WHOLESALE EvICTIONS.
City Will Make Use of South
Cove Grant ard Depose
Squatttsrs.

The Street and Water Commissioners
propose throwing the great South Cove
grant open for public use. In the com
ing six months some plan viii doubtless
be hit upon for the utilization of the
valuable tract.
At the meeting of the Street and Water
Board yesterday a resolution was unani-
mously adopted directing Assistant City
Attorney Fisk in conjunction with the
Corporation Counsel, to proceed against
those corporations and individuals who
are occupying the grant without proper
warrant
The corporation that is a serious tres
passer is the Central Railroad Company
1t is operating two sets of tracks on
vital parts of the grant There are num-
erous squaters there and several business
men. One IS said to be Assemblyman
James P. Hall. He is a tenant, he main
tains by virtue of an old agreement with
the Central Railroad Company.
Some months ago Michael Kilcauley
was appointed te, collect rents from
squatters and all such persons and cor
porations as might be using the land
without license. Kilcauley's efforts were
productive of no great benefit That is
the cause for the adoption of the harsher
measures. There will be wholesale evic-
tions If needs be. Corporations will be
shown no leniency, no matter what tncon-
venience may be caused them.
Assistant Attorney Fisk will consult
with Corporation Counsel McDermott and
proceed to carry out the instructions OF
the Street and Water Board without de-

JUST THE RIGHT VERDICT.
Ono Of These Too Too Moral Trials
Which Disgust Plain Honest Men

John Sauer, of No. 1S5 Brunswick street,
was tried in the General Sessions Court
yesterday afternoon for marrying a girl
who had not attained the statutory age of
eighteen. The girl, Mary Gruhn. was
only thirteen years old when she was
married by Justice of the Peace Geiger on
September Il. last year. The girls father
made complaint against Sauer and pro-
cured his indictment. The girl wife be-
came mother on February 16 of this
year.
Sauer and his wife were not only will
had arranged to live with Sauers mother,
but the girls father would not consent,
and he took the girl away. The jury was
obliged to convict the defendant under the
law, but they accompanied the verdict
with recommendation to mercy.
Justice Geiger was tried this morning
for performing the ceremony. The girl
testified that she told the Justice that she
was eighteen. She was not required to
make an affidavit to it, although she ce--
tainly does not look eighteen.
Sauer testified that he made arrange
ments with Justice Geiger for the mar
riage. He told the Justice that the girl
was quite young, about fourteen or fifteen
Geiger was satisfied with the girls state
ment of her age although when she went
to his office she wore a short dress. Gel
ger testified that he thought the girl
looked TO be eighteen. The case went TO
the Jury just before recess, and the the
jury soon returned with verdict of ac-
;quittal.

VOLUNTEERS DRILL WELL
They We're Noticeable In the Bat-
TALON Foundation at the Armory

The First Battalion, composed of Com
panies A. B, and D, under Major Steele,
gave a very oreditahle drill last evening
at the Armory. The ranks were well filled
with the Volunteer members who swelled
the companies to their old time proper
tions. They wore the customary cam
paign uniforms. The various formations
showed a marked degree of proficiency,
the drilling of the Volunteers being espe-
cially commendable.
After the drill, Company D, under Cap
tain Mortimer J. Gleason, marched to a
hotel on West Side avenue, where re-
ception was rendered to the Volunteers.
An informal entertainment followed the
distribution of refreshments.
This evening the Third Battalion, Com
panies I. K, L and NJ, under Major Henry
Lohmann will give drill and reception.
This event promises to be decided sue
cess. Tickets have been distributed to all
the members and the huge building will
doubtless be taxed to its utmost capacity.
Assembly will be sounded at eight o'clock.
At the conclusion of the drill the floor
will be waxed and dancing will begin.
Colonel Robert G.. Smith will review the
Battalion Visitors will be entertained In
the company rooms.

come the Soldiers.

