MURPHY AND HOOS.
Good Authority for Believing
They Will Be Police
Justices.

There was no abatement this morning
in the interest taken in the Mayors ap-
pointments which it was said at the CITY
Hall had all been agreed upon and were
all ready to be announced tomorrow.
There is as much speculation as ever as
to who the lucky men will be and no one
can be found who has any definite idea OF
what names are on the list Few people
agree except as to one feature OF the list
and that is that Messrs Ringle and Lem
beck will succeed themselves as members
of the Board of Finance.
1t was stated on the authority of one
who is in a position to know that the
new Police Justices will be Assemblyman
James ]. Murphy and Edward Hoos, the
present efficient secretary of the Mayor
In view of what the Mayor said recently
there SENS to be some doubt as to young
Mr.. Hooss appointment but every one
who pretends to know anything has no
doubt of Mr.. Murphys appointment.
Any ones guess is as good as any one
else's as to the other appointments and
every one can predict for himself.

Moles and Heagohogs as Fighters

NIoles, clumsy and almost blind, be-
come perfect demons when they quarrel.
No one knows what they quarrel about,
but when they once start lighting one
has to die. They will keep on in the pre-
sence of any number of spectators,
hanging on to each other like bulldogs
and burying their enormously strong
teeth in one another's flesh. Hedgehogs,
another type of the quiet, inoffenslve
looking animal, not only fight but always
to the death, and when one is killed the
other generally devours him. Hares, on
the other hand. are proverbially the most
tirnid of creatures, yet a fight between
two hares is a ludicrous sight, as they
skip and jump over each other. But a
blow from hind legs of hare is no
joke to his opponent Among birds. rob
ms are the most pugnacious. Robins be-
come so frantically set on killing each
other that they allow themselves to be
picked UP in the hand Of q locker on
without even stopping to catch their
breath.

PASTOR GETS A JUDGMENT
Mr.. Green's Trustees Owed
Him $3.50 for Back
Salary.

The Rev. William Green of the Mt.
Zion Colored Baptist Church of Lafay-
ette obtained judgment in the First Dis
trict Court this morning for the sum of
$3.50, which sum was due him for back
salary. The trustees of the church were
the defendants.
The troubles of this congregation and
their pastor have been many. Several
bitter controversies threatened at one
time to dissolve the organization and for
about two weeks, while the courts were
deciding the disputes, the church was
closed.
Green's forces finally won, forcing their
way into the building after breaking two
locks put on by the factionists opposed to
him.
The members who had fought the pas
tor for several weeks finally decamped,
leaving Green in possession. They or
ganized a new church on Johnston ave
nue., where services are now being heid
Green's church is in bad way imam
cially. The funds are low and a great
deal of difficulty has been experienced IN
meeting the current expenses. No salary
has been paid to the pastor for several
months. The congregation is growing
smaller and unless there is decided
change in the situation within few
weeks the church will most likely be
closed. The organization was formed by
Pastor Green and few others, who fur
nished the pulpit and furniture. The
place of service is on Lafayette near
Halladay street

neighbors had told him that the man had
been lying there for several hours.
Approaching the body Tunt recognized
1t as that of man who was arrested
three weeks ago as disorderly person
and when arraigned in the Second Grim
inal Court declared he would soon end
his existence. The face was pallid. Some
thing that looked like a scar marked the
chin from the lower corner of the mouth.
The scar, however, looked old, but stains
on the lapel of the coat upon which the
chin rested, told the tale of suicide from
either carbolic acid or some other scald-
ing poison.
Three meetings ago McGrath was em-
ployed at Hanleys boarding stables, just
across the way from the spot on which
he took his life. Later on he was em-
ployed at Burke's stables in Brunswick
street. Mrs. Hanley, who identified the
body, had in her possession a policy cer-
tificate showing that McGrath's life was
insured with the Hancock Life Insurance
Company for $780, The policy was issued
on Christmas Day of last year and was
paid for up to June next, and the unfor-
tunate mans daughter, Clara, of Jester,
Massachusetts, was made the beneficiary.
The body was removed to Speer's
morgue.

the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Associa-

master of the situation, and all that is to
take place apart from the essentially de-

him.
This is the result of a long conference
held yesterday by the association in its
semi-annual meeting. 1t was freely ad-
mitted that many things were permitted
last year which, If granted further license,
will eventually overthrow the spiritual

DR.. AYLESWoRTH HoNoREO.

