DYING AMONG STRANGERS.
The Sad Fate of Boy Who Made His
Way into Hoboken From Hamburg

The Sad Fate of a Boy Who Made His
Way into Hoboken From Hamburg.
Among the passengers in a North Ger
man Lloyd steamer, from Hamburg, last
September, was Paul Horleth, German
lad. He told the Captain that he had
neither relatives nor money, and he beg.
ged the captain to allow MIN to work his
passage to America. where he expected to
meet friends in Hoboken. who would se-
cure him employment. The captain was
touched with pity for the unfortunate lad
and he gave him some light work to do to
wol k out his passage.
When the steamer arrived in Hoboken
the lad disembarked and started to look
for his friends. He searched high and low
but could not find them Then he looked
for employment, but was met on all sides
with rebuffs. Finally becoming desper-
ate he went to the steamship company's
Office and asked to be taken back TO Ger
many. His request was refused by the
steamship authorities and he wandered
into the Hoboken police station on Christ
mas night. He trled to make himself in
telligible to the sergant in charge. but
had scarcely spoken five words when he
tainted in front of the desk.
After he had been restored to conscious
ness he told his story through an inter-
prefer. Some food was brought to him.
and he deyoured it like an animal He
was allowed the freedom of the corridor,
and as his story had reached sympathetic
ears he was well taken care of.
This morning he was suddenly taken
i'll. The City Physician was called and
said that the bov was suffering from ex-
posure and want, ana advised his re-
inoyal to st. Mary's Hospital, where he

KILLED BY A TREE B0UGH.
The Simple-Minded Nan Who Lost
His Life in Lafayette Yesterday.


The mere announcement was made yes
terday that Samuel Barker had been
killed by the falling Of a limb of a tree on
Pacific avenue. The unfortunate acci-
dent occurred too late to give the details
of sad story
The victim was crushed to death in the
presence of his aged mother, who had
gone to warn him of his danger.
A second earlier and he would have
escaped She was within dozen feet of
him when the limb with crash dropped
and crushed him to the wall, causing in
Stant DEATH
His venerable mother barely escaped
injury, but dashed with such yigor as
her years permitted to his rescue. DR..
Lewis and several citizens went to her
aid when they found life was extinct, the
aged mother was assisted to her home
and the lifeless remains of her son being
carried in her wake.
The deceased and his mother lived with
Mrs. Humber, the sister of the un-
fortunate man, at No. 207 Pacific avenue.
He was feeble minded and mad been so
since infancy and had been watched as
carefully as babe for half a century, as
he had reached his fifty second year.
He was fond of doing chores about
the house and when the wind storm
began and the fragments of boughs and
limbs fell into the yard and on the side
walk, he went out and cleared them away.
The tall ailanthus which stood in front
of Justice Lowy's store was partially de-
cayed, and the top began to sway as II it
would collapse Mrs Humber observed her
brother on the sidewalk picking up the
leaves and casting them in the street and
her mother, who was down stairs,
to call him in. Mrs. Barker, who
is eighty-two years old. started and
was hurrying to lead her in, when the up
per limbs of the tree were torn from the
trunk and dropped on him.

TWO UNIONS WITHDRAW.
The Result Of the Controversy Be-
tween X. of L. and Trades Unions.

