, declined to make
any decision, but took testimony on the mat
ter which he will refer to the Secretary Of
the Treasury at Washington.

He Says He Held Thefr Child Under
a Georgia Courts Decree. E.
Henry A. Keppel, who is confined in the
County Jail on a writ of NE exeat, at the suit
OF his wife, who charges him with having
spirited away their child, was seen by a re-
porter for THE JERSEY CITY NEWS today
Keppel said he desired to correct some error
that appeared in an article in The NEWT on
August IA, concerning his domestic troubles
and acquaintance with the divorce courts.
He denied that he had spirited away his
daughter, and declared that the custody Of
the child was awarded to him by the
Superior Court in Georgia by an absolute
Judgment. Keppel further denied that he
brought suit for divorce against his wife in
Georgia, but said that she sued him for di-
vorce, and the Court decided against her and
in his favor. 1t was then that the Court
awarded him the custody of the child.
Keppel also denied that he had had been
connected with the firm Of P. F.. Collier q
Co. publishers in New York, since May,
1888, or that he had since then ever claimed
to be connected with the firm. He further
added that he had never claimed that he was
a manager IN Brooklyn for the firm.
Keppels case will come up before the
Chancellor under habeas corpus proceedings
ON September 4. This was all Mr.. Keppel
would say about his troubles

DEAF MUTE SCHOOL,
To Have a New Building and
be Materially I'M
proved.
sn,cfo1 to the Jerseu Cav Ne,cs.

TRENTON. Aug. II, 1S94.-A number OF
Trenton builders are busy figuring on espi-
mates tor the construction of a large new
building at the State Deaf Mite School, for
which sealed proposals have been solicited
by William r. Barricklo, j. b. Woodward
and n. NJ. Butler, the Building Committee
of the State Board of Education. The FRO
posed structure will largely increase the
facilities of the institution to instruct us
pauils in the useful branches aud trades.
The accommodations for teaching the use
Jul arts are very cramped at present,
while the room occupied by them in the
main building is needed for other school
purposes.
The plans for the building are by Architect
H. e. Finch, and are for a plain but neat
stone and brick building, two stores nign,
with a basement. 1t is to be built agalasb
the rear of the boiler house, ~ feet ana y
inches wide and running back toward Kent
street SO feet. The boiler house IS some
distance in the rerr Of the main bulld1ng
which faces Hamilton avenue.
FIRST PLANS.
The first story is to have entrances at each
end with stairways to the second floor. A
long hall is to run the length of the building
in the centre. On the westerly side OF the
hall is to be located the printing office, con-
sisting of q press room and a conlpositors
room. which will be fitted out with all the
requirements of a first.class office. Girls
and BOYS composition rooms are to take up
the rest of the side.
On the easterly side are to be located the
carpenter shop and lumber rooms. One room
is vet u~nproyided with any use, but 1t Will
undoubtedly soon be found handy for some
school purpose.
The second floor has the same arrange
ment of halls as the first. On the westerly
side of the main hall will be situated the
shoe factory and a drawing room, different
rooms will be assigned for the different de-
rsartments Of ~shoemaking. On the other
side will be located the ~dressmaking depart
ment, divided into cutting, fitting and sew
ing rooms, and a room in which Will pe
placed knitting machines for knitting stock
ings.
BOILER HOUSE,
The boiler house will be somewhat altered,
a stairway coming out and the second floor
being filed for the tailor department with
cutting and pressing rooms. The first door
will be continued in use as a laundry and the
basement as a boiler house.
In the end of the new basement next to IT
will be situated the coal cellar, and the rest
of the basement will be devoted to gym
nasium purposes. A very large gymnasium
and play room is thus secured. Tine building
will be steam heated. ~
A flag staff will surmount the structure.
A flag staff is also to be run up over the
main entrance of the school building. Bids
for the construction Of building are to be
received and opened at Architect Finch's
office. at three O'clock next Tuesday.

festival progresses. the attendance increases
and last evening the tent was damned, loco
motion being almost impossible. The ice

business and the young men who presld ed
over the temperance bar were kept busy
dispensing soda water, ,sarsaparlia and
cigars. ~ 8 -
placed in the tent and both OF the wheels
were freely patronized, netting a snug sum
for the church. The dancing platform was
crowded at every dance and despite the ex-
treme heat the young people promoted with
evident pleasure, paying five cents for each
dance. Fathers Dornin and Clancy were
ubiquitous and every one was greeted with a
smile and a pleasant word by the priests.

the Rev. j.. Lester Wells of the Taeer-

tine Kew ). Lester WeiiS oi the A@1s
nacle said
The street used to be a comparatively
safe place for children to play. 1t IS not
now. l trust the time will soon come
when every house, and especially the ten
ement and apartment houses. Will nave
roof gardens and Fairgrounds high up
in the pure air, where our dear ones may
nave a chance for healthy recreation ana
childish sport, instead of seeking II IN
the dangerous, hot, dirty and sometimes
~garbage-lined streets.
MIR. Wells here expresses an urgent
need of this and all other big cities, but
we cannot help thinking his remedy a
triae fanciful. Roof gardens for the
children are possibilities of the future.
Indeed, st. Joseph's Orphanage Asylum
on York street has one in full operation.
But it will be a very distant day before
they are general.
But THE Jersey City News" some
weeks ago drew attention to the manner
in which Philadelphia is solving the prob
lem by throwing open the school yards
to the children. This is the solution or
the playground question, and not |
might the public schools do it, but the
paroehial ones as we'll. 1t would be a
great boon to the little ones if st. Peters
school yard were thrown open to them
daily from 9 to 6. 1t costs next to moth
ing and does incalculable good.
