Untimely End of Gus ~Eigenrauch. of
the Heights.

Untimely End of Gus E~fgenrauch. of
the Heights.
Gus Eigenrauch, the grocer of Central
avenue and Irving street, n ~well-known
on the Heights, committed suicide by hang
ing last night in a cell in the Sixth Preciuct
station house. He had been arrested early i'll

feared he would kill her at their home, No.
S33 Central venue. He was intoxicated at
the time. He had a severe cut in his wrist,
which DIR. Henry bandaged after his arrest.
The dead body was found shortly after nine
o'clock by Officer Gering. Captain Nc
Nulty had visited the man not ten minutes
before, and he was all right. Eigenrauch
had taken the bandage from his wrist, and
with this hanged himself. Undertaken
Brackner has taken charge of the body. The
funeral will be Thursday. Eigenrauch was
well known on the Heights. He made con-
siderable money in the grocery business.
Five years ago he sold out this business, and
bought Hudson Hall at Franklin street and
Webster avenue. which he conducted for
three years. While in the saloon business he
began to drink, and ever since had been I'M
able to overcome his passion. Two years
ago he sold out the saloon and again rented
a grocery store, which he had at his death.
He Ieayes, besides his wife. three children
two boys and a girl-Louis, age sixteen
Gus, age six, and Mamie, age IL.

on will remain, and experience teaches that
| where opportunity is afforded to indulge
any forbidden practice, it will be INDUCED,
| to greater or less degree, and more or less
openly, as it may be regarded safe or unsafe
to do.
There is no doubt hat it was the con-
cealed purpose of the promoters of the legis-
lation of 1880 to legalize bookmaking and
| pool selling on race tracks, and, until the de-
cision in 1887, by the Court of Errors
and Appeals, of the case of MCLEAN
VS.. The State, reported in 20 Vroom,
AIN such practices were carried on, ostensi-
bly,, by virtue of that legislation. The acts
of last winter were, | apprehend, really in
tended to effectuate the objects and purposes
of the legislation of 1880, which had been in
a measure defeated by the decision of the
Court of Errors and Appeals before men
toned. Had not the legislation of 1880 been
in existence, that of last winter would have
been useless to its promoters.
l suggest, therefore, that the remedy
to be applied in this case be
heroic. That you pass each of the repeal
ing acts recommended, and also re-enact, in
their original form, sections So, 81, IS and SO
of the Grimes act. By so doing, and eradi-
eating the cause, you will prevent all per-
nicious effects.

plain Their Actions.
Tomorrow evening the Hoboken Common
Council will meet, and action will be taken
to relieve the distress existing in Hobokeu
respecting the poor. THE JERSEY CITY
NEWS has exclusively told nov
the drowsy Aims Committee of
the Common Council was suddenly awak-
ened to the realization that the poor fund
was exhausted. They confess they did not
know such to be the condition, and now
intend making reparation. A resolution has
been prepared by the committee, consisting
of Councilmen Weinthal, Snyder, Steginan
and Kelly suggesting, as a means of relief,
resorting to the measures provided by law in
such a case, namely, to draw 81, 900 from the
contingent fund. The fund amounts to $1,000.
From this fund the city has borrowed
$500 already. Councilman Weinthal, who
has been hit hard by the recent
development in the matter, will to-
morrow night introduce a resolution
which will tend to alleviate suffering.
He is convinced that the Council cannot
vote away money from the city's fund for
this contingency and therefore will introduce
a resolution directing hat the Aims Com
mittee, in conjunction with a committee of
five citizens appointed by the Mayor, solicit
funds and establish a store for the benefit of

HER MEMORY 4 BLANK
Miss Barrowelif Has Made No
Statement to the Police.

Miss Barrowclif has positively made no
statement which would give the police the
slightest mixing as to who her assailant is,
all sensational reports to the contrary not
~withstanding. She still lies in her private
room in the female ward of the City Hospital
in a semi-conscious condition, with befogged
mind, and no clear conception of anything
except, perhaps, her present surroundings.
The terrible shock which she was subjected
TO has so unbalanced her mind that it may
be weeks before she completely RECEIVERS her
! reason, if indeed she ever does.
She does talk at intervals, sometimes I'M
| intelligibly. and always in ~disjointed sem
fences, out OF which nothing tangible can
be gathered.
TIL EIR PATIENT.
The police nave refrained from question
ing her for fear of causing a relapse to
her mind.
They are unusually careful in this respect.
A fatal move at this time might prevent her
| from ever regaining her reason.
The police are not allowing the grass to
| grow under their feet while waiting for Miss
Barrowclif to recover, but are going ahead
with their Investigations as it they never
expect any disclosures from her.
HER CLOTHES EXAMINED.
Miss B~arrowcliffs clothes were taken yes
| terday afternoon from the hospital to Police
Headquarters, where they were examined by
| Superintendent Smith This morning they
were returned to the hospital again by De-
tective Dalton.
WINFIELD WON'T AIR
This morning I asked Prosecutor Winfield
if he had received a letter from Prof. Blggs
| or any other expert, to the effect that Miss
May Barrowcliff had not been criminally as
saulted the night she was brutally beaten on
the head, as some New York papers have
published.
81 never received any such letter, I" he re-
piled.

tie FAvoRs THE WILSON BILL
BIZ Gable to the United Press.

LONDON, Jan. 0, 1S94.-The Globe today
comments upon the letter of Mr.. Andrew
Carnegie to the Ne,o York Tribune, written
just prior to his departure from New
York last week for Europe, in which
he argued for various reasons in
favor of the acceptance of the Wilson tariff
bill. The paper says that it agrees with
the reasons advanced by Mr.. Carnegie,
and adds that the time has arrived
for a Democratic Republican tariff
compromise. England, it further says, is
only less interested in the matter than the
United States, whose financial troubles are
largely the cause of trade depression in Eng
land, but, it adds, unless important conces-
sions are made, the bill is not likely to pass.
The Globe declares that it regrets Presi-
dent Cleveland's autocratic temper and
says his stone-wall attitude during the
discussion of the silver question is
Unsuitable now, because there is
not a prependerance of pop ular opinion
in favor of the bill. Unless he agrees to a
compromise President Cleveland will, it de-
clares, be blamed for the delay in the return
of prosperity.

bOken Silk Company.

The suit of Paul Gerli against the Poide-
bard Silk Manufacturing Company of West

necessary quantity of old crop silk. Poide-
bard g. Co. refused to accept the offer and
broke the contract with Gerli & Brothers.
The latter firm brought suit then to recover
Sc, 900 damages, and as stated, the trial was
begun yesterday. 1t was continued today.
