Miss Teresa Sack. as she is known TO
the authorities, who lived at No. 233 Ninth
street when last seen, has suddenly left
town and a horde of complainants are
eagerly searching for her to charge her
with swindling them out of thousands OF
dollars worth of goods.
Miss Sack was arrested week ago on
almost a hundred complaints made by
wholesale merchants of New York City,
who said that the woman had opened
store at No 264 Newark avenue, where
she did a general dry goods business.
Sne stocked the store with goods re-
celved on. credit and sold them As fast as
She could and, the complaints say, never
made any payments to those from whom
she bought.
Isaac Goldenhorn was her counsel and
when the case was called for hearing
on Tuesday he presented to the court a
certificate signed by two physicians IN
which it was set forth that Miss Sack
was too i'll to appear in court. The case
was adjourned then for week. This
morning Mr.. Goldenhorn appeared before
Justice Hoos in the First Criminal Court

SMALLPOX SPREADING.
Of the 80 Cases in November
Only Four Were Fatal.

The epidemic of smallpox in Hudson
county is gradually spreading. During
the last few days nine new cases have
been reported to the County Board of
Health, as follows:-Thomas Carlan, No.
1904 Newark avenue; McGown, age
twenty-one, of No. 244 Wayne street,
and three children named Fitzgerald, at
No. 1S9 Wayne street.
Two cases were reported today from
No. 13 East Twenty-second street, Bay
onne They are a child named Cokey.
age three years, and another named
Kohler, age four years.
Two cases were reported yesterday
from Hoboken. They are two children
of the family named Schen, and live on
Park avenue, near Fifth street. The nine
latest victims have all been sent to the
smallpox hospital at Snake Hill.
The record for the month of Novem-
Der was forty;-three cases and one vari-
ment since the first outbreak OF the cpl
demic. Out of the thirty-nine cases of
continent smallpox that have been treat
been four deaths. The last victim was
Mrs Martin of No. 753 Tonnele avenue.
She died Sunday, her case being compli-
Gated because of approaching maternity.
The treatment resorted to by Drs. Con-
verse and King has kept the death rate
down to nine per cent of all the cases
SO far cared for. In the recent outbreak
in London, England. the death rate was a
fraction over fifteen per cent.
The good showing made by Drs.- Con-
verse and King is the subject of much
commentator. At the meeting of the
Board of Freeholders last night letters
were received from William McCloskey
of Kearny avenue, Greenville, and from
his friends thanking those physicians and
the Board and the trained nurses at the
hospital for the attention given to him

TROLLEY TALK
President E. F. G. Young,
John D. Crimmins and
David Young Confer.
ALL ABOUT STREET RAILWAYS
Several Innovations of In
terest to the Public Fully
Discussed.
ALL ABOUT STREET RAILWAYS

President E. F. c. Young, Messrs. John
d. Crimmins and David Young, of the
executive board of the directors of the
North Jersey Street Railway Company,
had long talk this morning about many
matters of interest to the public via the
Traction Company. There are several
innovations under discussion which will
be highly beneficial to the travelling
public.
First among these is the question Of
more power. So rapidly has the business
of the company advanced that the officials
see that lines must be advanced and more
care provided for public travel. While
the present power house on the west side
of the Passaic River is sufficient for the
present demands, at the rate travel and
business is increasing will be totally in
adequate in a year or two or even less.
Townships are building up on the line
of the Traction Company's roads and new
branches are becoming necessities. To
meet these requirements an addition to
the present power house is imperative
and the company have now under con-
sideration plans for an extensive building
When this is finished there will be ample
power for all the new lines projected.
More power, extended lines necessarily
involves the question of more cars,
quicker connections and a general re-
arrangement of the schedule. On main
lines a shorter headway is undoubtedly
desirable and this will mean additional
cars. The Executive Board are now fin
ishing plans which will give the facilities
so much desired on every branch of the
system.
1t may be soon that the company will
initiate the Brooklyn Railroad Company
and rum during theatre hours, special
drawing room car. These will leave the
Bergen Point end, West Side avenue
junction and other prominent points in
thickly populated districts for places
downtown.
During the hours of to in the morn
ing downtown from outlying points extra
cars will be run for business people and
again in the evening from the P. R. R.
ad Erie R. r. Co.'s ferries during the
hours of $50 and P. M. cars will be
started at very short intervals.
1t is the purpose of the company to
meet in every way the demand of the
people for plenty of car accommodation
and rapid transit.
