How a Complete Business
Course May Be Had in
Two Years.

AS business education for young girls
is growing more and more in favor. and
the number of applications for the busi-
ness department of the st. Aloysius
Academy has been steadily increasing. it
has been so enlarged that over one nun
dred pupils can be accommodated. The
rooms are large and well ventilated, the
equipments as complete as those in the
established business colleges, and the de-
partment is divided into three distinct
courses-the business course, the steno-
graphic and typewriting course and the
combination course
In the business course is taught a
knowledge of bookkeeping. commercial
law, descriptive economics, commercial
arithmetic, civil government, English

six pupils, twenty three of whom gradu-
ated a week ago, and sixteen of whom are
now filling positions. The examinations
were held on June 5 by James H Lans-
ley, Ph.D., of Lansley College. Miss Mary
Hopkins, of Englewood, came out valedic-
torian, receiving a gold medal and the
letter of congratulation
The combination course is the one for
which there is the greatest demand. 1t
is equal to the two years commercial
course in the High School, with steno-
graphy and typewriting added. Gradu-
ates from this course are qualified for
all around office work

LONG BRANCH BOAT FIGHT
Rival Lines Get Into Court of Cham


Vice Chancellor Stevenson in the Court
of Chancery yesterday, issued an order
compelling the New York and Long
Branch Steamship Company (Patten line1
TO show cause why it should not be en-
Joined from operating the, steamboat Lit
tie Silver. The order was issued on the
application of Robert Lawrence, counsel
for Gilbert H. Tuthill and Henry Breck-
wedel, minority stockholders of the New
York and Monmouth Park Steamboat
Company The bill of complaint shows
that the Patten line is controlled by
Thomas c. Patten and Walter r. Patten
and operates steamboats, between New
York and Pleasure Bay. The Little Sill
yer was the only boat the Monmouth
Park Company had and it was run in OPP
position to the Patten line. In April, 1888,
the Pattens leased the Little Silver, and
this killed the opposition. This was done
against the protest of the minority stock
holders. They now claim that they do
not get. their share of the Little Silver's
earnings, and they ask for an ac-
counting.

BECKER OUT ON Bail.


Robert Becker, the watchman for the
Shore Front Road in Hoboken, who on
Monday night last shot and killed 1S-year-
old William Miller, whom he says he
caught in the act of stealing brass jour
mails from a freight car, was released by
Judge Blair this morning in $4,000 bail
to await the action Of the Grand Jury.
Messrs. Palmer Campbell, Charles Gerdts
and John Dunn qualified as sureties.
The application for the release of
Becker was made by District Court Judge
Otto Grouse. He said there were no eye
witnesses of the shooting. Several serious
accidents had been narrowl averted by the
timely discovery of the theft of journals.
Becker was hiding in a car on the night
in question and when he heard some per-
son at the brakes he jumped out to place
the man under arrest. He was met with
a shower of stones, one of which, he says,
struck him. Becker claims he then fired
to frighten his assailant and the bullet
killed young Miller. He sent for an am
bulance and did all in his power to save
the victim of his revolver.

THE DEAD
George Ramsay May Die or
Lose an Arm Through
Ministering to a
Corpse.
PERILs OF UNDERTAKING
Two Doctors Fight Blood
Poisoning With the Knife
and Antiseptic Treat
ment.
PERILS OF UNDERTAKING

