DEAD IN GLENDALE WOOD
Police Puzzled by the Dis
eovery Of a Deeayed Body
Clues Point to New
ark.

The police of the Fourth precinct are
confronted% with another mystery which
threatens to be a deep one. The body
of a man was found at 900 this morning
in Glendale Woods.
Patrolman Peer. of the Communipaw
venue station house, while walking on
C~ommunipay avenue beyond the Boule-
vard,s saw what HI supposed to be a
bundle of rags lying in the woods onsthe
south side of the t~horoughfare. He Walk
ed over and shook the rage up with his
club. The moment he touched the bun
die he realized that he had found the
body of a man in an advanced stage Of
decomposition.
The body was removed to Speer's Nor
que. There examination disclosed what
appeared to be a wound on the side Of
the head, but it was difficult to determine
whether it was caused by decay or by a
blow.
The police have no clue as to the cause
of the mans death. One possibility is that
he fell sick suddenly, and falling or lying
down there died without anyone observ-
ing him. Another possible explanation
is that he was killed or fatally injured
by some of the toughs who haunt the
neighborhood. The police also think it
possible that the body was recently
placed in the Glendale Woods. the man
having died elsewhere. They think it
would ave been discovered sooner If it
had been lying there since death took
place.
Detective Hottie. of the Communipaw
avenue station house. is thinking on the
case. The man appeared TO be about
fifty-five years old and five feet ten
inches in height. He wore a light mixed
suit, and is thought to have been re-
specially dressed. The body weighed
200 pounds
A ehild's gold ring set with a Clipped
diamond was found on him, and a fedora
hat was found on the ground near the
body bearing the mark, "Babcock. Halter,
Newark, N. j."
The phase where the body was found
is the exact neighborhood in which
Joseph Ellison and his wife were as
saulted by a gang. of toughs on Labor
Day. There nave been several robberies
along the Plank Road of late.

LEHIGE'S NEW 0RDINANoE
Many Who Formerly Oppos d tn,
Crossing, laid 20 Favor II Now.

Many who Formeriy Oppos d the
Crossing, Said TO Favor 1t Now.
1t was said at the Office of the Street
and Water Board this morning that the
new ordinance introduced for the relief
Of the Greenville and Hudson branch of
the Lehigh Valley Railroad to cross Com
munipaw avenue. will probably be put on
it's final passage at next Tuesdays meet
ing.
Many people owning property in the
neighborhood Of the proposed crossing
who were very much opposed to it, have,
it is said, been shown the injustice OF
their opposition.
Commissioner Kaiser, who introduced
the new ordinance, has been waited on by
several residents of the Lafayette sec
ton, and they have told him that they
believe the operation Of the new line
will prove beneficial rather than other
wise. Owners of houses in tina section
which have been untenanted for months,
are now urging Mr.. Kaiser to act as
quickly as possible, giving as their rea-
son that the enlargement of the com
pany's terminal yards and increased
shipping facilities will bring new men to
the city, give work to the unemployed
anu suoSequently make tenants Tor tfielr
houses.
Mayor Wanser has received letters from
several prominent Lafayette property
owners, IN which they. say they have
withdrawn their objections to the cross
ing. Among the writers arc. y.
H. Brinkerhoff, c. Howard Slater, Col.
w. b. Mason. John Haesloop, James Stew
ems and Albert Vreeland.
Yesterday a delegation of property
owners inspected the partially constructed
line of the new railroad. From Bayonne
the tracks are laid on a trestle crossing
at least a dozen streets overhead before
reaching Communipaw avenue. The
grade of the trestle Is such. however,
that it was shown by an engineer who
was in the party, that Communipaw ave
nue. has to be crossed at grade in order
to avoid a grade crossing with the Cen
trail railroad. which it was admitted
would be more dangerous than the cross
ing of the street.
There are on file with the Street and
Water Commissioners many letters re-
questing that the ordinance be granted
so that the work can be finished and the
street put in proper condition before cold
weather sets in.
In anticipation of securing the privilege
to cross the avenu without further op-
position. the company has set a large force
of men at work filing In about the trestle
and improving the lower n of Johnston
avenue as requested by the Street and
Water Commissioners.

Judge Hudspeth down to a petit juror,
and read to them this opinion Of the

writ of error was taken. The Court, in
granting a new trial. said:

Interesting Suit Against an Indorser
of n Promfssory Nete.

An interesting suit against the accom-
modating endorser'' of a promissory note
was tried yesterday afternoon before
Lippincott. It was that of the

lsh a silk mandatory in the United
States.
Some time ago the corporation became
financially embarrassed and it made two
notes, one for 5000 and the other for
$4,000, which were discounted by the CO.
lunhfa Bank These notes were endorsed
by Hugo s.. Adam, secretary eff the cor
poration, the firm and Miss Emilia Mey-
erburg was the last endorser.
When the notes fell due they were not
taken up n accordingly went to pro-
test. A suit against the last endorser,
Miss Meyerburg, was brought by the
bank. which was represented yesterday
on the trial of the cause by Mr.. Isaac s.
Taylor. Messrs. George G. Tenant and
Maurice Marks were for the defendant.
The defense set up shat when the notes
We're protested the notary public made no

bank was non-suited. They will appeal.

Hints on swimming.

The beginner should not try to swim
snv long distance at first. AS soon as he
finds that he can keep his body floating
easily on the water by means of the
strokes he has learned. he should aim to
perfect his form rather than aim to cover
long distances. Tn stroke which has
just been described is technically called
the forward breast stroke, and although
there are a great many other kinds of
strokes in swimming, this is the easiest
of all strokes to learn. and the one that
Is most generally used, except, perhaps,
for racing.
One of the most common of the fancy
strokes is the overland stroke. This is
performed by placing the body on the
right side, with the legs held out behind
perfectly straight. Ont leg is then brought
up In front and the other is lifted up be-
hind, and the next motion Is to bring them
together with a swift, scsssorslike motion.

the meantime the right hand is moved
out in front and brought down through
the water as far as the left thigh, while
the left han passes out of the water
from the rear forward, and is drawn back
similarly through the water, thus pulling
the body ahead. just as one might pun
