NEWARKERS IN FOR 1T
Entomo1ogists Says Mosquitoes Are
TO Be Worse and More of Them.

Especial to 'sThe Jersey City News."l
NEWARK, Aug. 21, 190l.-Expert Jersey
entomologists sent out the statement yes
terday that there would be more mos
quitoes than ever in the vicinity of New
ark during the next six weeks. The ad-
vancing hordes, it Is said, will be small
enough to enter the ordinary screens and
large enough to satisfy both their hunger
and thirst on the average citizen.
Newarkers have never suffered more
from mosquitoes than this summer, and
the anticipation of a still more lively
battle with this nuisance is driving some
of them to distraction.
Experiments which have been under
way all summer at the State station at
New Brunswick prove that the salt
meadow lands between this city and
Elizabeth are the greatest breeding
places for thtse insects. It is claimed,
however, that the meadow mosquitoes
will not carry disease germs as readily
as mosquitoes bread near stagnant or
slowly flowing inland waters
The entomologists say something must
be done soon to rid New Jersey of this
pest. Millions of dollars worth of prop
erty are being wasted and land valua-
tions have never been as high as they
would be were there no mosquitoes.

A HOLY TERROR
Boyle Held Up Men and
Women Indiscrimin-
ately in Bergen
Square.
LOOKING FOR DESERTER
When Arrested He Said He
Was a United States
Marshal.
LOOKING FOR DESERTER


John Boyle, who said he was United
States Deputy Marshal in search of de-
serrer from the United States army by the
name of Murray, managed to create con-
siderable excitement at Bergen Square
and incidentally to terrorize pedestrians.
Armed with a billy Boyle stationed
himself in the middle of the square. From
this point he rushed upon passersby
fiourishing his billy and shouting wildly.
He pursued men and women mpartially,
with the result that several women were
badly frightened. He did not strike any
one, so far as known. 1t appeared to be
his desire simply to frighten people.
After he had enjoyed this sport for
about half an hour Patrolman Pangborn
came along and gathered him In. He
threatened the officer and at first refused
to go to the station house. A little well
directed force on the part of the officer
caused him to change his mind and he
went.
1t was at the Fourth precinct station
house that he made the statement that
he was U. S. deputy marshal. He had
badge, revolver and pair of hand
cuffs.
This morning in the Second Criminal
Court Judge Murphy fined him S..

MANY DEATHS IN SUIT.
Series Of Fatalities Fol-
lows the Sale Of
Land.

A remarkable series of fatalities seems
to have followed the suit of Mrs. Marie
Banninger against the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Railroad. Commenced
over decade and half ago, the plair-
tiff and five others interested in the case
have passed away, the last being Coun-
selor Flavel MCGEE, who was the nomi-
nal defendant and now the suit must
practically be begun over again.
Twenty-four years ago Mrs. BaliT,inger,
a widow sold a piece of property at Mea-
dow and Water streets to the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroad for
$4,000 1t is claimed that TO facilitate
the transfer she had previously deed the
property to ex-Congressman William u.
Daily.
The railroad company paid $500 of the
purchase price but left 81, 500 IN the hands
of their counsel, Bedle, Muirhead & Nc
Gee to be paid when judgments against
DAILY were cancelled. The late Supreme
Court Justice Job H. Lippincott, then q
practcing lawyer with an office opposite
the Court House, was Mrs. Balininger's
counsel. Soon afterwards he was appoint
ed to the bench of the Court of Quarter
Sessions and abandoned his practice.
Dlaey in waiting for tn expiration of
tn estatute limitations of the Daily
judgmnets p rsvented the case being
pushed sooner and in the meantime
Mr. Balninger died. He has John J.
Kuhn, of No. Sc Duffiled street, Jersey
City, and Mrs. Mary Snydre and Mrs.
Farrell of Nwe York, children, then en-
gagged Lawyer C. c. Hendrick OF push the
case In the meantime Ex-Governor
Redle and William Muirhaed of the firm
which was mad tehe nominal defendants
OF tn eaction dide. Justice Lippincott
also passed away and suit was brought
gainst Counselor Flavel McGee the only
surviving mmber of the original defend
ant firm.
Mr.. McGee's recent death, q weke after
suit against him was commenced, again
upset the plans of the plaintiff, and the
executors of his will will now be sub
stituted for from dfendants to tn esuit.

that Dr. Ward was superintendent thes
had to do the same. but Drs. Buooipn
and Ward were fine executive onlcers,
and it is great pity that DR.. Ward was
deprived of any of his authority, Tor
when everyone and everything was under
his authority, all went smoothly and
everyone received ample justice.
This may be revelation to His Excel
lency. the Governor of New Jersey and
I hope the Board of Managers will have
the aid of his advice on the subject
And 1 hope Lawyer Backes will be
satisfied with the answer to his milk ques-
tion.
The latest married employe lucky
enough to get house belonging to inc
State is the Warden's coaehman. He
works in the same stable with DR.. Ward ;
coacnman. Both have about equal work
to do, yet DR.. Wards coachman gets but
s24 per month and board, while the war
denis coachman gets $27 and board, free
house, four tons of coal per year, light
and one quart of milk per day.
II the wardens coachman is worth so
many privileges, surely DR.. Ward
coachman should be worth two or three
dollars per month more. But sucn is asy-
lun: justice. AN EMFLOi H.

BREWING co.'s TROUBLES
Latest Is a $4,000 SIander Suit BY
Ono Of It's Eruuloves.

Troubles in connection with the new
Hudson County Consumers Brewing Com
pany in West Hoboken appear to be with
out end. First was the prolonged strike
of the United Building Trades against the
contractor who was erecting the building
employing non-union labor; then came the
difficulty arising from certain members of
the board of directors voting themselves
into lucrative offices, and now comes a
$3.50 SANDER suit brought by Lawyers
MeEwan & McEwan against Frank Jun
ker, on behalf of Fritz Wohlfahrt who
was employed as night watehman at
the brewery.
The action is one in tort and in the
papers filed with Sheriff Ruempler this
morning Wohlfahrt declares that on July
26 last, Junker, in the presence of several
of his y, est Hoboken friends, asserted
that sshe," meaning Wohlfarht, allowed
materials to be taken from the building
and was paid to say nothing about such
stealings."
AS a result of this sianderous remark
the plaintiff says that his former friends
and neighbors in West Hoboken, who for
merly held him in good repute, refuse to
longer talk to or associate with him.
The summons is returnable August q
before the Supreme Court at Trenton.
