There was meeting of some of our
citizens st Ashburn s. James store
Tuesday night TO discuss ways and
means for better communication between
the two parts of our-Eillage. The foot.
way across coves, as suggested in this
paper, was discussed, but much objection
was found among canoe owners in view
of the drawbridge part to the walk way.
We think this would be of very little
annoyance as at morning and evening a
small draw could be easily rolled back,
there being an ice hook with which
any one wishing to cross could easily pull
it back into place. The meeting decided
to construct shell walk-way from Irv-
ing's to w. L. Ashburn's gate, and
about forty dollars was subscribed for
that purpose.

The constant rattle of dishes on the hard tables and the believing of the walters as they announced their orders to the cooks at the end of Cne room made him nervous. When the busy waiter deposited his order before him the young man began fusillade of reproach on the substantial but homely siands. Do you call that veal cut let?" he demanded of the waiter.

Few people are aware that Gounod once, in moment of anger, tore up the manuscript of an opera he had composed, and. thodgh he afterwards repented c hls action. he was quite unable to recall it's melodies. Gounod's s opera "Faust" was nearly lost to the world by the religious scruples of the great composer. About the time he wrote it he determined henceforth only to write sacred music, but, happily for posterity. he thought better of his reso- lution.

JACOBS ARRESTED AGAIN.
Man Who Was Released by North
Bergen Justice Caught in Newark

William Jacobs, who was arrested last
Wednesday week ago at the Tri-State
Fair at Gutenberg, charged with being
pickpocket, and was later discharged by
Justice of the Peace Blucher of North
Bergen, without the knowledge of the po-
lice, was arrested yesterday in Newark
and brought to this city today The New
ark police had been notified of Jacobs's
work here, and they arrested him.
Jacobs was arrested at the Tri-State
Fair by ex-Chief Callahan, on complaint
Of George Walters, of No. Boulevard
this city, who said Jacobs had attempted
to steal his watch. Jacobs was searched
by the police and a valuable gold watch
was found on him. The police concluded
that the watch had been stolen and it was
turned over to Chief Murphy to await a
claimant. In the meantime Jacobs was
held to await further examination by
Blucher. The police let the matter rest
there, believing that the prisoner would
have to face the Grand Jury. The day af-
ter Jacobs's commitment for further ex-
animation Blucher appeared before Chief
Murphy with an order for the watch
found on Jacobs. He explained that
evidence. The Chief refused to hand over
the watch and notified the police of sur
rounding cities that Jacobs was wanted
here. His arrest in Newark followed. The
prisoner was held this morning for further
examination by Police Justice Hoos.

more than a week past there has been in

day the water in the river was lower
than at any time since 1859 At the Fair

day with two sessions. The morning will

DIDN'T like JAIL
Hellstern Preferred Marriage
to a Long Term in
States Prison.
CIVIL SUITS QUAsHED
Druggist Will Not Have to
Pay His Father-in-Law
Damages.
CIVIL SUITS QUASHED

With the prospect of a long term of
Imprisonment staring him in the face
Gustav Hellstern, the young druggist who
was convicted Wednesday afternoon in
the Court of General Sessions on GRIM
inal charge preferred by Miss Mary
Materka, of No. Ais Spring street, West
Hoboleen, concluded he would rather
marry her Accordingly information of
this fact was communicated to Judge
Blair and Assistant Prosecutor Van
Wrinkle.
1t was understood that Miss Materka
was still willing to become Mrs. Hellstern.
OF course marriage would mean the
groom's discharge from Jail and the dis
continuance of the two civil suits pending
against him in the Essex county courts
in which the young lady AID her father
are the plaintiffs
1t was shortly after four o'clock when
Hellstern, accompanied by Constable
Egan and Assistant Prosecutor Van Win
kle, started from the jail en- route to the
prospectice brides home, where the cere-
mony was to be performed. 1t must be
admitted that the groom to-be was not in
very happy frame of mind. No doubt,
however, he was buoyed up by the thought
that Mr.. Van Wrinkle had in his pocket
much priced wedding gift in the shape of
a discharge from Jail which was to be
handed to him Immediately after the cere-
mony.
At the brides home arrangements had
been all completed The complainant in
Wednesdays criminal proceedings seem
ed happy despite the fact that the two
most conspcious male attendants at the
wedding were the two court officials.
Justice of the Peace Eichman, who lives
near by was hastily summoned and the
ceremony was soon performed
Mrs. August Hoffman,, acted as brides
maid and former clerk to the Grand
Jury, friend of the bride, was best
man.
During the ceremony Mrs. Materka,
mother of the bride, was in tears. When
the words making them man and wife had
been pronounced by the Justice Hellstern
walked from the side of his bride but was
recalled by her. A brother of the groom
was the only one of his relatives present.

DISFIGURED FOR LIFE.
Baby Girl Burns Herself With
Carbolic Acid.

Rose Kelleher, three years old, of No.
55S Grove street, had narrow escape
from being poisoned late yesterday after
noon. Mrs. Kelleher was busy in the par
lor and Rose was in the kitchen.
The baby climbed on a chair in front of
the mantelpiece in the kitchen, and see
ing a small bottle there, removed it and
started to swallow it's contents The bot
tie contained carbolic acid. When the
child raised it to her lips she shrieked
with pain, and ran to her mother.
Rose was in such agony that Mrs. Kelle-
her was bewildered and rushed to the
kitchen with the baby. Rose saw the bot
tie on the floor and pointed it out to her
mother. Mrs. Kelleher picked it up, and
to ascertain what it contained poured
what little was left in it on her right
hand. She was of course Immediately
burned by it. 1t then dawned upon her
what the deadly stuff was.
Mrs. Kelleher ran with the child to
Phillips's drug store, where the clerk in
charge said the child had swallowed some
of the acid A doctor was summoned, who
found that the baby had not swallowed
the acid, but was only burnt on the lips
and chin where the acid had touched her
and flowed down on the neck. She will be
disfgured for life.
The mothers burn is not so bad as there
was very little acid left in the bottle. She,
however, will also be SCARED.
