NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
SIXTH DISTRICT CITIZEN.

The Sixth District Citizens Improvement
Association held an enthusiastic meeting last
evening at the rooms on Ocean avenue,
Greenville, and devoted over two hours to dis
c~ussions on improvement The first matter
to receive the attention of the citizen was the
Brown place sewer, Mr., Adam Reid said
that he had visited the sewer and discovered
O number of breaks but as the Street and
Water Commissioners are now repairing it
the citizens took no action in the matter.
President Thomas Cogen reported that the
new Woodlawn sewer is being pushed rapi dly
to completion and that the settlement of the
difficulty between the Lehigh Valley Rail
road and the Street and Water Co minis
sioners has made it possible for Contractor
Condor to complete the Improvement in a
few months.
Mr.. Adam Reid then brought up a matter
that will no doubt arouse the property
owners on the line of the new County Boule-
ward. Mr.. Reid said there is something rad
ically wrong with the system of assessment
for the new road. He charged that the as
sessment rates varied greatly and that GER
tain property owners were charged a high
er rate than others. The members decided
to investigate this matter still further and
| will take action at the next meeting.
The section of the bylaws relating to the
meeting nights were amended changing the
night from the second Tuesday of each
month to the second Wednesday. The
| amendment will be voted upon at the next
meeting. It being the annua meeting, Off
GERS for the following year we're elected.
President Thomas Cogan declined a renomi-
nation and Mr.. 8. L. Harvey was elected
President. The other officers elected were:-
FIRST Vice Presiden, Reuben Simpson: Sec
ond Vice Presidsnt, Adam Reid; Secretary,

OWN LOUISE

BALTIMORE, March IA, 1s94-Miss Louise
A. Morris and Frederick Gerhard were mar
ried at 1901 today. The wedding was a
very quiet affair at the home of the brides
parents, No. 207 West Franklin street. The
Ceremony was witnessed by only about fifty
of the relatives and intimate friends of the
bride and groom. The Rev. DR.: NJ. D. Bah
cock of Brown Memorial Church officiated.
Few, If ever attain the prominence in
social life, both at home and at every swell
American watering place that has been en-
loved by both Miss Morris and Mr.. Gebhard.
In the quiet wedding which followed the gay
social distinctions of the past, general
Disappointment was expressed. Miss
Morris wore a white MORE, ornamented
with frills of old family lace.
Her ornaments were diamonds and some of
the superb jewelry given by Mr.. Gebhard.
There were no bridesmaids. The groom was
attended by his best man, MI. De Courcy
Forbes of New York The ceremony was
followed by q collation.. Mr.. and Mrs. Geb-
hard will spend their honeymoon on a farm
belonging to the groom near Long Branch.

REDRESS FOR MISS MELTON.
Attacked by a Band of Koords In
the Koordfsh Mountains.

NEW York, March II, 1S94.-The Rev.
DR.. John Gillespie, Corresponding Secretary
of the Presbyterian Board Of Foreign Mis-
sions, received a letter today from the Hon.
A. w. Terrell, United States Minister to
Turkey. containing the information that Q
conviction has been secured in the cases of
the persons arrested for the attack
upon Miss Anna Melton, an American
missionary, last summer. Miss Melton, it
will be remembered, was assaulted bya band
Of Koords one night last June, in the little
village OF Daree, near Amadia, inthe Koord-
ish Mountains, where she was temporarily
stopping. She barely escaped with her life
from the murderous attack upon Der.
Ever since the preparation of the outrage,
Minister Terrell has been persistent in de-
manding from the Turkish Government q
redress for the wrongs committed upon In
American citizen. 1t was a long time, how
ever, before the officials there made any
serious effort OF finding and arresting
the guilty ones, whose identity was
really well known, but they finally
apprehended eleven persons, and after q de-
lay of months, nave conyicted them In the
lower courts. The judgment will now have
to be reviewed by the court of last resort, at
Bagdad, but it is not likely that it will be
reversed. By that court. also, the penalty
for the crime will be inflicted.

