NAUGHTY CAPTAIN L0CKW00D·
An Idyllic Tale of Love With an
Episode in a Hoboken Hotel—
The Wine Cup to Blame,
of Course.
Captain William Lockwood, a well
known Jersey Citizen, is in a peck of
trouble, aud his friends are enjoying
themselves beyond measure, gossiping
over the little romance of which he is the
hero. The story is somewhat of the
Parisian school of literature, but that
fact does not detract from the general in
terest which it excites. The heroine is
Misa Henrietta Sullivan, and her friends
also are having a good time over it. Of
course, there is a good deal of partiznn
ehip shown on both sides, but everyone is
pleased, because everyone has someone
to censure—either the gallant captain or
the complaining damsel. The story
cornea before the public through the
agency of the courts, wherein it appears
upon the record in tne form of a breach
of promise suit.
Miss Sullivan is a charming young girl
of nineteen, who lives at JNO. 360 1-2
Fourth street. Her father is employed as
a stationery engineer and is well known
and much respected.
Ex-Judge Hoffman and Assistant
United States District Attorney Daly
have been employed by Miss Sullivan to
look after her interests.
captain IjOCKWooq is cwency-nve years
old. He commands the tugboat Stella,
owned by the National Storage Company.
After graduating from the High School,
he went with his father to learn naviga
tion, and becoming proficient in that art
he secured his present responsible post.
LOVE'S YOUNG DREAM.
Three years ago, he first met the charm
ing Henrietta. It was the home of Mr.
Norman, Third and Grove streets, where
a reception was being held. He was
deeply smitten. He would dance with no
other girl during the night, and lie
wished that reception had been prolonged
forever.
The couple met again at the house of
Mr. Costello, on Fifth street, and there.
Miss Sullivan makes affidavit. Captain
Lockwood made love to her. He asked
lier, "before parting at the door," to
"keep company" with him, she says. Her
gentle heart was won and she softly
whispered "Yes."
The natural result was that the Cap
tain called upon the girl of his heart with
regularity, and frequently remained UDtil
that witching hour when the United Gas
"Improvement" Company reduces the
■rr-ssnre.û£. ita.inains. Besides, he took
her to many receptions, among them that
of the "Pilots," held at Pohlmann's Hall.
The companionship ripened into loye—
or. at least, the young woman swears it
did—and they became engaged. U nar
rating this portion of the idyllic tale in
lier affidavit Miss Sullivan says the cap
tain, when leaving her at her home,
would always place "his arms around her
waist and say that he loved and wanted
to marry her,"
ALAN I
Miss Sullivan says that after this both
"acted as lovers." anil that Lock wood at
appropriate intervals would "take her to
his breast and fervently say how he
loved her."
Miss Sullivan also says that liockwood
after a ball asked her to take supper· at
the Eagle Hotel. Hoboken; that she did
so, and that then she was betrayed into a
course of conduct not contemplated in
well regulated courtships. Miss Sullivan
is positive that she had never been to a
hotel before and nad no suspicions of the
Captain's guileful designs in taking her
there.
The supper, she declares, consisted only
of wine, an indulgence she was not ac
customed to. It is to the effect of the
wine and Captain Loekwood's protesta
tions of love that she attributes the cause
of the present lawsuit.
She wants the captain to marry her.
He declines the honor. She claims that
she has frequently asked him to do so,
and although he did not he still con
tinued his visits until April of the pres
ent year, and caresses were exchanged as
usual.
In May, Captain Lockwood was ar
rested and taken before Justice Allen.
He was held in $500 bail, and his bonds
men were Albert Datz and James Muir
head. Since then the suit has been be
gun to obtain damages.
VERY RETICENT.
When I called this morning at the
house of Miss Sullivan, her mother told
me that the young lady was ill. She also
said that she knew nothing about the
trouble between I-ockwood and Henri
etta. At. the home of the Captain I saw
his mother also, and she seemed much
worried.
