discovered by Mr.. Montague, proprietor
of the Mansion House. when he burst,

about 50 years ago. He Game to this
city with his. two brothers, Louis and
Toussaint.' about sixty years ago, and
began the wholesale liquor business o n
Fair, now. Lafayette street, the build
ing being situated Hearnthe present site
Of the Central Railroad sheds ..
This. business was prosperous from
the start, and Mr.. Beland amassed
the nucleus of his fortune with the
profits of this business. Early in life
Mr.. Beland purchased some coal prop
erty in Pennsylvania which proved a
exceedingly fortunate venture. Later
he became a stockholder in several
fire insurance companies.
Soon after he come here Mr.. Beland
%renounced allegiance to the. sovereign
of England. From this time until his
death he was a Democrat and an adj
mirer OF former President Cleveland.

any attractions for him.. although he

ty and invariably followed.
Leader in Essex Club.

seemed to brood over her death very
much.

Mr.. Beland had many relatives in this
city and vicinity. The family of Jeres

him, while the Misses Vera and Adele

BOWWOWS
THAT CAN'T BARK
ANSWER COUNCIL
In Other Words an Urgent Re-
quest to Humane Society
for More Dead Dogs.

Unless the Humane Society supplies
the city with more dead dogs theren
be trouble. The city wants all the
dogs it can get, apparently, of any
breed or deacription-but dead logs.
The subject Of the slump in the dead
dog market was thoroughly threshed
out in Common Council last night. n
the aldermen concluded that unless
there was a distinct increase in the
supply of defunct canine they would
have to do something.
There seemed to be nc thought that
there were fewer dogs than usual this
season. The city was not getting its
share, that was all, at least not $4,OOO
worth from the Humane Society. Ihe
parties who are mulcting Newark out
of it's just quota of dogs we've not
named.
Alderman John +. Sinnott said 1t was
a shame, anyway In former years
he declared. Common Council appro-
priated $500 a year and got just as
much for its money, but of recent years
the cost had increased by leaps ana
bounds, until now. when $4,000 a year
was being. paid, and still the dead dog
| supply is shy. The alderman q~uallned
his statement by saying that nc did
not wish to criticise the Humane So
ciety unduly. as there were many very
fine people connected with it whom he
would never accuse of holding out so
much as one dog on the Common Coun-
ell,
Alderman Bray was less lenient, de-
claring that moro dogs should be killed
and killed at once. or there would be
trouble.
