STONE CUTTERS DAY.
Local Dealers Have Shortened the
Hours Without Being Asked.

A number of Jersey City dealers In
granite and monument stone who employ
stone cutters, have decided to reduce
their employees working day from nine
hours to eight hours. The scale OF
wages. So. so per day will remain the same.
The stone cutters strike now in progress
in the Eastern State is partly responsible
for this change While there is no local
stone cutters union In this city, the
dealers thinking that their employees
might get up a sympathetic strike, DEEM
ed it wise move to adopt the eight
hour working day. There are a large
number of stone cutters in this county.
and should they ever organize and decide
to strike the stone dealers would be heavy
losers.
The work on the new Public School.
No 20, on Danforth avenue, was delayed
for time because of the inability Of the
contractor to get stone from the Eastern
qlarries, which were tied up by the
strike

Have That Article
Cheap.

City Collector Robert Davis, when asked
his opinion this morning on the ice trust,
in New York. said
IF the ice trust attempts to do busi-
ness in Jersey City / will use what in
.fiuence. I possess with the Board of Alder
men to have an ordinance passed increas-
ing the license fee on all wagons. will
also urge that an ice company be formed
in this city to compete with the
trust and sell this necessary article at a
lower rate than is possible for the trust

entitled to this necessary article at the
lowest price possible, and if I have any
thing to say they will have it."

AN UNNATURAL MOTHER.
Shocking Story of Hoboken
Depravity in Court of
Chancery.

A habeas corpus case which has behind
it tale of astonishing depravity. in Ho-
boken, came up before Vice Chancellor
Pitney in the Court of Chancery this
morning. William H. Stuhr for William
Kramer, of Hoboken, obtained writ of
habeas corpus commanding Bridget KEN
nedy to produce in Court his three chill
dren, Charles, eight years old; John, six
years old, and William, four years old.
In his petition Kramer sets forth that
on July 2, 1891, he was married to Della
Kennedy in the City of Hoboken, where
he has since lived. His wife became
addicted to drink and became so inten-
perate in her habits that they agreed to
separate in November, 1899. The wife
took the children and went to live on
Monroe street, where she lived until
April "a last, when she was arrested and
sent to the Penitentiary ON Snake Hill
for ninety days upon charge of keeping
a disorderly house. The testimony on this
point is particularly revolving. When the
mother was sent to Snake Hill, Mrs. Ken
nedy, her mother and grandmother of the
children took possession of the three boys
and so the petition charges refused to
give them up to the father.
Mrs. Kennedy was in Court this MORN
ing with her counsel, George DAILY, but
without the children. Mr.. Daily explained
that Mrs. Kennedy was willing to give up
the two older children, but the youngest
was not in her custody 1t was then
brought out that William had been given
to married sister of his mother with his
fathers consent: that this woman was a
fit and proper person to have the custody
of the child and that the father was will
ing he should remain there. This was
satisfactory to the court and an order
was made accordingly.

loyalty being trumped up against Mr..
Reed. This was because Mr.. Burns was
beaten for seat in the County Com

withdrawn and Mr.. Reed was exonerated.
After this little scrap had been settled,

BOY DROWNED IN CANAL
James Shannon Met His
Death With Five People
Watching Him.

The sudden spell of hot weather caused
the death of sixteen year old James Sham
non, of No 49O Communipaw avenue, yes
terday afternoon. Young Shannon with
two other boys went swimming IN the
canal to escape the heat. Shannon being
a poor swimmer became exhausted and
drowned in sight of five people. Ths
ambulance surgeon did all he could to re7
suscitate the lad.
The place where the boy met his death
is under the bridge of the Newark Branch
Of the Central Railroad, and just west OF
the Grifing Iron Works. All three boys
soon divested themselves Of their clothes
and were disporting in the water, when
Shannon became weak and shouted to his
companions to come to his assistance.
Neither Of the lads attempted to SWIM
out and help the drowning lad. but simply
threw him plank. Young Shannon
grasped the board and held on for a few
seconds. His strength soon left him and
down he went near the bank where his
two companions were standing and
where Thomas O'Connor and Thomas
Ryer, two other ffteen-year-old boys, were
fishing.
The shouts of the quartette brought q
laborer from the iron works to the scene.
Shannon had gone down twice and was
about to sink the third time when the
laborer whose name could not be learn
ed, caught him. The man dragged the
unconscious boy to the shore, and secured
barrel and began to roll the boy over it.
A great quantity of water was forced
from the body in this manner.
The ambulance reached the scene too
late to be of any assistance. The Surgeon
worked over the boy for a long time,
without success. The body was taken to
the home of the parents of the lad.
Patrolman Schifmeyer, of the Conn
munipaw avenue station, questioned the
boys and asked them why they did not
go to the assistance of their companion
They replied that they thought throwing
out a plank was sufficient. The names
of these chaps were not learned. O'Con-
nor and Reyer who were fishing nearby
said that they could not swim and there
fore could render no assistance
The police in the future will keep q
sharp lookout for the boys who swim in
the canal. There haye been numerous
casualties and many complaints have
been lodged against the youngsters who
swim in the canal at all points along the
tow-path.

