PAKIR GOT WEALTH BY FRAUD
Won a Woman's Heart and Aid In
Couutarfpff5n0

A Sheriff's jury has awarded $4,000 dam
ages to the Munyon Homeopathic Rem
edy Company in its suit against an Ar
menian named Ferron, alias Ferole, for
counterfeiting their goods. Ferron is now
in Ludlow street jail. When arrested he
was deeked out with So. 900 worth of jew
els. Up to last year he had plodded along
in obseurity as a street fakir ana patent
medicine agent.
In October, by some Dold operating, he
gathered in several thousand dollars. He
won the heart of Miss Louis Bubson, fore
woman in the Muflyon factory, at Phila-
delphia, and did not tell her of his wife
and several children. She went to live
with him at Prohibition Park, S. i.
They started a factory, under the name
OF Ferron & Curtis, Miss Bubson repre-
senting the latter partner. Ferron got a
printer named Abraham Strauss, OF No.
lzO East thirteenth street, to do the nee
essary printing Of false labels, and from
q homeopathic chemist in Forty-second
street he purchased two barrels Of sugar
pellets. He had been operating some six
months when the Munyon Company dis
covered the fraud.
Ihe Armenian was arrested. He had
made all arrangements to start for South
America with a circus compary that he
bad organized, and for which ne had pur-
chased thirty trick horses.

A NEW METHOD OF SOIL CULTURE
An Interesting Movement That
Promises Great Things.

An interesting movement is in progress
that promises great things for agriculture
in the sub-arid belt of scanty rainfall. A
scientific farmer in South Dakota is ZEAL
ousiy advocating a, theory of special meth
DDS OF soil culture, which is attracting a
great deal of interest and is being put to
pracllcal tests in various localities. His
IDEA Is to make better use Of the mois-
ture that falls in showers by storing ii.
SO lar as pOsSTble, just below tlle roots of
the W crops and preventing its too
RAPID evaporation. To This end he has in
vented a sort of c~ultiyator that packs the
ground a few inches below the surface so
that a considerable amount of wafer will
pe held above the subsoil. Then. acting
on the Known fact that capillary attrac-
ton and consequent EVAPORATION take
race soil is firm and baked by the heat
thah when it is loose, he Stirs up the slIT-
race by repeated working with another
sort CT ~cuitivator. This second process is
SaSy enough with corn and root crops,
puL ne proposes. to employ it with wheat,
sowing the grain in rows and tiIlirg the.
nelds by q machine specially designed far

AN UNSAFE BRIDGE.
The One Over the Canal at Pacific
= Avenue Closed to Heavy Traffic.

: Avenue Closed 10 Heavy Trafsie.
The bridge over the canal at Pacific
avenue has for some time been deemed
unsafe for general traffic and drivers
have been warmed not to drive over it
at a faster pace than a walk. Lately
the officials of the Consolidated Trac-
ton Company have become alarmed at
its condition mad the company's engin-
GERS made an investigation and report
ed that it was no longer fit for traffic.
Then the attention of County Superin-
tendent c. P. Smith was called to the
matter and yesterday afternoon he. in
company with several of the Traction
Company's officials, including the engin-
GERS, tested the bridge. At the conciu-
sion of the investigation he ordered the
bridge closed from heavy traffic and ac-
cordingly a rope was stretched across
each entrance.
The residents of the Lafayette section
ing of the bridge this morning. The
Court House car on its down trip turns
into Grand street at the Junction, trans
,ferring passengers to a car which con-
tinues through Lafayette as far as the
bridge, where all hands must alght,
walk across the bridge and over Pacific
avenue to Grand street, where a car
fer the ferry can be taken. This causes
a delay of about fifteen or twenty min
utes. Considerable grumbiing was done
over the management of the cars. The
bridge will be braced and will be opened
for traffic again in the course.of a week.

MULOAHY'S REVENGE.
Refused q Drink He Has the Saloon
keeper Arrested.

John f. Campbell. a saloonkeeper of
No. 1858 Ocean avenue, was arrested this
morning by Detective Egan of the Green
vile police station ON complaint of Frank
Mulcahy, of No T9 Ocean avenue, who
charges him with two offenses. One was
violation of the excise law and the other
assault and battery.
Campbell pleaded guilty to the latter
charge, but denied the first one. He said
that he was treating a friend who had
called upon him. from Elizabeth on Sunday
morning when Mulcahy, who was a lodger
in the same house in which is located the
saloon, came in and wanted to buy a
drink. He refused to sell it to him. Null
cahy became abusive and he ordered him
out. Mulcahy refused to go and he elected
him by force. Campbell claims that re-
venge is the motive for his arrest.
Judge Douglass found him guilty of the
assault and battery charge, but under. the
circumstances attending the affair sus-
pended sentence upon payment of costs,
and fined him So and costs for keeping
open on Sunday. Campbell paid the SIS.
