Says Her Brother Robbed Her.

A sad-faced woman, neatly clad in q
steel-colored dress, arrived in Plainfield
by the 4:20 train from New York yester-
day afternoon and wandered about in the
North avenue railroad station. Her ac-
tons led to the surmise that she was de-
mented, and as several ladies and children
became frightened at her gesticulations
and mutterings, she was placed in charge
of Chief of Police of Tunis j. Carey, who
furnished her with u private room under
the care of Mrs. Lynch at the police Sta
ton.
The woman's reason seems to have been
overthrown by many troubles, which at
lucid intervals she recounts pitifully, and
she is fatigued with travel. Her clothes
are marked with the private cipher of
some institution, and she continually cries
against the horrors OF 1.-The asylum" and
the cruelty of her brother, whom she says
has robbed her. She is very lady-like in
her tanners and seems to have been well
educated.
She claims to have taught school in
Germany, and has considerable to say of
ST. Louis. She has brown hair and is APP
parently forty-fve or fifty years of age.
She had u wrap on her arm and says that
she had a basket, which is missing. She
carries a silver watch and chain. Her
garments are all of good material and are
well made. She dates her arrival in this
country v~ariously, sometimes at last De-
cember and at other times at August.

A young man, apparently a stranger
giving the name of Elwood Nulock, APP
peared at Bordentown a short time ago.
and made love to Mrs. Hannah Bell, wife
of John Bell, who deserted her husband
several years ago. Preparations had been
made by the two to get married on the
evening of July 4. Refreshments had
been provided for the event.
The would-be groom had arranged that
on the afternoon of the Fouuth he was to
take his intended bride with several chill
dren to the Pennsylvania shore opposite
this city and spend the day, but as the
forenoon of thatday was some whatstormy
the arrangements were countermanded.
He had on the night of July 3 borrowed
a MISUNDERSTANDING gun to celebrate
the Fourth, and a silver watch of James
S. Smith, q colored man, residing near
where Mrs. Bell lived.
He left on the afternoon of the Fourth,
stating that he would go cunning for a
few hours and hen return and marry
Mrs. Bell, but since then nothing has been
heard of him. Mr.. Smith. who has been
a~nxiously awaiting his arrival, is out a
gun and a watch, and Mrs. Bell is out a
husband.

of an indecent and insulting character,

Postmaster Daniel II. Apologize was

Postmaster was robbing the mails.
Mr.. Apologize discovered that the person
who had written to him was a young maj

Several young ONE and girls of the
place have also received anonymous com-

unless they mend their ways they will be
exposed. Several have also been threat

Letters at Red Bank.
Paterson is much worked up over the
suspension of the well-known firm Oh SILK
manufacturers, Bamford Brothers. Inc
firm has sent out notices to the creditors
announcing that owing to the low prices
of silk the firm was unable to meet les
obligations, but that a statement would
be prepared for the creditors in a few
DAYS. The firm was considered as very
prosperous, and was well rated by the
various mercantile agencies.
The firm started in business in Paterson
a number of years ago in a small way
as many of the largest manufacturers
have done, themselves and their 1anlIleS
being employed in the mills. They seemed
TO be very prosperous, and III a SNORT LILLY
owned a capacious mill on CHh Stl9eu,
the rear abutting on Rip Van Wrinkle
avenue. -
The mill was enlarged some time ago
and an elegant residence with all moderH
improvements and luXur1eS erecteu.
Everybody supposed that the firm was IN
the height of prosperity. Nhe MINIS enl

The announcement of the suspension OF
the firm accordingly created a great deal
of surprise and was not believed until the
most positive assurances were received;

The witness Was prejudiced.

A very touching scene was witnessed in
the Criminal Court yesterday morning
when William Connolly, a poor lad aged
nineteen years, of South Amboy, was ar
raigned for sentence on a charge of Grim
inally a~ssaulting a Danish girl, The boys
counsel stated that the prisoner was in
toxicated on the evening of the occur
renee, and could not recall any circum-
stances relating to the charge, and en-
tered a plea of non vult.
The lads mother, an old lady, was in
court, and during the progress of the
hearing tainted and was carried from the
court room. Five witnesses, or young
would-be bloods of the dude stripe, were
called by the Prosecutor against the pris-
oner. The first one such assumed u tough
air in attitude and voice that he had
hardly commenced before Judge Cowen-
hoven told him to step down, as he
thought he knew too much.
Neither the plaintiff nor any of the
other four witnesses could swear that
Connolly was the man. The smart dude
was again called at the suggestion of the
Prosecutor and he swore point blank that
Connolly wa guilty, but finally admitted
that there was some enmity between
them.
Judge ~Cowenhoyen sentenced Connolly
to State Prison for three years at hard
labor and to pay the costs of the court.
AS the boy turned to go back to the jail
his poor old mother, who had recovered
from her faint, rushed forward and
clasped her arms about him and eXelaim-

"Oh, what will / dol''
The spectators were touched by the
spectacle. Mrs. Connolly was evidently
crazed by grief and would not be CON
soled. She swayed about in her agony

Points for win Makers.

An interesting opinion has been filed at
Tlenton in the case of Wilson p. Bell VS..
A%ntoinette Smalley, Hannah Z. Bell,
Amos S. Bell and others, relating to the
construction of a will. The following in
teresting legal points were decided
Where q will directs that in case a
mans wife shall survive him an annual
payment shall be made to her during her
widowhood, but shall cease at her mar
rage or death, if the man and wife are
divorced, so that when he dies the woman
who was his wife does not become his
widow, she will not be entitled to his
legacy.
Where a t~estator directs that the in
ferest of a sum of money shall be paid to
the son for life, and on the sons death
that the principal shall be divided among
his (the t~estator's) other surviving chill
dren and issue of any deceased child, the
first sons children are entitled to a share
of the principal.
