INTERESTING LETTERS.
Communications Which Accom-
pany Donations to the
Free Bath Fund.

To the Editor of 1.-THE Jersey City
News
In my weekly reports I have given
only the names of those, with thelr
amounts, who nave contributed TO TINS
worthy public charity. 1 have not re-
ported the interesting letters accompany
ing the donations received from the
friends of the cause. If l had done II
your readers would have had quite a
volume of words that glow With good
things about the Peoples Palace phi
lanthropic work in the free bath move-
ment.
Those letters will be filed away for
future reference, and in the books OF
the Peoples Palace the names OF the
donors will be recorded as having con-
tributed to this beneficent work. Those
who are favored with the blessings OF
the sea shore, ountai streams, or Who
have fine bath rooms in their homes,
know how to ~sympathize with the thou>
sands who have not the privileges or
such bathing facilities. 1t is gratifying
to receive those letters of Communications
and encouragement to know the work is
appreciated, and that there are citizens
who willingly help it along. There IS
one fact the public will be glad to know,
viz: that the Board of Managers Will
not run into debt. We must pay as We
go, and this is the reason so many earn
est appeals have been made.
The 'pay-as-you-go-principle," strictly
adhered to, enables the Peoples Palace
to do only the work provided for, more
funds more work. While the contribu-
tions received his summer have not paid
for the baths at a nickle a piece, we be-
lieve our friends will respond before the
season closes so as to enable US to say all
expenses have been met. During the
week ending Friday, 18th, 1874 baths were
given making a total to date of S,0S4.
/ hope TO have many donations to ac-
knowledge in my next report and shall
look a~nxtousiy for them.

BLOODY ARRAY AT ATLANTIC.
Three ExcursiOnists Fight With
Knives in a Bath House.

Special to the jersey City Netcs.
ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 10, 1894 ter
rible duel with knives occurred Saturday
afternoon at the Oceanic baths, on the
boardwalk, near Mississippi avenue, in
which three men were terribly cut and
gashed. Martin Welsh. the most seriously
injured of the trio, caused the arrest of his
two as~sailants, and all, including the com
plainant, are locked up.
There were two large excursions here that
day, one composed of the employ ees of
Cramps shipyard, and the other of the en-
ployees of Dobson's carpet mills, Falls of
Schuylkill. Martin Welsh belonged to the
latter excursion, and while occupying a bath
room with Frank and Leo Welsh, strangers
to him, who were down with the Cramp ex-
c%ursion, the three men got into a war of
words.
Blows soon followed, Inc a moment later
a free fight was on in the narrow confines of
the bath room. Martin Welsh was knocked
down and kicked in the face by his two OPP
ponents. Then Welsh drew a knife ard
made a vicious slash with it, almost severing
one of his assailant's hands from his arm.
The others also drew knives and Martin
received several ugly cuts about the face,
one missing his eye only by a hairs breadth.
1t was a duel to the death, and death would
undoubtedly have resulted had not the
sounds of the struggle attracted a crowd OF
men uponthe scene.
They forced open the door of the room in,
which the fighting was going on. Martin
Welsh and Frank Welsh lay upon the floor
in a pool of blood, locked in each others
arms, and making vicious slashes at each
other with the knives, to which they still
chung. Dancing around them was Leo
Welsh, who was covered with blood, and
seeking for a chance TO kick Martin.
! They were all so weak from the loss of
blood that they could offer but little resist
ance when the police, who had been sum-
moned, arrived.

WHERE IS HADEs?
Different Ideas as to the Location of
the Internal Regions.

The ancient philosophers were of the
opinion that the internal regions were
located at an equal distance from all
parts of the earth's surface, which may
be the foundation for the modern idea
which locates hell at the centre of our
planet. This belief in a centrally located
| place of torment or utter humiliation app
pears to nave existed among the Jews at
a very early date also. According to
their belief. there were three passages
leading to it+-thed wilderness, by which
route Dathans Koran uand ADRIAN de-
scended the sea, because eit is written that
Jonah cried to God ont of sthe belly of
hell. and a third passage which last was
at Jerusalem. 80 .s11pF
The third and last ideaoof the mouth of

G DISCHARGED.
Justice Lippincett Files Two Opin-
ions To-day.

Justice Lipplncott this morning filed two
opinions with the County Clerk. One was
in the case of Clementeo Deleo VS.. Fideleo
Ferro, in tort, and the bail of Ferro is re-
duced to $3.50.
The remaining opinion is that G. F. Matt
lege & Sons VS.. Julius Bergof, argued on
Friday last. Justice Lippincott holds that
the aifidavits are insufficient on which to
base the order of arrest of Bergof and the
Court sets aside the order to mold him on
bail and discharges hin from custody.

The proceedings were taken in the Spauish courts, records found to be forgeries, and Reavis was adjudged guilty thereof, His arrest was ordered, and having made his escape, because of very formal and slew method of procedure by the Spanish officials, he was in con sequence declared by the court to be a fugitive from justice.

Hon. W. c. Whitney, recently re, turned from abroad, is quoted by New York dispatch as saying:
 sThc feeling in favor of bimetal- lism is very much stronger in England than in this country. Even conservative statesmen are in favor of it. The boards of trade of the great manufacturing towns, such as Birming ham and Manchester, have passed res olulions favoring the adoption of q double standard. All through England influential men are taking this stand. Manager Liddendale of the Bank of England is one of those who believe the question should speedily be settled at an international convention This country, however, should wait until the whole question has been discussed at such convention"
