WRITING ON THE STREET.
A Little Chiid,s Cries Bring Help to
Mrs. RrauDack

Shortly before midnight last night Po-
liceman Frank Monahan of the Seventh
street station, while patroling Grove
street, near the Hoboken line, was start
led by hearing child crying piteously
He ran in the direction from which the
sound came, and at Grove and Eigh-
teenth streets found a woman lying on
the sidewalk writhing In convulsions
Monahan at first imagined that the cries
came from some unfortunate who had
wandered into the swamps. Where he
found the woman was almost opposite
where William Carlson, the carpenter
narrowly escaped losing his life the night
before by becoming mired in the
swamps.
Monahan endeavored to relieve the suf-
fering woman, but to no avail. Her child
bright little girl, about four years old
clung to her neck tenaciously and re-
FUSED to be dragged away by the police
man, who feared that the little tot would
be injured by its mother, who rolled and
with considerable force.
Monahan finally summoned an amb,1-
lance and caused the removal of the
woman and child to the City Hospital
She recovered at that institution in short
order. She said she was Mrs. Annie
Branback of No. PAS Central avenue. She
had been to this part of the city visiting
frends, and was on Grove street watt
Ing for car in which to ride to Ho-
boken when she was seized with CON
yulsicns. Mrs. Branback was taken home
by relatives today.

for better Fire Protection.


|. A mass meeting for the purpose of urg-
ing better protection against fire for the
people of Hoboken was held last night
at Burgers Hall, at Third and Adam
streets, under the auspices Of the Third
Ward German-American Independent
Citizens Association.
The notices for the meeting were given
out a week ago. Since then the Common
Council has passed an ordinance, on first
reading, providing for the construction
of new fire house, and consequently
there was not much agitation at the
meeting.
James Lynch, Secretary of the Asso-
citation, presided. Before the meeting was
called to order Lawyer Alexander g.
Young made few remarks on the ne
cessity of more fire apparatus in the city.
He said the new fire house could not be
erected too soon.
Secretary Lynch said that as the Coun-
ell had decided to erect new fire house
there was not much to say on the sub
ject. He advocated that the new COM
pany be located in the Third Ward.
Councilman ]. Londrigan and several
other citizens also spoke.
At the conclusion of the meeting it
stitute himself a committee Of one to
see the different Councilmen and try and
induce them to place the new fire house
somewhere in the Third ward below
Clinton street, and between Fourth and
Fifth streets.

AROUND THE WORLD IN A WAGON
Edward Schmit,s Design for svIndl.
Ing PEOPLE,

Edward Schmit, of No. 4s West
Twenty-seventh street. New York, a
salesman. was committed by Justice
Potts this morning for attempting to
swindle three young men who described
themselves as Oliver Mcpherson, Of No.
1l6 claremont avenue, Brooklyn; Edward
Parrish Of No. 134 Henry street, Brooklyn,
and Henry Laucke of No. SO First avenue,
New York.
A few days ago Schmit advertised in a
New York newspaper for bright, well
educated young man understanding pho
tograph and who had money. His adver-
tisement directed that letters be sent to
the newspaper boxes. He answered let
ters written him by the three men who
complained against him and arranged to
meet them in Taylor's Hotel at different
times. Detective McNally happened to
be in the billiard room of the hotel yes
terday afternoon. His attention was at
tracted to man who was busily en-
gagged going through big bundle of mail
McNally watched him and in few min
utes he was Joined by first one man and
then another until three had held whis-
pered conversations with him. McNally
finally arrested him, took him to Police
Headquarters and with him the three
young men he had been chatting with.
The prisoner was Schmit and when he
was searched 1t was found that he had
more than hundred answers to his ad-
vertisement in his possession. His scheme.
as learned from Parrish, Laucke and Nc
Pherson, was to make a tour of the
world with a horse and buggy. He said
that such trips had been made on BIZ
cycles and on foot but never by horse and
carriage. By making the trip and re-
turning with the rig in good shape he was
to receive $4,000. All he wanted was
sufficient money to buy the outfit. Laucke
and Parrish had no money nor could they
get very much. Schmit'S interest in them
ceased at once.
y Mcpherson, however, said he could get
81, 900 readily for such an enterprise. He
was the man Schmit wanted. To him
carriage built which they could take
apart and carry. In getting over noun
tains the carriage was to be carried and
the horse led. The object in having some
one along who understood photography
was to take pictures and sell them. AL
that Mcpherson was to do to become a
partner in the enterprise was to give
Schmit $500 of the 81, 900. Schmit was to
add $500 and procure the necessary outfit
Schmit admitted to Chief Murphy this
morning that the scheme was not very
brilliant one, but he said he thought he
would be able to "land' some one with
money. He practically admitted that he
had no intention Of going around the
world. He wanted money he said, and
knew of no other way to get it. The
Chief believes the prisoner is an all
around SWindler and crook.
