DAVIS AND HELLER TO TAKE A RESI-
Will Go South and Prepare for Red
Hot Campaign.

Leader Robert Davis and Sheriff William
Heller are going away on Thursday for
week or ten days vacation. Whether the
gentlemen will go to Lakewood or some
point South has not been decided. Leader
Davis is worked out and needs rest bad
ly. His physician has advised him to go
away ana to remain away to escape tne
bad weather of February.
The friends of Sheriff Heller have de-
manded that he go away. The Sherif
has not been feeling himself for long
while. He has been under the care OF a
physician but he has refused to give up
his life of activity. The result is that his
constitution has been undermined ana ne
is not feeling himself.
The friends of the Sheriff want him to
go further away than Lakewood, arguing
that if he goes there with Sheriff Heller
they will soon be surrounded by politic-
ians who have tales of woe to tell. There
is a very great likelihood that the gentle
men will go South. If they do their des-
tination will be known to only few

MRS. VAN eRAvENHoRsT RELEASED
Prosecutor Is Satisfied Her Story is
True.

Lawyer John r. Weller yesterday after
noon secured the discharge of Mrs. Jo-
hanna Won Gravinhorst, of Spring street,
West Hoboken, who by a singular chain
of circumstances, was arrested and held
on charge of living in open lewdness with
her own husband. Mr.. Weller produced
Mrs. Van Gravinhorsts marriage certiff-
cate and told the story of the woman's
arrest practically as it was told in these
columns Saturday.
Assistant Prosecutor Van Wrinkle said
he was willing to accept Mr.. Wellers
story as true. He said that the indica-
tions were that the State would prose-
cute Won Gravenhorst for bigamy.
The couple were arrested at the in
stance of Mrs. Hedwig Grierheim, who
says she married Won Gravenhorst on Oc-
tober 10 last, and that he gave the name
of Grierheim at the time the ceremony
was Nperformed. Mrs. Won Gravenhorst
saws that at the time of the marriage her
husband had disappeared, but that sub
sequently he returned home. 1t was af-
ter his return that his alleged second
wife caused her arrest and also the ar
rest of her husband

LOW DEATH RATE FOR DECEMBER
Pneumonia the Cause in Most Cases
Few Zymotic Diseases.

Clerk Rooney, of the County Board of
Health, reports that during December the
death rate in the county was I'll The
average for ten Decembers was 235. The
death rate was higher than in December,
1897 and 1896, when it was 17.2 and 17.S
respectively. The higher rate in those
years was due to acute lung diseases and
it was far above the rate for ten Decem-
bers.
The rate from zymotic or preventable
diseases, scarlet fever, diphtheria, small
pox, typhoid fever, ETC., is less than
one-half the average for ten Decembers
The general death rate would be very low
but for pneumonia and acute lung dis
eases The feature OF the month is the
high rate for pneumonia and the xtreme-
ly low rate for zymotic diseases.
The rate in Jersey City from prevent
able or zmotic diseases in December, 1898,
was about one-third the average for ten
Decembers; 1.3 per 1000 against 3S for ten
previous Defenders. Typhoid and diph-
iberia were conspicuously low. The
deaths from pneumonia, however, were
high. It is remarkable that there was
almost an entire absence of deaths from
typhoid fever This has not happened
before in ten Decembers. Hoboken's rate
of 200 against a county average of 217
is due to pneumonia mainly.

TROLLEY TRANSFERS.
Railroad Men Generally OPP
pose Them : Doubtful
Benefit to a City.

Nothing has been done in the matter OF
transfers between the lines of the North
Jersey Street Railway Company and the
North Hudson County Railroad Company.
although the request of the Board OF
Trade is under consideration. There is
scarcely any diversity of opinion on the
question of transfers among railroad men,
for it means, on large systems, thousands
of dollars loss per year of the nickel
which, legitimateiy, should be paid on en-
tering any car.
In large cities. like Philadelphia, st.
Paul, Minneapolis, ST. Louis, Buffalo and
San Francisco the companies have been
obliged to do away with the transfer.
which in plain words, robbed them o1
an enormous sum yearly.
.ssWhen we abolished that transfer system
from our city, said one of the officials re-
Gently to a News reporter, I'VE found
ourselves able, with that extra sum, Ia
give the public increased facilities and ac.
commodations; open up new lines, and, OF
course. that meant opening up territories
hitherto unpopulated. 1t is not fair to
give transfers, for it means loss to US o1
five cents whenever transfer is given.
Our company, since we have abolished
transfers, have voluntarily-you look sur
prised, but it is true-offered to the city's
treasury a percentage on our net re'
ceipts when we were not compelled to do
SO, and so you see, while there was al
first some temporary burden, the results
accruing to the city and public generally
far outweiged them. see that the Board
of Trade in your city is advocating trans
fers between the companies which operate
within your citys limits. don't want "a
NEEDLE in your affairs, but we had the
same experience with our company ano
our Board of Trade and Transportation
We showed that that if We continued
the transfer system the loss to US would
mean a loss to the city, because we could'
MT afford to make new lines and give
rapid transit and the best accommoda.
tions. They ultimately gave way, and
the President of our Board told me not
long ago that the abolition of the trans
fer system had been distinct benent 70

ence the same result.
