devoted to that part of the work.
Experts prefer the Pacific cod
fish to its Atlantic kindred. They
say it is finer, firmer and possessed
of better flavor than the fish from
the Grand Banks. Nevertheless
there is, even in San Francisco, a
strong feeling in favor of the New
England Goldfish. or the two thou
sand grocery stores in that city,
not more than a dozen sell the Pa
cific Goldfish, and efforts to intro
duce it into general use have made
little Roadway. The fish packers
declare that it is only the mar
rowest sort of prejudice that pre-
vents the native product from:
crowding the eastern article out of
the market. They insist that it is
better, more nutritious and in
every way superior.
The Pacific Goldfish is, neverthe-
less, travelling eastward. Three or
four carloads are shipped every
week to st. Louis, Chicago and st.
Paul, where it finds a ready sale at
profitable prices. The shippers
even declare that they send guam
titles right into Gloucester and
other packing points in New Eng
land, where it is repacked, marked
with new labels and sent west
again to be sold as "first choice
Massachusetts, Goldfish" 1t may be,
however, that this latter statement
is only sample California fish
story.

CURTIS MUST PAY UP.
owes His wife Over Nine Years
AlJm0ny.


Counselor Ward of paterson revived an
assault case this morning in the Court OF
Chancery, In May, 1878, Elizabeth Curtis
who now lives on Newkirk street, in this
city, obtained a divorce from her husband,
John Curtis. In January, 1884, she obtain.
ed from Chancellor Runyon IN order direct.
ing Curtis to pay her 50 per week alimony.
Mrs. Curtis alleges that he paid her IS on
account soon after the order was granted.
and has paid her nothing since.
On April II of this year she
applied to the Chancellor, through Mr.. Ward
for an order compelling Curtis to pay hel
the alimony in arrears and secured the ar
rest Of her husband, who lives in New York
on a writ of ne erate.
Curtis was held in $500 bail and this morn
ing the Chancellor heard the case. Mr. Ward
laid the above facts before the court and
John Dennin for Curtis submitted affidavits
denying that Curtis had ever been served
with the notice.
Curtis, in his affidavit swore that he was
taken before the Vice Chancellor for con-
tempt in not paying the alimony seyera
years ago, but the application was dismissed
and he thought that settled the matter. He
has since married a woman in New York
and has one child.
After hearing the argument Chancellor
McGil decided that Curtis should pay the
alimony from January IL, 1884, to Febru-
arY 3, 1893.

EVidence-Gannon to Testify.
Architect Louis H. Fiele was again placed
on trial this morning in the Court of Gen
eral Sessions for malfeasance in office, AS
has been already told in THE News, the case,
which was started on Thursday last resulted
in a mistrial. it being found that Charles H.
Turner, the foreman Of the jury, had been a
member of the Board of Freeholders at the
time that Giele is alleged to have committed
the misconduct Of wrongly certifying the
bills of Contractor Brown.
In opening the case Prosecutor Winfield
referred to the fact that the defendant had
been appointed supervising architect to
su~perintend the construction of the Hall of
Records and had certified hat certain work
had been lone according to the terms of
contract on the strength of which the Board
of Freeholders had paid certain sums to the
contractor when, as a matter OF fact, the
work had not been done.
Deputy County Clerk John G. Fisher and
Clerk John Boyd of the Board of Freehold
ers were the first witnesses. They repeated
the testimony given by them on Thursday
and which has already been published in
TIE NEWS. At the noon recess Mr.. Boyd
was still on the stand.
Ex-County Superintendent James f, Gan
non, who could not be found on Thursday,
will be called this afternoon for the defense.

There is a broad principle of teachers

solutely without a hearing, q teacher AFTER

That rule became a part of nay contract. IL
remained in full force until last year, when
the Reform Board struck out the sentence

reads. No teacher shall be dismissed except
by a vote of four members Ii is Il senseless
rule, since four members make u bare ma
iority. The rule is left there merely to dc,
ceive. Now then, no notice was served
upon the teachers that our contracts had
been changed. This rule does not pretend to
change existing contracts. The question
then comes up, Can the members OF the
board proceed to remove teachers without
regard to the contracts under when lney
We're engaged?

conflict and it probably will be very soon"

A wILFUL GIRLS WALK.
Josephine E4arkIns, Escape fro m Fur
nashing a Rarro wclsG Mystery.

