SALUTED BY A DEAD MAN.
Mayor Kelly of Weehawken Receives a
Genuine Surprise.

Mayor Kelly of Weehawlken Receives a
Genuine Surprise.
A more surprised individual than
Mayor Simon Kelly of Weehawken yes
terday would be hard to find.
About week ago one of the Mayors
subjects. Patrick Bonner. was taken ill,
and at the Mayors will removed to St.
Mary's Hospital in Hoboken. On Tues
day the Mayor was informed by telephone
from the hospital that his subject had
died, and the kind-hearted Mayor at once
telephoned to Coroner O'Hara to take
charge of the body and give it decent
burial and that he would bear the ex-
pense.
Mr.. O'Hara went to the hospital and
buried body yesterday. Yesterday af-
ternoon while the Mayor was standing at
the corner of Nineteenth street and Park
avenue he was dumbfounded to see the
man whom he thought he had buried ap-
preaching him.
Extending his hand to the Mayor the
supposed corpse said:-'I thank YOU very
much Mr.. Kelly for your kindness in
having me removed to the hospital"
"BuJ l thought you were dead and
buried" exclaimed the Mayor in great
surprise.
1t did not take Bonner long to prove,
however, that he was very much alive
and the mistake was soon discovered 1t
appears that poor fellow named Patrick
Brady had died in the hospital and had
received u decent burial at Mayor Kelly's
expense.
The Mayor blames the hospital authori-
ties for getting matters mixed, and says
he will not pay O'Hara for Brady's burial,
as he did not know the man. Undertaken
O'Hara says that he acted in good faith
on Mr.. Kelly's order, and that he will
hold him responsible for the burial ex-
penSeS.

His Foreman Says He Has Men at the
Hall of Records.
The Committee on New County Build
ing of the Board of Freeholders at their
meeting on Wednesday instructed Coun-
sellor McGrath to notify John A. Brown,
who has the contract of building
the new Hall of Records to have suffi-
cient number of men at work within five
days or the building would be completed
by another contractor. The hardness of
Brown has been a matter of much COM
ment, and no reason seemed apparent for
his neglect in finishing the job.
/ called at the Office of Mr.. Brown on
Willow avenue, Hoboken, this morning,
Mr.. Brown had gone to New York, but
his representative, Mr.. Crawford, in
formed me that there was an error in the
specifications for the new building which
caused the delay.
He also said that Mr.. Brown had or
aered sufficient force of men to go to
work on the building this morning.
AT the Court House this morning a
number of men were at work; but it
could not be said whether they were
Browns men or men who were at work
for Sub-cOntractOrS.

GRIPPE'S HIGH CARNIVAL
Still Casting the Shadow of Death
Over the City.

Those who were ongratulating them
selves that the attempt at a cold snap
which was made yesterday would do
much to break up the hold which the
grippe seems to have on the community
are doomed to disappointment
The murky, humid weather of today, it
is said by physicians, will do much to ac-
celerate the spread of the dread disease.
1t still commits its ravages in all parts of
the cities, and the list of It's victims con-
tinues to grow.
Undertaken Hughes had eight bodies
on ice last evening, most of whom died
from causes traceable to the grippe.
The City Hospital is overcrowded with
patients. Six extra cots have been
crowded into the wards and they are o:-
cupied. Only double tick remains and
that was thrown on the floor for manwho
was fatally crushed this afternoon.
Eleven patients were admitted yesterday,
and since the first day of the month GO
patients have been received, double the
usual number. The Grippe is the cause.
Two deaths occurred last night. Kate
Fallon q well known character, died of
pneumonia and alcoholism, and Eleanor
Nelson, of No. 1857 Coles street, died OF
general debility.
While Under Keeper Joseph Eltingham
and his daughter lay very i'll Of the
grippe at their home on Vroonl
street, his wife died of hearU fail
ure this morning at five o'clock. She
was a middle aged woman and leaves
four daughters and granddaughter.
The sad death at such time has
caused both Mr.. Birmingham and
his daughter to have q relapse
and they are dangerously sick. No ar
rangements have been made yet for the
funeral.
The wife of Saloon Keeper Frank Nc
Carty, corner of York and Warron streets,
who died of pneumonia a few days ago

morning by Undertaken Moran. The

An organized gang of pickpockets have
been plying their nefarious traffic very
successfully of late on the crowded boats
of the Hoboken Ferry Company.
Nearly all of the robberies thus far have
been committed on the New York side at
about six O'Clock in the evening, and
commuters on the d. L. and w. R.R. are
the victims.
There have been only two robberies re-
ported to Chief Donovan in Hoboken
Last night A. H. DegrofI, stock broker.
residing at Roseville Station, Newark, re-
worth $50, had been stolen. He offers a
reward of $25.
The number of robberies reported to the
police, however. do not furnish the num-
Der that have been committed. Several
individuals have lost valuables and have
not reported the loss.

The Handwriting the Same.

Detectives McNaughton and BILLY
Adams" of Inspector Byrnes's office,
New York. paid visit to Detective Joe
Francis this morning.
They called to show him four checks
that the gang of forgers had tried to pass
on the Lincoln and Columbia banks in
New York. The detectives were taken "a
the First and Second National banks
where the handwriting on their checks
was compared with the endorsements on
the checks presented to those hanks by
James Perkins alias Russell, who is now
in custody for trying to cash them,
The handwriting on all the checks was
evidently that of the same person, which
substantiates the theory that the same
gang was working the banks of both
cities.
