Romans Brought Apples to England.

Of all the productions of the vegetable world which the skill and ingenuity of man have rendered conducive to his hap piness and to the increase of his enjoy ments the apple stands forward as the most conspicuous. It is now fruit crop of universal growth, and although the most beautifully sun-stained eX- amples reach us at various periods of the year from Canada and California and the temperate regions of our great Aus tralian colonies. for flavor none of them equal those grown in England. The garden apple Is believed to have been introduced into Britain by the Romans and the wild apple of our neighbors is the type of the fruit when left to degen- crate, and to which 1t would speedily return but for constant culture.

TO SET ASIDE DECREE.
Mrs. Webb Asks That Her
Husbands Divorce Be
Declared Invali-
dated.

An action is being begun in the Su-
preme Court of New York by Mrs. Daniel
c. Webb. of No S19 Hawthorne avenue,
Jersey City, against her husband to have
divorce which he obtained from her in
Wyoming set aside. The papers are all
prepared and will probably be served on
her husband within day or two.
Mr.. Webb is the brother-in-law of Tilly
Haines, proprietor of the Broadway Cen
trail Hotel, and manages the hotel for
him. The suit is based on the grounds
handed down in the recent United States
Supreme Court decision affecting divorces
Mrs. Webb, although her husband has
been divorced from her over year, has
continued to live under her married name
She is twenty-seven years of age Her
maiden name was Benjamin, and her
father has been prominent in local poll
tics in Jersey for many years
Mrs. Webb married her husband when
she was but sixteen. 1t was a runaway
match. About two years ago Webb took
up his residence in Cheyenne and brought
suit for divorce. He obtained a decree
and came back to this city, where he
married Mrs. Jenkins sister of Tnly
Haines
Mrs. Webb said that her husband had
absolutely no ground on which to obtain
a divorce.
Webb, when seen at the Broadway
Central Hotel, said:-
AT the time 1 began my action for
divorce my wife was served with papers
in the case, but she made no defense.
If she was not willing that I should OBJ
tain my decree she should have fought
it then.
the divorce stand. have known that my
wife intended TO bring this suit ever since
I obtained my decree. While no papers
have been served on me, she may have
begun the suit by an application to a
court of some kind. I have heard that
the papers are ready

out the night watchman. Jules and Col
umbo were to saw the bars of the bath
room window at the southern end of the
corridor and after the night watchman
had been knocked out the prisoners were
to escape through this window with the
assistance of their confederates on the
outside.
Warden Sullivan said this morning that
he had first become suspicious that some
thing of the king was afoot about week
ago when he was told to look out for
Hilton and Seton, who would get out IL
they got the chance. Last Saturday
night he noticed two or three men loi-
tering about the Jail in suspicious man
ner. One was finally seen to come from
the grounds on the west side of the jail
on which the corridor containing the cells
of the prisoners in question were located.
On Monday and Tuesday evenings the
same men were noticed lettering about.
The unusually large correspondence of
the prisoners with their wives and other
outside parties also served to increase
suspicion and the interception of one of
the letters was agreed on with the result
stated.
When Seton and Hilton were brought
into court by Sheriff Ruempler this morn
ing their wives We're among the specta-
tors. Both men knew that their plot had
been discovered and each shook his head

new JOB FOR M'GILL.
He Is to Be Asked to Kill All
the Mosquitoes.

The West Bergen Improvement Associ-
alton intends to agitate the matter of Sc
curing some means of killing off the
working forces of the mosquito. President
Russell of this association made a long
and earnest plea to the newly organized
Central Association a week ago, asking
them to combine in an effort to induce
the Board OF Health to give relief from
the murderous onslaught of these pests.
He based his argument on the ground
that property owners should not be al
lowed to have taH grass and weeds grow
ing on their lands which, he claimed,
were excellent sleeping places for the
pests. He wants the Board of Health to
pass an ordinance compelling residents
10 destroy all resting places SO that the
mosquito will be compelled, as ''Foxey
Quiller'' says, '.to take to the tall grass
in the meadow lands, leaving good peo-
pie on the Heights to rest in peace.
Various Improvement associations prom
ised to take up the matter at their next
meetings. What results may be obtained
is simply a matter of speculation, but the
attention of DIR. McGill will probably be
directed from his task of purifying the
town when he receives a score of appeal
ing petitions asking him to help kill off
the mosquitoes.

