DR.. ALIENS SCHOOL.
The Nearest Gin Mill Is Only
400 Feet Away-There
Are Many Others
Near.

Pratt's Hall, which is owned by DR.
Allen, the president of the Board of Edu;
cation. is two doors away from a saloon.
With one exception saloons are to be me,
by anyone desiring to go to the hall, no
matter from what direction the visitor
may come. This building DR.. Allen has
offered to the city for school purposes
at a rental of $50 a month.
In December, 1895, ex-Freeholder Her
mann Neuinann applied to. the Board OF
Aldermen for a liquor license for a saloon
to be opened at the corner Of the Boule-
ward and Zabriskie street. HIS applica-
ton was acted favorably upon and Mayor
Wanser had promised to sign the license,
but was induced to change his mind by
the protests Of DR.. Allen. The President
Of the Board Of Education said at the
time thai the location was not a fit one
for a saloon, as No. Is school vas just
around the corner. He said that it would
be demoranzing if young children had to
pass a saloon on their way to school. In
this stand he was backed up by a ma
jority of the board and the eachers of
the school were instructed to secure sig
natures to a petition protesting against
the granting Of a license. This was done
by each scholar being given a slip of
paper which they were told to have signed
by their parents. One of these slips was
returned unsigned by Mr.. Neumann's
daughter and her teacher upbraided her,
but said nothing when the little one re-
piled: DO you think / am a fool? Ny
papa IS the MAJ who wants the license
Neumann did not get his license and he
had to sell the Building at a loss of sew
eral hundreds of dollars. The b1ifld;np
against which the protest was made is in
the rear of the school and its entrance
and hat of the school are about $50 feet
apart. The distance between the entrance
to Pratts Hall and that Of the nearest
saloon is not 100 feet, and the. neighbor-
nondescript character.
The, President of the Board Of Educa-
ton bought Pratt's Hall for s1.475, and
claims to be expanding as much more for
improvements. After the repairs are
completed the city can lease 1t for $50
a month.
Louis Allen, an attache of the surro-
gates office. formerly held an Interest in
the. building and on Tuesday made the
statement that the average rental re-
celved for the building was s23 a month.
A prominent real estate dealer who has
resided on the Heights all his life, said;-
"Pratts Hall, outside Of its inherent de-
reefs, is not suitable located for a school
as Il is too far to the east. The school
should be located more in the neighbor-
mood of North street and Summit avenue
There is st. Johns Lutheran Church IN
that corner which | have no doubt could
pc ieased at a reasonable figure. And If
that building cannot be had why doesn't
the city build on the two lots that it owns
on Jefferson avenue? These lots were
taken for -non-payment Of taxes and !
perfectly suitable building can be erected
at a cost not to exceed $40, 000."

WILLIAM D. DAILY A DEFENDANT
Damages wanted the ssna-

Spec10t 10 tnG Jersey GUY NeHG-
TRENTON, Dec. II, lSs8.-The case OF
John B. Fin against Senator William
D. Daily was tried before Justice Cum
mere, at the Court House, yesterday
morning. The case has been upon the
calendar unmoved for several years: ii
was tried without a jury yesterday, Lin
ton Sattherthwait representing the
plaintiff, n w. Holt Apgar the defend
ant.
The difference that led up to the suit
came about in this way: During the
holidays of 1898, the plaintiff. who con-
ducts a preparatory school in Princeton,
wrote to Senator DAILY, who's son had
been one of his pupils, asking him If he
intended to send his boy back after the
holidays, and stating that he had an
other applicant In the event of young
Days withdrawal. The Senator is al
legged to have photographed that the boy
was to return
AS a matter OF fact, the boy did not
come back, and the plaintif was dam
aged to the extent of $3.50, less the
amount q. board. The claim was, there
fore, about $500.
The defence was a denial Of any con-
tract under which there arose a liability.

The Society of Consecrated Talent, of
which MISS Margaret Hilton Hard IS
Superintendent, gave an entertainment
last night in the Assembly Hal of the
Peoples Palace. The room was com
fortably filed. Miss Hard was intro

Cuban War, two of his sons are now
fighting in cuba, and he felt hat he mus
attend a meeting of his committee which
was recently called for last night. Mss
Hard said she had done the best she
could. She said later that the date han
convenience, and she thought there was
really no Excuse for his non-appearance:
All the talent with the exception Of the
orchestra were late in arriving. and the
orchestra, a harp, a flute and three Vie
Inns, entertained the audience with a nurl-
Der of selections very weA played. Miss
Kahn CAV some dramatic recitations,
and Mr.. Eyert Jansen Wendell, of the
New York Comedy Club, gave a number
and Cox" concluded the entertainment.
1t was acted by Miss Bessie Shepard, Mr..
Joseph Smith and Mr.. ]. Melville Chester
of the Englewoed Dramatic Club. The
actors as well as the audience seemed to
derive a great deal of amusement from
the play. The lines seemed to trouble
the gentlemen somewhat but they made

