ONE FAINTs, ONE FIGHTS.

The Ltveliest Kind of Time Caused In
Conrt by Two Convicted Women.
Sarah Mack and Mary Hagen were yes
terday convicted of stealing $50 from
Thomas Condor and were sentenced to
fifteen months at State Prison by Judge
Lippincott.
As soon as the sentence was pronounced
Mary Hagen jumped from her seat and
exclaimed as she raised her hands and
eyes heavenward, "pm innocent, SO help
me Heaven
Then noticing constable conveniently
at hand she tainted and fell in his arms
When Sarah Mack saw this it aroused
her ire and she made bee line for
Thomas Condor who was seated beside
the District Attorney. Mr.. Condor
evidently knows how to appreciate an
angry woman and he proceeded to get out
of her way as rapidly as the chairs and
tables and his PHYSICAL ability would en-
able him.
He was saved by court officer, who,
in very reckless manner, interrupted
the infuriated woman and exposed his
own physical beauty as a barrier
The entire court room was alive with
to the aid of the fainting Hagen and the
fiery Mack.
The court officer who held Miss Hagen
in his arms enjoyed the privilege too
much to permit interference, and the pug
nacious Sarah Mack succeeded in making
it generally understood that she took
water" from no one but the law officers.
Both women were locked up in the
County Jail.

A GREAT PARK SCHEME.

To Begin at Passaic Falls and Reach to
Somervi1le.
A few gentlemen, prominent among
whom is Mr.. E. p. Benedict, of the well
known firm of Benedict Brothers, of New
York, who is a resident of Montclair, are
agitating the subject of establishing
within the limits of this State magnifi-
cent park. The project contemplates a
park of such magnitude that, if it could
be established, would add greatly to the
celebrity of the entire State, and particu-
larly to this portion OF it.
The projectors plans are to take a
strip of land beginning near the Passaic
Falls at Paterson and to follow the crest
of the Orange Mountain to point near
Somerville. The entire length of the
park would be about forty miles. The
width OF it, it is thought. might vary ac-
cording to circumstances. It would be
desirable to have it one mile wide wher-
ever practicable, but where the land has
already been improved, and consequently
would cost a large sum, it could be nar-
rowed to little more than roadway
and foot path. Nor do they think it
necessary to follow rigidly the line Of the
mountain crest, but would have it do SO
il possible.
The possibilities such park would af-
form some idea Of Where in the world
would there be more wonderful drive
way? Where could be made more roman
tic and picturesque rambles? Lakes,
waterfalls, cascades, etc., could be con-
structed without number, and bridges
and short tunnels could be worked in as
means were placed in the hands of the
park managers.
AS to who would receive q benefit in
the event of the success of this plan, any
one can see at a glance Ii they would take
a map and cast their eye along the pro-
posed line. Every city and township Of
Essex county, Union county, ana por-
tipns of Morris, Passaic, Hudson, Mid
dlesex and Somerset counties would reap
d share in its beauty. and the advantages
that would grow out of it.
As to it's cost. no proper estimate can
be made until its exact lines are deter
mined, but the gentlemen think that it
would not be a serious burden, as such a
large section OF country would be bene-
fitted, and consequently would share the
expense

TO IMPROVE GREENWOOD LAKE.
Abram s. Hewitt Promises Baths, Boat
houses and Dancing Pavilion.

Abram S. Hewitt Promises Baths, Boat.
houses and Dancing Pavilion.
Special to the Jersey city Ne,os.
PATERSON, April IL, 1890. Among the
prominent changes at Greenwood Lake is
one which Abram S. Hewitt is talking
about making which he may not back out
of this time. 1t is said that he intends to
put up dancing pavilion, baths. boat
houses, etc., on the company's land on the
east side Of the lake between Cooper and
Sterling Forest and make big picnic
ground for the excursionists. The rail-
road company needs something of this
kind to keep up the excursion business
which has been growing heavier every
year. Will De Graw's boat is meeting
trains daily and carrying mails and passen-
gers to the head OF the lake, and all that
the hotel keepers and natives ask is that
the railroad company will op5n the ex-
cursion season and run express trains
earlier than they did last year. 1t was in
June before the company put on the sum-
mer schedule and it was asserted that
good business could have been done all
through May if the company had taken
interest enough in the matter to put on
morning and evening trains exclusively
for passengers. In winter the trains con-
sist of freight and passenger cars and go
at a snaiFs pace, arriving at the lake at
noon and starting back an hour and a
hrlf later. and that is the way they ran
for some time after the bass season opened
last wear.