A reception to the Rev. DR.. Aylesworth
was held last night under the auspices of
all the societies connected with Simpson
Methodist Church. Presiding Elder John
R. Wright presided. Excellent talent
talent made up an unusually attractive
programme. Some of the talent came
from New York. DR.. Aylesworth was
congratulated upon his good work by Mr..
w. P. Crooks The Rev. 7. G. Mayham,
of Grace Methodist Church, also made an
address. Mr. Darby gave a recitation and
Misses Hiatt and Bird contributed a splen-
did vocal duet.
In his Introductory remarks the chair
man called attention to the fact that the
past year had eclipsed even that of last
year as a record breaker in the prosperity
of the church. Dr. Aylesworth has been
pastor for three years. The financial re-
ceipts were $500 ahead of last year, but
this year they are over $50 ahead of last
year, while the membership has increased
from 450 to 6S6 in the past three years.

HOBOKEN A DOG TOWN
Heller Says CANNES Will
All Want to Live
There.

When the Common Council of Hoboken
relinquished its authority in the public
overseeing of CANNES and transferred II
to the Health Commissioners, the latter
Board assumed charge of its new respon-
sfbility earnestly The adoption of a
new ordinance regulating the ownership,
care and conduct of dogs was the first
matter and the Commissioners went
about the work with zeal The ordinance
has passed its first and second readings,
and at the next meeting of the Commits
sioners it will be adopted. The ordinance
is the best one of its kind Hoboken has
ever had, but it has one serious fault.
Persons who do not secure licenses are
fined $40, and to enforce payment the or
dinance provides that failure to pay may
be punished by imprisoned. The ordinance
does not fix the term of Incarceration.
According to the ordinance as it now
is,r said President Samuel Helfer, yes
terday, to a reporter, "a man could DC
kept in prison for life if he We're daring
enough to keep a dog without license.
That, of course would be strict inter-
pretation of the provisions of the ordl-
nance, but it is the correct one. we
intend to rectify this omission, which is
nothing but an oversight, as we want the
ordinance to be perfect in every respect
before it becomes a local statute.
..The Health Commissioners intend hay-
ing the best possible system for dogs.
.eWe will get the Tax Commissioners to
appropriate several thousand dollars Tor
a new pound. The dog catchers won't pc
rough men without compassion for DUMP
beasts. They'll be trained S. P. c. A. men
and will be provided with nets. When
they go abroad looking for stray dogs
without license tags they'll catch 'em as
gently as a scientist would scoop in rare
bird or butterfly. The dogs will not De
compelled to wear muzzles and Hoboken
will consequently have fewer mad ones
every summer.
'Well kill the unredeemed, impounded
ones with gas. A short stove, with two
pipes leading to closed chamber, Will
be all the apparatus necessary. Coal Will
be put in the stove, then charcoal Inc
gas that rises from this will be carried
by the pipes to the air-tight chamber,
where the dogs to be killed are led. Then
the room will be closed and trap will
let in a second gas-oxide. The dogs are
dead a minute afterwards. Vatcky will
cart the carcasses away. Well have two
regularly appointed killing days ana
yatcky will have to be at the pound on
those days or he won't get his money
That arrangement will insure him being
punctual. Oh, yes, we have thought the
whole thing out systematically and when
we have all our plans realized Hoboken
will be the town for dogs, as remarked
before. They'll all want to live here.

TABERNACLE'S PROSPECTS.
Committee Hopes to Awaken
Interest in the Work.

AT a meeting of the Christian Endeavor
Society of the Tabernacle branch of the
First Congregational Church, held on
Monday night, it was decided TO remain
in the building just as long as the church
was run Then if the trustees decide to
close up the old edifice, the society may
move to other quarters, but no steps IN
this direction have yet been taken.
The janitor, Thomas Whitaker, has
sent in his resignation to take effect on
May /. He has been janitor since last
september but has received no salary
since last January.
The congregation is dwindling to moth
ing. the funds have run out, and the
Hill church has been paying the bills
since the first of the year. The committee
in charge of the Tabernacle hope to
awaken some interest in the work. Un-
less the members of the Tabernacle take
part in the church work it will be neces-
sary to close the church.
