CAPTURED FLAG
Presented to Terry's Texas Rangers
by Governor OF Indiana.

Presented to Terry's Texas Rangers
by Governor OF Indiana.
DALLAS, Texas, Oct. 5.-The latter
ed battle flag of Terry's Texas Rangers
captured by Indiana soldiers during the
civil war, was to-day restored to the
remnant OF the gallant Confederate
band, the ceremonies taking place in
the auditorium at the fair grounds.
Governor Mount, of Indiana and stan;
Governor sayers, Of Texas, and stan,
and an immense crowd Of g. A. r.
men, ex-Conrederates and Texas cItI-
gems were present.
In presenting the flag, Governor
Mount said In part: "ThlB great OCcR-
sion becomes an epoch In our country's
history. a third OF century ago the
two great states represented here were
bitter rivals, To-day we meet as citl-
zens of a common country to weld

dered during that war. Removed By
the tide Of time by this cruel conflict,
let the aBperltieB OF the pnRt be forgot
ten. for It IB better to exercise charity
than TO engender strife. to plant the
seeds OF concord than the germs OF
hate. The 1oftlest patriotism is now
found in binding up the nations
wounds and unlfying the country's
strength. The state that contributes
most TO bringing OF all our states into
closer union Is the one that leads in
loyal devotion TO tho whole

proper to turn these trophies Of war,

into memcntocs Of friendship to repre-
sent the spirit of unity into the living

noble impulse as a mere morbid sentl-
mentality? United we are marching
forward to grander industrial and com

elements. true greatness. the mlghtlest
governments OF the earth.

COSTLY ENGINEERING.
Boulevard Commission Has
Trouble Assessing Cost of
Sidewalks on Branch
Road.

The boulevard Sidewalk Commission
VIII probably have more trouble assessing
the cast of the sidewalks on the pranch
road than ii had with the main roaa,
and another probability is that there WIN
ha more objections offered. One dlnculty
That presents itself is the enormous pro-
nortionate cost of the engineering, sur
veving and inspecting the work, whlcn IS
one-tenth of the entire cost. The nag
ging cost $50, ,2562s, and the expenses for
engineering, etc, were s444l6i.
The Commission, which consists o.
David w. Lawrence. James G. Morgan
and Charles Birdsall held meeting in
the Grand Jury room on Wednesday
afternoon. Secretary Wallace read the
items of expenditure on the work as foi-
lows:-Flagging, $26 256.29; field surveys
and grades, $Ss6.60; inspectors fees, se47-5o;
draughtsmen, $685. chief engineer and
staff, 81, 2,25S .32; advertising, printing and
stationery, s2S7.25; incidentals, s131.So. To-
tai, s41, 177.e1.
1t is said that one reason for the pro-
portionately greater cost of the engineer
ing, etc.. on the branch is that while the
engineers and surveyors were working on
the main road they were also employed
on other Boulevard work at the same
time and that only part of the expense
was charged against the sidewalks. On
the branch, however, all the other work
had been finished and the entire cost of
the engineering, ETC., was charged against
the sidewalk improvement. It is likely the
Commission will cut down the expense as
against the property owners although
the bills have been paid. Hamilton v.
Meeks, T. A. Won NJ zisker, counsel of
the Erie Dock and Improvement Co.. and
E. S. Won Duser. agent of the West Shore
and Ontario Terminal Co., were at the
meeting looking after the measurements
against the property they represented.
Charles Hopper was appointed engineer
to prepare maps of the improvement for
the use of the Commissioners.

DEATH WAS INST AN TANEOUS
Mrs. Neely's Body Removed to
Morgue--Brewster Held
as Witness.

The body of Mrs. Mary Neely who
was murdered early yesterday morning
in front of her home by her husband,
William Neely, was removed to the
morgue. 1t is evident that death was
instantaneous. The second shot, the only
one that hit her, reached the heart, caus-'
ing an internal hemorrhage. There was
no effusion of blood
The County Physician viewed the body
yesterday. Unless claimed by friends or
relatives, it will be buried at Snake Hill,
where lie the remains of thousands of
unfortunates.
Mrs. Nicely was considered good looking
and was ffashily dressed when she met
her death. A great many of her friends
visited the morgue yesterday and today
to look upon the body.

enue, whose attentions to Mrs Neely led

DID He COMMIT suICIDE2
Mr.. Mayhsw Thsnka zipp Was Dis
pleased at His Diet.

