GRABBED THE WRONG LEG.

A Gay Youth from Troy Comes to Grief

Special to the JERSEY Citu Seirs.
OCEAN GROVE. Aug. 26, 1s91.-William
A hollister, of Troy, is attending the
services OF The Camp Meeting Associa-
tion with several scratches on his face.
MIR. Hollister took his first ocean bath
last week He was with a party of friends
aud thought the bathing far surpassed a
plunge in the waters of the Hudson at his
native place.
He dived and swan, stood on his head,
aud cut up other antics in the water.
Suddenly the idea struck him that he
could create sensation by playing shark
with one OF his friends. When the next
big roller came in, Mr.. Holiister took a
header through it and seized what he
thought was the leg of one of his friends.
When the leg was wrenched from his
grasp he came up to enjoy the sensation
He did not enjoy 1t as much as his friends
did.
He had miscalculated the force OF the
surf when he made his header, aud, in-
stead of grasping the leg of ene of his
chums, he had seized the shapely form of
a pretty young woman. AS he came to
the top OF the water, the young woman
was ready TO meet him. Mr. HOLSTERS
smile turned TO a look OF horror, and he
began uttering profuse apologies.
The pretty young woman was muscu-
lar. and was frantic with Indignation
She paid no attention to- Mr.. HOLSTERS
apologies, but, dashing at him, seized
him by the hair and began scratching his
face. The next breaker upset Mr.. Hollis
ter and his charming assailant, and the
latter was compelled TO release ner hold.
The man from Troy made a break for the
beach, where he was met by some of his
friends. Dr. Nichols fixed up the cuts ou
his face. He has not been in the surf
since.

A LIVELY CIRCUS.
All the Animals Get Mixed Up With
Man and Buggy.

A good sized four-legged hog was quiet
ly walking mp the County Road yesterday
near Pen Horn Creek. A very hard
bearded Billy" goat noticed him. Will
lam deserted brick he was nlbbling
with ecstatic joy and joined the porker.
A snarlin9 aud disagreeable mischief
making yellow dog gazed at the pair
from farm yard, where he was gnawing
a bone The extreme happiness Of the
goat and hog rendered the cur miserable.
He abandoned the bone and made break
for the hog.
At that moment Arthur McGuckin, the
Sixth district plumber, politician and
warm adnirer OF Freenolder Kim
merly when contracts are given
out, came in sight. He was be-
hind his trotter, and approached
rapidly. The dog paid no attention TO
legged hog. With yelD he fastened his
teeth in one Of the porker's hind legs.
THIS produced squeaL The dog gave a
growl. Billy" looked amazed.
Then he remembered that his father
had lived in Shinuey Park aud had been
a bntting terror to Assemblyman
Boyle's constituents, the glory Of his
heroic ancestry filed his hands. He
lowered It. He made rush. Doggy flew
twenty feet in the air and lighted iu

ram could not have made his ribs ache
worse. But the cur was plucky He at
taeked the hog again, and that quadruped
fed precipitately. The dog followed.
The strong headed BILLY" kept close be-
hind.
McGucgen's trotter ran this stern chase
and visions OF matches he had trotted
with Freebooter Kemmerly's sorrel
flashed through his intellect He joined
in the race. McGuckin shouted:
"Woal boi d--n you, bo, woa;
easy, you fool. when say, . but it was no

the goat reached for the dog. who had
seized the hog with mis- oi-cusDidors The
dog brought the hog to halt. The goat
butted the dog against his victim.
The brother caught and kicked the goat
out of the road ran over the dogs tail
with a wheel aud used the hog for a
hurdle In the race. McGuckfn few over
the dashboard. The horse stopped. The
hog squealed and then darted IN

his tail between his legs and
went home on three feet aud the goat got
revenge. 1t saw good target for a butt

knees with his back to Billy. The aim
Of the goat was true ana Arthur
turned over and over. Inc opt smiled
wicKedly and Arthur swore vehemently.
His bruises were healed at Moore's hos

get there and tell the proprietress how he

The partition OF the Bayonne real estate
belonging to the estate of Rufus Story.
the late millionaire spice merchant of
New York city. has been arranged By the
Commissioners, ex-Mayor John Newman
and City Engineer and Surveyor Emmett
Smith Of Bayonne and United States
Commissioner William Muirheid Of Jer-
sey City The final maps and
reports viii be submitted in a
dRy or two 10 Chancellor Nc
Gu. Every one concerned Is pleased
with the division. 1t IS conceded by all
that it has been made on an equal basis
so far as the valuation of the various
plots and lots and their areas are con-
cerued. The work was Of Nd entirely i'm
partial nature, because the Commission
ers worked out the partition without any
knowledge of how the allotment would
result.
To have the the allotment as impartial
as the partition, a lottery in which no
blanks and all capital prizes Of equal
amounts were drawn, was devised The
four shares into which the property was
divided, were represented by the letters
A, B, G. and ID, which were written on
four cards and thrown into hat. Then
the names OF the four heirs,
Mrs. Mary E. Palmer, Mrs. Alice
Rowland Mrs. Abpy Story Mar
shall and Mrs Emily 3. Paret, daughters
of the testator, were written on another
set of cards. placed in unmarried en-
velopes and thrown into another hat.
The names and letters ware then drawn
and the property so allotted
All the realty in Bayocne that belongs
to the estate was not included IN the par
tition. By the provisions Of Mr. Story s
will his wife has a life interest In the fam
lily residence at East First street and

erty, with the surrounding grounds. is
excepted in consequence. Chancellor Nc
GIL also excepted. at the request of the
Commissioners, the La Toureite House
property. the idea being to defer the di-
vision of that section Of the estate until
a satisfactory valuation can be placed
upon the water front and riparian rights
As fixed by the partition, the aggregate
valuation Of the divide Is $685.. 640. The
number of city lots and area in square
feet given each heir is as follows:-1rus-
tees Of the estate tor Emily l. Paret and
her issue, 100 lilo lots, area 475.SSS square
feet; Alice Rowland, 1s7 2-10 lots. area
1872 40 lots; area. 4sl. .n63 square feet:
Mary E Palmer, 1s9 $40 lots, AZ, l27
square feet. The total number OF lots
partitioned was 75s 6-l0 Where the
testator and John A. Watson jointly
owned property the plots were equally
QlTlQed between tne estate anu 4l- w db-
son before the partition among the heirs
was made.
The partition gives each heir a portion
Of each plot or block in each section with
the area and valuation made as equal as
the layout of the property Will allow.
None OF the heirs have a monopoly OF
corner lots, and none has all OF her por-
tion located in any one section OF the
city. This division permits each heir to
profit by oay future increase in the yalu-
alton of the realty ia any section.
