FARMER DUNN'S EXPLANATION.

A zephyr from the wild and woolly Wes'
came stealing over this city last night bring
ing along with it snow and rain.
The wind blew as if it ''would have blown
its last, and tore along at speed of nearly
twenty five miles an hour, ripping and roar
ing as if fresh from Eolus' Bay. 1t ratified
the shutters, bent the tops of stately trees
and hurled itself against the sharp corners
of the houses, groaning all the while as if in
pain; it smote barns and small outhouses,
littering the yards with planks and shingles,
and played the very dickens with the or
chards and gardens. It swept over the two
bays, piling up the waves to the destruction
of the bathing tents and beached boats, and
in few hours provided repairing work
for the next month at least,
and to cap all, it gave the numerous en-
ployes at our ferries no small uneasiness
when they found that the waves of the Hud-
son river rose higher last night and this
morning than at any period during the past
ten years.
The rough weather on the river did not
affect the ferryboat service much, and as the
trains were running on time, passengers from
New York were not delayed In the least.
But the streets caught it. Oh what a con-
dition the rain and snow left our thorough
fares inl 1t didn't matter whether the street
was paved or not. Thin layers of slush and
mud were buried under inches of water,
through which the citizens plunged to their
daily toll
And the worst feature about the storm is
that it has come to stay at least for today,
when our local weather prophet declares it
Will give place to warmer weather.

W0HtN's DECEPTION.
Hoboken Grocer Discovers He
Is Not a Father Thought
He Was.

An Unsuitable craving for beer cultivated
by Mrs. Mathllda Ammermann has caused
her husband to cause articles of separation
to be drawn up between them, and unless
Mathilda renounces her drinking and is con-
tent to stay at home nights, nevsrmore may
she spend her days under the roof of the
home her husband has provided at No. 107
Fourteenth street, Hobbken. Mathilda mar
ried Fred w. Ammermann almost three
years ago. They had been keeping company
for some months, and Fred had been per-
mitted to indulge in improper familiarties.
Mathilda is stout, German woman, and is
a widow. She had made desperate attempts
to induce Fred to marry her, but he said he
not financially fixed so that he could. On
the seventh day of March, two years ago,
after they had been together for over eight
months, and still unmarried, Fred had oc-
casion to go to New York.
AN UNEXPECTED sERENADE
When he returned he was greeted with the
squalling of an infant. This serenade sur
prised him, but Mathilda convinced HIM that
the child was his. As Fred says, he never
doubted, and the supposed daughter was
adopted as Anna Mathilda Ammermann
Fred then married the woman. She was not
at all slow in getting hold of his money. and
soon began squandering it on liquor. Then
she stayed out after dark, and then all night
Fred expostulated, but little good it availed
About six months ago Fred launched into
the grocery business, with store at his
present address He fitted up living apart
ments back of the store, and his wife prom
ised to reform and help attend customers
She did for about two weeks, and then re-
sumed her old tactics. Fred was exasper-
ated and told his wife that if she would not
cease drinking and annoying him with her
drunken antics he would leave her. She
only became worse than ever. When she
was too drunk to navigate she renamed over
night with friend on Bloomfield street.
DECEPTION PRACTICED.
Three weeks ago Fred became aware that
the babe who had been christened as his
child was not his own. but had been fur
nished through doctor in New York named
Mrs Karch of Seventy-second street. Mrs
Kohlmeyer of Madison street acknowledged
that she was instrumental In having the de-
ception practiced, and that Mathilda had
consented that Fred might be madeto marry
her. His feelings might best be imagined.
OF course Mathilda denied it, but the evi-
dence was too positive.
She sobbed, and worked herself upon
Fred's sympathies to such degree that he
promised to overlook it if she stopped drink
ing. But that very night Mathilda was
drunken than ever, says Fred. Implore as
he would, she continued to drink. Last
Saturday night she chased the customers
from the store That was the climax. Fred
yesterday called upon Justice Seymour and
caused separation papers to be issued. When
seen today zimmerman said:-"I will let
my wife come back if she will behave, but if
she will presist in drinking I cannot live
with her shall keep the Child"