A banquet was rendered the members
Of Company M, Fourth Regiment, last
evening, by the citizens of Iioboken at
Quartette Club Hall.
CONGRESSMAN William DAILY welcomed
the boys He said although they had
taken no active part in the late war the
readiness. to which they responded when
the call for volunteers was made demon
strated their patriotism. "No one doubts
that If the Fourth went to the front the
Hoboken boys would have distinguished
themselves said the speaker.
Speeches were also made by Captain
Alvin H. Graft, Lieutenant Barber of
Company H, Captain C. N. Schivers and
others.
The tables were spread in the centre of
the hall, which was gaily decorated in the
National colors. Covers were laid for
about one hundred. The menu was a
lengthy one and included host of good
things. John c. Dillon seasoned the
merry-making with songs and funny
stories.
Councilmen Hugh Ochs, Phillip Steuer-
wald and Richard Greren, Counsellors
John Marnell and John Fallon, Thomas
Fields and other prominent Hobokenites
occupied seats of honor. The members of
Company K swelled the attendance con-
siderably It was early. morning before
the guests dispersed.

STREET REPAIRERS LAID OFF.
Appropriation Has Given Out--Fi-
nance Board To Be Asked For More

Street and Water Commissioner James
Nolan, in the capacity of chairman OF
the Committee on Streets, yesterday af-
ternoon laid off forty laborers who have
been employed on the streets in various
capacities. This morning the discharged
men were about City Hall, many of them
pulling wires in every direction to secure
reinstatement.
The suspension of the men at this time
was made absolutely necessary because
the funds to retain them have been ex-
hausted.
Since the first Of the year the drain
upon the street account appropriation has
been heavy. There were many emergen-
cies when large forces of men were re-
quired and there were occasions when
work was done and the cost charged up
to the street repairing account.
The men were kept employed just as
long as possible and 1t was with regret
that Commissioner Nolan announced that
there would have to be suspension of
operations.
The situation is to be laid before the
FINANCE Board probably al its meeting
tonight, and it is possible that some ar
rangements will be made whereby some
or the laborers may be kept at work
until funds are raised extensive work on
the streets will have to be abandoned

HARRY ADAMS METHODS.
The Dude" Burglar Tells How He
Successfully Piled His Trade.


Harry Adams, the Dude Burglar" of
whom much has been written, has not
confined his work TO this city, but
has been doing business throughout the
State. A card, found among his effects
at Police Headquarters, yesterday, bore
an address in Newark. Chief Murphy at
once dispatched Detective Larkins to the
address, where he found that Adams was
living there under the name of Austin.
The owners admitted the officer to the
room occupied by Adams, where he found
considerable booty that had been stolen
from towns adjacent to Newark
Besides this booty was found nineteen
razors and seven pearl handled pocket
knives that had been stolen from the
Whipper Hardware Company on Mont
gomery street. Nine watches, several val-
liable pins and many small articles OF
jewelry stolen from outside the city. The
watches and jewelry were evidently left
at the store for repairs.
Adams was man who never stayed
long in any one place. He would, how
ever, pay his room rent in advance and
would tell the people from whom he
hired the room that he was travelling
salesman, ana might pe Sone Luz d lew
weeks at a time. He would by this
means have a place to conceal the stolen
articles for several weeks or until the
notoriety of the robbery had expired.
Adams would in the meantime find a
market for the goods. He never pawned
and always sold outright to any one who
would bEu.
The police expect to locate several other
rooms where the convicted burglar has
goods concealed.

At IT AGAIN.
Ladies' Aid Societies | and
2 Warning Once
More.

The efforts of the officers of the Ger
man Hospital and Dispensary Fund As
sociation to cement the differences ex-
isting between sections No. and No.
2 of the Ladies Aid Society have been
fruitless. Both sections are now more
bitterly opposed to each other than ever
before. When plans for a second Ladies'
Aid Society were discussed, trouble was
anticipated. The officers Of the main body
said there must be harmony between the
two sections or the second society would
not be recognized. Anything but harmony
exists now. In fact there never was any
good feeling between the societies.
The latest outbreak comes from the sec
ond section, whose members say they
have been slandered by the first section.
Mr.. Ernst Gothberg, one of the main So
cietys officers, said
ITO my mind, the members of No. l
Society have treated the second section
very poorly The present president of
No. 1 Society is not popular with the
members of either society. She is not
qualified for the position, and this is one
of the reasons why there is dissension.
Even during the fair held last Octo-
Der, there was much feeling, but 1t was
not allowed to interfere with the work.
THE recent election of the Ladies' Aid
Society held before No. 2 Section was
organized, caused more trouble. The
president. Mrs Blumlein, said she would
withdraw from the society and take 200
members with her, if she was not re-
elected president. This threat did not
make her any the more popular"
Mr.. Gothberg then went on to state that
the president canvassed for votes among
the members month before election. He
seemed to think that this was wrong.
Continuing he said
1.-The constitution calls for nominations
month previous to the election. This
rule was violated, nominations being
made the same evening that the election
was held"
Mrs Stoesel who was Mrs. Blumlein's
opponent for the position of President,
gathered her friends about her after Mrs.
Blumlein was elected, and it was then
that plans for second society was dis
cussed.
The second society being perfected the
members began working in the interest
of the hospital fund.
According to the statements made by
members of this society the members of
the original society said that they got
members by unfair means.
The second society declares that If not
allowed to go on with its work, for the
hospital fund, the members will turn the
funds already collected over to some 9TH
er charitable organization.
1t is thought tha another effort will be
made by the main society to bring about
harmony between the warring factions.
Just how successful the attempt will be
remains to be seen.

