RESTORING HARMONY.
Both the Fifth District Republican
Clubs DfseOuntemnnced.

81 OAHAU~
The SUNDAY TArTLER made public, some
months ago, the story of the contest for the
supremacy in the Fifth District Republican
Club, between the Cole-Van Ripper faction
and the Cramer- Douglas faction. Van
Ripper, in the interest of Coles nomination
for the Assembly, called meeting for
Thursday, January 8, but failed to designate
the hour. The other side claimed that by
the constitution the annual meeting was
fixed for the second W ednesday in January.
Coles friends met on the designated Thurs
day and elected Ben Van Ripper president.
The other side met on the succeeding
Wednesday and elected William P. Doug
las president. Then the question as to
which organization was legal was referred
to the Republican County Committee.
They took testimony Friday night. Van
Ripper claimed that, though at the start,
Wednesday had been fixed by the con-
stitution for the annual meeting, it had by
amendment been changed to Thursday.
Van Ripper claims to have written "Thurs-
day" over Wednesday IN pencil in the
written constitution. When the manu-
script document was produced by City
Marshal Cramer the pencil marks were not
to be found. Van Ripper claimed they had
been rubbed out. Counselor Douglas con-
tended that Van Riper's call for the meet
ing was made too soon before the meeting !;
that the failure to fix the hour made it
valueless, and that he waited at Art League
Hall, when it was to be held, at the usual
hour for evening meetings, and did not see
soul 60 in. The County Committee de-
cided to ignore both organizations, and in
the interest of harnony recommended a
reorganization of the Club. 3tf ~ ih q

WAS IT 4 CONSPIRACY ?
How Mary Debes Got Away with
Surber's Possessions.


How Mary Debes Got Away with
Surber's Possessions.
About three months ago Mary Debes,
who had been to this country before, ar
rived in Hoboken with German named
Lang, to whom she seemed very much at
tached. 1t looked as if a marriage would
be the result of the attachment, but, after
having lived with Lang for several weeks,
Mary discovered that he was already a
married man. When she made this dis
coyery she seemed very anxious to secure
the arrest of her recreant lover, but,
whether Intentionally or otherwise on her
part, Lang escaped the grasp of the law.
In the meantime Mary had met Henry
Surber, an employee at the car stables of
the North Hudson Railway, for whom she
Immediately set her cap Henry is
sober, industrious and frugal RAN, and by
dint of economy had managed to accumu-
late little furniture and small bank ac-
count. He took fancy to Mary, and
after brief courtship the couple were
married by Justice VIM. F. Rusch, on Feb
ruary 18th. Everything moved along
smoothly with the newly-married couple
until March 4th, when, upon returning
from his hard days labor, what was
Henry's dismay to find that his home not
only had been deserted by his frau, but
HIS apartments had been stripped of every
yestige of his hard-earned- possessions,
and the money which he had saved-about
$125-he had also been robbed Of
She was seen subsequently in Lang's
company, and no tidings of her have yet
been got. It is suspected that the mar
riage to surber was the result of con-
spiracy between her and Lang to rob the
stableman. The police have been mott
fed, but she is still at large.
