Creditors make a B rafest..F , 0 Bnieutigam has taken advantage

61 .tho bankruptcy law and a moating of his creditors will bs held In Freehold be­fore Referee Frederick .Parker early next week. Several creditors in A sbury Park and vicinity w ill contest the proceedings, claim ing that Brm-tttSgam• has Illegally transferred property which was ample se. curlty for his debit Braeutigam Was In­dicted by the last grand jn ry tor .obtaining money under false pretences and la to to tried this month. He was released on ball. — . . . ' '

One of tha creditors is Dr. H. S. Kin- montb, who w ss endorser on Braeuti- gam’s notes at a time when the latter held considerable property in his own name, l t la alleged that Br&outlgara made over his property to h la jv ifa , and Shea refused to renew the notes which Dr. Klnmersth had endorsed. The appegl In bankruptcy will therefore be fought oa the ground that Braeutigam was abundantly able to pay Ills debts, and the transfer was In­tended to defraud his Creditors.

A Resolution Offered in Council Reducing the Salary to $230 a Year.

Councllmiin A ppleby has introduced a resolution in Council providing that after A pril ifl of this year the salary o f the Mayor shall be $250 a year. T h is Is h alf the salary now allowed by law.

Speaking on tho resolution Mr. Appleby sa itl& at the duties Aflhe-M ayor were very light. The position was an honorary one, and there was no reason w hy the city should be extravagant in the, matter of salaries.

Dr. W ilbur considered It unwise to take any acfioa at this time, Inasmuch as the personnel o f the Board would probably be changed after the election this spring; Again, the - present Council had no bust ness to legislate lor Its successors.

A t a rejoinder Mr. Appleby said thatthe Board changed the salary of the W ater Sis- perlntendenj In the middle o t the year,; and If Council conld so act In tbat case, it could with equal propriety act in the matter o f the M ayor's salary.

Dr. Keator expressed him self aa favor­able to the resolution

Chairman Harvey suggested Shat lt might be w ell to lay the resolution over until there was- a fu ll Board present, snd the rest o f the Councllmen acquiesced.

A ll the while the resolution w m ap for dlscussioo Mayor TenBroeck sat silently by. It ia intimated that he w ill veto She resolution, If passed, on the ground that the present Board cannot legislate for Its. successors. V

Even the Red Bank bowlers fulled to make scores that were above amateur work. Our howlers were not used to the alleys, and this bad much to do with their bad scores. These are the records:

There was an expression o f amazement on the face of every A sbury Park bowler when the first game was ended last night, and the total showed s defeat.

T b e next game also wont to Long Branch, 841-768, but lu the last the P ark boys put on ail steam and saved the game by the good total o f 850-778, Hubbard was expected to roll the three games, but only w entln on the final.

Township Committee Will Go to New York to Talk Business With the Company.

Couch and Bullock, manager antt counsel o f the company, attended the session, They noted a few alterations Which they thought should be made (n the document, before lt was acceptable. It is un3erstood that the franchise w ill be acted

At, the Invitation of the company, and for the purpose o f satisfying themselves oft pertain points In the agreement, the U on ittae w ill g o -to N ew —Y o rk -n e x t Tuesday for a conference w ith the officials. I t seetns to be the intention o f the com pany to afford every opportunityto the Committee to ascertain just what they are getting in giving a sewer franchise. ThOy believe in having all the details settled be- fore undertaking the work, so there w ill be, bo misunderstanding after the work is commenced and the system under way.

Dr. Henry M itchell, of the State Board Of Health, who warned Township Cqm- tolttse some tim e ago against adopting this form of sewerage, haa written ft letter to tbe Press in which he still Insists that the system w ill prove unsatisfactorymnd that t |e Committee should put in their own sewers and have absolute control of them.

