A Jersey City Man Charges Newark
"Doctors " with Having Swim
died Him.

Charles Smedes, of No. 1855 Eighth
street, Jersey City, was in Newark
yesterday searching for Prof. Damon
and Daniel w. Gladwin, the alleged
magnetic healers. He wanted to re-
cover $50 which he gave Gladwin at
the Park House last Monday. He
did not hear of the latter's arrest for
practising medicine without a diploma
until on his way to Jersey City that
day. He could not return until this
morning, and then the two wonder
workers could not be found. Smedes
heard of Damon from a Jersey City
woman who, he nov firmly believes,
was an agent of the professors.
He was suffering from kidney, spinal
and brain troubles, and when he pre-
sented himself one day last week
Damon looked at him for a few sec
onds, said "Ahem," and passed his
hands in a mysterious n over
and around his head.
Il can sure your malady," he then
knows his business could do the

Smedes next learned that $50 was

At the Park House, in Newark,
Smedes was informed by the clerk
that Damon and Gladwin were abb
sent. He went to Justice Otto with
the intention of swearing out a war
rant for their arrest, but at last deter
mined to make an effort to find the
couple at Jersey City or New York.
The Chicago Limited's Narrow Escape.
Shortly after six o'clock last night
there was a slight accident at the
Centre street depot in Newark of the
Pennsylvania Railroad which, but for
the timely action of the engineer of
one of the trains, might have been
serious.
The 6:O5 Lehigh Valley train had
depot, going to New York, when there
came laundering in the Chicago
Limited of the Pennsylvania.
The Lehigh train stopped at the
Centre street depot, and when the en-
gineer of the Chicago Limited thought
it was out of the way he started for
the same depot. There are a number
of curves on the track leading there,
and just before he got there he saw
the rear end Of the Lehigh still stand
ing in front of the depot. He at once
put down brakes, but before he could
stop they were on to the rear car.
Happily no one was hurt. The rear
end Of the coach was badly damaged
as well as the front end of the engine
that struck it, and travel was delayed
fifty minutes.
