POOR SERVICE.
fingered West HObokeniteS and They Take Away
 Railway Franchise

NewYorl1, Jan. .21.-Angered because of what they declare to be wretched service on the part of the trolley con- pany, the town council of West Hobo ken has passed an ordinance revoking the franchise granted to the North Hudson County Railway Company in 1895. The North Hudson is one of the subsidy company of the Public Ser vice corporation of New Jersey which controls hundreds of miles of line con- meeting the various cities and towns about Jersey City.
 The ordinance will not become oper- ative until it has been advertised in the official papers for five days. Then, it is declared, the public service cor poration will have no legal right to run a single car on any street in the town and the poles and wires will have to come down. The police will be order- cd to arrest all conductors and motor men who attempt to run the cars. The company may run horse cars under a franchise still effective.

TO CHECK
 DISEASE. Feather Busters Put Under Ban.
of New York Trying to Protect the Health of City-Advise That Sweeping be Done Evenings.

New York, Jan 21.-In order to check the increase i'll the number of deaths from pneumonia and other dis eases due to inclement weather, an ad- visory board of leading physicians ap- pointed by the health department has formulated rules for the guidance of the public.
 The advisory board recommends among other things, the discontinu- ance of using feather dusters by house wives. The physicians statement says:
 Exposure to cold. over-exertion, lack of physical vigor abuse of alco- hol, etc, predispose the individual to pneumonia. but are not it's direct cause The bacteria germs which are the immediate existants of pneumonia are usually conveyed in the dust or air. contaminated by sputum, nasal or other discharges, not always Of those who are i'll. which upon dry ing is widely disseminated.
 'It is furthermore most important that ill the cleaning of private houses and all public conveyances and places of assembly. the methods adopted should be such as will remove and not simply stir mp the dust, which, when contaminated, may incite ill suscepti- ble persons some form of acute pneu- monia, as well as tuberculosis and the more common colds and catarrhs.
 Feather dusters should be aban- doned and moist cloths used for dust ing. When practicable, sweeping should be done in the evening. so that floating dust may completely settle before it's removal by moist cloths in the morning. Moist mops should be passed over floors when these are un. carpeted, as part of the morning du. ties"

DURANT
 WAS INTERRUPTED.

Attorney Durant was indulging in a flight Of oratory in the city court this morning when he was rudely inter- rupted by the redoubtable John Syn mott of Hill street violently opening the door and having brush with Of ficer Phelan, who stood guard inside, Had it been anyone else but Synnott the incident would have passed with out comment, but when Synnott's face was seen looking ill surprise into the sturdy officers. everybody laughed and Attorney Durant came down to earth. The spell of the moment was broken and the enchantment of eio- quence was dispelled. Synnott was in the arms of the officer, who was trying to push into the corridor, but the Intruder would not budge nor would he explain the cause of his presence, undoubtedly because he could not, for he could have no busi- ness with the city court, unless per haps to pay tribute to the probation officer. It was all over in a minute, mot word was said by either the in; truder or the officer. but the expression on the face of the latter as he looked into the face of the former would have made sphinx laugh.

$2O,OOO SUIT.
Brooklyn Teachers Get Judgment for Payment
 of Back Salaries.

New York, Jan 21.-A deputy sheriff has taken possession of an eight-story granite building of the board of educa- ton at Park avenue and Fifty-ninth street, to satisfy judgments aggregat- ing about $2O,O00.
 Four Brooklyn school teachers brought, some time ago, suit for un- paid salaries for services before the consolidation of the boroughs forming Greater New York. They won their cases against the board of education last December and the board was or dered to pay. An appeal was taken, as the city should have been sued and ont the board of education. The new corporation counsel has decided, how ever, that the city would have to pay in the end and when the execution was made he advised the board to settle and so get rid of the4 deputy. This probably will be done.

PORTER AND
 DELCASSE.
Conference at the
 Foreign Office.
Russo-Japanese Crisis Was Thoroughly Canvassed- American Civil War and Its Cost Part of Discussion.

Paris, Jan 21.-Ambassador Porter called at the foreign office to-day and held conference of three quarters of an hour with Foreign Minister Del casse. There is reason to believe that the call had no special significance, but 1t afforded an opportunity to thor oughly go over the Russo -Ja panese crisis.
 Dr Motono, the Japanese minister, called shortly before General Porter and had a long talk with M. Delcasse The latter continues to exert his influ- ence for the maintenance of peace. His talk with Dr Motono brings out the impartial course France is pursu- ing. as the foreign minister is urging both sides to consider the horrors of war and to seek every means to avert an international tragedy. Among the points referred to during the talks was the American civil war, which at one period cost $4,OO0000 per day, involv- ing 100000 men and left countless widows and orphans. M. DelcaSse'S representations to Russia are consid- cred as having great weigh. besides strongly favorable to peace. it is un- derstood that his representations are somewhat specific as to the means of permitting an adjustment honorable to both sides
 Among the diplomats M. Delcasse is referred to as being the most sagacious foreign minister in Europe. There fore his counsels to Russia are consid- cred likely to exercise strong and perhaps decisive effect. These repre- sentations have been in progress for the last five days, and as NJ. Delcasse continues strongly hopeful, it is the general conclusion that his hopeful ness has the solid basis of informa- ton from the highest Russian sources. However, there is no specific informa- tion beyond the minister's steady in- sistence for peace and his staunch be- lief that the negotiations will have a pacific continuation.

MISSING DOCTOR.
Gone a Week-Dr. Hinck- ley's Family Knows Not
 His Whereabouts.

So far nothing has been learned re- garding the whereabouts of Mrs John Deintz of North Main street, who has been missing since Monday night, nor have any tidings come from Dr Walter F. Hinckley, who left town the same evening. Mrs Deintz did office work for the doctor and the fact that both disappeared the same evening has set people to talking and many are curious to know if the physician and Mrs Deintz took the same train out of town. The doctors wife and family place no faith in these rumors, but Deintz does ont know what to say about it. Mrs Deintz left note stat ing that She was going to drown her self, but neglected to state where her body would be found, and as a result nobody knows which way to turn. The doctor did better than this. He told his family that he was going to make q business call upon Dr NMowery and Dr Parcunagain of Morristown, N. j.. When the ugly rumors reached the ears of his family they communicated with the parties whom they understood he had called upon. Both replied stating that they had not seen him.
 Dr Hinckley is described as follows: Fifty-six years old. about six feet tall, weighing over 200 pounds. Wore a gray Van Dyke beard, had iron cray hair and deep-set steel blue eyes. He wore black suit, with Prince Albert coat, black overcoat, high silk hat, brown kid gloves and patent leather, buttoned shoes.
 The doctor came here from Nauga- tuck some years ago and for time was quite active in politics and society affairs. Lately he took up the mining stock business and it was supposed that it was in connection with this work that he made the trip to New Jersey.
 Wbile many are ready to put the worst possible construction upon the case, others take the ground that 1t is too soon to pass sentence. The doc. tor may return in day or two and explain his absence. and for all one can tell Mrs Deintz jotted off that note and then dropped out of sight for a season just to see how badly her hus- band would feel over the separation.
