Regular Monthly Meeting Held Last Evening. for a Pest House will be Acted on Later.

At last the Hamilton street drain has been wiped out, and the Board of Health will worry over Jt no more. It was buried practically, some time ago, and last night the board dropped a few tears upon its grave a banished it to that dim past where the ghost of the Oliver street pump may be tuppostd to prowl. Other matters of importance came up, among them plans for a pest house. These Will be acted on later. The last bill of the cholera scare was paid, aud so another troublous epoch iu local history passed.

On the whole the meeting was a very important one, if only for the old wounds that were reported as healed. The members present were Drs. H. and A. V.

N. Baldwin, Messrs. Ed ward Tindell and H. B. Willis.

The minutes of the last meeting were read and accepted. The disinfecting committee reported progress. Mr. Tindell, representing the committee of the whole, reported that the budget of the board, $1500, had been presented to the finance committee of the Board ol Aldermen. The report was accepted.

The health inspector reported 1 case of diphtheria, 2 cases of scarlet fever, 1 case of measles and 1 case of smallpox during- the month of April. He also reported that the case of smallpox reported at the last meeting had terminated fatally, that the corpse had been wrapped in an antiseptic blanket supplied by the board, the burial most carefully conducted, and that the premises, which are now vacant, had been twice thoroughly fumigated, the outhouses, yard and main structure disinfected, and the whole property put in excellent sanitary condition. A request had been made to the Board to have the vault cleaned. Nuisances were reported as existing on Throop avenue and Suydam street, and at 121 French street. It was reported that the drain at Hamilton street aud Eastou avenue had been removed aud connections made with the sewer.

A nuisance reported at Brown street was caused by a defective vault, and would doubtless be remedied at once. The com plaint of a drain at 171 Hamilton slreet was dismissed, as no nuisance is apparent aud the complaint is evidently inspired by malice. The report of the health inspector was received. Counsel reported that a second notice had been served on Mrs. Mary Hefferman, of Lee avenue, aud that the nuisance had at once been abated.

A communication was received from Dairy Commissioner J. W. McGuire, inclosing a copy of the law passed by the late legislature in reference to registering of milch cows, and quarantining of cattle suffering from infectious diseases, and asking the cooperation of the local health board, was received, and alter some discussion referred to counsel. Under the head of new business Dr. II.

R. Baldwin reported that the finance committee of the Board of Aldermen had left the matter of a pest house entirely iu the hauds of the Board of Health. It had been suggested that a good location would be on the poor farm, some two miles outside the city. At the request of Dr. Baldwin, Dr.

Voorhees had drawn up plans for a removable pavilion hospital, to cost from $700 to $1,200. These plans were submitted, but were laid over until a special meeting, to be called by the chair, at which the matter will be thoroughly dlscused. The following bills were read and ordered paid Johnson Johnson, George Whitlock, $2 Conrad Roesuer, J. L. Rogers Son, $5.

On motion the inspector was empowered to have the vault ot No. 18 Neilson street, the premises where the smallpox case existed, cleaned out at the expense of the Board. The Board thtn adjourned subject to the call of the chair. OUR BULLETINS. Tiio KuU'rprlslug Met AVlth Complete SllCCe88.

The enterprise of the TIMES was clearly s'jown, not only last evening in its complete reports of the election returns in this city, and the exclusive account of the election In Perth Amboy, a matter of greatest moment to the county, but also in the prompt and efficient way in which the returns were secured on Tuesday night) and displayed to the public on huge bulletins in front of the office. Our citizens fully realize the convenience and value of bulletin reports, and long before any returns could be expected a crowd commenced to gather around the TIMES of- tlce. The first bulletin was pos.ted just one minute after the count in the Third ward was completed. As the subsequent returns were secured from each poll they were telephoned down to the office and bulletined within two minutes after the count was completed. When the Fourth ward returns were an- uouuced, giving the victory to Becker, the enthusiasm, of the crowd broke loose.

A brass band was secured from somewhere, and an impromptu parade gotten up. As each Democratic gain was recorded a fine display of fireworks and red fire was The county and State bulletins posted yesterday attracted the attention of every passer by, and TIMES enterprise was praised second only to Democratic principles. The TIMES last evening contained an exclusive account of the election in Perth Amboy. The redlstrlctlon of the wards made the result iu this place very doubtful, aud the Importance of this Item of news was fully realized by the readers of the only paper In town with energy or ability to secure it. PLEASURABLE AFFAIR.

STET'S ANNIVERSARY Twenty-Sixth Birthday Celebrated Last Erening.

AcJ.lreuse by Fretidlutf Officer of the Order In North America. The anniversary of Stet Division, Sons of Temperance, was celebrated with appropriate services iu the First Methodist church last evening. The services were attended by the members of Stet and Welcome Divisions, anS by a fair-sized audience composed of known people prominent in temperance work in this city and county. A delegation was present from a Metuchen division, and several of the Slate officers were in atlend- and took part In.the affair. Grand Worthy Patriarch Frederick Poole, of Newark, presided over the meeting, which was opened with prayer by Rev.

