AGED COUPLE WITHOUT A HOME
Turned Into the Street Because He
Couldn't PAY His Rent.

An old man, sixty-one years of age,
named George Gretten, has been evicted
from his home, No. $50 Jefferson street, Ho-
boken, and for three nights has been sleeping
on the street. His wife, who is fifty-eight
years of age, is in the same predicament.
but manages to find sleeping place with
neighbors. The old man has been employed
in cigar manufacturing, but owing to i'll
health lately was forced to give up work.
For three weeks he was confined to his bed,
unable scarcely to move Now all his money
is gone. The Landlord, Benz Bederockt, caused
the couple to be elected through process in
the Hoboken District Court. The rent,
amounting to but S. had not been paid.
Gretten had no money to pay it with so he
had to get out.
He has two daughters who live at
No lis Jefferson street, but they
are unable to provide even a
sleeping place for him. Neighbors give him
food. Friday night, when the old man was
put out, he slept in vacant lot. The next
night he was found by a friend, and
was allowed to sleep in saloon.
Last night he slumbered in tine same
place. Tonight he does not know where he
can sleep. He has lived in Hoboken for
thirty-eight years, and was at one time a
member of the old Hoboken Quartette Club.
All he owns in this world, few old pieces of
furniture, stand in front of his old home. At
one time the old man had considerable
money, but bad luck followed closely on his
heels He is not drinking man.

FOUND AN ARM AND LEG.

AS Patrick Hayes of No. 433 Madison
street, Hoboken, was wandering about the
swampy ground at Fifth and Monroe streets,
Hobokeu, at noon time yesterday, he OBJ
served in plain view something that made
queer sensations creep up and down his back.
He had found a human arm and leg lying
composedly-or more correctly decomposed-
lyon the ground. Patrick jumped and fed
to Police Headquarters, where he communi-
Gated his discovery to Chief Donovan. The
Chief sent DR.. Simon to the place. A crowd
of enormous proportions had gathered, from
morbid curiosity, to see the severed arm and
leg.
Dr. Simon sent for Coroner Volk and the
members were taken to the morgue.
DR.. Simon expressed himself that the ar
ticles had been deposited there by con-
tractor in New York who fills in the swamps
with dirt and ashes from the city. He
thinks that in his collections of garbage, the
New Yorker had scooped in the arm and leg
which student had dropped in barrel,
from some dissecting place.

THE TRACTION ELECTS OFFICERS

NYen Chosen From the Consolidated
COmpanies-New Intentions.
The Consolidated Traction Company has
selected its permanent officers from the
officers of the two companies that have been
brought under its control-the Jersey City
and Bergen Point Railway and the New
Jersey Traction Company, as follows: Presi-
dent, E. F. c. Young Of this city; Vice
President, jeremiah O'Rourke of Newark; =;
General Manager, David Young of Newark; !;
Secretary, Thomas j. George of Newark;
Treasurer, R. F. Bower of Philadelphia;
Auditor, w. j. Ramsey of Newark; Chair
nance Committee having charge of the con-
struction of new roads, B. NJ. Shanley; Su-
perintendent of Newark system, D. w.
Sharp Superintendent of Jersey City dis
trict, Thomas Sayre; Purchasing Agent,
Charles H. Thorne of Newark; Roadmasters,
A w. Pratt for the Newark system, and
James w Leahy for the Jersey City system.
The Consolidated Traction Company has
decided to be more careful in selecting the
men who will hereafter run their cars. Any
one applying for employment must be or
have been at some time resident of the
State of New Jersey and must come recon-
mended by some person who is known to
the management of the company. Prefer
ence will be given to married men.
1t is now stated that the line between this
city and Newark will not be placed in oper-
alton for some time, as it cannot be fully
completed until the Passaic River shall be
frozen over and navigation stopped. The
cables cannot be placed under the bridge
and the bridge made ready for the travel
until considerable work shall have been done
that cannot be accomplished until the work
can be done without interruption by passing
boats
The report that the Consolidated Traction
Company is interested in the construction OF
a bridge across the Kill Won Kull from
Staten Island to Bergen Point is denied by
Mr.. Stanley He says that the first that he
heard of it was yesterday, when Mr.. Grim
minis telephoned to him that two men had
offered to secure the franchises if the COM
pany would extend their lines over on Staten
Island. Mr. Shanley does not think that the
scheme is practicable.

sLAsHED TO DEATH.

