OLYMPUS CLUBS OFFICERS
The Election Was Held Last
Night and Committees
We're Appointed.

The recently organized Olympus Clu
met last night, at the Greenville Reform
ed Church, Ocean and Danforth avenues.
Officers were elected and committees ap-
pointed.
The meeting was called to order by the
Rev. Charles E. Allen, who acted as tenn
porary chairman. The first business was
the election of officers, which resultedsa as
follows:-Frederick Stephen, president,
Frederick Moritz, vice president; Walter
Kelso, secretary, and Charles Roller,
treasurer. An Executive Committee COM
posed of William Allen and George
Kaiser was appointed. The following
Athletic Committee was also appointed
Norris Vreeland. chairman; Reginald
Fry and Harry Perry.
The committee appointed at a recent
meeting to procure permanent quarters
reported that it was negotiating for the
lease of the Neptune Athletic Club build
ing on Rose avenue and expected to close
the lea this week. 1t was stated that the
Neptune Club has procured new and
more commodius quarters on the Boule-
ward.
The Athletic Committee was instructed
to arrange for the fitting up of the club
house. A gymnasium and reading room
will be provided. A constitution and by
laws were adopted at a previous meet
ing.
The object of the club is to promote
the physical and spiritual welfare of the
young men of the community. Any young
man of good character over sixteen years
old Is eligible for membership. The club
has now a membership of seventeen,
which will probably be greatly increased,
when properly organized. The dues are
twenty-five cents per month. payable in
advance. The organization is to be con-
Quoted like the Young Mems Christian
Association. Entertainments and ath-
letic events will be frequently held, the
proceeds of which are expected to pay the
clubs expenses.
Several years ago a branch of the
Young Mems Christian Association was
established at the church. 1t prospered
for a time, but later died a natural DEATH,
because of lack of interest. The organ
izers of the present club are enthusiastic
over the project and they will endavor
to avail a repetition of the previous fail
ures.

HONOR FOR PHIL MULDooN.
Mistaken For a Doctor in Wayne
Street,

Some men achieve honor, some are born
to it and some nave it thrust upon them.
Mr.. Philip Muldoon, Superintendent of
the Sewer Cleaning Department, enjoyed
the last distinction this morning. 1t hap
pened in this way
His men were sent this morning to clean
a sewer basin at the corner of Merseles
and Wayne streets. While they were so
engaged they heard a scream and saw
smoke emerging from an upper window
on Wayne street. A lady on the third
floor attempted to light a fire with a
quart of kerosene with the usual re-
suits. Mr.. Muldoon's men rushed to the
house to give assistance.
A minute later the superintendent him
self strolled along to see what his men
were doing and he was instantly sur
rounded by a score of women from the
houses adjoining.
ooh, please hurry DOCTOR" cried one.
This way, DOCTOR" exclaimed another;
rs she dead, dear doctor?s excitedly
asked another, and they hustled the SUI
perintendent TO the house.
Ladies'" said Mr.. Muldoon, lifting his
hat, for Phil is a ladies' man and always
does the proper thing, now do / look as
if I wuz a sawbones? I'm the sewer in
spector, see?"
"Wel1, yer ought ter be a doctor, you
look so nice" said one woman, and Phil
marched off muttering:-

GRADE CROSSING.
Greenville and Hudson R. R.
Company to Renew Fight
for Passage Over Com
munipaW Avenue.
BOARD OF WORKS TO HEAR COUNSEL
Repeal of the Ordinance
Granting Permission to
Be Discussed.
BOARD OF WORKS TO HEAR COUNSEL

President r. G. Smith, at the Street and
Water Board meeting. yesterday, moved
that the Board, on october 10 next, will
hear objections from counse of the Green
vile and Hudson Railway Company as to
the repeating of the ordinance giving per-
mission to the company to cross Com
munipaw avenue at grade.
This is the final phase of the fight to
obtain a crossing over the avenue to the
west side of the National Docks road
crossing the same. It having been rep
resented to the Street and Water Board
thai a crossing there would mean a bene-
fit to the people in that section of La
fayette becauselof the new railroad busi-
ness and a contrary petition against 1t
the Commissioners determined to give
both sides a hearing. That hearing hav-
ing taken place and the weight of testi-
mony and argument appearing to the
Board thai the crossing was desirable,
the ordinance was passed.
Mayor Hoos was appealed to by the
other side and he vetoed it. The action
on Tuesday next will dispose of the mat
ter for some time.
The Greenville and Hudson Railway
Company is a branch of the Lehigh Valley
system and they are preparing to fight
the rejection of the ordinance in the Sec
ond instance, when there were not enough
votes at the meeting of the Board of
Street and Water Commissioners to over
ride the Mayors veto. 1t will be remem-
bered that on that occasion a majority
of the Board did not show up and con-
%sequently the veto held because of no
opposition.
This is contended by the railroad
counsel. is illegal, and practically means
that the ordinance originally passed by
the Board giving the right to cross
stands in law and equity and subsequent
proceedings have been irregular. The
railroad company, it is said, sets UP
laches on the part of the city and pro-
pose on the whole case to take it to the
Supreme Court. The action of next
Tuesday is supposed to offset the COM
pany'S places.

