OFF WITH A HOSTLER'
Mrs. Van Haus' Elopement the
Sensation of the Day.
LONG BRANCH IN ABATEMENT.
Strange Infatuation of Society Woman
for Worthless Youth.

ISlessed With Wealth, Children and all
ferred to Leave Her Husband - Her
Charmer Ignorant and Not Even Good
lookinG--The Husband Frustrated.
LONG BRANCH, N. j., Sep. 26.-Mrs
Lorenzo H. Won Haus, we'll known to an
extensive circle of society people in York
vile and Long Branch, has shocked
her many friends and church acquaint-
ances by abandoning her husband and
four children and clipping with stupid
shiftless young Hollander forme rly en-
ployed by her husband.
Van Haus keeps fancy edible stores in
Long Branch and New York, which were
we'll patronized by the best people.
About a year ago Charles -Hoevel-
ing, young Hollander: applied to Van
Haus for work. He was of short build,
with blonde hair and mustache, and was
not at all an Adonis. The clerks in the
store say he seemed too stupid to glance
at woman. Charles began to work for
Van Haus for his board and SIS week.
Unprepossessing though he was, Van
Hoeveling and his employers wife be-
came friends at once. He was dis
charged soon after, some say for drunk
SuhSSSJ OUuSES say DeCduSo ne was zoo Ia
miliar with Mrs Won Haus Mr.. Won
Haus, as in former years, opened and
conducted his branch delicatessen
store at the West End, Long Branch,
while Mrs. Won Haus was left in charge
of the New York store
When he left for Long Branch Van
Hoeveling became a frequent visitor to
the Park avenue store. He had got en-
ployment as the driver of a milk wagon
up town. Van "Most,'' as his fellow
driver called him on account of the fierce
cut of his hair, stopped so often at the
store that his visits grew to be subject
of gossip among the neighbors. No I'M
pleasant consequences were anticipated,
however, as Mrs. Won Haus was known
to be a regular church member and a
good housewife, and the husband, who
was attending to business down at Lon g
Branch heard nothing to arouse his sus-
picion.
Mrs. Van Haus vent to Long Branch
as the store there waste be closed up for
| the season. Before starting she babe her
children goodby more affectionately than
usual. When Van Haus came back he
learned that his wife had not been seen
| since the previous night, and that a
young man answering Van Hoeveling's
| description had accompanied her to
| train going west
Heartbroken the father returned home
| to communicate the news to his children,
No traces of the couple have yet been
found.

MURDER WILL OUT
Former Philadelphian's
Bloody Confession.
HIS CONSCIENCE TROUBLED HIM.
An Innocent Man Has Been Wrongfully
Imprisoned for Eight Years

The Murderer Stung by Remorse that
He Had no Rest Until He Had DivulGed
His Secret How CircumstantIal Evil
dence Convicted Guiltless Man - A
Strange Story.
MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, Sep. 26.-Con-
science has finally forced Jacob Brown to
confess a dire deed that he did eight
years ago SinG 1888 Brown has been
fleeing from his crime, but it has pursued
him until at last in Minneapolis he has
confessed to Superintendent of Police
Henderson
There is one man whose heart will give
bond of joy when he hears of the con-
fession. He is convict Gray, "lifer" at
the pen at Chester, Ill. Gray has for
eight years been thought the murderer.
He was convicted at Salem. Ill. Brown
went to Superintendent Henderson yes
terday and told his story.
1t was so strange that the chief set
him down as a crank. The man was SO
earnest, however, that the chief locked
him up and sent q telegram to Centralta,
Ill, where the murder was done. The
answer came from the sheriff: "Hold
the man"
The tory of the murder is strange
one. Brown, who was tramping, went
into box car to sleep. He stumbled
over a man in the dark. A fight ensued.
Brown hitj his assailant. death blow
with a coupling pin and fed.
Shortly afterwards another tramp
named Gray came along and went to
sleep in the same car, not knowing that
that he had dead man for companion.
The next morning he arose and found that
his arm had lain in pool of blood. He
tore off the bloody sleeve and fed. That
sleeve caused his arrest, conviction and
sentence.
Brown is said to be former resident
of Pittsburg, Pa.

wrist with small stick he held in his
hand, knocking the knife to the floor.
The enraged convict picked up a ham,
mer and struck Bowers two blows on the
head, telling him to the floor, and fatal

Withdraw from the National Ord,

Catholic Knights of Missouri Threaten to
Withdraw from the National Order
SEDALIA, Mo-, Sep. 90. - St. Joseph
branch No 81, Catholic Knights of
America, of this city, has taken a step
that is of national Importance as it means
the withdrawal of the order in Missouri
from the national body
The recent defalcation for 81, 900 of
Supreme Treasurer O'Brien, which is the
fourth defalcation on the part of su-
preme treasurers in the past few years,
caused the local branch to issue circu-
lar letter, which will be mailed to every
local branch in the State.
The letter demands the State officials
of the order to call convention to act
upon the proposition that all branches
of the order in Missouri unite in with
drawing from the national organization
and forming an independent body.
The letter also says that the order has
been conducted in the interest of poll
ticians and office seekers, and it is time
to call halt on the dishonest practices
pursued by Grand Lodge officers. The
organization has more than 1000 mem
bers in Missouri and the letter is certain
to produce a sensation.

for his Peculiar Arrest.
PLAINrIELD, N. j., Sep. 26.-William
Pangbo@n, of North Plainfeld, has OBJ
tanned :; writ OF certiorari from the Su-
preme Court His case is peculiar one.
Early in the spring Pangborn was ar
rested by Marshal Rutledge, charged
with being on the streets after proper
hours. 1t was then II o'clock. Though
there is no ordinance covering such a
complaint or designating the hour at
which the North Plainfield resident shall
seek his couch, the justice before whom
the case was tried sentenced Pangborn
20 pay a fine. Rutledge also claimed
that Pangborn was disorderly because he
objected when told to go home and to
bed.

is required to appear and show why the
fine which was imposed should not be re-
turned.
Pangborn will bring a suit against the
borough of North Plainfeld for damages

A WOMAN'S PATENT.
Simple Means of ElevatinE a Skirt When-
ever Necessary.

Simple Means of Elevating Skirt When-
ever Necessary.
Of all the patents taken out in this
country yearly, but a very small per;
centage are taken by women. Why
this is we do not pretend to know. That
women have inventive genius, and that
the world would be enriched were she
to exercise it more, there is no gainsay7
ing. Women, says the Mechanical
News, are of more observing nature
than they are usually given credit for,
and many things are evolved in the
mind of the practical woman, that
would cause her to be a leader, among
her immediate friends at least, were she
to make them known. Annie Lange,
Of Leicester, England, invented, and,
moreover, has actually patented, both
in that and this country, a simple means
of elevating the skirt whenever it may
become necessary. Our illustration
perhaps shows the idea even better than
we can describe it-not being of the
feminine gender. In the skirt are at
tached two or more transverse bands
substantially parallel with the waist
band, each provided with suitable fast

Teaching Girls Business,

TODD parents to send their girls to q
business college for course of three or

of means, who graduated regularly last
June are to enter a business college for

to make livelihood by these arts, but

knowledge of this kind is mighty good
to have in these uncertain days and il
