VILE RooKBRY CLOSED.
Sad Romance Connected with a Dis
nnantsed KHobOken House.

The Hoboken Board of Health has closed
two story rookery at No 416 Jefferson
street, that city, which for years has been
who never were bothered about paying rent.
The ownership of the building is not clear.
and the city has assumed possession until
title is proven Mayor Pagan had received
letters complaining of the disgusting condi-
tion of the building, and, with Health In
spector Granelli, made an inspection. They
were sickened at the manifestations of neg
lect and filth Walls had great gaping holes
punched in thenl ceilings had fallen to the
floors, adding to the dirt already there,
crumbled plaster was everywhere about the
place, doors were battered in, and besides
nauseating odor permeated the atmosphere.
From evidences around the place was the
haunt of dissolute characters who spent
their time in working the can" Some of
them were found stretched at full length in
heaps of dirt by the investigators. They
were Italians dirty to degree. The house
contains nearly two dozen small rooms. and
in many of these the Italians have found
shelter and secrecy. Probably forty Italians
made the den their home Boxes and bar
rels were plenty and constituted the princl--
pal furniture. The entire colony was dis
possessed by the Inspector, and the doors
were locked and barred.
In all probability the house, being nothing
more than disease breeding nest, will be
pulled down by the Health Board. Neigh
bors say a romance is connected with the
place. As the story goes, the property was
bought in at partition sale by two men,
partners in business. One member Of the
firm had daughter, the other son. The
young ones married, and, one of the part
ners Of the firm dying, the pair were willed
the property under provision that they
should live there. At this juncture villain
stepped upon the scene and ran off with the
girl. She has gone to New York, IT is said,
and her I.ightful husband is reputed to be a
drunkard about town.