There was a big fire in Hoboken last
night. Policeman Fall; while on post al
$50 o'clock, looked in the planning mil Of
N Randall, at the southeast corner of
Newark STREET and Willow avenue. and saw
that the place was ablaze. He Immediate
ly sent in an alarm, and Engines Nos. /
and 8 and the Chemical Engine responded
When the engines arrived the building
was all ablaze and lighted up the entire
lower part of the city. The building was
of wood and one-story high. ri adjoined
on the Willow street site a dwelling house
and on the Newark street side a feed
store owned by Wolvert & Co. 1t looked
at one time as if these buildings. both Of
Which are of wood would be burned. but
the work of the fremen kept the fire con-
nned to the planning mill. They had it I'M
der control after an hours work. During
this time the Willow and Grove street
cars We're blocked, as hose was stretched
across the tracks.
In the rear Of the feed place IS 4 board
ing stable, kept by r. Francis, in which
were twenty horses. The stable became
filed with smoke, and it was with great
difhculty that the horses were. gotten out.
They were turned loose and wandered
about the streets till they were caught
and taken in care by their owners.
One horse owned by Louis Freedman, of
NO. 34 Newark street, was found by
Henry Rathjen, he took 1t to his
stable at No. IS Park avenue. Freedman
called for his horse, but Rathjen would
not give 1t up. Freedman went to the po-
lice station n Roundsman Hammond
gave him a note to Rathjen ordering him
to give the horse to the owner, Rathjen
told Freedman tina he would not give
up the horse unless he was paid a dollar
for keeping the hbrse two hours. Freed
man did not feel like paying the dollar
and stood for a half hour trying to induce
Rathjen TO give him his horse. Rathjen,
however, refused to do SO, and said:@"If
you want your horse come around in the
morning with the money and you can
have him"
The cause Of the fire has not been dis
covered. There was a great quantity of
valuable wood in the building which will
be a total loss.

fine residence on Beacon avenue, near
the Hudson Boulevard. Early in the
spring the Alderman purchased eleven
lots on Beacon avenue, two Of which
have been set aside for his residence.
On the other nine he intends to erect
as many houses Of the most approved
design. The residence will be trimmed
in. hardwood, with parquet floors in the
principal rooms, all details being worked
out upon the most modern designs n
methods. The building will be steam
heated throughout and set far enough
back from the street lline to allow a
display Of lawn in the front.

The snow storm and the streets.

Beyond all dispute, many property own
ers and residents Of this city are most
negligent in the matter Of clearing the
streets when a heavy snowfall occurs,
and the police appear TO make no feason-
able effort to stimulate them TO obedience
to the ordinance. Last evening, and sven
this morning. the sidewalks were inipas-
sable, or almost so, in many places, both
on the Hill ana down town. This is not
counting unimprored property either. It
Is true Of locations where every house is
built and occupied.
In some places. residents nave contented
themselves with cutting narrow gullies
through the snow, mere foot paths. This
u almost as bad as doing nothing. 1t
promises an intolerable condition when
the thaw comes. The sidewalks should
be fully cleared. and the property owners
should be compelled 70 open a trench
along the curbstone, SO that when the
thaw comes the water would flow down
to the sewers. The city should see to
1t that the receiving basins are opened.
IN this way, the discomforts Of the thaw
might be fn~iniinized.
Another thing that the city and the
Traction Company might cooperate IN
doing Is the opening Of cross walks at
prominent corners. where great numbers
81 persons enter n leave the ears.
This Is to a large extent the city's az
fair, But the traction company has some
responsibility in ii. because It's sweepers
pile up the snow so as to make it i'm
possible 70 reach or leave the cars with
out plunging into deep drifts.
Speaking Of the Traction Company, a
complimentary word is in order respect

her paramour, IN Newark, will not leave
the State prison for three or four DAYS.
She will need this time to get ready for
her trip to Cincinnati, where she intends
going to reside with her father, William
A.. Riker. The prison AUTHORITIES were
not fully prepared for her release. and
proper clothing will have to be made for
her to go out into the world. The woman
Is happy over her pardon, and Head
Keeper Moore, Matfon Leeds and Prison
Chaplain Maddox are all convinced that
she is a thoroughly reformed woman. Her
object In going to Cincinnati Is to avoid
the companions she had during her way
ward life in Newark.
Harry Engle, the ifteen-year-old son of
Emma, was at the prison yesterday morn
ing. He came on from Cincinnati. where
ne had been living with his grandfather,
TO see his mother, and will return with
her. He will stop at the prison until her
actual release. The woman is now prac-
ticaily free. but is staying IN the prison

and did not care to be interviewed. She
has been under. the doctors care for a
year past, but with no special disease. 1t
Is rather that she is not a very strong
woman, and she was not able to do much
work in the prison: She could not run a
sewing machine an entire day without her
strength entirely giving Out.
Emma has no money, and her expenses
to Cincinnati will be paid through a sub
scription which Is being taken up at the
prison. Keeper Moore said that two per-
sons had each contributed S., and he
thought about $50 would be raised alto
gether.
The boy Engle was, according to EN-
mas story, born as the result of her se-
duction by the son Of an employer for
whom she worked before she began her
relations with Brown. The name Woods
she assumed Her father, William A
