Ami. His Updoiag.

This happened to a Welsh clergyman,
according to the said London "News":-
Having two hours to wait for train
one morning he sat upon a grassy lawn
and lost himself in a book. At the last
minute he had to run for his train, arrivy
ing just in time to get into a compartment
having only one other passenger, man.
Before the train had gone farsthe preach
er saw ants scampering over him and
felt itchy and uncomfortable. With an
apology to his fellow passenger he took
off his coat and waistcoat and began 70
hunt for the little creatures, of whom
there were hundreds.
At the only stop the other man alignted.
The preachers mental torment and bodily
uneasiness increased. The wretches were
crawling, crawling-he was alone--he took
off his trousers and LEAKING out of the
window shook them energetically.
The ants vanished. The trousers went
with them, snatched from the preachers
hands by the brisk breeze.
In five minutes the train would stop. He
decided not to alight, but to draw the
blinds as if the carriage conveyed Il
corpse. He accordingly pulled down the
blinds as the train slowed up. but as soon
as it stopped the door was opened and .wo
ladies were about to enter when he shout
ed ;-"Don't come here! Don't come in;''
The ladies retreated screaming, but has
tened to inform the station master that
there was a lunatic in the carriage. That
official promptly called two or three por-
ters to accompany him and entered alone,
bidding the porters to come TO his assist
ance if he called.
The preacher explained immediately ond

YOUNG WOMAN TRIES SUICIDE.
Pretty Wife of italian Barber
Drank Carbo1ic Acid.

Guissippine Montapulo, nineteen years
old, and of queenly beauty, is the wife of
Joseph Montaputo, Soreto barber, of
Hoboken. She has been ailing for some
time past. Late yesterday afternoon
while Montaputo was reading in his shop
at No 513 Washington street. he heard a
feeble moan from a back apartment oc-
cupied by his sick wife.
When he entered the room he found her
in bed holding a bottle of carbolic acid.
He made grab for the poison, which
spilled over his hands and face, burning
him severely in several places. His wife,
he says, refused to speak and kept moan
ing, "Oh, Joseph; oh, Joseph

she was removed to St. Mary's Hospital

FRANK HIGcINc' LATEST.
This Time 1t Is Purple Plaid and
Illustrated Shirt.

A flow of white light seemed to hover
about the rostrum of the Second Criminal
Court room this morning-a perceptible
difference which brought forth comment
from Police Justice Potts before he as
certained the cause. 1t finally dawned up
on His Honor that it was Clerk Frank
Higgins new spring suit.
Gee whiz! where did you get it? and
Phew! Turn away, turn away. My eyes
won't stand such a dazzle.
For the clerk had thrown back his over
coat in such a manner as to expose a
vest of gorgeous purple plaid pattern
upon which game Of checkers could
be played. 1t contained a double row of
ball-like buttons that looked like agates.
But when the genial Frank deliberately
pulled up his coat sleeves and exposed the
cuffs to match an illustrated shirt, the
Justice sank back in his chair and simply
gasped.
Frank.

SAYS TRANSFER WAS FRAUDULENT
Amato Accused of Making Over
property to a Minor.

Vice Chancellor Pitney had before him
today a suit to set aside an alleged fraud

Hoboken by Michael Amato to his minor
son, john
The complainant is Newton A. Merritt,
of Newark and he obtained judgment
in New York on October s, 1897, for Sl93.6S-
He thereafter brought suit in the District
Court of Hoboken for recovery of the
Judgment and again won the case, with
costs. Armed with a writ of execution
Sheriff Heller tried to sell the Amato
property on Adams street, but in vain,
as he was confronted with the fact that
1t was not in Michaels name, but that

the conveyance was made without con-

Amato declares in his answer that he
was never served with any notice of the
Hoboken suit and that If any judgment
was obtained in this State it was through
fraud, as he was at the time the suit was
instituted and still is, resident of New
York. He denies that he ever owned the

NO. Il AGAIN !!
This Time the Schools Heat
ing Apparatus Is
Out of Order.
PIPES AND VALVES LEAK
Classroom No. 8 Resembled
a Pond This Morning =
Holes Still in Roof.

The heating apparatus in troublesome
School No. II, at Astor place, is in shock
ing condition. Since the recent repairs
were made, the pipes and other ap-
paratus are said to in worse condition
than at any time heretofore.
A News reporter went through the
cellar and first floor of the school this
morning and found the steam pipes Leak
ing in many places. The return steam
pipe is said to be defective. There is
leak at a poorly connected joint in ths
basement from which steam and water
issue continually. The kissing sound can
be heard over the whole basement when
high pressure of steam is on.
Great difficulty is experienced in the
morning, it is said, in trying to heat tha
classrooms on the south side of the build
ing. This is due to the return steam
pipe. The steam is forced to the radia-
tors, but the water that remains in the
pipes over night does not return to the
bailer, it is said. Consequently the rooms
are but half heated when the pupils arrivs
for sessions. The rooms should be about
70 degrees in temperature, but it is impos-
sible to heat them above s. degrees. II
it were not for the heat from the other
doned This matter was reported to the
principal this morning.
To the boys court on the first floor,
there is a radiator which has caused
endless trouble since sessions began
again. The valves leaked so incessantly
and caused such great pools of water 10
form on the floors, it is alleged, that u
was found necessary to shut off the heat.
Ie ;y
In the basement several joints and
valves were discovered leaking. The
worst is at the northern end of the cellar
where the coal is stored.
The carpenters in laying the new hoor-
ing on the ground floor. were forced to
raise several radiators in order to COM
plete their work. In doing this, the pipes
supply the radiators were badly strained,
which caused the valves to leak. the re-
porter was told. Water has been flowing
over the cellar in many places from these
leaks. The valves need repacking-
The leaking joints in the steam pipes in
the boys toilet room in the yard, whicn
have caused pools to form on the floor
have not been repaired as yet.
The rotten roof, which has been source
of much annoyance, leaked badly all day
yesterday.
This morning before sessions began, the
reporter was told, grammar class room
No 6 on the top floor, resembled a pond.
Water had leaked all over the desks ana
in dozens of places on the floor. All TINS
was mopped up before session began.
The roof which is now undergoing re-
pairs was found to be in deploraDie
condition. Dozens of rotten pieces of tin
were found in different parts of the roof.
The worst place was on the northern
corner, where the water leaked through.
This work will probably be finished witn-
in another week.

