HE HAD THE LAST WORD.
Kaufman Said 81 Told You
So" But He Had to Go to
Jail to Do 1t.

The patience of the regulars" who kill
time in the First Criminal Court and make
the air of that not over inviting room
worse, was rewarded this morning. This
crowd of loafers, about twenty in all, may
be seen lounging about the rear of the
room from $3.50 in the morning until court
adjourns. This morning they had a rare
opportunity of seeing a real live actress
off the e-indignant, bitter and pic
turesque.
She was prisoner-'NI.ss Nellie Gilsey''
She admitted that was her ''stoige name"
She was mad because she was prisoner
She was picturesque in many ways. The
most notable feature was her hair 1t
was dark and dressed Clio DE Merode
fashion. She wore a great hat that was
the object of much comment by the women
in the court. 1t was very large and fell
down over her eyes. There were many
feathers, ribbons, buckles and quantity
of veil-like material all over it, Under
that creation Of millinery was an attrac-
tive face. She wore a summer dress of
light material with little spots on it.
By her side stood a man who, she said,
was her husband. He is Jacob Kaufman,
a salesman, of Mo. Ga Essex street The
pair were arrested for quarrelling in the
street by Patrolman Daily. The arrest
was made about ten O'Clock last night.
Kaufman and his wife Were standing at
the corner of Washington and Montgom-
cry streets evidently waiting for a car.
They appeared to be arguing about some
thing. The woman carried a valise. A
Newark car rounded the corner and the
woman stepped out to board it. Kaufman
took her by the arm, however, and held
her until the car passed and she was un-
able to overtake it.
Severa people stoppe to see the affair.
The man was heard to say: you won't
go to Newark, I tell you.'
st will go and nothing will stop me-"
was the reply from the woman.
A crowd began to collect. They saw the
pair struggle for the possession of the
vahse. The crowd grew bigger. Police
man DAILY came along in time DO see the
pair struggle and hear the woman say
81 will go to Newark"
DAILY placed the pair under arrest and
took them to the Gregory street police
station The man stayed there all night
and the woman. was sent to the woman's 8
prison in Oakland avenue.
Police Justice Hoos paroled them this
morning with warning. AS the pair left

''Well, you didn't go to Newark" There
was no reply and for once the man had

ENGAGEMENTS DON'T GO.
Ferris Took Sergeant Fry's
Breath Away.

Friends are sometimes very bad things
to meet. Such was the case last night
with George f. Ferris of No SO3 Magnolia
avenue and his brother Joseph of No.
1874 Union street The brothers went for
bicycle ride in the afternoon. They were
caught at Bergen Point without any
lamps because they met an old friend and
their "reminiscences delayed their return.
When at Boulevard, near Danforth ave-
nue., Patrolman Clemenson spied them
and ordered halt. His voice must have
been weak for they went right on. Giving
chase on his wheel Clemenson caught up
to the party and again ordered them to
stop. George Ferris in trying to stop
quickly fell into Clemenson's wheel. The
front rim of Clemenson wheel was brok-
en- and the spokes were bent.
When ON the way to the Fifth precinct
police station the brothers threatened to
see all the Police Commissioners and
make trouble for Clemenson. They reach
ed the sation house, nevertheless.
The Sergeant at the desk held their
wheels and ordered them to appear this
morning at the Oakland avenue court at
eight.
George Ferris said he was sorry but he
had an important engagement and it
would be impossible. He was to take his
family at the Highlands, he said.
When Sergeant Fry recovered his
breath he tried to explain to the brothers
Ferris that engagements did not count.
The brothers left, one saying he would
surely be at court and the other worrying
about his trip to the Highlands. They
were warned that if they did not appear
they would suffer for it.

STATE ENToMoLoGIsT RETURNS.
Made Tour Through Europe in In
terest of Jersey Fruit Growers.

