DIR. STEGMAIR EXPLAINS.

DIR. Julius A. Stegmair, of Linden ave
nue., G~reenville, has been somewhat sharply
criticized in consequence of an article head
ed IA Sad Case of Poverty" which appeared
in this paper rece ntly. The story was that
he refused to attend the family OF c. w
Dederich, No. $50 Runyon avenue, because
they couldn't give him five dollars, and told
them to get the City Physician instead.
The doctor emphatically denies the Hfve
dollar part of the story and gives this YER
sion of the affair:
II have attended Dederich's family for six
or seven years and have never received a
tended Mrs. Dederich in her confinement,
and told me that another event Of a like
character was expected. I replied that ]
could not attend to it. I remarked that ]
had done enough for him and If he couldn't
pay for a doctor he might ask the City
Physician to attend. If he went to the police
station and notified the officer there the City
Physician would look after him.
"This man Dederich," the Doctor con
cluded, lis too fond of drink. He is drunk
almost every day. He was intoxicated wher
he called on me. His house is so dirty and
resembles a hog pen so much more than any.

physician and is noted for many charitable

OYERDRAWN
Sensational Discovery of
Hoboken's Poormaster
This Morning.
NO MONEY FOR THE POOR
Poor Funds Given to ST. Mary's
Hospital in Excess of the
Approximations
cilmen to Blame.

A sensation was created in Hoboken this
morning when it became known that only
$40 of 5000 appropriated remained in the
poor fund, and that, SO far as Poormaster
Miller knew, only some S $500 had been paid
out.
Poormaster Miller Immediately shut up his
office, and refused to issue any more poor
were in waiting anxious to get them.
THE LEAK DISCOVERED.
An investigation was Immediately set on
foot and the leak was soon discovered. In
May the city appropriated for st. Mary's
Hospital s., 200, this sum to be paid to the
hospital trustees as it became due.
TINS city allows, it seems, the Hospital SO
much for each person sent by the City Ply
stefan. TIL distress has been SO great chat
the $1,000 was exhausted, as also $1,134.50
more.
The latter was taken from the poor fund,
and this accounts for it being exhausted.
The poor will have to remain without
city help until the next meeting of the
Council, unless Mayor Pagan takes action IN
the matter.
WHO is RESPONSIBLE?
Who if responsible fol- this condition is
not known.
Somebody is, there is no doubt, and it re-
fleets very much on the system of bookkeep-
ing in vogue.
The members of the committee of the
Council who ought to know about this mat
ter could not be seen this afternoon. Neither
could Mayor Pagan.
Unless some explanation satisfactory is
given of this matter, it is said the Grand
Jury will be asked to look into municipal
affairs in Hoboken.

WAS WARBURToN sWINDLED.

Frank Warburton, the Monticello avenue
s~tationer, is very much afraid that he has
been swindled. Last September an agent of
the Holligan Illustrated Worlds Fair Com
pany of Chicago called on him and showed
him an excellent book on the recent Column
bian Exposition. Frank found a customer
who agreed TO take one and sent an order
for it to the Office of the company in Chi
cago, enclosing with it a check to pay for it.
This was in September, and as the book had
not arrived by the middle of October, War
burton wrote and asked why he had not re
ceived it. They answered IN October 81
acknowledging the receipt of the check and
making excuses for not sending the book,
saving that there was something the matter
with the bindery. Another letter written in
November brought a letter from them dated
November is, in which they said the books
would be forthcoming i'll the course of two
weeks. They didn't come and ON December
80 Warburton wrote them saying chat he
must have either the book or the check by
December 81. He has seen neither, therefore
he is beginning to believe he has been swim

Bright Home of Great Americans in

Bright Home of Great Americans in
the s'Settfn, Sun.o
The typical Americans nave all been West
ern men, with the exception, let us say, of
Washington. Washington had not had
much of European culture. The qualities
that made him a great commander and a
great President were qualities which would
nave made him an equally great from
tiersman. You cannot imagine Hamilton or
Madison, or Livingston, or John Adams, or
the Pinckneys living tolerably ON the from
tier. They are not Americans in the sense
in which Clay and jackson and Lincoln are
Americans. We may wish that the typical
Americans of the past had had more knowl-
edge, a more cultivated appreciation of the
value of what was old and established, q
juster view of foreign nations and
foreign politics.: that they had been
more like Webster and less like jackson;
and we may hope that the typical American
of the future viii be wiser and better pois ed.
But in the meantime the past is to be under
stood-and estimated as the facts stand, and
only a thoroughly sympathetic comprehen-
sion of these men who nave actually been
the typical Americans will enable us to
effect that purpose. The fact that Clay
rather than Webster. jackson and not John
Quincy Adams, represented the forces which
were really predominant and distinctively
American in our development is COM
mentary enough on any theory that makes
either of the peculiar sections of the Attain
tic seaboard the principal or only theatre of
American history.-Pfof. Woodrow Wilson

TERRAPIN A LA TRENTON.
How the Great Dish Was First Made
BY Thomas Cadwnlader.