CLEMENcET LOSES.
His wife Wins His Suit For Divorce
and Gets 800 Counsel Fee.

disposed of the Clemencet divoce case in
a manner disastrous to Mons Clemencet.
He dismissed the latter's petitions saying
that he saw no proof in the case to war
rant him in granting a divorce to the
complainant. He ordered Clemencet TO
pay. his wife a counsel fee Of 500 and the
costs of the suit.
According to the petition the parties to
the suit were married In Chambery,
France, in September. 1854. In July, 1858,
they came to New York and after living
there a year moved to West Hoboken. On
September q, 1893, the complainant
claims. his wife deserted him and went
to France. He has since learned that his
wife returned to this country and lived
here under an assumed name.
THE wife appeared and filed an answer,
in which she said her husband and a
pretty young French woman, Celestine
Stonie by name, went to Europe together,
lived there for a time and returned to-
gether. Afterward all implication of un
faithfulness against C9emencet was WITH
drawn. Mrs. Clemencet further stated IN
her answer. that she and her husband
agreed to separate, and he was to pay her
$40 a week. He continued to do this up
to 1898, when her money was not forth
| coming and she was Obliged to go to the
| home Of friends for shelter. Shortly at
ter this she learned that her usban
-had started suit for divorce against her.
| She managed to come here n file her
| answer and she was surprised at the
| charge of desertion.

B. Crotty, the well Known politician OF
the Horseshoe, has begun suit in the
Court of Chancery against his wife, Olga

with the case has been told by both
principals and has caused no end of gossip
in the neighborhood in which they lived.
Mrs. Crotty, Jr.. is well known in Ho-

home at Thirteenth and Henderson
streets. Mr.. Crotty, Jr.. made a statement
regarding the case, which he signed.
Among other things, he said

home. Mrs. Crotty, Jr., then proceeded to
enjoy herself.
Il was informed of her actions and de-
cided to watch her."
Mrs. Crotty, in contradiction to her hus-
bands statement, said this morning
MY troubles are all TO be laid at the
door of another woman. My husband be-
came infatuated with her and left me. I
was left destitute and was compelled to
sell my household effects in order to sub
sist. My husband has called on me sew
eral times since he brought this action,
and ne blamed his father for the present
suit. He also promised me that if he was
successful in the case he would re-marry
me. Mr.. Crotty, ST., never did like me,
nor would he have anything to do with
me. My husbands father never paid him
enough to support a wife properly. When

serter from the U. s. Navy"
Mrs. Crotty, Jr., refused to add more.
except that she was confident she would
win the suit.
Mrs. Crotty, Jr., also signed her state
ment.

CHlLD'S HORRIBLE DEATH
Little Charles Currents Crush
ed BY a Newark Trolley
Car.

Little Charles Currents, seven years old,
of No. 1856 Duncan avenue, was crushed
by a Newark car of the plank Road line.
on Cemmunipaw avenue just west of West
Side avenue, yesterday afternoon. The
motorman was not to blame for the acct
dent. The boy brought about his
death, by deliberately running in front of
the flying car. The fender caught the
youngster and the force of the blow
caused the lad to roll out Of the netting
and under the huge wheels before the
m~otorman, George Poh1e, Of Newark,
could jam down the brake. Passengers in
the car. which was bound east, sickened
at the sound of the boys bones being
crushed. The car was almost derailed
when the ponderous wheels went over the
lads legs just below the knees, completely
severing them from the body.
A hurried can was sent in for the ambu-
lance. During the time it took the ann
bulance to reach the scene the passengers
and a couple of policemen were endeavor-
ing to extricate the dying lad from his
horrible position. This task was finally
accomplished after much trouble. The
mangled form of the boy was tenderly
placed in the ambulance with the severed
legs. The operation performed at the
hospital at about seven o'clock failed to
ave the boys life. He died about eight
o'clock, unconscious, the condition he was
in from the time he was struck.
Pohle, the motorman, was arrested on a
charge of manslaughter. He was paroled.
The motorman declares he had no time
to stop the car to avert the accident, as
the boy rushed out on the tracks SO
quickly. The car was then going at full
speed.
Walter Walker, the conductor. stated
that he saw little Charles and some other
boys playing in a lot when the car was
coming along and that suddenly the other
boys chased young Currents out into the
street, where he was crushed to death. It
is the opinion of all who saw the accident
that the motorman was not to blame.
The case against Poh was laid over
for one week in the Second Criminal
Court this morning.
