MINKS WANT A SCHOOL
They Ask the Board of Finance
to Make the Appropriation.

A well attended meeting of the Minka-
kwa Republican Club was held last night,
at its quarters, Ocean, near Danforth
avenue. The Minkakwa Club feel that
the Greenville section has not received
proper consideration regarding its schools.
Since the burning of No. 20, last winter,
the pupils have been put to considerable
inconvenience and expense by being
obliged to travel to School No. 15 on
Dwight street, which is the extreme
north end of the Greenville section. The
Minks discussed the school subject last
night, and adopted the following resoiu-
tom
whereas. The Greenville section Of
Jersey City has been without adequate
public school accommodations since Feb
ruary IL, 1893, by reason of the destruction
by fire of Public School No. 20; and
Whereas The work of erecting a new
school Is unnecessarily delayed by reason
of the failure of the Board Of Finance to
make the appropriation asked for by the
Board of Education on the ground that
the system Of ventilation proposed for
the new building is too costly; therefore
be it
Resolved, That we, the members of
the Minkakwa Club, hereby request the
Honorable Board of Finance to appro-
pirate the sum asked for by the Board of
Education as the citizens of the Green
vile section are as much entitled to the
consideration of the Board of Finance as
other sections which have been provided
with improved up-to-date schools with
out being forced to urge the necessity of
the same.
Resolved That we hereby place our
selves on record as favoring the best sys-
tenn of ventilation, heating. ETC., that can
be provided for the new school, we be-
lieving that the health of the school chill
dren is a paramount to every other ques-
ton. Physicians and engineers agree
that the system Of ventilation proposed
for the new school is the best and most
sanitary, and in view of that fact we pro-
test against the modification of the same
Resolved That whereas car fares for
children attending No, Is School are con.
stantly increasing, delay on the part OF
the Board of Finance will offset whatever
saving may be made by cutting down the
appropriation for the new school
Resolved, That a copy of these reso-
lutions be sent to the Board of Education.

forever.
so endeth the second chapter
Saphro gave the letter to Patrolman
John Gerken about eight o'clock He was
in such a hurry to catch a ear that he
did not wait long enough to explain the
circumstances connected with the find
The letter was written on the back of a
response TO an appeal, dated October II,
1897, of the Third avenue railroad and
John Hunt, a furniture dealer against
whom it purported that Judgment for
$1,000 had been obtained by Keegan
Keegan figured in the document as being
hurt in a collision between a car on the
Third avenue line and furniture truck
owned by Hunt. at Forty-eighth street,
New York, August 80, 1894
The document is a printed proof sheet
of Keegan's counsel's reply to the appeal
of the railroad. company. 1t recited the
accident. telling how Keegan, who was a
passenger on the car, received a heavy
blow on the head when the car and furni-
ture wagon collfded. He had been doz-
ing and the blow wakened him. Not
knowing on whom to place the blame he
sued both the railroad and furniture
dealer and obtained damages from the
court for the amount named.
The Hoboken police notified the Bay
onne authorities of the finding of the let
ter. They are inclined to regard it as
notification of a premeditated suicide.
Some time ago a letter Of highly SEN
sational character was found on ferry
boat of the same company. Investigation
proved it to be the work of some versa
tile press agent

given in the note. He learned that Alex

years old. He is thought to be slightly
