with his fat friend Capt. Dan Cell as
high priest, and the jolly Sea Robbers
as mourners. the mortal remains Of
Phillip Jaeger will be committed to the
deep Off Romer Shoals next Thursday.
This IL a bona fide funeral and not a
Joke. Phillip Jaeger was an old New
York resident. with hosts Of friends in
his time. and the disposition of his body
in the manner and form adopted is in
faithful pursuance 10 the terms Of his
last will and testament. for which he
left an adequate appropriation.
Jaeger was forty-seven years old and
a German. He had a saloon at Tenth
street and Avenue A. What time he
had to spare from his business he spent
with Der See Rauber Fishing Club.
There are about fifteen hearty citizens OF
German origin in the Club. most Of
whom are saloonists and old sports, al
though the Secreatry. George Messman,
Ia In the whalebone business.
Once every two weeks the Club char
tered a tug and went down the bay.
The favorite fishing ground was on
Romer Shoal, Off the monument, near
Sandy Hook Point. Jaeger was on hand
at ali these functions. He had buried two
wives. had no children. was on bad
terms with his only brother in Brooklyn,
and the Sea Robbers were family enough
for him.

fore Recorder Smyth. Oct. II, and was
sentenced as stated.
At that time It appeared that he had
been married to Miss Mary c. Pryor.

Heart on April 2, 1899. without the

gle Mead. a sister OF the plaintiff.
She testified to having been present at
her sisters marriage, and that after the
ceremony n, the new new ma, married couple,
West.
During the testimony OF the witness
Archbold made frequent efforts to inter-
rupt her. and had TO be called to order
by the Judge.
When Archibald was called to the
stand, Judge Dugro explained to him
that any questions he answered must be
the exact truth, but that he was not
compelled 70 answer questions that
would eliminate him.
10 him by the Judge, Archbold admitted
having married Miss Mead.
We'll, how about your other wife,
asked Judge Dugro.
and then replied: Il never married her,
although l lived with her for several
years
Well, why did you plead guilty to the
Z" TO save her family from disgrace,
which is the same reason | consented
TO be a party TO mock marriage"
Continuing, he said that for several
marriage to his first wife, he had board
ei In her family and was the cause OF
the unfortunate condition In which she
found herself about that time. She CON
tossed her condition 70 a priest, whose
name Arcaibold said he did not remem-
Der. and who is now dead. The priest
advised him 10 marry her
He did not want to do so. but he sa ID
that the girl told him that, II he would
pretend To consent TO marriage 10
save her from disgrace, that her brother,
him, and that the marriage would be
invalid.
That plan. he said. was carried out.
and he was a witness at what was sup
posed TO be his own wedding.
Judge Dugro evidently did not believe
Archb IDS story and Immediately an
nulled .he marriage OF the second wife.
After leaving the witness-stnnd. in an
interview with an Evening WOrd' re-
porter. Archibold repeated his story, but
added that all the people concerned eN-
cept himself and the first Mrs. Archi-
bold, are dead.
Lawyer Moses ii. Grossman, OF the
firm OF Friend & House. Archhold' $
counsel when he pleaded guilty to the
charge OF bigamy, said to an Evening
World" reporter that so far as he knew
there was no truth in Archbold's state
ments, and that he did not believe them.

said, Indicates Its Great Value.


Erastus wiman was seen In the Tombs

receiver of the Electric Company. Of
Staten Island. This REPORT showed that
the Company had made clear profit
during the year OF $4,000.
Such a satisfactory showing. Mr.. WI
man said, justified the expectations OF
success which had induced himself and
friends to invest In 1t.
II the new plant, in course OF construc-
ton be completed, in which 10000 is
now locked up. idle and unproductive,
he said, the Power Company would not
only pay interest on its cost, but would
yield enough In addition to pay fixed
charges on a nine-mile electric road
from the ferry around the summit OF the
high hills of Staten Island.
This would not only be an attractive
and profitable excursion route, but
would bring into market large properties
from the enhancement in the value OF
which he could pay every dollar he
owed, beside enriching the whole com.
munity by the use OF electricity.
