RivaI American Belles.

American girls, according to a Partisan
periodical, have found serious rivals ii
young ladies from Australia. The Aus
tralian bellies millions make them pop
llar with the jeunesse dore of Europe,
and they have the additional attraction
of retaining their beauty much longer
than the generality of women. But the
beauty of these young women from the
island continent is marred by several de-
fects Their hands and feet are such as
Heinrich Heine had in mind when he
spoke of hands and feet he would like
to draw the natural size could he only
find a piece of paper big enough, and
these Australian misses all have the rep
utation of loving the piano not wisely,
but too well.
An Australian farmer, who will think
carefully before he buys piece of agri-
cultural machinery, will pay any price
for piano. His daughters can hardly
sew, but they can hammer piano. Those
who play piano well are considered
superior beings. A well known musician
who has been on concert tour through
Australia says that the country is af-
hicted with two plaques, of which the
lesser is the rabbit and the greater the
incompetent piano teachers.
Australian girls at home have a fairly
good time Among other amusements,
the girls take part In the exciting kanga-
roo hunts, which they follow on horses
hardly broken in, riding with more favor
than. elegance, but nevertheless, furnish
ing splendid spectacle.--Newark Sun

GRUESOME EXHIBITS.
Vast Crowd Again Gathers to Wit
ness the Luetgert Trial.

CHICAGO, Sept. II, 1S97.--The prospect
of viewing the gruesome exhibit of flesh,
bones, slime and canvas gunnisacks
reeking with what the prosecution assert
is the dissolved body of the wife of A.
L. Luetgert, drew an unusually large
crowd this morning to the entrance of the
Criminal Court Building.
In the court room there was the usual
fiutter of excitement when the big pris-
oner was led in by the colored bailiff.
Prof. George Vincent Bailey, whose di-
rect examination was begun yesterday
afternoon, was placed on the stand as
the first witness today. Prof Bailey oc-
cupied the position of osterologist for the
Field Columbian Museum and is the ex-
pert witness for the State on bones.
The witness identified a small bone as
a. portion of the hand of a woman. He
then took a portion of mounted skele-
ton and indicated thereon the exact po-
sition of the bone in the hand The par
ticle was then passed among the jury
for inspection. Later the witness said
that the bone was from a small skeIe-
ton, probably that of woman. Other
particles of bone were identified as differ
ent portions of the skeleton of human
being,

BgEsON NJ ROMMBL DEAD.
Old Resident of Jersey Ctty-Ferry-
rnasfer Over Forty Years.

Benson M. Rommel, who died on Thurs
day evening, aged 60 years, at his home,
No. 260 Summit avenue after several
weeks illness, was one of the Oldest resi-
dents of Jersey City, having grown up
with the city from its earliest days. He
was the oldest ferrymaster in the employ
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
He entered the employ of the old New
Jersey Company at the age of fourteen
years, and when eighteen years old was
promoted to the position of ferrymas-
ter. He continued to hold that rank up
to the time OF his death, thus serving for
ty-two years, with the exception of the
brief interval of three months which he
served in Company c, Second Regiment,
New Jersey Volunteers, in the Rebellion.
He was one of the first pupils of old
School No. 1, subsequently member OF
Hook and Ladder Company No. of the
old Volunteer Fire Department, and be-
longed to the Exempt Firemens and
Firemen's Fund Association, and at one
time was an active member of the Ma
sonic order He leaves a widow and four
children and large circle of Sorrowing
friends. His long services in one posi-
tion attests to the faithfulness with
which ne discharged its duties.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
afternoon at three o'clock. The interment
will be in New York Bay Cemetery.

INSPECTING NO. 6 SCHOOL.
1t Has Been Much Improved Daring
the Summer Vacation.


At half-past two o'clock this afternoon,
provement Association by invitation Of
Director of Education Frederick J.
Mersheimer, will inspect the many i'm
provements made in No. School building
during the summer vacation. The old
building has been thoroughly renovated
and the exterior repainted. The ante
quated and unsanitary sewerage system
has been replaced.
The work has been done under the per-
sonal supervision of the Eleventh Waro
Director.
No. contains more scholars than any
other school in this city and still is
obliged to refuse admission to many ap-
plicants by reason of insufficiency of ac-
commodations, especially for children OF
the lower grades, while several of the
classes are so crowded that they are
divided into two parts, each being allowed
a half days session. In no section OF
the city is the need for increased school
accommodations greater than in the
Eleventh ward. The population which is
composed mainly of the working class of
people is large and rapidly growing and
each recurring year sees a greater number
of applicants refused.
The new school which will be erected
on PaliSade avenue, extending from Pros
pect street to Reservoir avenue, is eA.
pected to accommodate the Overflow OF
No 6. The plans for the new building
have been prepared by Architect Neu-
mann, of Ogden avenue and FRANKLIN
street.

BAKER ASSOCIATION RECEIVES

Members of the Baker and Aughnesy
Associations enjoyed a pleasant evening
yesterday in the rooms of the Baker As
sociation, No. 70 Railroad avenue. The
meeting was the wind up to a
sort of game of baseball
played ON Monday between the associa-
ton. On that occasion, after hot
contest the Bakers won by narrow ma
jority.
About two hundred people, composed of
the members of the Baker Association,

Citations, left the Baker meeting rooms,
headed by the captain of the baseball
team, B. B. Shannon, and a brass band,

B. Aughnesy Association, where they
were cordially received by the standard
bearer of the association. Members of
the Aughnesy Association swelled their
ranks on their return. When they
reached the rooms of the Baker Associa-
tion an entertainment was rendered to
all, lasting until midnight. The Baker
Association stands out prominently for
their outings, and that of last night was
not inferior to any other. At the close
of the entertainment Mr.. Bs B. Shannon

GOV. GRIGGS ACTS.
He Will Increase the Reward for she
CAPTURE Of Pftlss MurdererH.

