AS X807 WaM YA The VOL. A 6-NO. 26: PATERSON, N. MONDAY, JANUARY 31, 1887-EIGHT PAGES. SINGLE COPIES TWO CENTS SUNDAY CLOSING.

HOW THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK WAS OBSERVED. Many Saloon Keepers Still Adhere to Their First Resolve. Only Few Cases of Drunkenness Reported. 3 The meeting of the Liquor Dealers' Association in this city on Friday adjourned without making any provisions for the opening or closing of the saloonf on Sunday. Each and every member of that body showed a willingness to make sacrifices in order to worry and annoy the Law and Order Society, but they left the hall without arriving at, a conclusion as to the carrying of suits in which the members would be involved to the courts.

This is one of the rEASONS why 80 many of saloons in the city were closed yesterday. Those who sell do so at their own risk the Association will not hold itself responsible from cases that arise from the sale of intoxicating drinks on Sunday. A large number of the 88- loons, especially those in the business centre of the city remained closed the entire day, but those in the outer districts where the majority of the hard working people live were reported selling only to their own customers. At noon a group of young men assembled on the corner of Broadway and Main street and were loud in discussing the situation. One young man said that he would be willing to wager a two dollars that he could bring the whole crowd to a saloon on Ellison street where drinks could be had.

The wager was accepted by's a prin er who was willing to lose the money providing he could appease his thirst with a stimulating beverage. The crowd marched in a body to the saloon, but on arriving there discevered that everything and around the place had a stillness. The stakeholder then gave the printer the stakes, after which the crowd separated. The typo, however, must have found a back door open somewhere a8 he returned to the boarding house with his coat turned inside out. COURT HOUSE NOTES.

The thirty-ote cases before! the petit jary will consume more time than fifty cases should. Sam Smith, is the most prominent attache of the Oounty Olerk's office. Justice James Dimond was placed in the nominal oustody of the Sheriff Friday, after sentence, and gave his note a8 temporary security for the payment of fine and costs, amounting together to which the Justice paid on Juryman Jaok Ourtis has instilled life into the whole panel, but it is reported that it takes three constables to keep him down to business. The following cases are subject to call to-day: Gaetano Di Miguelo, assault with a pistol, with intent to kill Pietro Falerni. George and John Rolleston, assault and battery on Robert Tasch.

Oharles Norris, embezzlement from E. B. Haines. James George, atrocious assault and battery on his father. Joseph Lehman, four indictments for forgery.

Sam G. King, assault and battery, two old indiotments. Tax-Commissioner Arthur Fitzgerald is the humorist of the present jury, but the boys had the laugh on him last Friday, when an Italian, who appeared at the door, was readily admitted by the constable on the supposition that it was Juryman Fitzgerald. The resemblance was so great that he was three times aocosted by the familiar title "Arty." Coroner John F. Smith called at the County Clerk's office on Saturday, and immediately there forthwith emerged Ave young men, who went out for a walk around the block.

This is a daily occurremoe, the exercise having been presbribed by the coroner. John D. Goodridge, who has long been connected with the clerk's office and who is a prominent member of the Phelps Guards and a life-long Republican, will be a candidate for the office of coroner next fall. John would make a good one. The Dawson case is not likely to come pp again this term.

Nothing has yet been heard from the indictment against ex Brampall, and it does not seem likely that it will be reached until next term. In summing up the Stur-Dittman case, Dounsellor Ward called Prosecutor Gourley a baby in years and experience, and he Prosecutor termed the opposing connel Herculean in form but a veritable baby "in the law. Mr. Ward also had fit with the Court in the same case. Dr.

Newton' Salary. The Trenton correspondent of the Newark Press, commenting upon the State Treasurer's report, BAys: "There a something peculiar about the way ome of these State Boards seem to cenre in ene man. For instance, William Newton, as Dairy Protector, foots up 3,450,98, and as Milk Inspector, Add to this the Doctor's official Health Inspector of the city of Pateren and we find that sanitary science is mite profitable. Several new members were admitted the last meeting of the Carpenters' Inion, which was held in the Van Saun wilding. Speakers, who were expected.

