Pepper Broke Up the Dance.

New YORK, July ga practical
joke, played on Wednesday night IN the
Casino hall OF the Union county country
club house at Plainield. is likely to prove
a serious matter to the perpetrator il he is
caught. The trick was played upon the
persons attending the second summer
hop of the season. The Casino had been
prettily decorated aud well known society
people from the neighborhooi Of New
York aud Brooklyn were the guests of the
prominent Plainheld people present. The
scene was one OF much gaiety when the
opening dance was begun, bnt it soon
changed. Someone had sprinkled
cayenne pepper over the waxed surface of
the ballroom floor, and the result was felt
as soon as the dance was well under way.
The tripping feet and the swayIng of
skirts caused a cloud of dust that was
intolerahle in the heated and crowded bail
room. The pungent odor of red pepper
penetrated every nook and corner, Cling
the eyes, threats and ~nostrils of those
present, until the coughing became so
general that a hasty adjournment was
taken to another apartment. A corps of
walters with brushes and damp sawdust
finally cleared the hall of the pepper and
dancing was resumed. 1t is said that the
officers of the club will make strenuous
efforts to have the offenders punished.

Fate of a st. Joseph Man Bitten

Eccentric Miss Petty.

New York, July 25.-Eccentric Miss
Elizabeth Petty, of 10 Commerce street,
Newark, has again become the subject of
a police incident. 1t will be remembered
that on June Is it was reported that her
house had been robbed during her alb
sence, and Detective Cosgrove was sent to
investigate the robbery. He found her
rooms filthy, with dead and starving cats
on the bed and floor. The condition of
the room was SO bad hat the matter was
inspectors told Miss Petty that il she did
not put the house in order the board of
health would take charge. She begged
for time to do the work herself, ana as it
is known that she was a miser and had
money concealed all over the house. she
got the desired time. Then came the
story of the boys and girls finding $50 or
$40 in the sweepage dump where che dirt
from her house was thrown. An addi-
tional chapter is furnished by the arrest
of two men aud two women she employed
to clean the house. They are colored peo-
pie, and their leader is Alexander Dem
beigh, who, after working for
three DAYS in Miss Petty's house,
called in Mrs. Sidney Dashell and
William Ward. Then another woman
was engaged by Denbeigh, but she got
drunk, and he DISCHARGED her. They all
found money while cleaning up the rooms.
and Denbeigh rave Miss Petty 81 .65. 1t
is asserted. however, that the cleaners
carried out silver COINS by the hatful and
that after buying three suits of clothes
Ward had a whole ha. full of coins which
he placed in his trunk. The trunk was
rted and Ward complained to the police.
They arrested a newsboy named Collyer,
who said that the woman who lived with
Ward committed the robbery, and then
he told where the money came from. All
the colored people her confessed to tax
ing the money. Denbeigh stood out well
and said he was a shouting Methodist and
would not steal or lie to save his life, but
he finally admitted taking a lot of the
money and told where it was hidden.
About $l2 in quarters and halves we're
found tied up in a rag in Denbeigh's
room. Ward and his woman Owned up
that they got about $3.50. Ward said
Denbeigh mad three davs' start of him 10
the house, and must have got more. JUS
tice Hayes committed Ward, DenbeIgh
aud Mrs Dashell in default of $500 each.
1t Is said that when she returned from
the store after making purchases, Mss
Petty would wrap up her change in a
small piece Of paper and throw it on the
floor, and that she seldom touched 1t
again. Some times she threw the money
to the cats, saying: go buy your sup
per-" Several of her cats died of starry
alton. and after they died she let them lie
in the room. She kept them close pris-
oners, and they got food only when they
escaped to the %neighbors.
Miss Petty is an old maid, and was
formerly a school teacher. She had in
fuential relations in Brooklyn but would
not admit them to her house. The bell
has been broken from her front door and
she will not respond to a knock. The
house is going to iuIn and there is no