STRIKE IN H0BOKEN.
Employees Of the Rutherford
Trolley Refuse to Run
Cars.

A big strike is on among the employees
of the Jersey City, 'Hoboken and Ruther-
ford Railway Company. Nearly all Of the
motormen and conductors quit work early
this morning. The company's cars were
stalled at Secaucus. and wires were cut
at many places along the line.
The company was obliged to use North
Hudson cars to keep up traffic. Sheriff
William Heller left for Secaucus with
a posse of men shortly before twelve
o'clock to prevent trouble.
David c. Young, president of the North
Hudson County Railway Company, was
recently appointed receiver of the Ruth
erford road. He inaugurated several
changes, he claims. to facilitate raplo
transit. Formerly cars that ran through
from Hoboken to Paterson stopped five
minutes at Rutherford and seven and
half minutes at Homestead. The stops
were included in the employees time. Pres
ident Young directed the cars to
run through without making the stops.
The motormen and conductors did not
welcome this innovation and appealed
to him several times to change it. Con-
ductors and motormen receive IS cents
an hour from the Rutherford Company
and Mr.. Young refused to make any con-
cessions to their demands. He considered
them unreasonable, he says. Trouble has
been brewing ever since
This morning when east bound cars put
into Rutherford from Paterson the motor
men were stopped by gangs of men as
sembled in the middle of the tracks The
strikers refused to allow the cars run into
Hoboken and before long over a dozen
were stalled between Rutherford and
Secaucus. The wires at the latter places
were cut
President Young notified the Sheriff at
ten o'clock and sent linemen to Ruther-
ford and Secaucus to repair the broken
wires. Cars from Hoboken ran only to
the top of the Hill UP to one o'clock this
afternoon.
Mr.. Young, when seen by News,
man, denied that any reduction in wages
was responsible for the trouble among the
men. Such rumor was current in Hobo
ken this morning. Mr.. Young says he
will have the majority of the men back
before night and hopes to have the cars
OF the company making through trips ON
schedule time tomorrow. The majority of
the strikers are Hoboken men
When word of the strike reached the
Sheriff's Office Sheriff Heller sent LOG
deputies in charge of Under Sheriff John
J. Heavey to the scene. Heavey tele-
phoned to the Sheriff from Secaucus later
and said that the strikers had ceased
causing trouble and that everything was
quiet. He said that cars were running
from Paterson to Secaucus, but none were
IN operation between Secaucus and Ho-
boken.
Sheriff Heller instructed Heavey to leave
a few deputies on the scene to prevent any
future disturbance, and to return with
the reainder to the Court House
Adjuster Frederick J. Mersheimer of the
Railroad Company, said this morning
that the strikers included about twenty
five motormen and conductors who were
dissatisfied because several of their fell
low workmen were discharged for in

O'Clock last evening on the Hackensack
Plank Road, near Glendale Park, when
W. e. Talmage, forty years old, of Irving
ton, N. j., was run over and instantly
killed by freight car of the North Jersey

him headlong over his wheel directly in
front of the car. Before the motorman,
Frederick J. Metel, of No 7O7 South
Fifteenth street, Newark, could jam
down the breake the car had passed over
the rider.
The victim was horribly mangled. 1t
was some time before the men succeeded
in extricating the body. It was then
taken to the morgue.
Captain McKaig put the motorman un-
der arrest on a charge of manslaughter
From papers found on the body, the
victims name was ascertaiped. His rel
atives were notified Up to one o'clock
