HOBOKEN HEALTH BOARD.
A steamship Fuss Over Nothing.
Recalefiranr CIarnu.ao

A special meeting of the Hoboken Board
OF Health was held last evening, Presi-
dent e. 7. Steadman and Commissioners
Fugazzi and Heller being the only mem
bers present.
Commissioner Fugazzi, of the Sanitary
Committee. presented a report in relation
to the manner in which discarded bedding
taken from the steamships was ~cleansed
and upon cases of contagious diseases
breaking out on steamships after leaving
quarantine. The committee found no
cause for complaint, and
that the rules now in operation be con
tinued. The committee suggested that all
passenger steamers landing at the city
be compelled to report contagious dis
eases that may develop on ship board
after leaving quarantine and be forbidden
to land passengers arriving in the steer
age, American citizens or otherwise,
when there ave been contagious dis
eases aboard on the trip, without first
notifying the board.
COMMISSIONS Heller objected to the re-
port being adopted, as he, as a member
Of the Sanitary Committee, had not been
consulted 1t was nevertheless accepted.
h complaint made to the Board some
time ago by DIR. Joseph Rosenkranz that
the covers used on books in the public
schools were germ carriers was investi-
gated by the Sanitary Committee. The
COLlltIllltet lOuuQ Thai many OF the covers
on the school books were filthy and re-
ported that DR.. Rosenkranz's complaint
was correct. A resolution was adopted
requesting the Commissioners of Publ
Instruction to prohibit the covering of
books with muslin, calico lining or any
other porous covering, and suggesting
that simple wrapping paper be used in
stead. IA copy of the resolution will be
sent to the principals of the public
schools and also to private schools.
Clerk Havron complained to the Com
misSioners that a number of ministers in
the city had neglected to report mar
riages to the Board within the thirty
days prescribed by the health code, A
letter wa received from Richard Ran
dolph Hall of No. Ito Eighth street. He
said that he had read about the clergy
men neglecting to report marriages and
he wondered If his marriage a been
reported. He said he was married to
Miss Anna Marie Frances Riehl by. the
Rev. George G.. Houghton, d. D., rector
of Trinity Church, in April, 1893. Clerk
Havron looked up his marriage records
and found that DR.. Houghton had failed
to report 1t, The clergyman was notified
to explain to the Board.
clergynlen for violating the health ordi-
nance. DR.. Heller said that they should
be punished.
II don't care he said, whether the
persons : are elergyTnen or beggars, we
ought 10 instruct our attorney to bring
proceedings against them and impose a
fine for violating the code"

IDA HILPRECHT AERAIGNED.
The Girl who Horsetvlhipped Rein
hardt Appears with Him Court.

NEW YORK, Jan. %, 1S97.-Ida Hill
precht, the pretty Hobol.en girl who
horsewhipped Charles Reirlhardt at Bare
lay street ferry last night, could not be
placated by his ELUSIVE smiles before the
two were arraigned in Centre Street Po-
lice Court this morning.
Reinhart is a married man. He lives
at No. 113 Clinton street, Hoboken.
Ida is only eighteen. She lives at No.
10S Bloomfield street, Hoboken, where
Reinhardt was wont to visit her as an
unmarried man.
After a brief romance, such as Is
wound about daily trips on the ferry
boats Reinhardt is said to have promised
to marry the girl, and then to nave be-
trayed her.
When Reinhardt approached the ticket
otlce at the ferry-house last night Ida
stepped towards him, drew a heavy raw
hide whip n struck him a r~esounding
blow across the face.
The scores of commuters formed a
circle about the couple and urged the
girl on, while Reinhardt attempted to
ward off the blows.
Policeman Newmayer pushed through
the crow and arrested the man and
duct. Both spent the night in public sta
ton cells.
Re1nhardt's smiles vanished when he
saw his wife in court. When the whip
used by the girl was given to Magis-
trate Simms, Reinhardt gasped:-
That's the thing with which she
struck me until l tool it from her"
Mrs. Reinhardt half rose from her
seat and glanced at her husband as he
stood beside Miss Hilprecht before the
Magistrates desk.
II was a good girl before Reinhardt
promised to marry me-" said the girl,
bowling her head and speaking almost in
q whisper.
Miss Hilprecht then told the Court how
she had been wronged and how Rein
hardt had promised to meet her last
week and marry her.
H failed to appear she said, .'and
then I decided to take the law into my
own hands.
Reinhardt denied that he had prom
ised to marry the girl.
Mrs. Reinhardt moaned as she lis
tened to the girls story.
The Magistrate fined Miss Hilprecht 81,
and advised her to seek the civil courts
for satisfaction from Reinhardt If he
really had promised to marry her. The
girls fine was paid.

AsTBAMsHIP's ROUGH EXPERIENCE
The Oldenburs,s Decks Awash and
Port Holes Stave Nm.

The steamship Oldenburg of the North
German Lloyd line arrived at her DOCK
in Hoboken yesterday, three days over
due. The officers report that the voy-
age was one of the toughest they have
experienced in several winters. The Old
enpurg left Bremerhaven on January
10. When two lays out she was over
taken by a storm, which, lasted through
out the rest of the trip. The wind blew
a gale from the northwest. and the heavy
seas swashed over the sun deck of the
ship. On January 10, the storm Develop
ed into a hurricane, with binding snow.
The thermometer was 80 below zero, and
as the sea dashed over the steamer the
decks and sides of the ship were covered
with ice almost a foot thick.
One of the port holes in the frst-class
smokers cabin, on the promenade deck,
was stove in and the cabin was filled with
water. A window in the steerage room
was alsO broken, and two doors in the
gangway on the main deck were smash
ed in. On the night Of the 18th, the
storm slackened, but continued with
snow and hail during the remainder of
the voyage. 1t took the Oldenburg four
teen days to make the trip. h usual
time allowed is only eleven days.
