LoUDENsLAGER THE VICTIM.
Rapsacked II Congress-
man,s House for Booty.

Especial to The Jersey City News.
PAULsBORO, Jan. 20, 1sss.-An electric
bell saved the house of Congressman
Loudenslager from being robbed early
yesterday morning. The Congressman
was in Washington and his wife gave per-
mission to the servants to spend the night
away and was consequently alone practi-
cally excepting for the man who sleeps IN
a small house nearby. Mrs. L~oudenslager
was aroused about two o'clock by a noise
below her room, and thinking it was the
heater touched an electric button, as is
her custom when anything out OF the Or
binary occurs, which calls the man.
He came q few moments later and
found burglars had been there and piled
ali the silverware in q heap and had
crushed these into as small a parcel as
possible ready to take away. together
with some of the Congressman's clothes.
These were all left, however, as it is sup
posed the ringing of the bell frightened
the thief or thieves away.

evening. The scene in that hotel on Tues

both large and small, all went off to-
gether. The din was something unbear-
able. This occurred about eleven O'clock
in the night. Many boarders had gone
to bed, while many others were playing
cards or billiards in the bar room when

by the bells ringing in their
rooms. and scantily attired they dashed
out of their rooms regardless of APP
pearances.
Ghosts, said one. Burglars ringing
the bells to scare u.s." said another.
"Must be a hundred ghosts" said a third,
but no one volunteered to go and inves-
tigate the cause of the disturbance.
Mrs. Zeugner, the owner Of the hotel,
was in great state of mind. Walters and
bartenders fell all over n another in
the excitement, but still the bell con-
tinued to jingle merrily, showing no signs
of abaring. Finally one of the boarders
bolder than the rest said
sTll go up and see what's the matter"
and armed with a club up he went.
In the meantime the bells had stopped
ringing but when the brave volunteer
struck his head in one of the bed rooms
the bells started off again madly. Think
ing he had seen a thousand ghosts the
young fellow dropped his club and made a
dash for the stairs, but in doing so trip
ned over a mat and fell sprawling, slid
me along the loor on his face. BY the
time he reached the bar room he was
covered with perspiration and breathing

startling tale of seeing ghosts of all des-

and tables in the bar room. All that
night aud Wednesday the bells rang at
intervals of every few minutes, but the
cause could not be discovered until the
bartender while investigating the con-
tents of a closet at the back OF the bar
noticed that the insulation had been
chewed off the electric wires which con-
nected with a number Of batteries there.
He reported his discovery and there was
much rejoicing among the boarders, They
came to the conclusion that the rats had
done the mischief and the wires coming
in contact formed a circuit which of

We ,earn with great satisfaction that
the Board of Finance has authorized the
issue of $500 0 worth of bonds to erect q
new Public Library building upon the me
site which the trustees have secured upon
Jersey avenue. 1t is a public spirited act,
and We have little douht hat Mayor hoos
will cordially approve it.
In the hands of DR.. Gordon ana the
other members of the present Board OF
Trustees. the sum will be fully sufaclenl
to erect a structure adequate to the neeas
of the Library for a quarter of a century
and an ornament to the city as well. Inc
very favorable terms on which the si'e
was secured show that the gentlemen III
charge are both shrewd business men anu
earnestly DESTROYS of benefting the CITY.
A library building is not, OF necessity
enormously costly. II need not be loIty.
With the area at the disposal of the trus-
tees. q building three or four stories high
may be made answer every purpose. l.
should. of course, be fire proof, or nearly
so, but in these days the cost even OF
fre-proof buildings is not e~xtravagant,
and no doubt the trustees will take adj
vantage of everything that competition
will afford in the way of low prices
We hope to see the enterprise advance
now with seven league boots. 1t is by the
Identification of the city in such ways as
this that new residents will be attracted
and old ones held. OF all things in the
world, Jersey City needs more ornament.
Let us have this one. at any rate, as we
are sure of the full value for our money.

rh. mayor and the Financier..

Every citizen who has the good of the
the exchange of acerbities between Mayor
Hoos and the Board of Finance. 1t does
the city harm n nobody any good. 1t
does not add one particle to the dignity or
influence of the Mayor and his sarcasm
does not diminish the high repute in
which the members of the present Fl
nance Board are justly held. K
That Mayor Hoos is sincerely anxious
to benefit the city, nobody for a moment
doubts. But this does not obliterate the
impression that he has not always been
right in his aggressive movements. On
the other hand the public credit the
Financiers with intentions just as honor-
able as the Mayors, and yet there is
regret felt tina they should have used
provocative rhetoric in addressing him on
public questions.
There is no conceivable reason why the
two parties to the wrangle should, not
become friends and work in harmony. 1t
would he honorable to both sides to effect
a reeonciliation Mayor Hoos alludes in
q cutting way to the approaching COM
plexfon of the Board. Fact is, His Honor
could not do better than ~reappoint the
two gentlemen whose terms expire this
spring, Messrs. Kellers and Brautigam.
1t is equally a fact, and His Honor
should not lose sight of it, that he may
not have an opportunity to make any APP
pointment or at least to make any which
will disp1ace these gentlemen, as the Re-
publicans are in control of the Legis-
aature and there are rumors abroad as to
projected legislation.
