Resolve in favor of building for the

On motion by Mr.. Piummer of Penob-

Indefinitely postponed was reconsidered.
Mr.. PLTMMER: This was resolve
appropriating $500. as it came from ths
building which was partially destroyed by
fire at HalloWell. the Industrial School
for Girls. 1t appeared 10 the committee
that the extension was needed alfd could
be made very much more economically
when the repairs We're made on the burned
portion of the building than at any other
time, for the reason that the wall on the
side on which the extension was To b.
made would have to come down, anyway,
and consequently the extension could be
made much better and more economically
at the time the repairs We're made on the
burned portion, and they reported THIS
resolve. There were some differences in
the House in regard to the future of thar
institution, and in the course of proceed
ings there this resolve was indefinitely
postponed. 1t is now thought that tina
was an unWise action, inasmuch as the
property will probably come into th,
hands Of the .tate by virtue of the action
taken by this Legislature. and mat This

The Rev. William A. Reyes, assistant
rector Of the church, made the address
of welcome to the new rector upon behalf
of the parishioners.
Father Ryan, in responding to Father

in st. Bridget's Churc among the par
ishioners, as he had been in their midst
a number of years ago before he was
called away to other duties. He said
he was glad to receive such a welcemoe
from the people of his parish, and he
hoped the members of the different socie-
ties would cooperate with him so that
he might meet with success in his under
taking.
The new pastor will say his first mass
next Sunday morning.

NOVEL vIGILANTES.
Lafayette Residents to Make
a Raid on Cats.

Residents in the vicinity Of Halliday
| and Lafayette streets are thinking ser
| iously of organizing a vigilance commit
tee for the purpose of making midnight
| attacks on the band Of musical feaines
that gather on stoops, back fences and
yards. Of late the nuisance has increased
in such volume thai the weary have
| been deprived of hard earned rest.
AS a result of the midnight rehearsal OF
these unsteady inclined Toms and
.erabbies," the morning finds scattered
| about the yards and stoops a great pro-
| fusion of old shoes. bootjacks, coal and
| other small pieces Of furniture that come
| handy to the disturbed sleepers.
one OF the sufferers suggested register
| ing a kick with the Board of Health
| against the cats. This recalls to m nd the
story of a crank in Greenville, who APP
| pealed to an officer about three o'clock TO
have him stop a dog from barking. TIE
kicker became highly indignant when
told that the dog had a perfect right to
| give vent to his feelings, n that the
| officer had no power to stop it from
barking.
This vigilance committee, If organized,
| viii have it's members scattered in con-
venient places about the neighborhood,
| armed with popers. shovcls, clubs and
any other formidable Weapon. AT the sight
Of a cat the members arc to let fly, and
| all are earnestly requested to make their
| aim deadly. It will now be a common
| sight to see the residents Dracticing
| throwing at objects in their yards.

DELAYED ONCE AGAIN.
This Time It Is the Engine
at the Pacific Avenue
Bridge.

Once again work on the construction Of
the bridge over the canal at Pacific ave-
nue. is delayed. This time no legal OBJ
stacles are in the path of the contractor,
but it is the need of a new engine which
now causes the exasperating delay. The
engine used heretofore got out of keller
by being exposed to all kinds of weather
during the winter and spring months.
Consequently a new engine is needed and
work has revived once again.
So far all the work done is the building
of concrete foundations for the abuttment
walls, which will act as a rest for the
mass of iron work. One layer Of granite
stones has been laid on the foundation at
the south side of the canal. That was
as far as the work proceeded. Until the
engine arrives work win remain at a
standstill.
The iron for the top of the bridge has
not yet arrived. This was to have been
sent a month ago. according to state
ments made by the engineer to the Board
of Fr~eeholders.
Pedestrians are registering kicks daily
at the delay. and truckmen suffer great
Inconvenience They are forced to drive
a mile out of their way.
The rude wooden structure hastily con-
structed over the canal Is going to rack.
Many people are afraid to travel over it,
either in the cars or on foot.

Louis Du Ronde. of No. 43 Second

Du Ronde, hearing the branch cracking
jumped out from his shelter and unfor-
tunately ran under the falling limb. He
was struck on the top of the head and
Knocked senseless.
Some one passing saw the plight of
the unfortunate man and notified a
policeman. The patrol wagon was called
and the injured man was sent. to the
City Hospital. His condition is serious
The heavy wind which came before the
short shower last evening left tsaces OF
its unpleasant visit in some parts of the
Bergen section. All along Bergen avenue
large and small branches OF trees We're
blown down and scattered about the
streets and on the sidewalks.
On West Side avenue the same scenes
were to be witnessed. Big boughs were
broken off from large shade trees and
lodged on the walks, causing pedestrians
to make circuitous courses through deep
mud holes in order to pass.