BOSTON, Jan. s, S94.-Pasquale Sacco.
aged twenty-nine years, the keeper of an
Italian boarding house at No. 9 Salutation
street, North End, was murdered last night
by Vincenzo Carchidi Sacco went into the
yard attached to his house at about 11.40,
and was about to lock gate opening on the
street when Carchidi sprang out at him and
cut his head nearly off with razor. Sacco
reeled against the door of his house, and the
noise attracted some of the inmates, who
came out and found that he was dead.
Carchid stopped to wash his hands in the
yard, then he went to the second story of an
adjoining house, where he was later found
by the police The razor was found behind
an ash barrel in the yard. A piece that was
broken out of the blade was found near the
gate where the murder was committed.
Carchidi is thirty years of age. The cause
of the murder is unknown.

WINFIELD TAKES Hold.
His Detectives Will Endeavor
to Unravel the BarroWeliff
Mystery.

1t is now ten days since Miss May Bar
rowcliff was found in an insensible condi-
tion, with an ugly cash in her
Van Wagner avenues For ten days
she has been lying in the City Hospital
and has been steadily gaining strength in
mind and body. Her wound has entirely
healed, and that her mind is cleared there is
little doubt For ten days five de-
tectives, the head of the Jersey
City Police Department and Cap
tain Lange, in whose precinct she was
found, to say nothing of an army of amateur
detectives have been trying to find her
assailant. Theory after theory has been in
vestigated and all have ended in nothing.
Theories have been numerous, but as far
as is known, there has not been one clue, SO
far discovered which he's been worth any
thing.
POLICE AND DOCTOR RETICENT.
Certain it is that there was none up to
Saturday night, but since then the police
have changed their whole line of investlga-
ton and may now have something tangable
| to work upon.
Since Friday night no one but Dr. Varick
and the two trained nurses who are attached
| to the New York Police Department as
detectives, and were secured by Police Com
missioner Feeney to watch Miss BarrowcliH,
| have been allowed to enter the private room
| in which she is confined. Dr. Varick, while
| at liberty to give information to
| the reporters concerning Miss
| Barrowcliffs condition positively refuses to
| do so, and neither can anything concerning
| her be learned from Superintendent Smith.
To all questions regarding the case, Super
| intendent Smith replies: "There is nothing
new" A JERSEY CITY NEWS reporter called
on DR.. Varick at one O'Clock this afternoon
The doctor said he had nothing to say.
| PROSECUTOR WINFIELD TAKES HOLD.
| Prosecutor Winfield yesterday took the
matter in hand, and has placed State Detec-
| tives Feeney and Stack upon the case. This
looks very much as though he despaired OF
ures. A microscopic examination
has been made by. a New
| York expert who has decided that
| Miss Barreweliff was not outraged This
puts another face upon the matter, and
knocks the police theory sky high.
| Robbery or the desire of some person, for
| the purpose of flrthering his own ends, to
get rid of her, therefore remain as the only
! possible motives for the crime. 1t is known
| that she has 1000 which her father left her,
| jewelry left by her step-mother, amounting
| to couple of thousand dollars more,
and that $4,000 is in =, litigation
motive therefore seems to be the most prob
able one, as at the time she was hurt she had
but S5 with her. The police have been
shadowing all of her acquaintance to see
| that they 90 not leave town. Ii one OF
them committed the deed he is perfectly
safe in remaining here, even after her
seized from behind as she evidently
was, she never saw who grabbed her. 1t
| is thought that the State detectives are now
working on the belief that this is the case.

PREMIER RHODES BLUFF.
By Gable to the United Pres.

LONDON, Jan s, 1s94-The Pail Mall
Gazette, commenting upon the speech made
by Mr.. Cecil Rhodes, Premier of Cape
Colony and Chairman of the British South
Africa Company, at a banquet given in his
honor at Cape Town, says that Mr. Rhodes
has the reputation of being judicious, He
was indiscreet when he said that the result
of the campaign against the Matabeles had
realized an old project of his company. The
declaration that Lo Bengula had forced the
war. and the threat that the colonies would
deal elsewhere if the Crown did not recog-
nize its duties to them, ought not to have
emanated from the Colonial Premier. His
hints are only bluff.
The Westminster Gazette says:-Let Mr.
Rhodes blaze away at his traducers, but why
should he treat the outcry Of Mr.. Labouchere
and his little band, who did not dare to
bring about a division of the House of Com
mons on the Matabeleland question, as if
they represented the views of the Govern
menty

is THIS TRUE?

