ON HIS TRAIL ANYHOW.
Mrs Braun Comes from Milwaukee
for Her Erring Husband.
She Believes that He Deserted Her
for a False Friend.
Heard Of Him at Hoboken Through
q Nystifying Letter.

Mr.. William Braun, Of Milwaukee, Is
no longer here. He is gone. but whether
to Europe or back to his home is con-
undrum with which his wife Is busying
herself just now.
Braun owns a saloon at 23s Third
street, Milwaukee. He Is about thirty
five years old. His wife, who Is about
thirty, is rather good-looking. tall and
portly. Among her friends was one.
young woman, married not quite year
ago to man who Is lying sick at deaths
door. This young woman, whose name
Mrs. Braun does not, for the present,
desire to divulge, called frequently and
stayed long at the Braun home. About
two weeks ago she failed to make her
daily visit. Inquiry at her home elected
the information that she had been miss
Ing from there also since the day before.
Next day MIR. Braun also disappeared.
He left a letter. however, stating that
he intended going to Europe to open
saloon. Mrs. Braun then believed that
he had eloped with her friend.
This theory was, in her mind, con-
firmed when one of her husbands
friends received despatch from Hobo
latter would leave for Europe on Aug. Is.
Now. all these doubts and fears and
theories of Mrs. Braun had finally crys-
tailized into the determination to bring
her husband back at any cost And So
armed with letter of Introduction from
Chief Jannsen, of the Milwaukee police,
Mrs. Braun arrived here yesterday morn
ing and presented herself to Chief In
As the only ships for Europe from here
to-day leave from Hoboken. Inspector
Mclaughlin referred Mrs Braun to the
Hoboken police. who Immediately started
out in search Of the alleged eloper. In
order to make the search more interest
ing, Mrs. Braun said that her husband
wards admitted that the money belonged
to him no less than to her.
The first place Mrs. Braun and the
Hoboken sleuths struck was Bush's
Hotel. Third and Hudson streets, Hobo
ken. where they were told that man man
stopped there on Thursday long enough
to take glass of beer and leave mes
sage. The message was to the effect
that II a Mrs. Braun should happen to
call she should be told that her husband
had made up his mind to return to his
old allegiance in Milwaukee.
1t is this message that has produced
such suspense in the mind Of Mrs. Braun.
She leaves for Milwaukee at BIS this
afternoon in order to solve the riddle In
person.
II know the man does not deserve It,"
she said to an Evening World" reporter
this morning, but / can't help loving
him., and II he only returns to me / will
forgive him with all my heart"
Acting Chief of Police Hayes, OF Ho-
captured Braun he would scarcely have
any point to hold him on.

ALL OPPOSE FITCH.
Tammauy andAnti- TammanyMeu
Don't Want Him for Mayor
Considered Simply as q Rspressn.
tative Of the Brewers.
Plenty OF Money Behind Him, but
No Enthusiasm.

The nomination by the chief Tamma,x
organ OF Comptroller Ashbel p. Fitch
Tor Mayor has aroused resentment ana
opposition In Tammany Hall auains,
such a course. No politician or public
Official has got himself disliked an
quickly as Mr.. Fitch.
Although Mr.. Fitch has repeatedly A.
clsred that he is not q candidate ~.
Mayor, the politicians, nevertheless. he.
lieve that he is laying pipes for m.
nomination. He Is the brewers cand,-
date for Mayor. The brewers would
spend great deal of money to secur.
his election.
From the heads Of departments down
to the street-sweepers the Tammanv
politicians are opposed to Mr.. Fitch. Thev
say the brewers interest get too MANY
faVors, and that the organization which
placed him where he is Is merely used
by him as a vehicle to his ambition
Tammany men say that Croker made a
great mistake when he made Mr.. Fitch
Comptroller. 1
One, great objection the Tammanv
men men have against Mr.. Fitch is that he
pers; that he PUSHES into print on the
slightest provocation. He has partic.
ularly antagonized the friends OF Ex-
comptroller Myers by trying to show
that his administration OF the Conn.
trollers office for the six months bo
mas peen In charge was superior to that
Or Mr.. Myerss in six years, That In
itself, 1t is said, is sufiicient to xiii hIs
chances as a harmony candidate
More calling still to Tammany men
are enorts on Mr.. Fitch's part to show
that he does not wear q Tammany col
lar, when, in fact 1t is known that Mr..
Fitch is member OF Tammany Hail.
and votes as a Tammany man in all
government. '
Mr.. Fitch was nominated by Tamma-
ny Hall as a sop to the Germans, but
the Germans will have none of him as
Mayoralty candidate either. The Ger
man-American Reform Union. the rep
resentative organization of German
voters In the city, has declared in favor
or combination candidate who is not
tainted with Tammanyism.
There Is no doubt now that the anti
Tammany factions will carry out the
idea first advanced by the Independent
County Organization, to unite on a can.
didate for Mayor. The independent
County Organization has grown numer.
ically. Its leaders estimate that thev
will average 1000 votes In each Of ~
thirty districts. United with the anti.
Tammany Democracy, German Ameri.
can Reform Union, and the Republ.
cans, they are confident they will beat
any combination Tammany and he
State Democracy may make.

wanted some light, There was a bro
ken lamp In the house. partly flied with
oil. As Nellie tried to light It the lamr
exploded and the fire spread along the

children would have been burned. She
ruched them out to the hall, and heI
screams brought neighbors to her as
sistance.. One Of them picked up the
burning lamp and threw It to the street
The others put out the flames after q
slight damage.
Justice Meade, at the request of the
agent, sent John and Frank to the Cath
