"JOKER'S" CRUEL HOAX.
Hoboken Man Circulated
Among Anxious Friends
Report of Accident.

A score or more people, about nine
O'Clock Sunday night, jumped from a
North Hudson trolley car when it reached
the Fourteenth street ferry, and hurrying
to the Fifteenth street pier began TO ply
everybody in the neighborhood with ques-
lions such as:-"How many people were
drowned?', What are their names"
How did the accident happen?"
No one on the pier had heard of any
one being drowned nor of any accident
having happened and no one knew what
to make of the affair.
Five minutes later another car load
rushed up to the pier with yolleys of SINH
lar questions. This was repeated at inter-
walls of five minutes for the next hour.
Every car from North Hudson brought a
few more excited questioners TO swell the
crowd on the pier. BY ten O'Clock sew
eral hundred people with nerves at the
highest tension were lined along the wa
ter front gazing with anxious eyes in the
direction of the Battery.
Even the storm which burst in all its
fury shortly after ten could not drive
them away. They stood there patiently,
fear for the safety of loved ones dispei-
ling all thoughts Of bodily discomfort.
Two barges with the member and
friends of the John P. Nepiooda Associa-
ton of West Hoboken drew up to the pier
at eleven. 1t was with difficulty that the
excursionists were lande on account of
their friends VINO crowded around the
gang plank to assure themselves of the
safety of their dear ones.
When the excitement had somewhat
subsidized it was made clear to all that a
cruel hoax had been perpetrated. When
men looked on wives. daughters, sisters
and sweethearts dripping wet, n at the
point of hysteria, there was some tail
swearing done.
The Nepiooda Association, LOCO strong,
left at nine o'clock in the morning for its
annual outing up the Sound Everything
went well and with the exception of the
discomfort experienced during the storm
which overlook them On the way home,
II was a most pleasant affair.
A "practicaI joker started a rumor on
the hill about nine o'clock that an acct
dent had happened inc that IT or 10 <of
the excursionists had been drowned.
Had the facetious gentleman been dis
covered there would have been a job for
the coroner.

UNEARrHIsD by GOMEZ.

He Finds That the List of Cuban Of
flccrs Has Been Padded.
Havana, March 5.-.In making up the
roster of the Cuban army Gen. Gomez
has discovered that many holding the
rank Of officers never served in any
military capacity and that the pro
visional government during the war
issued commissions by the hundreds
TO persons whose work was solely of
Il civil character. At least 1900 OF the
officers now claiming pay never served
during the war. He has also discov-
cred that since July the divisional
commanders have made promotions
by the wholesale. almost every officer
having been advance in grade since
the end of the war. Gen. Gomez will
subject the list to n severe scrutiny
and wedding out. with the result that
the number in the army will be great
ly reduced.