Phillips, late o f the F irst Regim ent Engineer Corps, secured two p iccoi o f plats iron nn Wednesday morn- lug and taking his rifle to the beach, put a bullet through a piece o f beat Swedish wrought iron at twenty feet. Th e iron was backed against a pile and the b u ild penetrated the wood to a depth o f au Inch. The hole in the Iron was clean and almost ag Smooth qs though bored with a drill. Another piece of iron, much softer, and five-elghtha thick, was stood up without any backlog and the bullets flattened after going h alf way through. The plate wag bulged and cracked on tbe back. Had this piece bean placed against something which would hiiva prevented Its moving, it la believed the bpllets wquIdLhave gone through it as easily as the other. The Krag-JorgeBSon bullet Is 80-caliber. Th e old Springfield rifle was 45, and used nearly tw ice as much powder aa the mod­em rifle. ■ - j

T o settle whether a Springfield b allet made of lead would make any Impression on a piece o f iron half an Inch thick, P h il­lips took his guns and the same targets to the beach on Wednesday afternoon T w o shots were fired. T hs Springfield is 45 caliber and the charge was 70 grains of powder. T b e bullets were flattened • gainst the plates, making no more than a discolored spot. Putting up the plate which had already been pierced by a steel ballet, P hillips tired another shot from the K rag rifle. Tbe bullet went through the Iron as'easlly aa on the trial In th morn­ing.

He said that he had looked Into the'caMverycarefu lly a n d 'fo u lid 'th at under the law o f 1884 the W ater Commissioners had power to condemn or purchase land for water department purposes; that he had understood tbat when the water plant Was built the Commissioners were desirous o f getting a -lin e - o f pipe on South M ala street, and . from affidavits submitted be found that the property owners along the street bad agreed to allow the main to run In front of their land, provided they w ere given the use of two fire hydrants. These hydrants Were to fem ain as long as the pipe was down.

Mr. T reat was asked to say more on tbe subject, and for fifteen minutes bo firad hot shot at City Council'.

.Since the, old .Water Commissioners were secretly legislated of out office,” 'said Mr. Treat, ” they have been seaffilBlousiy abused for alleged mismanagement o f the water works.” - .....i. - - •

A t this-juncture Mr. Harvey interrupted Mr. Treat and requested that he tell what he'kncw Bboutra'former'cqntract between the Water Commissioners and the South Main stree property owners. I f Mr. Treat had any grievance against City Coun­cil he could state St at some other time.

“ I am entitled to a respectful hearing,” declared Mr. Treat. . “ 1 have been treated unfnifly, and have amarted under the stfgma long enough. The communication in which 1 was «sked to come here to-, night was the first respectful letter 1 have received from C ity Council since the water department changed sand.- Did 1 not

outrage hr ■___________________ _water board, and the.motives of the Com­missioners have been impugned. Unjust criticism has been heaped on us, But 1 tell you,gentlem eur that when the-ol,d.Watex. Commissioners had charge o f the water works the plant paid splendidly, and a large amonnt of the profit w ent into' the construction fund.

“ Had Council first consulted sotiie o f tho former Water Commissioners it would have saved the expense o f a law.euit.

“ W hen the water works were built we experienced many difficulties. Th e flrst wells aiong the railroad were a failure Then we went further south, OceauGrove commenced litigation against us, and we found ourselves best-t with other obstacles. Every'property owqer along South M a li street had ap e osem entof tha land, in front of bis door. Th e W ater Commissioners did the best thing possible under the cir­cumstances A n agreement was entered Into between them and the laod-oweers Ip which we agreed to giva the township the free use ot two-fire hydrants in consider^ tion o l tlie franchise to lay pipes in the street- There is no record of the proceed-' lngs. What the W ater Commissioners did at that time waa approved by the govern iug body. Ths insinuations thst have gopo out have touched our Integrity.; I remained quiet as long as I could, but finally patiencq.ceased to be a virtue.”

Mr. Hawkins was sisked what bourse was best to pursue, He thought that the bill for $1000 which tbe city has presented to tbe township for the use of the tire by- (hunts in question should be withdrawn, and such action was taken on motion ot Mr. Appleby. . -

Th e township has applied for a p erm i nent injunction to prevent the removal e f the hydrants, and there , seems no doubt

"but thut it w ill be granted.'

Washington, Feb. 1.—A ‘report * made to the navy department of a tour of Luzon, the largest .of the Philippine group, by two young naval officers— Paymaster W. B. Wiicox and Cadet R. L. Sargent, officers of Admiral Dewey’s fleet—has just been made public.

Thfese • youn& officers started out on Oct. 5*/With five servants, eight horses and about 400 pounds of baggage, in­cluding a'camp outfit, two rifles and n shotgun, with ammunition,- to make a thorough exploration of the. interior of. the island of .Luzon. ,

Notwithstanding the fact that they had previously secured the formal sanc­tion of Admiral De\vey, _ Aguinaldo Re­fused to Issue them passports, but as­sured them that they, might proceed unmolested by his forces.

