MAYOR HOGS ACTS.
Taxes a Hand In Efforts To
Clear Morgan Street For
the Public Use.

Mayor Hoos has heard the cry OF those
using Morgan street east Of Greene street
to the public dock, and this morning he
sent a letter to the Police Department,
requesting that body to at once see that
the nuisance complained of should be
abated by having the roadway cleared OF
greasy barrels, lumber and piles.
.It's an outrage that a public street
should be in such a condition a citizen
of that section said this morning. l am
sure that all who have occasion to use
the street to get to the dock will THANH
THE News for calling the Mayors at
tention to the street. I can't understand
what our police officials are about to per-

long. Surely policemen ought to use their

time has come when we ought TO sena

them in their duty towards the puonc.

PROFESSOR, PUPILS AND PARENTS
All Attended the Twenty-sighth
Picnic Of the German School.

The twenty-eighth annual picnic of ).
Won Duisburg's German-American School
was held at Rudolph Freek's Oriental
Park, yesterday afternoon and evening,
and was a splendid success, despite the
shove of the afternoon. Some of the
children who participated were accom-
panied by their grandparents, who were
also pupils under Prof. Dufsburg, and in
these cases three generations of families
were represented.
The professor is a typical German ped
agogue and despite his age is still hale
and hearty. The children paraded through
the streets of Hoboken and marched to
the Park, reaching there about $50 P. M.
At $50 they were served with cake and
lemonade, after which a programme of
music, recitations and readings by select
ed pupils was enjoyed by the parents
present, who reached the Park by troll
ley. The recitations were alternately
German and English. Pupils of the Kin
dergarten took part in the exercises. At
seven o'clock ice cream and cake was
served.
The children romped over the smooth
floor of the big pavilion and through the
pretty park, which has been equipped
with swings and other picnic parapher-
MALTA, including a promenade on the cliff.
Their older brothers and sisters who ap-
peared early in the evening and many of
the parents enjoyed dancing. Excellent
dance music was provided.
The committee in charge of the ar
rangements was as foilows:-C. Delmer,
w. Forkel, A. c. Luppert, A. Merchung,
H. Meyer, o. PHugh, c. Sohenkerberg, C.
Schau, w. Wrede, r. Zoeh and c.. Zach
ummel. Some of the old pupils and par
ents present were Louis Blenderman, r.
Kaufman, Henry Meyer, M. Bagelman,
Charles Dieckmann, Messrs. John and
Joseph Koob, Mr.. and Mrs. William Web
mann, William Wrede, Mrs. John Peters,

CHAPLAIN EDWARDS LECTURE
interesting Comments on the Nava
Victories of the War.

A good sized and appreciative audience
last night thoroughly enjoyed a lecture
entitled "Reminiscences of a Life of Adj
venture by Chaplain Robert Edwards,
of the United States Naval Veterans, at
the James Methodist Church. The lecture
was given under the auspices of Union
Chapter, No. 400, of the Epworth League.
AT the close of the lecture refreshments
were served and some time was spent In
delightful social intercourse. Chaplain
Edwards came to his country from Sweden
in 1857. He is a cousin of the Swedish
nightingale. Jenny Lind; is talented and
possesses keen1y some Of the traits of
lyon Yonson, YentIeman.' He is fond
of adventure. of wit, which he charming
ly blends with pathos, and he is a great
of truth and heroism.
His "reminiscences of Incidents that oc-
CURED in the navy during.the CIV War,
almost four decades ago, were made es-
pecially interesting by the manner in
which they were related. His comrades

Spanish war were also keenly felished-

uxarworked Certiorari.

The decision of the Supreme Court
Branch upon the Hon. Tom McEwanss
latest water contract eertiorari has NOT
been rendered yet. But, from the dispo-
sition shown by the Court, it can hardly
be doubted that it will be another knock
out for the frank element. This result
is almost a foregone conclusion.
But of what consequence is a defeat, If
Mr.. McEwan and his allies can go back
into court in a week or a month and
make the same old application over again,
upon the same old grounds, with the
same old hackers, the same old "argu-
ments' and the same old tears. They
can keep on stirring up u~neasiness in the
public mind, and perhaps shaking The
confidence of capital in the security of the
enterprise-at any rate, causing worry
and expense to the contractors and d.
yerting their energies from the work
which they have undertaken to perform.
There ought to be a limit to the posi-
bIiities of vexatious litigation of this kind,
and perhaps the Court will find a means
of placing one. That question of Judge
Gummere's, as to how long the certio-
rarists thought they could count upon the
forbearance of the Court was very signif-
cant. There should be a way not only
OF stopping hlibustering motions, but of
making those, who resort to them, pay
for their fun.

valley Railroad. How long she canned
about the streets the police do not know
Patrolfaan Walsh, whose post of duty
extends 70 the canal bridge at Pacific
avenue, was walking along Grand street
when his attention was called to a crowd
of boys who were teasing a woman near
the freight station. Some We're throwing
stones and mud at her, others called her
names and pulled her clothing. and some
even went SO far as to chase her.
Walsh broke through the crowd of
young ruffians and saw at once that the
unfortunate woman was Ill. AT first 1t
was thought that she was under the IN
f1uehce of liquor. because her legs trembled
under her and her name of talking was
like that of a person suffering frofn over
indulgence.
The officer led her to the signal station
at Grand and Monmouth streets, where
he sent in a call for the patrol wagon. A
crowd of several hundred men, boys and
women gathered about the policeman and
his charge. From every window for a
block around people were seen looking
out.
When the wagon arrived Walsh came
to the conclusion that the woman was
too iii to be taken to the station house
and this information he sent to the Greg
ory street station. He was told TO ave
her sent to the City Hospital. About a
half an hour was taken up in the trip.
The doctors looked after her case i'm
mediately. Shortly after being put to bed
in the women's ward, she became very
delirious. She shouted and g~esticulated
wildly. All efforts to quiet here were of
no avail. She became unconscious about
nine o'clockaand she died shortly after.
Although she was questioned regarding
her name and residence. she gave the doc.
tors and patrolmen no information. Her
identity is unknown. She was dressed in
black with a light red shawl over her
shoulders and a black straw hat. She
was about fifty years old, weighed in the
neighborhood of 175 pounds and was five
feet eight inches tall.
The doctors at the hospital are uncertain
as to the cause of her death. 1t was at
first thought that the heat was respon-
sible, others say heart failure was the
cause and there are rumors that her death
was due to poison. The Couny Physician
will doubtless make an autopsy today to
determine the exact cause of death.
She must have been wandering about
for some time in the heavy storm of yes
terday afternoon as her clothing was
soaked through and through when the
patrolman found her. Her left eye was
badly discolored. 1t did not look as if he
injury was received from a fall. There
were no papers in her clothing whereby
her identity could be ascertained nor any
marks on the clothing.
