Later Developments Concerning Charles
II. Browns Death.

Later Developments Concerning Charles
r. Browns Death.
Louis Brown, a son of Charles r.
Brown. of Bayonne, who died on Tues
day from heart failure and dissipation, as
the family's statements led DR.. Converse
to believe. yesterday, visited the County
Physician at his Office, and told a differ
ent story. He said he did not live at his
fathers home, but when he went there
he learned facts which others of the
family had concealed. He said his brother
Charles had found pari s green in pocket
of his fathers coat, and had also found
stains Of the drug on the shirt his brother
wore when he died. He also believed his
father had been ill-Ureated.
DIR. Converse at once revoked the burial
permit he had granted and ordered the
body sent TO the Morgue. The autopsy
showed that Brown had swallowed cup
full OF the deadly drug-enough to kill
ten men. DR.. Converse said there was no
doubt the man had taken it himself be-
to administer so large dose to another
person. Investigation shows that Brown
was past medical aid when his condition
was discovered. DIR. Keller was hastily
summoned, but Brown was dead when he
reached the house. In consequence he
made no investigation, but told the FAM
lily to notify County Physician Converse.
The obj ect in concealing the paris green
incident is understood to be fear OF IN
validating life assurance policy which
Brown carried.
Coroner Pars low has been directed to
hold an inquest next Wednesday night.

UNSAFE BUILDING.
Hoboxen Seems to be Badly in Need of
an Inspector.

Hoboxen Seems to be Badly in Need of
an Inspector.
There is building in Hoboken which
threatens at any moment to collapse, and
apparently no one in the city has any
authority to take action. The buildin
has Just been erected at No. 81 Clinton
street. 1t is frame structure and
five stories high. Instead of having a
brick foundation for one story 1t only has
about one foot of bricks above the sur
face 1t leans to one side and Is gradu-
ally settling. Crowds gather in front OF
it daily and comment OH the danger.
Patrick Gillander who owns the house
at Nc. SO, called at the police station and
invoked the aid of the authorities. lie
said the tenants were moving out of his
house because they were afraid that the
shell-iike structure next door would top
pie over.
Sergeant Marneli, who was at the
desk, said the police were powerless to
act.
Gillander next visited Chief Engineer
Applegate of the Fire Department. Ap-
plegate combined the duties of building
Inspector Chief Engineer until the
establishm at of a paid fire department.
Now he is simply Chief Engineer. He
said he could not act
1t would thus appear that the egglike
destructive will remain as 1t is. There
are any number of unsafe buildings in
Hoboken, and Building Inspector is
badly needed,

PLANS FOR THE WAVERLY FAIR.

An Unusual Number of Entries in Every
Department.
The State Fair at Waverly opens on the
21st of September, and all the committees
are hard at work looking after the entries
in their various departments. The indi-
cations are that this is going to be, by all
odds, the largest and most successful fair
the New Jersey State Agricultural So
ciety has ever given. The entries of
fancy live stock and farm implements are
largely in advance of any previous year.
The entries of cattle are especially large
and fine. Choice herds of Ayershires,
Attorneys, Guernseys. Jerseys snd Hol-
stems will be exhibited. The exhibition
of sheep will be very interesting one,
and will embrace all the leading varie-
ties. The display of poultry will exceed
that of any other year, and as all the or
chards in the State have borne large
crops the fruit department will be
crowded In the special department the
entries are very numerous.
Special arrangements have been made
with Madam Marrantete to give an ex-
hibition each day of her trained horses
She will show her famous saddle horse.
Woodlawn, and the horse Tilemaker, that
has the reputation of being the greatest
jumping horse in the world.

deed that ended his life. And yet, it is
said, he was far from being ban krupt.
Brokers who have fought by his side, re-
membering his cool Judgment, his un-
wavering confidence during the uncertain
days that followed the panic of 1884, when
he lost heavily without making sign,
are surprised that few losses recently
should have turned his head.
Mr.. Morris Smith, Mr.. Linu's partner,
could not be found last evening. In his
absence one of his sons said:-
II know that my fathers partner has
been in poor health for year or SO, and
that he has been both mentally and ply
sically distressed for several days. MY
father frequently went to see him at his
home in Hackensack, and he told me that
he found him In a pitiable condition.
Within week he has suffered from de-
lirium, and he became so nervous that he
could not bear to be left alone for
moment. He had an idea that his head
was growing steadily larger, and there
were other symptoms of derangement.
/ have not heard that he was involved in
any business or financial troubles"
THE HEART BROKEN FATHER.
Mr.. John Linn, the aged father OF the
suicide, is almost heart-broken over the
affair. Seated in his Office in the Provi-
dent Savings Bank building this morning
he told NEW s reporter that the family
as yet haye been unable to solve the mys-
terry.
cit is cruel" he said, "for the news
papers to publish mere rumors concerning
missing securities. So far as we have
been able to ascertain Eddie was nowise
financially embarrassed. IL SO it will all
come 10 light. J. know he lost heavily
last spring in stock speculations
but not enough to embarras5 him. While
he was known among the brokers as
cool headed man, we cannot always un-
derstand what makes some men worry
over affairs that appear to Others trivial
and insignificant. No, he had nothing to
do with the management of the Wallace
estate"
The funeral will take place tomorrow.
1t will be private, and the hour has not

Daughter, Rose Lederer.
The list of objections to the will
of the late Lawyer Richard
S. Newcomb. made by his
daughters, Mrs. Lederer, was
filed with the New York Surrogate this

will offered for probate is not the last
will; that the papers at the end were
not signed by r. S. Newcomb;
that the signing OF his name was in all
cases irregular, being incompletely wit
messed, and that at the time at
which said signing purports to have
been made the deceased was
not in his right mind. 1t is also alleged
that the will presented was executed
while r. S. Newcomb was under the un-
due influence of Ida S. Newcomb, WIDOW

The Inquiry Into the Park Place Disas-
ter Not Ended.
The efforts of the New York authori-
ties to ascertain the cause of the Park
place disaster began again at
half-past ten this morning. John
Fl. Van Norden. an architect, said
the building was put up for stores on the
lower and offices on the upper floors. 1t
was built to sustain a weight of zoo
pounds to the square foot. he added.
Witness further said that on the testi-
mony of Lithographer Liebar there was a
weight of 144 tons on the top floor, max
ing pressure of 700 pounds per square
foot. Continuing, he said:-
ssThe maximum limit the floors could
stand was 800 or 900 pounds to the square
foot. 1t was safe weight at 200 pounds.
At 800 or 800 pounds pressure per square
foot the breaking or collapsing point
would be reached.
"At the weights described by Mr.. Lieb-
ler the pressure was nearly up to this
breaking limit"
The examination Is still on.
