OFFENSIVE ECZEMA
Suffered Terribly. Doctors and Medf*
cines Useless. Cured in Four
Weeks by Cuticura.
I have a boy, fifteen years old, born in Fishkill,
portrait enclosed, who had the eczema so of
fensive that 1 could not stay in the room with
thim. The poor boy suffered
terribly. His feet were ter
ribly sore, he could not wear
anysboes, and had therefor©
to stay at home from school,
i When he put on a pair of
dry stockings in the morn
ing, they would in one hour

and fingers. The thumbs on both his hands be
came stiff and as useless as two withered sticks of
sroad. It would be useless for me to try to tell
die suffering this bov endnred. I took him to
two different doctors, both gave him lots of
medicine, but all to no use. He grew worse.
I therefore despaired of ever having him cured.
One day I saw the great benefits promised to
those who would use CrTiuii'-A Remedies. I
went right away to the drug store and bought
them. However, I used them according to di
rections, and to-day I say truthfully to all the
world, that my son Is entirely cured, thank God
and thank the discoverers of Cuticcea Reme

CLUNG TO THE NIGGING
Perilous Rescue of a Ship
wrecked Crew—Terrific
Seas.
New York. Jan. 27, 1894—Steamer
France (Br.) Hadley, Loudon. Jan. 8, with
merchandise to F. W. J. Hurst, arrived at
the bar at one o'clock A. M.; had strong
westerly gales and high seas throughout the
passage. January 13, lat. 48. long. 16, fell in
with the Norwegian bark Havelock, Captain
Olsen, from Pensacola for Calais, lumber
ladeu. water-logged; took off the Captain
and crew of seventeen men and brought
them to this port.
Captaiu Hadley of the National Line
steamer France tells the following story of
the rescue of the crew of the bark Havelock
on January 13:—
“We left London on January 8. Had
moderate weather on the channel; thence
had strong westerly winds and high seas.
On the 12th experienced a hurricane and
terrific high sea. Slopped engines at four
P. M. Ship drifting broadside to sea.
DISTRESS SIGNALS FLYING.
“Oil was used very effectively. At midnight,
weather moderating, put ship on her course
again. Bar. 28, 70. At 1:30 P. M. of the
18th. Lat, 48:38, Long. 16:12, observed a ves
sel to the S. W. with distress signals flying,
immediately l>ore up, and upon getting close
to her coidd see all the crew
standing on part of a deck house
and hailing us to send a boat. The
sea at the time was running high from the
eneets oi me uui nunue, uuwcvc-x, iucsbu^
head was put to the sea and we succeeded in
launching the forward port boat and sent
her away in charge of Chief Officer, Mi1.
Goudie, and four of the crew.
“It was some time before the boat could
approach the vessel, owing to the great
amount of wreckage that was floating aroiind
and hanging by the wire rigging from the
wrecked vessel, but after repeated efforts
the boat was enabled to get near enough so
nine of the crew jumped in and were safely
brought on board, the boat returning for the
remainder, which were also safely brought
on board, thev being seventeen in all.
A NORWEGIAN HARK.
“The captain of the vessel reported that she
was the Norwegian barque Havelock of
Sandefjord, from Pensacola. During the
hurricane of the day previous the ship leaked
and rapidly filled. To save her from cap
sizing thev were obliged to cut away top
masts. The ship was a complete a wreck
owing to the deck cargo getting adrift, and
that they had neither water or provisions,
everything being washed overboad. The
ship was fast breaking up and the Captain
wished to abandon her. The crew were com
pelled to take to the rigging until they were
fortunately rescued.
“By five P. M. succeeded in getting the
boat on board again and proceeded on our
couise, having accomplished the rescue in
about three hours.
“In conclusion, I may mention that the
boat's crew, under the direction of the chief
officer, deserve gi eat credit, as it was with
great difficulty and danger they could ap
proach the wreck, owing, as previously
stated, to the amount of wreckage about
her, together with the high sea that was
running at the time.”

