Gustav Reiber, formerly proprietor OF the
j. L. C., a disreputable resort next door to

Chief Murphy, whoi is determined That ne
will clean out every abomination OF that
character and sent men into the y. ]. u"
on Saturday night to buy liquor.
At first the waiter replied that they only
sold soft stuff but finally sold them beer.
Last night the same men returned TO ouy
beer, but Reiber, scared at the fate OF his
friend Gombossy, replied that no beer could
be sold that night. The Chief sent a squad
of police there and searched the place. Ihey
found a stock of liquors and plenty OF cyl
dence in fact that Reiber was evadlng the
license law.
He, in court this morning, claimed that
the liquors found belonged TO the stock ne

for Justice Potts, who imposed the $50 line.
Reiber was denied a license by the Board
of Aldermen and he has been running the
dive for the last two or three weeks. The
police will keep their eye on him and his nice
partner. Mr.. Jake Gombossy.

Faurrer.
Undertaken Volk, who was arrested,
charged with stealing the body of John
Kennedy, had a hearing before Police jus
tice Douglass this morning. As was told ia
THE JERSEY CITY News at the time, Volk
sent his wagon to the place where Kennedy's
bodv was and took charge OF 1t.
Mrs. Kennedy, the wife of the deceased,
gave Mur1er permission to bury the body,
and when Murrer went to claim it Nelk re-
fused to give it up until Murrer paid him
$50. Murrer refused to pay the money and
Volk refused to give up the dead mans
clothes and other property. AT the Sugges-
ton Of Murrer, Mrs. Kennedy had Volk ar
rested.
After the hearing Volk assaulted Murrer on
the street and called him all the hard names
that were at his command. Murrer retaliat-
ed by telling Volk to grow up and be a man
and he (Murrer) would punch the .sstutiin' F"
out of him.
.sYou can't do it, you big lumax, as big as
you are, reared Volk, showing his little fist
in the big undertaker's face.
..Pughn!' replied Murrer, swapping his
finger at the understood obsequitor, IF |
ever hit you, you'd have a case of burying
yourself"
AT this the crowd which gathered began to
veil and cheer, first for one and then for the
other, until Captain Newton ordered the
men to move on or he would arrest them.
The noisy u~ndertakers then went home.

NEW CHINESE TREATY.
Secretary Bayard's Vindieation
Americans Must Reg
lister in China.


WASHINGTON, Aug. IA, 1S94.-The
new Chinese treaty to the ratification of
which the Senate yesterday agreed with
out amendment Is practically the same
convention as that negotiated during
President Cleveland's first administration
by Mr.. Bayard. and which the Senate at
that time so loaded down with modifica-
lions as to render IL obnoxious to the
Chinese Government and caused its fall
ure. The action of the Senate yesterday
is, therefore, considered by the Depare-
ment of State as a complete v~indication
of Mr.. Bayard's attempt to provide a fair
ean ge OF u and fbe ehine eeeW and i e taGR Ken
as fairly Indicative of the advanced
stand the American people have taken on
the Monaghan question.
The important point about the treaty
is that 1t takes the place. Of the one
sided exclusion laws adopted by Congress
better feeling befwee the two interest
ed countries. While 1t avoids the sting
of exclusion it really aecomplishes more
exclusion than the existing law in that
it secures the cordial corporation of
hin to the end of absolutely prohibit
ing all immigration of Chinese laborers

partment authority to make restrictive
Regulations for the future which viii
grafton and specifically prohibits the ma
CHINA DOES THE SAME.
The only clause of the treaty not con-
tanned in the Bayard draft and the one
that has aroused the greatest opposition
is the fifth article, in which the United
enact and enforce laws similar to ou.
own exclusion acts against United States
laborers in China, and provides thai the
United States shall FURNISH the Chinese
Government reports gtvir the name, age
occupation ana place of residence IN
Chaaa of all American citizens. including
missionaries. The apparent objections to
these provisions readily disappear when
it is known that this Information has
been regularly furnished to the Chinese
Government for many years, 1t being
the custom of Americans to register at
furnish these lists to the local authort-
ties, in order thai protection might b.
afforded to sunh missionaries and travet-
lers in case of necessity.
AMERICANS REtiISIER IN CHINA.
When the lists are furnished the Chi
nese authorities assufne full r~asporr'hili-
ty fer the safety. Of such persons. There

BAIL FIXED FOR BURET.

Application was made by Counsellor
Dixon today to Judge Rice of New Bruins
wick, who acted for Judge Hudspeth in the
Court of Sessions, to admit Ellie Buret of
West Hoboken to bail. Buret was recently
convicted of having attempted to kill his
wife bv shooting her. When he thought, he
had succeeded he attempted to take his own
life. His conviction has been taken to the
Court of Errors on an appeal. and Counsel
lor Dixon wanted him to have his liberty
pending the appeal
Judge Rice liked the bail at 5000, but in
sisted that an additional bond to keep the
peace be given. It is thought that Buret
can secure that amount of bail.

FOUND HER LOVER ASLEEP,
Happy Ending of Marias Podosk1's
Weary Search.

Weary Search.
A pretty German girl named Meria Podol-
ski, twenty-five years old, of No. 920 Wash
ington street, Hoboken, told Justice Rusch
of that city yesterday, that her lover, Franz
Rogotzki, of No. 81 Washington street, had
Tilted her. He had betrayed her, she said.
under promise of marriage, and when asked
to keep his promise had declared his inten-
ton of emDarking for Germany.
The Justice accompanied the heartbroken
girl to the Hamburg steamship docks, where
the steamer Lain was making preparations
to sail. Marshal Bernard, when the story
was related to him, expressed sympathy for
the girl and escorted the pair over the ship
in search of the fugitive lover. His baggage
was found all ready to go, and be had en-
gagged a stateroom. But Franz himself could
not be found.
Rusch and the girl retraced their steps,
she d~isconsolate and forlorn. Upon reach
ing the Justices sanctum Franz was found
asleep in a chair. When awakened he said
he had been looking for his sweetheart all
day long to marry her. His search being
unsuccessful, he had called upon the Justice
for advice. They were married and sailed
away together for Germany.

MORE LIGHT WANTED.

Citizens throughout the city are com
planning of the way the Street and Water
Commissioners are shutting off the street
lights. The latest piece of work and the
worse one of all, is the cutting off the four
lights at the head of the hundred steps at the
foot of Franklin street. This spot is a
dangerous place even in broad daylight. 1t
is unguarded by rails and a misstep would
send a person to the bottom of the bluff, a
distance Of twenty or thirty feet.

SUPERSTITION IN CALCUTTA.

The grossest superstition exists in Cal

siding in Jaun Bazaar street. had a live goat
flung down from his two storied house in
accordance with the directions of a so called
magician, who was allied in to cast out a
devil with which son was supposed to be
posed. The poor brute was first fed with a
few bamboo leaves over which the wizard
mumbled some mantras, and it vas then
pushed over the terrace. The animal was
killed and it's flesh was distributed to the
poor.-ndianap0lis Neics.

WHERE COLD SNAPS ARE RARE.

Whenever a cold snap visits Fort Myers.
far down in subtropical Florida. the inhabi-
tants, who have no method Of heating their
houses, come out into the streets and keep
warm by sitting around great fires of wood.
The cold snaps are rare, but when they come
everybody, even the Northern visitor, is
thoroughly uncomfortable, and poor folks,
with few and thin garments, really suffer.
