ELIZABETH, July 81. 1s9O.-The heirs of
Mrs. Martha Ann Bogert. who died a
month ago, have been surprised by the
discovery of her hidden wealth. Mrs.
Bogert was believed to be in needy cir
cumstances during the latter years of her
life. and her sisters frequently gave her
financial assistance. In an old-fashioned
valise and number Of tobacco bags have
been found rolls of bank bills amounting
to 1000.
Several days ago the satchel and money
disappeared, and. as the woman's hus-
band, John Bogert, is also missing, it is
believed that he has taken them and gone
to the far West to live with her brother.
No will has been found. and the old wom-
an made no provision for the disposal
of her estate. John Bogert was her sec
ond husband. 1t Is said that Mrs Bo-
CERT was so miserly that she would split
large lucifer matches, making one match
do for use two or three times.

Head.

Patrick Stack is a young tough who
lives in New York, but spends most of
his time, when not in jail. III the Fourth
some ability and is continually giving
the police trouble. A little over year
ago he broke Policeman Kerrigan's leg in
scuf1e, while the policeman was trying
to arrest him.
Lately Paddy has been employed bv
the poundkeeper in catching stray dogs,
goats and other animals. This morning
Paddy started out on his mission bright
and early. He must have had couple OF
balls" as about nine O'Clock he was
pretty full. AT The corner of Grove and
Newark streets Paddy spied goat and
started to kidnap it. the goat was owned
by q widow, who saw Paddy's lively
move. Paddy failed to catch the goat
AS he was about to grab the animal by
the horns, the widowed lady hit him with
a stick. Paddy then turned his attention
to the owner OF the goat anG there was a
wordy warfare and finally clinch.
At this interesting juncture Policeman
Eckhardt, the latest addition to the police
force, happened along. When Paddy
saw the policeman he at once stopped
the hostilities with his antagonist aud
made for the policeman. But Paddy
had struck a Tartar. The policeman,
knowing the character of the fellow,
pulled his club and by a we'll
directed blow laid open Paddy's scalp.
He then grabbed the young tough by
the collar and dragged him to the police
station. Paddy fought every inch of the
ground, but the policeman unaided land
ed him in the station house. His face and
clothing were covered with blood. In a
staggering tone he gave his name and
address.
DIR. Heller was summoned and dressed
his wounds, which were quite serious.
Paddy will probably go to the County
Jail this afternoon.

and crackers and an endless variety of
bread, wedding and ornamental cakes are
used in its construction. In the background
tall pyramid of boxes, with glass fronts
and filled with over 1000 different varieties
of cakes and crackers, towers gracefully
toward the ceiling. Across the front, about
half way up, is the word MARVIN" made of
crackers. A counter, surmounted BY tasty
brass railing, surrounds the pyramid,
and on the counter are arranged show cases
filled with plain, ornamental and wedding

SPECIAL WEATHER BULLETIN.
A Decided Fall In the Temperature of the
Northwest.
PARED FOR THE DISPATCH, l

rPREPARED FOR THE DIsPATCH.I
The northwest storm that formed in Mon
tana developed very rapidly, the center moving
to the Dakotas yesterday, with a sub-center
over Colorado, baromic trough connecting
both. To the west and northwest of the GEN.
ters there was a very steep pressure gradient
ranging between 1880 inches at Bismarck,
OAK, and 1922 inches at Helena, Mont, the
high pressure just reaching the latter place.
The variation gave an increased velocity to the
winds throughout the Northwest and they
will be high to-day over the lakes, where the
storm is expected to be more severe than 1t was
over the interior States. The rain area ex-
tended over the Northwest States and upper
lakes Showers also fell in the lower lake re-
gion, the Ohio Valley and the middle Atlantic
and New England States. Elsewhere the
weather was fair. 1t remained warm in all the
States east of the Mississippi, with an abnor-
NAL percentage of humidity. The high pres
sure in the Northwest was attended by de-
cided fall in the temperature. At helena 1t
was only 40 above freezing The cool wave will
move east, and will be felt in the States of the
upper Mississippi and Missouri valleys to-day.
Frost will probably occur in those districts,
and as far south as Colorado. In New York 1t
was showery and very sultry. The average hu-
midity was 81 per cent. The wind shifted from
south to northwest about noon, when the Gov
ernment temperature stood at $50. By2P. M.
it had dropped to 76o, and continued to fall
slowly. Showers accompanied the shift of
wind.

WANTS THEM ON RECORD,
Manager Morton Has Little Scheme Re.
garding the AmaIgamation Question.

BALTIMORE, September 6-Manager Nor
ton. of the Toledo club. has adopted a plan by
which he expects to put all the club officers in
the American Baseball Association suuarely
upon record as to their position on the Brother
hood amalgamation question. He has sent out
letters to the various presid ents and managers,
requesting their signatures to paper calling
for a special meeting of the Association in
Louisville when the Eastern clubs take their
next trip West.
The Sun has the following anent amalgama-
ton: "0ne element in the American Associa-
ton. composed of the Toledo, Baltimore, Co.
lumbus, Syracuse and Rochester clubs, has be-
come suspicious of Louisville, St Louis and
the Athletics, as it is believed that Phelps Won
der Abe and Whitaker have some scheme on
foot contemplating treachery. Morton and
Barnie have discovered that President Phelps
was absent from Louisville when the recent
Brotherhood conference was said to have been
held in PHILADELPHIA, and other things have led
them to believe that Association men have
been comforting with the Players League repre-
sentatives. Won der Abe, it is supposed, wants
some of his old players back and Whitaker
may be looking to a consolidation of the Phila-
deipha Players and Athletic teams, but it is
not known what Mr.. Phelps wants, unless ii be
the Brotherhood Presidency"
