The gold standard crowd is on
the run. The stampede began be-
fore the adoption of the Teller
resolution by the Senate, but the
knowledge that resolution would
be adopted, as well as the advice Of
the Republican Senators and Rep
resentatives from the middle west,
convinced Mr.. Mckinley that the
gold standard business would not
go down, and that his party's only
hope was to make play to keep
the bimetalllsts from deserving the
Repu blican party in a body. The
game was stared when Mr.. Preston,
Director Of tho U. s. Mint, who
had made himself particularly OBJ
noxious to the silver men by his
obtrVslye advocacy Of the gold
standard, both undcr the Cleve-
land aud the present administra-
ton, and whose work IN that direc
ton was referred to by Senator
Woicott in his recent speech, was
bounced and the position given to
a Republican bimetallst from Iowa.

MAILLY DISCHARGED.
Policeman Dropped for Work
ing Against Regular Re-
publican Candidates.


Thomas Mailly, the Republican who
made such az fight against Jack Graham
and Louis Steubenvoll in the Ninth ward,
has been dismissed from the Police De-
partment for the part he took in the
campaign Prior to election Mailly would
say nothing about his dismissal for fear
of rejecting discredit upon his party. His
fight was not against the Republican
party but against the Graham-S m-Steubenvoll
crowd Now that election is over, how
ever. Mailly is willing to talk about the
manner in which he was treated.
He says that about a month prior to the
election he asked for an extended leave
of absence and that he was asked for his
shield and keys. He never received any
answer 70 his request. Chief of Police
Murphy when seen this morning said:
''Aailly has been dropped from the rod
of the Police Department. He was a
chanceman, or auxiliary member Of the
force, not full fiedged patrolnan. A
month ago he reported sick and was ex-
cused from duty. The rule of the de-
partment is that when a policeman IS sick
he must remain in the house unless given
permission to leave by the Police Surgeon.
Two days after Mailly applied for sick
tioneering. II he prefers mixing up in
politics to attending to police business
there is no place for him in the depart
ment. AS soon as / heard of his action
I ordered Captain Farrier TO demand his
shield and keys and dropped him.

BAD RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.
Driver and Occupant OF Carriage
Severly Injured.

A bad runaway accident occurred on
Monticello avenue shortly before noon to-
day Mrs Mary Purcell of No. 1876 Sec
ond street, was returning home from
funeral at the New York Bay Cemetery,
in coach belonging to Undertaken Rich
ard Duff, of No 81 Newark avenue, and
driven by John Logan. of No. 2S5 Mer-
Ger street On Monticello avenue, near
Communipaw avenue, the horses became
frightened and made a dash down Month
cello avenue. Logan lost control of the
animals. They tore along, causing pedes-
trians and vehicles to flee before them.
Near Brinkerhoff street the horses dashed
towards the gutter and were brought to
a sudden stop by the wheels of the coach
coming in contact with lamp post. The
collision threw the horses on their
launches. The coach was badly wrecked.
Logan was pitched headforward from
his seat and landed on the sidewalk. He
was badly cut and bruised about his head
and shoulders. Mrs Purcell was badly
shaken UP during the dash down the ave-
nue.. When. the collision occurred she
was thrown against the window of the
coach. Her head went through the glass
and her face was cut by the sharp edges.

FORTUNE TELLER'S SUIT.
Mrs. Schrumf Asks to Be
Freed From Her Marital
Vows = Her Hus-
bands Story.

Frau Helena Schrumf. who tells for
tunes for a small consideration at No 4
Hudson avenue, on the Heights, has filed
bill for divorce from her husband, Gott-
fried. who runs what he calls the Haupt-
quarters Odd Fellows Mannerchor Won
Hudson County at No. 504 Spring street,
West 'Hoboken. He is charged with beat
ing his wife and by his dissipated habits
compelling her to leave her home and exc
out precarious livelihood in telling silly
servant girls that they will marry mil
lionaires and live happily ever after.
The ill-assorted pair were married in
the Town of Union in 1863 and they have
six children. Along about August 10 last,
so Mrs. Schrumf swears, he drove her
from their home. Prior to that time he
was intoxicated frequently and applied
abusive language to her in the presence
of the children. At times he would strike
her and once threatened to kill her; in
fact he was brutal and cruel in his be-
havior.
To these charges Gottfried gives a gen.
eral denial in his answer. He says that
he was not addicted to drinking and
makes the subtle distinction that being a
German he drank lager beer At one time
he was starter for the North Hudson
County Railroad and left that company to
open a saloon. Instead of his wife help
ing him, he says. she was running about
telling peoples fortunes and soliciting
patronage and neglected her household.
"she was cold and undemonstrative,"
he complained, "and didn't care bit
for me; in fact she had no affection for
me at all"
peatedly, he says, and left the house of
her own accord. He denies that he is
wealthy and has only small business.
Messrs. Hudspeth & &Puster are his
counsel and Mr.. Max Saifnger is for the
wife. The case will be heard next Monday
in Chancery Chambers before Vice Chan
cellor Pitney