The union is reported to le in a very prosperous condition. SERIOUS RUNAWAY. A Milkman's Team Dashes 'Dowa Totowa Hill. They Collide on Hamburgh Avenue' and 15 Quarts of Milk Spilled in the Gutters -Much Damage Done. and Hamburgh avenues were the of wild excitement again on Saturday evening, About 5 o'clock a team belonging to Mr.

Henry Wilson of Upper Totowa, Wayne township, ran away, taking along with them 8 milk wagon containing nine cans of milk. The team started in front of Mr. George Slingland's residence on Totowa avenue, near Lincoln In bridge on Saturday evening while on the way to deliver milk one of the reins broke and the spirited horses finding themselves without 1 proper check started off without much delay. Mr. Wilson was driving at the time and when it was apparent that nothing could be done to stop the team he ordered two who were in the wagon with him to jump out, which they did, and he followed them.

All were more or less injured in jumping but nothing else could have saved them from serious injury or perhaps death. The team dashed down Totowa avenue in a manner frightfal to behold. At Albion avenue the horse car had a very narrow escape, one halt minute of time would have made a collision unavoidable. The horses continued on down Totowa Hill at a terrific rate of that speed and it is a most miraculous thing the horses kept their footing and the wagon remained right side up on such a dangerous hill. The team kept well to the left of the road and the two wagons that were going up hastily pulled to the ether side of the road.

Several cans were thrown out in going down and at one point the wagon wheels were but a few inches from the deep gully that is on that side. A long sweeping turn was made at the foot ot the hill and the first break made from the the time of the start was in front of Atkinson's bakery on Hamburgh avenue, where the ranaway team collided with one of Mr. Atkinson's delivery wagons. The milk wagon was overturned. The top was demolished and the pole snapped like a match.

The now freed horses continued on down the a avenue, but were soon caught. Seven of the milk cans rolled out into the streets and 140 quarts of the bovine fluid migled with the muddy water and helped to fill the already full river. unloaded Mr. Atkinson's wagon was being at the time of collision, the horse having just crossed the threshold of the barn. The damage to the baker's wagon consists of break in the side and a broken shaft.

Blankets were thrown panting horses and they were walked around for fifteen minutes until Mr. Wilson came limping down the hill. He had received a bad injury on one leg in jumping out of the wagon, assisted by Mr. Van Houten, who resides in the township. Mr.

Wilson delivered what milk remained in the cans to wholesale. customer and started home with his broken wagon hitched behind that of his neighbor. An old saying is that nothing is so bad but that it might be worse, and this is literally true in Mr. Wilson's case, for in view of all the circumstances he certainly came off more than lucky. A Beery Episode.

One barrel of beer that was intended for sale yesterday was not sold, for before the close of Saturday it had mingled with the muddy waters of the Passaic, and is by this time no doubt used over again by one of the Newark breweries. While one of Graham's delivery wagons was passing David Senior's grocery store on the corner ef Water street and Hamburgh avenue on Saturday afternoon with a load of the beverage, the particular barrel of which we speak, burst, and the fermenting contents coursed its way to the sewer hole and soon a part of that vast body of water known as the Passaic river. It was a ludicrous sight to see men trying to stop the flow of the beer, but it was of po use trying. One passer by was well up to snuff for he drew the food basin out of his dinner pail and secured the fall of it with the free flowing, beer and received the hearty approval of the crowd that had gathered to see the fun. There were plenty who would have helped him drink it, but were told to do as he had done.

Men, women and children were seen running from all direotions to catch the beer that was flowing so copious and free, but the beer supply WAS not equal to the demand, for the greater part had found its way to the receiving basin of the sewer. "The fun WAS good and the laugh round" at the expense of the Passaio Spring brewery company. Surrogate Business. During the past week the business in the Surrogate's office ineluded the following: The wills of Hannah Post, Mary Brady and Julia Foley, deceased, were proven. Letters of administration were granted in the estates of Alice Dobson, and Walter Eldrew, deceased.

Ferguson deceased. An order to show cause why lands should not be sold to pay debts of the estate of Gottlob Burrer, deceased, was granted. Emil with Hollande was appointed administrator, the will annexed, of the estate of rank X.

