ANOTHER AIR SHIP.

Conductor Sam Betters and Brake
man Harry Babcock, of the Southern
Pacific, are of the opinion that there is
a whole fleet of air ships wandering
about in the skies, or that the one par
ticular airship, which nearly every
body claims to have seen at another
place at the same time is a fast travel
er. AS Messrs. Betters and Babcock
were out on their run Monday night,
Babcock was sitting on the brake of
box car, while the train was passing
SpOfford. The train was speeding
along, when something struck Bah
cock on the shoulder and almost knock
ed him from his perch. He only heard
a humming noise and as he turned to
see where the mysterious blow came
from he saw the white-winged air ship
making fast time for the west.

OUR PARKS.

The parks under the new administra-
ton have been cleaned up and made
to look fresh and pleasant, but the
force employed is quite insufficient to
do all that might be done for the seven
parks or squares. Two gardeners are
all that are now employed, to keep
the three parks, Alamo, Main and Mill
tary plaza in good shape will require
the daily attention of two men. The
hedge about the city hall has been
trimmed la pompadour and looks nea-
ter than ever before. Our park COM
mittee should pay a little more atten-
ton to the parks.

SOME CROOKED SWEARING.
Colored People Give Testimony of all
Kinds


Lizzie Williams and Charlotte Nc
Donald, two colored women. were be-
fore the recorder this morning charged
with cursing and abusing Tom TAYLOR.
a negro man.
Complainant alleged that defendants
had cursed him and his wife repeatedly
and that he had complained before
but had never swore out an affidavit
for their arrest until yesterday, when
he decided to stand it no longer.
The defendants as stoutly denied
that they had in any way Offended
him or even spoken to him on the day
mentioned, and asserted that he was
continually bounding them and calling
them disrespectful characters while
they worked hard for a living and
were peaceful.
Both sides had quite an array of wit
nesses to prove their assertions and
some very lively oath breaking was
done by someone. The complainant
seemed to have the best of it, in the
way Of witnesses, all testifying al
most in the same vein, while the WON
ems witnesses differed
The recorder continued the case
holding all parties under bond. until
an investigation could be made by the
detectives, meanwhile promising them
he would give some of them a liva1,,
time in court for perjury should he dis
cover the guilty ones.

MIN long to discover his failure as a

in the field, and went in himself. Jack
was a pitcher at one time and not a
bad one, but that was many years AGO.

1t was of no use, however, for orr

SUCCESS TO THE ARLINGTON.
New Hotel on the Boulevard Taken
by Two Popular Hudson Men.

The splendid hotel on the Boulevard
near Fifty-irst street, has been bought by
Messrs. F. H. Kimmerly and A. Manning,
who will make it one of the best places of
that kind in the State. Surrounding the
hotel and sloping towards Newark Bay is
a large park, which in time will be made
a most attractive pleasure ground, and
what with lawns in front and parterres
OF flowers, few will recognize the new Ar.
lington Hotel as the place formerly
known as Salter's.
The new proprietors have made sweep
ing changes to such an extent and de-
gree tina those who enjoy the comforts of
a good dinner and choice brands of goods
easily find them there. A novelty in
the park will be a dancing pavilion. which
will be lighted with electricity and cooled
by electric fans, there being a complete
electric plant on the grounds. Nothing
is to be left undone which may conduce
an up-to-date hotel.
Mr.. Kimmerly, the senior member of
the firm, scarcely needs an introduction.
He occupied the position as Freebooter
for many years, and latterly served as Po-
lice Justice, receiving his commission
from Governor Albeit. His circle of
friends is very wide, and few men who
have been in the public eye enjoyed more
respect and confidence han he. His col
league. Mr.. Manning, served for many
year in an onerous position under the
county, and served well and faithfully.
There is nothing in the way towards sue
cess and prosperity for men like these.