G%RAVEsEND's FUNDS.
Town Board Charged with Unlayy'
full Expenditures.

full Expenditures.
BROOKLYN, N. Y, March II, 1s94-The
Citizens Committee, which is investigating
the accounts of the town of Gravesend, last
night gave out the following statement
The Citizens Committee has decided to
proceed against the Town Board of Graves
nd. We are satisfied that the towns money
has been unlawfully, if not corruptly, Elk
pended, and that it was wastefully expended.
We have gone over the books for the past
ten years and find many lapses Of accounts.
Books n documents are missing. We
understand the officers Of the Town Board
say that no money has been wasted. We
hope so, but will give the the members of
this board an opportunity to prove their
innocence in court. Beyond any question a
large amount of money has been expended
for which there is no accounting, or at least
the accounting Is not where the law has said
it should be.
1t may be that an individual number Of
the Town Board may be responsible for the
manner in which money has been expended
or it may be that all the members Of the
Town Board are responsible. However, it
can be safely said that very many vouchers
are missing Of items of expenditure. They
have been recorded, but a most careful and
diligent search has failed to discover the
vouchers In question. OF course, 1t is posi-
BILE that they have been mislaid or are in the
private custody of some officer of the town.
They certainly nave not been found by our
expert accountant. Tax Collector Morris
and Town Auditor voorhees, express perfect
willingness to push this investigation and
are aiding us in every possible way.
We intend going deep into every depart
ment of the town. AS far as the Excise
Department is concerned, although there is
a large number of saloons in Gravesend, the
counts turned in annually only amount to
$500. In fact, the receipts nave been grow
ing less every year. The courts are to be
appealed to in the interests Of the tax payers.

A BERGEN CHARACTER DEAD.
CObbler Colvelps COmpanion Wassa
Copy of Shakespeare.

SOkS
One of Bergen's characters passed away
early this morning. His death was as pecu-
liar as was his life. He was Joseph Colwell,
an old shoemaker, who had nearly reached
his three score and ten years. He
Kept a little cobbling shop in the basement
of No. 493 Communipaw avenue, at the
Junction. He lived thereeamong his leather
and lasts-an isolated life, having no com
panion to confde in save his beloved books.
This old man was a scholar In his way and
was one of the finest ShakesEearean students
to be found in a days tramp. Lovers Of
the "Bard Of Avon" enjoyed nothing better
than an hour spent in the company of the
old cobbler. When he was at work he al
ways had a book In front of him, usually his
beloved Shakespeare, and as he haf soled
bors he improved his own understanding and
memorized verse after verse of much Ado
About Nothing, /" Julius Caesar" and other
works of the great poet. He was always de-
lighted when he conld get anyone to talk
books with him and liked nothing
better than a red hot argument on some dis
puted question. He would talk books by the
hour, but when anyone asked him to tell
them the story of his life, he would close up
like clam, and would be depressed for the
remainder of the day. He was very bitter
towards women, SO those who knew him
say, and they also say there was a
woman connected with his life,
fully as interesting as some of those
he loved to read SO much. He was an Eng
lishman by birth and has cobbled shoes in
this city for many years. Ten years ago he
had a little shop under the trestle work on
Erie street. He located at the Junction some
sig years ago. He disappeared for q time
and one day, four years ago,
he walked bach pennies. It is
said that he had been living
with mis- son In Fairview, but tired of there
and tramped all the way back to bis old
haunts. He set up in business again, and
has been there ever since, liked by all. He
was troubled with asthma, and few weeks
ago it took such a strong hold onhim that
he had to abandon work and take to his bed.
His landlord, genial Jack Welsh, wanted
him to go to the hospital, but the old man
took it as an insult and a ruse to get rid Of
him, so nothing more was said to him about
1t, Welsh doing what he could for him.
At about three o'clock this morning aOld
joe rushed into the street yelling, "Policel
policep' Patrolman Hamburg responded,
and the old man excitedly said:-
"For Gods sake Bill, hit me on the head,
| can't breath" Hamburg tried to get him
back into the shop, but he wouldn't saying
that he could get no air there. Hamburg,
with the assistance of some passers by got a
chair and bolstered him up in it, then sent
for the ambulance. Before the ambulance
arrived the old cobbler was dead. His body
was taken to the morgue which is next door
to his shop, and was afterwards claimed by
his son ana taken to Elliotts undertaking es-
Enlistment.

