TRIED TO STOP THE MARRIAGE
Louisa CRETE Persecutes Her Former
E.oyer In rFoboken.

Lover III n
The Circuit Court some time asq
awarded TO Louisa Crete, a servant az
that time in the employ of a family on
Park avenue. Hoboken. SS,z9o IN q sur
for breach of promise against Butoner
H. w. Schmidt. The money was never
paid to her. Louisa, however, haa no IN
ention of letting 1t rest, or Schiniat'
either. and hardly a week passed that
she has not visited Schmidts shop on
Park avenue and demanded tnae ne
either pay her or marry her. Schrhlae
paid no attention to her, and let her can
whenever she pleased.
She learned early last week thai ne
was going to be married last sunday,
and she determined, if possible, to pre-
vent the marriage. Accordingly, sne
visited his fancee and told her tnat
Schmidt was one of the wickedest men
thai ever lived. and assailed his CHAR
acter in an outrageous manner. The
bride-elect, however, received the infor-
nation with scorn, and told her Romeo
that no matter what anyone said ABOUT
him she would not believe 1t.
Miss Crete continued her daily visits
RI Schmidt. and threatened him with all
kinds of trouble if he married anyone
else but her. Schmidt laughed at her;
and when Sunday came he was married
at his residence on Park avenue
Miss Crete was on the street in front
made several attempts to get in, but
was only prevented by a huge PONCE
man, who was stationed at the door.
Monday, she called at the house n
again assailed Schmidt. who said nothing
until she mentioned his wires name
and then he got mad and talked back;
Louisa went away, but returned the next
day with blood in her eye, and a large
horse whip under her wrap. Going to
the butcher store, she was about to give
Schmidt a cowhiding when a policeman
strolled by, and she changed her mind.
Schmidt told her If she didn't leave the
city he'd have her locked up. He gave
her some money, n she went away
apparently satisfied, and secured lodg-
ings in Forsyth street, New York.
But she did not let Schmidt remain In
peace very long, and back again she came
last night, He took no nonsense from
her that time and had her arrested. She
was arraigned before Justice Rusch.
who discharged her upon her promising
never to bother Schmidt or his wife
again.

HI SALE ACCIDENTAL.
Lawyers Laughing over h City's
E8uying the County Buildings.

Buying the County Buildings.
The sale of the County Cou House,
Jail and Hall of Records for unpaid
assessments by City Collector Smith ap-
pears TO have been accidental. 1t APP
pears that no one knew that the prop
erty had been sold and bought in by the
city until it was too late to prevent the
complications which have now arisen.
A like case has never occurred in this
State, and lawyers decline to discuss
the probable outcome. Corporation
Counsel Blair and Counsel McGrath of
the F~reeholders propose holding a con-
sultation and adjusting matters AMIGA
bly,. Corporation Counsel Blair regards
the situation as amusing. In speaking
of it this morning he said:-
81 do not believe the sale would have
taken place had it been understood that
the county buildings were. being sold.
County property generally is exempt
from taxation, but I cannot say at this
time whether the law makes a like dis
tinction in the matter of assessments for
improvements. 1t seems TO me, how
ever, that if the property is not taxable
tina it is not reasonable to suppose as
sessments should be levied against it.
However. an assessment has been levied
and stands as a lien against the prop
erty, and unless there is a law which
will permit that assessment to be set
aside, the only way the county can pro-
cure a perfect title to the property is
by paying the city the amount u 1

PLEADING FOR MERCY.
Allan MeDermott's Argument
Before the Supreme Court
In the Gutenberg Race
Track Case.
Specialto The jersey CITY Meas.

TRENTON, Nov. is. 1Ss4.-In the Su-
preme Court. yesterday, before Justices
Dixon, Magic and Lippincott. Allan Nc
Dermott, counsel for John N. Crusius,
]. C. Carr, Dennis Mclaughlin ana
Gottfried walbaum, the owners and
managers of the Gutenberg race track,
made a plea for l~eniency in sentence.
The men pleaded guilty to maintaining
a track when before the Hudson County
Court, but the matter was referred to
the Supreme Court. No sentence was
imposed yesterday, but as soon as the
Judges agree the VIII De
brought into court.
MR.. McDERMOTT'S ARGUMENT.
Allan McDermott, in his contention,
claimed that the keeping of a race
track was not a misdemeanar at the
time of complaint, owing to the passage
of the law of 1893. Prior, he said, to
1880, it was a crime to bet on a horse
race in the State of New Jersey. but
the act of that year was passed for the
benefit of the Monmouth Park track.
81 cannot contemplate the course of
legislation from 1880 to 1885," he said;
Legislation which received the approval
of Governors. Senators and Assembly
men, who have since been honored with
the highest honors within the gift of
New Jersey, without thinking that this
State has not always taken an attitude
of opposition to betting on horse races,
without concluding that the judgment
would not be wholly wrong which
should declare that the legislation of
New Jersey had invited the doing of
just such things as the defendants were
indicted for.
ACT OF 1894.
"By the act Of 1884, the legislation of
this State is. for the first time in four
teen years, in full harmony with adju-
cation which prohibits pookmaking. I
am speaking of the spirit, not of the
letter of the law. of the intention of
the lawmakers as expressed in the ad-
vocacy of their work. however different
from that intent judicial Interpretation
found in that work. The State said that
it should not be a crime to bet on
horse racing; the State repealed the
law which made such betting a crime,
and thereupon, enormously believing
that it would not be a crime to keep or
own the places where such betting was
done, men invested millions of dollars
in race tracks, to learn that, while it is
not a crime to visit a race track and bet
on the races there. 1t was a crime to
keep the place where the public was
invited to do such betting"

EMERALD MINING
Some OF the Dangers That Are Eek
perienced i'm Securing tile Gems.

Few persons who are familiar with en-
erals in their cut and mount state have
any idea of the difficulties experienced by
those who would traverse that part of the
Andes where lie the celebrated mines of
Muse. The scenery Is OF extraordinary
beauty, but in two days riding thetray-
eler is obliged to follow some of the most
dangerous mountain passes. and to make
his way over precipices where a single
false step would dash him to destruction.
The emerald mines lie in a basin sur
rounded by high mountains in the form
of a circle. These mines are now the
property of the Government of Columbia,
which rents them to a company employ
ing five or six oYerseers and about 400
native workmen. A
The means used for working them are
very primitive, but they yield every year
a large amount of precious stones. which
are Immediately shipped to Europe. The
band of rock containing the precious
crystals is more than one thousand feet
high. formed of black shale yeined with
pyrites of iron. verW few elneralds are
found In the black stone. but by cutting
down the face of the immense precipice
veins of white stone are uncovered. this
carbonate of lime. The efneralds are
sometimes embedded, and sometimes
found in hollow cavities, and the work
of cutting down the side of the rock
is done by the natives. mostly with a
cfowbar.
A piece of rock a yard wild is selected
running the, whole length of the mine
on the top; this Is cut down a few yards
and then another level of the same is
begun again at the top, until the whole
breast of the rock appears to be monster
staircase, the broken rubbish having
been thrown down to the bottom of the
preeipice.
On the bank opposite the spot where
the emeralds are taken out a stream of
water is kept running by means of sluices
opened every fifteen minutes, the water
is allowed to rush down the rocks with
great force, the torrent clearing away
all the broken stone thrown down by
the miners since the last discharge

TRENTON, Nov. Is. 1894.-Chief JUS