SAN FRANc1sco, Jan. s, 1s93.-It was
rumored yesterday that the reason that the
Corwin landed stranger at Fort Point and
thereafter refused to permit anyone, not
even Merchants Exchange or revenue
officers to board her, was that she had
brought to this port Minister Willis from
Honolulu, and that he had received his pass
ports from President Dole of the Provisional
Government. Every effort has been made
to confirm this rumor. Special tug boats
have been sent to the Corwin, etc, but no
confirmation can be found, in fact, nothing
be ascertained to give color to the rumor.

AFTER THE ooRDAGE TRUST.

Chancellor McGill had on Saturday after
noon in his law library an application from
Mr.. Ernest B. Balch to set aside the transfer
of the property of the Cordage Trust to the
United States Cordage Company. This
transfer was made two weeks ago in the ap-
plication of the receivers OF the former T COM
pany. Mr.. Balch's counsel, ex-Judge Hayes,
asked for an order to examine the books OF
the company to determine the true financial
status of the old company. Counselors Gil
bert Collins, r. N. Lindabury and j., L..
Cadwalader, for the United States Cordage
Company, asked for the order confirming the
sale, because most OF the creditors, they
urged, are in favor of the transfer. The
Chancellor decided to postpone the order for
examination of the books until the appeal
from the transfer begun in the Court OF
Errors and Appeals is determined by that

RUNAWAY IN GREENVlLLE.

While Frank Stoveken of Pearsall and
Ocean avenues, Greenville, was driving a
horse attached to light delivery wagon
along Old Bergen Road this morning, the
animal became frantic and started on
a mad run down the thoroughfare
The horse turned into Linden avenue and
took to the sidewalks. The pedestrians
who were on the thoroughfare at tine time
scattered in all directions Some ran into
nearby stores and doorways, while others
sought place of safety on the high stoop
of st. Paul's Convent. The wagon mar
nowly escaped wrecking the large
plate glass window of Bass hardware store.
The wagon collided with tree near Scott's
lane, which brought the animal to stand
still. The collision threw Stoveken from the
vehicle, and he was slightly injured about
the face and body.

LIEUTENANT MoRITzs MISTAKE.
The Clash Between British and
French Forces Causes Much
Comment.
By Cable to the United Press.


PARIS, JAM s, 1S94.-M. Couchard,
Deputy for Senegal, has announced his in
tention to interpellate the Government in
regard to the engagement between French
and British troops near Warina, in the in
terror of Sierra Leone. He will also ques-
ton the Government concerning the adj
vance of the Bonny expedition.
The Journal des De6dts observes that the
official report of the affair sent to the British
War Office from Warira by Colonel A. B.
Ellis, commanding the First Battalion of the
British West India Regiment, easily ex-
plains the mistake made by Lieutenant
Moritz, the Commander of the French force,
who was mortally wounded in the engage
ment
The Stafette deplores the incident, but de
nies that the fighting took place on British
territory. Neither the French Colonial De-
partment nor the Governor of Senegal,
it says, had been warned of the
departure of the British expedition, and
therefore France should decline to accept
blame for the affair

REPUBLICAN SUCCESS IN FRANCE
Bu Gable to the United Press.

PARIS Jan. 8, 1S94.-The Moderate news
papers agree that the result of yesterdays
Senatorial elections is fresh success for
the Republicans and rebuff to the Con-
servatives and Socialists.
The Journal des Debots regrets the defeat
of NJ Waddington, formerly French Am
bassador to Great Britain, who was de-
feated in the Department of Aisne by NJ
Macherez, an ex-Member of the Chamber of
Deputies. The paper declares that the de-
feat of NJ. Waddington is palpable loss to
the Senate.
The Petite Republiqte says that the hour
has not come to elect Socialist Senators, but
that Radicals of advanced opinions have
been returned.
