Jacob E. Postin, a lather by occupation,
residing at No. 202 Morris avenue, New
ark, reported at the Fourth precinct
station last evening that his wife Carrie
had been missing from home since Wed
nesday last. The woman, he says, is
slightly demented, and on Wednesday,
after he had departed for his work, she
packed up all the bedding and clothing
belonging to the family, and taking a girl
twelve years of age and ar infant scarcely
a year old with her, has not been seen
since. She left two children six and
eight years of age behind her. Mr.. Postin
is very much grieved at his wife's absence,
and is very anxious concerning her
safety.
Il Forced to Resign by Public Opinion.
Two or three weeks ago, the Newark
Sunday Call called attention to the fact
that Councilman Van Steenburgh, of that
city was interested in contracts given out
by that body. Public sentiment was ar
rayed against him strongly, and as a
result he rendered his resignation at the
Council meeting last evening, and 1t was
promptly accented.

| MYSTERY IN CAMDEN.
WAS GEORGE BRACKNEY KILLED,
OR DID HE DIE 4CCIDENIALLYf


His Body Found with Wounds on the
Head-A New Drive Along the
Passaic-A Married Woman Missing
in Newark-GeneraI State News.
The body of the man found drowned
Thursday, in the lower branch of Newton
Creek. on the line of the Camden, Glouces
ter and Mount Ephraim Railroad, near
the C~loyerdale Stock Farm, was identified
at the Morgue last night as Charles
Brackney, ST., sixty-seven years OF age,
who resided with his son, George w.
Brackney, No. 1014 Fernon street, Phila-
.delphia. The body was badly d~ecomposed
and was recognizable only by the cloth
George Brackney, with whom the de-
ceased lived, said that his father left him
at eleven O'Clock Monday morning to vislG
his eleven-year-old son, who was living on
informed his son that he had 50 to go on
the visit and required no more. On his
way to the depot he pawned his watcn
and chain, for which he received 81 more.
He saw his young son and rave MN
some money, but the exact amount is not
known. A little after four O'Clock he got
on board a West Jersey train for Camden.
He was seen in the cars by o friend, MIS-.
Stiles, examining q bunch of wild flowers
that he had gathered on the wayside nom
the farmhouse to the station. was
the last seen of him alive. To the boy at
Wenonah he said he would ride as far as
Gloucester City, where he would get oil
and visit his son, Charles Brackney, Jr., a
florist, who resides on Market street,
above Broadway. He did not reach TINS
place, and the sons are unable to account
for it, and the finding of the body SO far
away from q roadway leads them to the
belief that he had lost his way and wan
dered down the track of the Mt. Ephraim
Railroad to find a friend named John Al
lenbart, who ives near Mt. Ephra1m, ut
whose house he had been on q previous
occasion. They suspect that on his way
he had been foully dealt with near O little
bridge that spans a branch of the creek
above the Gloucester Water Works.
They base their theory upon the fact
that had he fallen overheard he would
have swan ashore, as he was an expert
swimmer. He was a temperance man,
surrounded with home comforts, of q
genial disposition and o constant member
of the Methodist Church. There was notht
ing in his demeanor on Monday to ind1-
cate that he contemplated suicide. When
the body was taken to the Morgue and
the clothing searched 81 was found.
Where the body was discovered is an out
of the way place about a mile from any
public road.
Coroner Henry, who has charge of the
case, made a superficial examination and
found two wounds on the back of the
head which might have been caused by q
blunt instrument or by coming in contact
with the abutmenU of a small foot bridge
where the body was found.

" You're n I.far!'

The Hawthorne Bulletin gives the
particulars OF an exciting scene which
occurred in the District Courtroom at
that place last Tuesday evening
Judge Curler was being cross exam
ined by Hon. z. Reddy in the case of
Bowler VS.. Curler. In answer TO Mr..
Reddy's questions the witness said he
had always treated Mr.. Bowler well /;
had not only instructed and advised
him, but had given him money and
material aid at different times. Mr..
Reddy said: Yes, YOU were like the
reptile who covers his unlucky victim
with slime and then swallows him."
District Attorney b. +. Curler, son
of the witness, angered at the inuendo
addressed to his father, said TO Reddy !:
" You're liar!" in low voice, audi
BILE only to Reddy and those sitting
near, but unheard by the Judge.
Mr.. Reddy became livid, but re-
strained himself from violence. He
addressed the Court:
Your Honor, this young man has
called me liar. Shall knock him
down ?" fs
Judge Rising-No. Mr. Curler, did
you call Mr.. Reddy liar?
Mr.. Cnrler nodded affirmatively.
Judge Rising then lectured the hot
tempered young man and fined him
$50 for contempt.

