AMELIA SAYLOR.

The transports Peru and Puebla left
the harbor about II o'clock yesterday
morning for Manila It is expected
that they viii catch up with the Rio
and Pennsylvania, which sailed the
previous day, in about a week. At
10 o'clock yesterday morning General
Otis called aboard the Philadelphia to
bid farewell to Admiral Miller. and
was given the salute of his rank on re
firing. Most of the men of the Peru
were on hand promptly, but there were
some tardy fellows in the Puebla' s
contingent Three Hawaiians attempt
ed to stow away in the flagship, but
were detected and brought ashore.
Scenes at both ships were quite
at sailing time Several hundred
people were gathered there Some fruit
sent aboard was thrown out upon ord
ers of the surgeon on account of its
being unripe. There were those who
die not like this proceeding. The usual
storm Of fruit came when the vessels
started out The Puebla sailed first
and was followed Immediately by the
Peru.
Five men of the two transports were
left behind in Honolulu. They claim
not TO have known the sailing hour
of the vessels, which is at least strange
as the time was common talk among
all the men for tWenty-fOUr hours be-
fore. The tardy have reported to Con
sui Haywood and Will be sent on by
the St. Paul, now due.
The expedition has been here so long
that a good many of both officers and
men had numerous acquaintances. |
Friends by scores were at the docks
and the element of regret entered
largely into many of the farewells. A
good many of the expedition members
had become liked here. Some of the
travellers would have been pleased,
knowing the war is at an end, to have
been billeted for Honolulu for almost
an indefinite time.

some of the regular officers on the
way down from San Francisco.
Inquiry was made Of proper officials
concerning the accounts of confscat-
ing fruits and delicacies sent aboard
various transports by societies and in
dividuals. 1t was stated as the actual
fact that only green fruit and such
things as would be absolutely harmful
were rejected. 1t was considered un-
wise to keep bananas fOr ripening, as
the men were certain to try at them
before they were safe.

Oh, noble-hearted boys in blue!
The heart of the Nation goes forth
with you
As under the folds of the Stripes and

Ye say farewell and are off to the wars.
Behind ye are leaving the dear home
ties,
Perchance to die under foreign skies;
Yet bravely ye march, oh hero band!
To meet the foes of your native land
And as We sail the ocean blue,
The host invisible sails with you.
Sons of your fathers, strike with might
For God, and liberty, and right
And when your victorious legions

Once more on the shores of your native

Dear patriot heroes, tried and true,
The heart of your country will well
come you!

JUDGE BuFFINeToN's DECISION.
Small Telephone Companies Hurt BY

Joining certain persons against the un-
authorized use of the device bids fair
greatly to embarrass a thousand and one
small independent telephone corporations
in the Southern and Eastern States. Ihe
company directly enjoined by this de-
cision is the Milheim Electric Co, OF
Pennsylvania. a small concern doing bust
ness in a small Pennsylvania town. Action
was brought against it by the Western

a test case.

A description in detail of it would be TOO
technical for general understanding. 1t IS
a device, however, by means OF which a
conversation can be carried on over a
single wire having a number of stations
on 1t.
s"The effect of the decision is. however.
far reaching. In the Southern ant New

many small telephone companies :
the so-called Independent COMPANIES.

without the use of the Carly bridging
bell they cannot give a satisfactory SER
vice to their subscribers. At any rate, l
know this to be so. Enjoined from its
use, the companies will be forced to go
back to the lays when telephonic COM
munication was hardly possible because
of a confusion of noises, or TO make some
arrangement with the Bell Telephone Co.,
which has exclusive right to Use the

patent is unaua1ifedly sustained and the

to proceed against the infringing COM

to enjoin them all.

ably the company will take steps to con-

as to that. If it should. it seems to me
the Independent companies, if not utterly

AHEAD OF HOBOKEN.
Burghaus' Anticipating Ideas
Flabbergast the Health
Board.

