MUNYON WINS
Secures q Large Verdict Against a
Counterfeiter
Made a Largo Sum of Money-Coun-
terfeited Munyon's Labels, Boxes
and Remedies - Accomplice
Woman.

The Munyon Homeopathic Remedy
company of Philadelphia was awarded
on Monday a verdict of $50, 900 damages
in it's suit against an American named
FerrOn. alias Ferole, for counterfeiting
its goods.
Ferron was until October of last year
travelling patent medicine agent, but
by a bold move succeeded in making
good many thousand dollars since that
time. He conceived the idea of counter
feiting the boxes and labels used by the
Munyon company, and with the help Of
New York printer, Abraham Strauss,
succeeded in producing thousands of
them.
Mr.. Ferron succeeded in winning the
affections of Miss Louisa Bubser, then
forewoman in the Munyon factory at
Philadelphia. Miss Bubser was induced
to live with him at Prohibition Park, s.
l., and they started a factory at that
place under the name of Ferron & Cur
tbs, Miss Bubser representing the latter
member of the firm
The business prospered, as we'll It
might, because of the generous adver-
tising of the Munyon company, and the
profits were large.
The printed matter executed by Abra-
ham Strauss was an excellent imitation
of the original designs, and the counter
felt could not be detected from the gen.
uine by the purchaser.
Upon the discovery Of the counter
feiting, the Munyon company at once
began action against Ferron and Miss
Bubser. They were both arrested. In
addition to the verdict for damages
heretofore mentioned, Miss Bubser was
sentenced to six months imprisonment
Ferron is still in custody. His case will
come up on Monday next when convic
ton is expected.
When arrested Ferron had a large
quantity of jewelry in his possession. He
had also invested some money in thirty
circus horses which he was about to take
to South America to conduct a circus
The action of the Munyon company in
settling the fakirs is very commendable.

THE FENCE WAR.
The Westwoods Charged With Malicious
Mischief and Battery.


Open war has been declared between
the Martin and Westwood families, on
Philadelphia street and hostilities may
break out at any moment.
On Tuesday a preliminary skirmish
took place, when Mrs. M L. Martin and
her brother were arrested on the charge
of threats to kill'' and were released on
their own recognizances by Justice
Young. Yesterday Mrs. Martin swore
to complaint charging the entire West
wood family-and 1t Is a large one
with malicious mischief in tearing down
her fence. James, Belle, Mary Ellen,
Lizzie and Jennie Westwood and John
Doe and Richard Roe were included in
the complaint and will have to answer
for 'maliciously severing from the free
hold of Mrs. Martin certain fences" on
the boundary line between the Martin
and Westwood properties.
1t appears that the Westwoods desire
to put up a fence between their house
and their neighbor, Mrs Martin, but the
latter claims that they have encroached
some five or six inches onto her property
Inasmuch as the cottages are very close
together five inches of space is not to be
ignored. particularly when the fence
being put up is about ten feet high and
obstructs the light from entering the
windows. Mrs. Martin has had a sur
veyor at work and upon his say so she Is
showing fight; while the Westwoods
claim that for five years they have held
possession Of the present ground. And
so the matter stands. AS fast as the
Westwoods put up portion Of fencing
the opposition pull it down. Yesterday
afternoon Belle and Jennie Westwood
exhibited their pugnacity in such man.

and Dugas Of the crime and kept close
watch upon them, being rewarded yes
terday afternoon by seeing them, in
company with Christopher, walking up
along the river bed on the east side, one
Of them carrying bundle. The officer
was on the west side of the river and
kept abreast of them, hidden by trees
and underbrush. Finally the trio halt
ed and sat down on the ground; the
bundle was unwrapped and box Of ci-
gars disclosed, which they divided and
transferred to their pockets, smashing
the box with a stone and burying it un-
der some loose sand.
While thus engaged McKeag had Sc
cured the assistance of Officer Craig, who
made a flank movement and got in the
rear of the men while the sergeant walk
ed toward them. AS the fellows saw the
officer approaching they ran, but only
into the arms of Craig, who placed them
under arrest. When searched at the
station their pockets were found cram
med with cigars; the broken box was
dug up from where they had buried it
and was identified as portion of the
property stolen from one of the stores.
The rest of the plunder has not been
found vet. it being hidden away, and
the boys refusing to disclose it's where
abouts.
The three youths were booked on
charges of burglary, and it is expected
that at least one of them will break
down and make a full confession. HAM
ilton and Dugas reside on the east side,
Christopher in the heart of the city.
This latter youth is a Whittier gradu-
ate, being out on parole from that in
stitution. where he was sent some time
ago for stealing harness. All have been
under police surveillance for some time,
and would have been arrested long ago
but for lack of evidence on which to
convict. although the officers were NOR
ally convinced of their guilt.

AN AUsTRIAN's TROUBLE
Suffering From. Hallucinations, He Is
Committed to Highland

Upon complaint Of his wife, James
Lepsche was yesterday examined before
Judge York as to his mental condition.
This poor fellow occupies the curious
position Of one who knows that his mind
is unhinged, and yet is powerless to over
come the fearful imaginings that alright
him.
For a year past the patient has been
mildly insane, but lately his derange-
ment has taken an acute form. He i'm
agines people are trying to kill him, at
such times, all food is repulsive to him,
for he imagines it contains poison.
Lepsche is an Austrian, and has two sis
ters who suffer from mental trouble; he
is So years of age and has been in the
employ of s. Maier as a butcher.
He was ordered committed to High
land.

ED ATLEE'S LUCK,
The Court Used to Recover Property
Rather Than Punish the Individual

Edward Atlee, who was brought back
from the north to answer several
charges of embezzlement, has been play
ing in good luck. Yesterday morning
the charge preferred against him by F.
NJ Curtis was inquired into in the town
ship court, and ended in the case being
dismissed. 1t was shown that partner
ship existed between the defendant and
Curtis. and so the charge Of embezzle-
ment fell to the ground.
Later in the1day Henry Sprinz appear
ed before Assistant District Attorney
Williams and swore to a complaint
charging Atlee with embezzleing four
gold rings, one locket and one gold
watch, altogether valued at $43. The
complaint being drawn Sprinz was ad-
vised to file it in the city Justices court
inasmuch as the amount was below the
sum of $50. Sprinz however, saw At to
file it in the township court, and as Atlee
returned the articles in question: and
quieted Sprinz down that prosecution
also fell to the ground.

arrived in the city yesterday The bids

take the engineers several days to figure
up the various propositions and make
the awards. The results will be an
nounced as early as possible, as Mr.
Hammond is anxious 10 push the work
as rapidly as can be.
In conversation with an Astorian rep

mond stated that owing 10 the shortness
OF time it would now be a very difficult
matter to have the depot and grounds at
Scow bay ready for the summer travel
but that trains would Ire runnio Y into the
city from Seaside very soon, whether
they got up as far as scow bay or not.
1t is difficult 10 realize the amount of
work which will be necessary in order to
put trains through the city. Everything
must be built on piles. and the work for
the foundations OF the depot and side
tracks, wharyes aud turnIable will cost
ten times as much a. the building itself
There will also be a small rouad house
