ANNIE WANTS HER SIPS.
she Had Loaned 1t to Her Lover on
False Representations.

A very interesting case will shortly be
tried in the Seventh District Court. in
which pretty twenty-two-year-old Annie
Katz, of 2l1 East Thirtieth street,
through her lawyer, Louis Steckler of
go Broadway, has brought suit against
her lover, Joseph Reiss. of 209 East
Eightieth street. to recover s125.
According to Annies story, Joseph pro-
posed marriage to her and she accepted
him as her aftianced. After a while
Joseph told Annie that he was the owner
of some property somewhere outside the
limits of New York, and that he was
going to transfer the same to her. In
Cidentally he needed some money to pay
the lawyers fees to have the papers
drawn up.
At another time, she says, he asked
her to advance some money in order to
buy household wares with which to start
housekeeping, which she did. Annie
afterwards learned, she says. that Jo-
other ways, she says, he obtained from
her altogether the sum of 1925, to re.
cover which she has brought suit, the
engagement having been broken OFF.

FIVE FIRES IN THREE WEEKS.
Police Searching for the Stanton
Street Tenement Firsbug.

A detective Of the Eldridge street sta
tion, is making an investigation into the
origin of the five mysterious fires which
have occurred in the hve-story tenement
at II Stanton street since Oct 25.
The general impression is that the
fires were not kindled for the purpose
of burning the tenement. 1t Is more
than probable that 1t is the pastime of
some mischievous boys in the vicinity.
Henry Riffel, who owns butcher shop
at 10 and Il Stanton street, also owns
the tenement He believes that had any
one a desire to set fire to his property
he would not select daylight to accom-
pllsh the task He has asked the police
TO make n thorough investigation.
The only family which has moved out
of the house recently is a man and his
wife. named Mr.. and Mrs. Snyder. They
were ordered out for non-payment OF
rent they left, however, since the first
three fires occurred. The owner said
| they were good-natured people. and he
secuted the idea this morning that sus.
picion could justly rest on them.

new PARTY IN 1886,
Present Populist Organization to
Furnish the Basis.
PETER Says It Win Have President
and Congress In 1900.
The Kansas Senator Would Call 1t
the NationaIist Party.
fBy Associated Press. }

WASHINGTON. Nov. ifs the
Populist party to continue in the political
ne,df
This IL one OF the questions which are
now agitating certain political circles at
the capital. and the question is based
upon rumors that the leaders OF the party
are contemplating a change of organiza-
tion because of some disagreement is
among them, but especially for the pur-
pose of permitting the advocates OF the
free coinage of silver who have never
embraced the Populist doctrines as to
Government ownership of railroads. the
bond loan policy and the Issuing OF paper
money. to attach themselves to the new
organisation.
Senator PETER was to-day asked by
IN Associated Press reporter for infor-
nation as to the correctness OF the re-
port and unhesitatingly stated that the
rumor of the proposed changes were
"I expect" he said. "a new alignment
OF parties to be found after the Con-
Grcssional election next year, and that
the new party will be ready for work
IN the Presidential election OF 1896.
The Populists will form part of a
great National organization, which will
probably be brought together under
another name. The Popuiist party will
have the same relation to this new party
parties bore to the Republican party,
which was afterwards organized by a
coming together of all the people -op-
posed to the extension of slavery in the
National Territories.
The ISSUE" he continued, lis now
between the money power and gold
basis on one side, and the producing
masses of the people advocating an en-
larged volume of money on a gold. sill
yer and paper basis on the other. That
will be the great issue in 1896. and is
one upon which the people will divide
without regard to former party differ
ences.
while we are fighting this first great
battle we shall learn a great many
things about what is necessary to be
done after the victory shall be won and
from that time forward all the old party
pretudices which have kept us apart SO
long, to our injury, will have been
buried and forgotten. and we shall be a
solid mass OF voters, ready for the ac-
complishment of other needed reforms.
II look for the success OF this new
movement in '96. and l expect a Presi-
dent and a Congress to be chosen In
1900 which will put into statute law the
leading doctrines of the Populist party
OF to-day
Mr.. PETER favors calling the new or
ganization the Nationalist party.
