The Board of Health held short session in the office of H. R. Willis, last evening, The members present were H. B. Willis, Doctors H.

R. and A. V. N. Baldwin, Voorhees.

Following the reading end adoption of the minutes was the request for committee reports, a request which disclosed the fact that none had matured since last meeting, and made the call for new bus. iness in order. Under this head the appointment of Edward Tindell by Common Council as a member of the Board of Health was considered with the responsive resolution that Mr. Tindell regularly qualify at the next meeting. By request the President appointed a committee to inspect the nuisance at the intersection of Handy street and Railroad avenue.

The Inspector reported three cases of measles and one case of typhoid fever Palso that the athletic ground nuisance was in process of abatement; that several notiees for the abatement of the nuisance 308 Suydam street had been served; that a nuisance existed on Easton avenue and 96 French street that a stagnant pond on Handy street was dangerous to health; that the cellar at 94 Throop avenue contained a stagnant pool; that no examination been made of the nuisance at 141 Remsen avenue.

The question as to whether the Board of Health had a right to make complaint against persons sustaining a nuisance was answered by Dr. H. R. Baldwin in the "I shall complain of any nuisance that threatens the public health," said the doctor. That settled the question and the Board adjourned.

A JUNE LOVE EPISODE; OR, A FATAL DISAPPOINTMENT. It was night in Highland Park. All was still and silent as a church fair, save the gentle warble of a lone and over-worked tramp, whose footsteps grated on the ear like a baccarat scandal. Nearer and nearer came the Summer idler, whistling in a sad and ne'er forgotten tone, the sweet, dulcet strains of Annie Rooney," causing them to float down the silvery waters of the Raritan like an empty lobster can in Cheesequake Creek. On the other gide of the bridge, erect, like 8 cigar sign, stands a maiden.

Her eyes filled with the light of love, her expectant lips puckered like a balsam pear, her arms ready to grasp her beloved like a base ball bat, and draw him to her bosom like a Peek Snyder chest protector. She listeus. She strikes an attitude. Her smile well nigh cracks her face. Hark! She hears his song of love.

He warbles, "Soon we'll marry," and 1 then she heaves a sweet sigh, that makes the draw open-" Alphonso, I knew you would come Whatcher madder wid yer? Yer drunk; me name ain't Alphonser." But all she said WAS Oh and then the bloode froze in her veins, drops of perspiration, as large a as a -street hen's egg, stood on her fore. head, her eyes close, she reels, she, totters, and then like 8 ton of nut coal, she falls on the bridge- while the lone foot pad, goes up the river road with a sad, far-away look in his eyes, his lips grinding out The Girl I Left Behind Me."

THE NUCLEUS BONE, AROUND WHICH SOME THINK THE RESURRECTED BODY WILL BE BUILT, It is said in the brief details of Emmet Abbott's creamation rites that the sweet singer was reduced to two or three pounds of ashes, which were preserved in 8 silver vase, writes a Detroit Free Press correspondent. Now, it is well known that a two or even four hours' incineration does not totally consume the bones, and there is always a mass of these left, which are thrown away as refuse, Among these buman bones is oue which is believed to be impervious to death or decay, It is a small bone, part of the spinal column, and is called Luz." It is said that learned rabbi demonstrated to the Emperor Adrain that water would not steep it, fire would not burn it, a mill could not grind it, nor could any hammer break it. This bone is supposed by many to be the nucleus of the immortal body. Hudibras wrote: All th' other members shall, they say, Spring out this as from a seed.

This question arises. Would not it be more in keeping with the importance of mortuary rites to have the bones buried in the' cemetery lot, while the ashes find their repose in the silver urn, and may be retained in the househeld Even a superstition has weight in favor of an idea. The Remains to be Cremated, The Sophomore Class is practicing nightly for the cremation services, which will be held over the departed Analyticus.

CAMP AT SEA GIRT. IT WILL OPEN ON JULY THIRTEENTH. At last the date for holding the encampment of the first brigade, National Guard New Jersey, has been decided upon. The brigade will go into camp on Monday, July 13, and return on the following Monday. Ninety-five per cent.

Auctioneer Housell is to knock down to the highest bidder, on the evening of Saturday, the 13th, sixteen of the choicest buildlug-lots in the ta MUSTLEAVESANDYHOOK HOOK A Delicate Problem for the New Jersey Central Railroad to Solve. The time table of the Long Branch Bost service announces the termination of the season to be Oct. 1.