Dr. John Woodbridgt. Mr. Poole made a short address, reviewing the work of the order in the various large cities of the State, and enlarging upon the good that may be done by co- tpe.iatlon and hard individual work. After the address by Mr.

Poole, Adam I. Leiihart was introduced and spoke a few-appropriate words. Mr. Lenuart is oae of the few surviving charter members of the division. He was a member at its very organization and his interest In the work has never flagged, but for more than a quarter of a century he has been prominently identified with every movement tending to advance the cause of temperance in New Brunswick.

Grand Scribe Van Aken, alsd of New Brunswick, was the next speaker. Mr. Van Aken is an orator of no little ability and he fully sustained his reputation last evening in an earnest, thoughtful and eloquent plea to his hearers to more fully realize the importance of the great work that has been undertaken by the Sons of Temperance, and the weighty responsibilities that rest upon them. The speaker of the evening, Rev. Charles A.

Everett, grand worthy patriarch of the order in North America, was then introduced by Mr. Poole. Mr. Everett is a unique figure in Sons Temperance work. He is famous as the pioneer of the organization in Canada forty- six years ago.

He became imbued with enthusiasm while on a visit to New York cjty, aud on his return instituted a division of the order, which has since spread from ocean to ocean. He is well along in years, but is full of fire and vigor. His address was a sketch of the progress the Sons of' Temperance has made, and the grand work that still lies fore it. After Mr. Everett's addrsss the guests of the division adjourned to the meeting room, on Peace street, where an elegant collation was served by the ladies of the division.

THE JOHN BULL. Conductor Thomas Gallagher to Kan tlie Train. Today railroad people hereabouts are full of the apparently well authenticated rumcr that Conductor Thomas Gallagher, of this city, the oldest conductor on the Pennsylvania Railroad, is to run the John Bull train onsisting of the engine and two cars of the old style, from Jersey City to Chicago, to the. World's Fair, starting on Monday next. Everybody knows, or ought to know, by this time that the Stepbenson locomotive John Bull brought from England in 1831 aud run on the old Camdeu and Araboy railroad, was the first locomotive used iu America.

To give Conductor Gallagher charge of this train would not only be a compliment to an old, faithful, efficient and popular employee of the road, but it would be a high compliment to the State of New Jersey with which the old engine is entirely ideutified, to have it sent to the fair in charge of a citizen of New Jersey, and if possible with a whole train crew of Jersey-men. When Judge O'Gormau heard the rumor this morning he pricked up his ears like the fine old war horse he is aud remarked Well, I am glad of it. It's an honor that Tom deserves, for he's a decent boy but I can never let him go all that way from home, and away out there among them windy western helgamites, without me along to take care of him. I must go up to his house as soon as he comes home this evening aud see if he has got the money to pay my expenses." Then the Judge breathed a sigh of intense gratification he sang softly aud soul fully Tommy ie my dar IUR, My jjy auJ my pride; And on unto Chicago On the Johuuy Bull rid; 1'REACHEKS IN COUNCIL.

A number of cltltena complain bitterly -of the disturbance created hy three or lour colored boys or youug en who, having got hold of a bass drum and two or three snare drums, make hideous under evident impression that they are making music. They do not appear to huve any connection with any drnru corps or other organization, hut cany on their pernicious activity entirely upou their own responsibility and keep it up until such unseemly hours that the police should certainly take tnem in and make them account for themselves.

There is considerable interest manifested over the South River post office. It is not any of our merchants want the posi- uion as postmaster, because they are too busy waiting on customers to be bothered with the duties.

At present the location is good and the postr office is well attended to jy a postmaster who gives satisfaction, aud some of the citizens would like to seethe present incumbent and location retained at east until the present postmaster's terra expires. There are many others who would ike to see Miss Ella Peterson appointed, as she conducted the office in a very satisfactory manner "under President Cleveland's "ormer administration.

STATE ITEMS. on no- Por.vr PLEASANT, April shooting Dr. Frank Whfttaker in thia place Monday night is attracting considerable torlety, and the doctor, while not seriously wounded, is suffering from the shock.

The shooting was done by John Halleck, a rail road brakeman, who mistook Dr. Whlttaker for his wife's lover. Hallcck has not been living with his wife for some time, and when he called on her, she showed him several auonymous letters received from men asking if they could call on her. These letters made Hal leek Insane with jealousy, and when she gave him another letter, in which the writer asked her to meet him and put a lighted lamp In the window as a signal, the enraged husband secured a revolver and a flask of whiskey, and said he would lie iu wait for the would- be destroyer of his home The letter gave 9 o'clock as the hour for the meeting, and at that hour Dr. Whitt.a^ ker, who was conveying a message to Mrs.

Halleck from her mother, stepped oa the porch, and was immediately fired on by the jealous husband, who fired three shots at him, only one of which took effect, that shot hitting him in the arm. The doctor escaped further injury and Halleck was placed in prison. Mrs. Halleck's lover evidently was has will frightened by the shooting and did not turu up. The Church Against Pools.

