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.

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. JUSTICE LOWÏ TO JUSTICE STILS1MG.

Arthur Egan says a report is going around that he has withdrawn from the Freeholder fight in the Seventh Assembly district. He says that it is false. The German Republican Club of the Third district ha\ e endorsed the nomina tions for Assemblyman and Freeholder made by the Grove street wing of the party. The Young Men's Independent Club of the Third district ''whooped her up" largely for Joseph W. Griffin last nignt and gave the district a crimson color. It consisted of a parade of the club, 200 strong, marshalled by .Thomas Conners. Torch lights, banners and transparencies, fireworks and music by the Fourth Regi ment fife and drum corps, were among the features of the parade that took in the whole district. The start was made from "Ras" Lewis' place, No. 184 Newark ave nue, and the boys returned there when the parade was over and enjoyed them selves with refreshments, songs and speeches until midnight.

Augustus Bruggeman, Michael Mulloue and "Joe" Smith. By order of Joseph Quirk all members of the P. H. O'Neill Association are re quested to meet at héadquarters, No. 49 Newark avenue, this evening, at half past seven p. m. sharp, to participate in the First district parade, together with the Robert Çavis Light Guards, Farley Association and Murphy Bros.' Associa TO DIVIDE THE COUNTY. « 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. It Coat 9100 Wednesday and was Fawned Friday for 95. Mrs. Wilson, of No. 12 East Forty-flfth street, Bayonne, rushed into police head quarters yesterday in a great state of ex citement and asked to see the Chief.

During the morning while Mrs. Wilson was out Higgins came down stairs and asked the cook to give him a piece of paper to wrap up a bundle, which the cook did When Mrs. Wilson returned in the evening and heard of the occurence from the cook she rushed upstairs and found that a new silk dress, for which she paid $100 on Wednesday,was missing. Chief Murphv detailed Detective Mc Bride to the case, and the detective found the dress in Meyers pawn shop, where it had been pawned for $5. While he was there John Gray, of No. 12 Grand street. New York, came in to re deem the garment. McBride arrested Gray, who said that a man came over to his place and offered him $1.50 to come to Jersey City and redeem the gown. Gray was held. Sew Club in Bayonne. The Newark Yacht Club, of Newark, composed of a number of the wealthiest and most prominent gentlemen of that city, have purchased the property located on the Newark Bay shore at the foot of twenty-fourth street, Bayonne, from Mr. C.

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.

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.

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. DOUBLE DECK FERRYBOATS. And a Bridée Over West Street Planned bv the P. Β.

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. ■ Warmer Weather.