She said that her son could take care of
his own affairs and she did not propose to
•\o so. She added that he had already ex
t, Mided $700 or #800 in this case, and that
if Miss Sullivan was looking for money
she could not get it from him, because he
did not have it.
BRIGHT YOUNG SCHOLARS.
The Higli School Forensic Society Hold·
an Interesting Meeting.
The bright young Intellects of the High
School Forensic Society combined yester
day to afford a very pleasant and profit
able entertainment to their many friends.
The members held, what they are Dleased
to term, a toast meeting, and dearly two
hundred of their friends gathered in the
High School assembly room to listen to a
discussion of the question, "Resolved,
That the Alpha Sigma Society Is a benefit
to the High School," after which picked
mi"".oers of the society responded to vari
ous toasts. The question was argued by
Euoch W. Perry, P. M., and George
Flack, R. F., on the affirmative, and Ed
die Dusel, C. B., and Percy Kink, Ο. I.,
£ on the negative. The judges naturally
I decided in favor of the affirmative, as it
did not require very strong arguments to
fc induce them to believe tnat the Alpha
B. Sigma Society, composed, as it is, ot some
ι of the cleverest and pretties young ladies
ι jg connected with the High School, is of
[\ f especial benefit to the institution.
U 5 In responding to the toast, "The
ft Faculty, Shepherd Franû, L. L., paid a
D -fitting tribute to each of the various prin
H -içipals, and insisted that the principle

that clever young student, Alphonse
Biankeuberg, D. G., whoso effort was an
nnueually bright one. He was presented
with a whistling bird to remind him of
"Birdie."
"Allie" McLean, M. D., was presented
with a lumping jack for saying in the
course of his remarks upon the Alpha
Sigma Society that its members met every
Friday afternoon for an hour and twenty
minutes to discuss Butterwick's fashions,
the latest styles of hair dressing and the
respective merits of the qualities of Tulu
and Tutti-Frutti.
Charles C. Kelly, M. W.. said a number
of bright things in his response to the
toast "The C. Commercials, ' and Alvin
Macnab advised the "honorary members"
to talk less and do more work.
Clement W. Little, C. F.. said in refer
ence to "Our School" that a petition had
been handed in to the Board of Education
to have the piano removed, as "Hazzle
Dazzle" and that "Old Maids' Comfort,"
Mendelsohn's wedding march, had grown
provokingly monotonous.
The girls of the High School presented
Isaac Goldenhorn, P. F., with a tin fish
horn to enable him to trumpet his accu
sation that they surreptitiously read
novels under covers of encyclopedias and
sacrificed "Grubb" in order to practice
the latest steps in dancing during the
dinner hour. In acknowledging the
present of the tin horn Mr. Goldenhorn
informed the donors that he proposed to
toot that horn if he didn't sell a clam.

THAT'S Ή Π AT A VOTE FOJt KEBN'8
CANDIDATES MEAN.
Ail Unholy Combination—North Hnd«on
Kemites to Help Kepeal the Jersey
City Charter—Jersey City Kernltea to
Help Split Hudson County.
"It seems to me," said a well known
Jersey City Democrat yesterday, "that
the big issue in the pending local cam
paign has been lost sight of in the excite
ment of the hour.
"Has it occurred to you—do you know,
rather—that a vote for Kern or anyone of
the kicking Democratic Assembly candi
dates is a vote for a division of the coun
ty? Fagan is a two-countv man
and Usher since his nomination Has writ
ten a letter pledging himself to the same
scheme. But it may be news that all of
Kern's candidates here in Jersey City as
well as those in Hoboken and Λ orth
Hudson, are necessarily pledged to its
support.
"How do you rnaKe that out?" I asked.
"Here is the explanation: The new
County Committee, as the Kickers call
themselves, represents two elements of
discontent in this county.