AsBuRY PARK, April II, 1S94.-When the
early morning life-saving crew went out
from Manasquan at eight o'clock they saw
through the storm the dim outline of a
large ship on the beach. She appeared to
lay partly over on her side. The waves
were pounding against her, throwing
cataracts of spray and mist over her top
masts. So dense was the storm that the life
savers could not make out whether she was
a steamer, big inward bound clipper dis
masted or collier which had broken adrift
from some tug boat during the fury of the
gale.
Manasquan River on long low reach of
hard white sand. In ordinary weather her
position would not have been perilous, but
IN the raging fury of the storm, an ironclad
would have been in danger, at least.
From time to time, when the snowstorm
abated slightly, the watchers on the shore
thought they could discern figures on the
deck of the vessel but the storm would in
crease and shut out all but the big dark hull
rolling almost imperceptibly in the great
waves and grinding her sides against the
sands At times she seemed to raise up when
some monster wave struck her, and then fall
back again upon the sands.
AZ ten O'Clock the Dlg vessel on tne Squan
beach was still pounding the sands. The
tide was rising, and the great black hull
seemed to be creeping slowly nearer the
long line of mountainous breakers.
The life-saving station men, eager
to save those on the doomed ship, attempted
to launch lifeboats, but their efforts were not
crowned with success. They shot life lines
at the wreck, ginning well up into the wind,
but the galg was too strong and the distance
toe grreat.

TRAP ROCK ON OCEAN AVENUE.

Ocean avenue is to be paved with trap
rock. This decision was arrived at this
morning at meeting of the Street and
Water Commissioners Chief Engineer
Ruggles fled with the board the specifca-
tions under which the work is to be DONE
There is about $4,000 yards Of paving be-
tween Myrtle and Gates avenues. The speci-
fications call for the removal of the
Telford pavement now on the avenue.
The blocks to be used must have
an 8inchssurface, length of u inches. width
of 81 to inches, and depth of 6 or
inches. The work will probably cost $780,
600 and perhaps more.
The object in using trap rock is to patron
ize home production. The much-talked-of
syenlte is not in any way mentioned in the
new specifications.
John Roe was appointed temporary clerk
Of the Assessment Commission.

COUNTESS RUssELEs NEW MOVE
BIZ Cable to the United Press

LONDON, April II, 1s94--The scandal
which was stirred up by the divorce suit Of
Countess Russell against her husband in
1891 has been revived. The suit brought
by the Countess was decided against her,
although it was shown that the Earl
had consorted with other women and OUT
rageously maltreated her. Since the suit,
as for some time previous, the Earl and
Countess have lived apart, and Countess
has now brought suit against her hus-
band for the restitution of her conjugal
rights The papers in the case were served
upon Earl Russell as he alighted from a train
at Paddington Station today The Earl re-
fuses the Countess petition and will defend
the suit

FARMER DUNN EXPLAINS.
The Storm Central Along the Jersey
Coast-NIoving Eastward.


Coast-Moving Eastward.
New YORK, April II, 894.-"The present
storm, said Local Forecast Official Dunn
this morning, is central along the coast Of
New Jersey, and is moving eastward over
the Atlantic
SIT is combination of two storms, or
rather reuniting of one storm that had
been broken in two. In many respects it is
counterpart of the disturbance known as the
blizzard of 1885, with the exception of the
volume of snow
1.-THE storm last evening was central
about midway between the Mississippi
River and the Atlantic Ocean, the lower
lakes and the Gulf. It then split into two
parts, the major part passing northward
part seeking the coast along the South
Atlantic States
"a high pressure over the line of Nova
Scotia drove the northern portion back
towards the South, and caused it to reunite
with the southern part of the storm, Great
ing high winds, which have been raging
with a velocity of sixty to seventy miles an
hour along the coast and from thirty to
forty miles an hour inland.
SAT eight o'clock thif morning the wind at
Sandy Hook was blowing at the rate Of
sixty-four miles an hour, and later was re-
ported at sixty miles an hour The rain
and snow belt is limited in its extent, being
confined to the lakes along the southern part
of New England, and as far south as Vir-
ginia.
1.-THE snow has not even reached Albany,
and New England will only have the ex-
treme end Of the storm. The wind over this
city has been blowing at the rate of forty
milec an hour, mainly from the northeast
but signals have been hoisted for dangerous
high wind to come from the southeast.
1.-THE worst portion of the storm has been
experienced along the coast from New York,
Va, and vessels along the Atlantic shores
will be in a dangerous position, as a heavy
fog is prevailing some distance out to sea.
ssWhile the telegraphic communication is
badly crippled in all directions, said Super
intendent Humstone of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, there is no point with
which we cannot communicate.
1.-THE greatest damage appears to be with
the South Wires and poles are down, but
in what exact location has not yet been as
certained.
Messages to all parts, South and West,
viii, therefore, have to be taken subject to
delay. As soon as the points of trouble have
been ascertained, the local linemen will go to
work repairing the damages, which, It is
feared, have been somewhat extensive.
s'The high winds have been severe along
the New Jersey coast and across that State,
and the greatest trouble is expected between
New York and Philadelphia

