sioner Bell Have Woray War

A wordy war between City Superinten-
dent Demorest and the Commissioners of
Public Instruction of Hoboken enlivened
the meeting of that body last evening.
The trouble arose over the effort of Mr.
Demorest to introduce the Pestolozzian
system of numbers in the Hoboken
schools. The system, Commissioner Bell
and others claimed, was taught by
"young inexperienced and illiterate teach
ers," who were not fitted to instruct the
teachers of the Hoboken schools.
Mr.. Demorest grew indignant over Com
missioner Bells remarks and said that he
proposed to introduce in the schools such
Improvement as he saw fit, and he would
not be dictated to by one or the whole
board of commissioners. The motion
made to introduce the system was de-
bated for over an hour.
The City Superintendent introduced let
ters recommending the Pestollozzian sys-
tenn from County Superintendent A. J.
Murphy, w. H. El6ridge and other
school men. but when questioned could
not name one prominent city where the
system is used in the schools. 1t was
finally adopted by vote of 5 to 8.

FIGHT AMONG FRIENDS.
Four Italians Made a Sen
sation and Police Knew
Nothing.

| Chief of Police Murphy discovered last
night that a serious fight, in which three
| men were either shot, or stabbed, or both,
occurred Sunday night within snort
| distance of Police Headquarters, and
that efforts were being made to hush the
| affair up. The fight was among Italians,
who live in the colony on lower Railroad
avenue. The two brothers Mele, were
arrayed against the two brothers, Yanki.
The Meles, Francisco and Grahine, live
at No. II Railroad avenue. Augustine
and Dominica Yanki live at No. "a Rail-
| road avenue. The men came from the
same village in Italy. They have known
each other since they were boys Never
until Sunday night did they quarrel
Sunday at 10 o'clock the Meles and Au-
gustine YaAki were in the saloon of
Thomas S.sta, No. % Railroad avenue,
| with a crowd of other Italians. Angus
tine Yanki got into a row with one OF
the Italians and Grahine Mele interfered.
Yanki turned on him and with knife
held in his hand cut Grahine on the wrist.
Then Grahine and Augustine fought
their way to the street. Augustine in the
melee was cut on the lip and on the left
arm. Francisco Mele took his brothers s
part against Augustine Yanhi
Dominica Yanki, who was outside the
saloon, when he learned what was going
on whipped out a revolver and fired five
took effect Francisco Mele was shot in
the right leg and in the forehead above
| the left eye. The latter shot nearly proved
fatal. bullet grazed the back of Gra-
hines head. He was not seriously
wounded.
In spite of the fact that the shooting
occurred on thoroughfare where there
is much travel at night the police learned
nothing of it until yesterday afternoon.
When Chief Murphy learned of it he
sent Detectives McNally, Doyle and Gal
lagher to investigate They arrested the
Mees and the Yankis.
Each of the prisoners made statement
TO Chief Murphy. The Meles told the
story of the shooting and stabbing as
above.
Dominick YanlSi denied firing any shots.
He declared that he was in bed when the
trouble occurred and knew nothing of it
until yesterday morning.
Augustine admitted fighting in the
saloon, but declared that he did not stab
Grahine in the wrist. He said that his
own injuries were inflicted by Grahine
and that he had to flee from the saloon
to save his life as Grahine was attack
ing him fercely with a knife.
Chief Murphy learned that the Italians
went to New York yesterday morning and
had their wounds dressed by a doctor on
Elizabeth street. fearing to go to
Jersey City physician who might have
told the police.
These Italians said Chief Murphy,
do not care to bother the police with
their fights. They settle them among
themselves by shooting or stabbing.
When an Italian is injured he seeks re-
venge by attempting to kill his assailant."
Police Justice Nevin held the prisoners
for examination.

The first game was between Captain Sui

team. The former conceded handicap
Of 40 pins to the latter. 1t was good
game so far as actual scores went. Sui
livan's forces scored the most pins. but
as they did not overtake the handicap,
they lost. The margin was IA pins. John
Keane was high with 49,

