KANSAS PLANS.
Arrangements Made for the
Delegates to Democratic
National Conven-
ton.
WILL START JULY /
Mr.. Davis Expecting Word
From Mr.. Pfeiffer in Re-
gard to r. r. Prices.

The arrangements at present, 80 far as
the delegates from Hudson to the Demo-
cratic National Convention are concerned,
are that they will start on July 1 for
Kansas, reaching that place about day
before the convention opens.
Mr.. Robert Davis, delegate-at-large,
Mayor Hoos and Congressman w. D.
DAILY delegates, will all be there, but
should one of them not be able to attend
from any unforeseen occurrence, Police
Justice ]. ]. Murphy will be alternate in
that emergency. Kansas, generally a
warm city, will during that week be par
ticularly warm, and the Hudson delegates
are hunting UP their gauziest attire. They
stay for the week.
Mr.. Davis is daily expecting word from
Delegate George Pfeiffer of Camden, who
is now filling the role of sort of Demo-
cratic advance agent. He is making ar
rangements with the railroad companies
about transportation matters.
During Mayor Hooss absence from the
city Mr.. William F. Midlige, President of
the Board of Aldermen, will be Acting
Mayor The duties of office will not be
onerous because Mayor Hoos will sign
the warrants for the pay of the city's
employees before he leaves.
81 don't expect to be away more than
one week at the most said the Mayor,
this morning. by the way, this trip to
Kansas will &c the first holiday I've had
since 1 became Mayor. 1 think 1 need a
few days rest. From what I read this
convention will be a very lively one and I
am glad of the opportunity to be pres
ent.''

LOVE TRIURPHED.
Miss Hitze1 and George GIaubrecht
Married in Spite OF Opposition.

Despite the rumored threats of interfer-
ence on the parts of her brothers to the
ceremony of the wedding of Miss Emma
Hitzel, of No. 48 Charles street, to Mr..
George Glaubrecht, of Summit avenue,
took place yesterday. The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. W. w. Johnston,
of James Methodist Church in his par
sonage in Summit avenue. Frederick
Sturss was best man, and Miss Lena Ban
ia was the bridesmaid.
Miss Hitzels widowed mother, sister and
three brothers bitterly opposed the match,
and when she announced to them Friday
that the ceremony would take place Sun
day the brothers, it is alleged, threatened
to stop the ceremony. Miss Hitzel left
her home, and afterward returned with
policeman and secured her cothes. Her
mother and brothers offered no resistance.
She left what had been up to the an
happy home.
The brothers denied yesterday that they
threatened to interfere in the ceremony.
I'VE opposed the MATCH said one of
them to a News reporter at the COM
fortably furnished home of the Hitzels
yesterday afternoon, because we did not
as far from interfering with the ceremony
we mounted our wheels at noon and rode
to Hudson Heights so that no one could
say we would attempt to interfere as had
been publicly intimated. She made her
choice without regard to the advice of the
family; in fact, in face of the opposition
of all when it was ascertained that the
ceremony was about to be performed. She
will have to take the consequences"
''Will you evtend the maternal bless
ing?" asked the reporter of the sad faced,
resolute-looking mother, who stood near
by.
mo, can forgive her, but cannot for
get. will not forgive him.
The Rev. William Johnson said he did
not know there was any opposition to the
wedding He said that Miss Hitzel had
for several years attended his church Re-
Gently he had noticed that she was usual
ly ACCOMPANIED at the services by a
quiet, rather nice looking young man, who
impressed him favorably. When he was
requested last week to perform quier
wedding ceremony for them on Sunday he
very willingly assented.
The young couple are residing on the
Boulevard, near Carlton avenue.

QUEER ACCIDENT TO BANK NOTES.
Used as Gas Lighters, Chewed by
Dogs and Boiled with Cabbage.