"In North Hudson it represents the
fellows who cannot achieve office in this
county and who hope to get into place if
that section of the county can be set off
by itself.
"Here in Jersey City it represents the
crowd that lost office by the adoption of
the new charter. They made a union of
the two causes, and it follows as » mat
ter of course that the basis of the
union is the understanding that each
shall aid the other in achieving its pur
pose. The North Hudson element
are to aid the Jersey City malcontents
in overturning the charter—in bringing
about its repeal by the next Legislature!
The Jersey City element is by the very
conditions of the union forced in return
to aid the two-county men in bringing
about a division of the county.
"This, it seems to me, is a very serious
aspect of the campaign as far as Jersey
City is concerned. I do not believe that
there is a man in the city who favors the
destruction of the county by dividing it.
But a vote for Kern or for any of his
crowd is, it is very apparent, a vote for
that scheme."
MRS. WILSON'S NEW DEESS.

IN QUAKEK GOWÎiS.
The Novel Tea Party at the Linden
Avenue Chureh.
The little basement of the Linden Av
enue M. E. Church was even more
crowded last night than it had been on
the previous evenings at the Quaker tea,
held there under the auspices of the Ep
worth League. A number of very pretty
young ladies, gray gowned and w;hite
capped, flitted about attending to the
wants of the assemblage. Any amount
of pretty things were arranged. on the
tables, and lucky was the person who
escaped with more than enough in his
pocket to pay car fare.
The young ladies in the gray gowns
were supposed to represent Quakers, but
they were in no way as grave as the tradi
tional member of that sect. The fancy
table was. as the poet of tbe church put
it. "a poem in knick-knack»." It was
under the charge of the Misses Vreeland,
Keifer and Robinson. Masters Arthur
and Walter Halm and Ray Keifer
gathered in the shekels from the young
sters with a magic lantern show.
Taffy and bon-bons were sold by Miss
Armstrong and Miss Harris, and the
Misses Saybold and Wauters served de
licious lemonade to the thirsty throng.
Everything, from a bib to a kitchen
apron, was to be had at the apron booth.
It was under the care of tbe Misses Min
gasser, Gibson and Miller.
New and novel means for enticing the
wherewithal from the pockets of the un
wary were found at the "Novelty" table.
Among them was a guessing contest.
Prizes had been offered to the lady and
gentleman for guessing the number of
eans in a jar. At the close of the fair
the prizes were awarded to Mr. W. L. Mc
Intyre, whose guess was 3,100 beans and
Mrs. Saxey, who guessed 2,000. There
were just 2,079 beans.
The best patronized department at the
fair was the restaurant. About a dozen
ladles were in charge, under the direction
of Mrs. Ely, They were Mrs. Kay, Mrs.
Meyerding, Mrs. Barnes. Mrs. .1 <e\vis,
Mrs. Vreeland, Mrs. Fersee, Mrs. Caple,
Mrs. Keifer, Mrs. Simouson and Mrs.
Mclntyre. The package table was in
charge of Mines. Burden, Jones, Mc
lntyre and Caple. At the close of the
fair last night u goodly sum was in hand,
and although the amount was not an
nounced it was thought to be about $200.
SHE LOOKS LIKE FANCHOX
Poor Mary Devine, Orphaned ami Insane,
In Justice 8tllnlng·» Court.
There was a pathetic soene in Justice
Stilsing's Court this morning. When the
name of Mary Devine was called there
responded a young girl who looked like
Maggie Mitchell's Fanchon. She was a
singularly pretty girl, with a mass of
fluffy light brown hair which fell way
below her waist. It was plain to every
one who saw the girl and her actions that
she was insane.
Superintendent Brown, of the Lorillard
Tobacco Works, called upon Chief
Murphy yesterday and requested him to
take charge of the poor girl. He said
that she was fifteen yeax-s old and an
orphan. Her mother was employed in
the factory up to the time of her death
some two years ago. When she died she
left her daughter $1,000, which she had
saved, and requested Mr. Brown to take
care of the child. Mr. Brown did so and
gave her some light work about the
factory.