The Hoboken Health Board is exercised
as it never was before. Hobokenites
have lodged all sorts of complaints with
that august body. Cocks who crowed
were complained of, as were the vesper
bells calling the people to divine worship.
All these complaints have been remedied,
but the latest complaint is a poser, and
the Health Board is at its wits end how
to act in the matter.
Albert Burghaus, of No. 610 River street
employed as an artist on one of the New
York yellow journals, wants the Health
Board to prevent people from expeetorat-
ing in the street. 1t appears that adjoin-
ing Burghaus lives a man who has con-
sumption, and he hacks and coughs n
expectorates as he passes Burghaus'
home. In a lengthy letter to the Health
Board. Burghaus dwells on the immedi-
ate necessity of the Health Board pre-
venting the populace from splitting" on
the sidewalks. and suggests that 1t would
be an excellent idea to have huge disln-
fected ~cuspadores located throughout the
city at intervals of half a block. All
persons caught splitting elsewhere than in
the cuspadores should be locked up and
subjected to a heavy fine, he suggests.
The Health Board will meet on the last
Tuesday in the month, and act on Burg
hauS' complaint.

MONEY TO LOAN
GEBHARDT'S SLAYER.
Plea of Not Guilty Entered by
Professional Burglar
Preston.

The Grand Jury came into Court this
morning and handed up an indictment
against James *. Brown, for the murder
of Policeman Charles Gebhardt. in Ho-
boken, on July 26. After dismissing the
jury Justice I%ippincott directed hat the
prisoner be brought into court to be ar
raigned and have a day set for the trial.
Sheriff Heller and Deputy Sheriff Hague
brought Brown over from the jail. The
prisoner was handcuffed to Hague, and
they both sat for a few minutes in the
prisoners pen.
Brown, or Preston, or Jackson, or what
ever the murderer's name is, has the look
of a hardened criminal. He was perfectly
cool and displayed no special interest in
the proceedings. Prosecutor Erwin sum
moned him to the bar in the name of
Brown under which he is indicted, and
read the Indictment to him. Senator Daily
who is acting counsel for the murderer
for the present, stood near him.
..How do you plead, guilty or not
guilty. asked Prosecutor Erwin, after
he had finished reading the Indictment.
mot guilty." said Senator Daily.
mot guilty" echoed Brown in a firm
voice.
Justice Lippincott, after consulting with
Judge Blair, fixed Monday, September Is,
as the date fer the trial, and the prisoner
was escorted pack to the Jail.

POLICE socIETY's PICNIC.
Slight Excitement as the Barges
Went Through the Draw.

The picnic of the Police Mutual Aid
Society to Bay Cliff Grove, Staten Island,
yesterday, was a success. All who at
tended at had an enjoyable time. There
was good music aboard the steamer and
barges and dancing was, enjoyed during
the entire trip to and from the grove
At the grove boating, swimming and
other sports were participated in by the
excnrsionists. On the way back, just be-
fore the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
bridge to Elizabeth, a tow of barges pulled
out from the shore just ahead OF the ex-
cursion steamer and barges. The captain
of the Mohawk the steamer charter by
the police, saw that only one lot of boats
could pass through the draw at a time,
so he slowed down and signalled for the
tow to go through first.
Lashed to either side of the Mohawk
were the barges Starina and Nelson.
They were crowded with excursionists
hundreds of whom were dancing or listen
ing to- the music. After the tow had
passed through the draw the Mohawk
with her barges started to follow. While
waiting for the tow she had drifted con-
siderably. AS she attempted to pull
through the draw the barge Nelson,
which was nearer the bridge, bumped her
side against the pillar. The force of the
collision broke one of the wooden tenders
and forced the barge over against the
Mohawk, i~njuring two of her stanchions.
Otherwise no damage was done.
There was a little excitement over the
incident, but it was soon over. Two
women fainted, but nothing more serious
resulted. The dancing was not stopped
by the accident. The Mohawk landed her
passengers shortly after eight O'Clock. An
unknown man in his haste to land fell
overheard. He was quickly rescued. A
man also fell overheard at the Grove in
an effort to jump ashore before the boat
was properly locked. He felt so cheap
over the occurrence that he went off
without leaving his name.

BOULEVARD BRANCHES.
Extension and Har-
rison Spur Plans to Be
Considered Today.

