DEADLY OIL STOVE
Baby Dies From Burns Received
at an Explosion in Ho-
boken.

The explosion of an Oil stove on he
first floor of the apartf1eft HOUSE at
No. 6S Garden street. Hoboken, last
night. shortly after six o'clock, resulted
An seriously burning a fourteen months
old baby girl and a man n woman.
The child. Wilma Meyer. daughter Of
Mrs. Mary Meyer. who was also burned,
was playing on the floor in front of the
stove when 1t began to smoke. The little
thing cried out, to- attract the attention
of Fred Nolte. a young man., who boards
with Mrs. Meyer. and who was in the
room at the time.
Nolte picked the stove up to see what
made it smoke. and as he did SO it ex-
ploded in his hands. The burning oil
ran down his arms and onto the baby.
His arms were HORRIBLY burned. while
the child was burned all over the face
and body.
MOTHER BURNED ALSO.
Mrs. Meyer, who was in another room
at the time. came running in at the sound
of the explosion, and when she saw her
baby writhing in agony she rushed to 1t
and picked it up. The child's clothes
were on fire, and in putting the blaze out
Mrs. Meyer was badly burned upon the
hands. DR.. S%teadman was called in and
attended to the injured ones.
DIED IN TILE AMBULANCE.
Later in the night the child became
hysterical, and an ambulance from st.
Mary's Hospital was procured to re-
move the child. While on the way TO the
hospital the little one died.

IF anything could be termed anus
ing about SO foul an exhibition, one
might epply the word to the defence
of Mayor Wanser n his administrator
which was the feature of the editorial
TRADE. To see the Journal" which has
so frequently stabbed the Mayor in
the back, rushing to defend him from
nothing at adj, and all in the same mo-
ment throwing the worst sort of Stun
bling blocks in his way, was a sight to
make the gods laugh.
This episode displayed all the ear
m~arks-the characteristic ea~rmarks-oi
Mr.. Joe Dear. He has been blabbing
the same sort of stuff to anyone who
would listen to him, for the last day
or two.
To relieve his mental strain, it may
be explained that the reason why the
Rockaway and Hudson proposals are no
longer being seriously considered is that
they have been exhaustively considered
already, and the public officials as well
as the public at large are well satisfied
that wind. not water. is what they
chiefly offer.

MCGOWAN BUSY.
Making Great Efforts to Secure a
Compromise.
Special to the Jersey CITY Neus.

" Wv " SS9
TRENTON, Aug. Z, 1S95.-Yesterday
was another busy day for Mr.. F. A.
Mcgowan. He is making superhuman
efforts to effect a compromise by which
he can regain control of the Trenton
and Eastern Rubber factories. Those in
a position to know say that it will not
be many days before he will have them
again in his own hands.
He has promised to devote all his time
and energy to business and his friends
are very much disposed to give him the
opportunity to retrieve himself.
In talking with many business men the
writer found la the general opinion
was that Mr.. Mcgowan could do more
with the establishment than anybody
else, n if any money is made he can
do it better than others. The general
feeling appeared to be favorable to hav-
ing him resume his old position in the
business world, with the belief that the
events of the past few days would have
a tendency to cause him to take a new
start, and change his course. One gen.
tleman said that few possess the bust
ness ability and faculty for making
money that he does, and that the best
and safest thing for those who are in
yolved with him is to put hin in a po-
sition where he can recoup and save him
self and save them as well.

FEASIBLE SCHEME.
Report of the Commission
Favorable to a Ship
Canal in New Jersey.
IT WOULD NOT BE COSTLY
No Great Difficulties to Be Sur
lnounted-Estimated Cost
Of the Routes.

The commission appointed to consider
the practicability Of constructing a ship
canal, the large portion of which would
traverse the State of New Jersey, made
it's report yesterday to the Council of
Philadelphia.
This commission had considered, SO
says the engineers, L. M. Haupt and N.
III. Hutton. only two of the proposed
routes as being worthy of an instrument
tai examin alton. Both of these en-
braced the use of the Delaware River
to Bordentown, and thence across New
Jersey to Raritan Bay and the ocean at
Sandy Hook.
Within these limits two lines presented
themselves; both leaving the river at
Crosswick creek, near Bordentown, and
ascending by locks to the plateau.
Thence. once connected with he Della
ware and .Raritan Canal, a few miles
east of Trenton, followed that cana to
near Kingston; thence e~asterly by way
of Monmouth Junction to Lawrence
Brook and the Raritan River, near the
mouth of the former stream.
The difficulties attending the two cross
ings of the main line of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, and the unfavorable ma
ture of the ground between the canal
and Monmouth Junction, were decided
sufficient to render unnecessary any es-
'timate of cost by this line, though the
surveys made are sufficient for the pur-
pose if hereafter desired.
DESCRIPTION OF SECOND ROUTE.
The other route for which Mr.. Haupt
submits plans and estimates, after as
cending the plateau on the left bank
of the Delaware. follows a line nearly
parallel to the Pennsylvania Railroad,
and on the sou%theasterly side thereof,
to a point near Monmouth Junction,
where it defects e~asterly to avoid a trap
dyke, passes down the valley of Lawrence
Brook to Parsons dam (Which forms a
long pooh thence no%rtheasterly, on
higher ground, but avoiding o-utcroppings
of red shale, to the Raritan River at
Sayreville.
The total distance by this route to the
ocean near Sandy Hook is about
sev~enty-eight miles; to Battery at New
York. ninety-two miles.
BY way of Cape May and the ocean
these distances are about 260 and 274
miles respectively.
The canal proper is 81 4-10 miles long.
Across that portion of the State of
4N6W JGISSy Which, - II " iulA(

line of the Pennsylvania Railroad; and

there exists a Typographical trough or
depression, having a general elevation
above the sea level of from go to 100
feet, as compared with general elevations
of from 200 to 800 feet on either side.
ESTIMATED COST.
Don 10th ro,tac Tho -aaort oiuac a do
tailed estimate of cost for comparison.
In making up these figures the engineers
count on a dam on the Delaware to fur
nish the water supply for the elevated
position of the canal.

Victor Maurel, the famed baritone who
sung in New York last year, has writ

is becoming a rather tiresome subject,
but one must look on it as a compliment
and not a ban probably. However, in
these chapters of observation he tells a

one of the old Boston families, the son
OF an esteemed artist and himself a
painter who had exhibited with success
at Paris and London. AIT the end of the
concert the royal guest, with his charm
ing candor of manner and tina bon-
homme SO well known among those who

singer and offered her his arm to escort
her to the buffet. There was a murmur
OF establishment among the noble lad
les who were present, but it was only
of short duration. The artists betrothed
noticed the glances. Pale and agitated,
he followed this scene, of which he
could not fail to discover the meaning,
until, turning to him without embarrass-
ment, the Dung singer said smilingly:
