MORE q PAVING.

Street and Water Commissioners to
ssFix Up'' Their Neighborhoods.
The Street and Water Commissioner this
morning resurrected the asphalt paving
The resolution bringing it up was presented
by the Committee of the Whole. The Com
mittee of the Whole in this instance APP
parently consisted of President Madden and

to prepare specifications for the paving with
asphalt over cobbles and Belgian block,
East Hamilton place, between Eighth and
Ninth street, West Hamilton place, between
Eighth and Ninth street, Pavonia avenue,
between East Hamilton place and Erie
street. Had a few more feet been selected
by the gentlemen the front yards of
their respective homes would have
been paved with asphalt also.
Before leaving the vicinity of their
homes. they decided to have Eighth street,
between Grove and Coles street, asphalted.
In their generosity they visited the lower
end of the city and decided to have asphalt
laid on Barrow street from Newark avenue
to Grand street.
This is all that is to be done Mt present.
AS the Board of Adjudication the objections
of Randolph, Condict & Black on the final
map of the sewer in Duncan avenue was re-
ported upon adversely.
The assessment will be turned over to the
City Collector for collection, with the con-
currence Of the Board of Finance. 1t will
bring about $4,000 into the city. All OBJ
objections to the construction of a sewer in
Girard avenue were reported adversely upon,
and the contract awarded to Henry Byrne.
This sewer will cost about $4,000.
The board also decided to con-
struct a big main sewer in
the Lafayette section of the city. It will
cost $4,000. The final assessment of the
Ocean avenue sewer was confirmed, not
withstanding objections of excessive assess
ment made by Mary A. Gahogan. The final
assessmen of the sewer in Henderson street
was also confirmed.

WILL FATlMA N
Wilt H1IM1A D1AISOHF
Mayor Pagan Says Mother Mana
ger Says She Shall.

There seems to be a grain of doubt as to
whether Fatima will dance at the Germania
Theatre, Hoboken, tonight. Mayor Pagan
has said he proposes that she shall not, and
he declares he will pursue steps to prevent
it. He says the dance is sensuous and should
not be tolerated among respectable citizens,
such as inhabit Hoboken. The Mayor says:
ssThe dance was pronounced improper in
other cities, and, If that is SO, we should not
have it here
Fatima's manager intends that, as adver-
tised, most positively shall Fatima appear
in her danse dN rentYe, and he will instruct
her to go through the identical motions she
is said to nave done at the Chicago
Fair, down on Cairo street, among the
Asiatic colony. Fatinla will very naturally
do what her manager directs, and if she is
not stopped by the police, it is about certain
she will do the whole business. Tonight she
begins, and it is thought Mayor Pagan will
send a few cops around to the theatre to
disturb Fatima.

GARRY H0BARTS SCHEME
Trying TO Eobble UP All tho Water
Rights In the state.

The New Jersey General Security Com
pany is the rather ambiguous name of a new
corporation just formed under the laws of
New Jersey. It was incorporated at Pater-
son on Wednesday. The names of the incor-
porators give q better idea of the objects of
the new company than anything contained
in the articles of incorporation, and it is not
altogether improbable that the taxpayers
and citizens of Newark, as well as the tax
payers and citizens of other New Jersey
cities and towns, will be found to have inter
ests closely allied to the interests of the new
corporation before long.
The fact of the matter is that the New Jer-
sey General Security Company is a big water
syndicate, and is destined to swallow up all
uncontrolled interests in the water rights
and watersheds in the northern and north
western part of the State. It's incorporates
are all East Jersey Water Company people,
though all the East Jersey Water Company
people are not connected with the new COM
pany. The stockholders are George +. Baker,
Fl. c. Fahnestock and JamesiA. Garland, of
the First National Bank of New York city
Carrot A. Hobart of Paterson, and j. R.
Bartlett, of the Montclair Water Com
pany. All are East Jersey Water
Company stockholders. Mr.. Garland is
Treasurer of the East Jersey Water Com
pany, and Mr.. Hobart counsel. The only
East Jersey Water Company interest left
out of the new water company is the Lehigh
Valley interest. E. P. Wilbur and HenryS s.
Drinker are, respectively, President and
Vice President Of the East Jersey Water
Company, and also high officials of the Lee
high Valley Railroad Company. D. G..
Baird, Secretary of the East Jersey Water
Company, is also connected with the Lehigh
Valley at Philadelphia.
The CAPT al stock of the New Jersey Cen
eral Security Company is placed at 50, 000,-
900, of which S500,000 is paid in. The object
of the corporation, as stated in the articles
on file, is to lease and contract railways, buy
and sell securities and stocks, erect buildings,
improve property and supply water to muni-
CAPABILITIES. This covers a wide range. Mr..
Garland, one of the incorporators, however,
told a reporter that the sole object was to
consolidate the interests of those concerned
in water companies in New Jersey, and Mr..
Hobart says it is to perfect the title of those
in the water rights in New Jersey,

