How Mrs. De Wolf Gets Back Into
Pioneer Home.

At the meeting of the German Pioneer
verein held last evening, Mrs. Katherine
De Wolf appeared before the Directors of
the Home and asked to be reinstated. She
was admitted to the home on August IA,
1897, at the age of 70 years and a week
later her husband, John DeWolf was also
admitted to the home. A month ago the
House Committee made complaint to
the Directors that Mrs. De Wolc was mis-
behaving herself and was becoming nui-
sance to the other inmates. The directors
Investigated and notified her that If she
did not keep withing the rules of the
home they would be compelled to turn
her out.
A week later Mrs. DeWolf threatened
to jump out of a window and said she
was being defined at the Home aginst her
will.
DR.. Lambert was called in and said she
was sane. "A few days later she wanted
to leave the home, to live with a sister
in Staten Island The authorities In
charge of the home consented to let her
go and q Mr.. Deummert accompanied her
to Staten Island. She had only been gone
two days when she appeared at the home
again and asked to be admitted. She was
refused by the matron, Mrs Lattimer,
unless she had an order from the direc-
tors, which Is the rule of the yerein. At
the meeting of the directors last night
Mrs. De Wolf begged to be readmitted,
and after a long consultation the board
consented to give her another chance and
warned her that IL she ever starts her
antics again she will have tos SO for good

END OF ST. JOHNS FAIR
DIR. Stoddard Is Satisfied With tho
Results.

The annual fair of St. Johns Episcopal
Church on Summit avenue, which closed
last evening after two nights of business,
was the most brilliant and successful held
on the Heights. Indeed, the chapel, where
the booths were erected for the sale of
numerous useful commodities, was simply
jammed. If the building had been twice
as large, double the business would have
been transacted, for then it would have
been possible for the patrons to move
about with greater freedom
The workers are to be given much credit
for the successful ending of such an
event. 1t was due to their efforts that the
funds realized were so large and entirely
satisfactory. The young ladies rendered
excellent service. Every stand was well
managed and full value was received for
every article sold or raffled. Many valu-
able prizes were won by numerous people.
So successful was the performances of
Gertrude Mason, Md that the young
ladies were called upon to present 1t
twice last evening in the. gymnasium
From this source a big revenue was de-
rived
The dancing, which began in the gym
nasium about ten o'clock, proved to be the
feature of the evening. Here the young
people flocked and they heartily enjoyed
themselves for an hour and a half.
DIR. Stoddard is pleased with the result
of the fair. He has only the warmest
words OF praise for his workers.

fREEHOLDERS MEET. I
A North Hudson Citizen
Complains That the County
Trespasses Upon His
Land.

Although it was $50 o'clock when the
meeting of the Board of Freeholders
scheduled for four was called to order
yesterday only seventeen of the twenty
six members put in an appearance. 1t
had been the intention to make a trans
fer of the funds remaining in the different
appropriations into an incidental fund,
from which all bills remaining could be
paid, but as twenty-one votes were neces-
sary to make the transfer the idea had to
be abandoned until Friday, November 80,
when an adjourned meeting will be held
and the business of the year finally dis
posed of.
Nearly two hours We're spent in caucus
discussing the transfers of appropriations.
When Director McNally called the board
to order Clerk Egan read communiea-
ton from Thtodore Heber in which he
said that in the work of widening the
Paterson Plank Road the county had en-
croached on his lands two feet along his
entire 722 feet frontage. Rock had been
blasted and removed He asked that a
stone wall be built along the line of his
land and that he be paid for the en-
croachment and rock taken. The COM
munication was referred to the special
committee on the improvement in con-
junction with the counsel of the board.
In communication Contractor Gallery
& Murphy reported that the improvement
OF the Paterson Plank Road had been
completed from the Boulevard to Home
stead, but that it was not thought ad-
yisable to pave the road over the mea-
dows until next spring when the filling
wiuld be settled.
By resolution offered iby Freeholder
keating the road avs accepted as far as
completed and the contractors granted an
extension of time until May l, of next
year for the completion of the work.
The Meyerhoff Brick Company COM
planned that the attendants at the Pater-
son Plank Road bridge over the Hacken-
sack We're growing more careless every
BILE to arise as result of such careless
ness. The. matter was referred to the
North Bridge Committee.
Register James c. Clarke reported that
$75 a month each, Charles L. Toomey
James j. Young, Henry H. HahIert, John
r. Purtell and John Meeres. He asked
that the board concur in the appointments
until January when the work for which
they were appointed will be completed.
His request was granted.
Freeholder AAeating offered a motion
rescinding resolution calling for the is
suing of temporary loan bonds in antici-
patton of the payment of unpaid county
taxes 1t was adopted
County Counsel John Griffin reported
that the supreme Court had refused to is
sue mandamus in the case of Henry Won
der Bach, who sued for seat as a repre-
sentative of Gutenberg in the county
governing body. He also reported the sue
cessful outcome of the suit of Register
James c. Clarke against the Board OF
Freeholders to test the validity of the act
making the offices of Register, County
Clerk and Surrogate salaried instead Of
fee offices.

