VOLFSON'S SHAME.
Charles S. Furst's Brother.
in-LaW and Salesman
Held for Trial.
SAYS MAMIE LED HIM ON.
Attempts to Blacken the Girl'a
Character Which Her Friends
Are Indignant at.

Charles Wolfson, the broth er-in-law ot
Charles S. Furst the Newark avenue dry
goods merchant, was arraigned bsforG
Justice O'Donnell this morning to
answer to the charge of assault preferred
by pretty Mamie Blakeney who was em-
ployed as saleswoman in Furst's store, the
particulars of which were fully told In
last nights JERSEY CITY NEWS.
1t was the first glimpse that the repor-
ters had of Wolfson. He is not bad
looking fellow with strongly marked
Hebraic cast of eountenence. He has
curly blonde mustache and blue eyes. He
came into court with his brother-in-law,
Mr.. Furst. and took seat alongside the
reporters. Mr.. Furst remained outside
and shot angry glances at the reporters.
On one of the front benches sat Mamie
Blakeney and her father. The girls
beauty would attract attention any
where. She has a wealth of jet black
hair, a small mouth and dark expressive
eyes. Her face was flushed, and this
made her look all the more pretty.
Everybody sympathized with the girl,
while the prisoner only received words OF
condemnation.
LET OUT ON BAIL.
Wolfson was released yesterday after
noon on all order from Judge Hudspeth.
Justice O'DonnelI was in Trenton, and
Furst went up to the Court House and
furnished 81, 900 bail for Wolfson's ap-
pearance before Justice O'Donnel this
morning. So Wolfs0n did not have TO
spend the night in a cell at Police Head
quarters.
The court room was crowded, as is was
expected that Mamie would tell her
story. But the crowd was disappointed.
Wolfson said he would waive eIamina-
tion and Justice O'Donnell committed
him for trial. AT eleven o'clock Detec-
tive Dalton took the prisoner to the
County Jail.
More of ths details of the crime with
which Wolfson stands charged, were
brought to light today. Tine all eyed
cri me occurred on Thursday night, Feb
uary 16. Mamie met Wolfson by APP
pointment on Jersey avenue. Then they
entered the back room OF
saloon and Wolfson induced Mamie to
drink some sherry wine. The girl drank
so much wine that she was easy prey Tor
Wolfson and he had little trouble IN
bringing her to Ewing's Hotel, where
Z Jhey remained In the same room Tor
several hours.
BLAcKENINe THE GIRL.
Wolfsou made q statement to one OF
the court officers to the effect that he
knew Mamie in New brunswick and that
he frequently fiirted with her on the
street. He said that she led him on and
that she did not refuse TO drink wine. He
said that she did net hesitate about going
to the hotel
On the other hand, the friends Of the
Young girl say that she was duped and
that Wolfson and his friends are striving
to blackeH her character. Tue girls
friends say that this will be hard mat
ter, as the girls previous reputation was
above suspicion.

SMALL POX IN H0BOKEN
A Patient in St. Mary's Hos
pital Taken With the
Dread Disease.

There was considerable excitement at
st. Mary's Hospital. last evening when it
became known that one of the patients
who had been in the hospital a month
past suffering from an liberated leg had
been taken down with smallpox. He was
Immediately removed to the dead house.
and everything known to medical science
was done by the sisters and the Board or
Health to prevent the spread of the dis
ease. The man was removed this morn
ing to the pest house at Snake Hill.
Matthew Muirns, better known to tn e
police as Mat Burns, about month ago
applied to City Physician Simon for treat
ment for sore leg. Burns had burned
his leg some weeks before, and, not hav-
Ing attended to it, it became liberated.
When DIR. Simon examined the leg it was
most disgusting spectacle. Burns is a
typical tough, and has been in Snake
Hill very often. When out of Jail he
hangs about stables and saloons. When
DR.. Simon concluded his examination he
ordered Burns sent to st. Mary's Hos
pital.
THE FIRST SYMPTOMS.
Here be remained under the care OF the
Hospital doctors, His disease was to all
appearances mending. Last Friday
Burns manifested dull and heavy feel
ing, something unusual for him since In
the Hospital. Saturday he was taken
with severe chill, and forty ght hours
afterwards, yesterday, the rash broke out
all over his body. DR.. Fischer on
his rounds. discovered Burns condition,
and had him Immediately removed to
the dead house. where he was isoloted
from all other persons DIR. Simon was
notified, and he diagnosed the sypntoms
also as smallpox Of the con phuent variety.
DIR. Converse was then notified, and last
night made an examination, deciding
also, as the other ply ys1cians had.
Burns had been in one of the large
wards The place was thorou ghly fumi
gated and the patients vaccinated. aud
every precaution taken to prevent the
spread of the disease.
Burns was removed to the pest house al
Snake Hill this morning.
The doctors are unable to account for
the appearance of the disease. Burns
has been at Snake Hill, and it was
thought he might have caught the disease
there, but this is discredited on the
ground that he has been in the Hospita
about month. and IL takes only four
teen days TO: the disease to appear.
1t is thought some visitor to him, either
one who had had the disease. or one who
carried the germs in his clothes, is re-
spousible. A number of his visitors were
those not overcareful of their appearance

A HITCH IN THE Sale.
The Jersey City and Bergen
Railroad Transfer Not
Fully Agreed Upon.

President Charles B. Thurston of the
Jersey City & Bergen Railroad said to-
day that he had been Informed by coun-
sci for the Pennsylvania Railroad in
Philadelphia Of hitch in the negotia-
tions for the sale of the Jersey City &
Bergen Railroad to the syndicate rep
resented by John D. Crimmins Of
New York. The syndicate agresd
TO pay $3.50 for the 5,014
shares of Jersey City and Bergen stock
owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, but is not willing to pay at the
same rate for the remaining 1885 shares
owned by tha minority stockholders. The
Pennsylvania Company, sPresldent
Thurston says, is trying to secure the
same price for the minority stock.
Negotiations are going on today at Tren-
ton, and Mr.. Thurston thought an agree
ment min possibly be reached before
night. When terms are agreed upon
the minority stockholders will promptly
be informed. The hitch makes it
possible that the sale may fall through,
but President Thurston said he could
not say what the result would be. No
Jersey and Bergen stock has been trans-
ferred recently, and only thirteen shares
within year.