HOW tine GFeat Dtsxf w as E1Fbb PAd0e
BY Thomas Cadwalader.
There is an interesting story connected
with terrapene a La Trenton, which was the
star dish at the recent Patriarchs' ball, New
York. Forty years ago the residents of Bal
timore ate terrapin steamed without a sign
Of seasoning. To most people such a dish
is wholly unpalatable. Two well known
ante-bellum goulmets of Baltimore, Thomas
Cadwalader, father of John Lambert Cad
walader, of this city, and William Chancel-
lor, of the old Virginian family of that
name, organized a club which made regular
pilgrimages to Trenton for the purpose of
eating terrapin in a palatable state, and
which called itself the Trenton Club. Mr..
Cadwalder compounded a recipe which the
other members of the club pronounced per-
feet. The dish was named terrapene a la
Trenton, in honor of the club. Soon the fish
became the popular dish at the Baltimore
and Philadelphia clubs, which at the time of
the war, were two in number. Augustine,
the colofed caterer of the Philadelphia elect
for thirty years, made terrapene a la Tren-
ton. which he sold for S. a quart to families
in Philadelphia and Baltimore, and soon
orders were sent on from this city, and until
a very few years 6 the successor of Angus
tine in Philadelphia monopolized the trade of
selling sealed cans OF terrapene a la Trenton
The colored caterer made enough money
from selling terrapene a La Trenton at s. a
quart to buy himself a handsome house in
Philadelphia, and leave his children conf
~paratlvely well off.

CAPTAIN FARRIER OFFENDED.
Won't DO Business in J Justice 0'DOn-

nelI,s Court.
Captain Fred 7. Farrier and Justice M. j.
O'Donnell are on the outs. Captain Farrier
alleges that Justice O'Donnell diregards com
plants of the police, and refuses to issue
warrants in cases demanding attention.
Yesterday complaint was made to Captain
Fafrier that William Winberry, a New
ark avenue butcher, was obstructing the
sidewalk with barrels. Captain Farrier
ordered the Instructions removed. His order
was not obeyed, and an officer was sent to
Justice O'Donnell to secure a warrant for
Winberry's arrest for violating a city ordin-
ance. Justice ODonnell, it is charged by
the Captain, refused to issue the warrant,
and now he wants to know by what author
ity Justice O'Donnell refuses. The Captain
is mad and will not do any more business
with Justice O'Donnell than he is compelled
to-
This morning when Motorman Grau, who
was in charge of the motor which collided
with and upset the movable platform at
York and Washington streets was arrested,
Captain Farrier ordered the man arraigned
before Justice of the Peace Davis. TIL Cap
tain explained his action by saying that the
law compelled the arraignment of a prisoner
before the nearest Justice. He said that jus
tice 0Donnells Court had adjourned. 1t had
not, however, and the impression prevails
that the Captain was aware of this fact.
Lively times may be expected.

POWDER MILL BLEW UP.

KINGSTON, N. Y, Jan. g., 1S94.-The Latin
& Rand powder mill at Rifton, ten miles
from this city, blew up this morning, and it
it reported four men were killed.
The explosion occurred in the works Of the
Lafin-Rand Powder Mills, in the building
known as the drying rooms, where
$50 kegs of powder exploded. This
was a frame building, S0x100, and
was torn in thousands of pieces.
2 P. M.-Gardiner Fredenburgh and
Joseph Sounder were torn in shreds, and
pieces of their bodies were picked up a quar-
ter of a mile away. The conclusion of the
explosion in the drying room exploded 200
kegs of powder in the Corning mill 200 feet
away and Michael Gibbs was burned to a
crisp in a second. Back of the drying room
was a brick boiler house, and this was shat
tered in pieces, and George. Kipp, the
boss of the powder makers, was
crushed to death. Several other buildings
were shaken and badly damaged. In diff
ferent places scattered near the works were
three magazines containing $4,000 kegs of
powder, but fortunately the powder did not
explode. None of the thirty employees be-
sides those killed were injured.
At R~osendale, three miles ava five plate
glass fronts were broken and hundreds of
panes of glass broken.

