He WOULD BE A SOLDIER.
Young Blakey Enlists But Is Rescued
by His Sister.

William Blakey, a son of Samue j.
Blakey, the well known produce merchant
in the lower section of the city, is very
anxious to enlist and become a soldier,
very much against the wishes of his
parents. who don't want him to be one
of Uncle Sans brave men, but would
rather have him stay at home. Last
week young Blakey got desperate and
was determined h he would enlist
whether his parents liked 1t or not, and
proceeding down Montgomery street he
stopped in front of the United States re-
cruiting station, where Captain II. H.
Benham is receiving recruits daily for
the two new artillery regiments to be
named the Sixth and Seventh.
Young Blakey passed the necessary ex-
animation and then received his orders
as when to report for duty. He then de-
parted and came back among his young
friends in the neighborhood of York and
Warren streets, and he was so elated at
having passed the examination that he
could not refrain from telling them OF
his good luck. He also impressed upon
their memories not to let it get to his
relatives ears. as they were not aware
that he had enlisted.
Young Blakey, after passing the neces-
sary examination in this city, was taken
to Third avenue and Ninth street. New
York city, and after receiving his twenty
cent dinner, which is paid for by the
Government, he was told that he could
return to Jersey City If he wished, but
must return to New York before nine
O'Clock that evening.
Young Blakey came to Jersey City and
told his people he had enlisted and said
he wished to say goodbye before he went
away. He had no sooner uttered the
words when his Oldest sister Maggie and
4 si~ster-in-law of the family FASTENED te
the headquarters in New York and said
her large brother willie was not OF
age and could not join the army. After
a great deal of bother, as young Willie
had not vet been sworn In, he was al.
lowed to go home with his sister and was
told il he ever wanted to join he wouid
rave to get the consent Of hts parents
He is now kicking himself for coming
home to say goodbye.

the Democracy eleven prospective MEM
bers In the Commission while the Repub-
leans can have only. six. If this is the
case, it, at least. cannot be charged that
Democratic wickedness is to blame, be-
cause the bill was passed entirely under
Republican auspices and the blunder was
made by Republican heelers.
The intention was that the Chief Mag
istrate of each city and town in the
county should select one commissioner,
making twelve in all. and the Governor
should appoint twelve more. This. the
Journal thinks, was designed to pro-
vide for 4 Republican majority. seeing
that eleven of the Chief Magistrates Of
Hudson are Democrats. AS the bill act
ually passed. owing to a blunder in en-
crossing, it allows the Governor only FIVE
appointments.
We think. however, that the journal
mistakes the spirit in which the Commits
sion was projected. Indeed, we fail to
see where any great room for a display
of ~partisanship comes in, unless the Re-
publican party hoped to make a gerry
mander a feature of the new charter.
We do not think Governor VOORHEES,
would be likely to name twelve or even
five Republican commissioners, and it
does not absolutely follow that the eleven
Democratic appointing Magistrates in
Hudson should all select Democrats.
Fitness for the work should be the es-
sential point in the selection of these
men. and it is to be sincerely hoped that
both in their choice and in their subse-
quent proceedings they will forget that
there are any such things as party diff
ferences in the State. and study only the
public good.

RAvINE ROAD MATTER.
Hudson City Improvement As
ISOLATION Takes Prompt
Action.

The Hudson City Improvement Assoei-
alton held an interesting meeting last
night. A number of reports of commit
tees were received and several contem-
plated improvements discussed. In the
absence of Secretary Barbour. Mr.. Will
lam P. K~astenhuber was made secretary
pro TEN.
The committee on the proposed i'm
provement of Palisade avenue. through
Chairman Nicholas Witsch, reported that
the contract for the improvement had
been awarded and that work would be-
gin thereon within the next two or three
weeks. Chairman Hugh Sheridan, of the
committee on the Hoboken avenue sewer,
reported that rapid rogress was being
made on hat Improvement; that the loot
of the Hill had been reached. The COM
pletion of this sewer will abate the NUS
ance of frequent flooding of the southern
section of the Fourth district.
The committee on the new No. 26 School
reported that the building was going up
rapidly; that the inspector was carefully
guarding the interests Of the city.
On motion of w. p. K~astenhuber a com
mittee of three, Messrs. c. Neumann,
Baukahn and Plat. were appointed to
confer with a similar committee of the
Hudson City Business Mems Association
to bring about, if possible, the improve
ment of Ravine Road as soon as the new
Ravine Road sewer was completed. The
movement was started by the Hudson
Business Mems Association. The
Twelfth Ward Improvement Association,
the Merchants Protective Association
and all other local associations will be
asked to join in the agitation. Rayine
Road is the most convenient and natural
outlet from the Hudson City section of
the Heights into lower Jersey City. Near
" every merchant would like to see the
Improvement carried out. 1t has been
agitated a number Of times during the
past few years; but the objection has all
ways been tina the old sewer down the
side of the Hill was SO rotten that the
roadway was kept almost continually
flooded by it's frequent bursting. With
the new sewer completed this nuisance
will have been abated. It is proposed to
get up a mass meeting under the au-
spices of all the above named associa-
lions and thus arous interest in the
much desired Improvement.
