began studying medicine, was bar
Der. Since he has been studying he
has been earning part of his college
expenses by working at his trade
during the vacation months. When
college closed last spring he went to
Belleville and took charge of the
barber shop owned by Frank Rem
ner, a brother of Miss Gertrude
Renner. There he met Miss Rem
ner. AT first he was Indifferent to
her, but of late he has been a reg
ular caller at the Renner home. All
this was known to the members of
the Renner family and there was no
objection, but there was no idea that
there would be a wedding before the
young man was through college
a few days ago Miss Renner came
to st. Louis to visit her sister, Mrs.
Hemmighoefer, of Illinois avenue.
Yesterday Mr.. Eastman came to st.
Louis. He called on Miss Renner
and together they went to Clayton
and were married. Mr.. Eastman
returned to Belleville in the evening
and said nothing to the relatives of
the girl about the wedding. She
remained III st. Louis. The rela-
tives learned about it accidentally
and asked him about it, and he re-
luctantly admitted it, but would not
crafty their curiosity by telling
them any details. 1t is expected
that the couple will not go toulouse
keeping until after Mr.. Eastman
shall have finished his course in
medicine.

Eloped With Employers Sister

When Ed. Eastman Joined the
benedlCts last Sunday he thought
he was stealing a march on his elder
brother, Claude, who has been in
st, Louis for some time studying
medicine, and who was supposed to
be proof against the charms of the
TAR sex. But belated copy of a
ot. Louis paper shows that Claude
has been married man since Aug
ust nth, OH which date he eloped
with Miss Gertrude Renner, of
Belleville, who is most comelv
young lady, judging by her picture
as published i'll the st. Louis Post
Dispatch. Claude has sent no word
OF the affair to his father or brother
here, but the above named paper
had the following notice of the
elopement and marriage:
Claude Eastman of St. Louis and
Miss Gertrude Renner of Belleville
eloped to Clayton yesterday and
were married. They tried to keep
the wedding a secret because Mr.
Eastman has not completed his
course at medical college and he
dld not want to expose himself to
the badinage of his fellows when he
returns to the Marion-Sims College
III the fall. The courtship of the
couple was rapid. They first met
last April. 1t came about in this
manner: Mr.. Eastman, before he

HOW TOM THUMB GOT HIS TITLE.
Name Given by Barnum and Gem
oral, by Order of Queen Victoria.

The Countess Magri, formerly Mrs. Tom
Thumb, in paper in the October 'SyVo-
mans Home Companion" entiteld saThe
Recollections of Midget gives the fol-
lowing account of how the famous dwarf
came by his name:-
.'In speaking of Mr.. Stratton 1 have
used the name General Tom Thumb, for
by that name the public best knew him.
Perhaps a statement of how he received
his title will be of inteest-a; story which
even Mr.. Barnum has neglected to make
known, but which M. Stratton himself
told me. When Mr.. Barnum first made
his acquaintance and persuaded his
parents to allow their child to travel it
was thought a good scheme to introduce
him to the public as Tom Thumb So as
Tom Thum he was heraled by all the
skill which made Barnum so famous, and
by that name he was introduced to Queen
Victoria and many of the royal and titled
frequenters of st. James.
"On his first visit he had amused the
Queen by asking particularly after the
Prince of Wales, and when he was the
second time summoned to appear at the
palace he was presented both to the
Prince of Wales and to the Princess
Royal, who afterward became Empress
of Germany. AS he stood beside the chill
dren his smallness was more noticeable.
The Duke of wellington was present and
noticed this fact, evidently with much
interest, as he said to some one stand
head and shoulders taller than Tom
Thumb This remark the General told
me, was overheard by the Queen, and
turning to the Duke she said, General
Tom Thumb" Bowing low to Her Mai
esty the Duke gave me the military SAL
ute, repeating the title, General Tom
Thumb" Everybody bowed, and although
did not fully comprehend then that Her
Majesty's simple say-so could make it un-
changeable, found that ever after that
was always addressed as General
"Mr. Stratton also said that he knew
enough Of the war history of the Duke
of wellington to be greatly interested
in him, and to feel that an Introduction

SMART NEW YORK LAWYER
Vice Chancellor Pitney Shows
Him He Does Not Know
the Jersey Practice.

