DEAD IN THE BATH.
Mystery of "a Russians Fate in a
Room at I5O Dee.

BROOKLYN, Jan. IL, 1S95-Joseph
Kowisky, a Russian Jew, twenty-one
years of age, was found dead this morn
ing in the hot room of a Russian bath
at No. Y Seigel street, Williamsburg,
kept by Richard Corskasesky. The
boys parents live at No. 116 SeigeE street
and for some time he was doing odd jobs
for the bath house keeper. He also work
ed for Max Resenkoff of No. "a Seigel
street, saloon keeper. He failed to
appear at the saloon to clean it out, and
Resenloff went to the bath house where
he looked through the rooms and found
Kowisky lying on his face in the hot
room where the temperature was over
$50 degrees. koWislxy was practically
boiling. He was taken out and an am
bulance summoned. Surgeon Guilfoyle
of St GATHERINGS Hospital pronounced
him dead. On Kowisky's neck and hands
were several bruises. The surgeon said
that they might have been caused by
rats. The proprietor of the bath house
was taken to the Stagg street station
and questioned by Captain, Ennis. He
said he knew absolutely nothing of Ko-
wiskey's death. While the police are in
clired to believe him, he was detained
until an investigation is made. He bears
good reputation. How the boy got into
the bath house is mystery, because the
place was locked securely last night.

Good Government Club Angry Be-
cause 1Ke would Not Give Et Advice.
The Executive Committee of the Goo
Goo" Association met last night at Ar
canum Hall. and decided how they will
govern Jersey City in the future.
Corporation Attorney Weart was Sc
verely criticised for having had the au-
dac.ty to refuse to act as legal advisor
to the Goo-Goos gratuitously. He dared
tell the representatives of the associa-
ton who called on him for information
concerning the sidewalk ordinances that
he was paid to instruct the city officials
and not citizens. Mayor Wanser will be
appealed to and there is a rumor that
Goo-Goos will LeXow the CITY Attorney.
A letter was received to the effect that
the association has been admitted into
affiliated membership with the National
Municipal League. 1t was accompanied
with the request that half a dozen pub
lic-nlinded citizens who are members of
the Jersey City association send on s.
a piece towards the support Of the
league. There were no volunteers.
1t was stated that there Is at present
no law that will allow the city to col
lect fines from people who fail to clean
their sidewalks. This information was re-
ceived with surprise, and the Sidewalk
Committee was instructed, in the event
of the ver.fication of the statement, to
have such a law passed without delay.
The Union Hill Good Government Asso-
citation wrote that some of it's members
would visit their Jersey City brethren
at their next public meeting. The ad-
visibility of introducing the Philadelphia
system of handling garbage and ashes
into Jersey City was considered. In
Philadelphia the garbage is eremated,
and the ashes are used to improve the
unpaved ,thoroughfares. The plan was
looked upon with favor, but will not-be
introduced at present.

NEW YORK. Ian. H. fS95.-The build
.ngs on Park Row near James street that
have been occupied for more than
quarter of century by Jordans& Mori-
arty's furniture establishment, were bad
ly gutted by fire this morning, and Soo-
900 worth of stock destroyed. The lire
was discovered at nine o'clock. and in
less than ten minutes the flames had
spread from cellar to roof and from one
building to another. The buildings oc-
cupied by Jordan & Moriarty numbered
2o7, 2o9, 21l and 2l3 Park Row. The cause
of the blaze is unknown.
Although the loss was estimated dur
ing the excitement at s50,00O, 1t IS pc
lieved that the damage will not foot
up anything like that sum. 1t is known
that the firm has for some time been
transferring stock from the Park Row
establishment to their other store In East
Twenty third street. The buildings that
were gutted were not owned by the firm.
No. 211 belonged to q man named JACOBS,
while the Stone estate owns the other.
The loss on both is figured at $4,000.

of the oldest in the trade. They nave

IDI0TIO ANTI-PAss CLAUSE.

ALBANY, Jan. II, 1S95-The operation
of the anti-Pass provision in the new con-
stitution is readily observable about the
Capitol buildings and hotels. Although
the Legislature adjourned yesterday until
Monday evening, many members were
about the Legislative halls today.
This was not so when railroad passes
were in use. Many of the members have
favorably discussed the question of pass
ing law empowering the Secretary of
State to issue railroad passes to all State
employees when all public business.
the same which is now done the employees
of the State Railroad Commission.
One appreciated result of the anti-pass
provision is that it relieves the members
from the necessity of incurring the en-
nifty of constituents. as has heretofore
been the case when requests for passes
were rot speedily attended to- The let
tiers of the more. prominent members of
the Legislature are but half as large this
year as in former times.