Klanser, deceased. The liverymen were a gloomy lot of mortals yesterday, AT WASHINGTON HALL. Yesterday's Sermon by Presiding Eider Barnes. A Good ance and an Interesting Time. Notwithstanding the stormy weather yesterday afternoon the attendance at Washington Hall was large.

After the singing by the choir and a cornet duett by Mosers. Emerson and Shannon, Presiding Elder Barnes read a portion of the seventh and eighth chapters of Romans, taking as his text the twentieth verse of the fifth chapter of Romans: "Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound." After repeating the last portion of this verse, "but where sin abounded, grace did much more abound," the speaker said that a hidden wrong is nevertheless a dangerous one. We have brought before us, through the text, very prominently words, "Sin, Law and Grace," the three great factors in human experience, but where sin abounded grace did much more abound. From this the speaker entered upon a logical discussion as extent which sin abounded, without grace, in the human heart, and 88 An illustration gave the following: We will call your attention to a man who finds a little sore on his hand; it is not much at first, but grows little by little, and by and by becomes very painful, and he goes to doctor, who gives him some ointment, but without avail, goes to another physician, he prescribes for it according to his school, but it gets no better; and after visiting a few more dootors, finally the last ones makes a carefal diagnosis of the case and tells the patient it is nothing serious--nothing but symptoms and that if the trouble CAR be reached, which he says is in the blood, he says he can do something for it; and after the physician enters upon a discussion as to the mode he will adopt in treating his case, prescribes and cures.

There are very many symptons ia that a man breaks society. Assuming into your house at night, but does not disturb the property, you call it robbery. I call it symptoms. This running from point to point, illustrating as he went, the speaker held his hearers with close attention, so logically and plainly did to present his metaphors, reviewing the different phases of sin, and the circumstances which influence men in the acting of their sin. He said that there is 8 great strike in the world, men desiring to rise, men of noble aspirations striving to rise in the world.

Now you will say if they were all born with equal advantages, then we would not have this unbrotherly confusion. But the speaker then endeavored to show that if we were all placed in and under equal advantages we would and could not help one coming out ahead of the other, just 88 two boys with jack knives will trade or make a bargain, and one of them have the best of the bargain. Men are responsible for their condition in life, and there are 88 many evils grow out from the gilded palace as from the vile dens of debauchery. We have seen men with all the modern improvements in their homes, statues, paintings, beautiful architecture on their dwellings, and yet you would not trust them. But, says, the philosopher, give the man a chance, change his surroundings and his associates and let him rise in the world not to lower and degrade his condition.

This has been tried, says the speaker, to the extent of millions of dollars. There are men in this country who are worth burying; and there are men worth millions and you would not trust them for all that. The hypocrisy of the world, its degredation and many phases were called up in such An interesting manner and the right remedy applied. The different degrees of selfishness in the human heart was dwelt upon, the manner in which Bob Ingersoll runs down the gospel for $25,000 a night. What do I mean by Grace? What is the grace of your mother? Why, it is the loving tenderness of her soul.

What in the grace of your loving wife? Why is the grace of God? God is loved, the world and whosoever loveth him shall not perish but have everlasting life. The grace of the mother is the loving heart, the grace of God. that Come labor unto and me; are come unto me all ye heavy laden and I will give you rest. The Rev. 8.

A. Meeser will preach the sermon next Sunday. The County Bridge Accepted. The Joint Committee of Passaio and Bergen County Freeholders; Director Planten, of the Passaic Board. and Grodie, of the Bergen County Board; Superintendent Sardly, of the Passaio Rolling Mill, and others interested in in the building met of the new County Bridge Passaio, Friday afternoon on the bridge.

After careful inspection and a did promise the stone from Contractor that Sandford who work, he would do some extra pointing up on the piers, they agreed to formally accept the struoture and pay the bills. Emmet Celebration. On Friday next patriotio Irishmen throughout the Universe will celebrate the anniversary of Robert Emmet. The Irish National Land League of this city, are making extensive, arrangements to celebrote the event in a flattering manner. The Opera House has been engaged for next Sunday afternoon.