They were met bt Bayambaug by a squad of Philippine soldiers, but by the influence of an English resident Wilcox and Sargent were enabled to proceed'/ toward Resales. On this portion of thq. Journey they'encountered bad roads, deep with mud pnd inundated In places by watar.. TheJ*»Veler3 were Jxeated courteous­ly* at Rosales, where'20 soldiers w<?re stationed, though surprise %yas express-~-.j tv .i- irrt: •*--; ed at their lack of passports

Raided All tlie Time.From Rosales to Humlngau and

thence to San Jose their experiences were, with lUtle exception, analogous to those already described. It rained almost continually, rendering the roads impassable. The horses grew weak rap­idly because of Inadequate food, qnd the party frequently suffered attacks of a sickness incident to the climate, and In general the trip was full of hardship.

In the country thus far traversed there was but little timber, except the forest along the Ogra river, and butjew cattle except buffalo, which abound and- are of extreme utility. The most primi­tive nlethods of thrashing.rice,_which ispractically the only labor of the na­tives, are in vogue.. In the villages of Humipgau and Lu- pao there were a few Spanish prisoners

The most ardent supporters of the theory that Dreyfus was unjustly con­demned- now admit that there Is *no longer the least hope that justice will be done.

A prominent member, of the Univer­sity of Paris who, from the flrst, has heen a militant champion of a revision of the-trial, Bays:

“For 99 out of 100 Frenchmen ‘the guilt.or innocence of Dreyfus is a mas­ter bfc* sentiment. All the reasoning In the world would nbt induce, them to c h kn g e their attitude. Th£re are mil- lionp of Frenchmen who will insist upon Dreyfus' guilt in spite of any proof to the contrary. A terrible feature of the situation Is that the attitude of this ma­jority is dictated by motives which they believe to be deserving, of the highest respect.

“I admit that some of the Dreyfus- ards are .much to'blame for this. The best jpause. may; be ruined, by diBreputa-' ble adherents, and there are men on the Dreyfus side of whom . every patriotic Frenchman is the natural enemy. While the majority of us have been merely demanding that justice should be done, a pestilential minority has made this de­mand (an excuse for virulent onslaughts on institutions we hold in great esteem/’

In conclusion, the member of the uni­versity predicts that the result of the agitation will be “an onslaught of un­paralleled violence on tlip Jews, as the masses are convinced that^they "are at the bottom of the whole trouble/' -

FIRST ICE YACIThe Boat .Tub; by George D. Allaire,. ot

Red Bank, S ixty Years Ago. •George D. Allaire, builder of tbe first

lee yacht ever sailed on the Shrewsbury river, Is a resident o f Red Rank.- He constructed tbe craft just sixty winters ago. In conversation with a correspond­ent he said :

“ W hen J waa a boy I went to school Its a town on the Hudson river, A few small Iceboats were owned in the village,.but they were unliko the speedy craft that

. skim , over the Joe In these days.* The sport so Interested jne. that I w as'deter­mined tp have a boat o f my own. In 1839 I completed my boat. The body of the yacht was similar to a butteau of the pres- entrday. The boat was rigged with a jib and mainsail and had three runners, the. two in front being linder the,,bow and flush with its sides. A t the stern was the other runner, which was used as a rudder The runners were about two feet long, aod made of three-quarter-inch steel, set In the stock dl . ly . The boat would hold comfortably about six people, in addition to the skipper. . The name of the boat was Flash, end its best time was a mile in two

,minutes and six seconds.“ Such a thing as an Ice yacht hdd never

been seen here before, and my. boat was viewed with more or less distrust. Its fame spread through all of Monmouth county.. Whan residents of other towns came to Red Bankrtbey made a trip to tho river to see my yacht." People wquld'also stand oa the r lfe r bank for hours so watch me sailing np and down the river A t first It was hard work to get anybody to sal! In It, hat distrust soon wore away, and before the winter ended I couldn’t accom­modate the people who desired to sail In the yacht. . ■

“ F o r ten years I had a monopoly o f Ice boating here. Then i N a t h a t B , Cook

Jilaced his skiff on runaers and made ao ceboat o f it. A fter that a number of yachts were built, much on the plan o f my own, and each boat war faster ban its

predecessor. In the early sixties Capt. Stevens designe d a boat-wSth four runners, which eclipsed a ll the others la comfort and speed. Than began another era of

- boatbuilding.. The low fnune yaohl with three runners appeared and waa’succeeded by the present graceful keel and cockpit host.”

