A GREAT BIG FAKE.
That Hoboken Prisoner Did Not
Confess the Brooklyn Murder.

Some of the New York dailies which
seldom get their New Jersey news right,
had grand canard this morning about
the arrest in Hoboken, aud subsequent
confession of the murderer of Mrs.
Max Boschinsky and her little son Isaac,
which occurred last Tuesday In Brooklyn
Tne foundation of the story lay In the
following facts:-
Last Wednesday afternoon. a middle
aged, stockily built man with busny
whiskers hired a room for n week at Carl
kruger's lodging house, No 40 Hudson
street. de gave his name as Szentrany
Jaunos, aud said that he was a butcher.
He claimed that he had worked for u
horse butcher named Henry Bosse, at
Maspeth, l.. l., hut that he left the pre-
vious day aud intended to remain in Ho-
boken until he could secure a passage on
one of the German ste etmers. He paid
Kruger in advance for his lodging.
Gu Wednesday night aud Thursday the
new lodxer acted rather suspiciously.
aud Kruger thought all was not right.
Jannos was moody aud silent, and at
times paced the floor wringing his hands
and muttering to himself. Kruger be
came frightened at the peculiar actions
OF the stranger. and determined
is his intimate friend Yesterday
while in the lodger's room, Kruger was
frightened when he found a bundle OF
bloody clothing. The strange actions of
the lodger continued. and last evening

A BLOOD STAINED ENGINE
Caused Sensation at the Pennsylvania
Depot This Morning.

Caused Sensation at the Pennsylvania
Depot This Morning.
Whec the 915 train arrived in the
Pen nyslvania depot this morning, the
cowcatcher of the locomotive presented a
horrible spectacle. IL was covered
with blood and here and the re
hlotches of CORY flesh mingled with hair.
Everyone who saw the revolving sight
saw at u glance that the locomotive had
killed some one during the trip. The
engineer was eagerly questioned as to the
details of the accident, and much to the
surprise of those who crowded
about his cab, he appeared un-
look upon the affair with cruel levity.
Finally he hed the condescension TO say
that while flying over the meadows be-
tween here aud Newark he struck hog
which had escaped from the abattoir ami
undertook To cross the track III front of
his engine.

He understood the applause, and having
thoroughly frightened the Prince, he pro-
ceeded to let the public know what sort of
man this bold rider really was.
He cured up his tail so that Alto was
able to scramble on his back and set astride
of him; then he sailed slowly around the
arena not very far above the heads of the
spectators. Alto now began to cry piteously
for help. He besought the King, the Queen
Lista, anybody, to stop the monster and
take him down. He declared that he had
not wanted to do this thing, that he had
been forced into it, and if the griffin began
again to rush through the air he should cer-
tainly fall to the ground and be killed. He
wiped his weeping eyes with the scarf
Millice had given him, and when it was
thoroughly wet he threw it to the ground.
Many of the spectators pitied The Prince,
but more laughed at him. The Kopol-
landers were delighted; here was a grand
victory by one of themselves over q human
being Of high degree.
But the griffin was resolved that Alto
should not even be pitied. Presently a
Young dragon came toward him, bearing q
large banner with an inscription upon it.
This the monster took in his forepaws, and
holding it high over his head, continued his
slow course. The inscription, in great black
letters, read as follows:
The fellow on my back has been punished for
playing false with grimm and trying to cheat
a gardener.
As nearly all the people of Tanobar and

ing or writing, their ideas Of spelling were
mystical and vague.
When goat-legged satyr spelled super
sapient" as word of two letters beginning
and ending with Y, and when bottle-green

order that he might see and be seen. spelled
"gormandizer" with the figures 1, 8, 4, 3. it
was plain that they knew what they wanted
to spell if they did not know how to do it.
King Chamian did very we'll, although he
failed on some fve-syIlabled word, but Lista
spelled "euphemistic" youphumistic, and
when the judges, seeing she was not at
home in this class of words, gave her sad
die" sine spelled it with one and the e
where the ought to be.
Queen Millice was by all odds the best
speller on the grounds and the audience be-
came quite enthusiastic at her success with
every word given ner, no matter how hard
it was, or how many had failed before her.
Even "rodomontade" she spelled without
an b, although "rhododendron" had been
given out little while before.
When Prince Alto, who had not shown
himself since his griffin act, heard there
was TO be spelling bee, he was anxious to
take part for he was very proud Of his abil-
tiles as a speller, and feeling that he might
now regain some of the reputation he had
lost the day before. he ventured into the
arena. He had changed his clothes, and
was not recognized bv the greater part of the
crowd, but the judges knew him and they
gave him the hardest words they could
think of. However, they found no fault
with his spelling until he came to the word
"xylophagan. and then the Queen of the
Fairies cried out, Wrong, he Mould spell
it with z"

