age left in his care nearly all day yes
terday About nine o'clock In the morn
ing a we'll dressed stranger entered the
place and asked the proprietor to allow
him to leave his package in the store
for awhile. The privilege was granted
and the stranger left.
About an hour later customers enters
ing the place noticed very peculiar odor.
They held their nostrils and walked into
the back room. Joe finally noticed the
smell. He walked around the place, ex-
pecting to find dead rat. He did mot
suspect the bundle left by the stranger
until he got directly over it. when he
too walked away.
Calling the bootblack, Mr. Griffin or
dered him to examine the contents of the
package This he did. A ham, a loaf
Of bread. Bermuda onion and half
nound Of lirnburger cheese were dfscov-
ered The bundle was quickly taken out
Of the place and deposited in the refuse.
Joe then tumbled to the fact that he
had been made a victim of a practical

Captain Frederick Steigleiter and Lieu

Fourth Regiment. announced their in
tention of resigning at the meeting last
evening, because Lieutenant James Com

of the company over Barck. Barck. who
entered the service for the Spanish

Steigleiter agrees with him.
The fight. in fact, is between the vol

they had little difficulty in electing their
man at a previous meeting. Steigletter
threatened to resign if Connel would not
withdraw in favor of Barck. Connel did
as Steigleiter wished, but at the meeting
last evening reconsidered his act and his
friends called for another election. The
stay-at-homes had an easy victory.
Steiglciter and Barck's announcement Of
resignation followed and the meeting
came to an abrupt end.
Lieutenant Barck when seen this morn

pany but he refused to discuss the trou-

THE FOXES MAKE UP.
Happy Ending of a Divorce
Case in the Court of
chancery,

The Fox divorce case was. settled rather
unexpectedly yesterday afternoon. When
the Court re-assembled after recess. Max
Salinger. who had evidently become con-
vinced after his clients testimony that
he had no case. adroitly managed to get
Fox and his wife together at the end of
the corridor leading to the law library
This is long and narrow and afforded the
couple all the exclusion they desired
They had not been together long when.
Fox's brother discovered what was going
on and he started to join them. Mr.. Sal-
niger however, stood at the entrance to
the corridor and refused to let him. Then
Mrs Fox's brother wanted TO join them
and between the two Mr.. Salinger had
his hands full. Things became turbulent,
and it looked as though there would be
a row. Sergeant at Arms Haggerty put
on all his official dignity and went up to
the contending parties. At the sight OF
his awful front the contestants quieted
down ana a dreadful catastrophe was
averted.
In the meantime the relations and
friends Of both parties had gathered about
Mr. Salinger and gazed intently upon Fox
and his wife who could be seen at the
other end Of the hall in deep conversation.
We've made up EN-, we've made up, :
suddenly exclaimed Mrs Fox, starting
down the corridor toward the group about
Mr.. Saainger EN-" who proved TO be
Mrs. Fox's sister, sprang toward her and
taking her in her arms kissed her By
this time Mrs. Fox's relatives crowded
around her and began shaking her hand
Tears came into Mrs. Fox's eyes through
her smiles and she warmly returned her
relatives greeting Fox joined the group
and he had to shake hands all around
too All the women were weeping by this
time and the men were expressing their
satisfaction in various ways.
The most demonstrative of the men was
Fox's aged father. who seemed to be
overjoyed at the reconciliation. He danced
around the couple. gave vent to his pleas
ire in German and shook hands with
everybody again and again. Finally the
excitement died out in a measure and the
pair went to the Imperial Hotel next door,
where the reconciliation was fttingly
celebrated Fox and his wife crossed the
ferry together, evidently as happy as they
were that day three years ago when they
were made one at New Brunswick.

Rebekah Nine Houghton-Sewell sang
Rebekah and Mr.. Clerihew Eliezer. Nine
Houghton-Sewell sang the ''Infiam1na-

The choir work was excellent. The
choir attempted heavy work and accom-
plished it creditably. No one part was
prominent. The voices blended harmoni-
ously in a melodious chorus Nine
Hougton-Serrall deserves credit for the
excellent results derived from small
chorus.
Miss often played delightfully."-. The
only objection that could be urged to her
performance is the sameness of the selec-
tions. Miss Clara Often, her accom-
ps.nist. deserves special mention. She is
an admirable accompanist.
signor FaneiM displayed poor taste in
his selections. They were all alike. He

Calls Mr.. Carey

Some interesting testimony was take1
yesterday afternoon in the suit Of Lawyer
Peter Bentley to recover g. $50 from bis
client John Watts for legal seEyfces

ceedings were enlivened by a wordy Httie
scrap between Lawyers Dixon and Carey
the opposing counsel.
Watts testified that he was recommends
ed to Bentley by Mr.. vredenburg The
first case he gave Bentley was q fore
clousure suit and it was allowed to go by
default. Bentley said he would appeal
the case and take it to Trenton. The wit
ness gave him 800. but he learned after
ward that Bentley never appealed the
case. He told Watts that he changed his
mind about it and credited him with the
500.
MI Bentley said he had conducted six
disposses cases for Watt and made prom
ises for him which Watt never kept.
Watts denied this He said there were
only two cases and he had receipts from
Judge Puster to show that he had paid ali
the expenses. Watts said he engaged
Bentley to sue man named Jenks for

as he was to get possession Of come
papers Bentley allowed the case to go by
default at every stage, at the trial the
appeal and the suit on the bond. He had
to pay the bondsman. Five months after
the case was settled Bentley said to the
witness that he had the jerks case all
tied up.
Nearly all the interviews for which
Bentley charged him were about the
Weston case in New York, which invoiv-
ed $4,000, and Bentley was to get thirty
per cent. of he won.
On cross examination Watts said that
Bentley urged him to sue his, Watts
