LATAINES FEIGNED DEATH.
Police We're Called Out Twice With
the Ambulance.

James Lataines, a middle aged man re-
siding at No. 236 Erie street, gave the po-
lice of the Second precinct consider able
trouble Saturday night by feigning dearh.
About 5:5 O'Clock a call was received
at the station for an ambulance to take a
dead man lying at the foot of Thirteenth
street. Captain Kelly, who was on duty,
summoned several officers and the patrol
wagon, which was driven quickly to the
scene.
When it arrived there the man was
gone. He was located in a shanty near by
the door of which was locked. In answer
to several knocks a voice from the inside
told the officers that their services were
not needed. They left the place in dis
gust.
No sooner had the wagon reached the
station than another call from the same
box was reached. The wagon was again
sent out. This time the door was open.
The man asked to be taken to the hospi-
tai.
The police thinking that the man was
near death brought him to the station
house and sent for a physician. Lataines
pretended to be unconscious and his
breathing was hardly preceptible. The
physician diagnosed the case as dead
drunk"
Lataines awoke several hours later and
wanted to go home. He was held for fur
Their examination by Justice Nevin this
morning.

OPPOSE SALE OF STOCK.
Fuss Among Stockholders Of the
Dover Electric Co.

The stockholders of the Dover Electric
Company are divided among themselves
in the sale of 100 shares of the company's
stock, and this morning y-ice-Chancellor
Pitney heard an application on behalf of
some of the stockholders to set aside the
sale.
Counselors Charles c. Black, represent
ing Leopold Swarz, formerly Treasures Of
the ompan and B.. NJ. Stern of Phlla-
delphia, read the petition, which sets
out, tina the company was in a good
financial condition, paying half yearly
dividends of s per cent. and the sale of the
stock was unwarranted. 1t was a fraud
on the stockholders because it decreased
the amount of dividends for each.
When the resolution of the Board Of Di-
rectors, said Mr.. Black, authorizing the
sale was made. Swarz as treasurer re-
fused to sign the certificates. and the di-
rectors removed him from office and APP
pointed in his stead Chas. E. Clark.
Swarz then filed a bill against President
David Allen, Chas. E. Clark and Q.
Nottingham, the last named defendant
having bought the shares, and Swarz
claims that the price was too low.
Counselor j. ]. Coult of Newark. in
reading the DEFENDANTS answer, said -;lat
Swarz conspired with Stern to secure con-
troll of the company, and that they vere
buying up the majority of the stock.
Counsel said that Nottingham offered
S., 600 for 100 shares of unsold stock and
the Directors accepted the offer and au-
thorized the sale. The price of the stock
was the highest yet received for it. The
case was laid over.

HORSES IN A SWAMP.
Driver Kilroy's Peculiar Ex-
perience Returning From
a Funeral.

Thomas Kilroy, brother of Undertaken
p. Fl. Kilroy. of Prescott place, had a
curious experience on Sunday night on the
meadows. Yesterday he drove one of his
brothers coaches to d funeral on Staten
Island. Just how he came to make his
first mistake is not known, but the police
| say he was drunk. He crossed by the
ferry to Elizabeth instead of taking the
| ferry from Port Richmond to Bayonne.
He discovered his mistake when he
learned he was in Elizabeth instead of in
! Bayonne. He then started to drive to Jer-
sey City. Instead of following the boule-
ward to Newark he wandered from it
and drove by a back road which brought
him out into the meadows. The police
assert he must have been asleep on the
box. There was no one in the coach
The horses wandered into the meadows
and sank up o Their launches. h coach
went down until the bottom OF the pody
rested on the mud and then continued
to sink until the body was partly sub
merged.
Kilroy did not return for help until about
eight o'clock last night. His story is that
he remained where he was, fearing to dis
mount lest he be engulfed in the mud. He
admits he fell asleep and did not awake
until seven o'clock last night. Then he
says he shouted for aid until he was
hoarse. He finally got down from the
box and started for this city. He sank to.
his hips in mud and water, but managed
to get himself free, although he Went
down several times. He finally reached
North avenue. Elizabeth. Then he made
his way to Police Headquarters. He was
covered with mud from head to foot.
He was completely bewildered and could
not even locate the spot where his team
was stuck. The police searched most of
the night, but as the oun man could not
say whether the spot was north. east,
west or south of the city and could not
even tell from what point he reached
headquarters. the search finally was
abandoned.
After daylight the coach and horses
were coated. The situation of the horses
was had. They had sank until their
bodies were almost hidden under the
mud. The coach was down so that the
body of it was almost half under the
mud. The police obtained aid, and with
blocks and fall and a derrick the horses
were rescued. 1t took until almost noon
to free the animals. The coach was easily
lifted out. The animals were badly used
up. They were taken to a livery stable
and were attended by a surgeon.

MUDDY HOLE At JUNCTION.

Passengers getting on and off the south
bound Bayonne cars, at the Junction,
have just cause to register a kick with
the Street and Water Department. Ex-
actly when the rear platform Of these
cars stops is a hole, two by three feet in
size. This hole is at least our inches
deep and contains d rich brown quality
of mud. for which Jersey is SO famous
Not a fewshave carried away quantities
Of this mud on their shoes and clothing,
being unaware of It, when getting of
the cars. Those who board the cars at
that point, take a circuitous course
,around the hole. The hole was evidently
left untitled by some plumber. The
street and Water Board should ~investi-l
gate the 1natter and see that the person
~responsible is made to AZ the hole