HISTORIC LIBERALISM.

Heine has justly valued the eternal in
fuence which the Jewish teachings and ira
ditions in the Bible nave had, and will have
in all times and climes. He, with all histo-
rians and mora1ists, has recognized the force
of Hebraisin, in whatever garb, III whatever
sect, it makes itself felt, as one of the re
ligious currents in civilized morality. And
it is ever to be wondered at how the Church,
which in every respect grew out out of
ancient Judaism; how the Protestant sects,
which owe their first light to it and to the
Talmad; how the Puritans, who drew from
it not only their religious but even their po-
litical Observation-Disclosures not have but the
kindliest feeling of reverence and piety for
whose whole essence as a people is based
upon the preservation of these immortal
documents. The Jews have been and are the
Old Testament transfused into flesh and
blood, capable of life and Of death and of
suffering that lies between the two. And
whoever has hurt them by word or deed, as
Jews, has besmirched and torn the leaves
of this great document, adding to it the
crime of cruelty in wounding the soul or
body of a fellow-man. And woe to him who
has the face to do this, in claiming for his
justification the spirit of love and charity
which inspires the writings of the New Testa-
mentt-7he Mission of the Je,us, Hafper's

LAWYERS SERIOUS CHARGE
A House Committee Appointed to
Hide Fraud, He Says.

~ SNyS e
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6, 1894.-It is rather
an unusual thing for an attorney to appear
before a prominent committee of the House
and charge that the members were appoint
ed for fraudulent purposes; yet this is what
occurred this morning.
The scene was the committee room OF
Naval Affairs. The gentleman making the
accusation was j.. Hale Synner of this
city, who formerly represented one of the
Louisiana districts in Congress. TIL COM
mittee referred to was the House Naval
committee. TIL subject of discussion was a
resolution offered by Mr.. Holman, of In
diana, On December Is last, which set
forth the fact that more than 81, 600, 900
had been paid out to contractors en-
gagged in the building of war-ships for
premiums; that the ships were so built as to
secure a higher speed than was required by
the contract, thereby permitting the on
tractor to earn. these extraordinary and
unjustifable premiums, and, therefore,
that the Committee IN Naval Affairs
is instructed to investigate the whole matter
thoroughly and to learn especially whether
through the COLLISION of any officer of the
government these premiums were secuI ed.
Nj. Snyder appeared in support of the
resolution, and when some of his statements
were controversial by members present, the
former holly retorted chat he believed that
the committee had been formed for
the express purpose of aiding the con-
tractors in securing these large premiums.
When Hulick, of Ohio, reminded Mr.. Sypher
that his accusation was a very grave one, he
replied that he would not withdraw it, and
specifically named Mr.. Hulick as one Of the
gentlemen who had been appointed on the
committee in pursuance of the desire to
benefit naval contractors.
AT this point the chairman of the COM
mittee read a letter that was personality
Cramp, the Philadelphia shipbuilder.
The letter bore the date of September 20.
1t was alleged to nave been written by
Sypher to Mr.. Cralnp and it contained var
Gus newspaper clippings and other data go
ing to show that the matter of premiums
was one likely to be investigated by Con
gress during the present session.

went to the house of Mrs. Ambia Body,
No. 6 West Fifty-eighth street on the after
noon of September %, and disappeared with
$4,000 worth of jewelry, the news of
which was first made public today, seems
to have left no clue for the police
to work on. Detectives are still
on the lookout for the thief; they think he is
one of the many criminals who have recently
come to this city. The police are inquiring
about him in other cities, to one of which he
is supposed to have fed with his booty.
HOODWINKED THE NAL
The thief introduced himself into Mrs.
Boody's house during her absence, by report
ing to the maid at the front doar that he
came on the order of the mistress Of the
house to make repairs in her bedroom and
bathroom. He was allowed to go up stairs,
and the chamberfnaid saw hin
begin to tinker with the water pipes in
the bath room. She then left him and heard
him hamnering, while She talked to other
servants in the kitchen. A bag the man
carried caused no suspicion because it was
supposed to contain his tools. 1t did con-

but, on finding the jewel casket locked and
the silverware all there, she gave up the sus-
picions aroused by the story of the maids.
