crowded all day with buyers, and Mann

any in the city, and anybody in
clined to visit their store would feel
amply repaid. for 1t is seldom such

ments offered is the saving Of the middle

not small item to those who must make

the possession of the Park Commission
ers.
Director Bruggemann at this point
handed Clerk Boyd a communication
which read as follows:-
II wish to publicly state my attitude
with respect to the matter of the new
parks. refused to sign the bonds which
it was proposed TO issue In payment for
the sites. My reason for such refusal
has been variously misrepresented in
certain newspapers. need scarcely say
to You that 1 am heartily in favor
OF establishing euitable parks in this
county. But | am in favor Of
doing it in proper way. When the bonds
were presented to me for my signature, /
declined to sign them because l was adj
vised by eminent counsel that the Park
act was unconstitutional. The correct
ness of this advice and opinion has been
in the most conclusive manner corrobor-
ated by the very persons who wer the
first to dispute it.
when the Park Commission learned
that would not sign the bonds they at
tempted to coerce me. With great
flourish Of trumpets they instituted pro-
ceedings in the Supreme Court to compel
me to affix my signature to these bonds.
Their action was doubtless dictated by u
combination Of sincerity and ignorance.
but they seem to have subsequently ac-
quired light on this subject. When the
case was reached in court they inconti
nently abandoned it, and practically ad-
mitted that l was entirely right. The
knowledge that / have thus saved the
taxpayers Of this county from the burden
of an unconstitutional debt of more than
one million dollars is to me more than
sufficient compensation for the abuse to
which / have been so outrageously sub
jected because of my stand in the con-
troversy."

DIVISION In THE HOUSEHOLD
An Obliging Policeman Makes q
Most Unwarranted Arrest
All night in a Cell.

Fred From, good looking eighteen
year old youth, languished in cell at
Hoboken Police Headquarters all last
night simply because he would not dis
continue his attentions to pretty
young woman to whom he was devotedly
attached. A trumped up charge Of
disorderly conduct was made
by his father and he had no trou BILE in Sc
curing an accommodating policeman to
arrest his son. Recorder McDonough,
when he learned the circumstances of the
case this morning, promptly dismissed
the young man.
From is inclined to be little wild, ac-
cording TO the story his father tells.
Until about month ago he lived with
stances, at No. 1853 Clinton street.
About that time young From met Miss
Annie Geisler at masquerade ball in
Odd Fellows Hall. He danced with her
and escorted her home. Annie lived at
No. 164 Clinton streer. She is very pretty
brunette. From's parents heard OF
their sons attachment and ordered him
to cease his attentions or they would dis
own him. Young Franz chose the latter
and left home the following night. His
parents did not hear Of his whereabouts
until last night Then the father learned
that his son had been boarding with the
Geisler family.
HOW THE ARREST WAS MADE.
The father met Policeman McGinnis
on Clinton street about eleven O'clock
He told the policeman some story, and
McGinnis accompanied him to Miss
Geisder's house. There young From was
found and on the fathers complaint was
arrested.
When From was arraigned in Court
this morning. Miss Geisler was present,
plRinant she left the court room with her
youthful Sadmirer. The young mans
father was greatly incepsed. He said that
he would not mind his sons infatuation
{ he likad Miss Gaisler hut ha doesn't.
