4 MYSTERIOUS ASSAULT
The Wife of a Well Known
Bergen Resident Waylaid.
FOLLOWED INFO THE WOODS
Details Are Refused at Her Home;
but the Police Have Been Asked
to Act.

nervous, excitable gentleman, OF
middle age, rushed in upon Police Captain
Newton, yesterday, to ask his aid in secur-
ing the arrest of gang of ruffians who
had committed brutal assault upon his
wife. After he had told the story he did
not want to leave his name with the good
natured captain, and was equally reluc-
tant to say where he lived, >.
The Captain pointed out to him how
utterly impossible it would be for him to
do anything in the premises without these
particulars, and the gentleman finally
made both name and residence known.
He proved to be gentleman of good
social standing, and man of family, liy-
ing on Vroom street on Bergen Heights.
The names were given to the reporter, but
for the sake of the family they are with
held.
A vILLAINoUs ASSAULT.
Tt is hard to tell from the disconnected
story of the complainant just what the
facts are. He was in SO great state of
excitement that his story was given only
in snatches. The substance of it was
that his wife, while going through a
was followed by some men, and when at
secluded point was surprised and as
saulted. How the lady happened to be so
far from her home and in SO exposed q
place after dark the husband did not
make clear, but it was understood that
the lady had finally escaped into Bayonne
and taken refuge at the police station in
that city for the night.
NEWS TO THE BAYONNE POLICE.
| called on the police there this morning
to CLEAN such particulars as they could
furnish. The Chief said that he had heard
of the adventure from my lips. So far as
he knew, no woman with any such story
on her lips bad passed the night in the po-
lice station.
When / called at the lady's house last
evening, / met the husband at the door.
He was greatly excited over the secret
having leaked out. and threatened prose-
cution if the matter was publicly venti-
lated. While denying in words that the
matter was anything more than q mere
assault, in which his wife was merely the
recipient of a few bruises about the face,
his very actions and manner convinced
criminal nature.
From his story, / inferred that the
woman was obliged to take refuge in the
Bayonne police station house over Satur-
day night, but said nothing about the as
sault until her return home.
A second call at the house today brought
the grown daughter of the victim of the
outrage to the door. She declined, how
ever, to say anything.
'Tell that man at the door," q voice
from an upper story called to her." that

The return of Mr.. J. d. Cook, the

parently was not a surprise. At least

Mr.. Cook remained at his house Sunday
night and left yesterday morning for
Brielle the home of his father. No one

conduct.
Mrs. Cook yesterday refused to say any,
thing about the matter, and Mr.. Cooks
clerk said he had not seen Mr.. Cook since
his return.

When asked if he had anything to say

moment, then laughed.

''Well," he said, finally, you fellows

The reporters didn't think it worth

THE CZAR WILL GO TO BERLIN.
1t Is Financial Move, Not an Evidence
of Cordially.
P,, HnbIe tn the limited PyeSs

of Cordially.
By Gable to the United Press
LONDON, August 13. 18S9-The simple
minded American reader who has caught
the echoes of the German alarmist press
and has become impressed with
the force of their reasoning, that
the failure of the Czar to visit
the German Emperor shows he wants
war, may innocently imagine, that now,
that it is definitely announced that this
visit is to come off these papers will drop
their sahguinary tone. Nothing could be
wider of the mark. His not coming, of
course, proved war, but his coming proves
war just the same.
The processes by which they demon
strate this proposition are quite ingenious
if not strictly logical, but with this Amer
lean readers have little concern. What
is important, however. is that these sheets
really express the convictions of large
and growing party in Germany who be-
lieve that war is at hand, and with whom,
furthermore, the wish is father to the
thought.
What is more significant than the
vaporings of the chronic war mongers is
the tone of the conservative press on the
Cars visit. 1t is clear that whatever
augury of peace and good will
such visit would have been
six months ago, even these influential
and conservative sheets derive little COM
fort from it now. 1t is pointed out that
every element of spontaneity is lacking,
and it is only too evident that the Gar
is coming to Berlin now because
M. de Giers insists upon it, and because
the Russian Financial Minister Vyshne-
gradsky finds his schemes blocked on
every bourse in Europe because of his
masters obstinacy in refusing to return
the German Emperor's visit.
That the Gar required much urging
and entreaty before he would consent to
the violence to his own feelings which the
visit involves, is no secret in Ber-
lin. When his famous ''only friend"
toast to the Prince of Montenegro,
recently had set all Europe in ferment,
and Russian securities were tumbling on
all the bourses, the Cars Finance Minis
ter, in sheer desperation, besought him TO
hasten to Berlin, and thus quiet the
alarm his ill-timed speech had created
At that time His Majesty answered in
Russian, and such Russian as drove the
frightened Minister, trembling, from his
angry masters presence. When all this
is well known in Germany 1t is not at all
strange that the coming visit should fail
to be accepted everywhere as q white
winged messenger of peace.
The presence of the Austrian Emperor
in the German capital today, of course,
gives the enthusiastic Berliners chance
to shout themselves hoarse, but it is de-
void of any real Significance. All are
looking forward to the Cars coming and
snaculntion as to the Or1tcOme is ramnant

THE RAT CATCHER CAUGHT.
AdOlp Pepper. the Dime Show Specialist
Hauled UP on an Old Charge.

Hauled up on an Old Charge.
"The original rat catcher of Hamlin" Is
in trouble. His name is Adolph Pepper
His great act on the stage is to allow
about one hundred rats to crawl over his
body and to kiss and caress him.
Two years ago, while performing at
Gautzbergs Theatre, Hoboken, he was
indicted along with three other ''profes-
sionals" named Ida Bohde, Robert Ascher
and /. Hultz, for conspiring to ruin the
business of their employer by sending
broadcast circulars containing statements
that were highly detrimental to the COM
plainant.
Ida Bohde, Robert Asher and l. Hultz
were arrested at the time and bailed, and
nothing has been done in their cases
since that time.
The unfortunate Pepper, with his wife
and all his rats, arrived at the Hoboken
ferry last night and was proceeding to
Status Pleus' Atlantic Gardens, corner
of Third and River streets, where he was
going to sing and dance and show his pet
rodents, when Policeman Stanton ar
rested him on the old charge, and lodged
him in the County Jail.
Pepper and his wife speak very little
English and are quite unaccustomed to
the ways of this country.
The unfortunate man will be bailed
during the day.

The Boy Didn't Steal the Pie, but He
Ate Some of 1t.

James Forrest, fourteen-year-old boy,
was arraigned before Justice Stilsing this
morning upon two charges of larceny.
Policeman Rickerich accused him of
stealing pies from Rich's restaurant on
Exchange place, and Frank Smith, of
Hudson street, said he stole papers from
his stand.
The police say he is a bad boy generally,
while his mother, who was in court, de-
clared that he was almost an angel. He
himself denied that he stole either the
pies or papers, but admitted that he ate
some of the pie.
Justice Stilsing held him in s25 bail on
each charge, and when his mother tear
fully declared she could not find bail, the
kind-hearted Justice said he would find
the necessary bonds.
