arrest of S. n. Hamilton. who had been

resulted in which the other man was badly

reason for believing that the man might die

Star Chambers in Hoboken Con-
Quoted With Much Noise
and No Result.

The Board of Public Instruction Of Hol
boken last night held a special meeting,
which was called by President Russ.
President Russ has had a consultation
at Trenton with State Superintendent of
Schools Baxter, concerning the Boards
effort to get the Common Council of Ho-
poken to provide school accommodations
IN the First ward of that city. Many
residents OF that part of the city who
are taking a decided interest in the
matter, were in attendance.
It was decided by the Commissioners.
after some elaboration, to hold the meet
ing behind closed doors. The proceed
ings were consequently kept from he
public. II was the prevailing opinion
continued to hold star chamber meetings
they would incur the same displeasure
from the citizens of Hoboken as the
Council has incurred.
At nine o'clock the Commissioners left
the regular meeting room and crossed
the hall to one of the class rooms. They
had been in the class room but a short
time when It was evident, from the
amount OF noise that came from the
room. that there was a lively time going
on inside. President Russ could be heard
emphasizing his remarks by many pound
ings on the desk. 1t was the opinion of
those outside that the President was ex-
cited. Other members of the Board could
be heard talking but their words were
unintelligible.
After the star chamber performance
was over Mr.. Russ said that Tie meet
Board did not care at present to make
known to the public what happened.
Neither did he care to acquaint the pub
ton. He said the Board would hold a
regular meeting mex Monday night, when
the public would AVE a chance to hear
the matter discussed. He also said that
the public Indignation meeting, which
has been postponed, would then be ar
ranged for and perhaps it would be held
in conjunction with the next meeting Of
the Council. He said the Board would
probably attend the meeting and have
something to say.

President Cleveland's speech at Prince
Ion University, yesterday, was exalted in
Its tone and profound in its perception OF
moral obligations. It had that air of in
tpiration, the offspring of strong moral
Conviction. which characterizes all Presi-
Hent Cleveland's utterances, and which
gives them a dignity and impressiveness
bhat mere verbal graces could never pro-
Huce.
The address was suitable to the occa-
tion in that it dealt entirely with general
principles. It possessed an atmosphere of
academic calm. It was far above the tur-
mol and passion of mere political discus
pion.
And yet it complied with the patriotic
Sequirendents of the occasion by stimulat-
ing the moral sense of the people in the
direction where wisdom, honor and duty
fall them.
From some of his pregnant sentences
may be deduced the considerations which
JHouid control all voters in the present

Besides the National issues there are

campaign. The former. though not
new, is of more than common urgency on
account Of the progress which has been
made IN the fight against the railroads,
under Democratic leadership.
The representatives of this fight in this

Despotism of Bryanism.

A controversy arose in Norwich, Conn.
between the proprietor of the Nickel ane
Brass Works of that city. General Willis
A. Aiken. and the Daily Index the
local Popocratic organ. 1t referred to
an alleged shut down of the works and
attempted intimidation Of the employees.
AT the close of a letter denying the Popo-
cratic organs libellous assertions, General
Aiken said;-
Had you sent your reporter here to con-
firm outside intelligence you could nave
had an item which would nave been at the
same time exhaustive and true. 1t the
same time I would not imply tina I ac-
knowledge responsibility to any news
ape for the policy of these works as to
running or stopping, as may seem best.
The editor of the Index rejoined with
this threat, which, printed in double leads
and ~bracketed, was appended to the
Generals Communication
But so far as the closing sentence of
MT. Aiken's letter is concerned. that
gentleman may as well make up his mind
newspapers, viii hold him and all other
manufacturer to a very strict ~accounta-
biity for the policy of their works as to
running or stopping as may seem best
after the principles of the Democratic
party are put into practice, through legis-
iation, under the anti-monopoly admins
zration of William Jennings Bryan

From this it would appear that. when
Bryan is elected. the Government is to
assume the dictation of ali business en-
terprises. Presumably it will exercise the
same authority over their employees. In
other words, we are to have a fraternal
despotism instead of a republic.

WHY MARY LEFT SNAKE HILL.

Mary Growney, a young woman who
was doing thirty days in Snake Hill, yes
terday escaped from the Jail and went
to her home. No. so Adams street, Ho-
boken. Here she was found by Detective
Fenton and arrested. She was brought
before Recorder MeDonough this morn
ing and asked what she had to say for
herself. She said. between sobs, that
she had only eleven days of her term
still to serve. and as her brother-in-law
had died she thought it would be no
harm to leave the Hill and return home
and console her sister in her bereave-
ment.
The Recorder said It would have been
better had she not bothered with her sis
ter's troubles and had contented herself
in Jail for the remaining eleven days. AS
things now looked she would probably
have to content herself in Jail for eleven
months instead OF eleven days.
AS the Recorder had no Jurisdiction in
the matter she was remanded for the
Grand Jury.