Recently the girl has been acting
queerly. She developed a tendency to
pick up bits of paper and scraps of to
bacco and fill her pockets with them.
Finally her conduct became such that
Mr. Brown thought it best to appeal to
Chief Murphy. She was kept in the de
tention room over night, and this morn
ing she was committed to await the ex
aminatiou of the County Physician.
The First Great Blizzard.
DEXVER, Col., Nov. 3, 1889.—The snow
storm, which prevailed forty-eight hours,
has abated. It was the worst storm ever
experienced in this region. Reports from
the South say that thousands of cattle
and horses have been drifted off their
ranges into the southeast, and that hun
dreds of the weaker animals have per
ished in the blizzard. All trains are de
layed and wires are down. The damage
to fruit and shade trees is considerable.

137 Pavonia avenue, was before Justice

Λ Case of MUtakeu Ideutity.
August H. Ringler, who was arrested
yesterday charged with obtaining money
under false pretences, was discharged
i
this morning. The police are satisfied
that he is not the right man and that it is
a case of mistaken identity. Ringier was
accused of soliciting advertisements for a
ball programme without authority and
keeping the money.

BARD Η Έ 8 WAG IS CHANCERY.
He Gain· Little by the Discontinuance of
tbe Attachment.
The representatives of the Austrian
government and Daniel Baruch have
discontinued the attachment suit against
Simon Baruch. It will be remembered
that Simon is alleged to have fled to this
country with a large amount of property
belonging to the Austrian government
and to his brother Dauiel.
He was arrested In Hoboken, and the
property found In his uosessiou was at
tached.
Messrs. Wallis, Edwards and Bumeted,
who represent Simon, gave notice that
they would apply to Judge Knapp this
morning to have the attachment set aside
and yesterday the suit was discontinued.
As the property is now tied up in
Chancery, Simon Baruch has not gained
much material benefit by the change.
Today Senator Edwards asked Judge
KnapD to grant an allowance to the de
fendant for payment of costs. Judtre
Knapp so ruled.

A KICK AT THE L ROAD.
Objecting Property Owners
Meet and Discuss.
CENTRAL AVENDE BE8IDENT8.
Reasons Which Some of Them Give
for Their Present Attitude.
The two associations of property owner·
opposed to the extension of the North
Hudson County Elevated Railroad, and
known as the North and South Central
Avenue Anti-Elevated Railroad Associa
tions, were recently consolidated In one
association, with William D. Smith aa
president, Herman Bruns, secretary, and
J. A. Smith, treasurer.
Last evening a meeting of the Consoli
dated Association was called at Kratz'S
Hall, No. 485 Central avenue. I visited
the place in advance of the meeting and
interviewed several of the members to
ascertain their objections to the "L" R.
R. extension and learn what action the
association proposed to take.
A CABLE ROAD PREFERRED.
William D. Smith..father of Freeholder
Adam G' Smith, and president of the as
sociation, said:—"I own the least frontage
on Central avenue of any member of the
association, but 1 am as much interested
in the matter and as bitterly opposed to
the extension as any of them. My hold
ing is only a frontage of twenty-two feet
at No. 279 Central avenue. Our objections
to the extension, are that the North Hud
son County Railroad Co. has not kept
faith with the citizens of the Hill; that
the extension through Central avenue,
which is the most important business
thoroughfare of the district, will not only
injure business, but will also depreciate
the value of our property. The franchise
is valuable, and the railroad company
should be comœlled to pay for it and the
damage done to property." He concluded
by saying, "We are not opposed to rapid
transit. We are opposed to the company
setting its posts in front of our doors, ,
darkening 'our street, and ruining our
property and business. If Mr. Bonn will
ni-u nu h f.ahl« mud wo will all tnrn in
and take stock la the road. "
SOME HISTORY.