Mr. Allaire’s age prevents him from taking an active part in the sport nowa. days, out he Insists that there is bo .other fun under the sun to compare with It.

s . \ , " ■ California’s Fine Climate,

Am erica Is a great country'. In variety and grandeur o f naturaTscenery It is utirl valed. To traverse it, to behold Its diver­sities and its wonders, Is a liberal educa­tion, a revelation to the Immured metro­politan citizen. The personally-conducted tour to California under the. direction of the Pennsylvania Riillroad Company, which leaves on February 9, affords a most excellent opportunity to view the vast variety and boundless beauty of this mar- .veloua land. The party w ill travel over the entire route in the model 'Pullm an train of smoking, dining, sleeping and observation ears exhibited at the World’s Fair, Chicago, and subsequently at Atlanta, Nashville and Omaha. Thla train w ill be placed In service for the first time on this occasion, and will be In charge of a tourist agent and chaperon, who will look after all details of the trip, as well as the in d i­vidual welfare of ihe members of the party. Stops w ill be made at Mammoth Cave, N ew Orleans during Mardi Gras Carnival, If 1 Paso, Los Angeles, San Diego, Redlands, Riverside, Pasadena, Santo Bar­bara, Monterey, D el Monte, Santa Cruz, Mount Hamilton, Men! Park, San Fran­cisco, Salt Lake City, Glenwood Springs, Colorado Springs,’ Massltou and Garden of the Gods, Denver and Chicago. Nineteen days w ill ba spent in California. Sound- trip rate. Including all necessary expenses during entire trip, $400 from all pointB on the Pennsylvania Railroad Byatem east of Pittsburg; $895 from Pittsburg,

month, and was feeling so much better that I liad forgotten about the bad feel: Inga I used to have. The doctors called my tronblo dyspepsia. I had it for about eev.en yeara, nnd had never,in all my life been able to eat rich food,or a very hearty Hjsaa. I often wondered why I alsould have so much dysnepeia. ’ I would have, what I call waterbraalx sometimes four or five times a uay,,-when eleaa - water thafr B&emed hot wohld run out of my mouth and the pain was eosnethlnr terrible_ for a minute, or else I would have pains at times in my -itomach that

Who Was the Youngest Governor ?Mr. C. S.J Tunis, a Freehold resident who

has kept track of names, dates and events in N ew Jersey politics, has' settled the fact that Gov. Nowell was the youngest Governor. He is now past 81 years, snd was inaugurated, when 89 years old. In January,-1857. Mr.THBls also eats right smother misunderstanding. Gov’rN ow ell was appointed Governor o f Washington by President Hayes, and entered on his duties in 1881, after Garfield had become President. - .

Spring Lake has raised $70,000 b y bonds to buy Its beach front, sewer system, water mains la streets, bathhouses, etc. I t i s & good thing for Spring Lake to 'o w n all these rights. W hy wouldn’t it he equally ma good-foc_Asbury Park to own Its beach, lakes and sewers, aa well as Its. water works t— providing the money can be raised: as easily as Spring Lake has done.

Long Branch Is annoyed by dogs, and {be Commissioners believe this would .be

" a good.'tlme togeS^rid of a few- thousand o f the .homeless vagrants. Asbury Park should- adopt the same plan o f ridding the city of the dugs that roam the streets and appear to belong to no one. In particular. T h e dogs thrive on the free lunch found in garbage cans in many back yards, and

-the fact, that they do forage' around is plainly seen la many yards in the mprniog where cans have been upset and the con­tents scattered- Over- the ground. - I f the dogs can be cleared out In the winter time there will be no occasion for “ proclama­tions” In summer about muzzling or shoot­ing, them, and.no fear of hydrophobia.

TOR MAYOR OF ASBURY PARK. ’I t can be stated as a positive fact that

SeW tor Bradley will not be a candidate for Mayor under any circumstances. It was not believed that he would, but tho plan of some o f the citizens of Asbury Park was to thrust the honor upon him, even though lie did not wish to assume' the active dutles_of the. office. T h ey felt IhBt m Mr. Bradley had never held the office since the c ity had been Incorporated it w:::: tim e ho should bri givon th:: i:(.:;, tesy o f election to the chief offlqo o f the c ity .he had founded

A s a result o f a great deal o f . private talk and engineering it Is stated that Mr. H enry C. W insor w ill be a candidate for M ayor i f the prim ary says so., L ike M r BradFe'yTlrfvWtHsorHonT’wahT the ollico, hut on the strength of representations made to him that he is the choice of a ms jorlty of influential residents, he has de. elded to leave lt with ihe primary to settle. Mr. Winsor w ill make a good Mayor. His business capacity is not questioned, and bis long residence and active participation

4n public affairs for m any years gives him an extra claim on the place.