How Society, will Clothe Itself this Spring and Summer. Woman band on A strange story of a rather Enoch Arden character came to light on Wednesday at Elizabeth by the arrival of John Becker, a western man. Several years ago he married, in Brooklyn, a young Norwegian widow, who had a child by her former husband. After the couple lived together a few years Becker left his wife aud stepdaughter and went west in quest of employment. He was about six years there aud never saw or heard from his wife.

He found her in Elizabeth yesterday married to another man. It appears that after going away Becker failed to correspond with tils wife, who after a few years thought htm dead aud assumed widow's weeds. Several mouths ago, with her child, now a girl of thirteen. Mrs. Becker removed to EJizabethport and started a boarding house.

Among her boarders was a good looking Norwegian carpenter named Eckerson. He formed an attachment for the comely widow und they were married. Mrs. Eckerson, as she became, gave up her boarding house aud, with her husband and child, went to live in a cosy house "uii Fourth street, near Franklin. When her second husband arrived in town Monday he secured employment in the shipyard of Moore Sons Company, and iu huut- iug up a boarding house accidentally stumbled across a man wife was well acquainted with liie former Mrs.

Becker. When he told the story o( his Western wan-it-rings he was astonished by his new acquaintance informing him that she was stopping iu Elizabeth and waa married again. Becker lost no time in going to the home. Mrs. Backer, or Eckersoo, was amazed when ulie confronted by him who she imagined was in the grave.

She had unwittingly been guilty of bigamy, and then followed a series of mutual recriinl- natious between husband and wife, while Eckerson stood by and seemed to keenly feel tie situation. He married for love, however, and did not feel disposed to yield his claims lo the other lellow. Mrs Eckerson accused her other husband of desertion, while ho retorted that she was now a bigamist. What the upshot of the affair will be can't be determined at present. If the marriage occurred In New York husband No.

NEW YORK, April ''S. past season's gay colors were ouly preliminary tbote of spring, and the abandon with which sup- extremes are combined In every department of fashion is rtally remarkable. Clan plaids, while not prominent, are usid for tailor made dresses, with jackets cut to show white chemisettes, and rich hned basket weave plaids are similarly era- ployed, and for trimmings as well flat bias bands, ruffles, sleeves or.b^lts, on plain materials calculated to bring oat their varied colorings. Cotton grenadines are delusive imitations of the silk fabric, and new batistes for street wear have blac 1 grounds with colored floral stripes varied by narrow, broken white stripes. The ribbon stripe shows notched edges, is effectively used in pale hued batistes for evening, in either harmony or contrast.

Among domestic cottons the Parkhill fabrics Toile du Nord," Scotch zephyrs," zephyr ginghams," and cotton crepons easily rank first, embodying all the most fashionable colors and combinations of stripes or plaids in several hundred varieties, from pin head checks to large, brilliant plaids, always with plain material to match. "Pinked yarn" i ffects are again stylish, and as these goods are all absolutely fast colors, they are very desirable for children's wear as well as that of misses or grown persons. SILKS In wide purple and green stripes are very striking, but the colors melt into each other so softly; the transition is not abrupt or glaring. Other colors, as tan and green, or blue and yellow, are combined in the same manner, while in opposition diagonal plaids" show squares tnade up of two or three narrow, pale-hued stripes, woven di- agoually on a plain suri'nce. Colorel India silks are more stylish than those with black grounds, and changeable silks are still very popular as entire costumes, independent waists, or trimmings.

Striped or dotted silks in all fashionable shades are well adapted for evening or for trimming plain wools. THE DEMAND FOK BLACK HOSIKRY remains steadfast, but the variety of shown to match the costumes is immense, the purple and green fal" being very prominent. Here, the two colors caunot be combined, but the "black boot" is used with both, or one color prevails throughout. Plated silk" stockings In all colors at 08 pair are very desirable, the Richlieu Mb adding materially to the general effect. 'Colored silk embroidery on black is always attractive, the bow knot pattern re.

appearing and rivaling self-colored work. The most important item, however, regarding hosiery, is a recent invention called the Magic Darning Machine brought out by the Music Darning Machine Company. 50 Worth street, an ioestiaiab saving of time and eyesight, costing only $1 and 12 cents Other materials besides hos'ery are ivpairc-d with oqunl faL'il ity, and the wonderful ulibility of this little nmchine Iras been so immediately recognized, that it is for sale in. almost every store In the city. ACCESSOJUES In the way of colored or black velvet 'Etou" jackets arc steadily increasing in favor, requiring but little material, and easily fitted, braided or embroidered by any one possessing ordinary taste.

They are very dressy, worn over plain wool costumes, plaided or changeable silk waists, for which the demand is greater than ever. Satin is much used for trimmiug, as bretelles, cape frills around che shoulders, sleeves, rows of ribbon on csipcs or skirts, and to a extent in millinery not, however, to the exclusion of vcl- vel, which retains all its former prestige. Lace is very fashionable, and where pronounced color contrasts exist in French dresses, white or black lace is always employed. Bead passementerie is another beautiful ornamentation, the range of color being endless, although just now green predominates. VEROXA CLAHKE.
