tary of the Navy has approved the re-
port Of the board of officers appointed to

THE HEADLESS SKELETON.
That Probably of Very Small In
fant---NO Clues Furnished.

The unearthing of the headless skele-
ton of a small female child by three
Italians while digging an excavation at
No. 147 Jackson avenue for Edwin Foote,
of the real estate firm of Foye & Co., has
created considerable amount of curios-
ity among the citizens of that immediate
vicinity. The adjacent property is
solidly built up on both sides of the ave-
nue.. The spot where the bones
were dng from is just in the
rear of where stood little frame
building used by Mr. Foote as branch
office for the transaction of real estate
business
Recently Mr.. Foote had the building
set back some distance from the street,
with the view to erecting a larger build
ing to face Immediately upon the thor
oughfare. The bones were found while
digging beneath the building, where it at
present stands. During the operations at
present going on, the vacant lot is shut
off from the street by tall board fence.
The Italians were engaged removing the
dirt and filing in some low ground on
Arlington avenue They did not observe
the appearance of the bones till som e of
them had been Carted thither.
This, perhaps, accounts for the nom
appearance of the skull. The other por-
tions of the skeleton were all found, but
were disconnected, and their condition is
such as to indicate long ago burial.
Remnants of a calico dress were also
found, but the size of portion of the
indicates the dress of very small infant.
Mr.. Foote has occupied the build
ing for about eight years. He
had retired when the reporter called at
his residence last night to see if he had
any theory to advance concerning the
strange discovery. Residents of the
neighborhood can recall no mysterious
disappearance of child within the past
dozen years or so.
County Physician Converse inspected
the bones at the Danforth avenue station
house last night and carried them home
with him to make further inspection.
He had no theory to advance He simply
knew they were those of female child.
The police are investigating the matter.

WHERE Is HERMAN GROB?

Missing from His Pretty Store-An AL
legged Woman in the Case.
The stove and tinware store of Herman
Grob. at No. 347 Grove street. is closed
today. A number of creditors are
looking for Mr.. Grob, and all
manner of soandalous stories are
being circulated in the neighborhood
One of these stories is to the effect that
Grob has eloped. to Florida with mar
ried woman, another that he has gone to
parts unknown to escape one.
The store is located in q substantial
frame building near the Scottish-Ameri-
can Club rooms. Reed Il Burns, the
owners Of the building, recently fitted
up the building for Grob's especial
benefit. 1t was supposed he was doing q
profitable business. He had two journey
men and an apprentice employed.
Yesterday Mr.. Grob failed TO material
ize. So far as can be ascertained Mr..
Grob does not own in his own name the
stock on hand. The two nickIe-plated
heaters in the much lettered windows be-
long to firm who put them there as an
advertisement.
Mr.. Grob lives with his aged
mother at No. 247 Fifth street.
The building is a large fiat
He was seen in the company of woman
at the corner of Fifth and Grove streets
Thursday night. The woman was treat
ing him TO a lively rating.
AT Grob's apartments the lone mother
is well nigh distracted. Grob has many
friends in the neighborhood, but all are
reticent concerning his peculiar conduct.

| ROAD BOMBSHELL.
An Application to Certior-
ari the Franchise Grant
ed by the Aldermen.

Chancery chambers were crowded this
afternoon with people interested for or
against the new elevated railroad from
avenue and the extension of the elevated
road Of the North Hudson County rail-
way.
Allan L. McDermott represented the
Central Transit Company, and James
Flemming was present in the interest of
the property owners on Jewett avenue,
who have so long opposed the building OF
the road through that thoroughfare.
Engineer Harrison was also present with
a map showing the route of the road.
The North Hudson road was represent
ed by the Messrs Besson, of Hoboken.
The lawyers were present for the pur-
pose of having commissioners appointed
to condemn the portion of the routes
which the roads have been una bic to ac-
quire.
1t was after two o'clock when Justice
Mr. Rosenberg. representing Vredenberg
and Garretson, counsel for some
of the Jewett avenue property own
ers, opened the proceedings with
bombsheu which threw CONSERVATION
into the camp Of the Central Transit
Company. 1t was petition TOR writ
of certiorari to remove the ordinance
of the Aldermen granting the
road right of way on the
ground that the law under which
the ordi nance was granted, no railway
had horse railroad company in exist
ence at the time the law was enacted has
the right under its provisions to build an
elevated road.
Judge Dixon suggested that the rights
OF all parties would be best protected if
he denied the present application,
and appointed the Commissioners,
and then permitted the property
owners to certiorari the appointment of
the commissioners. This suggestion
was acted upon and Mr.. McDermott then
formally presented his petition for the
appointment of the commissioners.
Mr.. Gilbert Collins, as spokesman for
Judge Douglass, Mr.. Fleming and Mr..
Van Buskirk, the counsel Of various
property owners, said that he wishes
to present the same objections
urged by Mr.. Rosenberg in his applica-
ton for certiorari. AS the Judge had
already disposed of those questions, moth
ing remained but the appointment of the
commi ssioners.