PITCHER GUMBERTs SUIT.
Proving There Was a Conspiracy
Against Him Among Ball Tossers.

PITTsBuRe, March IA, 1s94.-The case of
Pitcher Addison G.. Gumbert against the
Chicago Baseball Club took two sensational
turns yesterday. First, Thomas M. Mar
shall, Jr., Gumberts attorney, has estab-
lished a conspiracy on the part OF the menu
bers OF the twelve clubs comprising the
National League to keep out of employment
whenever it suits the prejudices or fancy Of
either one or all Of them.
The other feature is the request of George
E. Shaw, Esq, of Pittsburg, who represents
Chicago in the suit, to have it taken from the
Allegheny r. e4 aSIs E courts Msr to the United ted States ate
sented, giving as his reason for it, that as
nearly all Of the jurors in the United States
courts are business men and baseball enthus-
lasts, the transfer will work to the advant-
age Of his client.

PLEDGED 10 SECRECY.
Members of Senate Finance Conn
mfttee Won't Tell.

WASHINGTON, DC, March ID, 1894.-Mr.
Sherman was able to attend the meeting OF
the Finance Committee this morning, but he
did not arrive until a late hour. All the
other members now In the city were present.
The first thing done was in the direction
of preventing the publication Of the action
or discussions of the committee. This was
brought about by a revolution pledging the
members of the committee to secrecy and as
a result none of the members would speak
further than to say that absolutely nothing
had been accomplished, and 20 agreement
reached as to when the bill should be re-
ported.
The Democratic members are accusing
their Republican colleagues of consuming
needless time, and characterize their conduct
by that more expressive word "Filibuster-
ing.n
This the minority deny, and say that all
they ask is time to consider the bill. In re
turn they accuse the majority of attempting
to railroad the bill through committee.

HIS SONS DISGRACE KILLED HIM
Druggist TriOri Not Able to Stand
the Strain.


NEW YORK, March IA, 1894.-An Italian
druggist named Frank Triori, ffty-ive
years old, committed suicide today by swal-
lowing a quantity of s%trychnine at his home,
No. "a James street.
Triori's suicide Is the sequel to a scandal
which came to light last week in the Tombs
Police Court. The druggists son, Lawrence,
twenty-five years Of age, was arrested and
charged with abducting Lizzie Hamilton,
fifteen years old, of No. 1874 Sands
street, Brooklyn. Old Triori was the means
Of causing his sons arrest, and the
young man is at present a prisoner in the
Tombs awaiting trial. The disgraceful be-
havior of the son preyed upon the druggists
mind, and last night the latter told his wife
that the trouble was killing him.. Triori left
the house at a late hour, and when he re-
turned informed his wife that he had taken
poison. She thought that her husband was
alarming her, and to soothe his feelings
bought some beer and gave him a glass of It.
This morning Triori appeared TO be very
sick and when his wife realized the truth,
the strychnine was then completing its deadly
work. A surgeon was called on, but his
services were of no avail. The suicide was a
highly educated mar and an excellent
pharmacist.

attention to the fact that they were wearing
for the first time historic helmets of the pat
tern which had hitherto been worn only by
the first members of the regiment of Grena-
diers of the Prussian Guards. This, be said,
they ought to regard as q special distinction
which had been conferred upon the regiment
because it had always been in the front in
time of war.
