Miss Gilman Appears Against Him In
Justice Stilsing's Court.
The handsome figure of Miss Annie S.
Gilman, in gold brown silk, formed
strange contrast to the surrounding group
of old women in faded alpacas, with
prattling babies climbing over their laps.
who occupied the front seats of Justice
Wanser's court this morning.
Miss Gilman appeared to complain
against Hugh Shortell for maliciously
smashing costly fanlight in the saloon
located at No. III West Newark avenue,
which she says she had leased to Mr..
Shortell She also complained that the
place was becoming a rendezvous for dis
reputable women and was also a menace
to the health of the neighborhood.
The Justice instructed her to complain
to Health Inspector Benjamin.
1t appears that the property is in the
hands of receiver and Shortel has been
restrained by the courts from paying the
rent money to Miss Gilman, who still
demands it, and it is intimated that Miss
Gilman is seeking revenge. She recently
appeared against Shortell for violating
the Sunday liquor law, but the Grand
Jury failed to find an Indictment.

Duffey and John Morrissey were before
Justice Wanser this morning as disor
derly persons. They were arrested last
night for frequentlng the Old Rock tav-

become nuisance to the neighborhood,
and the authorities are determined to
abate the nuisance. The two women
were sent to Snake Hill for thirty days
and the men given a choice of $40 fine
apiece or thirty days.
Quite a difference in the disposition of
two women was manifested One cried
piteously. The other laughed and seemed
to treat the matter as a great joke, much
to the chagrin of one of the male prison
ers. who, when asked what he had to say,
glanced contemptuously at his hilarious
feminine companion, smole sickly smile,
and said:-"Nothing, Judge. It's no use
now"

116th street
He had heard her speak of visit she
made to Florida some time last fall with
a New York family. When she came back
from New York she went to live with the
Van Antwerps, where the acquaintance
was renewed and resulted in an engage
ment. IN reference to the recent pur-
ported robbery of Rosie's money which
she had been saving in a New York bank,
the disappointed groom said she had never
mentioned anything about her savings I'M
til about three days before the robbery
was reported. She had been talking OF
purchasing a millinery store, TO which
there was an ice cream saloon attached,
on Communipaw avenue, near Monticello,
at price of 1926. The announcement that
she had that much money saved up was
pleasant surprise to him. Both had been
boarding the past few days with Jacob
Uhl, who keeps shoe shop next door to
Sagner's saloon, Rosie staying every night
with Mrs Smith, near the corner of
State and Grand streets, who has several
respectable girls boarding with her.

with sleeping accommodations till after
the wedding. Rosie had frequently al
luded in a happy frame of mind to her
approaching nuptials. The dresses she
was having made were time and again
discussed and Mrs. Smiths Judgment was
sought as to the proper selection of trous-
seau. Rosie was absent Monday night.
When questioned by Mrs. Smith as to her
whereabouts she replied she had visited
her friend who was fixing up her dresses,
and, returning, found the door locked,
and was obliged to go back to her friend
and spend the night. This was satisfac-
tory to Mrs. Smith, whose invariable rule
is to lock the front door every night at ten
O'Clock Rosie dazzled Mrs. Smiths eyes
with the three fine dresses she had stolen
from Mrs. Van Antwerp's wardrobe, and
the unsuspecting Mrs. Smith advised the
prospective bride to be married in the
brown silk.
Detective Hottie, who was present last
night during the interview with Mrs.
Smith, was handed another bundle con-
tanning clothing which Rosie had left
there, the proprietress declaring she
wanted everything belonging to the mis-
Upon examination the bundle was found
to contain nothing but what was supposed
to belong to Rosie.
MR.. sAGNER'S NIECE.
Mr.. Leopold Sagner, at whose saloon
Hoffman first met Rosie, did not want to
say much about the matter. The girl was
niece of his. She had relatives living on
Ocean avenue, in Greenville, who would
be shocked TO learn what had occurred
He knew nothing of her career in New
York, except that she was living for
awhile with the family of Charlie
Younger, a third avenue horse car driver,
to whom she was dIstantly related.

a Spat in the Currie Case.

Commissioners appointed to condemn the
lands of the Currie estate for the New
York and Waverly Railroad was en-
livened by an animated legal spat be-
tween Corporation Counsel Edwards and
Mr.. Vredenburgh. who represents the
Pennsylvania Railroad
When the Commissioners were ready to
proceed Mr.. Edwards addressed them, and
requested that before the case was closed
city, so that if the city had any interest in
the matter it might be protected.
Mr. Vredenburgh objected and in
timated that Mr.. Edwards. in the guise
of the representative of the city, wanted
to get before the Commissioners In behalf
of some other interest.
Mr.. Edwards denied that he represented
the Curries or any one else except the city
Mr.. Vredenburgh said that the only inter
est the city had was in unpaid taxes, and
Mr.. Edwards knew very well that they
would be paid before title to the property
was passed.
"Do you cross some streets? asked Mr..
Edwards.
Mr.. Vredenburgh admitted that the
Mr.. Edwards. with a satisfied air, re-
marked that the city had lost property
enough through railroads and he proposed
to look after its interests in this case.
What l object to- said Mr.. Vreden-
burgh ''is coming here on one pretext for
the purpose of gaining another object"
THAT isn't so and you know it, Mr.
Vredenburgh, retorted Mr.. Edwards
with some warmth.
"Well, l know it is," muttered Mr.. Vre-
denburgh with positive shake of his
head. Before Mr.. Edwards could
make any reply Mr.. Carscal-
len, one of the commissioners, suggested
that valuable time was being wasted and
the Commissioners taking the hint
directed the testimony to go on.
Gustav Blau, a civil engineer, testified
that he surveyed route for railroad
over the property in question in 1878,
from the Newark and New York Rail-
road to the Point Breeze Ferry Company's 's
Improvement. sslssl4.4 -

Judgment best adapted for RAILROAD pur-
poses because it is the shortest route across

feet He also considered it worth s20NO00
more than any other route for O railroad
