The Robbery IN the Horse Car-The
Police Deceived by "a Careless In.
vsstfgatfon-Other Local Matters
The story of that robbery of woman
in horse car" said Chief of Police Muir
ply last evening, sis probably swell.
The story of the robbery was furnished by
man named William S. Cerrin, who said
he lived at No. 434 Jersey Avenue. We
have ascertained that no. one of that name
lives at that number"
6 But, said Sergeant White later in the
evening, ssthe mans name is in the direc-
tory, and have no idea he's SWELL"
The TATTLER sent one of its ubiquitous
to the number in Jersey Avenue last even
ing. 1t is neat brick house. Mr.. Ger
rim lived there, He said that the story was
true. He was riding in car No. Is of
the Greenville line, on her midnight trip
down. handsome, middle-aged woman,
elegantly dressed, sat in the car. She was
under the influence of liquor, or of drug.
Two men in the car, with their hats drawn
down, believing Cerrin 10 be asleep, edged
up to the woman and relieved her Of a
handsome gold watch. The men left at
Warren street. The woman, it is judged
from information since received, left at
Washington street.
The car was in charge of conductor
named Wheatley. After Cerrin had re-
ported the robbery Police Sergeant White
started after it. 'sTho conductor" he
said, last evening, Seemed disincli1ed to
haul up for me. After had jumped on,
he was half dumb, and had to talk pretty
sharply before could get the least bit of
satisfaction out of him. He acted very
strangely indeed. If he had been in collu-
sion with the thieves he could not have
acted more SO"
White subsequently sent an officer to
look after the woman. The policeman
hunted high and low, looking in at every
hotel and barroom, but couldn't get any
tidings of her. Up to midnight no one
had reported the loss of a watch.

JOKES LEAVES HIS WEE.
And She And Dir. Hurley IRE Forced

And She And Mr. Hurley nre Forced
to Change their Boarding Place.
During Monday and Tuesday of last
week negotiations were going on between
Jobes, the rich Englishman who traced the
wife of his boyhood to the home Of Mr..
Hurley on West Side Avenue, and Hurley,
for settlement of their martial difficulties.
Hurley and his wife were not keeping
house, as the TATTLER of last Sunday
stated, on West Side Avenue. They were
boarding there with a friend. Last Wednes-
day Jobes demanded of Hurley the name
of the minister by whom he had been mar
ried to Maggie. He refused to furnish it,
and Maggie finally confessed that no cere-
mony had been performed between them.
That left her free to accompany Jobes /;
but when he learned of her dishonor, he
discarded her as one unworthy of his atfec-
ton. He threatened at first to prosecute
but afterwards changed his mind, and
later in the week went to New York with
the avowed design ofreturning to England.
The parties in whose house the guilty
couple were stopping refused to harbor
them longer, and they have changed their
place of residence to the lower part of
Jersey City, it is said. Jones will, it is
said, bring suit against the woman for
divorce.

1900 INCREASE


The manager of the SUNDAY TATTLER ex-
pected last Sunday an increased demand
for the paper, in consequence of the re-
duction in its price; but the run on it
exceeded all expectations. We put 1850
extra papers on the press last week. But
when we made our deliveries to the news
dealers between 2;30 and O'Clock last Sun
day morning, it was apparent to us that we
had not enough to go around. Orders
from every source showed increases we
had not anticipated. Many boys were
turned away from the Office unsuppied.
BY nine o'clock there was scarcely a copy
of the paper on any stand in the city.
Several of the newsdealers sent to the Of
flee for fresh supplies, but were obliged to
leave without them, and all the morning
the office was beseiged by citizens anxious
to get paper This morning we put on
an additional 1900 on the press. That runs
the edition to nearly 5000. This may be
enough to meet the demands to-day, but
the orders of several of the newsdealers
which have been already handed in show
such large increases that we fear we may be
short again. However, we shall find out
gradually just what the demand for the
paper is, and meet It eventually Mean
while We propose to 60 it moderately. We
wish to say however, to those desiring the
TATTLER that the best and safest way to
get 1t is to order your newsletter to leave
it at your house for you. Then you don't
run the chance Of being disappointed
when you go to stand to buy it. Almost
every man who goes to stand to buy his
Sunday morning newspaper takes Sun
DAY TATTLEA along with him; and the
stand supply is soon exhausted. We would
ask the newsdealers to send in their orders
hereafter as early Saturdays as possible

RecOrds-The New Admin ration.
New YORK, March There was not an
immense audience in the Madison Square
Garden when the six day go-as-you- please
roller skating match came to a close to-
night. The increase in the price of the
general admission to one dollar did not
augment the gate receipts to any alarming
extent. The lowest man in the race, al
though he had covered his 800 miles, was
Meyer. Indeed he looked as fresh as when
he started out.
Donovan, the winner, and the leader al
most from the start, was pretty badly
broken up, and Schoek's system was COM
pletely shattered.