.UNMANAGEABLE AT ELEVEN
John Dick Asks That His Son
Be Sent to Reformatory.

John Dick, of No. 1271z Coles street, took
his son John, boy eleven. years old, who
is very small for his age, to Police Head
quarters, this morning and asked Chief
of Police Murphy to take charge of him
as he is uncontrollable He said the boy
is wholly bad and vicious. He steals
whenever the opportunity is presented,
he lies, he will not go to school, he runs
up bills at the stores in the name OF
his father and he has even threatened TO
shoot his younger sister.
The youngster was very demure while
before lie Chief. He did not look cap
able of doing any of the things charged
against him. A number of policemen,
however, were ready to testify to his bad
character. He had been arrested four
times for thieving and had served several
days in the County Jail.
The lad had his right eye badly dis
colored. Chief Murphy asked him how
he came by the black eye.
MY father struck me- he replied.s
Turning to the father Chief Murphy
asked him what right he had to dis
figure his son in that manner.
II was chastising him." said Dick, land
he ducked The strap struck him in the
eye and blackened it. I did not strike
him in the eye Intentionally"
Chief Murphy referred the matter to
Police Justice Nevin who had the boy be-
fore him on another occasion. Dick re-
peated his story of the dangerous char
acter of the boy to Justice Nevin and
asked that he be sent to some institution.
"This boy may be bad," said Police
Justice Nevin, 'but in ninety-nine cases
out of one hundred the parents are to
blame for the actions of the child IL
you send him to the reform school you
will destroy the one chance he has left
of becoming a respectable man. 1t is bet
ter to bear with him and even to stand
the expense to which he may put you by
his actions than to send him to place
where he will meet with nothing but
crime and immortality. If you are a
Catholic you had better have him sent to
the Catholic Protectory. or better still,
you had better keep him at home and
try to break him of his bad habits.
1--WE have tried to make him behave
himself, said Mrs. Dick, but we can &c
nothing with him. He won't go to schoos
and he won't do anything he is told to
do. He even threatened last week to
shoot his little sister. We went to the
priest to see about sending him to the

to pay $40 a month. We can't afford to
pay that sum. There are five chill
dren and my husband only earns s15 a
week.
HE ran away Friday morning. said
Dick, and l had to go out and find him
His mother put him to bed. but when we
were asleep he got up, stole big cake
and ran away again. He did not show up
again until Saturday night. Last night
he got up at midnight and took a pot OF
tea and a can of condensed milk. What
milk he, didn't use in the tea he spread on
the floor He was getting ready to leave
again when l caught him.
Police Justice Nevin sent Dick and his
son to Judge Blair who has the power to
send the boy to the Reform School.

PATERSON PLANK ROAD
Freeholders' Injunction to Make
Rutherford Trolley Go. Repairs.

On behalf of the Board of Chosen Free
holders, County Counsel John Griffin this
morning asked e-Chancellor Pitney for
a mandatory injunction to compel the
Jersey City, Hoboken and Rutherford
Railroad Company to repair the Plank
road along which the company has laid its
tracks.
The petition for the injunction sets out
that the railroad company was incorpor-
ated to operate an electric railroad from
Hudson and Bergen counties along the
Paterson plank road. Permission was
given to the company by the. Freehol-
ders on May H. 1S93 to lay it's tracks on
the road through the county provided
that the portions of the road occupied by
the company should be kept in good state
of repair at the company's expense and
the road should at all times be safe for
public travel.
These conditions, the Freeholders claim,
have not been observed, and the company
has substantially destroyed the PLANK
road, which does not accommodate the
public travel Further, it is charged
that in the laying of the rails the com
pany had placed the metals so close to
the street as to make it dangerous for
pedestrians.
your orators further show" as the
bill states, 'that the Paterson Plank Road
from the Hudson Boulevard westwardly
to the Homestead station is a dilapi-
dated condition, and out of repair, the
macadam pavement is worn down, form
ing ruts, hollows and gulleys; that the
macadam is worn away to such an ex-
tent that the same is below the top Of
said trolley rails, and the west bound
track is almost in as bad condition; that
the condition of the road is growing
worse day by day.
The Freeholders. urged Mr.. Griffin. had
repeatedly requested John L. Helms, re-
eeiver of the road, to make the repairs,
but no attention mas been made to the de-
mand. Since the Paterson Plankroad is
largely used by wagons and trucks, and
the only road connecting Jersey City and
Hoboken with Paterson and the towns
and villages lying between Jersey City
and Paterson, to close the road would
mean great injury to hose using the road.
There was no argument. it being an ex-
parte application and the Vice Chancellor
granted rule to snow cause. The law.
yers for the railroad are Judge Abel /.
Smith and w. B. Gourlay. The rule will
be argued next week.