CINDERELLA AGAIN
The Performance Will BE Repeated
ON WashingtOn's Birthday.

ON Washington's Birthday.
Many who purchased tickets for Gender
ella" last week and were prevented by the
miserable weather from seeing the perform
ance, and others who now regret that they
did not see this really charming play, have
requested Mr.. Carl Marwig to give one more
performance, and the evening of Washing
toms Birthday has been selected and Has
brouck Hall should be crowded, as the enter
tainment will again be for charity.
The children taking part in cinderella"
are nearly all pupils of Mr.. Marwig's dane
ing classes, whom he has trained in dancing
in a wonderful manner, and they execute
their speciality dances superbly. The cos
TUNES worn by them are really magnificent
and when grouped in tableaux, make beauti-
full pictures. The foil fencing by the chill
dren in students costumes is remarkable,
and the drilling of the same in their hunters
suits equally SO. The fairies go through their
parts in a manner showing the great train
ing they M have received.
The public should not fail to see this last
performance of ''Cinderella," especially as it
is for the benefit of Jersey City's poor.
The children's tickets have been reduced
to fifty cents, and all the tickets will be on
sale at Harrison's stationery and bookstore
in Exchange place, and at Hasbrouck Hall.

nuccAs SsSs
The iridium of thanksgiving for the beati-
fcation of Rev. Anthony Baldinucci, con-
fessor of the Society of Jesus and mission
airy in Italy at the close of the seventeenth
century, began in st. Peters Church yes
terday morning. Solemn high mass was
celebrated, the Rights Rev. Bishop Wigger

ing to an unavoidable absence Father

FATHER CASSIDY'S ERMON
Father Cassidy in the introduction OF his
sermon gave a sketch of the feast of the Cos
pei of the day, the TRANSPORTATION OF our
Lord and the lessons of the church conveyed
by recalling the glory of the saints. He
then briefly sketched the life of Anthony
Baldinucci as a boy and a novice of the
Jesuit order, as a teacher in a college, and
as a missionary. His field as a
missionary priest was principally
in the Roman Campagna where he labored
for twenty years. He was noted especially
for two things. His wonderful power as a
peacemaker, and his extraordinary devotion
to the blessed Virgin Mary.
In spite of feeble health, which prevented
him the fulfilment of his desire to become a
Missionary in the East Indies, he was able
for twenty years to perform the
work of a missionary. Dur
ing this missionary life he usually
preached four sermons a day, heard confess
sions many hours a day and night, and de
voted the time left to him for sleepto mental
prayer for good of the people amongst whom
he was laboring. The lessons the preacher
drew from his life were peace and
devotion, At the conclusion of the
sermon the Deacon of the mass
sang the Confiteor, and Father Cassidy read
an Apostolic indult, by which Bishop Wig
ger granted a partial indulgence of forty

KERRIGAN DIDN'T KILL LUCKY

State Detective Lucky Harrison was
ready at ten minutes to five o'clock on Sat
urday afternoon, waiting for the announced
attack by Peter Kerrigan. The detective
sat in the room back of the saloon, No. PSI

but Kerrigan did not disturb the tranquility.
Kerrigan had announced that he would muir
der Harrison at the hour mentioned, and it
tween the two had about reached a culmina

his house, and did not venture out. The eff

removed in a few days, to be sold at auction.
