MYSTERIOUS WATER BOARD.
Hoboken,s Commissioners Flee when
No Man Persueth.

The membe of the Hoboken Water
Board are evidently afraid of the light
of publicity. Last evening 1t was learned
that the Board was in session When
a News" reporter entered the Regis
trar's Office, where the meeting was be-
ing held, all business ceased, n the
commissioners appeared to be in a trance.
No one spoke for some time. and when
one Of them did it was in reference to
the snow storm.
1t was evident that whatever business
was in progress was to be kept from the
newspapers. After putting away on their
cigars for some minutes oneso the COM
missioners gave a queer look toward the,
reporter and all hands filed into another
room and locked the door behind them.
They came out shortly afterward, and
Commissioner Dynan was asked the OBJ
ject Of the meeting. He that
the Board was simply considering a
Water Company. Commissioner Offer
man said that the Board was trying to
get things into shape. What the things
were he refused to divulge, except to say
that they were of little Importance.
Registrar Lohmann said that no meet
ing had been called, but that the mem
bers of the Board had simply met in the
hall outside, n they decided to go into
the office, where they would be alone and
nave a friendly chat.
Every member, however, was in his
seat when the reporter entered, and their
coats were off and each had q very busi-
nesS-llke appearance on his face.

ATLANTIC CITY, Dec. "a, 1S96.-The
Atlantic County Bar was interested and
amused over Supreme Court Justice Lud-
lows innocence of the v~ernacular of the
street during a session of the Criminal
Court on Tuesday.
A colored youth in knickerbockers was
on the stand and told the Court that
he started to run when some one called
out: Cheese it; they are coming
The Court interrupted the witness
and started a ripple of laughter with
the query: Mfr. Cheese IT. Who is he?
He has not figured in his case"
The witness explained what was meant,
and in the next breath talked of the
cops" This was another poser for the
Justice which required explanation, and
he tripped up again the youth
spoke of having been arrested for shoot
ing crap" The Judge rubbed his head
and it required considerable explanation
before he could grasp the information
on this point, which was rendered by
Prosecutor Perry.