The big tournament at Woods Hall al

| three good series were boWled. The III
| terest in this event seems to grow daily.
| The scores were so good and some of the
games so exciting last night that the en-
| thusasts were very much wrought up
during the contests.
| The first series brought Corydon and
| Paperlein out against Buchtenkirk and
Duke, the cracks from Greenville This
was looked upon as promising some rare
sport, but Corydon and Paperlein went
| into the game with all the skill and deter
mination they could muster. The Celery
vile pair were beaten in the first game
by l3 pins. Duke was high with 1888. Buch-
tenkirk lost the game. The second game
was Just as close, and resulted the same
as the first, so that Corydon and Paper
lein carried off the series without the
trouble of third game.
Buchtenkirk and Duke remained on the
alleys and Hanley and Fuessel, who have
been paying much attention to bowling iii
Unon Hill appeared to try conclusions
with the Greenvillites. Thus it was the
north of the county against the south,
ana it was a battle royal. The first
game went to the south by majority of
40 pins. The Union Hill experts were
beaten man to man Duke got 1874. The
second game saw the tables turned and
Buchtenkirk and Duke bowed down to
their defeat gracefully. Fuessel got in a
couple of good lcks that gave him POI.
Both needed the last game, and it was
hinghly interesting. Hanley and Fuessel
went in like brothers and bowled as one
man. They made strike for strike, spare
for spare, pin for pin, and ended with the
excellent scores of 202 each Their ma
jority was 40 pins.
Paperlein and Corydon then went forth
to meet Hanley and Fuessel, the st.
MichaePs Club pair, who were doing good
business all the time. They bowled in
excellent form the first game. Paperlein
got 1913 and Corydon got POI. They won
the game by so pins, and it looked bad for
their opponents. The only chance the
Union Hill contingent had was to win the
next game and Hanley came forward as
usual with the trump card in the form of
2O5 and Fuessel trailed along with enough
to carry out their intention. The last
game decided that Hanley and Fuessel
were the best of the quartette. They won
by 80 pins. Hanley was again the respon-
sible party with total of 1913. The scores:

AN ORIGINAL THIEF.
He Exchanged Articles OF His Own
For Those He Stole.

The police of the Montgomery street
station are looking for a seedy individual
who, it is thought succeeded in robbing
two flats at No. 800 Summit avenue on
Friday afternoon last. Mrs. H. Perry
who has the apartment on the top floor
was the first to discover her loss. She
discovered that four gold rings and dia-
mond brooch were missing. In their
place were left several packages of tea
and coffee. This makes the police think
that the fellow who committed the theft
was fake peddler and a sneak thief.
The apartment of Mrs. B. Carmody on
the ground floor was also entered by
means Of a false key, and her husbands S
cutaway coat and new shoes were stolen.
An old overcoat and old pair of shoes
were left in their stead. A good cigar
which was on the mantel piece was also
TAKEN.
The robberies were committed between
one and three o'clock, while both families
were absent. The police have no idea
who the thief is. An investigation is be-
ing made

streets.
hands of the contractors for several days
and it is confidently expected that large
number of bids will be received and the
competition keen.
These specifications prepared by the
architects, Messrs. Brite & Bacon, are
very thorough, going into the minutest
detail The general working plans ac-
companying them are nineteen in number
and there are at least a dozen for plumb
ing, heating and ventilating.
One of the general conditions imposed
on contractors is that estimates shall be
furnished in two ways: First in lump
sum- including all the work in the speci-
fcations, and secondly as separate con-
tracts.
1t is laid down that should the contracts
be sub-divided and not given to general
contractor, then each Individual contrac-
tor will be held directly responsible for
his work, just as if he were a general con-
tractor. In that case all contractors will
be required to cooperate to facilitate gem
eral progress of the work.
Contractors must give a bond of one
half the amount of their contract, which
will be in force for one year after the
work has been accepted and no lien shall
be filed by any sub-contractor or material
man shall be filed for this operation.
After providing safeguards for materi-
ais to be furnished and workmanship, the
specifications require each contractor to
furnish the architects with a schedule of
prices on which his proposal is based be-
fore signing the contract. This schedule
will be the basis for all payments of
work done.

is accepted and he shall be responsible
and liable for its safety to the amount
of money paid to him on account of the
same.
Within one year of the completion of the
building the contractor is held responsible
for and must make good defects discov-
cred in the work, whether from shrinkage.
settlement or faults of labor or material.
Finally the building is to be finished
and turned over to the trustees complete
within eleven months from time of sign
ing contract, and if not finished within
that time the contractor shall forfeit such
reasonable sum of money as the trustees
may fix at the time Of signing the con-
tract.

MANHoLE CAUSES HORSES DEATH

The residents in the neighborhood of
Summit avenue and Academy street were
awakened about three o'clock yesterday
morning, by hearing six pistol shots in
rapid succession. Visions of burglars
passed through their minds and some
thought that an organized band of thieves
was being chased.

horse was being sent into another world.
The animal was the property of Bor-
denis Condensed Milk Co. A manhole
head broke as the horse was on it and
the animals right hind leg was broken
by falling in the hole.

and the opening game of home and

one of the most exciting of the season