August Tebbenhoff, a well known busi
ness man and resident of the section for
twenty-six years, owns property at No.
299 Central avenue. He said:—''Thirteen
years ago, at a meeting held to provide
for more speedy travel to and from the
Hill, a Mr. Dunkersly appeared before
the citizens in behalf of a company that
proposed to give us rapid transit. At that
time we had the surface road, and the
fare was eight cents. The citizens kicked
at the fare and the meeting was a result.
Mr. Dunkersly promised that he would
give the residents an elevated road from
Hoboken ferry to the Hill, provided the
people would give the right of way, and
take stock in the road, and that the fare
would be fixed at five cents. Mr. Br»
who was present, promised us that the
North Hudson County Railroad Company
would not ask us to give it the right of
way; that it would Duy the necessary
property and run their cars between the
Hill and the ferry, the fare to be only
five cents, and'that the property owners
would not be asked to take stock in the
road.
A gentleman present said he did not
believe Mr. Bonn's promisee. Mr. Bonn
asked, "Did I ever make a promise that I
did not fullfll?" The gentleman replied,
"I believe you as a private citizen, but
not as a railroad president." Well! The
North Hudson Railroad Company bought
some property at points along the route,
in small lots, to convince the people of its
intention to carry out the promised pro
gramme, but ω soon as Mr. Dunkersly
and his project were out of the way the
company sold the property it had pur
chased."
Mr. Tebbenhoff then complained of peo- .
pie travelling between the Hill and Jer- /)
sey City being denied a transfer, and /I
compelled to pay ten cents for the ride,
and said, "Mr. Bonn says he is unable to
properly arrange to transfer such passen
fers. Well, I'm not a railroad president,
ut I know that 1 could arrange it had I
"Let Mr. Bonn buy the needed property
as he promited he would. Let him give
us a cable road, and we will all aid him."
IT WILL DARKEN THE STREETS.
Dr. Josiah Horuolower.who owns oyer
two full lots at the corner of Central
avenue and Griffith street, and Herman
Bruns, who owns a hundred feet of front
age on the opposite side of the avenue,
are opposed to the extension on the gen
eral ground that the "L" Railroad will
darken and destroy the street for business
purposes; depreciate the value of property
along the route,and build up the northern
part of the county at the expense of "oui
section."
Peter Boney, who owns the property
from No, 245 to No. 251 Central avenue,
and Herman Bruckner, who has a front
age on the avenue at the corner of South
street, of fifty feet, coincided in these
views.
Among the prominent objectors from
the southern part of the avenue, were
Gustave Nelson and A. Walter.
THE MEETING.
There were about thirty members pre
sent when President Smith called the
meeting to order, and then I was politely
requested to step outside. I did so, and
waited patiently in the bar room for the
adjournment or an invitation to get in
side. The latter did not come, but the
former did, at last, and then I learned
that M. T. >iewbold, counsel for the asso
ciation had promised to be present te
confer with the members upon a plan of
procedure, but he had not kept his prom
ise, and the association had determined
to meet next Wednesday evening at No,
Honnnn Α,νΑΙΊΙΊΑ'
The route selected for the extension Is
from the Elivated station on Palisade
avenue, through Ferry street and Wright's
Woods, to Central avenue. From that
point, the road south will go through
Central avenue and Cook street, acroM
Newark avenue to the corner of Pavonia
and Summit avenues. The road north
will pass through Central avenue to Lake
street, West Hoboken, thence through
Soring street to Bergenline avenue, and
the stables at Union HilL
It is only fair to say that while the ob
jectors to the extension claim that they
represent 8,800 feet of frontage on the
avenue, there are many property owneri
along the route who are enthusiastically
in favor of the proposed extension.
Every Politician
In the county will be interested in th«
portraits and biographies of the candi
dates for State and local offices that will
appear in tomorrow's Sundat MobnIns
News. ■