Vice Chancellor Pitney this morning in
,dulged in oneo f his favorite pastimes,
jumping on New York lawyers who come
to this State to practice, thinking they
know it all, when in reality they haven't
the rudiments of New Jersey procedure.
The case of the Premier Heating and
Cooking Company against Thomas L..
Mack came up on the return of an order
to show cause why Mack should not be
restrained from prosecuting a replevin
suit in the Circuit Court. The company
was organized to manufacture the Prem
ier lamp under patents. In 1897 Mack
bought 800 shares in the company and
was made its superintendent 1t is
charg ed that he used the company's
money to purchase machinery which he
used in the manufacture of stove called
the Royal Blue. The company got behind
in it's rent and the machinery was seized
for rent. Mack began a suit to replevin
the machinery, claiming that it was his
property and that he only leased it to
the company.
The company seeks to have him re-
strained from enforcing that claim in the
courts. Frank McDermott, of this city,
appeared Sor the company and argued for
the injunction.
Mr.. William H. Corbin, in opposing the
motion, moved to dismiss the BILL He
said that the name of the defendant was
not mentioned once in the bill. He was
much surprised to see such a bill before
the court. 1t looked as if it came from
New York. Mr.. Kalisch, New York
lawyer, arose and explained to the Court
that he had drawn the bill considered it
all right.
+ You gentlemen Of New York are very
able men, but when you think you know
how to practice in this Statesyou are mis-
takens' said the Vice Chancellor. '.Yon
do mot draw your papers correctly. This
bill is improperly drawn
Mr.. McDermott explained that he had
shown the bill to Vice Chancellor Pitney
on the train, that the Vice Chancellor
had read 1t and given him his order to
show cause without discovering that it
was detective. The Vice Chancellor said
the bill was improper and he could not
sanction 1t being used. He therefore dis
missed the bill but allowed Mr. McDer-
mott to amend the offending document.

against the lots complained Of He said
he knew the conditions were as set forth
by the petitioners and that steps in the
matter were necessary. The Board or
dered that the owner of the property be
instructed to erected suitable fence to
prevent access to the lots.

and pay my fare?" asked a middle aged
woman when she had elbowed her way in

arms full of bundles. Certainly

was holding on to a strap reao1ng a news
paper. He took the weman's purse from
her hand, opened it and handing the con-
ductor a nickel, replaced the pocketbook
in her hand. The young man went on
reading his newspaper. A few minutes
bundles on her lap, opened her pocketbook
and began to count her money. She
counted over some change several times
arm, exclaimed
please put back the change
The young man heard the words, but be-
lieving he had misunderstood their mean
ing, he bent low to hear them again.
Il say I want my change, continued
the woman. you took a quarter from
my pocketbook and I want twenty cents
back
"Oh, no. didn't madam. You are mis-
taken. took a five cent piece which
gave to the conductor as you requested. =
"You did no such thing" persisted the
woman, excitedly. 'I saw you take a
quarter
well, then, if I did," said the young
man, somewhat doubtful about the trans
action, 'the conductor has not given me
any change"
Despite the statement of the conductor,
who was positive that he had received but
tive cents for her fare, the woman insist
ed tnat she had been swindled. Turning
to the young man she added, snappishly:
81 don't care what the conductor says,
you took a quarter and 1 want twenty
cents change
To settle the dispute the young man
drew some change from his pocket and
gave the woman twenty cents. She got
off at Palisade avenue and Ferry street
and in her excitement she dropped one of
her small bundles on the floor of the car
The bundle was not noticed until the car
had started again. The young man didn't
lose any time grabbing it. I'll keep
this he chuckled, '-for the twenty cents
lost,
The bundle contained two pairs of silk
stockings.