SENTENCE POSTPONED.
Jahr, Kelly and Necker Get a
Delay While Speer Ar
ranges His Argu-
ment.

At the request of Counselor William H.
Speer, Jr., and with the concurrence of
Prosecutor Erwin, Judge Blair this
morning postponed the sentencing of DR..
Richard Jahr, Undertaken William Neck
CT and Thomas Kelly, who were recent
ly convicted in an Indictment charging
them with conspiracy to 1efraud the Col
onial Life Insurance Company by insur-
ing the life of Anthony Winston, who
was supposed to be dying of consumption
Mr. Speer said that on account of the evil
the Prosecutor had agreed with him to
postpone the argument on a motion for
a new trial.
Judge Blair said that it was his i'm
preston that under the statutes sentence
should be pronounced before application
for new trial was made.
Lawyer Speer thought that before SEN
tence was pronounced a motion could be
made to set aside verdict and applica-
ton then made for a new trial.
"There is no restriction as to the time
in which counsel can make any motion
they see fit," said Judge Blair.
Prosecutor Erwin said that the proper
motion now would be application for a
postpenement of sentence.
Judge Blair agreed and the matter was
laid over till next Thursday when SEN
tence will be pronounced unless the Court
in the meantime concludes that it can
act on the motion for new trial with
out imposing sentence.

DROWNED MAN FOUND.

Another mysterious case of drowning
came to the notice of the police yester-
day afternoon, when the body of man
was fished out of the canal at the foot
of Washington street. The morgue now
within three days.
The man discovered yesterday was
about five feet eight inches tall On the
body We're gray coat, blue striped
trousers and black and white shirt In
the pockets were knife, comb, twenty
seven cents and few old letters, but
nothing to lead to Identification.
One of the letters was addressed to
Dora Williams, No. 139 Bloomfield street,
Hoboken. This letter was written by
Valentine Williams, a prisoner in the
Hudson County Jail. Another letter
written by Martin Connors, also a pris-
oner in the jail, was also found on the
dead man. Williams and Connors said
they had given the letters to John Gal
lagher, a longshoreman, when he was
discharged from the jail on April "a, for
delivery. Gallagher had served three
months.
Morgue Keeper Sppeer received word
from the County Jail this morning that
the man was in Jail there a few days
ago under the name of John Gallagher
of Pavonia avenue. Investigation showed
that ne was not known at the address
given.
Mrs. Williams came over from Hoboken
this morning but said that she did not
know the man nor had she seen him be-
fore How he got a letter with her name
IN If she could NOT exDlain G
The case is probably suicide The po-
lice believe he gave fictitious name
when locked up a few weeks ago.

LIFE INSURANCE FRAUD.
Consumptive italian Substi-
tuted Healthy Specimen
in Examination.