^Mayor.TenBroeck, It Isjanderstood, is acandidate for re-election, and this will m ake thq^canyass pretty lively, as he'has, many friends among Republicans and Democrats who will stand by him for any office he- wants. But.there Is a rumor tbat the Mayor may, in the Interests of liar, uiony, withdraw aud let soine one else have the. office, as lie has held it for several terms aud his new business w ill occupy so much of his time in ihe busy season ol tbe year.

Mr; Kirkbtide, president of Council,Mr. H arvey and Dr. W ilbur have been sugges ted for the office, and it la more than likely that their names will be presented at the primaries. Mr. Harvey may be the nom­inee on the People's ticket, which is gen­erally put up in lieu of a straight Demo, crattc ticket.- W ith .two months yet before election, there are many possiblB BhairgDs and combinations which lt w ill be Inter­esting to keep track of.

Tramps Not Wanted. •The Freeholders; committee recently

appointed to recommend gome plan for .making tramps earn their living are learn- ing a little from other localities where tramps have become a nuisance. They visited the officials of Middlesex county at N ew Brunswick last week. Th is used to be a favorite hang-out for tramps, but since the Freeholders adopted the ball and chain system and put the tramps at .work, they keep away from New Brunswick. J .

And. as the Monmouth representatives think well ot this idea and w ill probably recommend its adoption, tramps w ill begin to learn that the seashore Is a bad place to visit for their health.

Freeholder H arry J. Rockafeller, o f Asbury Park, whp Introduced ■ the reaolu- tion of,Inquiry, was made chairman of the Committee. His associates are John Gulre^ Ocean; W. Ii. Stevens, Eutontown; Geo.B. Snyder, Shrewsbury, and C. E. Conover, Hoimdel. ” ..

A Big' Hotel for Easter Business'.• It is likely that AUenhurat Inn w ill be

opened early in April for Easter visitors,' and i f this Is.done Miss K irk w ill reopen the Curlew on. the; beack_Rt_that_piace,_ Miss K irk has a large following who w ill ■come to her house whenever she ia ready to receive them.

There seems to be a general desire td get many hotels open before- ihe. Easter! holidays,-and Asbury Park w iii not be be­hind the, other resorts in this part o fth e State. '

Members of the Board, of Trade and the resort committee aro seriously considering the proposition made by Mayor TenBroeck to give them the uss of tbo West End Tlotei,-if- the coittmittee-will— be-respoa- slblc. for losses, should the receipts not bn sufficient to meet the expense of opening at tuat time. The hotel can be made ready in a week. It has steam heat, large pur iors, piazzas, comfortable bedrooms, Is near the beach and tbe sun parlors, und has all the outfit for entertaining people used to the best.— I t is probable that at the next meeting of tbe committee soma action w ill be taken, as a number o f citizens hkve" prom­ised/th contribute to a fund -for tho .run- alng expanses and they aro anxious to have such a project given a thorough trial. Ttfey" believe that the time ia ripe for a start, and If no start is made nothing will be accomplished towards the spring move­m ent this year. With the W est End open it would be an inducement for hundreds of Cottagers aud summer visitors to spendbaths at Rosa’s will be open for every­body, and the aun-parSors along tlie beach will be ample to accommodate visitors In chilly or Inclement weather.

CHANGES IN COUNCIL.Th e M ayoralty contest is not aliowed to

absorb all the Interest in the spring elec- ; tion. Councllmen are to be elected and

candidates are becoming plentiful." The terms of Couneilmen Harvey In the.Sec­ond and Bradley Id the First, and Dr, Keator, Councllman-at large, will expire.

re-election,M r. Bradley w ill be re-elected either as Coqncllman from the First, 6r at. large, and Dr. K eator is understood to be w illing to serve the city again, but wants the same office st at present— at-large. The idea is grow ing that M r. Bradley would suit best asI. a Councilman-at-large, and that Dr. K satorsh ou ld be nominated from First W ard. But Mr. Bradley makes no de mends, and w ill follow the w ill o f the. voters. •

F or Mr; H arvey's place A lbert Saunders , and- George W . Treat have befin named. T h e latter'w ili not take the nomination if Mr. Winsor gets the nomination for Mayor.