FATALLY KICKED BY HORSE.
Thomas Kelly's Terrible Encounter
With Enraged Brute.

Thomas Kelly, thirty-six years old, Of
No. III Monticello avenue, who is en-
ployed as helper about the livery stable
of Warren & Wilson, at Communpaw and
Jackson avenues, was so badly kicked
and trampled by vicious horse yesterday
that he may die from the result of his in
juries. Kelly now lies at his home in
precarious conditions under the doctors
care. He was rescued from the beast just
in time to save him from being killed in
the stall. The horse had Kelly under his
hoofs and was trampling in frightful
manner.
The horse was known to be somewhat
vicious. Its fractiousness had caused
other attendants TO be careful in going in
its sail. Kelly was aware of the beasts
nasty temper and he had kept watch
for the horses tricks.
Without seconds warning the horse
moved to the side of the stall with such
quickness that Kelly was jammed forcibly
against the stall and crushed there. Some
how the beast succeeded in flooring his
victim and then began to jump on him.
Kelly's cries brought assistance. Several
stablemen beat the horse until it was
cowea and then they rescued the unfor-
tunate man. He was placed in a carriage
and taken home 1t is believed that some
Of his ribs were crushed in and that he is
hurt internally. Kelly is also injured
about the head and body. The horse
jumped all over him.

he said, and was witnessed by John
Coppelmann and Mrs. Ellen Johnson, ten
ants in the house. The Was woman is
made a third beneficiary of the $1,000 in
Surance policy and bank account, which
the testator Informed me was in his name.
The book is held by friend of Astor,
who is expected to materialize in a day
or two. Astor said he had full confidence
in this friend, although he did not tell
me his name. The dying man appeared
to be extremely solicitous for the welfare
of his nurse. She had been a mother to
his children, he said. and he imp.ored me
to see that she would be taken care of
and protected in her rights. The will
appoints her as guardian of the two chill
dren.'
Detective Sergeant Julius Nelson has
taken precautions to insure the woman 5
appearance before the Coroner's jury il it
is demanded. He is inclined to throw cold
water on the poisoning theory.
Coroner William Parslow likewise dis
credits it, He expressed the opinion today
that the nurse would be yindicated by
County Physician Converse's autopsy on
the body tomorrow.
The facts have been unduly exagger-
ated," he said, although | must admit
that things did not look quite right yes
terday The County Physician now be-
1ieves, however, that Astor died of con-
sumption, and hopes for the woman's S
sake, that th&s opinion can be definitely
established when he performs the
autopsy"

QUEER COMBINATION
Britisher With Yankee Accent and
American With Cockney Brooue.

Passengers who rode on the rear plat
form of Newark car which went uu
Grand street about $50 o'clock yesterday
witnessed novel sight Leaning against
the closed gate was a man attired in the
Kahk uniform of the British South Afri-
can Army. The buttons with the coat of
arms of Great Britain and the ". r. pro-
claimed him soldier of the Queen be-
yond doubt. Beside him stood a man IN
the undress uniform of a United States
marine. The most singular feature about
the combination was that the United
States marine spoke with cockney ac-
cent as thick as a London fog, while the
English soldier had the twang you hear
in the northern part of New York along
the Canadian border.
The two were travelling together and
We're fraternizing in a manner which

transpired that the kahki clad man was

turned from the Transvaal and was on his
way with the Yankee soldier to visit mu-
tual friends in Newark.

Smith were meantime looking after the
officer as he walked away with the wom-
an. When the pair stopped on the corner
in plain view of the store the men were
in despair for few minutes. The officer
himself relieved their anxiety by suggest
ing to the Mcclure woman that they step
around the corner so that the sergeant
could not see him in conversation with
her. That was the chance the men await
ed and they got out and away safely. The
woman gave them sufficient time and then
bid the kind policeman goodnight.
Immediately she went to the fence,
which was at the corner of Grove street
and Railroad avenue. The place was a
saloon.
One night Chief Murphy raided the
fence, and there he arrested the gang and
recovered much stolen property. Emily
McClare broke down and gave the whole
snap away.
In speaking of the woman Morrison
said: Emily was good clever girl and
she knew her business. She was all right
until we fell out and then she loosened up
and told all about the graft"