'FWhile 1t cannot be stated that It Is an
American habit to light lamps and gas
with money" explained an official of the
redemption division of the Treasury De-
partment, there are a number who ap-
pear actually to have money to burn, and
who now and then burn it. There are
more money burners. too, than come to
the front and demand a redemption of
their partly destroyed money. for some
people hesitate before they are willing to
appear in such an indefensible position. /
don't want to be understood as stating
that it occurs every day, for that would
probably be stretching it somewhat, but
it is fact that it occurs many more times
than would be supposed. A case of the
kind came to the division last week,
where a fellow lighted a match at the
door of his room and from that lighted
what he supposed was a piece of paper
which he had in hic pocket. He started
with the lighted paper to find the gas jet.
He found it. and as he blew out his
lighted paper he ascertained, to his sur
prise and disgust, that his taper was
ten-dollar BILL more than one-half of
which had been burned. In his COM
munication to the Secretary of the
Treasury, to whom he was advised to
write, he admitted that he was a fool
and deserved a kick instead of anything
else, but said as grass was rather short
with him he would have to appeal for re-
demption. He furnished the necessary
affidavitS which under the law have to be
filed in such cases, and a new bill was
sent him for the half-burned note which
he sent in for redemption. Lots of times
people burn money, but make no claim
for redemption, supposing that they have
no redress in the matter. But the Treas
ury Department does not as a rule hunt
up trouble, so unless the claim is made
none is suggested.
AZ had a case somewhat in the same line
recently, and there are frequent similar
occurrences, as where a one-dollar
puppy ate up two-thirds of five dollar
note. The pup was of a playful disposi-
tion,' wrote the man who owned it, and,
though 1 saw him playing with the note,
/ did not recognize it as money. But he
won't play any more in my back yard.
Later on, when the puppy got tired play
ing with it, the owner discovered that the
dog had been amusing himself with note
which had by accident fallen on the floor
The affidavits in the case were very
amusing, but the man godt the remnant
of a note redeemed at its full value. The
lamy and gas lighting people are by
great odds in the majority. Out of a
number of such cases cases the percent
age of women sufferers is so small that it
can almost be said they don't lose money
by using it as lighters. knew of a wom-
an who boiled almost out of existence sew
eral bills which by<some means got in the
folds of the leaves of a head of cabbage
The money dropped into her basket ON her
way back from the market. The notes
were pretty well wrecked. for the cab
bage was being cut up when they were
discovered. but there was enough left on
which to base a redemption" Washing

COULD NOT DOWN ELY.
Lawyer Persists in Reading
Affidavits in Spite of Vice
Chancellor Pitney.

Vice Chancellor Pitney encountered one
lawyer this morning whom he could not
squelch and who insisted upon having his
way in spite of all that he could do.
This was Addison Ely of Rutherford.
who appeared to oppose motion by Mr..
Charles Thompson on behalf of the Hack
ensack and Newark Traction Company,
to restrain George Baylis, the Mayor of
North Arlington, and the other authori-
ties of that municipality from interfer-
ing with the company in making repairs
to it's road through Beleville avenue in
that borough.
Mr.. Ely relieves the monotony of fol-
lowing the profession of the law with
doing a little newspapers work and in con-
sequence is now under $,000 bail on
charge of uttering libelous statements re-
specting William c. Giles, the president
of this same Hackensack and Newark
Traction Company. He has also been
called upon to plead to a civil suit brought
by Mr.. Giles to recover $4,000 damages on
account of the same libel 1t was there
fore inferred that it was something more
than professional zeal that induced Mr..
Ely to defy the Vice Chancellor as he did.
A week or SO ago the company began
to repair its road bed through Belleville
avenue, North Arlington, and Mayor
Paylis stopped their workmen Mr..
Thompson then obtained from Vice Cham
celolr Pitney an order requiring the Off
cials of Nor.h Arlington to show cause
why they should not be restrained from
interfering with the company in making
it's repairs. A restraining order went with
the order to show cause which was re-
turnable this morning.
Mr.. Thompson told the Court that,
through the action of the elements, the
roadbed of the company, which is
constructed on one side of the pubic
highway, is in a dangerous condition,
and when the company undertook to re-
pair it they were stopped by the Mayor.
He said that the water pipes of Jersey
City were laid through that road, which
had caused the thoroughfare to settle,
leaving the tracks above the road.
In reply Mr.. Ely read big batch of
affidavits, all going to show the danger
Gus condition of the road. The Vice
Chancellor suggested that such affidavits
only proved Mr.. Thompson's case and
asked what use there was in taking up
the time of the Court in that way. But
Mr.. Ely read on. Several times the Vice
Chancellor interrupted him to declare
that he was only helping his op-
ponent's case, but MIR. Ely read on.
The Vice Chancellor laughed at
his persistency and attempted several
times to check the flow of affidavits, but
Mr.. Ely simply raised his voice and went
on. Finally when it looked as If the
Vice Chancellor was losing patience Mr..
Ely said that he wanted to show that the
Mayor stopped the work because the
company was changing the grade of the
road bed.
That the Vice Chancellor said, was
new matter and he adjourned the case for
two weeks lin order that Mr.. Thompson
could get together affidavits to show that
the company did not intend to interfere
with the established grade.

