KILLED BY THE FILlPlNoS.
Trenton and Atlantic City Boys
Shot in Battle.

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News.'o
TRENTON, Sept. "a, 1904 dispatch
from Washington received here Friday
night, stated that Thomas Mulrey, son of
Letter carrier Michael Mulrey of No. 424
Princeton avenue, who was member of
Company L, Fifteenth Infantry, was killed
at Mavitac, Luzon, in the Philippines, last
Sunday in an engagement with the enemy.
Mulrey was twenty years old. He enlisted
IN the Fifteenth Infantry on November a.
1898, and was sent to Savannah, from
which place his regiment went to Puerto
Principe Cuba, where it was stationed for
thirteen months. Last spring the Fifteenth
was transferred to Governors Island, New
York.
On August 1 last the regiment was or
dered to San Francisco, the understand
ing being that it was to go to China.
The soldiers family supposed that he had
gone to China, and when they heard of
his name among the casualties reported
in the recent fight at Mavitac they forced
themselves to believe that some mistake
had been made. But the official list, sent
from Washington last night, settled all
doubts. His term of enlistment would
have expired in a year.
One Atlantic City boy, Sergeant Evre-
mond DeFIart, son of Justice of the Peace
Charles U. DeHart, was killed, and an
other, Everett Matlack, whose mother re-
sides on New York avenue, was seriously
wounded in the disastrous fight between
ninety men of Company L, Fifteenth In
fantry, and a band of 800 Filipino in
surgents at Mavitac, in Laguna province
on Sunday last.

FOR SCHOOLLESS CHILDREN
Board of Education to Confer
With Board of Finance.

The Committee of the Whole of the
Board of Education will meet Wednesday
afternoon and then go before the Board
of Finance to discuss the crowded state
of the schools and If possible provide for
the seating of the many scholars now
shut out.
Director Walter K. Birdsall of No. IA
school, on Union street, which school is
perhaps the worst crowded of any in the
city, stated this morning that Finance
Commissioner Ringle had requested him to
secure estimates on the proposed addition
to the school The addition will probably
cost $4,000. Some of the Directors have
spoken of erecting new school alongside
the old building. This would cost less
than the addition, it is said. There is
much opposition to the plan asking for a
separate building. Director Birdsall wants
the addition and will furnish estimates at
the meeting.
NO Il School is badly overcrowded.
There are a dozen halliday classes and
tnere IS much kicking as a result. Mr..
tBirdsall will endeavor to have the project
pushed to definite conclusion.

sLAHDER SUIT ENDS.
Eichhorn's Counsel Consents to a
Non-suit.

When the SANDER suit In which Post
master Charles Eichhorn, of West Hobo
ken, is the plaintiff and George Klahr-
mann, of the same town, the defendant,
was called by Judge Nevius in the Cir
cult Court this morning. Yawyer George
McEwan, representing Klahrmann, re-
newed his motion for non-suit. William
H Speer Jr., tn plaintiffs counsel, made
no objection to the granting Of the mo-
ton, and thus fizzled out the sensational
trial which was expected to disclose the
true inwardness of the Republican FAC
tional fights of recent years.
Eichorn is an organization man and
Klahrmann a follower of ex-Congressman
McEwan Eichorn claimed that Klahr-
man had accused him of stuffing the
ballot box at a primary in West Hoboken
and instituted suit for $1,000 damages.
When the case was called several months
ago the defendants counsel, at the con-
clusion of the plaintiffs testimony, asked
for non-suit on the ground that the
plaintiff had not proven his case, but
Echhorn's counsel obtained stay of
proceedings to enable him to amend his
declaration. Evidently he was not able to
amend it satisfactorily to himself for he
cherfully submitted to a non-suit this
morning.

of cruelty eliminated on January 80, 1900,
in a vicious attack upon her in which he
knocked her down and beat her. One of
her legs was broken and she was other
wise so severely bruised that she had to
be taken to st. Francis Hospital She

effects of these injuries. The Vice Chan
cellor allowed Mrs. Murtha SIS counsel

urday Afternoon.

bert Hoisting Engine Company's Guards
was held Saturday afternoon at Greenville
Schuetzen Park. Two special cars which
were chartered to bring them from New
ark arrived at the park about half-past
twelve. breakfast was served Immediately
after their arrival. AS soon as the wants
of the inner man had been satisfied the
men repaired to the rifle ranges, where a
spirited competition was held.
There were some very fine shots among
the target company and considerable
rivalry existed. The result of the contest
could not be made known, as each man
had an individual target which was col
lected by the committee in charge and
held them to measure after the return to
Newark
Dinner was served at 4:90, and then the
men ran impromptu races as an aid to
digestion.
The party left for home about six
O'Clock, having spent an enjoyable day.
There were just seventy-seven men in the
company and that lucky number was said
by some to be greatly responsible for the
good time all had.
The captain of the company was John
Buchmer, and the management of the
affair was in the hands of Henry Retzel

THOUGHT THEY HAD A MURDER.

Suggestions of a CORY mystery were fur
nished to the Hobpken police by the find
ing of bloody shirt on the hillside near
Eighth street yesterday morning. The
shirt was in shreds and had been veritably
dyed in blood. It was ghastly enough to
warrant an immediate investigation
The investigation which was ordered by
the Detective Bureau exploded the mur-
der mystery. A couple of small boys
were located who had seen a man divest
himself of the crimsoned article of raj
ment on the hillside and then hurry off
The boys said he appeared to be bleeding
profusely about the face, 1t Is supposed
the fellow figured In some brawl Of other
and was. forced to use the shirt for a
mop cloth.

Winters Programme Promises
Many interesting Con-
tests.

The Keramic Art Club has returned
triumphant from its exhibition at the Trf-
State Fair. 1t has returned richer by
medal and a diploma. Although no one
member received recognition over
another, because they all sent their best
pieces for the occasion, and talent is
pretty well equalized in the Keramic Club.
Three glass cases were used. In one was
the collection of placques presented to
Mrs. BROWNIE the president. at the close
of the season last June. In another case
was a fine collection of punch bowls and
stems, and in the third was collection

bers of the w. Hepsley Association and
Suburban Club engaged in tug of war
resulting in victory by the Hepsley men
by two inches. Dinner followed and at
seven o'clock the return journey was
begun. Hampered by the lugubrious
strains of misguided pair of fiddles, a
wheezy clarionet a cracked contra-bass
and a noisy cornet, Mr.. Harry Morgan
and Mr.. Andy Hart essayed to sing. AS
everything goes on an outing the accom-
paniment (?) was tolerated with a sup
pressed desire to throw the orchestra
overheard.
The arrangements for the day were car
ried out to the letter and the result was
one of the most enjoyable excursions held
this summer.
