Of the bridge over the Newark and New

1t is ~ feet long and has q clearance over
the canal of Is feet. The three main Orders
weigh Is tons each. The deck of this bridge
is also to be of arched steel buckle plates
covered with asphalt pavement, and will
have a roadway 40 feet wide and two side
walks 10 feet wide each.
Bad as the action of the Lehigh Company
was in respect to this bridge, it did not com
pare with its piratical act of tearing down
the old wooden bridge, one hundred yards
east, on the line Of the Jersey City and
Bergen Point turnpike. The Hudson Con-
tracing Company has a quarry on the north
side of the canal and a stone crusher on the
south side. The bridge was almost indis-
pensable to the contractors. The Lehigh
Valley people knew this and In a despicable
spirit of retaliation, because it was not al
lowed to steal Chapel avenue from the city,
it ordered that the bridge be torn down.
The company, however, overreached itself,
for a bridge once built for county purposes.
becomes the property of the county, even if
built by private parties. This bridge was
built long before the Morris Canal ever
passed beneath it. Legal measures will be
commenced soon to force the Lehigh Valley
Company to build u new bridge and it is
probable that the Grand Jury will be asked
to take action regarding the outrage. The
tearing down of the old bridge has put the
Hudson Contracting Company to u loss of
not less than 81, 500, SO Contractor Refill in
formed me. He will apply to the courts for
damages.
Continuing my journey. l observed that
the Hudson Contracting Company was make
ing. great preparations to pave from the
Kills TO Fifty-seventh street. At the lower
end OF the Boulevard they have progressed
so far that they have laid the screenings and
arc rolling them to a finish, and Telford is laid
more than half the distance to Fifty-seventh
street. The work. so far as / could judge,
is of excellent quality, and the contractors
say they will have their section of the
Boulevard completed by January l.
This fall the Freeholders will cause trees
TO be planted along the Boulevard from one
end to the other. Several enterprising
property owners have, at their own expense,
already planted some trees which are grow
ing finely.
The work of paving the Boulevard has
already be3n commenced at Union Hill, and
the contractors are pushing it as rapidly as
possible. The Boulevard is now a fact, and
in a few short months the people of this
county will receive its full benefits.

A HUNDRED LASHBS.
How a Pretty Hoboken Wife
Punished a Youth for In
sulting Her.

For a week past Mrs. Louisa Lowenthal
an extremely pretty blonde, living at No
352 Newark street, Hoboken, has been an
noyed by a silly young man named Peter
Eichorne of No. SO Clinton street. Yester-
day morning the young lady, who is of fin
physique, borrowed a long horsewhip and
administered a lashing the youth will prob
ably remember for weeks. He is at home
nursing the black and blue spots Mrs.
L%owenthal's whip is responsible for.
Peter is about twenty-one years old, and
works mostly when he is inclined. During
the past week the inclination was not mani
fest, and Peter sat in the rear window OF
his fathers home and gazed through the
window of Mrs. L%owenthal's apartments.
The houses run at right angles. and it is an
doings of the other through the
rear windows. Mrs. Lowenthal re-
lated the conduct of Peter to
her husband. The latter is al agent en-
ployed on the Erie Railroad, and returns to
his home about six o'clock evenings. Mr..
Lowenthal sat by the window yesterday
morning and noticed Peter behaving in an
Peter made that a daily practice, always
taking care that she was at the window.
BETTER TIA A BULLE
''I1l soon stop that" roared Lowenthal,
grasping a rifle.
mo, don't shoot him; I'll do something
better" she said.
She crossed the street and asked for a
strong whip at Grimm's livery stables op
posite her home. Peter had seen Lowenthal
at the window and, becoming frightened,
started to leave the house. He reached the
front stoop just as the irate woman did.
You will, hey!" she screeched and
bounded up the stoop with astonishing
a~lacrity and grasped the thoroughly alarmed
Peter. He attempted to stammer out ex-
cuses, but his explanations we're translated
to bowls by a series Of sharp cuts delivered
by Mrs. Lowenthal. The neighborhood was
aroused and neighbors poked their heads
out of the windows to observe the circus.
LONG RAW OUT.
The application of the whip continued. Mr..
Lowenthal came running up. LET him
have It'll" he yelled, fiercely.
II ann answered Mrs. Lowenthal, be-
tween whacks. Poor Peter was on his
knees imploring for mercy, but got nothing
but more cuts. When a hundred had been
given Mrs. owenthal stopped, and warning
the youth to cease his actions, she and her
husband went home. Ia "a
Peter went to bed and the inclination to
work hasn't found him since.
Mrs. Lowenthal was seen by a reporter of
THE JERSEY CITY News this morning, and
she snid she would cause Peters arrest if he
annoyed her any more.
"But | guess he won't" she said, recellect-
ing the dose she prescribed.
Peter was ''too much cut up" over the
affair to be communicative and wouldn't say
anything to the reporter.
