Orders to Gen, Shafter TO Send All
Troopships North Disobeyed.

Washington, Aug 12.-Intense dissat-
isfaction and Indignation were ex-
pressed by war department officials

time ago before any of the vessels that
are the cause of the dissatisfaction had

SLEPT In A CEMETERY.
Weir When Evlcted Spent Two
Nights Among T0mbstones.


New York, Aug. 12.-In the lower end
are two dilapidated houses which form
erly belonged to Ralph Stacom. but
which last year fell in the hands OF the
borough for back taxes. In order to
make the property pay they rented the
two houses. About five months ago
one OF the houses became vacant and in
the other lived Mrs. l.. M. Vousden and
three children, John Brown, wife and
son and John Weir. The property was
not given proper care and consequently
it had very shabby appearance.
a committee from the council, James
McNabb. William w. Smalley and Da-
vid Hastings, last week told the tenants
they had to move by Monday. None of
them left, and OH Monday afternoon the
three tenants had their household
goods removed from the building into
the back yard.
The Brown and Vousden families
found shelter with relatives. Weir was
left without a home. He slept i'm the
cemetery during the drenching rain
Monday and Tuesday nights till sym
pathizers carried him back into the
house about 3 O'clock Wednesday morn
ing and told him to stay there.
Several persons in town call the evic-
tion such an inhuman act that they
are willing to back Weir in suit
against the town. Weir is about 80
years old. poor and rheumatic. He has
lived in Bound Brook more than so
years and is known by nearly every
body in the county.

TOOK ALL The MONEY.
And Later on Bill Collector Irving
Was Arrested For Doing So.

Nathan r. Irving, bill collector. was
arrested in a civil action brought
against him by John Ashton today. Mr..
Ashton is an employe OF the Gorham
Manufacturing company, and Irving
got possession of bill against him, and
after some discussion Ashton says he
agreed to have Irving draw 81 a week
from the companys office until the bill
was settled.
Irving drew all the money that was
coming to Ashton. and inside of a cou-
pie of days the family of the latter,
which Is a large one, and one member
of which Is an infant in its mothers
arms, was I'm very wretched circum-
stances. Mrs. Ashton, after being In
need OF food for q couple of days,
sought the services of Attorney Chas.
H. Page and the latter at once begun
proceedings to recover 80 that Irving
wrongfully took. Irving pleaded that
he was not to blame, as he only did
what another collector told him to do.
but he had to go with Deputy Sheriff
Andres until he secured bail. There are
some pretty ugly stories afioat about
crooked actions by collecting agencies,
and arrangements are under way TO
make some of the guilty ones suffer.
