SEVEN PIGS OF COPPER
Jersey City Junlxmanss Books
Showed Suspicious Entries.


Peter Tuite, a junkman. was put on
trial in the General Sessions Court today.
The charge was that on March he re-
ceived 1000 pounds of copper from an
Erie Railroad freight car The copper
which was in seven pigs, had been shipped
from Jerome, Arizona to the Ansonia
Refining Company in Ansonia, Conn. It
arrived safely in the freight yard but
disappeared mysteriously The Refining
Company began to make enquiry about
it. Early in April the missing pigs ar
rived at the companys works in a
consignment of scrap copper shipped by
Kahn Brothers, of No. 552 East Nine-
teenth street New York The Kahns
were asked where they got them and they
said they bought them from Tuite.s
Detectives Dalton and Doyle were sent by
Chief Murphy to examine Tuitess books,
and ascertain if there was any entry of
the purchase of the copper. They were
unable to find any such entry. The Kahn
Brothers were called upon again and they
produced their books showing that they
purchased their copper from Tuite on
March 8. The detectives went bask to
Tuites and found that in the interval
he had made an entry in his books of
two purchases of copper, 4So, pounds, on
March 8, and 1859 pounds on March A.
The detectives looked for the persons
from whom the purchases we're alleged
to have been made, but could. not find
them at No. IL Railroad avenue. the adj
dress given in Tuitc's books. No such
person had ever been there.
After some evidence had been taken,
Prosecutor Winfield asked to have juror
Withdrawn and inistrial ordered as the
New York lawyer who had worked up
the case had not prepared it properly.
This WIS done and the trial went off
for the term.

fBy Gable to The Associated Press.1
BOMBAY, June "a. 1Ss7.--It now appears
that there was another attempt made on
Tuesday, Jubilee Day, against the life Of
d British officer. Lieutenant Owen Lewis
was fired at and wounded in the hand
while entering his mess on Tuesday even
Ing. He was on plague duty and it is un-
derstood that Lieutenant Ayerst, who is
a! Commissariat officer, was mistaken for
Lieutenant Lewis, when Ayerst and
Commissioner Rand were shot and fatally
wounded while leaving the Governors $
reception at Ganeshkind on Tuesday
evening Lieutenant Ayerst and Com
missioner Rand died of the wounds re-
ceived.
Mr.. Ross, the Cecil official who was
shot at Peshawur while returning from
the Jubilee fetes will also, it is feared,
sluccumb to his wound.
The attacks are classed as being due to
the vigorous plague measures adopted by
the Government.
It developed today that Plague Com
missioner Rand, who was shot at and
wounded by a native while leaving the
Governors reception, at Ganeshkind, on
Tuesday evening, at the same time that
Lieutenant Ayerst, of the Commissarlat
Corps, was killed. is not dead, as re-
ported last night. The Commissioner,

Freeborn Smith Loses d Fine
Wheel Through a Forged
Check-Chief Murphy's
Ignorance.

Freeborn Smith, the piano dealer Of
Montgomery street, added line of BIZ
cycles to his stock this spring. About a
week ago young man came into his
place and purchased a Wheel in payment
for which he rendered a certified check.
he was nice young man and said his
name was Charles Walker. The check
was apparently all right and the certifi-
cation was to all appearances In due and
proper form. and Mr.. Smiths represent
tative unhesitatingly accepted the check.
1t, however, turned out to be forgery
Then there was a time In Mr.. Smiths
establishment. The police We're notified
and Detective Dalton was detailed to the
case Whatever progress Dalton made
he kept to himself, and nothing was
heard from the foxy Mr. Walker
This morning one of Mr.. Smiths clerks,
who was present at the time the check
was given, was riding on North Hudson
car In Washington Village" when he
saw Walker on the car. He Immediately
went to the young man and told him that
he would have to go to Mr.. Smiths store
with him.
Mr. Walker made no objections but
rather encouraged the idea. Several po-
hcemen were passed on the way but no
effort was made by the clerk to turn Mr..
Walker over to them.
After they had ridden a short distance
Mr.. Walker proposed to tine clerk that
he take him to house which was be-
ing built on Arlington avenue. He knew
a stair builder there. he said who was
relative of his and who would make
the check good.
The clerk thought that the recovery OF
the money would please Mr.. Smith more
than sight of Walker, and so he agreed
to the proposition.
Arriving at the house on Arlington ave-
nue., Mr.. Walker led the clerk to- the
second floor in search of the stair build
er, and when the clerk was OF his guard
Mr.. Walker jumped through window,
taking sash and all with him. : He ran
down Arlington avenue to Ocean avenue
and caught trolley car, which rapidly
disappeared down Grand street toward
the ferry.
When the clerk recovered from his
surprise he rushed out of the new build-
ing and finding a telephone notified Mr..
Smiths store that Walker was on q