Able speakers will be present. An excellent performance is beleg arranged. There will be no meeting of the Board of Aldermen this evening. FEMALE COMMISSIONERS. A DEMAND FOR FEMALE MEMBERS TO THE SCHOOL BOARD.

It is Claimed That Some Committee Work Need Women to Perform It Properly. Some Advantages and Obstacles to the Project. A prominent citizen and politioian of this city has received a communication from a lady, asking him to use his influence in securing the nomination and election of a female representative to the School Board, and gives her reasons for the request. In argument thereof she claims that there are many cases that need investigation and that should more properly come before a committee of females than males. 'The lady cites other cities that have adopted the method and the success that the undertaking has attained.

Now this subject has been broached before, but it has never received the consideration that it should have received, and a Board made up of males and females would be a novel though interesting spectacle. Of course it would entail a considerable amount of changing of the family manual of the male commissioners. The married ones would, of course, don their Sunday best and the unmarried ones would' have twelve rew suits per annum. Exceptions would necessarily be made to almost every standing rule, 88 no would care to court the displeasure of one their fair associates by opposing the passage of anything they might see fit to offer. The wives of the married male bers would be in attendance in the mem- auditorium to see their husbands home safely and the best.

girls of the single male members would employ Pinkerton's men by the year. To be members of experience in most cases, it would necessarily would require married women, and as the pay not warrant one in paying for a nurse, the children could be brought along by their ma's and the Board of Health's room could be converted into a playroom for the various broods. There is, however, one serious obstacle that presents itself, and that is how to prevent the Board becoming eventually all females, for this would be too radical a change. The number of males and females would need to be designated and the wards sending females would have to be stated, and the trouble would be to keep all the eligible women in the city from settling in those certain wards. The condition of things would be that five thousand women would try to convince the public that they each had a special claim upon the off de and 4,999 would get left, while each man would be compelled to vote for his own wife or best girl, as the case may be, or incur the lasting enmity of that estimable per80n.

However, in point of good, the 1 proposed project would be a huge success, as the introduction of females as members would reduce the amount of wrangling in the School Board. AMUSEMENTS. OPERA HOUSE. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings next the celebrated temperance play "Ten Nighta in a ar-room" will be presented at the Opera House. An exchange says: After sitting through the five aots of "Ten Nights in a Bar-room" at Taylor Opera House last night, one feels like declaring of plays, as of songs, that the old ones are the best.

The pleasure which it gave to the audience that packed every inch even of standing room in the hall, was after all the best test of the merits of this. great moral drama. "Ten Nights in a from its very popularity, has suffered most, because it has been seized upon by theatrical companies of all kinds, good and bad, and the inferior ones generally, paid Trenton visit. But night it received the treatment which it deserves, and in the hands of Mr. Leslie Gossin's capable company, its many tonching scenes affected the audience to tears, while its many cal dialogue set them in roars of laughter.

Mr. Gossin gave the character and drunken Joe. Morgan its full strength had many opportunities, especially in the delirium tremens scene, tor displaying the dramatic talent with which he is gifted. Miss Teresa Newcomb, as Mrs. Morgan, gave him splendid port.

Mr. E. W. Marston won rapturous applause by his humorous delineations of Sample Switchell, the village Harry Rech did well as Simon Slade, Leslie Edmunds was good 88 Frank Slade, and the rest of the cast gave ample satisfaction. Bady de Castro, as little Mary Morgan, deserves a special word of praise.

Firemen' Exemption Laws. There still appears to be a great deal of uncertainty about the statues of New Jersey. a8 regards exemption of firemen from taxation. The revised law of 1885 provide that any person claiming exemption by reason of his being fireman shall be assessed against him or his property or both by authority of the municipal corporation under the supervision or control of which he may be doing publio fire duty, and if such claim is made by reason of his being exempt shall only be made in taxes assessed against him by the municipal corporation in the service of which he became an exempt fireman. All the electrio lamps are to be changed for another pattern that will not go out at night.

They claim that the Dundee Company has not signed Mr. Bogert's petition for a right of way.