George E. Ramsay, employed by Under
taker Robert Elliott as an assistant. is
IN a serious condition as a result of blood
poisoning from a corpse. Ramsay had a
scratch on his hand and he did not take
sufficient precautions when handling a
body. The right hand and arm are af-
hicted and this morning it is feared that
amputation of the ring finger will be
necessary to save the hand.
Ramsay believes that the poisoning
came from rose thorn which entered
MS hand while he was handling some
mowers at funeral. The thorn remained
IN the flesh several days before he picked
1t out The wound bled and began to get
very painful. The doctors say that poi-
soning might result, but they believe the
wound made by the thorn was poisoned
oy the dead body and the effect is there
fore more deadly.
DOCTORS Frank Ramsay, brother of
the unfortunate man, and A. T. Muttart
nave made heroic efforts to save Ram
says life. Two operations nave been
performed. The first one, performed last
Thursday, was far from satisfactory. The
hand began to get very blue and the sec
cnd operation took place yesterday. This
promises to be successful The dead tis.
sues were cut away and the bones in the
palm and back of the hand were thor
oughly scraped, to clean away the deadly
matter.
ramsay resides with Undertaken El-
lott above the office on Communipaw ave-
nue., few doors from Grand street. He
rests easily today, SO DR.. Ramsays says,
ana he has a fairly good appetite. Last
night was the first time he secured sleep
since the affliction took a hold on him.
The doctors have taken unusual care to
dress the hand and arm to prevent the
disease from reaching a vital spot. The
arm has been plugged securely and anti
septic 'bandages used on the entire arm.
Dr. Ramsay said this afternoon thai an
other operation might be necessary to
save the hand, but that ring finger would
have to be taken off if no Improvement
were noticed by tonight. The safety of
the hand and arm depended on this, he
said.

SUGAR LOWER IN PRICE.

Notice was issued yesterday by the
American Sugar Refining Company that
their list prices for refined sugars had
been reduced 10 points, bringing the price
Of granulated sugar to 5.45 cents pound.
The same reduction was made by Ar
buckle Brothers.
The reductions are due to the lower
prices for raw sugars caused by weak
ness on the Stock Exchange. American
Sugar stock was weak on opening yester-
day, but rallied and the stock closed at
;7ss higher for the day This, it is said,
was caused by an understanding reached
between the competing interests in the

ing to report on time; Patrolman Jacob
Gassmann, of the Third precinct. for fall

the old panacea-that of fines-was the
only remedy for the killing off of such mi
crobes- The Board fined each two davs'

Gassman, whose reputation with his
superiors, from the Chief down. is good.

some other officer must have sent in a
signal at the same time. Sergeant O,Brien
exhibited the tape to show that there was
no report from Gassman, but said, so far
as he was concerned, he was willing to
give Gassman the benefit of the doubt.

Gassman was fined two days pay.

WHEAT OUTLOOK BRIGHT.
Present Prospect. Arc for a Boun,,ful

=
Harvest inthe Northwest.
Minneapolis, MINI. July s.-The Jour-
raj says: This is the most critical time
Ton wheat in the northwest The next
week or ten days will tell the story. As
thu situation exists today there is a
bountiful yield in sight. Against it some
unfavorable Influences are arising
Looking over the whole field there ara
found some minor Instances OF injury
from cut-worms, and local complaints
of damage from hail and rust In no in
stance have these complaints been sem
sational nor are they Widespread, yet,
iaken collectively, they show consider
able area of daTase.
Grasshoppers are menace In the Red
river valley. Cool weather and the per-
sistent combative efforts of the farmers,
aided by the growth of a small parasite
that kills the hoppers, have held down
their development and prevented serious
damage from this source to date.
Rust and hot winds are 20 be feared
What is needed to insure the heavy
yield IS a period OF warm. breezy wealth
or. Still and very hot weather would be
bad as II would undoubtedly breed rust.
Most important of ALL however is the
fact that the northwest does not want
any more rain at this time. Already
there has been more than enough, and.
in many places, serious damage has
been done by too much rain.
There will be an early harvest this
year. Wheat is now headed out along
the lines of the Northern Pacific and at
some points farther north. In southern
Minnesota the crop is close to maturity
and II is probable harvesting will begin
as early as the 18th in some localities.
On the whole the northwest wheat
crop is in a state OF maturity beyond
the average for this date.
Corn has shown improvement, and in
general is in better condition than a
week ago.
Barley and oats have held up we'll
and the promise previously indicated
has been fully maintained.
Spring rye is we'll along everywhere
and winter rye will be ready for har-
vest in few days.
The flax acreage has suffered from toe
much moisture and lack of sunshine
