The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1905-08-12

There are several men in Jersey City
who would seldom be heard of were it
not that they are fortunate in having
press agents who never lose an opportu.
nifty of getting their naInes into print.
Frederick Burgasch, clerk in the City
Hall is one Of this class. Mr.. Bur-
gasch is prominent in Republican poll
tics in the Twelfth Ward. Some of his
friends call him Mayor and Mr.. Bur-
gasch feels fattered. Whenever the cit
izens of the Hudson City section engage
in popular movement, Mr.. Burgasch
through his press agents is paraded be-
fore the public as the whole shooting
match. Others do the work and Mr..
Burgasch gets the credit.

President Heintze, of the Board Of
Street and Water Commissioners, is in
favor of Jersey City getting possession
of the new water plant as soon as pos
sible. Supervising Engineer Ferris de-
clares that the plant is completed, and as
soon as he makes his report Mr..
Heintze will urge the Board Of Street
and Water Commissioners to vote in
favor of the acceptance at once. Mr..
Heintze claims the city will be able to
dispose of the bonds for the purchase Of
the works without any great difficulty.

new organization, to be known as the
Hudson City Club, hasl been formed.
Among the members are some of the
most influential Democrats of the ward,
and its purpose is to promote the sue

Man Who lnsulted Vermont Smeoths
Thinus Over.

Euclid N. Cobb, whose recent me-
teoric career as a farmers institute
lecturer in New England Is well
known to our readers, is endeavoring
to make full reparation for his ILL
advised attempt to be funny at Ver-
mont's expense, by saying some real
nice and pleasing things about New
England agriculture in the Western
farm papers. Among other things, he
says:
Speaking from the standpoint of
farmer and dairyman l find that there
is a field in the New England states
from which the farmer or dairyman
of the middle states could learn many
things that would be of material ben
eft. He would learn that the saving
of all the crops grown was not be-
meath the farmers of that section as
is the case in Illinois, Iowa and sec
lions of Missouri.

and she was receiving the treatment

So much discussion has been made
about the relative merits of this team
and the Independents that the result
will be watched with no little inter-

state championship series it is said
that Bellows Falls intends to put
Brattleboro out of the running and
has secured several fast players to
help do the trick. There will be a
concert before the game by the First
Regiment band of 20 pieces which
will furnish music for the dance
which is to follow. The proceeds of
uniforms for the band, and the first
row of seats in the balcony viii be
reserved. The admission to the game
is the same as usual.

decorated in white and gold, is indeed
a handsome one. The crucifix group,
Christ on the cross, the Virgin Mary
weeping at his feet and the other Mary

The altar furnishings are all hand

0REYER IS OUT.
Chicago Banker and Politician Re
leased on Parole.

Chicago, Dec. 16.-AfteP serving nearly
seven years Imprisonment in the Cook
county Jail and the Joliet prison for mis-
appropriation Of $4,000 of the West
formerly a prominent private banker and
well known politician, has been released
on parole and will return to Chicago in
time to spend the holiday season with his
family.
The granting of the parole marks the
end of a struggle for freedom on the part
of the ex-banker, his family and his
friends, that has lasted since 1898.
Mr. Dreyer was treasurer of the West
Park board and under its rules was re-

money from his private bank and depos-
tied with the National Bank of Him Ois

tuition allowed him the same rate of in
tereSt he was required to pay the board.
In 1896 came the unexpected failure of
the National Bank of Illinois, and Drey-
er's own institution was soon carried
down in the panic that followed He was
unable to make good the park funds,
and after two years of legal controversy
was locked up in the county JAIL where
he remained through the various legal
struggles conducted in this behalf until
against him, and he was transferred to
the penitentiary on an indeterminate
sentence Of from one to fourteen years
His release on parole has been granted
in view of the fact that the jail ana pen
itentiary terms combined to make up
almost what he would have served had
he gone to Joliet after the first convie-
ton
Dreyer's father-in-laz, the former pres
ident of the National Bank of Illinois,
died a short time ago in Colorado. He
never recovered from the mental shock
caused by his financial collapse.

this as he was CARRIED as an ordinary
prisoner and would have run the
chances Of being shot had he made his
break for liberty at night.
Miller says that never, since he has
been before the public. has he failed to
release himself from any handouts that
have been placed on him. On one oeea-
sion, however, it took him q minutes to
free his hands from pair Of them.
This happened in Philadelphia.
In addition to opening any and all
handouts that may be locked on his
wrists by any one in the audience at the
performance he gives Miller does a stunt
in what he calls his mysterious box. -
This is an ordinary wooden box In which
Miller stands upright. He permits his
head, arms, hands and feet to be fast
-eRed- to the back of the box by a COM
mittee from the audience. The front Of
the box IS then closed up and locked
with three padlocks and within half a
minute after the box is locked up AliliGf
has released himself from it.
The remarkable feature OF his freeing
himself from the handouts Is that he
does not slip them OF his hands. but ac-
tUally uRlocks them.
