tical joke last night by County Superin-
tendent Christopher P. Smith The Super

When the basket arrived at the Erie
station word was sent to Captain Kelly

went to the foot of Pavonia avenue and
got the basket and its contents. He car
ried it tenderly for fear of breaking the
eggs. 1t was taken directly to his home
on Twelfth street.
The cherries were removed SO that the
eggs could be put in the ice box. Much

"oNLY ROUTINE BUSINESS"
supt. Russell Says D. L. & w
Ofaoials Did Nothing Else.


The annual meeting of the directors and
stockholders of the Sussex Railroad,
Passaic and Delaware Railroad, and other
lines operated by the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Railroad Company,
was held in Hoboken yesterday. Super
jntendent Russell, when seen by a
News" man, said that nothing but rou-
tine business was transacted at the meet
ing.
''It was simply the annual meeting re-
quired by law said he, and 1t had no
special significance whatever"
Asked whether no action relative to the
alleged dissatisfaction existing among the
employees of the road was taken, Mr..
Russell repeated -'Nothinb but routine
business was done"
The Superintendent refused to discuss
the meeting further He took occasion to
assure the News man that the report
of his removal to Scranto was un-
founded.
People will always talk, you know"
said he. ''The one who knows the least
is the most loquacious, and has more Sc
crets to tell than any one else. AS far
as 1 know the affairs of the D., L. &
w. were never in better condition, and
no immediate changes among the officers
of the road are to be made here or else
where. If any of our employees have
grievances we are always glad to listen
to them. They can always feel assured
of receiving every consideration"
President Truesdale, who presided at
the meeting could not be seen in Hobo
ken yesterday or today

BEER FOR THE MILLION
Justice Nevin Says His
Company Will Lessen
the Price.

Police Justice Nevin announced the
fact this morning that he is one of the
incorporators of the Peoples Brewing
and Refrigerating Company. The papers
of the new company were filed yesterday
at Paterson.
"The object of the new company" said
Police Justice Nevin this morning, ''is to
furnish free of cost refrigerator to
every person or family agreeing to take
one-sixth of a keg of beer weekly. The
cost of the beer contracted for is s1.50
Not only will the company furnish the
refrigerator, but for twenty-five cents
per week it will keep the receptacle filled
with ice. This price, for ice required to
keep the beer cold, is just one-half what
it would usually cost in such cases. if
purchased from dealers The one-sixth
of keg contains about so glasses of the
beverage, and is made to fit in the re-
frigerator, which is an ornamental piece
of furniture and is large enough to pre-
serve all provisions used by the family
during the warm weather.
Justice Nevin said that the company
was organized with a capital of s1,O00,0Oo
The business will be confined to New York
State for the present, although the COM
pdny mas tHe TlSnl TO extend Operations
to every State in the country.
Paul Weiman, manager of the COM
pany. said the Incorporation Of the new
company would accomplish two import
ant things. The lessening of the cost of
the poor mans beer and a great increase
in the profits of the saloon keepers. AT
present 50 per cent. of the beer sold is
sold in bottles and not over the bar On
this bottled beer the brewer and not the
saloonkeeper makes the profit. The COM
pany also claims it will confer wide
spread blessing on society by selling
beer direct to the consumer and keeping
people away from saloons.
The company also proposes to fight the
Beer Trust. Manager Weiman refused to
tell where the breweries to be controlled
by the new corporation would be located.
He. however, said that one of the brewer
ies would be the third largest in the
country.
The incorporators of the new enterprise
are William Catlin, Jacob Newberger, S.
A. Cunningham, J. j. McDevitt, Albert
Wilcox, Myron L. Furston and John J.
Nevin. The company's offices are located
at No. 256 Broadway, New York.

STREITWoLS APPEALS
Claims New Jersey Court Would
Not Set Aside North Dakota Divorce

Especial to "The Jersey City News."l
TRENTON, June 29, 1S99.-August
Streitwols, who claims his legal residence
is Mandan, North Dakota. today took out
a writ of error carrying to the United
States Supreme Court the decision of the
New Jersey Court of Errors and Appeals
rendered last week, setting aside North
Dakota divorce obtained by Streitwols
from his wife, Elizabeth Streitwols, of
New Brunswick.
The assignment of error filed by Streit-
vols counsel claims that the New Jersey
Court violated the Federal Constitution
in not giving full faith and credit to the
decision of the North Dakota Court. The
decision of the New Jersey Court was
based on a claim that Streitwols at the
time he obtained the divorce was not a
bona fide resident of North Dakota and
that the North Dakota Court therefore
had no jurisdiction in the matter.

tain detailed Detective Gallagher
gather evidence last week, and on the
strength of the detectives report the
summons was issued.
1t is quite probable that there will be
big array of golfers and those who are
not golfers in court tomorrow morning.
1t is certain that Mr.. Drayton will APP
pear He told reporter of '"rhe News, .
yesterday, that he would when asked If
he would go to court if such proceedings
were begun. But on all sides is being
asked what other followers of this ancient
game will be there?
Will the players assemble to tell that
they are not so inexperienced as to drive
the balls in an erratic course against the
complainants house? Whatever happens,
the proceedings are sure to be to the lik-
ing of the court followers, if not the
principals.
Mr.. Drayton could not be seen today
regarding the summons.
The action of Mrs Scharff was a move
the members of the Golf Club did not
anticipate. They said they thought the
complainants would make fuss for a
few days and then the matter would drop
into oblivion. But as for appearing In
court against the golfers, such steps they
would hardly dare take.
Mrs Scharff was seen this morning and
questioned regarding the action she had
taken the preceding day.
ssChose steps were taken,'' said she,
pleasantly, simply for the purpose OF
protecting my property and our lives
The members of that organization are

wish to have the game abolished. This
is not my intention. Far from it. I only
wish to be protected, and in making the
complaint, I think I am petfect justi-
fed.
This practice has continued ever since
the golf club inaugurated the game in this
section. For year have had to put

me considerable annoyance. Several panes
of glass have been broken and shades
have been ruined. Two are now broken.

remedy the evil. One pane of glass was