MADRID, April II, 1S94.-No event Of
greater political interest has occurred in
Madrid in many years than the formal with
drawal of Emilio Casteler from the Republi-
can group in the Cortes and his alliance with
the Monarchists. The scene in the Cortes
when the announcement of Senior Castelar's
secession from the Republicans was made by
Senior Celleruelo, the leader of the Mo derate
Republican group, yesterday, was one of
great excitement, which was intensified by
the announcement of several other Republi-

REDMOND WANTS DISSOLUTION.

LONDON, April II, 1s94-In an interview
last evening John Redmond, leader of the
Parnellite faction of the Irish party, ex-
pressed great dissatisfaction with Mr.. Nor
ley's statement In the House of Commons in
regard to the time and manner of introdue-
ing the Evicted Tenants bill. The Parneil-
ties, he said, would not vote against the
Government on questions which they them
selves favored or In cases where the Govern
ment was certain of majority without
them, but they would take advantage of the
first suitable opportunity to compel a disso-
luton of Parliament.

LONDON, April II, 1S94.A despatch to the
Times from Calcutta says the Indian Cur

Government asking if it is the intention Of
the Government to make use of the author
ity which it has to borrow large amou nts of
sterling silver. 1t is claimed by the associa-

ers by the Government would insure the
success of the pending currency legislation
by maintaining such contraction of rupee

The election in Hoboken did not result as
Mayor Pagan would have liked. However,
the Mayor gained half victory, for in two
wards the men he advocated for the council
were elected, viz, Capelli, democrat, In the
Third; and Sturken, republican, in the Sec
ond, Capelli can thank ex-Assembly yman
Tahen for his election as much as he can the
Mayor, for if the formers friends, especially
in the upper end of the city had cut the
Dlck6U DOQ, republican,, WOulu nave uoen
elected. Kelly wasn't in it, and Londrigan
didn't hear even one COW bell ring In the
First ward Fagan's support of Schmidt hurt
Weinthal some, but not enough to beat him.
In the Fourth ward the reelection of
Synder was a surprise. He ran Independent
against Kemp, democrat, and Ingleson, re-
publican. Kemp was supported by the
Faganites but they weren't in it. The. Fen
ton Cannon crowd have lost all strength in
the ward, while the victory of the Stanton
Fox crowd is decidedly pronounced. George
Gebhardt's election as School Trustee was a
hard blow for the Fenton crowd.
The only city Office voted for was that for
Water Commissioner, and in this Demo
cratic Candidate Eggers had a majority of
over 1000.
The council for the next year will consist
of three Pagan democrats, one republican
and four regular democrats 1t is more than
probable that Sturken will support Mayor
Fagan. If he does the council will be a tie.
By the election of George Bell, republican,
as School Trustee in the Second ward, it
will increase the number of the republicans
in the board to two, the democrats having
ten, The vote in detail for Councilman was

BERLIN, April II, 1S94.-The recent speech
made in the Reichstag by Count Posadowsky,
Secretary of the Imperial Treasury, is re-

call another conference to discuss plan
similar to the one already submitted to the
Currency Commission by Herr Arendt.
This scheme contemplates the fixing of the
price of silver by treaty agreement between
the countries intersected and the issuance of
international silver certificates. Until the