ElarktnS, EHcSve from uE-
nishing a BarrowcliG Mystery.
George Harold and Henry Williams, two
boys living ON Cottage street, went walking
on Saturday evening with sixteen year old
Josephine Larkins, of No. 2S Cottage street,
against her big brothers wishes. AS he OBJ
jected TO his sister going with young men on
of her age, she proposed they walk
down by the Delaware, LackawaDna and
Western Railroad, near Dey street, where
no one would see them. They had no more
than reached the railroad when she saw a
man approach who she thought was her
brother. She told the boys to run away as
he might hurt them, and she would face the
music all alone.
The boys accordingly took to their heels
and the girl. thinking the man was her
brother, walked deliberately up to him, not
discovering her mistake until it was too late.
The man caught hold of her and whistling to
a companion, who came at his call, they at
tempted to assault her. She cried out and
William II. Kries, a member of Grace NJ. II.
Church, who is employed as a Waterman on
the road at that place, ran to her assistance.
He carried in his hand a large club
to cope with him, left the girl
Cnhurt and ran away. Nh. kries escorted
her nome, and on the way passed her
brother, who was talking to a man whom
the girl instantly recognized as the one who
first took hold of her. She called her brother
to one side, and related to him her expert
ence. He asked the man, who was George
Schuchart of No. 1870 Cottage street, if it
was true. Schuchart said it was, but he did
not know that it was his NsrkinsD sister, or
he would not have accosted her.
Larkins notified the police Of the Third
precinct, who arrested Schuchart and his
companion, John Mullay of No. $50 West
Newark avenue, Schuchart having told who
he was. Judge Douglass held them each in
81 900 bail this morning to await the action
of the Grand Jury.

PIRACY OF PLAYS.
A New Measure to Protect American
Brains.

WASHINGTON, July 2, 1s94.-Representa-
tive Covert of New York, the chairman of
the House Committee on Patents, has made
a report on Representative Cummings bill
to prevent the pirating of dramatic and
operate works. The report shows that the
business OF producing and staging plays and
operas by American authors has largely in
creased in recent years, and that many OF
the best stage productions of modern times
AVE been the work Of American authors.
He says 'persons in various sections OF the
country, have, without the shadow of right
or authority pirated these works, and con-
filming their operations CHIEFLY to the smaller
and more remote towns, have given repre-
their own individual profit, and without
making any compensation whatever to
authors or ownors. Under existing condi-
lions no adequate remedy exists for this I'M
lawful u~surpation of property rights. The
representation or these pirated productions
is generally given for a night or two only at
a Given place, and the offenders fit from
section to section and from State to State,
and bid defiance to the processes Of the
courts seeking to restrain their unlawful
acts.
SIT is difficult and in many cases impossi-
BILE to serve him with injunctlons and court
orders because of his migratory habits; and
as he is in almost every instance entirely
without attachable means, it is impossible to
satisfy a money Judgment against him. how
ever culpable he may be, and whatever in
Jury he may have occasioned to the author
or owner.
Testimony has been adduced before the
committee showing hat the losses aecruing
to authors and owners of copyrighted pro-
auctions by these piracies amount to many
thousands of dollars each year. So little
protection is, in fact, afforded under exist
ing conditions that many prominent drama
tic authors no longer go to the trouble and
expense of taking out copyrights for their
works.
The bill has been framed to remedy this
condition of things.

TO FIGHT A NEW SALOON.

Mr.. Peter A. Somers owns the property at
the northeast corner of Wayne and Varick
streets. Property owners in the vicinity
believe that the store is to be converted into
a saloon, Therefore, a long petition has
been forwarded to the Board of Alderman
asking that no license be granted to any one
to keep a saloon there. The people say that
the block is made up of fine residences, and
that the advent of a saloon would
not only cause property to depreciate but
drive old residents out of the street. Action
will be taken on the petition by the Alder
men tonight. Counsellor Warren Dixon has
been retained to look after the interest of
the petitioners.
The property owners further charge that
Somers has reconstructed the building in
such a manner that it projects about eigh-
teen inches over the building line. Suit is
to be instituted against him for this viola
ton of the law.

KILLED AY A FALLING TREE.

HARTFORD, Conn, July 2, 1S94.-Two
weeks ago August Lumlen, a Frenchman,
disappeared from Cobalt, where he was EN-
ployed Yesterday morning his body was
found in the woods two miles north of the
village. The head was badly crushed and
an axe belonging to Lumlen, which had ap-
parently been used to fell a tree, lay near
the body. The theory is that Lumlen was
hurt by the falling tree and walked some
distance before lying down to die. The
body was badly decomposed. Coroner
Davis considers the circumstances such as
to warrant an investigation. Lumlen was
about twenty-six years old, unmarried and
had no relatives in this country.