man, "but if 1 am not mistaken the word

The Animal Baked and Its Owner Tied a
Rope to Its Lower Jaw.
New York World
Henry Balsaur, Highway Commissioner
of Flatbush, was fined S. for manning a
horse by being an accessory to pulling off
about three inches of his tongue. Several
weeks ago he came in possession of hand
some blooded horse. The animal was
very balky one, but nevertheless Balsaur
started to drive him Monday, and accord
ingly hitched him to buggy. The horse
refused to move, and finally broke one of
the shafts. Balsaur became enraged, and,
procuring heavier harness, hitched the
horse to dirt cart, but the animal still re-
fused to move.
Just then farmers wagon came along,
and Balsaur tied the lower jaw of his horse
to the rear of the farmers wagon with
piece OF rope. The farmers horses we're
lashed up, but Balsaur's horse sat back on
his launches. He was dragged good dis
tance, and fually about three inches OF the
horses tongue WAS cut off and fell to the
street.

full passageways, and he congratulated her
on her victory at the spelling bee.
at must be ever so much harder, he
said, "to spell the words they gave you than
to fence with unicorn"
Just then they came to the cup-of-tea-
plant, which Chamian had not before noticed.
Millice wanted some tea, and stopping, she
broke off and filled two blossoms, one OF
which she handed to Chamian. The King
slipped it, and declared that as rule he did
not care for tea but that this was delicious
Not far away the Sorcerer stood, watching
the young couple. and as he watched, he
smiled more and more. Presently he sum-
moned his body servant
"Graglick, he said, measure my grin. !"
Taking a tape measure from his pocket,
the servant obeyed.

inches long"
81 thought things would turn out in that
way," the Sorcerer said to himself, eff they
were brought together away from home"
When Millice had retired to her tent,
Chamian said to the gardener.
II wish to buy this cup-octea-plant, and
make it present to the Queen. Send it to
the palace, and i will pay you your price.
That evening the exhibition was pro-
nounced closed, and every road was covered
with the visitors returning to their homes,
all delighted with the success of the great
show in Koboi-land.
At daybreak Lista mounted her wicked
mare aud set off for home at full speed, soon
outstripping her attendants. as was her Gus
tom. In the course of the morning she
overlook Alto, on his elephant. He had left
the Diminer-Ghde in the night and was
now reclining on his cushioned platform,

"Nonsense," exclaimed the Fairy Queen,
whose face had begun to glow with indig-
nation the moment she had perceived Alto.
''you need not try to make me believe that
a cowardly cheat such as that fellow, under
stands spelling better than I do. No one
can hear the word without knowing that it
begins with z. What say YOU, Wizsrd?"
The wizard, who knew or which side his
bread was buttered. replied to the Fairy
Queen that he agreed with her perfectly.
The learned man, with two against him,
could do no more, and Alto was told to sit
down.
The athletic games ended with grand
football match, In which there were hun
, dreds of players. The contest was very ex-
citing, and Lista became so wildly enthus-
iastic that she fairly scolded Chamian for
not joining in this grand sport.
"Oh, if were only a man." she cried, "I
would show you how would kick"
But Chamian did not care to take part in
this game. He had begun to think more Of
his dignity, and therefore restrained his in
clination to enter the rough-and-tumb bic
scramble in the arena. During the ap-
plause which followed the exploits of a Jet
black centaur, with a curly head and enorm-
Gus hind hoofs, Chamian left Lista and went
to the pavilion of Millice He learned that
she had left the arena and gone to see the
last of the flower show. Joining her there,
he found her in conversation with the griffin.
"Yes," the monster was saying, you are
