LAS said.H continued Mr.. Weinkauf Il was
never well for six years. My head and nose
were constantly stopped up. My eyes were
weak and watery. There were roaring and
buzzing noises in my ears. 1 had dull, heavy
pain In my forehead. could feel the mucus
dropping back into my throat. My throat be-
came raw and inf1amed. l was constantly
hawking and raising. A dry, hacking cough
set in. Sharp pains would shoot through my
chest, extending as far as the shoulder blades.
My heart would palpitate rapidly. This would
be followed by q slow, irregular beating and a
feeling of dizziness. My nights be. anne rest

Copeland, under whose personal care / have

Mr.. Weinkauf can be seen at the above adj

Copeland and Blair
IN THE CASE OF Mr.. WEIKAUF.

"I cannot tell you the exact cause OF my
trouble, but it dates back over six years. and

and drifted to Black Tom, where he was
rescued by watchman for John H. Fin

The boy is at Police Headquarters, and
said his original parents were Richard
Fisher and his wife. Richard died and
his mother married Vogel, whom the
angel of death claimed soon afterward.
and then she tried her luck with Stetzel.
The venture proved fatal for her and she
died. and Stetzel replaced his loss with
the present wife.
Young Richard is an awful liar, the
police think, for he told them many tales.
This is his latest one, and probably the
correct one. He added that his father and
mother came from Stettin, North Ger.

DEALERS DETERMINED.
Secretary Wood, of the Manufacturers
Association, says that eighty per cent. of
the brick manufacturers will tonight at
twelve O'Clock stop all shipments to New
York. Brooklyn and Jersey City
New York dealers in brick and other
building materials seem to be divided in
opinion as to whether the manufacturers
will hold out Isaac K. Hoagland, one of
the committee appointed by the dealers
to mediate between the manufacturers
and the walking delegates, said:-"By
the first OF next week it will be possible
to tell how many of them mean busi-
ness. If few should break away from
the agreement and send in their brick it
would only tend to make matters worse.
Every one would be scrambling for what
little there was and prices would go up
very high.n When asked with which
party the dealers symDathized, Mr.. Hoag-
land said:-''The dealers sympathize with
themselves When once the price of
brick goes up then we shall see whether
the manufacturers will still withhold
their product or will rush it into the mar
ket to take advantage of the increase in
price"
Building Inspector Clarke said this
morning that there are now being erected
in this city 100 buildings, all of which
will be affected by the tie-up. Twenty
two of them are brick, and work on these
will probably be entirely stopped.

STABBED IN 7HE NECK.
A Woman's Serious Charge
Against Her Husband
Queer Judicial Work.

Thomas Clifford, OF Kearney avenue,
was recently released from Jail mainly
through the efforts of his wife. Last
night while she was preparing supper
Clifford, she says, without a
word or any prcvocation picked
up knife from the table and stabbed her
in the neck. The knife was an ordinary
table knife, blunt at the point, and it did
not penetrate her neck, but the edge in
sliding off cut her slightly.
She ran out of the house and Cliffor d
attempted to follow her. Her brother
was in the room and he grappled with
Clifford, but Clifford is man six feet in
height and he easily threw him off and
followed his wife.
A policeman passing seized Clifford
and took him to the Fourth pre-
cinct police station. Mrs. Clifford
applied to Justice Peloubet for q
warrant against her husband on
a charge of atrocious assault and battery.
Justice Peloubet issued the warrant and
sent it to the Fourth Precinct station.
where they promised to old Clifford.
When Clifford was arraigned before
Justice Aldridge, who is sitting Tor JUS
tice Wanser, he was committed for thirty
days on charge of d1sorderly
conduct, the warrant for atrocious
assault and battery being entirely ig-
nored. Justice Peloubet says he does
not understand such action.

MAGDALENA RIGHTED.


The Honeymoon Began in Cornfield
Before the Ceremony in Court.
Last night Constable Stewart Lourie
brought fellow named Alcheous Elch-
engar to the County Jail Elchengar
lives at Secaucus, and he was accused of
having committed an indecent assault on
Magdalena Hammlll, of that place. The
alleged assault was committed in corn
field in Secaucus.
This morning Magdalena called at the
jail, and conversed with the prisoner.
He said he was willing to marry her.
Magdalena then went to see Judge Aid
rich, who agreed to perform the cere-
mony. Elchengar was paroled in the
custody of policeman and duly united
to Magdalena in Judge Aldrich's court
room next to the County jail. He
was then brought back to jail where
he will remain If he fails to secure bail
until the day of his trial. He will prob
ably be released then, as the charge of in
decent assault will not hold, iuasmuch as
the law provides that wife cannot
testify against her husband. The mar
riage created quite a little stir among the
Court House lOunoerS.

JOHNNY GLOSS VACATION.

How He Took 1t at the Pennsylvania
Railroad Depot Yesterday.
A crowd of merry children thronged
one OF the platforms in the Pennsylvania
Railroad depot yesterday afternoon.
They were evidently from the poorer
walks of life, but all looked clean and
fresh, and had evidently been rugged out
in their BEST Little bundles wrapped in
paper of various kinds, with
an occasional satchel, suggested
that they were going into the
country for a little spree of
pleasure and recreation. Their faces
were wan and colorless, like flowers that
grow under the shadows, and the people
that looked on them seemed to share
with them the mirth they showed over
their approaching trip to green fields,
when wholesome air would paint the
for broad pastures that would give them
a new idea of freedom from that which
they had imbibed in the crowded tene-
ments from which they had come.
They had been gathered by one of the
fresh air societies, in New York, and
were on their way to a summer home,
for week of recreation and rolllcking
fun. They chatred and laughed and hop
ped about and played pranks on one
another, and were 80 merry that every
body felt glad with them.
Detective Johnny Clos was among those
who saw them. The sight reached the
tender little spot in his heart that he re-
serves for good little girls and boys. who
have all TOO little OF this worlds pleas
ures, and he could not restrain his
impulse to contribute his mite to their
happiness. Presently he was seen count
ing the heads of the gay throng. There
were just 200 of them. What could he do
with his limited means among such a
multitude? But he was bound to do
something for each, and he hauled from
his fob crisp ten dollar note that he had
carefully tucked away in anticipation of
his own vacation.
"I'm going to have my vacation today,
boys" he explained as he posted off for
the ticket agents window with the note.
There he had it broken up into 200 shin
ing nickels.
Big Pete Reen, they say, actually cried
with sympathy-'twas all he had to give
-as he said. Johnny distributed the coin,
one to each child in the throng, and the
happiness that the little gift brought to
each young heart.