A Trolley Victim Sues for Damages,Atlantic Coast Electric. Rqllraad Co. is

defendant in: a suit for $10,000 damages which has beea on trial this week at Freo hold. T lie plaintiffs are Catharine and John Burke, of Asbury Park, and tbe alle gntion la-that through tbe-eareiessness-of one o f the company’s conductors a guard r i l l on one. of the summer cars fell op Mrs. Burke's head as. she was getting on the car at Deal Lake bridge on July 80. Mrs.- Burke fell from the tops to the groumtand was unconscious for gome time. Since then she has suffered greatly with her head, nnd has partly lost, her memory.

Mrs. B urke was a "witness at thb" trial, and her appearance indicated the. severe strain she was enduring. Ds\ 'Rose, of West Park, and Drs. W ilbur and Johnson, of Asbury Park, gav® testimony as to the effect of the blow on Mrs. B urke’s head. Dr. Rose thought tbatm eningiiis had been caused, and tbe other doctors thought It m ight turn to this.

The railroad.company called Drs. For- man and Hepburn, who had examined Mrs. Burke for brain trouble and found ho symptoms. They believed she ’had nervous pro8tratlan“ and- would recover. Horace Applegate, conductor of tbe car,

“swore that, the guard rail did not hit Mrs, -Burke.

Th e case was sunfm ed'np on Wenesday and given to tlm jury. They gave Mrs. B urke $1000, and costs o f the suit.

The Assembly on Monday plght made a bid Idr the honor for N ew Jersey of hav­ing raised the first American flag on Cuban soil after hostilities began last spring. Republican Leader M cK ee offered^ reso­lution, which was adopted, reciting that Herbert H. Matts, a clerk in the House, was a seaman on the auxlllaty cruiser Badger and served his country with honor during the recent hostilities with Spain, having valiantly led aparty of New. Jersey sailors In making a landing at Pledras, on the south Coast o? Ggba, ahd after putting the garrison to fllgnpiotsted the Stars and Stripes over the fortifications, thereby winning for New Jersey the distinction of being the first to plant the American flag, the emblem of liberty, on Cuban soil.

A Window - Tull <if Souvenirs Gathered About Porto Rico and. Cuba,

An Interesting collection o f war relics is on exhibition In the window of Mattison Avenue Pharmacy. It was arranged by Bloomfield H ullck, w ho obtained them from several Asbnry Park volunteers In the lute wur. Tiie greater part is the property of -Elias-Longstreet, a-naval-re-^ servo; Alfred F . Phillips!, of the Engineer Gqrps, and Frank and Harry Newman, sailors on Uncle Sam’s battleships.

Ou Thu rod uy morning of last week a number: of the members o f the Monmouth county bar presented Judge J, Clarence Conover with a handsome and costly oi! painting of the late Chief Justice Mercer Beasley, 'o f the N ew Jersey Supreme Court. -

: Jndge Conover Was sitting in his private office in the court house just before court opened In the mo'rnlng, when in filed a number of lawyers. Surrogate Crater acted aa spokesman and In a few words presented the' gift, together with a neatly worded explanation which was printed on paper of an antique pattern. *

Judge Conov! responded to the pre- sentation speech, thanking the donors and expressing bis warm appreciation o f the gift.

The portrait, which is done Sn oil, is life size, and the frame measures five by three and a half feet. Henry Harrison, the artist, painted It In 1888, and the Chief Justice devojbed a number of sitting to him while he was occupied upon It. It la an excellent likeness and shows Chief Justice Beasley standing erect In his favor­ite posture, with hia arm bent and holding- h is eye,glasses before his breast, A table with ore. eaten law books Is depicted by the Bide of the Chief Justice, conveying the thought tbat although all these should ba destroyed the principles contained in them would survive in his mind.

Tbe donors are Henry 8. Terhune, W il­bur A . H elsley, Houston Fields, Charles H . Ivins, 8. A . Patterson, David 8. Crater, E . W . Arrowsm lth; John E. Foster, Wm. H . Vredenburgh, Edmund Wilson, Aaron E Johnston, Rena, W . Dayton, Frank P. McDermott and Joseph McDermott. .

