FAWARDEN, May Is, 1888 .--At ten
O'Clock this morning Mr.. Gladstone was
still in comatose state, apparently
lowering on the brink of death. Only by
the feeble beating of his pulse could it be
told that he was still alive.
All night long weary vigil was main
tanned. The whole family was in and
out of the sick room.
Mrs. Gladstone remained throughout
the night at the bedside of her dying
husband. She could not be induced to
leave him even to take refreshments.
The scene at about four O'Clock this
morning, when it was supposed Mr..
Gladstone's last hour had come, was most
painful. But he again showed his almost
superhuman vitality, fought death away
and relapsed into sleep.
1t is believed, however, that very few
hours will see the end.
The family expressed the opinion that
Mr.. Gladstone will pass away at about
noon today.
The temporary Improvement in Mr.
Gladstone,sg conoition has not continued.
He is again very PROSTATE, at 1.39 this
During the crisis, at four o clock this
morning, Mr. Gladstone's breathing was

noon, said:-''M Mrs. Gladstone does not

treneay distressed she is bearing up with

Mr.. Gladstone may expire at any mo-

peacefully during Slunbers.

fact that East Newark owes $944 for six

Bayonne owes SIS, ,916.S6 and the Brady es-

able.
In the cases of East Newark Harrison

Board to pursue the same tactics with
them that they would with individual
consumers, who are in arrears. viz. cut
off the supply The collection of the $25,-
600 due from the three named municipali-

TOO FREQUENT REPAIRS.
Thirteenth Street Viaduct Worries
the Fire Departments.

The frequent blockading of the Thir-
teenth street viaduct to make repairs tc
the structure is causing firemen consider
able annoyance. The worst feature is the
failure on the part of the contractors to
notify the fire officials when the viaduet
is blocked.
Not infrequently it happens that com.
panies below the Hill rushing for a fire
on the Hill. and companies on the Hill
responding to alarms for fires in the
northern section of lower Jersey City, find
themselves blocked and lose many minutes
of precious time. In fact their efforts to
reach fires when the viaduct is blocked
are practically useless.
Fire Chief Conway said this morning
that the failure to notify the fire officials
when the viaduct is blocked is uApardon-
able. He said he was going to take steps
to compel the contractors or workmen tc
give such notice.

KEEPING THE CITY BACK
Extraordinary Attitude Of
Mayor Hoos Towards Pub
lie Improvements.

A batch of applications for public i'm
provements have been pigeon-holed tenn
porarily by the Street and Water Com
missioners. This action is taken in ac-
cordance with the agreement made with
the Mayor that no improvements shall
be made which cost the city anything.
During the last year the indiscriminate
making of assessments threw a burden of
$130 coo on the city. That sum has to be
raised this year by direct taxation Mayor
Hoos is opposed to repetition of such an
occurrence.
Before applications for improvements
are acted upon in future, the Assessment
Commissioners will have to certify to the
Street and Water Board that the city
owns no lots on the line of the improve
nent which would be subjected to as
sessment. Very little public work will be
done this year, it is said.

the first detailed account of the bonn

tion of the fleet under the command of
Rear-Admiral Sampson on May y last.
The American warships sustained only
trivial injury and lost only one man
killed. After the engagement the 1.orfh
end of Morre Castle was in ruins, the
Cabras Island fort was silenced and the
San Carlos battery was damaged.
No shots were aimed at the city and it
is not known whether any damage was
done there. Spaniards at ST. Thomas
claim that a sehoolhouse was struck and
that the master and his pupils were
killed. But this is not though likely to
be true. as the bombardment took place
early in the morning and the school chill
dren are not likely to have been in the
building at the time.