Engineer Ralph Earle has completed the
plans for the extension of the Boulevard
from Hoboken up to Jersey City Heights,
and they will be considered by the Board
of F%reeholders in caucus tomorrow after
noon. An effort may be made to adopt
them at the meeting afterward.
The plans provide for d continuation OF
the Hoboken loop from Willow avenue,
up Thirteenth street by means of a via
duct to the hill and thence in a south
westerly direction, about 700 feet. to the
Paterson Plank Road al the point where
the road takes a turn to the west; thence
along the Paterson PLANK Road to Grace
street, Jersey City Heights. and along
Grace street to the main Boulevard.
This extension and the proposed west
ern boulevard, from the Heights to Har-
rison and Kearny, both have their advo-
Gates in the Board and an effort will be
made tomorrow to join forces and adopt
both. The chief opposition to the west
ern boulevard is to the route which has
been selected, from Sip avenue across the
meadows parallel with the Newark turn
pike road and only about 200 feet distant.
They claim that the boulevard and the
turnpike, both county roads, would be
too close to each other.
The route suggested by the opposition
is from Manhattan avenue along the
County Road to Snake Hill, n thence
along the abandoned road bed of the
Greenwood Lake Railroad. as far as it
goes, and coming out at Kearny. It is
claimed that this route would give the
people of the western towns access to
the Institutions at Snake Hill, which they
can only reach now by a very roundabout
way. It is also claimed that the ex-
pense would be less. The estimated cost
of the other is s500,0 GOO, but it's opponents
point out the fact hat the original Boule-
ward cost more than double the first es-
innate.
1t is thought that a sufficient number
of votes cannot be obtained to adopt one
plan without the other and that they
must stand or fall together.

ENGINE co. NO. SIS FLAG
Raised Last Evening Amid
Much Enthusiasm.

The residents in the vicinity of the
house of Engine Company No. 8, on Mer-
Ger street, presented the company with a
handsome American flag last evening.
which was flung to the breeze by Miss
w. Cunningham. A number of gentlemen
in the community noticed the ragged con-
dition Of the old flag and they quietly
went to work getting subscriptions for a
new ensign. They met with great sue
cess. The committee appointed to take
charge of the affair consisted Of William
Cunningham and Judson Startup. and
they deserve great credit for the time and
labor they have spent. The flag is a silk
one, 20 by 80 feet. The pole from which
the flag flies is what the men in the en-
CINE house call a daisy" and it stands
just ninety-three feet above the sidewalk.
The pole was the gift of Mr.. Joel w.
Brown.
When the young lady pulled the hall
yards that set the flag TO the breeze. one
hundred small silk flags fell among the
people below and there was great scram-
bling to get one to keep as a souvenir.
AS the flag was broken out a band which
stood directly in front Of the engine house
played tie 'Star spangled Banner
while the crowd houted and cheered.
After the flag had been raised Eugene
w. Leake made a short address in which
he gave great praise to the members of
the Engine Company and also their Cap
tain, Mr.. George Dengler. Mr.. Leake
spoke about being a fireman once himself,
when he ran with what they called the
old "Broncho'' in a country town, and the
many funny experiences he had. After
amusing the large throng for a while he
then accepted the flag for the members
of the company. In the course of his re-
marks about the glorious flag and the
many brave men that are now fighting
for it. he said, I'VE went to free Cuba
as we thought they needed sympathy, but
now we find them different The re-
marks brought forth loud applause.
Commissioner Brennan thanked the peo-
pie and the different residents IN his To-
cality for the handsome gift, and gave
them all a hearty welcome to the Engine
House. When the crowd had dispersed
a supper was served by Morrow & Day
on the second floor of the house. After
supper Commissioner Brennan acted as
master of ceremonies. Alexander Young
made an address and Messrs Dye and
Blanchard sang a duet. Robert McDon-
aid fecited some humorous pieces and
Joseph Madden spoke.
Among those present were Commission
ers Brennan, Erickson and Mills, ex-
Mayor Wanser. Chief Conway, James

TROLLEY CAR KILLS A DOG.

A large black and white dog was killed
early last evening. on West Side venue
near the West Bergen station of the New
ark and New York Railroad, by trolley
car No. 438, of the West Side avenue line.
The animal became jammed under the
front of the car. In attempting to set it
out, a young man who refused his name.
was bitten in the hand. The wound was
cauterized by DR.. Bancker. The dog was
taken from beneath the car. It dragged
itself to the sidewalk and lay upon the
stoop Of a barber shop. 1t was apparently
suffering greatly. Several persons exr
amined it and found that that its back
was broken. The dog lay on the stoop for
nearly half an hour. No policeman could
be found to shoot it. Finally a man came
out with a shotgun and killed the poor
hrltte.
