PIERPONT'S NEPHEW
HAS JAP BRIDE

One of the unusual incidents Of the
voyage of the steamship China was
the presence on board of George D.
Morgan and bride. Morgan is an
American, and said to be nephew of
Pierpont Morgan, and his bride is a
Japanese lady whom he married re-
Gently in Japan.
The oddly-mated couple were objects
of considerable interest to the passen-
gers. Morgan is well built, middle
aged man, and his bride is a diminu-
tive type of her race. The couple are
en- route to- New York where the groom
expects to present his wife to his
uncle.
Morgan is said to have been sent to
Japan on trial, with about $4,000 a
year, just to keep him away from New
York. His relatives, however, little
thought that he would marry subject
of the Mikado, and there is likely to
be some pilikia on his arrival home.
Fellow passengers say that Morgan's
SO. 600 per annum is in Jeopardy as a
result of his marriage.

DOUBT ABOUT

South AmbOy COunCllmen Have
Something to Say on
the Matter.

The regular meeting of the Borough
Council was held at Borough Hall last
night. Present, Mayor Muirhead,
Councllmen Hillman, Haincs, Gallig-
her, Gordon and Kerr, Clerk Birn.-
insham and Consellor Pearsc. Appli-

A vote of thanks was then given the
firemen and ordered published. 4
The Mayor stated that there was
some doubt in the mind of one of the
councilmen regarding the financial

The Mayor said unless the gentle

"YOU ALL" AND GIVE ALL"
That Are Not Confined
t. the People of the South
crn States.

For some time there has been running
in a New York paper. ar amusing discus
sion of the expressions you all" and
1--WE all" and in not a few instances eff
forts have been made to shoulder these
oddities off on the south, says the New
Orleans Ti&les-Demoerat. The express
sions ere frequently used in the south,
and often by persons OF high culture.
1t is not at all uncommon to hear an edu-
Gated men say: "How are you all?" by
which ne means to inquire about all the
members of a particular family. So
educated men and frequently
say: "We all get aloI.g nicely here" by
which they mean thai "all members of
the family and SO on. 1t is a more di-
rect ~ays of saying The thing. 1t con-
veys the idea clearly enough, and is not
open to any objection or the ground of
"vagueness and uncertainty"
"Of course, these expressions are used
only'in talking. Persons who constant
ly say you all" and I'VE all" would
never think of writing 1t in this way.
you all' and eve air are spoken and
not written, just as a great many per-
sons who are capable of writing, and do
write, the most exquisite English
butcher all the rules of grammar and
euphoEy in conversation.
But it is doubtful if 1--WE ALL and you
all" can be charged up to the south ex-
clusively. They are rather American
provincialisms, and are to be classed
with certain departures of speech noted
by the late Herbert Spencer-departures
lookedupon as sEockingand barbarousby
the Englishman. But why should breath
and time be wasted in saying things in
a roundabout fashion? Why ask:
"How are the members of your family ?"
when How are you all?" will answer
the same purpose? Suppose n is asked
his present place of residence, shall he
wade through the painful detail OF the
law and reply that he lives on a certain
lot Situate, lying and being" in a GER
tain county, and certain state, and in
the United States Of America, and give
the metes and bounds, and the meander-
ings of lines, and certain blazed black
jacks which have marked its proper
boundaries from the time of the first in
habitant? Not much. Time is too pre-
clous. The quick answer, no less than
the quick action, is n of the impress
sive idiosyncrasies of the age. I'VE all'
and you all'' may net conform to the
rules of grammar, bat it gays what it
means" and means what it says"
Still, it is not peculiar to the south to
say that all the people use the express
sions I'VE uns" and you uns," express
sions peculiar to Arkansas, or certain
parts of the state, but by no means gen
eral.

THE MAN WHO WAS NOT.
strnnse story Concerning n POwde,
Magazine Explosion at
WoOlWich.

Cope Whitehouso, the authority on
Egyptology and other branches OF
science, discussing the recent explosion
at Woolwich in the Newport Herald,
relates the following story, which, he
says, was told by Sir Benjamin Baker,
at a dinner of the Smeatonian club,
Tan association of British civil engi-
naers) which was attended by Mr..
W%hitehouse:
There were two mixing houses at
Waltham Abbey, separated by a cons;d-
cradle space and fully protected by
banks of earth. Two men were passing
between these houses when both eX-
ploded. They said that the one On the
right went off first, but it was supposed
that this was an inference affecting the
memory. They could not understand
the simultaneous explosions and there
fore supposed that n must have pre-
coded the other by q sensible period of
time. But the scientific advisers of the
government were of the opinion that
the stability of the compound, was dis
turhed through some sympathetic ac-
ton.
"Thcse men also said that they
threw themselves on the ground to
avoid the falling Fragments as a
promo position was the Worst possible,
their nerves were evidently shaken.
They had observed, before the explo-
sion, q workman approaching the door
Of one of these houses. When they
rose to their feet their first thought
was for him, and they looked around
to see where he was. But although
they looked and looked, they found no
body or part of it. He was not. For
the air took him. According to the
scientific explanation, his atoms had
received a jar which had shaken them
to pieces of about the billionth of an
inch in diameter or less.
"As would be said now, he became
"a collection of antagonistic electrons.
They found part of al empty stocking
and the heel Of a boot. That was all.
1t must be remembered that there
would have been no inorganic matter
about him, no metal or hard substance.
Therefore as the mysterious processes
of life had built him up, so they also
had built the material of his clothes.
The fragments which escaped annihi-
lation were apparently due to ono OF
those electrical freaks common in
thunderstorms,"

BROADWAY IN BAD

Filling in was Done with Frozen
Dirt and Thaw has Caused
Settling

Every resident of Broadway, be-
tween Main and Bentley streets has a
complaint to register against the De-
partment of Public Works for the con
dition of Broadway. When the sewer
was put through Broadway several
weeks ago, when the trench was filled
in, the ground was frozen and now
when the heavy storms of the last
week came the dirt sank several feet
below the level of the curbing and
made it dangerous for everyone. Yes
terday a gang of Italian laborers were
sent from st. George to repair the
street. 1t will tako some time before