CHIMNEY
KILLS HIM.
Workman Knocks Out Tier
Of Bricks in Spite Of
Warning.
BURIED UNDER TIE PILE
Bride Of a Week Is Made a
Widow "A Second Man
Injured.
BURIED UNDER THE PILE

John Jacques, twenty-six years old, of
NO. 126 Sussex street, teamster em-
ployed by Peter Sonmers Of Warren
street. was killed Saturday afternoon by
being buried under tons of brick in the
yard of No. 81 Essex street. The body
was removed to SDeer's morgue. Philip
Hilkin, of No. IS Park street, was also
badly injured. Jacques leaves a bride of
a week.
For some days past several men en-
ployed by Sommers have been engaged in
tearing down brick chimney, which was
originally 125 feet high. On Saturday af-
ternoon the work had progressed SO far
| that there were but 65 feet of the cylinder
of brick left standing and the men de-
cided to undermine it enough to permit OF
its being pulled down with rope. The
work of undermining had reached a point
where all that was left were few tiers
of brick to obstruct the pulling down of
| the mass. The rope was fastened about
| it in the proper manner and the remaining
| tiers which it was necessary to remove
| were slowly giving way under the ham
mering of Hilkin.
| He had about finished the job when
Jacques came along and offered advice as
| to how the work should be DONE The
sworkmen who saw the whole affair say
that he commented frequently on the man
ner in which the bricks were being re-
moved and dwelt upon the advisability of
knocking away one tier of brick in par
tfcular. The bricks he referred to had
/ been carefully avoided up to the time he
made his appearance, because it was
feared their removal would undermine the
chimney to dangerous degree. Jacques
| it is said remarked
KNOCK this tier out and we'll have it
down in a minute" He pointed to the tier
which had been all along avoided Hilken
replied:
Leave that tier alone" Then Hilken
| dropped his huge hammer and stepped a
few feet away to give some other detail
his attention.
Jacques picked up the hammer, and
with few well directed blows had the
tier of bricks flying from under the Chin
| ney. There was sudden rumble as the
chimney swayed and the bricks constitut-
| ing It parted. With a yell of fear Jacques
Jumped to avoid the falling mass AS he
! jumped Hilkin jumped and the men col
| lided. Jacques rebounded and Hilkin was
| thrown backward.
Down came the great mass of brick and
| mortar both men were buried Under the
debris. Jacques was in the centre of the
pile and Hicken was on the outskirts.
In flash half dozen men gathered
about the pile of brick and realized the
terrible catastrophe, and that the lives
| of two of their companions were in dam
ger. They worked like beavers and soon
had Hilkin from under the bricks. He
was unconscious, but he was quickly re-
vived. The men reached Jacques just in
| time to hear his last gasp. He was dead
before anyone could touch him.
Jacques was married a week ago. His
brother was on the scene a few minutes
after the fatal accident and was greatly
affected.

CHRIST HOSPITAL APPEAL
This Year Has Been Ex-
pensive and Money Is
Needed.

The following letter has been issued b,
the Board of Managers of Christ Hospital
In 1889 Christ Hospital was able, by
the generous aid of its friends, to pay
All Its expenses for that year, leaving
surplus at its end of about $500.
This year, 1900, the demand upon the
hospital has been very largely in
creased, SO much so that it has been
forced to add cots in it's wards to care
for those unable to pay even very
small sum. In the nine months of this
year the hospital has received but very
iittle aid from its friends who have, in
the past, given liberafly toward its sup
port, this being especially the case
with those living in Hudson county,
most of the contributions towards the
expenses having come from those out
OF the State As for instance, lady
who has been travelling in Europe for
several years, who has never seen the
hospital, has twice in each year (Apri1
and October), sent to us 500, and, if
possible, gets a friend to add check
of $1G0 to come with it.
The hospital in the past nine months
OF 1900 has taken care of 1913 patients,
of whom 724 were absolutely free. 1t
gives to every patient. whether they
Z pay or not, the same care and atten-
ton, and such attention is as good as
can be obtained in any hospital. 1t is
the earnest desire of its management
that you be asked to make a contri-
button, that the good work now being
done by 1t may be continued, and that
II you feel so disposed that such be
made between now and November 15
In making contributions please do so
by check payable to the order of Christ
Hospital, and mail the same to its
treasurer, Mr.. r. w. Elliott, at No. "a
Bentley avenue, Jersey City.
