Board Of Health this morning from the
Germania Savings Bank, of New York,
requesting information concerning the
whereabouts of John Young, who. from
last accounts, lived at No. 15S Hudson

savings bank said Young opened an ac-
count in their institution in November,

sums until July %, 1886, since which
date he has not been seen or heard from.
The letter did not mention the amount
Young had deposited.
A reporter of '.The News" called at
the Hudson street address. AS the
houses have been renumbered since 1888

Freeholder Ellington and $.
P. G. A. Officer in Dis
pute Over a Dog.
TWO VERSIONS OF The CASE
Each Accuse the Other of
Saying Unparliamsntary
Things and an Arrest
Followed.
TWO VERSIONS OF The CASE

Freeholder James ]. Ellington had an
exciting experience early this morning
with officers Lambert and Rocktof, of
the S. P. G. A.
The Freeholder's dog was picked up
by Officer Rocktoff and thrown into the
wagon because it had no tag on. A dis
pute arose and Ellington was taken to
the Montgomery street station house by
an officer who eaale along at the time.
No charge was entered, and the Freehol-
der was allowed to go.
Two stories are told of the affair.
Rcckstatf, in statement to President
McCarthJ. of the S. P C. A., says that
he attempted to catch the dog without
tag, when Ellington started to run
away from him and he chased him. A
ruler cropped from Billington's pocket
and he stopped to pick it up. 1t was
then the dog was captured. Rockstaff
says that Ellington abused him, and
finally an officer came along and Rock
staff ordered him to. arrest Ellington.
The prisoner was taken to the station
h 5l,se hut no charge was made.
THE FREEHOLDER'S VERSION.
Ellington states that Rocktoff laid
hands on him and threatened to have
him arrested. He said he would not al
low the S. p. G. A. officers to arrest
him. Ellington, it is stated, will pre-
fer a charge of assault and battery
against Rocktoff in the morning.

CONGRATULATED MISS LEWIS

Weehawken Board OF Education
Losses Teacher by Marriage
Members of the Weehawken Board of
Education last night added little inter-
est to their usually prosaic duties by or
dering on the minutes Of the board a
resolution congratulating Miss Sarah
Lewis, a teacher in No. / School on her
marriage and wishing her all sorts of
happiness. The warrant for her salary
to September was passed and her resig-
nation. accepted.
Among the many reports presented
was one from Architect Dixon, who esti-
mated the damage, by fire to the new
school would amount to S727.50 and he
was authorized to adjust the loss with
the underwriters.
A complaint about the condition Of the
retaining wall between the school and
the Property of J. G. Moore was referred
to Architect Dixon.
The board was asked to permit Miss
Greenwood to use the kindergarten
room for her dancing class, but they fe-
fused it because they feared the dancers
would damage the kindergarten appur-
tenances.

new PLANKS NEEDED.
Fire Engine Crushes Part of the
Communipaw Avenue
Bridge Flooring.

Two fire engines, Nos. and Q, came
very nearly being wrecked about nine
o'clock this morning owing to the poor
condition of the bridge over the canal at
Communipaw avenue.
They responded to an alarm for fire
in the pantry of house, at No. 612
Woodward street. They came rushing
down the Communipaw avenue hill at
top speed. The drivers We're totally ignor-
ant of the condition of the south side of
the bridge and kept on their course.
No. 8 engine struck the bridge first
The big planks were so rotten that they
gave way beneath the great weight of
the ponderous machine and We're crushed
to splinters Two planks were broken and
gaps foot in width resulted.
Engine No s followed close behind No.
8. The driver saw the danger of crossing
in the same path and pulled his horses
over to the north side of the bridge.
From appearances the bridge needs re-
pairing badly. All the planks are worn
through, scarcely an eighth of an inch
of the original inch planks remain. A
number of the planks are loose and
wabble when wagons pass over them.
The condition Of the bridge was re-
ported to Fire Headquarters this morn
ing.
About a year ago the same engines
narrowly escaped plunging through the
bridge into the canal Workmen were
repairing the wagonway and had ripped
up every plank, leaving nothing but the
iron girders. These girders are about a
foot and half apart. The workmen
had failed to shut off the approaches to
the bridge. The engines in going to q
fire in Lafayette came down the hill at
top speed. Not until it was too late did
the driver receive warning of the danger
ahead Over the bridge went the big
machines, the drivers pulling the horses
over to the trolley tracks so that only
the right wheels went humping over the
girders. Fortunately the iron supports
stood the strain
The fire this morning resulted from the
explosion of an oil stove in the apart
ments of Thomas Foley The prompt
arrival of the engines saved the three
story frame house from destruction.