which, together with a balance from the
last quarter of the previous year, gives

Christ Hospital Guild of Hoboken has
a membership of Sc. and have raised over
$500 dollars during the year.
THE Medical Board has been unwearied
in serving the institution.
1.-The training school for nurses con-
tinues to become more and more efficient.
The enlarged institution demanded addi-
tional nurses, and the number of pupils
had to be increased. This was made pos
sible by the purchase by Mr.. ]. Hull
Browning of four city lots, with dwelling
house thereon. and his generous gift of
the same to Christ Hospital. The school
has graduated five nurses during the year.
There are now thirty-five graduates, and
there are twenty-three pupils and two
probationers.
''The apothecary has continued his will
ing services and the Council thank Mr..
William G.. Beardmore, Pho, for his gra-
tuitous work. He reports the prescrip-
tions to have been 13,147.
1.-THE increasing number of free patients.
602, as against $50 the previous year,
shows how the charity work keeps pace
WITH every euOrC IOr enlargement. 1liS
means increasing work to obtain new sub
scribers The churches also should take
more interest in our efforts to serve every
one of them who need our ministrations.
Hospital Sunday last year was stormy
day, and while thousand dollars is gem
orally received from this source, we re-
ceived only $241.47, and there was no effort
made by the churches to try and make
up their usual offerings.
'.At the end of the ten years we find the
property of Christ Hospital to consist of
twenty-six city lots with outbuildings
thereon; upon these lots has been COM
pleted the new Christ Hospital at cost
for land and buildings of $10S, 100
'"The endowment of beds in the Aber-
crombie Guild and the Council now
amount to $50, ,1S9, making a total of A72,-
289. There is a mortgage of $50, ,000 less
1000 in hand for payment upon the same
which leaves us cash value of s135, ,2S9
It will be thus seen that in ten years
there has been raised over S260.O00 for all
purposes, less about $4,000, which was
then on hand for endowments and build
ing fund, as shown by the last published
report of the work on Magnolia avenue.

LITERARY NOTES.

Maurice Hewletts new novel, Richard
Yea and Nay" has run through four
large editions in as many weeks. In re-
cent study of this writer's work Mr..
Hamilton w. Mabie says: I'm Richard
Mr.. Hewlett has drawn a portrait of eX-
traordinary human and artistic interest
a study of a complex character, executed
with mastery skill, and based on pro-
found study and insight. The beauty of
the narrative in many passages, is hardly
to be matched in recent English htera-
ture.
Seventy-five thousand copies of F. Ma
rion Crawford's new novel, I'm the Pal
ace of the King have been sold since
its publica ton four weeks ago.
The December issue of the 1nterna-
tional Monthly completes another vol
ume of this able magazine. In the two
volumes published this year appear most
valuable contributions to popular knowl-
edge of a wide and varied range of top
les and written especially for the Amer
lean reader. A glance over the contents
of the volume in hand reveals authorita-
tive essays upon international and do
mestic politics, commerce, literature art,
the drama, history, economics, trade
unionism, agriculture, geology, psychol-
ogy, sociology, religion, schools. Prob
ably the most noteworthy essay pub
lished during the year was by Alfred
Rambaud, the great historian of Russia
and a senator of France, who wrote on
1.-THE Expansion of Russia" and whose
account is practically a brief history of
that empire by the one best qualified to
write on the subject
