WOODS ABANDONED CHILDREN
WILL BE CARED FOR.

Recorder McDonough Says Some Sharp
Things About HOboken's Pound
keeper-A Fugitive Forger Who Was
Too Sharp for the Officers.
Thomas Wood was arrested yesterday
afternoon for neglecting his two children.
He lives at No. 65 Newark street. His
wife could not live with him, and sne is
employed as a servant at Weehawken.
They have three children. The two
eldest, both boys, aged respectively eleven
and nine years, he turned out of the house
on Wednesday night and told them to go
to their mother, who must provide for
them. The children spent the night and
yesterday at the police station. They will
probably be sent to the almshouse. Their
father, when arraigned before the Re-
corder, said he would not care for the
children unless his wife returned. She
positively refused. He wasinformed that
he must look after the little ones. He in
sisted tnat his wife must take them. The
Recorder sent the cruel father to jail in
default of bail for abandoning the two
bays.
Woods eldest son saved his father from
going to jail. He appeared this morning
and signifed his willingness to care for
two of the children, but not for Blooming
ton, the twelve-year-old, who he claimed
is incorrigible and a confirmed thief.
Bloomington was sent to Jail and an
effort will be made to have him COM
mitted to the Reform School.

The New York police say that Mrs.

From the evidence presented in court 1T
appeared that she came over here yester-
day with 1920 to buy saloon. She struck
up an acquaintance with Tryburg, an d
incidentally showed her money.
1t caught his heart at once, and he
wanted to marry her instanter. They
drank together, and in order to show his
wealth, Tryburg ordered drinks and gave
five dollar bills in payment, allowing Mrs.
Walker to take the change.
Finally. she started to leave the place,
whereuDon Tryburg. seeing the failure OF
his marrying scheme, ran afterher shout
ing that he had been robbed.
At Police Headquarters Mrs. Walker
was searched by Mrs. Her
mann, and a roll of s620,

that another railroad is seeking q right of

yesterday.
In reply to my enquiry for the name of
the road in whose interest he was work

Il cannot tell you, as that would proba-

a figure where it could not be touched,
prejudice the negotiation and lose me my

roads interested owns and controls SIX

"Oh, yes; they have an outlet over the
trunk lines, but wish to secure property
and terminus of their own.'
l next asked Mr.. Babcock if the price
offered by him was anything like $500, goo.
NO SIR" he replied. "No such offer
has been made. The price is too nigh" "
When l pointed out to Mr.. Babcock
that as the Curries knew they were in ne
gotiation with Western corporation the
naming of the road could have no disas-
trous effect on its successful termination,
he replied:-
"Oh, they do not know it. unless they
know it through Mr.. Chamberlain, and he
was distinctly cautioned to make nothing
known that transpired in my office"
Mr.. Babcock said the only other party
in interest who could disclose the name
of the corporation was now in England,
and that he was expected home in short
time