JIr». Richard Fox’* Experience With
Knights of the Road.
Special to the Jersey City News.
Perth Amboy, Jan. 27,1894.—Two tramps
went to the dairy farm of Richard Fox yes
terday and demanded money from Mi’s. Fox,
who was alone in the house at the time, bhe
ordered them to leave the place. They re
fused to go and one pulled a pistol, saying if
his demand was not complied with tnei e
would lie serious trouble.
Mrs. Fox was equal to the occasion. While
the fellow was still speaking she reached to
the side of the door, and when her hand
came again into view she had a pick-axe han
dle in it.
Before either of the men could act she
| swung it above her head and brought it
j down with terrible force on the head of the
! man with the pistol. The fellow went down
quicker than Mitchell did when Corbett hit
him. The second man tried to run. but a
well directed upward swing on the back of
the head stretched him to the ground. She
then coolly disarmed the men. From the
man who "had displayed the revolver she
• took the firearm, and from the other a lmite.
With the pistol in her left hand and the
club in her right she stood calmly by until
the men had gotten over the effects of the
blows. When they had regained sitting pos
tures she lectured them, and at me conclu
sion ordered them to get out. They were
only too glad to obey, but she accompanied
them to the gate.
All the time she held the pistol so the men
could see it. The more dangerous club was
also in plain sight. When sue saw the men
go down the road she called for her daugh
ter, who was coming from another direc
tion. When the young woman hurried up,
sue alarmed the neighbors and a searching
party went after the tramps, but they could
not be found.
POTTERS STAND FIRM.
No Signs of Weakening Among the
Trenton Strikers.
Special to the Jersey City Neil'S.
Trenton, Jan. 27, 1894.—There were no
new developments in the pottery trouble
yesterday. A meeting of the Advisory Com
mittee was held, and it was decided to meet
twice a week hereafter. The next meeting
will be held on Tuesday evening. Meetings
of the local unions and of the different
branches are being held every day.
W. 0. Goodwin, president of the Potters’
National Union, was seen at the club house
on North Clinton avenue last night, and he
expressed himself as certain that the out
come would be a victory for the men.
He based his views on several features of
the situation. The packers, warehousemen
and other workers who have been unor
ganized have all now formed organizations
and are represented in the Advisory Com
mittee.
All the different branches are united on
the one position, and every man is standing
firm, with no talk of wavering anywhere.
The President spoke particularly of the
reduction being so great that it was a strong
point in their favor. He declared the new
prices to be below living wages, and that
there was no danger of “scabs” coming in
aud accenting the boss potters’ proposition.
According to his statement the men at all
other pottery centres are firm in their re
fusal to go to work on the reduction made.
THEY PUT SALT ONTHE TRACK.
Large Murphy of No. 140 Newark avenue
and Patrick Meade of Henderson and Eighth
streets, employes of the Consolidated Trac
tion Company, were arrested by Patrolman
Stevens late last night for putting salt on the
car tracks. They were arraigned before
Justice Kimmerly this morning in the Third
Criminal Court. He postponed their cases
until Monday.
NO NEW TRIAL FOR WEBBER.
Judge Lippineott today decided not to
grant a rule to sho w cause why the verdict
in the Boulevard cases brought against the
County by Christian Webber and Charles
Moran should be set aside. The particulars
of these cases have been published in The
Jersey City News.
COMMON-SENSE TRUTHS.
An Able Physician Explains tbe After
Efl'ects of tirlp, the Condition In
Which It I.caves People, and the
Only Thing To Do.
“It is a very slow process!”
The speaker was a prominent physician.
Continuing, he said:
“I mean getting over the after-effects of
the grip. Any one who has seen as much of
it as I have can easily understand it. The
grip lasts for a long time, and seems to take
a special hold upon the system. It frequent •
ly runs into pneumonia, sometimes loaves the
hearing partially impaired, the throat with
an irritating soreness, and the stomach with
impaired digestion. It seems to take a long
time to recover the strength, the energy, or
the ambition after one has had a run of grip,
and we frequently find neuralgia, rheuma
tism, and even worse things following it.
“Now, what should any sensible man or
woman do under these circumstances{ The
answer seems hard, but is really easy. Sim
ply help Nature to get over the trouble—
stimulate the body and faculties just a little.
This is what every good physician in the
laud advocates in order to drive grip out of
the system. It should be remembered, how
ever, that the stimulant must be pure, and
that nothing for this purpose is equal to
good whiskey. It is unfortunate, however,
that there is so little pure medicinal whiskey
to be found, and, in fact, it can be truly said
that there is but one truly medicinal whiskey
upon the market, and that is Duffy’s Pure
Malt. It is not like ordinary whiskey, how
ever much druggists and grocers may say so.
It has, in fact, properties poeessed by no
other, and is beyond question a stimulant
which can safely and effectually be taken to
prevent the grip or drive away its most dis
astrous after effect#.

