NEWARK, March %, 1s90.- rumor was
current yesterday that the leather house
OF j. H. Halsey & Smith, on Ogden street,
had been sold to the English syndicate
who have been negotiating for the pur-
chase of the leather industry in this city.
It was learned later, on mi-oficial
authority, that the patent leather manu-
facturers of this city. including the firms
of J f. Halsey Il Smith, q. A. Halsey &
Son and others, were in New York attend
inc a meeting of the prominent manufac-
turers in conjunction with Mr.. Bostrlck,
the representative of the English syndi-
cate, and who has so far carried on all
the negotiations in this city. 1t was also
stated that the original price asked by the
combined manufacturers has been re-
duced to d considerable extent. The only
matter to be settled by this meeting was
rs to the amount Of stock to be taken by
the present proprletors in the busiMess
and the'amount Of cash to be paid by the
syndicate to the owners.
1t is understood that the matter was
settled upon, but the exact amount could
not be learned last night. 1t Is also said
that Mr.. Bostrick cabled to England for
representatives Of the syndicate to come
over here and verify the statements made
by the leather manufacturers regarding
their business.
1t is probable that the matter will be
that the actual transfer of the business
will take place then. Whether it is q

GREEN GOODS MEN'SPULL
They Get Post office Boxes
in Hoboken and Are
Warned Of
Danger.

Until about two weeks ago green goods
men had pretty much their own way in
Hoboken. Although in some cities it is
very hard to hire box at the Post Office,
the green goods men had no trouble in
securing box in Hoboken.
One fellow hired box, styling
himself George f. Martin He engaged
box No. 24l. One day about two
weeks ago two Western jays reported to
Chief Donovan that they had been
swindled by the green goods men. The
Chief began an investigation and found
that Box No. "a, George E. Martin, was
the address to which the letters were
directed
The Postmaster, DR.. Kiel, was notified
and the box and its contents were con-
dscated at once. Since that time innum-
erable letters have been received at the
Postoffice and by Mayor Grassman and
Chief Donovan. but strange to say since
the 'ssQuealing'' of the two suckers"
nobody has called for the mail at the
Postoffice, which shows conclusively that
the green goods men are kept posted in
some way.
There is a recognized rule in the Post
Office that no stranger can hire box un-
less he has been identified by some well
known citizen. Postmaster Kiel states
that Box No. 241 was hired by a stranger
who was vouched for by a well known
politician, but who the well known poll
tician was he absolutely declined to

Union ain Horse Thieves.

The stable of John Dorshea on Palisade
avenue, Union Hill, was entered by
thieves last night and a horse and rig,
valued at $500 were stolen. This morning
August Dempf, a precocious youth of
fifteen years. informed Recorder Schlei-
cher that two of his pals, Edward
jain and John Haber were the thieves
and they had gone to Paterson with their
booty. The Paterson police were tele-
graphed, and said they had the youths in
Jail there While young Dempf was tell
ing his story to the Recorder, his father
came in and accused the lad of stealing
$50 from him.
The fathers story put different aspect
on the case. 1t appears that the three
boys had resolved themselves into gang
with the intention of plundering every
thing that came in their way, but that
Dempf was left behind and was mad
and squealed on his companions.
On his fathers complaint Dempf was
sent to the County Jail

FIRING ON A SALVADOR VILLAGE
Peculiar Conduct OF Gen. Barillas Jus,
Before Signing the Peace Treaty.

NEW YORK, August ga special to the
Herald from Sonsonase, Guatemala, August n,
says: Early this morning in face OF the armis-
tice agreed upon by Guatamela, Salvador and
Honduras and which was to end at 8 o'clock
today II peace arrangements we're not perfected,
the Guatemalan forces on the frontier shelled
position occupied by the Salvadorians at Ell
loco, IN Salvador, noar the border, thereby
AIDING another treacherous act to its score in
tne present war. At the time the Smelling of
II Coco was taking place Barillas had the
peace proposition submitted by Ezeta through
Miner and and other ministers In his hands,
and could not have been ignorant OF what was
passing on the frontier. as half hour after
ward he signed the peace treaty on the basis az
laid down by Ezeta. and which fact he caused
to be autographed to that functionary at once.
This breach of faith in firing upon a Saliva
dorian fertilization caused much indignation
among the representatives of Spain, Costa RIGA
and Nicaragua who, with Miner, guaranteed
the armistice. But Miner is accused OF laugh
ing over the news. Nor II II now probable that
Ezeta will demand naturalization for Guate-
mala's treachery.
The reasons gwen for Barllas signing the
peace treaty are-frst, he is q powerless man,
as his country is practically bankrupt; second,
because no fears the downfall Of his govern
ment. owing to interior revolutions, and third
because he desires the cotton loan Of o. 900 600
to be carried through in France.
Nobody Believes that if Barillas secures the
loan ho will long remain at peace with Sal
vador, but the latter country will lose no time,
though peace be proclaimed today, in putting
herself in shape for q future war with her more
powerful neichbor