The history of the young girl, Mary
McKee< who was found on Pacific avenue
night before last suffering with an epilep-
tic fit and broken wrist, is shrouded
somewhat in mystery. She was seen by a
JERSEY CITY NEWS reporter at the hospi-
tai last evening and stated that her father
Mr.. Augustus Mckee, drove her from his
home on Seventh street about year ago.
The trouble she said was caused by her
step-mother. Her own mother was
burned to death in house on Canal
street about three years ago. Since she
was driven from home she says she has
lived as servant at No. 16 Grand street.
There is no such number, nor can the
name of Augustus Mckee be found in
the city directory

MRS. BRIsroR's TANGLED PROPERTY


Law Suit Which Revives an Ugly New
ark Clerical Scandal.
Special to the jersey City Neus
PHILADELPHIA. April l2.-The courts
here are investigating an application by
the wife of the Rev. DR.. Bristor, formerly
of Newark, in reference TO property
transfer In 1879 Mrs Bristor lived with
a sister. a Mrs. Camp, who had dissolute
husband, and they two, with her mother.
were heirs to the property. They were
induced TO make deed 0f trust OF IT. it *,
their grandfather, to prevent Mr.. Camp
squandering his wife's share, with the
understanding that IL she wished to, she
could revoke the deed after 1t had accom-
plished the purpose. The three deeds
were executed at the same time. She
subsequently married the Rev. Mr.
Bristor, and to them were born four
children. When her husband was in the
midst of his difficulty at Spring Valley
Mrs. Bristor wanted to help him out
Then, for the first time, she discovered
how tightly her own property was tied up.
She found that the trust could not be set
aside because the deed had reserved to
her no power to revoke it. Besides that,
she had married and had children since
making the deed, which prevented her
from using any part of her estate except
the income. The question now is to pro-
tect the children's rights and give her
the property

night was devoid of excitement, as the
officers were practically elected at the
meeting of the club last month, as the
nominations were made at an open meet
ing No opposition was expected to the
regular ticket and there was none. Some
of the practical jokers declared that Ben
Van Dyke was candidate for chairman
of the committee, and few votes were
cast for him

Nominating Committee named the regu-

HER HUSBANDS HAMMER
1t Was Used by the Brute to
Fracture Her Skull
Thrice.
Special to the Jersev city Ns,os.

CAMDEN, April 12. 1sg0:--Matthias Boy
len, who sells cigars and stationery at
Atlantic avenue and Cumberland street,
came home after midnight and began to
abuse his wife, accusing her of being un-
faithful. She tried to pacify him. He
mad been drinking and threatened TO kill
her. She tried to get him to bed, when
he ran into the store, seized large ham
mer. rushed upon her and struck her a
powerful blow on the top Of her head,
sending her to her knees. Before she
more.
She was found unconscious by Mrs.
Ellen Lee, who occupies room in her
house. Mrs. Lee went across the street
to the house of Martin Cloran, Mrs. Boy
lens uncle, who followed her to the
house. He was Mortified at what he saw
The furniture, carpets and wall were
spattered with blood and the woman lay
in pool of blood from three ugly wounds
in her matted hair.
The hammer, covered with blood, was
lying by her head, and the husband sat
on chair apparently unconscious of
what had taken place. Mr.. Cloran left
the house and told Policeman Aughen-
baugh. They returned together and Boy
len was taken to jail.
DIR. William Bennett and DR.. Bowling
Benjamin found that the man had struck
the woman four times, and that the skull
was fractured in three places. The
woman recovered consciousness, and
about nine o'clock she sent for Harry
Bancroft, Justice of the Peace, and
made a deposition. She said that she
could give no reason for the assault:
Her husband had accused her of faults of
which she was innocent She could not
remember receiving more than one blow.
The Justice drew her will.
AT ten o'clock the two physicians per-
formed three trephining operations and
removed sixteen pieces of broken bone.
The operation was successful, and the
woman appeared rational; but the physi-
clans have slight hope for her recovery
from the wounds
At the Jail yesterday Boylen repeatedly
asked those in charge what he had done
to cause his arrest. He seemed to be en-
tirely unconscious of the affair.