Public Improvement!* by Women.The ladles of Enterprise, Fla., have

formed a Town Improvement Society, and it is astonishing what they have accom­plished in a few months, Last winter they h(*!d s bazar In the Broci^Sbpse A r­cade, and by m aking all sorts 0? beautiful and useful articles out, of palmetto grass, they sold over a hundred dollars’ worth o f their handiwork, and:at once set to work to Improve the streets o t the town;

They have ‘ ‘ shelled" the sidewalks of the/principal street, extending from the Brock House to the railroad station— more than h alf a m ile— also tbe street leading to the Episcopal Oburch.. It is their in­tention to she!! all the streets in tha same way, and to plant shade trees on the side o f the shell walks. * '

Pos this purpose.the ladles hold dime soclsbleravery'tw o weekBpm eetlngalter^- nately at the homes of the residents. A t the last "one the fund was augmented sev­eral dollars. Guessing 'advertisements was the sport o f the evening. Sixteen pictures of popular advertisements were handed around with a tablet and pencil for each one to write .down what ilia pic­tures represented! Tw elve out of the six­teen were,correctly guessed by one pf the Brock Mouse ladies, who won first prl?e, a large bouquet of the rarest rosea. There were so many applicants for the booby prize that it was decided not to award It. Cake and coffee were nerved gratuitously. Miss tlodine and Mrs. Krulder sang dnete and Miss Bertha Atkins played severalpiano selections. Some . o f {he_ youngpeople enjoyed a moonlight game of “ hide and seek” outdoors among, the tropical foliage.- ' Two Bathers a t Atlantlc'City.__

©neats bathing at this season cannot be- said to be” a popular and universal diver­sion, but as Asbury Park started the ball tfco weeks ago and! Atlantic City did not Want to be outdone, two inen were found brave enough to take an ocean plunge last Saturday. They said the water was cold and they did-not care to waste any time In sporting around In the breakers, but they did get into the water, and the adws was telegraphed about tho country o f the per­formance. None of Atlantic City’s spor- tive maidens have yet had the courage to enter the water In airy bathing-costumes.

A re Im p lica ted .

New York, Feb. 1.—Langdon Smith, Who haa been following the Adams poi­soning case for The Journal,, says in that paper:

VIn a search" of 34 days for th§ mur­derer of Mrs. Adams—a search un­equaled in th,e history of ihis city—the police have only succeeded in discover­ing a condition of things—a conspiracy of moral degenerates that is horrifying. The police belleve^-and everything indi­cates the truth of that belief—that the murders of Barnet and Mrs. Adams were brought about by the greatest conspir­acy of poisoners this country has ever known.

, “It Is a conspiracy of men who poi­soned not in passion, but to avert the stigma of the world. It Is a conspiracy of men of ambiguous character, men who care nothing for.rellgion, men who care nothing for an oath, men of perverted morals.

“Ask the police, and they will pooh, pooh the Idea.. It is their duty to do so. They will claim they know nothing of it. At the samB time there is not a man on the case who does not believe it to be true. . But old members of the Knickerbocker club wink at each other and talk of the Cleveland street scandal In London and in private remember things they have not cared to discuss.

Deffan Long Ago.“They will tell you that this condltlpn

of things began, in the Knickerbocker club tong ago. It existed during the latter years of K. C. Barnet’s life llt has existed since his death, ;although the members of the Mafla arfe now too bad­ly scared to Qoijte from under cover.

“Nowadays no ill fame attaches to a club In which a man becomes habitual­ly drunk: neither is it necessary to the respectability of a club that its mem­bers be moral. Therefore nobody paid

. .much attention_-toathe_‘goinKB_-on’ o£ the coterie that' arc supposea to have made away with Barnet and attempted

; the life of Cornish. ."Did one or all of these men fear Cor­

nish? Did they belleve that he could no longer be trusted with their secretsY He understood as wolf as any man the general conduct/ of the club. One of the suspected conspirators was driven out by him. Another followed the. first.'- !‘After the driving out oMhe.two sus­

pects the ‘gang* was somewhat disin­tegrated.— Then-lt—was that—the-con— spiracy began. At last one of the in­tended victims, who couIt^have.told « great many things, died, It was H. C. Barnet. He was burled, and nobody blit his physician and his murderers knew he was poisoned.

Turned to Cornlah." r..“Then the ‘gang’ turned their atten­

tion to Cornish. „ Their efforts went astray, and Mrs. Adams was poisoned.