Especial to 'sThe Jersey City News."1
NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug. 4, 1900-Pro-
fessor J. b. Smith, State entomologist at
the New Jersey State Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station, who was sent abroad
in May as special commissioner of the
State Agricultural School to study the
restrictions and quarantine regulations as
to fruit in foreign countries with a view
to enabling New Jersey fruit growers to
gain access to foreign markets, has re-
turned home. He will submit the result
of his Investigations n a special report
that will be of the utmost interest to fruit
growers throughout the enire counry, but
especially New Jersey. He gave a re-
porer brief summary of his projected
report.
He finds conditions unpromising in
France. French officials apply the law to
the letter, show no discrimination and
successfully prevent any American fruit
getting into the French markets. If any
fruit is got through it is by unwinding
so much red tape that the fruit is spoiled
before it can be used. Belgium uses so
little fruit that it's markets offer no in
ducement.
Conditions in Germany are much more
promising. A great deal of fruit is used
there, the demand is large, and the laws
restricting Importation of fruit are ad-
ministered in a common-sense way. DIR.
Brick. chief of the health department, in
an interview with Professoe Smith, stated
that American fruit was usually of fine
quality, and if the packers would only
pack their fruit properly, ready market
could be secured. Fp
The packing of the large fruit on top
and the small stuff underneath does not
deceive the inspectors, as every barrel in
ten is dumped out and the entire lot
judged as a result of such examination.
Professor Smith said that there are no
orchards in Germany to compare with
those in New Jersey and that the Ger
man markets ought to be Of immense
value to Jersey growers.
Germany is desperately afraid of the
San Jose scale. and If single scale is
discovered on a single apple the entire
shipment is excluded. though there might
be a thousand barrels untainted.
Professor Smith states that the Ameri-
ca nfruit exhibit at the Taris EXPOSE
tion surpasses that fevery other nation,
and that he interest of American fruit
growers win be benefited to an lncalcu-
able degree thereby.

in Private OAfce.

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News."1
TRENTON, Aug. 4. 1sO0.-State Librarian
Henry C. Buchanan has had a handsome
new bookcase installed in his private
office yesterday. The extra case was made
necessary because of the increased NUM-
ber of valuable books that the State LII
brarian keeps in his own office.
The installation of the new bookcase
has necessitated the removal of some of
the portraits from the librarians office.
They will now be hung in the general IL
brary.
With the exception of the portrait Of
Colonel Morris R. Hamilton. none was a
particular gem of art, so that their re-
moval will not detract from the beauty of
the office.
The portrait of Colonel Hamilton is a
clever painting, handsomely framed, and

Mr.. Buchanan.

Gentlemen" began Mr.. Vredenburgh,
death has reaped rich harvest among
the bar of this County during this year
We first lost Attorney General Stockton,
then Chancellor McGill, few weeks ago
Justice Lipppincott and now William D..
Daily. Mr.. Daily was man whose pro-
gress at the bar and in the political field
was remarkable beginning at the low

short his career to what position of en-
inence might he not have attained?''

Messrs James f. Minturn, John Griffin
and Jarvis N. Atkinson, committee to

Almighty God having removed from

acquired great fame at the bar of this
State, where his experience, eloquence
and learning in the law, together with
his genial and generous qualities as a
man and companion, had drawn to him
the respect and esteem of his con-

CAUGHT THIEF BY EXPRESS
Jersey Girl Who Lost Com
mutation Ticket Took
Best Elevator.

There Is a warning to sneak thieves who
operate in the offices of some of the lofty
buildings downtown in New York in the
fate of Frank Rill, whose present address
is the Tombs. He chose the st. Paul
building and the office of Dowd & Ken
nedy for his operations. The office is on
the nineteenth floor.
He entered the place and the nearest
thing of value in sight was pocketbook
belonging to Katherine Nevins. the stem
ographer. Rill grabbed it from a desk and
rashed for the elevator. Miss Nevins heard
him from an inner room and ran out just
in time to see her pocketbook and the
stranger disappear.
There was s2.61 in the purse and COM
muter's ticket between New York and
Plainheld, N. j., where the stenographer
lives. When she realized that her com
mutation ticket for August, with only
three holes punched in it, was in danger,
the stenographer was nerved to action.
The thief had caught an elevator and al
ready was shooting downward toward the
sidewalk in safety. Miss Nevins caught
the next car. By great good fortune it
was the express elevator, and the robber
was riding on the accommodation, which
stops at all floors.
When Bill landed in the lobby of the St
Paul building the stenographer and John
j. Chapman, the elevator starter, were
waiting for him. Chapman grabbed him,
but the man put up a fight, after he re-
covered from his surprise, and the two
wrestled all the way out into Broadway
where policeman interfered, the man
was arrested.
He handed the pocketbook to Miss
Nevins and begged to be released, but he
was lugged off to cell, and the police
man amused himself by telling his pris-
oner that there was a $500. bill in the
pocketbook, which Bill hadn't had time
to open. In Centre street Court yesterday
Miss Nevins identified him, and he wa:

237 Seventh street, at the time was cross
ing Sixth street in the near vicinity. The
steer made for him. The lad turned and
was butted in the abdomen. Fortunately
the steers horns had been sawed off close
to its skull. Otherwise the boy would
have been disembowled. AS it was he was

giving him another gore rushed ON over
the lad up Sixth street, it turned into
Newark avenue and continued its course
on through West Newark avenue. 1t was
discerned by Mounted Policeman Coyle