Vincent Frisco, twenty-eight years old,
and Silvio Daltilo, twenty-nine years old,
| both of No. $50 First street, are prisoners
at Police Headquarters today on a charge
of consppiring to defraud the Metropolis
| tan Life Insurance Company They were
arrested at their home last night shortly
after o'clock by Detectives McNaly and
Clark of the Detective Bureau, who have
been busy on the case for several days.
The men were arraigned before Police
Justice Hoos this morning in the First
Criminal Court and held in $1,000 bail
each for further examination. They did
not furnish bonds. The complainant in
the case is Bernard j. Flynn, superin-
tendent of the local branch of the com
pany. The story of the attempted fraud
is told by the company's representative.
They say that a year or more ago
Frisco sought out John J. Maxwell, an
agent of the company, and took out a
policy for $500. He became i'll shortly
after and about two months ago he was
declared a consumptive. Then he de-
cided to increase the amount of his policy
to $780, His desire was made known to
the company and Maxwell was sent to
see the man. An engagement with Frisco
to call on DR.. Edward Mulvany for re-
examination was made. AT the appointed
time Frisco made the excuse that he was
too i'll to go out complaining of a general
depression. He asked that DR.. Mulvany
call at his home the next morning. This
was agreed to and the following day Dr.
Mulvany called as requested. He was
met by Frisco and Daltilo.
Frisco palmed Daltilo off as himself
Daltilo could not speak English as ne
been in the country only a few days at
that time. twenty-three days ago. Pris-
co volunteered 10 act as interpreter for
the bogus Frisco. Daltilo is very
healthy Italian and he passed every re-
.quirement and the doctor passed the pol
lck, saying that the risk was good one.
Daltilo signed the name Vincent Frisco.
The two men appeared over anxious and
their actions aroused DR.. Mulvaney's sus-
picions. He wrote on the examination
paper that it looked like case of sub
stitution. When the papers reached the
office of the company Inspector Lewis
was sent out to investigate. He discover
ed enough to place the case in the hands
of the police and the arrests followed.
Before the men were brought to court
this morning they made voluntary state
ments to Chief Murphy, in which they
confessed their guilt Frisco said he
knew that he would not succeed in pass
ing a physicians examination and he
made the arrangement for substitution
with Daltilo, who was ignorant of what
he was really doing. Frisco, through his
COUNSEL Arthur Archibold, said that he
had been advised by Agent Maxwell to
send a substitute to DR.. Mulvaney. The
authorities place no credence in this state
ment, however, and no proceedings
against Maxwell have been started. He
is no longer connected with the company,
as he resigned some time ago to go into
another business.

HELD THE FIRST COURT
Vice Chancellor Stevenson
Opens the New Ghancery
Chambers.

The new Chaneery Chambers in the
Commercial Trust Company building were
opened this morning and Vice Chancellor
Eugene Stevenson was the first Judge to
hold court therein. He had only one mo-
ton and that was ex-parte.
Certainly no one can find fault with the
new suite of rooms, unless it be that they
are too magnificent. The Trust Company
have been very lavish in the appoint
ments of the chambers. Expensive car
pets are laid and the chairs and tables
are fit for a gentlemens dining room.
Dividing courts Nos. and 2 is the
judges retiring room, a comfortable
place, elegantly furnished.
This is pleasant" said the Vice Chan
cellor, strolling to the window, from
which magnificent view of the river
and harbor can be obtained, .and will
make holding court here decidedly agree-
able during the hot weather.
The Sergeant-at-Arms has room all
to himself, and on the other side of court
No. is small room which may be used
either as a smaller court or a conference
room for the lawyers. In few days
everything will be ship-shape and the
Jersey City Chancery Chambers will be
the finest in the State.

LAFAYETTE'S PARK
Committee Will Make Another
Effort to Secure 1t.

The Park Committee of the Lafayette
Citizens Association is going to make
another attempt to get an appropriation
for a park. The success of the Little
Italy park project has given the COM
mittee renewed hope.
Chairman Campbell, of this committee,
says that he believes nothing in the way
of public Improvements can be had un-
less the people fight persistently for
them. There is talk of holding still an
other mass-meeting to discuss the matter.
The owner of the Van Horne site is in
Europe at present, but he will not recede
from his position regarding the purchase
price of $4,000. 1t is generally understood
that the Board of Finance leans toward
the appropriation, but the Street and
Water Board has not been brought
around to the same way of thinking. The
sum of $4,000 was all that Board set aside
for park purposes in Lafayette.
