A War Dog Deserts.

Desertions among the Guard Battalions
at Potsdam occur so seldom that such an
event is always announced and discussed
with a great deal of interest by the au-
thorities and the general public. Two
weeks ago all Potsdam was astir, for a
desertion had taken place, the war-dog
Ben of the first company of Guards
Chasseurs having suddenly disappeared
from the barracks. TIL description of
the dog was given in all the papers of
Potsdam and Berlin, and a reward Of
fered for him dead or alive. Two days
later the dog was seen by a fruit ender
in Berlin, about thirty miles from his
Potsdam quarters. The dog was trotting
serenely toward the Victoria Park. where
he probably had an appointment
seems that. like other Potsdamers, the
dog wanted to see the sights at Berlin for
a few days, regardless of consequences.
The fruit vender had recognized the dog
by the published description, but not
being quite certain of being right, re-
sorted to the old trick. practiced by de-
tectives when following a man Of whom
they are not quite sure. He called the
name Ben and the dog fell into the
trap. Being recognized the dog went
willingly with the finder, and was called
for the same day by a private of the
Chasseurs, detailed to take him home
when the news of his being found became
known. What the deserter's punishment
will be has not as yet been stated. The
very next day the dog was taken into the
field for mp drill and did better
than ever in his task of attending the
men of the hospital service in their diff
fcult exercises of finding ounde sol
diers under cover.

Judge H%udspeth, in the Orphans Court,
this morning, decided that the will of

his last will and testament, as the law
requires. Ackerson left his estate. which
is about $1,000, to a distant relative. His

JUNIOR MECHANICS COUNCIL.
Growth of the order In the state
Increase lis Membership.

Especial to THE Jersey city News.']
TRENTON, July 2S. 1S97.-The' State
Council }of the Jr. O. u. A. M. will meet
in this city on the fourth Wednesday, the
9th of October. and the prospects are
that the reports will show that the order
has been growing during these hard
times. Fifteen councils have been instt-
tuted so far during the year with an in
crease in membership of j. 100.
Considerable interest is being aroused
in the order over the action taken at the
last session of the National Council, at
Omaha. on the questions of members Of
the order engaging in the liquor business.
Three years ago a general law was enact
ed by the National Council that no sa-
loon-keeper could be admitted to member
ship in the order. AL the last session an
amendment vas adopted as follows
Sec. A.. Any member of this order who
shall. after August /, 1897, engage or con-
inu in the manufacture, wholesale or
retail sale of alcoholic, spirituous or malt
liquors, to be usedtas a beverage, shall
be tried on charges preferred in the SUBJ
ordinate council to which he belongs, and
if found guilty shall be expelled.
Some difference of opinion has arisen
over the construction of the amendment.
Some claim that any person now in the
business and continuing therein after the
first of August. will be liable to the penal
ties prescribed in the amendment. Others
contend that it means only those who
h engage in the business subsequent
to August l, and continue therein, prob
ably after notification of the violation of
the law Of the order, shall be liable.
A decision from the National Councillor
has been asked for, and pending that the
different councils will AXE no action in
any cases that may arise.

FREEZING OUT SALOONS
Rejected Applicants to Get
No Hearing from the Al
deTmen for a Year.
SOME QUESTIONABLE AMENDMENTS
Liquor Dealers Association Weak
. ems the Restrictive Ordinance
-Kenny's Wrath Aroused.
SOME QUESTIONABLE AMENDMENTS

The Aldermen at their meeting last
night put the finishing touches on tneir
plan to shut out undesirable liquor dealers
and to prevent men who have alreaoy
been refused licenses from applylhs
again. The resolution emanated from
the Committee of the Whole. 1t instructs
the City Clerk TO refuse an Application
from any man or woman VINO mas 'ais
year been refused a license.
One Of the men who will be effectualiy
barred by the operation of the resolution
is Patrick Kenny, who wished TO open d
saloon at Boulevard and Virginia avenue
When he applied for q license consldera-
HE opposition developed and Kenny was
Knocked out. That he is mad is ex-
pressing it mildly. Kenny is somewhat
of a talker. and from the Hill comes the
story that unless he gets q license the
Democratic party will Z be disrupted by
him.. Kenny, it is said, attempted to dis
rupt the party when Allan L. D
mott was a candidate for Mayor. People
living near Kenny place of business
have thanked the Aldermen for refusing
him a license.
The Aldermen have a a new rule
concerning the granting of licenses. It's
that no license shall be granted unless
the Aldermen from the ward where 1t is
proposed to open the saloon consent All
those applicants who have been refused
licenses had the Aldermen from the
wards in which they proposed doing BUSH
ness against them. The Excise Commit
tee has also decided to modify the erdi-
nance it introduced some weeks ago rela-
tive to the granting of licenses. The or
iginal ordinance provided that the ap-
plicant had to be a resident of the city at
least one year. The amendment requires
the applicant to nave been a resident of
the State one year. 1t was originally
provided that a license could not be
transferred from one person to another.
The amendment allows such a transfer,
but prohibits the transfer of a license
from one location to another. The final
amendment is to that section which pro-
hibited the licensing of a place for three
years which had been refused a license.
It is row provided only that the person
who has been refused a license for e GER
tain place cannot make application for
the same location within three years.
The amendments We're recommended by
the Hudson County Liquor Dealers Assoc
citation. The ordinance as amended is TO
be made a party measure.

The ~mudgutter bands which have been
engaged to furnish the music have

test was filed and will be looked into at
once.
A remonstrance was also presented
against the granting of a license for a.

dents say there are two saloons on the

the First ward, withdrew their applica-
tons, having been informed that licenses

LESSONS In MUSIC AND LOVE
Saiyato's Chords on the Mandolin
Found Sympathetic Strings In
Roseftasa Heart.

fkOEeft8SS taeaES. TN
The Italian residents of Hoboken are
gossiping today over the elopment of Bar
her Joseph Salvato. of No. 14 Adams
street. and Miss Rosetta Bienchi, a pref
ty nineteen year old Italian girl Of
Brooklyn. Salvato made his appearance
in Hoboken last night in company with
his young wife after being absent for sew
eral days s.
Rosetta,s father is Joseph Bienchi, a
musician. He was formerly a resident of
sHoboken, but now lives in Brooklyn
where he makes a livelihood by giving
lessons on the mandolin. Salvato was
one of his pupils. Each time he called
at Biencsi's home to take a lesson he
met Rosetta, and : they became quite
friendly. Finally they fell in love.
Bienchi watched the love making be-
tween his daughter and his pupil with In
terest. He made no objection to the
match until one day Salvato told him that
/. he had concluded to cease taking music
lessons. He said he had become prof.
caant on the instrument n thought 1t a
waste of money to pay for more instruc-
tions.
Bienchi didn't like this a bit, and he
forbid Salvato to enter his house again.
Safyato. however, met Rosetta on. the
street. and they agreed to elope and get
married in spite of the musicians pro-
test. This they did three nights ago and
now Bienchi is looking for his daughter.