There is good reason for this, since the United States Government has ordered the Central Railroad of Now Jersey to vacate Sandy Hook on or before that date. On that date, most fashionable and the wealthiest boat travel on the continent will come to an end, su far as Sandy Hook is concerned, after an exist-. ence and continual growth of nearly twentynine years. The Government wants no more trespassing on its military practice ground. The whole end of the sandy peninsula, which it owns, is needed for gun, torpedo, shell and other practice.

For some time the practice and experiments have been carried on with exasperating interruptions, occasioned by the Long Branch trains, and on two or three occasions projectiles fired from guns undergoing trial have fallen or flown very near to crowded passenger trains. On this account the Government's permission to the reilrogd to do business on the Hook is about to be withdrawn, and the hopelessness of an appeal for an extension of the favor is so apparent to the railroad company that the officials are now studying the problem of reaching the lower bey by a new route. The directors of the Central Railroad off New Jersey, which leases the New Jersey Southern, have had two plans submitted to them for reaching a wharf on the bay shore and connecting with the boats from New York next year and thereafter. They will meet to decide in favor of one plan or the other before the end of this month. The problem is serious one for them to decide, and its decision is of great importance to the watering places and to the of the proposed routes.

In order that the public may understand the situation it should be remembered that the Highlands of Navesink is a bald hill on a corner formed by the bay shore and the Shrewsbury River. Deep Tater is obtainable on the shore north of the Highlands anywhere, or either side of the Atlantic Highlands, and in that neighborhood the boats must lend after this season. One route from the new landing is behind the Highland Hill by way of a natural level called Clay Pit Creek. This is practicable, but it entails a bridge over the South Shrewsbury and another over the Shrewsbury itself. Both must be drawbridges, for steamers run on both rivers.

The road beyond these bridges would connect with the Sandy Hook: line above the Highlands toward Seabright, say at Normandie-by-the-Sea. This would leave out two and perbaps three resorts north of the junction, or between it and the Government reservation. These places are Highland Beach, Navesink Beach and perheps Normandie. They would be side-tracked and would have to put up. with 3 left-handed service.

On the other hand, If the railroad leaves Its route at the edge of the Government reservation and jumps across the Shrewsbury at it mouth, there would be only one bridge tos build, but it would be a very long one, with a very busy and bothersome draw. When the new road struck the mainland it would have to follow the beach at the foot of Mount Mitchell, and the damage it would do to that very valuable water! front would be almost fatal to the plans of the men who own property there. This is so well understood that both plans place the new wharf a mile east of Atlantic Highlsnds. It is understood that the road would ruin that resort if its rails were laid on the bench. This latter proposition includes direct service to the little places that the other plan leaves in the cold.

Thousands of persons await the decision of the rallroad, and fortunes hang in the balance. The excitement among the rich men who own the bay shore and who are nearly all New Yorkers may be imagined. IMPROVEMENTS AT OCEAN GROVE, PREPARING FOR THE COMING SEASON AT THE SEASHORE. There are many improvements in progress at. the Grove and the cottages and hotels are being enlarged and made bright with paint and paper, and.

refurnished in the finest style of decorative art. The Camp Meeting Association has Isid thousands of feet of concrete walks. New gates have been put up at the Main street entrance. These are painted green, with golden tips. On each side new concrete walks improve the entrance, while electric lights seem to say 4 This is the way to rest and peace, walk ye in." An iron pier, 500 feet long, 16.

feet wide at the south end, end widening out in the ocean to 82 feet, has been built by the Rickmond Brothers, of Dupont, N. and is pronounced by experts to be constructed in the best possible manner. The electric light plant has been increased and has been put in the beat condition. The fishing pier will be well lighted, The plenk-walk from Ross's Pavilion to Ocean Pathway has been widened to 32 feet, and built on pew piling, placed 00 close together that an underview makes one think of the multitudinous tree trunks of a dense forest. With the walk ground has been Alled in, graded and sloped landward, and is covered with a thrifty sodding of grass.

It is hoped that this will prevent the washouts and gullies, which used to occur in that vicinity. Carleton Greeted by a Small Audience. A very small audience greeted the popular lecturer, Will Carleton, on his appearance at Y. M. C.

A. Hall lest evening. This ought not to have been, as the officers of the Y. M. C.

A. have for some time endeavored to bring to our city the very best talent that can be procured. This is not done so much for a pecuniary reason, but that at a reasonable cost our citizens may have the privilege of hearing fine epeakers and lectures and be benefited sod entertained by the same. It is hoped that in the future our citizens will appreciate these endeavors by patronizing these lectures, st. least in sufficient numbers to meet all expenses.
