mo RACING AT GLOUCESTER"
President william y. Thompson
Issues His Ultimatum.
Special 70 the Je3seD C3tg Neu'

Special to the Jersey City Meas.
CAMDEN, Feb. s, ls94-sYou can state
positively, as coming from me, that there
will be no racing on the Gloucester track
this year." Thus spoke President William
j. Thompson of the South Jersey Jockey
Club today. Mr.. Thompson, who had just
returned from his legislative duties at Tren-
ton, sat in his private office at gloucester,
surrounded by horsemen whose stables are
still within the confines of Gloucester track.
There have been many statements cred
tied to me,' said Mr.. Thompson, (which l
have never made. One of the Philadelphia
morning papers recently quoted me as say
ing, Nothing but divine power could pre-
vent racing at Gloucester. never said any
thing of the sort. OF course, myself, as well
as a great many horse owners who still
nave their horses quaItered here, would
like to see racing resumed, but L don't care
to have any trouble with the authorities,
and here the matter rests. Another report
had a new grand stand being erected and
other repairs under contemplation. Now,
as a matter of fact, there has not been a
nail driven, and you can readily see that
the grounds are in precisely the same con
dition as when the track was closed last
Thanksgiving Day"
II Mr.. Thompson is sincere in his declara-
tion that there will be no racing at Glouces-
ter, a mighty wall will go up from the horse
men who have made the track their headquar-
tiers during the winter months, Many of the
Gloucester bookmakers sought new pastures
after the track closed, but one by one they
nave returned to this city, and they are still
coming. Despite Mr.. Thompson's positive
statement, there are those connected with
the track in different capacities who are
hopeful that something Unforeseen may oc-
cur which will bring about the opening OF
the track.
The stable boys and trainers expect the
track to open in the near future, but they
have evidently not heard Mr.. T~hompson's
ultimatum.
Should Mr.. Thompson change his mind
and decide to open the Gloucester track
there will certainly be a clash between the
Gloucester police force and Sheriff Barrett
of Camden county. The Sheriff recently
made the positive declaration that he will
prevent racing at Gloucester if it necessi-
tates the swearing in of 500 deputies.
Mr.. Thompson's decision not to attempt to
open his track Oh March l is in keeping with
the recent declaration of Allan McDermott
at Trenton that there will be no racing in
New Jersey this year.

BUTCHER SCHMIDT ARRESTED.
Louisa Grief Makes a Serious Charge
Against Him.

Louisa Grief, who for a number of years
was a servant in the house of Mrs. Lansing,
at Second street and Park avenue, Hoboken,
has caused the arrest of William Schmidt, a
butcher, who lives at No. 227 Park avenue
The young woman accuses Schmidt with
having caused her ruin. She says that in
March 1891, when she was but fifteen years
old Schmidt and she became ac-
quainted, and that two months after
ward Schmidt criminally assaulted her.
Miss Grief says that in March 1892
she gave birth to a child, and that Schmidt
was its father.
Schmidt had frequently asked the girl to
marry him, and she had consented, but be-
fore the babe was born, Schmidt refused to
keep his promise, alleging that the girl was
too young to he married.
Constable Joseph Locke arrested Schmidt
yesterday, but he avoided Incarceration in
the County Jail by giving a bail bond for
50 ono Ht

GLAD TO GET RID OF HIM.

Constable Joseph Locke had another chase
in Hoboken yesterday. He was after Joseph
Ward, who, up to within four weeks ago,
lived happily with his wife, Nellie, on the
Heights. He then went to live with his sis
ter at No. 90 Cook street. His wife claims
there was a black-eved brunette damsel who
attracted her Joseph, and that she was the
cause of the separation. Ward som days
ago went to live at No. 10S Bloomfield street,
Hoboken. Mrs. Ward remained in the old
house on Frazer place for three weeks after
Joseph had left her. Then she returned to
her mother. This morning she and Joseph
were in Judge Wilson's court. The Judge
drew up separation papers, the two agreeing
to live apart. Mrs. Ward refused to accept
alimony. She said she was glad to get rid
of Joseph.

A GOOD COMBINATION.

Five Children, Marry.

WfdOwer and Widow, Each "
Five Children, Marry.
Frank Pruesser owns a barbershop at No.
721 Grand street. He has been running it
himself for some time. Therefore, it caused
a great deal of surprise among his friends
and customers when it leaked out that he
was going to lease his store and leave town.
Investigation discovered that there is quite a
romance connected with his giving up
his business. This is the story: Pruesser
was made a widower several years ago. His
wife left him five children. After she had
been dead for some time he began to look
around for another wife to look after the
young ones. He looked long before he found
a woman who was willing to assume charge
of the children, although there were plenty
who were fond enough of him to nave had
him if it were not for the young ones. At
last he found a lady who was
not only willing but anxious to
become a mother to his offspring. She was
Mrs. Augusta Creopsiky, a widow, who
kept a saloon on Fulton street, Brooklyn.
She also had five children. He was married
to her five months ago, Rev. G. Andraea
performing the ceremony. Pruesser kept
his marriage a secret from his children for
two months. He has given up his business
to go to Brooklyn and assume charge of his
wife's saloon business.

GOLD RECEIVED FOR BONDS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. s, 1S94.-Oficial fig
ures nave been received at the Treasury
Department from New York which show
that of the Sal, 200, 900 bonds allotted to New
York, all the bonds lave been paid for in
gold except So 97, 900, which were deposited
in legal tenders. Gold to this extent was
withdrawn from the Treasury for the pur-
pose of paying for bonds in exchange for the
legal tenders to the amount stated.
AS far as heard from, gold is being gener-
ally deposited for the purchase of bonds at
the other sub-treasuries. The percentage of
gold received at New York was about rs per
cent of the bonds allotted, and this average
is not likely to be decreased at other points.

HER BROTHER NOT A BURGLAR.

Word was sent to the Fourth precinct
station house this morning that a burglar
had entered the house Of Andrew Levins,
No. As Emory street. Detective Hottie
found one of the women of the house stand
ing at the front door. She told him that
she had seen a man walk up the stoop, try
the door, and on failing to open it, opened a
window and got in that way. Hottie went
into the house, and. after searching. for a
while found his man. He was the lady's
brother and explained that he had forgotten
his key, and failing to find the door open had
entered by the window, as he had done many
times before. Hottie made no arrest.

From A RrOken Leg.

that is suffering with a broken leg. The S.
P. C. A. wants to shoot the horse but Hans
man objects. Agent McCreery of the So
ciety swore out a warrant for Hansman's
arrest, and brought as evidence to Hans
mans cruelty a letter from DR.. Joseph f.
Autenrieth, a veterinary surgeon,
to the effect that the horse
could not live, aud to the best
of his the doctor's) knowledge the horse was
suffering terribly. The agent charges that
Hansman took the animal the day its leg
was broken and, compelling it to stand on its
three remaining legs, tried to get it to walk
up the Zabriskie street hill. The horse could
not walk, SO he dragged it into a wagon and
took it to a stable in the vicinity, where it
now is, lying between life and death. Hans
man was tried this afternoon before Judge
Wilson.