There's double-b e-baek-action-g grapevine
twist in this narration, but Patrick
Mayhem, of No. 1900 Willow av-
enue, Hoboken, swears by it. Mayhem,
until Thursday, had a big black New
foundland dog named Zipp, which was a
great favortte in the neighborhood with
the little ones. Zipp had been ailing for
the past week or more. and his owner was
advised by a veterinary surgeon to give
him no meat The dog turned up his
nose when given diet of milk and crack
ers and refused to eat. The story is best
told in Mayhew's own words
.Zipp lay down by the kitchen stove all
morning watching my wife get our
Thanksgiving turkey ready When the
bird was placed on the table and 1 was
about to carve it he made spring and
tried to snatch It away. I prevented him
from doing that, and chasing him to the
front room locked the door.
when dinner was over I went to look
for him. He was not in the room. Run
ming to the open window / hooked out
zipp was lying on the sidewalk dead. We
live on the third floor, you know, and
what prompted him to take the plunge I
can't say. The only thing can think of
is that he became dissatisfied because we
would not let him have turkey and com
mitted suicide. I've heard of dogs doing
this before but never believed 1t. zipp
was good dog and I never thought he
would act so rashly. His little friends in
tend giving him good burial They will
miss him greatly and they are very sad

HOW THEY RECOGNIZE EACH OTHER
Scheme Employed to Keep Visiting
Relatives From Going Astray.

"See that guy there with the price tag
still in his hat?" said bystander TO
Detective Peter Morris in the Pennsyi-
vania thation this morning. The detective
moved around where he could see the
front of the mans hat, and returning to
the bystander said, That's not a price
tag, but a card placed In the hat for
Identification. Wait awhile and you will
see. In a few minutes a Southern train
rolled into the big train shed and began to
discharge its human freight. The passen-.
gers poured through the gates into the
big white lobby and made their way to the
ferryboats.
The man with the tag In his hat took
prominent position in front of the gate so
that all who passed through could see
him. Soon there came along a young.
woman who wore conspicuously upon iere
bosom bow of white satin ribbon. She
was a typical Southern girl. and it was
plain that this was her first visit to New
York. She looked about her on all sides
as If expecting some one. Suddenly she
caught sight of the man with the tag IN
his hat andw advanced toward him. As
she approached the man ran his eye hur-
riedly over and seeing the white bow on
her breast advanced toward her Inc
girl put out her hand timidly and the man
shook it warmly, said a few words to the
girl and they went off toward the boat to-
gether. sThat happens here almost every
day.', said Detective Morris to the by
stander. who had been an interested wit
ness of this scene. .People in the West
and South often send their children to
visit relatives in New York who have
never seen the relatives nor have the rela-
+ives seen the children. In order that they
may not fan into the wrong hands 1t Is
agreed that the relative sent TO meet
them shall be marked in some conspicuous
xvav ike the tag in that mans hat and
t,e child shali have some distinguishing
mark like the white bow on that girfs
breast"

TURN DOWN FOR ERWIN.
Republican Leaders Say He IS
an Ingrate.

The Executive Committee OF the he-
publican County Committee met last night
in Lincoln Hail. Mr.. Flayel McGee's
opinion on the construction OF the con-
stitution of the County Committee is tnat
1t prvides for the election of delegates IN
Bayonne by precinct according to the
number of votes cast at the last Guper-
material election. Heretofore the County
Committee apportioned the delegates, one
for each one hundred votes cast for Gov
ernor. These were chosen by wards.
Al resolution was offered and adopted,
giving a delegate to each precinct where
a hundred votes were cast the remainder
to be selected at large. The official call
for primaries on December was issued.
About 200 delegates are to be chosen.
There will be opposition throughout the
county, but the most bitter fights are
looked for in this city
1t was announced that Judge Lansing,
an orator of repute from New York would
of the committee to be held on Friday
night.
The subject uppermost in the minds of
the party followers is the attitude recently
"struck" by Secretary John ]. Erwin, the
defeated Shrievalty candidate. He has at
tackled Mr. Woolley. Mr. Edward Fry of
the Executive Committee and Colonel
Dickinson. In doing this he has gained
disfavor in the eyes Of the leaders, who
claim that he is nothing but an migrate,
having fed from the political crib for
years, and in return attempting to CEN
sure those who have placed him where he
is. For this he will doubtless be turned
down when the next election of officers
is held.
