IS THIS A FRAUD 2

In many of the saloons and stores in
this city there is a small imitation of a
ballot box. On the top of the box are
these words:-Maternity Hospital Fund
Help the Babies to Build their new home
Care for the little ones. Every nickel
buys a brick and these legends ap-
pear again on the glass jar underneath.
Therei a slit for the coins and a chain
and paddock secures the lid. It may be
all right, but the absence of the location
of the proposed home and names of re-
sponsible people connected with it lead
to the supposition that an investigation
won't do any harm. 'sThe Jersey City
News will look into the matter and ad-
vises its readers not to contribute until
they know more about the Hospital, and
at the same time advises those store
keepers who have one not to surrender
them to any parties until the result of
the investigation is published in these
columns

MR.. VOORHEES, QUALITIES.

To the Editor of "The Jersey City News !:
In your issue of the 7th inst. you have
quoted me as saying, 81 am strongly in
favor of a new water supply. No sub
ject is Of greater importance at the pres
ent moment
What I did say to your gentlemanly
reporter was that while favored a
new water supply, I was opposed to the
award now under consideration
Considering the present large debt, and
high rate of taxation in Jersey City, it
seems to me to be more important that
the city should secure at the lowest posi-
BILE figure. a proper. supply, than that
also believe that competent hy-
draulic engineer, without entanglements
carefully into the merits and dement's
of the different propositions submitted
and report the result of his Investigations
before any award is made.

LONDON, May 8. 1ss5.-An extraor-

Commons today, which, for few min
utes, created great commotion. The
House was debating the bill offered by
Mr.. Edmund Knox, member for West

speech, when O'Donovan Rosa, who
had occupied a seat under the Strang-

loud voice said:-s'An assassin's blow

CANANDAlGUA'S CLOUD BUST.
Fearful Condition of the storm Swept
Regfon-RaiIroads Hrmpeded.

CANANDAIGUA, N. Y, May s. 1885,
News continues to come in from the
Middlesex Valley that establishes the
fact that last nights cloudburst in the
vicinity of lMiddlesex, near the head of
Canandaigua Lake, was one of great
extent and damage.
CanandaiguanS who came through this
morning from Naples state that the con-
dition of the storm-stricken locality is
something that must be seen to be re-
allied. Whole fields of tsown crops are
spoiled, and the ground will be utterly
useless to till this season.
Near West River the tracks of the
out SO that it win be necessary. to re-
ballast for over four miles. Trains can
be run over that section only at the
slowest possible speed Several Gull
verts We're washed out, and the remain
der are filled up.
The area of the storm was over five
miles and damage to crops and fruit is
drreparable.
The report that the Rushvi1le freight
house was burned is untrue, but light
ming did considerable damage to other
property, and telephone and telegraph
wires were burned ont here and at all
Of the offices in this vicinity. On the
Middlesex Valley Railroad, during the
storm, the tracks were flooded and
debris accumulated sufficient to stop. the
trains several times Buildings were
washed away from their foundations
and wood piles were washed away in
artificial creeks formed by the immense
volume of water.

SPANS GUARANTEED CRUISER.

WASHINGTON, May 5, 1ss5.-The ac-
ton of the Florida State Health authori-
ties in refusing to release the Spanish
cruiser Infanta Isabella, which they
detained for violation of the quarantine
laws at MuHet Key, is likely to cause
considerable embarrassment to the
United States Government, if not to the
State of Florida.
Secretary Carlisle's telegram to the
State Health officer directing him to re-
lease the cruiser was sent after consul
tation with and on the advice of the
State Department, which held that the
detention was contrary to treaty stlpu-
lation.
This Government has protested many
times against the action of foreign gov
ernunents in auarantining United States
naval vessels, and cannot, therefore,
consistently do to others what it deems
to be wrong to itself. If the Infanta
Isabella is not released promptly, it Is
likely that some vigorous measures will
be taken by the Federal Government to
prevent a repetition of the incident.

WOMEN DGNOUNCB It.
Frank Expressions About Pas
sale Water and Its
Domestic Use.

More Jersey City women express today
their opinions of Passaic water. WHAT
they say shows how badly the domestic
economy of households in this city IS
affected by the use of the "stringy, black
stuff" pumped from the Passaic. Filter
boil and buy seems to be the routine
treatment of the water question in most
households, with the moral certainty
that whatever comes out of the pipes
the water taxes must be paid just the
same.
Mrs. Creveling of Jersey avenue:-"I
am obliged to buy drinking water, and
often to filter or strain the water pc
fore it is fit for bathing purposes.
Mrs. Ellison of Jersey avenue, prop
erty owner:-eThe water is not mt Tor

poses. I buy drinking water"
Mrs. Spring of Jersey avenue:-"The
Passaic water is filthy and I find it en-
tirely unfit for use
Mrs. Cairns of Hamilton place, prop
erty owner:-tDuring the winter l have
been able to use the Passaic water after
it has been filtered. Last summer and
fall I bought drinking water, and now
as the water is getting bad again /

too black for use either for laundry or
washing purposes, and the clothes wash

with it last summer. use it for both
drinking and washing purposes"
Mrs. ). T. Edwards, Bergen avenue:-
sI think the Passaic water bad in odor,
taste and color. I have trouble with it

ANTI-S0OIALIST BILL.
Hohenlohe Addresses the Chamber
VIII Not Pass Unamended.
By Gable to the United Press.


BERLIN, May 8. 1s95.-In the Reich
stag, today, Doctor Won Buchka waived
the right to read the report of the com
mission on the anti-revolution bill, where
upon the President Immediately gave
notice to that effect to Chancellor Won
Hohenlohe who was awaiting the con-
clusion of the reading in order to adj
dress the Chamber. Prince Hohenlohe
arose and began his speech, the mem
bers giving him the closest attention.
The Chancellor declared that the Gov
ernment had introduced the anti-revo-
lution bill in compliance with the de-
mands of a great popular movement
throughout Germany last summer. He
was now astonished to see that those
who had been the noisest in their clamor
for the measures proposed in the bill
We're now disclaiming any, connection
he was especially amazed that a large
class of poets, thinkers and savants were
afraid of its provisions. The Govern
ment, he said. did not intend to inter-
fere with art or science, and he hoped
that some positive result would be the
fruit of the debate.
tor Barth. h. Radical Unfon:st, arguing its
rejection.
The galleries were not so much crowd
ed as they We're yesterday, the excite
ment having subsided.
The consensus of opinion is that most
of the para agraphs will be rejected.
Baron von Manteuffel, Conservative,
said that unless the Conservative amend
ment to Paragraph were adopted the
Conservatives would oppose the whole
bill. The danger of revolution, he de-
clared, had not passed. The present
mood of the Socialists to keep within
the law was only a blind.
Herr Auer, Social Democrat, ridiculed
at length the kind of offenses which
the bill paralyzed. His party, he said,
disowned all Anarchistic theories, which
were were long since dead, except for the
to stir up.
Herr Auer was severely called to or
der by the President for saying that 1t
of the bill were endeavors to produce a

that smoke was pouring out of the
basement hallway.
An investigation was made Immediate

paper saturated with oil had been placed
under the beams of the cellar stairs and
ignited.
