Trouble Between Undertakers in Hobo
ken-Grim Under Arrest.

Trouble Between Undertakers in Hobo
ken-Grim Under Arrest.
Herman Grim, an undertaken doing
business at No. 305 First street, Hoboken,
was arrested this morning by Detective
Morris on a warrant issued by Recorder
McDonough. on complaint of John f.
O'Hara, ex-Coroner and unoertaAeT,
whose place OF business is at No. 3O5
Washington street. O'Hara charged
Grim with receiving money under false
~pretences, Last year OHara buried a
child for Mr.. Mulligan of No. sos Ferry
street. He held the deed OF the grave as
security for money due, some SLIGO. The
early part Of this month Mulligan's
Father-in-law died and Grim was given
the funeral.
Mulligan asked O'Hara for the deed OF
the grave, not saying why he wanted 1t.
O'Hara refused it until payment was
made. 1t is said that Mulligan then paid
Grim the 81. 50, he to give it to O'Hara
and secure the deed. Grim took the
money, but, it is alleged, never paid
O'Hara. The dead body was allowed to
remain in a vault in the WeehaWken
Cemetery, Grim telling the Mulligans it
was too cold to open the grave.
On Saturday the Mulligans asked
O'Hara if Grim had the deed. He told
them no, he had it. They were surprised,

money. O'Hara ordered che grave open,
and told the Mulligans to see Grim and
lave him send the money to O'Hara.
The latter, not receiving any salts
factory answer from Grim. swore out the
warrant. This was yesterday morning
about ten O'Clock. In the afternoon Grim
paid O'Hara the $11.50 and took his re-
ceipt for the same. This morning the
warrant was served, and Grim will be adj
mitted to bail.
Grim denies any w~rongdoing, He says
he went TO pay O'Hara yesterday morn
ing, but the latter went u and didn't
return till late. In the afternoon he paid
him.
Another feature OF the case was
learned this morning. 1t seems O'Hara
secured legal advice as to whether he
should receive the money. If rendered latter
the complaint was sworn to. He was ad-
vised to take it. 1t was also said that
Recorder McDonough mad told Grim of
the fact of the complaint being made and
urged him to SETTLE. 1t was thought II
mis- were done, nothing further would be
heard of the matter. But it seems O'Hara
was determined TO force the complaint.

Light Tread of an Indian Nurse.

There is in one of the great hospitals
of New York full blooded Indian girl
acting as nurse in the woman's
ward, says a Pittsburg Dispatch cor
respondent. She has the black hair
and physiognomical peculiarities of
her race, is pretty with the bloom of
youth, tall and 1.-THE of figure, and of
most prepossessing appearance. She
has been thoroughly educated at
Hampton Institute and at training
school and has all the advantages OF
an educated and intelligent woman.
/ am told by an ex-patient of the
hospital that the wild blood of this
Minnehaha of the pill and pestle shows
but in one way, and that rather an sd-
vantage in room where there are
| sick women. At night her tread is alb
solutely inaudible. She moves as
quietly as her great-great-grandfather
might have done on the quest for
! scalps-much as cat does when there
| is forbidden cream in sight. During
| the day her step is no more noiseless
| than that of another woman, though
| always light and springy.
1t mi ght not be bad idea for some
| benevolent person to train up whole
lot of Indian girls for a gainful occu.
patton, to which they seem so well
adapted by inheritance.

Quincy Adams at the time he was a

fellow Democratic representative be
lieved that, as members Of the same
party, it was all right for him to speak
to the Quincy statesman without an
introduction. One morning, meeting
him in the corridor, he said: Good
morning, Mr.. Adams" No answer,
for an Adams was not to be thus
hailed. The next morning they met
again and the Essex Democrat, bound
not to let go after he had once
taken hold, greeted him with: GOOD
morning, John" Still there was no
recognition. The third morning the
persistent Democrat from Cape Ann
hailed Adams yet again: GLOW are
you, lack" Good morning, Mr..
Smith," was the reply and ever after
that Mr.. Adams was able to see and
to speak to Mr.. Smith.
