SUING FOR HIS SONS DEATH.
Antonio Lisa Claims That Antonio
Monaco Killed His Egss.

Antonio Lisa, of No. e32 Grand street,
Hoboken, brought suit this morning in
the Circuit Court for 5000 damages
against Antonio Monaco, for the loss of a
boy ID years old, who. he claims, died
from the results of a beating at Monaco's
hands. The alleged beating took place
on August Is, and the boy died yesterday.
On August Is, Lisa claims, his little boy
went into a stable on the premises at
No. 632 Grand street kept by Monaco.
While there Monaco, it is claimed, set
upon the boy and beat him severely. This
is the story the boy. told when he went
home to his father. Monac says the boy
was in the stable stealing apples, and
the peddler who owned the apples threw
one, hitting the boy over the heart. The
boy has been ailing ever since his visit
to the stable. The father claims that his
death is directly due to the injuries he
received there.
The father sues for. 5000 damages for
loss of the boys services. The police took
no action in the matter, and no criminal
action has been taken on the matter as
vet.

H0B0KEN'S HEALTH BOARD.
1t is After VioIators of the City,s
ENeaEfh Ordinances.

The Hoboken Board of Health held a
meeting last night at which they decided
not to remit the fines of persons con-
yicted of violating health ordinances. and
who. pleaded ignorance of the law. The
Board has found out hat certain people
have been deceiving them. Drivers and
teamsters violate the health ordinances
and then plead ignorance of the law, hard
times and other excuses, to gain a re-
m~ittance of their fines from the Board.
The Board also called to account min
listers, Justices of the Peace, and others
who exercise marrying powers, for not
making marriage returns in proper form.
In the returns much necessary data is
omitted. For instance, when the con-
tracing parties hail from New York city,
Brooklyn or some other large and popu-
lous metropolis, the minister or justice.
often simply writes New York. or
brooklyn in giving the address and
omits the street and number. Hereafter
Hoboken ministers will have to be more
exact under penalty of a fine of $40, which
will be enforced.

At the meeting of the Police Board yes
terday afternoon. Henry McDevitt, OF the
Fourth precinct, was fined one days pay
for failure to perform a duty he had been
assigned to.
Captain McKaig,s a few nights ago, was
notified that two stray horses were cut
ting up all kinds of pranks in a ten acre
lot in the wilds of his precinct. He at
once detailed McDevitt to catch the ami
mails. McDevitt started out with all the
zeal of a cowboy.
For an hour he chased the thorough
breds. They gambolled about the lot, al
lowing McDevitt to get no closer than a
hundred yards to them. McDevitt kept
up the chase for another half hour, at
intervals making use of language that
made the Salvation Army barracks in the
distance tremble. Becoming discouraged
and demanded that a lariat be sent to
him Thu sergeant replied that such an
article was not provided for in the rules
of the department.
IF I am to catch these animals l must
have a ~lariat," shouted McDevitt.
He was told he must catch the horses
with his hands, his feet, his eloquence,
or anything he had with him, but no
lariat could he have from the station
house.
McDevftt went at it again, but with
40 success. Covered with mud and his
Irish blood at boiling heat, he returned
to the station house and shouted to the
sergeant thai he'd be ID if he be-
lieved he had been hired to catch
Skates"
The sergeant l~aughingly remarked that
1t made all the difference in the world
what kind of skates he meant.
A hot argument ensued and another
policeman was sen out to catch the ami
mails. He did so and in triumph drove
them to the station house and suisse
quently to a stable.
McDevitt had the sympathy of the Com
missioners, but they told him he would
have to sacrifice one days pay in order
that the reputation of the department.
for discipline might be sustained.
Indeed" remarked Commissioner
Feeney, hes not the first policeman to
be thrown down by the ponies.o

should be devoted to this exercise to ac-
conaplish the desired results. To snhaie
long. deep breaths while slowly raising
fhe arms above the head, and to exhale as
slowly while lowering them, is one of she
best breathing exercises ever invented.
The practice of breathing very deeply
while walking IN the open air Is recon-
but IS one Of the best cures for obesity,
as the increased amount of oxygen great
~ augments the consumption of waste
material.
