WORK TEMPORARILY STOPPED
Chancellor NcGill Refers the Suit
for Testimony to Be Taxed
No End in Sight.

Chancellor McGill this morning in
Chancery Chambers. told Messrs. C. L.
Corbin Chas d. Thompson and ex-Judge
A. Q. Garretscn that he had decided to
deny the issue Of an injunction to re-
strain the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany from interfering with the con-
strucHon work of the National Docks
and N. j. function Railway Connecting
Company atsthe place known as the
Point of Rocks in Jersey City.
Il will hold the matter until final hear
ing. The rights acquired by the Ma
tional Docks Company will remain as
they are; but they must no. go further
with the work pending the determination
on final hearing" the Chancellor added.
Counsellor Charles D. Thompson, for
the National Docks Company, then asked
the Chancellor to refer the case to

EVERYTHING STAYED.
This phase of the famous fight at
the Point of Rocks is neither a victory
nor a defeat for either side, but simply
stays everything until the main question
is determined.
For six years the National Docks Com
pany have fought to get under the yard
of the P. R. R. and thus connect with
but their progress has been stubbornly
opposed by the P. r. r. The suit has
travelled from the police court even to
the United States Supreme Court, Court
of Equity and Court of Errors and APP

and are engaged in it., Even should the
National Docks, on final hearing of the
injunction, the Pennsylvania Company
will carry the case to the Court of Err
rors, and it will be the same old story
over again.

The Chancellor informed him that it

A BRIDAL SUPERSTITION.
Sewing Girls Stitch Single Hairs Into
Wedding Gowns.

From the New York Sun.
One superstition that exists among sew
ing girls and their associates of Paris and
New York is that If the head dressmakers
will stitch into wedding garments a single
hair from the head of each, they will be-
come brides within a very short time after
the maiden who wears the bridal outfit then
in preparation. A young woman of exper-
ience and with a quick eye for what would
Interest the Suns readers said to Sun re-
porter the other evening:
Let me tell YOU of this strange and yet
pretty superstition which exists among
some of the sewing girls in Paris and New
York. I am more familiar with the super
stition as it exists among the girls of some
of the bigger dry goods shops in New York
city, and SO in this instance l will confine
my story to them. When the sewing girls
in the different apartments and the girls
behind the counters learn that the house
has received order for a big trousseau
they besiege the head dressmakers and ask
them to stitch into the wedding gown es-
pecially a single hair from their heads
This hair is SO fine that 1t is easily con-
cealed and cannot in any way mar the
beautiful wedding gown. The head dress
makers very often humor the girls.
4 know positively that this superstition
exists, and I know positively that in many
wedding gowns, could they be picked to
pieces. would be found many hairs stitched
in. The girls when they go home at night
tell their girl friends that hair from
their heads has been stitched into the
wedding gown of Miss So-and-So, and the
lucky one is Immediately envied. She will
be married very soon, her associates say.
MANY of the girls in the big shops Sc
cure bits of the wedding gowns of fash
nab,e brides. They take them home and
treasure them up. They make collections
of them, and they point them out to their
friends in the neis hborhood. saying, That
was Miss So-and-Sos wedding gown and
so they go through the list. The sewing
girl who possesses the greatest collection
of these bits is very important young
woman in the eyes of her young woman
friends. She is considered to be almost
fashionable herself, because she is so near
the throne. But by far the preItiest super
stition that l have yet heard of Is the one
where single hair from so many of these
shop girls is stitched into these very ex-
pensive wedding gowns"

New York city is on an island, with only a
few railroads crossing to 1t from the main
land. The other great and little railways,
which bring and take goods and people to
and from New York, all stop on the opposite
shores of our karbor. in New Jersey, Staten
Island and Long Island.
Since the cars of one railroad often have to
go past the city upon the other roads. these
floats are used to transport them around
our island, SO that goods from Boston or Sag
Harbor, for instance. can be sent around
New York to the tracks of the roads that
will carry them to San Francisco without
unloading or reloading. The floats that car

every floating thing to which they are hitch
ed-even dragging huge Atlantic steamships
at their sides-because they reach down deep
into the water, where their big screws,
driven by very powerful engines, obtain a
mighty hold. Because our tug boats are 30
small and yet so strong, they are able to
move swiftly when they have no burdens to
carry.

MANY OFFERS OF MARRIAGE,

From he Tall Mall Gazette.
There are in Odessa at the present time
three young Russian ladies of great wealth,
who are engaged in the useful callings of
selling Goals. washing linen and serving on
a farm, and the charbcrniere, the washer
woman and the farm servant have received
ard divided among them during the last
few weeks S6S offers of marriage. They
have been called the Cinderellas of Odessa,
because their strange fate found them out
in that town. Il think that very few have
sighed when fate at last has found them"
writes Praed. and though these ladies have
some cause to sigh, their trouble is pass

A wealthy Russian had lately died at
Odessa and left them a fortune of many
million rubles, but on the condition that
each and all should take their turn at If

same course to matriculate millionaires.
An amusing feature is the noble self-re-
nunciation of the SOB suitors, who one and
all agree to overlook the fifteen months
hard labor in consideration of the sunny
years which they, the heiresses, will enjoy
and share ever after. "Iour experience"