TO CLOSE AT SEVER P.M.
Business Men Meet ami Take Action
Against tlic Gas Compauy.
A meeting was held last night at the rooms
of the Board of Trade by the Business Men’s
Association. Among those present were
Jacob Ringle, President; Edward F. Hoos,
J. Thompson, Mr. De jong, George B.
Stevens, J. E. Bernstein, H. Lewis, J. E.
Washburn, C. S. Furst, Mr. Van Nortrict,
B. Benjamin and Mullins & Co.
After some discussion it was deci ded that
all the stores represented by the association
should close at seven o’clock during the
month of February, and that at the expira
tion of that time further action shall be
taken.
Mr. J. E. Bernstein of the “Boston” offered
a resolution to the effect that the merchants
shall do something to relieve the distress of
the poor in this city. The resolution pre
vailed., but further action was postponed
until next week, owing to the small attend
ance last night. A special meeting will be
called and some concentrated action will be
taken in this good work. No plan or sug
gestion was offered last night, but one will
be formulated by the time of the speci 1
meeting.
The merchants discussed the price of gas
and agreed that the company was charging
too much for light. The merchants will
make a hard fight against the gas company
unless a compromise is effected. The asso
ciation will also endeavor to have stores that
are opened in this city for only two or three
months pay taxes. They claim that it is
wrong for merchants who remain here per
manently and pay taxes to be compelled to
compete with these fake stores that are under
very little, or, rather, no expense in support
ing the city government, but who receive
the same protection and advantages afforded
the heaviest taxpayers.
It was also decided that a committee
should wait on Vice President Young of the
Consolidated Traction Company, to petition
him to put on more cars and run them more
frequently than is now being done.
HORSEWHIPPED HIS WIFE
Grave Charges Brought By Elizabeth
Kelly Against Her Husbaud.
Judge Thomas F. Noonan, on behalf of
Elizabeth Kelly, has begun a suit for abso
lute divorce from her husband, John Kelly,
who lives on Poplar street. The complaint
sets forth that Kelly has treated his wife
with extreme cruelty, and that he is an
habitual drunkard.
Mr. and Mrs. Kelly were married in New
York on May 7, 1872, and they have four
daughters, the oldest being fifteen years of
age.
When Kelly was first married he had an
extensive junk businoss, but drink ruined
his business. In 1884 he and his family came
to this city to live, in the hope that Kelly
would reform if separated from old associ
ates. The experiment proved a failure. Mi’s.
Kelly had saved $900, which her husband
wanted to get possession of. Mrs. Kelly re
fused to let him squander the money, and,
she claims, he locked her in a room until 3he
did give him the money. tie soon spent tne
1900 for money for drink.
Mrs. Kelly alloges that after this her hus
band frequently beat her, and that once he
whipped her with a horse whip, and on an
other occasion he attempted to stab her with
a fork. He subsequently turned out of doors
his wife and daughters in the middle of the
winter allowing them to wear only their
clothing.
Mrs. Kelly and the girls went in their bare
feet to the house of Mrs. Ryan, a neighbor,
and the exposure made the mother and
daughters so ill that they have never entire
ly recovered from the effects.
DKANK TOASTS IN WATER.
Westfield Celebrates Its lOOtU Anni
versary as a Town.
Special to the Jersey City Hexes.
Westfield, Jan. 27, 1894.—A big public
dinner, where everybody drank toasts in
water or lemonade, was given in Westfield
Club Hall last evening in honor of the IGOth
anniversary of the town. This abstinence
from the use of spirituous beverages was
the result of a vote of the citizens at the
meeting two weeks ago. Covers were laid
for 200 guests, and there were fully that
number present.
While a few citizens were too indignant at
what they called the church’s “high handed
policy to appear, there was an excellent, rep
resentation from all the societies in town, as
well as many from nearby places. A num
ber of ladies were also present at the ban
quet. Among the toasts and the speakers
were:—“Jersey in the Union,” St. Clair Mc
Kelway of Brooklyn; General T. J. Mor
gan, U. S. A., “Our Present Congressman;”
“Our. Judiciary,” Surrogate Parrott of Eliz
abeth; “The Sword of Bunker Hill,”
Squire P. C. Pearsall, and “The Battle of
Springfield,” AJfred E. Pearsall.

