WANTS THE SOUTH COVE.
Prominent Merchant Seeks Room TO
Store His Boats.

The Street and Water Board Commits
sioners have received an offer for the
use of the South Cove for at least over
the winter. 1t came this morning and
was from a very prominent owner of
tugboats and barges, whose name for
obvious reasons is at present withheld.
He asks the city to rent the South Cove
to him for period of about four to six
months for the purpose of laying up his
boats and other craft there for the win
ter. The Commissioners have not given
any answer, but as the proposition is a
good one since there is no probability of
anyone else wanting it just at present,
the Board will rent. undoubtedly, the
tract to the applicant.
Nothing further has been done with the
offer of the Central Railroad and Amesi-
can Sugar Refining Company, which Mr..
w. D. Edwards outlined at the recent
conference with the city officials about
promised that if they were assured that
there would be no obstacles placed in
their path by the city they would con-
slider the feasibility of the scheme to
build docks at a lease of fifty years, at
the end of which the city would own all.
The city having looked favorably. on the
suggestion it is expected that in a few
days Mr.. Edwards, who has charge of
the legal matters affecting the tract, will
be in position to present a definite Of
fer for the occupation of the grant.
The offer made today by the barge
owner is only for temporary use, and
has no bearing whatever on the main
proposition of the syndicate.

PAY UP YOUR WATER BILLS.
Delinqucnts Are to BE Sued = The
Mayor Takes n Hand.

mayor Fakes a Hand.
Mayor Hoos had a consultation with
Water Assessor John Kenny, this morn
ing, about the water rents. AS every
body knows the rents are greatly in
arrear and many of them extend back
for long period of years. the result
naturally being that when one didn't pay,
! others said they wouldn't and SO there
the city for unpaid water account running
into the thousands of dollars.
Mayor Hoos thinks that such state OF
things is disgraceful and extremely un-
businesslike and he is determined to make
an effort to secure the collection of the
arrearages. For that purpose he called in
ex-Judge Kenny and explained his views.
why I KNOW said the Mayor, "of a
| gentleman in New York, a man high up
and very wealthy who stuck his water
bill i'll his pocket and went off into the
country forgetting all about it. On his
return a few days ago he was astonished
to find that the city had cut off his
water. Now that's business and I can't
see why we in Jersey City cannot do the
same If people won't pay their bills cut
off their water and sue then.''
Mr.. Kenny agreed that something
should be done to bring the tardy ones to
time and he assured the Mayor that today
he would send out final notice to the
delinquents and if they didn't pay up he
would be after them with a legal stick.
Since the ex-Judge is very much man OF
his word there is trouble ahead for some
one.

GYPSY'S BRIDE.
Horse Expert Robinson and
Miss Louise Fraubeek
Temporarily Missing.

The residents of the Hudson City Sec
tion are all excited over the rumor that
Gypsy Robinson has married his next
door neighbor, Miss Louisa Fraubeck.
Robinson is sixty-five years old, and is
the father OF six children, all of whom
have passed their majority His bride,
! if the general belief is well founded, is
twenty years his Junior. The current
story is founded purely on circumstantial
evidence, but this is so strong that it
has convinced Mr.. Robinson's son David,
who, when interviewed last night, said he
believed his father had married Miss
Fraubeck
Gypsy Robinson is well known resi-
dent of the Heights, where for years he
has conducted horse business at Blocker
street and Passaic avenue. 1t is said
that he has gypsy blood in his veins. Be
that as it may, it is certain that he has
many of the characteristics of the race.
No more skillful horse trader can be found
in Jersey City. By the judicious swapping
of horses Gypsy Robinson has amassed
a comfortable fortune. Part if it is invest
ed in property on the Heights and part in
drove of valuable animals. He also

near New Brunswick. 1t is said that it
is to this farm that he has taken Miss
Fraubeck as his bride.
What leads the neighbors and relatives
of the couple to believe that they are
married is that they both disappeared
from their homes on Saturday night last,
at about 10 o'clock. Neither has been
seen since, but word has been received
from Robinson that he is at his farm.
Robinson and his sons keep a stable at
Blocker street and Passaic avenue. At
Passaic avenue and South street Miss
Fraubeck and her two sisters kept small
grocery store. The sisters are continue
ming the business in the absence of Miss
Louise The back yard of the grocery is
separated from Robinson's stable yard by
a low board fence. 1t is said that the
romance began and was continued to its
climax over that fence.
Miss Fraubecks sister Caroline, it IS
said, objected to the courtship of MIR.
Robinson because of his gypsy origin.
Miss Caroline when seen by reporter,
last night, refused to say anything about
her sisters strange disappearance. Ihe
other sister would not talk either. Ihe
story of the alleged marriage is generally
accepted as true by those who know the
couple.