Miss Larson was made the victim OF
a cruel practical joke at Minneapolis,
MINI. where she attended a Hallow-
cen party and assisted in various
games. Finally, Miss Larson was told
to walk down stairs backward and
peer into a looking-g glass and see tile
face OF her future husband. She went
as directed and the company was
soon startled by shrek from the bot
tom OF the stairs. Going down, Miss
Larson was found in a swoon.
When she was brought to she was
ont OF her head and has since raved
constantly that she saw the face OF his
Satanic Majesty in the glass. Not one
of her friends will talk about the mat
ter, but it is supposed that some prac
tical joker is responsible for the act
which may cost the young lady hel
life.

A reporter was informed recently o
a remarkable example of sagacity
understanding and obedience in dog
The animal is what is called a shep-
herd dog, is 10 years old, was born in
Montana and cannot understand En-.

a Mexican.
This Mexican is now in the employ
Of Mr.. Schiappa Pietra as sheep
herder, and in his duties is ably as
sisted by his dog.
About week ago he laid the fol-
lowing extraordinary wager with one
of his employers. He bet his dog and
a years work against 800 that the
dog would stay on the ranch alone,
unattended by any being tor five days !;
that the animal would take the sheep
to pasture in the morning and bring
them to the corral at night, and in
fact look out for the sheep in every
way as well as a man could.
The bet was taken and the Mexican,
first hanging up plenty Of meat for the
dog TO eat, gave his instructions TO his
dumb assistant and left the ranch,
coming to town. Last Monday the
money was paid over by Mr.. Schiappa
Petra, the dog having carried out, for
five days, the instructions Of his mas
ter and winning the wager for him.

that they have not money enough to

Alcatraz Island, on the west coast
of Africa, is uninhabited, but has val
liable deposits OF guano. Two years
ago France thought it worth while to
take possession Of the island, and four
men we're set ashore there, by order
OF the Governor of Senagal to MAIN
tain the rights OF the French flag, and
provisioned for six months. Through
most remarkable carelessness the cir

the matter. A vessel was sent to the
island, but only the skeletons OF the
men were found. They had persisted

Strange, II rrue.

A most extraordinary coincidence
has been noted of late by an English
paper, the facts Of which, in brief, be-
ing as follows: On the 9th Of Decem-
Der, 1864, boat containing 81 pas
sengers, while crossing the river Seine,
was capsized and only one passenger
was saved, whose name was Hugh
Williams. In the year 1875, on the
very same day, another boat contain
ing about 90 persons was upset and
every person save one perished, and
his name was Hugh Williams. In
1880, August 5, a third boat met like
disaster. The number OF persons on
board, however, was only 25. but
singular to relate the whole OF them
were lost with the exception OF one,
and the name OF the survivor was
Hugh Williams.

tions that should the condition of
Amos, the son, become worse during
the day, a telegraphic dispatch should
be sent to him. Amos grew worse.
and the following dispatch was sent:
Amos quite i'll. Come home at
once"
The Brooklyn operator sent the dis
patch, which, when it reached New
York, read like this:
:" A mosquito i'll. Come home at
once"
The father received the message.
and, as he did not understand it, did
not go home. At night the father
made inquiries at home about the
meaning OF the message, when he
learned the mistake OF the operator.
lie determined to find out who was
responsible, and made a complaint to
the President Of the telegraph com
pany. The matter was Investigated
and volume Of correspondence was
the result. II was found that the
number OF words in the message de-
livered were counted the same by the |
two operators. The New York opera
tor said that he asked the BROOKLYN
man three times whether the first word |
was mosquito or not, and received an |
reply three times. The |
matter was settled by the discharge of |