"This was over a|month ago. The po­lice now know but little more as to the Identity of the poisohef th'aif whenthey began the hunt. For this, however, they are not at fault. Day after day and night after night they have been con­fronted by obstacles thrown in their way by the almost supernatural craft of the murderers, by men as crafty and as influential as hose.concerned. lt\_thq.

' Cievelhndistreet scandaf. * ’“At flrst the question With the de­

tectives waB, ‘What person committed the crime?'

“Now it' Is, ‘Which particular j>ne of a -dozen persons is guilty of the mur­ders?’

"At last they have realized the mag­nitude of the conspiracy, the moral de­pravity of'the conspirators and; the ties that bind them together. This is what* makes the mystery so hard to solve."

It is said that George G. Churchill, a gecantUi# oArAflfl 1» Er-Q f- Ka rUnc d. BQhtJa a fore Christmas a bottle holder similar to that In which Corrtish received the poison bottle. The police are Investi­gating. . ..... *

T o W ip e Out P r iv a te b e tte r Doxcn.Washington, Jan. 30.—The goveVn-

ment, commission for the revision and codification of the crlmlnnl and- penal’ laws of the United States Is now consid­ering and, it is understood, will incor­porate into Its final codification an

. amendment to the existing law _ pro­hibiting the maintenance In any city ofany private letter Jjox scheme.....

While lntended to break up the fa­cilities now flourishing In many cities for clandestine and- .improper, corre­spondence, the promotion of fraudulent

' schemes and the boycotting of. a post­master through subsequent direct de­livery to trains by using private letter boxes at. cigar stands, stationery stores and other private places, the proposed law is directly the result of the wide agitation oyer the'Adams murder case in New York, in which private mail boxes figure prominently.

The postofflce department has fre­quently sought to break up these In­stitutions, but heretofore unsuccessful­ly; the existing legal prohibition in sec­tion 3,829, revised statutes, _only apply­ing where the sign, name or title of a postofflce is displayed. ;7

A G u illo t in in g In Piurla.Paris; Feb. 1.—-Albert Peugnez, a youth

who .murdered a woman and boy, has been guillotined, her A: ;^he fact is nota­ble as being the last jekecutlon which is to take place on the Place £e , la Ro- quette, the famous execution place of Paris. An immense crowd of people witnessed the beheading of the murder­er, and therq was much ribald rowdy­ism during the night.

'A B uffalo R e a l E sta te E x ch a n g e .Albany, Feb. 1.—The Real Estate Ex­

change of Buffalo has been lncprpcrat­ed. The directors are WUlle B, Cutler, George B. Sickles, Spencer S. Kingsley, ■George W*.Mitchell, G. S. Metcalfe, Van Horn Ely, E. C. Burtardt, John Otto, Jr., and Frank E. Sloklea of Buffalo.

The Journal correspondent who was wounded at the charge of the rough riders at Guaslmas, will have to have one of his legs amputated at the hip joint,. The doctors consider thls*nece0- v&ry to save his life.

W ill B e C on sid ered .Washington, Feb. 1.—Now that the

Hull |rmy bill has been passed In the house, the milUpxy committee- wjll take up the army appropriation bill on Mon­day. *

The appropriation bill vWll be framed on the b^sis of 100,000 men, and Mr. Hull estimates that it will carry about $90,000,000. The chairman is confident the army reorganization bill will pass the senate and Jaecome a law, in which case appropriations for a regular army of 100,000 men would be required.

In any event, however, ’a quota of 100,000 will be provided for, on the theory that tHe present force of vblunteers and regulars 'will be retained In case con­gress does not provide a permanent sys­tem.

The atnoflnt for the bill will be.much less than the estimate made by the war department and'submitted to con­gress at the ''opening of the session. That estimate was based on an army of 150,0,00 men at a cost of $144,000,000, but since the forces have, bpen largely re­duced there will be a corresponding re­duction In;the appropriation.

W a r B oard Seek* a W fln e a i.Washington, Feb. 1.—-The war investi­

gating commission.has sent out a sum­mons for a fresh witness, -who, It is thought, will be the last examined be­fore the presentation of the commis­sion's report to the president. The new witness Is James Farnan, who was quoted In press dispatches as having sent a letter to Dr. Maxwell Christine pf Phlladelphla'Saylng that he had been stationed In Omaha last summer and knew all about the chemical preserving methods used by the big packing houses in preparing government beef.^^ ~