NAVAL OFFICERS SUICIDE
Lieutenant Dressed Shoots
Himself in a Baltimore
Hotel.

BALTIMORE, Nov II. 1s9S-I4ieut aer-
man G. Dressed, of the United States
Navy committed suicide in the Carrollton
Hotel, this city, shortly after one o'clock,
this morning by shooting hemself In the
head. From papers found on his body it
is surnised that he killed himself because
ne had been ordered to Manila to join the
United States ship zafiro.
Lieutenant Dressed. it is though, reached
this city some time this morning and re-
paired to the Carrollton. He did not
register but after lingering about the
lobby for short time repaired to the
toilet room and locked the door behind
him. Almost Immediately thereafter a
pistol shot alarmed the employees of the
house and a search revealed the fact that
Dressed was dead.
In one Of the pockets of his coat was
found an order from Secretary of the
Navy Long. dated November II, detach-
ing the unfortunate man from the U. s.
S. Essex and ordering him to repair to
San Francisco, from which point he was
to go to Hong Kong, and then to Manila
to join the Zafiro. A telegram addressed
to Lieutenant G. H. Fales, in Washington
and signed by Dresel, which was also on
the aead man, requested T dleS u zS4-
change orders with the writer ard 1t was
evidently the intention of Dresel to have
sent this telegram.
Lieutenant Dressed was well known at
the navy, pay office in the Custom House
here. No one could assign any cause for
the act, except hisunwillingness to go to
Manila He is described as a pleasant,
cheerful man. with no known troubles.
Dresel was ss or 40 years of age. He
entered the navy on September %. 1873,
at Annapolis. having been appointed from
Ohio on May 4, 1895, he was made a lieu
tenant. D uring the Spanish-American
war he served on board the Puritan.
Following the war he was transferred
to the Essex, and it is said the trans
fer to Manila was made on account of
his value as an officer, which marked
him out for continued active duty. He
had no family, so far as is known here.

STEIN JAILED AT LAST.
Twice He Abused the Conf
dence of the Court and
Escaped.

About two weeks @ago, Jacob Stein. a
peddler, who lives at No. 1863 Pacific ave-
nile was arrested and fined SIS in the
First Criminal Court for peddling without
a license. Police Justice Potts was then
sitting in the First Criminal Court. He
paroled Stein on the promise that he
would go Immediately after the IS and
bring it to the Court That was the last
seen of Stein by the Court until Saturday
morning. when STEMS wife entered the
Second Criminal Court and asked to have
a warrant issued for STEMS arrest on a
charge of assault and battery and aban-
donment. Justice Potts was then sitting
in the Second Criminal Court, fact
which Stein was evidently not aware of,
for he followed his wife into the Court
room. 1t was too late for him to re-
treat
The Justice entertained Mrs. STEMS
complaint, and reminded Stein of the S5
episode down in the First Criminal Court,
Thescase of abandonment and assault and
battery against Stein was put down for
hearing this morning Stein pleaded TO
be paroled and promised to bring back
the IS which he failed to produce two
weeks ago as payment of his fine for ped
ding without a license. The Justice
trusted him a second time. Stein failed to
return. This morning Mrs Stein was in
Court with a number of witnesses to sub
stantiate her charges against Stein, but
Stein was non est. The Justice was mad.
He ordered warrant issued for Stems
arrest Half an hour after ft;, the Jusdlce l
Court Clerk Frank Higgins had him inn
mediately put under arrest. Stein is
locked up in the Oakland avenue station
house. The case will be heard tomorrow
