WAS he POISONED Z?
Moore Died in Commissions After
Drinking Bitter Tea.
He Evidently Suspected Designs
Upon His Life.
Mrs. Hubs Arrested and the Dev-
erage to BE Analysed.

The police of Jersey City are working
on II case in which every indication
points to murder by poisoning. George
Moore, thrty-four years old, lived at
Ia Pine street, that city, taking his
meals from Mrs Alice Hubs, of Pine
and Maple streets. Moore was night
foreman in the United States Express
Company's stables in Communipaw.
Last night, as usual. his supper was
sent to the stables from Mrs. Hubs 5
house. At 1880 o'clock Moore, Joseph
Masset and Edward Hansen, other EN-
ployees of the Company. sat down to
eat their lunch. Moore's supper con-
sisted of sandwiches. pie and tea.
After eating some of the sandwiches
Moore took up the pail In which the tea
was and tasted it. He remarked that
1t seemed very bitter and had peculiar
taste. Moore told Masset to taste it,
which he did. and said 1t appeared to
him to be very bitter. Moore. how
ever drank some more of the tea.
About ten minutes afterwards Moore
got up and went into an adjoining
room. He was heard by Masset and
Hensen falling to the floor. They found
moore writing in commissions, and did
everything they could for him, but he

Masset and Hansen became alarmed
ana the police were notified. Detective

County Physician Converse was also
notified. He ordered the body removed
to Speer's Morgue in Jersey City, where
1t now Is. n portion of the tea Is in the
possession OF the County Physician. He
is going to make an analysis of It, Mrs
Hubbs denied that she put poison In the
tea.
John Moore, n brother of the dead
man, lived with Mrs. Hubbs. George
tried to induce his brother TO leave the
house. but he refused. Then George had
a fight with Mrs. Hubbs, and this, the
police say may be the motive for Mrs.
Hubbs poisoning George Moore.
Mrs Hubhs is in the custody of De-
tective McNally at her home. John
Moore. the brother of the dead man, ia
also under suspicion. Assistant County
Physician Saltonstall is expected to
make an examination of the body some
time to-day.
Mrs Hubbs is widow, about forty
five years old She has n daughter.
1t was learned that George Moore was
engaged to be married on Oct. Z, to a

MAY BE A BLOODY FIGHT.
Italians In AvondaIe, ". j., Armed
for Fray.


NEWARK. N. j., Sept. 24-Resdents
OF Avondale are in hourly dread OF an
outbreak between two warng factions
of Italians. Both sides are armed TO
the teeth, and 1t Is expected that blood
will be shed before the trouble is settled.
Rosa Mantala fell in love with an
italian laborer named Frank Scrarro.
Her father opposed the match, as he
mad promised her hand to another
Italian young man of property and
lahiiy living near Avondaie. The girls
lover was denied admission to the Man
tata residence
The young people last week met and
paid visit to New York. where they
were married in the City Hall.
Ihey returned to ANondale, but kept
their marriage a secret until Saturday
nlght, when Serarro visited Mlntata's
mouse ana demanded his bride. Serraro
was turned out and Rosa locked up.
Young Serraro then went before JUS
tice. Post and tried to get that official
to issue warrant. This the Justice
refused to do, but promised to inves-
tigate the case. The laws delays did
not satisfy the ardent young lover. lie
threatened to go with cro.,u OF ms
friends and rescue the P,.i.
Last night the Gamer. the brothers
ana number II the friends of the
Mantata family slept upon their arms,
prepared to meet the forces of Serraro,
proVi.ed That young man should put in
an appearance and attempt "A rescue.
They watched all night, but Serraro
did not appear.
1T is said, however, that he Is mar
shalling his clans, and that the rescue

CYCLONE ON THE WiRPhTH.
Off the Florida Coast and Heading
Northward To-Day.
II May Bc Felt Here and Then
Again II May Not.

A big cyclone is meanderng along the
Southern Atlantic coast, about 200 miles
out" to-day, and there Is considerable
speculation in the mathematical mind of
Weatner-Ohecrver Dunn as to whether
the storm will be felt in the metropolis
or not.
AS yet the storm centre of the cyclone
has not been located definitely. 1t start
ed on its wild career last Friday down in
the West Indies, where 1t raised havoc
and devastation
This morning II was reported off the
Florida coast, moving about north-north-
west at the rate of forty-four miles an
hour.
The storm was accompanied by rain,
and the barometer was very low and still
falling.
While 1t not considered safe for south
bound vessels to leave port for IA day or
two, as they would probably run right
into the storms centre, Mr.. Dunn is not
prepared to say that the full force of
the cyclones fury will be felt here.
1t Is possible that the windy terror
may pass out to sea aud forget where It
Is at, but 1t seems likely that New
Workers may catch n breath of II in n
day or two in the shape OF high winds
and rains.

BOLD THUGS AT WORK
Two Men Robbed on a Well
Lighted, Crowded Street.
StrangIed by the Highwaymen with
Twisted Six Handkerchiefs.
The Victims Left DaZed and Nearly
Choked, While the Thugs Escaped.

The Hoboken police are Investigating
to-day the most caring hold-up and rob
berry that has been report ed there in many
years. Up to the present time no one
has explained just how the thing oc-
Cured, so daring was the attempt upon
the lives and the property OF the two
men attacked.
Acolde Churer. of 433 Spring street, and
Lewis Robacco, of 467 Spring street, two
expert Italians, employed in the silk mills
as foremen, were walking with their
wives last night through West Hoboken,
and were passing out Maple street when
they dropped behind their wives for
moment.
Suddenly three men sprang out from
behind a tree and quick as lightning
threw what seemed to be a cord around
the necks of both men. The silk weavers
were unable to utter a sound, so rapidly
was it accomplished. Twisting the cords
tighter and tighter 1t seemed as though
the victims were choking to death.
Completely dazed and almost suffocated
by the unexpected and unique assault,
they offered no resistance, while the
three strangers went through their pock-
cts and robbed them of all their valua-
bles. They succeeded in getting about
So knife, a watch, as well as other
little trinkets from the pockets of Ro-
bacco. The amount secured from Churer
was less. but he also lost a watch and
knife
AS soon as the thieves had disap-
peared the two men rejoined their
wives, and for the first time 1t was
discovered that the cords which were
hanging about their nccks were new
silk handkerchiefS of a plain pattern
The men were slightly injured by blows
received on the back of the head
The matter was at once reported to
the police. So far the authorities have
no clue, save the handkerchiefs left
by the thieves; From the pattern, as
well as, from the methods employed by
the robbers, 1t is thought that the men
who made the assault are from the
South OF France, or from italy.
The audacity of the thugs can best
be understood when it is known that
the streets were crowded at the time,
ana that II was comparatively well
lighted In the place where the hold-up
occurred. The escape of the robbers un-
der those circumstances can only be
explained by the fact that because of
the peculiar methods of attack the men
made no outcry.
The robbers seemed to work in per-
feet harmony Two of them attended
to the strangling part of the programme,
while the third ransacked the pockets of
the men.