Miss Phobe Cleveland is much worse than she has been since the commencement of her present trouble. She made a visit of about two weeks to New York recently, and that does not appear to have done her any good. Alex.

He was arraigned for trial and Lawyer Moore appeared in his behalf, asking for a postponement.

Yesterday Felix too heavily and annoyed his employer who turned him out of the shop. Thereupon Pierre went before Justice Oonkling and sued for a week's pay. The case will be tried next Friday. Venerable Lodi. Lodi has an interesting history if it could only be written up properly.

It WAS a thriving village when the city of Passaio was not yet thought of and when the onk people were of its to progenitor Acquackanglad go over to Lodi to spend their holidays and see some fan. Sheriff MoKee's people came. from Lodi.

FOUND DEAD. MRS. VAN SAUN, A GRAND COF A REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIER, DAUGHTER, EXPIRES ON A STOOP. Whilst on Her Way From Church St in Siezed With Heart Trouble, Dies Surrounded by Strangers. Cer oner Smith Summoned.

at last Among the many service devout worshippers evening's at the Prospect M. E. church, none prayed more earnestly than Mrs. Maria Van Saun. In less than fifteen minutes after leaving the church she was cold in death, having died on a door step next door to Van Riper's belt shop on Van Houten street.

There was no one with her when she left the sidewalk to find rest on the Her movements there attracted the atstoop. tention of a number of passers-by who stopped to give her assistance. Soon the crowd began to grow larger, and in less than five minutes about twenty persons gathered round her. Just a8 a few gentlemen had decided to take her to a residenee, she died without struggle. Word was sent any to the apparent police station.

Captain Bimson telephoned for the ambulance, which responded promptly. Coroner Smith was then notified. When he arrived at the station heuse he took possession of the body, which was in the ambulance, and ordered it to be taken to his office on Main street. Mr. Abraham Decker, son-in-law of the deceased and her brother, Constable Post, arrived at the coroner's office shortly after the body was removed there, each of whom stated that Mrs.

Van Saun had been troubled the last two years with heart disease. After viewing the remains, the coroner decided that he would take no motion in the case until this morning, deeming it unnecessary to empanel a jury. Mrs, Van Saun was born in Paterson and was about fifty-eight years of age. She WAS a married woman, she and her hueband having parted some years since. of She was the daughter of John Post, 006 the best known and oldest settlers Lake View and a grand daughter of Captain John Post, of Revolutionary fame, a whose heroic deeds and bravery find conspicuous placein Captain Simmon's Revolutionary reminiscenses.

I abor's Holiday, Next Monday evening Donahue will introduce in the 1 House at Assemblyman Trenton, a bill setting apart the fires Monday in September as a holiday to be known 88 Labor Holiday. It has often been said, and truly, that we Americans have too few holidays, and that we never take a rest in our case for the "Almighty Dollar" until we are obliged to. Here is an excellent opportunity to add one more to the small number of holiday. we have, and we hope the House will promptly act affirmatively upon Mr.

Donahue's bill. If we can set apart, we have set apart, one day each year, nominally to revere the memory of those who died on the Union side in the seofor tions, but in realty to afford opportunity regettas, horse racing, excursions, surely we can with perfect propriety set apart one day in each year when our living toilers -the bone, sinew and marrow of the Nation--can recreate and rest themselves. Pass Donahue's Jersey Unionist. Sunday Court. in the Yesterday was an unusually dull day Recorder's court, their being only three cases to be disposed of.

William Kinsey and Frank Shields were accused of being drunk. They were let off under a suspension of sentence. Cornelius Fisher paid a fine of $4.68 for being noisy on the street. Prof. DeVoe, the Hackensack wenther prophet, was in Paterson last week and predioted that during the middle of February there would be a very heavy freshet.

As there is generally one at that time, the prediction is regarded as tolerably safe one. DeVoe a short time ago asked City Surveyor Ferguson and ex-Judge Daggers watch how his forecasts came out. He olaims that he can beat the Government signal service all hollow. The result of watching his forecasts so far this month has shown that he has been right six times and partly right eight times.