RATES AT KANSAS CITY.
HoteI-Keepers Putting Up the
Prices May Drive Conven-
ton Away.

WASHINGTON, June 4, 1900.-As the
time of the convention draws near Sena-
tor Jones, chairman of the Democratic
National Committee. is receiving num-
ber of vigorous complaints from the mem
bers of the National Committee and other
leading Democrats throughout the eoun-
try over the action of the hotel people in
Kansas City in the mattefNof rates
Many of the committeeman who write
Chairman Jones on this subject are
urgently requesting that meeting of the
committee be called, with view of re-
considering its action in deciding to hold
the convention in that city. A prominent
member of the committees writes as fol-
lows
Il engaged rooms for my delegation at
the Coaes House a IS a day, with parlor
for headquarters at $50 day. The proprie-
tor of this hotel now writes me that a
contract for accommodation means the
18th, 5th, 9Th and 7th of July, whether the
convention lasts that long or not. Of
course, if it lasts longer, the amount Will
be pro rata per diem increased, or if you
take the accommodations on the Sd it
would be five-day contract instead of u
four-day contract. This is an outrage
upon all pretence at decency, and 1 will
not close such contract for my delega-
tion.'
Chairman Jones says that other mem
bers of the committee are writing him in
the same line, and that certain members
seem very determined in their efforts 10
change the location of the convention
from Kansas City to some other more de-
sirable and attractive place. No action
has yet been taken in the matter by
Chairman Jones, though he has it under
serious consideration.

MRS. BATHGATE'S WOE.
Although Her Husband Says
She Is Innocent He Sues
Her for Divorce.

Chancellor Magic sat for short time
in the Court of Chancery this morning
and heard few motions. Mr.. r. M.
Hart of Hackensack, on behalf of Grace
Bathgate, applied for alimony and coun-
sci fee pending the suit of her husband,
James, against her for divorce. upon the
ground of unfaithfulness. One Leland M.
Atwood is named as correspondent In
the affidavits which Mr.. Hart read Mrs.
Bathgate declares that she was married
on April 80, 1894, by the Rev. DIR. McCune
of Englewood and has one child, Paline
Grayson Bathgate, now five years. who
is now in the possession of Bathgate'
sister, at No. 119 West 133d street.
The child went to the house for the
purpose of visiting her father and never
cme back Bathgate and his sister would
not let the child return to her mother.
Mrs. Bathgate denied all her husband s
allegations and declares that on two oc-
casions her husband assured her that he
believed her innocent, and that he had no
evidence against her but that he would
never live with her again. Her husband
frequently threatened her life, she said,
and struck her often with his fists He
failed to provide for her and compelled
her to support herself. Bathsate is a
clerk in the Park National Bank, she
said, at salary of s125 month. Mr..
Hart read several other affidavits, in
which the affiants all declared that Bath
gate had told them that he had no evil
dence against his wife and he believed
her to be innocent of the charges which
he had made against her. The Chan-
cellor gave Mr.. Hart an order compelling
Bathgate to give his wife $6 week all
mony and a counsel fee of $50.