such e. transaction had taken place and
positively declared that nothing had de-

Justice Nevin issued warrant this
morning for the arrest of Henry Bader,
proprietor of Blewitt's Hotel, at No. 66S
Communipaw avenue. on the charge of
abandonment. When he is arraigned in
the Second Criminal Court tomorrow
morning, he will be accused of bigamy by
an alleged wife whom he left in Russia
seven years ago. Mrs Bader, who APP
peared before Justice Nevin this morning
and told her story through a Russian in
terpreter, alleges that her husband is nv-
ing at his hotel with a woman he married
in Milwaukee, Wis, year ago, after hav-
ing lived with her during the three years
previous as her common law husband.
When they were married, she alleges, Mrs.
Bader No 2 advanced the capital With
which Blewitt's Hotel was purchased
Mrs. Bader No. says she called at the
hotel recently and was warned off by
Mrs. Bader No. 2, who threatened to
break her head if she entered the place.
Wife No. also claims that Bader left
her in Riga, Russia, seven years ago af-
ter living with her seven years. He left
her with three children the eldest but
four years old He came to this coun-
try, and for five years eorresponded with
her and sent her occasional remittances.
Two years ago his letters ceased, and af-
ter that she heard little of him until a
few months SINCE when she learned that
he had married another woman and was
living with her in this city. She scraped
together all the money she could and
leaving her two younger children with
Bader's parents, came to this country
three months ago with her daughter,
aged eleven years, in search of her re-
calcitrant spouse She settled in a tene-
ment at No. 2s5 Henry street and sent for
her husband. He visited her several
times and gave her few dollars for her
support.
Each time he promised that he would
Immediately leave Mrs Bader No. and
return to his legal wife. She waited pa
tiently, but he failed to keep his promise.
Fhe last time he called he told her that
he would surely have to leave Mrs Bader
No. 2, as she is a Gentle and he is a Jew,
and the Jews have ostracized him ever
since he married her
Mrs. Bader No. says she has now
learned that he has no intention of keep
Ing his promise to return to her but is
qHfthe contrary, planning to sell his place
and leave this part of the country with
VII mife NO. on Saturday. As she is with
OUT means of support, Mrs Bader No /
wants her husband apprehended before
she loses trace of him
Mrs Bader showed Justice Nevin her
marriage certificate, which proves that she
was married to man named Bader in
riga, fourteen years ago. Poormaster
Hewitt Is interesting himself in the case.

caffery on the Course Of LegisIa-
ton IA Future Of the
Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, June "a, 1S97.-On the
opening of the Senate today there was
a mild passage between Mr.. Platt (New
York; and Mrs. Allen (Nebraska) The
former desired to place in the Record a
petition from the Manufacturers Asso-
citation of Brooklyn for the speedy pas
sage of the tariff bill.
Mr.. Allen objected to having petitions
go into the Record unless from a., State
Legislature of Executive department
Mr.. Platt thereupon accomplished his
purpose by reading the petition as part
of his remarks.
Mr.. Hale (Maine) then came forward
with surprise in the form of a
proposed amendment to the Senate
rules admitting to the privileges of
the floor of the Senate only
ex-Senators who are not interested in
any claim or in the prosecution of the
same, or directly in any bill pending be-
fore congress-" Added to the text Of the
proposed change is the following THE
purpose of the proposed amendment is to
prevent ex-Senators from enjoying the
privileges of the floor of the Senate for
the purpose or urging or opposing claims
or bills in which they are employd as at
torneys."
Mr. Hale said that'it was a matter of
satisfaction to renew the acquaintance
and the association of Senators who had
been members of the body, but he did not
think 1t was compatible with the dignity
Of the Senate that the privileges of the
floor should be used by gentlemen inter
ested in pending legislation. If there
were those to whom 1t did not apply, it
would do no harm, but, he feared, there
were those to whom it did apply He
thought he had observed enough to JUS
tify calling attention to the subject

Mr.. Hawley suggested that there might
be some obDjection TO any pointing out
of ex-Senators and Mr.. Allen asked what

Mr.. Hale asked that he be not request

Mr.. Allen declared that there had been
no more lobbying of late than there had
been for years. At one time he had in
troduced bill making it crime to come
on the Capitol grounds with a view to
lobbying on pending measures 1t was
at time when the pooling bill and other
measures were bringing lobbyists from
all parts of the country. Why not make
it a crime. covering all lobbyists, he
asked.
4 Mr.. Hale explained that he was not
seeking any such drastic Measure He
desired only to call the attention of the
Senate to the desirability of being re-
lieved Of lobbying on the floor. He re-
garded the opportunities of lobbyists of
