PR0BS4 STILL LIVING.
The Young Webster Avenue
MatriCide May Recover.

Herman Probst, the young man
who killed his mother and then
tried to take his own life in their
apartments on Webster ave-
nue., last Wednesday morning. is still
lying very weak at the City Hospital. The
bullet has been extracted from his head,
but it is yet question whether he Will
live or die
He can only speak in a whisper on ac-
count of weakness. He will say nothing
in regard to the fatal shot, He told
Warden Osborne his age, and said he was
q helper in the employ of the American
Express Company. His half brother
visited him this morning
He told the Warden that the couple
were to have taken dinner at his house
yesterday. His wife also said that Her
man has had bad spells for three or four
years, and while under their influence his
lent and would make things in the neigh
borhood lively.
The letter written by the young matri-
eide before he fired the fatal shot shows
that brooding over his sickness had prob
bly, made him insane, and that he had had
the murder and suicide in contemplation
for three or four days before he COM
mitted them.
The body of the dead woman is lying at
Speer's Morgue, at the Bergen Junction.
1t will be inferred tomorrow at the eX-
pense of her family, though the arrange
ments for the funeral have not yet been
completed.
An inquest will be ordered If the son re-
covers and not if he dies. Coroner

HOBOKEN WAS NOISY.
The Boys Got Fire Crackers Despite
Mayor Grassmann.

The Boys Got Fire Crackers Despite
Mayor Grassmann.
Although Mayor Grassmann prohibited
the firing off of pistols, fire crackers and
cannons, and to enforce his orders the po-
lice prohibited the sale of them, yet the
small boys, and the big boys, too, let off
lust as many as usual. If the truth be
told, there was more noise yesterday than
there has been on any Fourth in the men,
ory of the oldest Hobokenite. On Wed
nesday night the fun began, and it was
kept up until this morning.
The decorations were profuse all over
the CITY, some houses being splendidly V
illuminated and decked with flags and
bunting Along Washington and Hud-
son streets the Stars and Stripes hung
from every window, and at nearly every
door were children, grimy with gunpow
der, hard at work with huge mortarS and
other kinds of heavy artillery.
Very few arrests were made, and the
amount of drunkenness was very small
indeed A vast number of people came
over from New York and took up their
position on the river walk, where they sat
and watched the various craft on the river
all day. Away from the din, and famed
by nice cool breeze, the visitors enjoyed
themselves, and when the rain came down
they had only few steps to go to get un-
der cover.
h Sports were completely out of the
question after the heavy rains and the Y.
NJ. c. A. games and the ball match be.
tween two rival lodges of the Knights of
Pythas had to be postponed. Yachting
and boating, however, was not in, erfered
with The boys are like ducks and ap-
preciate water as much as the sun, and
turned out in large numbers yesterday.

Some of the boat clubs visited brother
clubs on the Harlem and on Staten
Island, while others went up the Hudson
for spin.
Large numbers left the city for Union
Hill and Gutenberg and at night the
dancing pavilions on Jersey City Heights
had many visitors from Hoboken. 10
many people the storm seemed heaven
sent blessing, as it stopped the fizZ ana
bang of the fire cracker. The suppressed
energy worked itself off, however, as
soon as the rain ceased, and Hoboken
smelt like q battlefield
Only one accident is reported, but sew
eral happened. Several hands have been
charged with burnt powder and scorched,
and others were nearly blown off. A boy
on Garden street had an enormous
cracker which he covered with bricks,
stones and dirt before he lighted it. He
did not bargain for the consequences. The
stones went flying in every direction, and
broke several panes of glass in the front
of his fathers house, but paid the same
attention to several neighbors. The boy
spent most of the glorious Fourth in bed
meditating on the explosive power of
ordinary gunpowder.

NOISY YOUNG PATRIOTS.
The Observance of Inde-
pendenCe Day in This
City and It's Vicinity.
BUT ONE SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Milton Gould Hurt by Toy Cannon.
There We're Few Fires.

The observance of the Fourth through
out the city yesterday was general,
though far more quiet than it has been in
former years. The decorations both in
the lower part of the city and on the
Heights were unusually brilliant and at
tractive.
The small boy was out in force with his
cannon and firecrackers, but before he
had begun to thoroughly enjoy himself;
the rain dampened his ammunition II not
his patriotism and enthusiasm,
Toward evening when the storm had
ceased the enthusiastic young patriots
reappeared and the din and ricket broke
forth with renewed vigor.
AS the various excursions which had
left the city in the morning returned, the
streets became more lively.
The residents of the Heights surpassed
their fellow citizens of the. lower
part of the city in their celebration.
There were more noise and more bunting
displayed there and the fireworks exhibi-
tions in the evening were more brilliant
and extensive.

TIED AT TWO RUNS EACH

The Coronas and Amacitias Play an Err
rorless Thirteen Inning Game.
A remarkable game between the Anna
citias and Coronas occurred yesterday at
Corona. Not an error was made on either
side and the contest resulted in tie at
the end of thirteen innings. Each team
only scored twice, the Coronas making
their pair of runs In their first inning on
singles by Taggart and Williams and a
double by Welsh. The Amacitias were
shut out. There were no more runs made
till the seventh inning, when Steinbruck,
for the Amacitias, made home run,
driving the ball over the fence amid great
applause. In the ninth inning Matt Cor
bliss, formerly of the Stocktons of this
city, batted the ball left handed over the
right fielder's head for two bags. He got
third on a wild pitch and scored while
the ball was being passed slowly from
catcher to pitcher, amid great applause
In the thirteenth inning, with one man
out and CorbliSs ON third, the rain came
down, putting a stop to the game.
The two clubs will meet again at
Amacitia next Saturday to decide the
championship. AS these two towns are
close together the teams always play for
blood. The playing of Casey at second
base and Corbliss at short for the
Amacitias was excellent. Walsh, an
amateur pitcher from Woodbridge, did
splendid work in the box for Corona
The feature of the game was a wonderful
one-hand catch by Smith, of the
Amacitias, of o ball knocked out to q
ditch. His feat evoked great applause.
