The receipts for the week will be about
1880 head. against 1900 head last
week. and Is, 200 head for the correspond

The market throughout the week has
ruled steady to strong for all grades, and
everything sold readily. The quality OF
the offerings was not good. and but few
were good enough for the shippers. A
glance at the representative sales will
show that but few cattle have sold above
four cents per ID. Some prime Montanas
brought $4.60 and 81 65. and 1871 head
of the Western Ranches Dakotas at "a. 70.
which was the highest price of the week.

year prime beeves advanced fifteen to
twenty-five cents per 100 lbs, while the
low grades were hard to move on ac-

being So 10 for thirty-four Montanas,
weighing 1,439 lbs. average. They were
the property of the Pioneer Cattle com

THERE WERE TWO WIDOWS.

1t Was Scarcely Necessary to Pull
Hair and Noses Over a Decayed Body.
There was a d~isgraceful scene in Cor
oner Parslow's undertaking establish
ment on Washington street, Hoboken, in
which W. women. both claiming to be
the widow of a dead man, quarrelled.
They scr canned and pulled one another's
hair until the Coroner separated them.
About ten days ago the decomposed body
of a man was found off the Hoboken river
walk, n 1t was removed to the Cor
oner's Office. The only thing by which
the body could be identified was a letter
addressed to Frank Eberle, and dated at
Long Branch. The letter was signed
Kate Eberle. and in IL Frank was adj
dressed as husband. The Coroner made
ceased was Frank Eberle, that he was a
cigar manufacturer living at 125th street
and St. Nicholas avenue, New York. The
Coroner communicated with the Chief of
the Long Branch police. He sent word
that a Mrs. Kate Eberle had lived at
Long Branch all summer, but that she
had moved to Red Bank. He added that
the character of the woman was not of
the best.
Yesterday afternoon two women en-
tered the Morgue. Both of them were
middle-aged and well dressed. They re-
ceived permission to look at Eberle's
body. AS soon as the shroud was re-
moved one of the women went into hys-
terics. This woman said she was Frank
Eberle's wife and that he was the father
of her three children. She lived in East
Fifteenth street. New York. The other
woman was the deceased's sister.
While the women were arranging with
the Coroner to secure a decent burial for
the dead in Flower Hill Cemetery. a
1ashily dressed young woman entered.
1t was evident that the new ONE was
not a stranger to the other two.
II would like to see the body of my
husband" said the tiashily dressed
woman. At this juncture the other
women commenced to abuse the new
conner and asked her to produce a marriage
certificate. She could not produce one,
but said that she had been married to the
deceased on November IL, 1890. The
other women wept and said she lied.
Then the women used language which
would not bear repeating In print

manned and calmly viewed the body.
When the Coroner ASKED her If she would
pay for the burial she said she could not
afford it, and left the place without she'd

A Negro Found in a Strange Bed by Its
Owner.
Mr.. and Mrs. Munro, residents of 145I4
Fremont street, Jersey City, had q rather
unpleasant experience on Monday night.
The husband and wife had gone out on
some business early in the evening. and
on their return were surprised to find
their door locked, as they had left it ajar.
On getting into the house they discov-
cred that a bed. usually slept in by a
brother of Mr.. Munro, was occupied.
Thinking that Harry (Mr. Muuro's
brother) had come home earlier than
usual they paid no attention to it.
Shortly after they were %disabused of this
idea, however. by the appearance of the
brother himself. Wondering who had
got into the bed they began to investi-
gate aud discovered that a negro had got
into the house in their absence. He had
cody undressed. wrapping a blue flannel
shirt he wore in paper, aud lay down TO
slumber, After a bit of a shipdy they
persuaded" the colored gentleman to
dress and get out. He had mistaken the
house and wandered in while drunk.
The affair is the talk of hes street now.
Mrs. Munro had all the clothes out on a
line to air yesterday.

A Word to McPhilIips.

If the Hudson County Bar Associa-
ton carries out its design of investi-
eating the affairs of Sheriff McPhillips'
office he will be a wise man not to
obstruct the inquiry by any factious
opposition on the score of want of
Jurisdiction or any other ground. On
the contrary, he should do all in his
power to further the proposed inves-
tigation.
If he is innocent of the charges al
legged against him the fact cannot be
established upon better or more salts
factory evidence than the certificate
of the Bar Association. If he is not
innocent he cannot evade the result
by throwing obstacles in the way of
an inquiry. To do 10 will only pre-