The Central Trades Assembly last
night labored under combined attack of
Christmas and LA Grippe" John Nc
Cam, of Eccentric Engineers No 5, pre-
sided.
The discussion of the night arose upon
the withdrawal from the Assembly of the
Building Trades Council and the Tin
and Sheet Iron Workers.
Richard j. Allen said that, as the Tin
and Sheet Iron Workers were among the
prime movers in the formation of the
present Trades Assembly, there must be
some sinister motive in their withdrawal
now
Secretary James A. Stuart explained
that the action of the TinSmithS and the
Building Trades Council was retail
atory measure taken on account of the
painters withdrawing for the winter sea-
son from the Builders body. James +.
Moran, who was prominent in both with
drawing organizations, had declared that
he would do all he could to break up the
Assembly There was a scheme to form
new central body being pushed by ex-
delegates to the Assembly, and the inten-
tion of the promoters was to keep out an
element they objected to in the present
central body. For some past time the
Building Trades Council had been trying
to get delegates from the bricklayers, ,plas
terers, hod carriers and other unions into
their body, and when the Assembly
started the Builders encouraged it in the
hope that it would succeed in accomplish
ing what they had failed to do. Now the
Building Trades Council proposed to
make fresh start in this direction alone.
Chairman McCann believed that though
the majority of the delegates present
might be Knights. if they put their
oh RI tf1 hax xx,ba ao1 rot n
the other organizations in the county to
work in harmony with them. The
Knights had recognized the good will of
the Typographical Union by supporting
THE JERSEY -CINY NEWS and had sent
work to its office.
Edwin Dickson aid that it was true
that bomb had been thrown into their
midst at the last meeting in the cigar
resolution of the Knights. But this
action should not discourage, and more
determined efforts should be made to
bring in the trades unions to balance up
the Assembly.
c. Hudson considered that there was no
bomb thrown, and, if it was, it was aimed
against those who would not stay in this
Assembly and help it.
Richard j. Allen said the records would
show that the Knights had always gone
half way. Whatever was done toward
the formation of a new body would be
watched, and if the tricksters got into It
and attempted to control it, means would
be taken to Illustrate their efforts. That
was the sentiment of honest labor in the
county.
Adam J. Zoller thought it would be
easier to put the Statue of Liberty back
into New York State again than to bring
the international Cigarmakers' Union
back into the Assembly. The Knights
OF Labor cigarmakers would gladly well
come the union back, but objected to
some of its leaders
Joseph Fullem, J.. Knerr and others
spoke on the question, which was finally
settled by accepting the designations of
the withdrawing bodies.

NO beer GARDEN THERE
Hoboken Fashions Protest
Against the Invasion
Of their E1ysium.

About week ago the property at the
corner of Tenth and Hudson streets, Ho-
boken, occupied by Charles Reiche, the
well known animal importer. as resi-
dence and menagerie, was sold at auc-
tion. The particulars of the sale were
published exclusively at the time in the
JERSEY CITY NEWS. The property was
bought by New York real estate specu-
lator, who it was said, was acting for
Siegfried Cronheim, proprietor OF Cron-
heim's Variety Theatre, on Hudson
street, Hoboken.
1t was stated that Mr. Cronheim would
secure lease and run concert garden
on the property.
When these facts became known, the
residents in the immediate vicinity rose
up in loud protest, and the first move
made towards the running of concert
garden will be met with vigorous
opposition.
RICH MEN PROTEST.
Hudson street, where the property IS
located, is the most fashionable part OF
Hoboken, and is the residing place for
Hoboken's most prominent and wealthy
citizens. Theopholus Butts, lives within
five doors of the contemplated concert
garden. He is q millionaire, and man or
considerable influence in real estate
matters. He is very pronounced in his
opposition to the concert gardan, and says
it would ruin the property surrounding
it.
He says he is satisfied, however, that
they will not attempt to run any snow
there He did not state what course he
would pursue if a concert garden was
opened there.
LAWYER Charles h. Cannon owns the
property directly opposite the site OF the
proposed concert garden.
Have you heard of the proposed con-
cert garden adjoining your residence, MT
Cannon?'' asked.
II have heard of it, he said; tand was
surprised. will say that / am heartily
opposed to the concert garden and will
fight it, and whoever intends to open it
as such will have very hard road to
travel [ have lived In Hudson street for
number of years and will certainly kick
at this"
''Will you state what your plans will
be, Mr.. Cannon?" / asked.
'sWell, if they insist on having a con-
cert garden there and such "a stipulation
was inserted in the sale of the property L
suppose we will have to let the matter
drop until it reaches the Council. When
the Council is petitioned for o. license
there will also be a very large petition
from the residents of the neighborhood. +"
Messrs. Waller and Pustkuchen also
own property in the neighborhood and
are very much exercised over what they
call an outrage.
Mr.. Tissot, the auctioneer, says he
does not know what will become of the
property.
CRONHEIM UNDECIDED.
Mr.. Cronheim when seen stated that
he had been negotiating for the lease of
were too high and he had not yet de-
cided to lease it.