Captain Farrier Says They
Violate the City’s
Ordinance.
SCRAMBLING FOR LICENSES.
Street and Water Charlie Says the
Vehicles Do Not Belong
to Him.
A few days ago Captain Farrier, of the
p-Precinct directed Policeman Quinn to
secure from Justice O’Donnell a warrant for
the arrest of Charles J. Somers, a truckman,
and also a member of the Board of Street
and Water Commissioners, who, he alleged,
was obstructing Warren street at Essex by
placing at least a dozen trucks along the
curb.
The Captain directed Quinn to particular
ly call the Court's attention to the fact that
the trucks were drawn each side of the fire
hydrant, making approach to it impossible.
Justice O’Donnell refused to issue the war
rant. declaring that to his personal knowl
edge the tracks had been permitted to re
main on the street for at least turee years
without any complaint being made.
A LITTLE LATE.
The Court believed it a rather late date to
make the discovery that a city ordinance
was being violated, and now Captain Far
rier, who has been engaging in a little war
with Justice O’Donnell, is mad.
He swore and declared such a course was
a mockery of law.
Subsequently he declared that Mr. Somers
operated at least a dozen trucks and never
took out a license for a single one.
The Captain knew what he was talking
about. He made this statement on Monday
last, and in some way it reached Commis
sioner Somers’ ears. Fearing the Captain
would cause some annoyance to the truck
men, he hurried to City Clerk Scott's office
and took out licenses. Commissioner Som
ers is not supposed to be connected with the
trucking business, but he took out the licen
ses, just the same. The two taken out bv
him were Nos. 186 and 187. Large sums of
money have been paid to Peter Somers and
Charles Somers for trucking by the city.
COMMISSIONER SOMERS NOT IN IT.
Commissioner Somers says he has no in
terest in the business, and declares, that it is
conducted by his brother Peter, and his
father, whose name is Charles.
Last year, although the Somers used at
least ten trucks, but one license was taken
out. The records in City Clerk Scott's office
show that it was issued on March 30, 1893, to
Cooper & Somers. All licenses expire on
July 1, and the fact that Commissioner
Somers should take out licenses at this time
is regarded as an acknowledgement that he
has been evading the law since July 1, 1893,
at least. The licenses cost only 81.50, and
Captain Farrier has been smiling to himself
that he has been instrumental in increasing
the city’s treasury to the extent of $3. The
Captain is on the war path for the Somers
truckmen, and he intends seeing to it that
every one of the trucks used by the family
in the trucking business shall be licensed,
even if he is unable to prevent them from
obstructing the street.
COUNTY EXAMINATIONS.
They Will Be Held This Tear at
Hurrlsou.
It has been decided that the next regular
examination for the second and third grade
county certificates for teachers will be held
at Harrison on February 2 and 3. The
County Superintendent, the Hey. Dr. George
U. JfcLOUgniOn, wameu iue CAtuumanuu ms
held at School No. 2, in Hoboken, but the
School Board in that city obstinately re
fused to allow it. Pastor Houghton wanted
a class dismissed on Friday, and the board
said this was unnecessary; that if Dr.
Houghton wanted the examination conduct
ed in that school no class should be dis
missed. , . ,
So the County Superintendent devised a
little scheme, and now the examination will
take place way out in Harrison, near the D.,
L. & W. railroad depot. The new school
on Hamilton avenue will be used.
This examination is necessary for those
graduates of the public schools of the county
who wish to become teachers. First the
county examination is conducted, and then
the second and third grade county certifi
cates are received by examination.
During the past year there have been
ninety-four graduates from the Hoboken
High School who have been examined for
third grade certificates by the County Super
intendent. These graduates have gone
through 432 county examinations, which has
involved a marking of over 11,000 legal cap
sheets of closely written matter.
Thirty oue of these are teaching in county
schools. __

MISS BAEEOWOLirr SITS UP.
Beginning to Take an Interest in the
World.
Miss Barrowcliff was permitted to sit at
the window of her room in the City Hospital
this morning. She had not been there many
minutes, however, before she complained of
her eyes hurting her. They are yet week
and the bright sun shining on the white
snow proved too much for her. She talks
freely to the nurses on various subjects and
and lately has expresssd a great desire to
know what is going on in the world around
her. The nurse tails her what she thinks
will interest her, being careful, however, to
say nothing which will excite her.
Miss Dexter called this morning as she
has every morning since the quarantine,
which was imposed on the sick one, has been
raised. Two detectives are still hunting for
her assailants, but with poor success. Miss
Barrowcliff seldom speaks of her trouble
now, but when she does she sticks to the only
story she has ever told, namely, that she
was .struck in the back of the neck when
near the board walk.

SNOW BLOCKS TROLLEY LINES.
Electric Cars Stalled on the Com

The Communipaw avenue tracks of the
Consolidated Traction Company were made
impassable by the snowstorm. Before six
o'clock this morning a sweeper, a trolley car
and a gang of men set to work to clear
them. Starting at West Side avenue they
worked up the hill. By 7 o’clock they had one
track cleared as far as Bergen avenue, and
a couple of hours later they had cleared a
path as far as Harrison, Communipaw ave
nue junction. In this way they were able,
in the course of the morning, to half way
accommodate people desiring to go to the
ferry. The cars could not run on any
regular time, and persons wishing to pat
ronize them often had to wait for fifteen or
twenty minutes.
At eight o’clock a car started and a gang
of men started on the other track and worked
from the Junction towards West Side ave
nue. At twelve o’clock they had worked a
path almost to the Boulevard and they had
great hopes of reaching West Side avenue
by night fall. There were some fifty men
in the gang that were engaged in this work.
The men in charge of the motor were not re
lieved a t their dinner horn-.
The new’ electric sweeper. No. 11, made its
first trip last night at about 9 o’clock and has
been running pretty steadily ever since. Mr.

been at work and all the old time horse _
sweepers have been pressed into service and
saudwitebed between two motors, have been
making the mud fly.