NEW YORK, Sept. II, 1S9L-The condi-
ton of Mary Davis, the colored servant
who was murderously assaulted by the
murderer of James C. Pitts, near Summit,
N. j., is improved, and it is now believed
that she will recover. The hunt for the
two men who purchased tickets from the
Barclay street office of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroad in
this city on Thursday afternoon, is being
continued. They are thought by many
to be the murderers. The ticket agent
who sold the tickets says the men were
Germans. He says he can identify the
men. They were seen in Summit after
getting off of the train, and some think
they saw the same men on the road on
Thursday night, after the murder was
committed
A State detective arrived at Summit to-
day to aid Chief of Police Kelly. 1t is
likely that the reward of $3.50 which was
offered last night by the Township Com
mittee, will be increased by Governor
Griggs to at least $500 and perhaps $1,000.
The Governor has been requested to raise
the amount, and Chief Kelly and Cap
tain Stewart are expecting every minute
to hear from him that he has granted
their request.

of the different regiments of the First
Brigade assembled at their respective ar
mories early in the day and all seemed
eager to receive the order to proceed
to the scene of the trouble.
Sergeant Major Martin of the First
Regiment, when questioned on the sub
ject, probably voiced the sentiment of the
militiamen in saving
"TheSe men are foreigners. They ars
hard to manage. They are riotous and
turbulent. They place no value upon the
lives of others and must be handled firm
ly. They will break out Of bounds and
rule the region.
II do not think there is much sympa-
thy for them among the members of the
guard. They are illiterate and dull, and
seem to have no thought of anyone but
themselves. I believe that if the regi-
ments go there, and the miners attempt
to carry things with high hand, there
will be much bloodshed.'
Brigadier General Schaal, of the First
Brigade, arrived at the brigade head
quarters about ten o'clock this morning
and took command. He at once put him
self in communication with Harrisburg.

them.
Now Miss Martha Clybourn has asked
the court to turn the estate over to the

ministrator, on the ground that she is the
lawful widow of Allen Gregory and en-
titled to the property. Mr.. Gregory was
76 years old at the time of his death. Miss
Clyburn is said to be g.. The story goes
that back in the flfties Gregory became
engaged to Miss Clybourn. 1t came out,
however, that he had a wife and child in
the east and marriage to Miss Clybourn
was an impossibtlity. His son died
seventeen years ago, and he continued to

IN JAIL THOUGH INNOCENT.
Young woman Held a Month fer
Theft She Did Not Commit.

Agnes McCauley, of No. S5 Chestnut
street, Weehawken, has been in the
County Jail since August awaiting trial
on a charge of stealing $12 from Charles
Crimmins, of No. 1856 Monroe street, Ho-
boken. Crimmins had received his wages.
$3.50, that day and spent $3.50 of it in
accommodating a jag before he went home.
When he awoke the next morning the re-
naming $12 was missing and Crimmins
had to explain to his boarding mistress
why he could not pay his board.
The boarding mistress suggested that
perhaps Aggie McCauley took the money
and acting on the suggestion, Crimmins
had Aggie arrested. She was tried in
the Special Sessions yesterday.
When Crimmins was called to the wit
ness stand he told Judge Hudspeth that
three days after he had the young wom-
an arrested he found the money in his
hat band, where he had put it for safe
keeping. He could NOT do anything for
Aggie's relief because he was in the Jail
himself awaiting trial on a charge OF
assault and battery. The young woman

RAsOALLY POLICEMEN.
Secaucus Specimens Who ought to
BE Indicted for Perjury.

The police force of Secaucus was much
in evidence in the Court of Special Ses-
sions yesterday afternoon.
Patrick Wood, of that historic place,
got into a wrangle with Officer Henry
Casper in Secaucus saloon on August g..
Wood broke a beer schooner over Cas-
per's head knocked out several of his
teeth and otherwise abused him. Casper s
brother officers, John Harms and Charles
Schell, were in the saloon all the time.
They were so intently engaged with a
police publication however, that they
failed to take any notice whatever of the
row. They admitted as much in court
yesterday.
Neither Harms nod Schell thought it
necessary to interfere, as they did not
consider it any of their business to do So.
.'Who was responsible for appointing
you to the police force?" asked Assistant
Prosecutor Noonan of Harms.
The officer shuffled his feet sheepishly.
Judge Hudspeth tried to get him to tell
some of the facts in the case but Harms
stoutly maintained that he did not notice
anything out of the way occurring.
'sHow many acres does that saloon
cover?" queried Mr.. Noonan of officer
Schell.
The latter couldn't exactly say.
you're a fine pair of officers, I must
say,'' said Mr.. Noonan.
Judge Hudspeth was indignant.
'"The Prosecutor will look into this mat
ter thoroughly, and if the facts are as
stated the conduct of you two men will
be reported to the North Bergen authori-
ties. Wood. you are acquitted. This
Court has no other discretion in your
case"
1t may incidentally be mentioned that
Casper had to have fifteen stitches put
into mis- lip as the result of his alleged
conflict with Wood.

Instruction held session last night for
the purpose of discussing what action
they should take to relieve the overcrowd-
ed schools. 1t was unanimously agreed

School there are three classes, each
containing Sc children. The rooms are so
crowded that every inch of space is occu-
pied.