1t will be great day for the Evan
gelical Lutheran Church of St. Trini-
tatis, on Bowers. street, Sunday next.
Special services will be held all day in
honor of the eighteenth anniversary of
the pastorate of the Rev. R. A. Hape.
When the Rev. Mr.. Hape became pastor
of the church there was but So in the
treasury and there was a debt of 5000,
which there seemed but little prospect of
wiping out. There were only twenty-five
members ON the roll. There is now a
membership of $50, the old debt has been
wiped out and the church has property
valued at $4,000, on which there is a
mortgage of $4,000.
Pastor Hape has been hard worker
all his life. He has not spared him
Self in his efforts to advance the inter-
ests of the Church of St Trinitatis. In
the eighteen years he has spent as its
pastor he has lost considerable hair from
the top of his head, through worry and
responsibility. He is greatly beloved by
his people who, will turn out in full
force to honor him on his eighteenth
anniversary.

to Their Rector.

Right Rev. Monsignor De Concilio, OF
st, MichaePs R. C. Church, arrived in
Jersey City, this morning, from Europe,
where he has spent a most enjoyable
vacation.

Monsignor, who looked rosy and in
splendid health.
The church societies will hold a parade

evening, there will be a reception in the
school hall, at which many prominent
people will be present. Monsignor De
Concilio it is whispered will shortly give
a lecture on his trip and as he is a
delightful speaker the event will be doubly
interesting.

and all present managed te enjoy them
selves as only Germans can. Said one

column, watching the merrymakers:-
Those people can get more fun out of
nothing than any one else" And it is
true the Germans can enjoy themselves
and make fun out of almost nothing
The dancing pavilion was crowded all
the evening and the dancers enjoyed
themselves immensely. The large whoel
of fortune didn't do very much business
last evening, SO the ingenious proprietor
got wheezey German band together
around his booth and they played several
beautiful selections, which drove the
crowd away from his booth instead of
bringing them there, as he had intended
Then a series of tableaux were given,
which were indeed very beautiful as were

on this side of the river, at 1910 o'clock
this morning, with such force that the
boarding was ripped, windows out of tho

deal of damage generally was done to

few passengers on board and although
many were thrown from their seats with
the unexpected jerk nothing serious oc-
cursed, beyond a little profanity and a
general anathematizing of the Captain

California Brings From the East Products
That Should Come From Itself

California Brings From the East Products
That Should Come From Itself.
In the second list are many of the COM
monest articles of consumption, which
California might readily produce at home,
but for which it sends millions of dollars
abroad each year The imports of pork
and its products range as high as Sc, 000,-
600 or So 600, COO each year. Condensed
milk is not only very important article
of consumption in mining camps and
great ranches but is largely shipped abroad
for the Asiatic trade. 1t is brought across
the continent from New Jersey. Califor-
mia also sends beyond its borders from
800, 600 600 to S25, 600, 600 annually for the
item of sugGr, which should not only be
produced in sufficient quantities to supply
consumption, but for export as well.
1t is curious fact that many Of the
finest fruit preserves sold in San Francisco
bear French and Italian labels, and that
the supply of canned sweet corn comes
mostly from Maine. Essential oils made
from the Feelings of citrus fruits are also
imported. 1t is not uncommon to find
orange marmalade which has been pre-
pared in Rochester, the oranges hav-
ing been shipped eastward and the manu-
featured product westward at a cost of
two transccntinental freights. Imports
are by no means confined to things which
require capitol and machinery for their
manufacture. Chickens, turkeys and eggs
are largely brought from outside. A sin
gle commission house in San Francisco
imports 500, 900 chickens every year. Thus
a good many thousands of the new settlers
can proftably be employed in feeding
much of the present population of the
state, which includes a large proportion of
those who are specializing on wheat and
fruit, sheep, cattle and hogs -"Our Great
