A GOOD PEAcEMAKER
Vice Chancellor Stevens Settles a
Long Continued Strife.

An order signed yesterday by Vice
Chancellor Stevens brings to a settlement
the long continued strife between Henry
j. Fricke, owner of the flathouse, No.
1874 Wilton street, and Charles Schoerl,
owner of the stable built in the rear of
Mr.. Frickes fathouse, the bad condition
of which Mr. Fricke complained of with
out effect until the Board of Health was
called in
The order signed yesterday requires Mr..
Schoerl to build an eight-inch brick wall
dividing the properties and to construct
a concrete floor to the entire stable, all
the work to be completed within three
weeks. The order requires that the divid-
ing wall shall be at least eighteen feet
high.
The application for the order was made
by Henry J. Melosh for Mr.. Fricke. John
Griffin, counsel for Mr.. Schoerl, argued
over the conditions of the order before it
was presented to Vice Chancellor Stevens
for his signature, but finally agreed that
the demands made by Mr.. Melosh were
reasonable The order was then signed
by the Court, who declared that the
complainant was fully entitled to the
permanent injunction on the proofs sub
mitted, but as the complainant was will
ing to forego his full rights, the Court
would require the conditions of the order
to be carried out within three weeks.

DREW is PENITENT.
Denies He Intended to Steal
Murphy's Rig and Gets Off
With Small Fine.

A man who described himself as Rob-
rert Drew, an agent for Funk & Wagnalls.
the publishers of New York City, was ar
rested yesterday in New Rochelle by De-
tective Prescott of Police Headquarters,
for the theft of a horse and carriage
from Thomas Murphy, livery stable
keeper, of No. 1873 Second street, this city.
The man came here voluntarily with
Prescott and was arraigned before Police
Justice Hoos on a charge Of grand lar
ceny. Drew called at the stables on Fri
day last and engaged the rig on the pre-
tence that he was to go to Newark. He
agreed to return by Il o'clock at night
Saturday morning Mr.. Murphy reported
to the police that the man had not re-
turned, and an alarm was sent out for
his arrest. Police Headquarters was no.
titled yesterday that the man was at New
Rochelle and Prescott went there.
Drew pleaded before Police Justice Hoos
that he was drunk and irresponsible when
he stole the rig, and on this plea the
charge was finally changed to disorderiy
conduct. A fine of $40 was imposed on
the mans promise to pay Mr. Murphy
for the use of the rig, but neither fine nor
Mr.. Murphy's bill have been liquidated.
and Drew is still in the City Prison he
is not an agent for Funk & Wagnall.

FREEHoLDER IN IRELAND
Patrick H. Nugent Writos Of the
Wonders of the Emerald Isle.

Director Holmes, of the Board of Free
holders, has received an interesting let
ter from Freeholder Patrick H. Nugent
of Bayonne who sailed for Ireland on
June "a last.
The letter, which was sent from the
Wicklow Hotel, Dublin, first apologies
for the writer's neglect in not communi-
eating with his colleagues sooner, but ex-
plains that the delay was due to the fact
that he was having such a good time that
he almost forgot he was a F'reeholder or
had promised to write.
Freeholder Nugent said that neither he
nor his wife would ever forget their de-
partur from these shores when little
tug, on board of which were his col
leagues of the Board, tried to race with
the big liner, Oceanic, on which he sailed
He says that they had splendid voy-
age and reached the other side in six
DAYS, since which time he has Travelled
over large part of Ireland. He adds
that he has noticed many changes in his
native land, which to the Director, who
left there forty years ago, would be most
surprising.
The letter concludes:--.I hope the boys
are not giving you any trouble, but for
fear they should tell them am looking
all over Ireland for the finest and heav-
lest blackthorn it can provide to present
to you With it and my assistance we
will manage to keep them within their
appropriations"
The absent Freeholder asks to be re-
membered to all of his colleagues and re-
feres particularly to Leader Davis and
Clerk Egan of the Board He will sail
from Queenstown September and ex-
poets to reach New York on the 18th.

P. R. RS BUSY SEASON
Passenger Traffic the Largest
Known in Summer
lief to Officials.

Never in the history of the Pennsyl-
busy season as that now drawing to a
close. From morning to midnight since
June a steady stream of passengers has
flowed over this part of the system, AMI
that meant heavy work in every depart
ment of the company. Extra trains had'
to be provided and these have brought in
or taken out of the depot thousands of
people daily; one day alone, Labor Day,
the estimate was at least $4,000 Fassen-
gers passed through the gates.
The baggage rooms were sight with
the piles of trunks, boxes and satchels
and everything coming under the head Of
baggage" That meant all night work,
and in spite of the deluge it was han
died and delivered with ASTONISHING
prompitude.
This traffic taxed the Pullman Company
to its fullest limit and often it was on the
verge of impossbility to give accommo-
dation to passengers demanding berths
in sleepers and seats in the parlor cars.
Mr.. James S. Gibbons district supern-
tendent, and his assistant, Mr.. Miller,
however, did wonders and managed to
meet the extraordinary demands for seats
by using every available car.
Station Master Kiefer breathed easily
tEis morning when chatting about the
rush over the lines. He said it was
slackening now and in few days would
probably be almost as bad with the re-
turning tourists from mountain and sea-
shore.

DENOUNCED LYNCHING.
Bishop Walters of Jersey City
Addresses Conference
in London.

Bishop Alexander E. Walters of the
African M. E. Church and a resident of
this city, made an address against lynch
ing yesterday at the Ecumenical Metho-
dist Conference now in session in London,
England.
He said that there was systematic ef-
fort on foot on the part of white Ameri-
cans to destroy the good opinion which
the English people had of American ne
groes. He recapitulated the lynching
figures of the year 1900, and said that
though ninety negroes were lynched, in
only eleven cases had assault on white
women been proved
..'You English people," said the Bishop.
''have always been our friends. You gave
us refuge, and now that we are strug-
Cling to improve ourselves we look TO
you, our old time friends, to give us SYM
pathy and encouragement as you did in
the past"
The bishop was loudly cheered, but
many Southern delegates left the hall as
he spoke of negro morality, while others
showed plainly their disagreement with
his statements.

Adventure With Her
Husbands Work

Bergen Road, complained to the Fifth
precinct police yesterday morning that
she had been assaulted by Phillip Ben
nair, a workman employed by her hus-
band, who conducts cobbler shop. Mrs.
Friedman alleges that the assault was
committed while she was in bed Her
husband was away from home and she
was alone with her two children. She
alleges that figure approached her bed
and placed a clammy hand on her face.
She screamed and the ghost ran into
Bennair's bedroom Then she got up,
opened the store door and sat on the
doorstep until morning. Before she saw
the ghost, she claims that she heard a
noise at the rear door that caused her
to think that a burglar. was trying to get
into the house.
She called to Bennair, who slept in an
adjoining room. but he made no answer.
The noise ceased and she again went to
sleep 1t was after that when she was
awakened by the ghost.
While sitting on the door step Paul
Hoffman, a friend, came along, to whom
she told the story of the burglar trying
to get into the house, but she said moth
ing about the ghost. Hoffman decided to
keep her company so they sat on the
doorstep together. A little later Patrol
man Tier came along. She told him the
story of the alleged burglar, but said
nothing about the ghost. Tier investi-
gated. but could find no trace of a
burglar.
About six o'clock in the morning Mrs
Friedman entered the house and went tc
bed. She fell asleep and a few minutes
later was awakened by a violent blow or
the head which was followed by a blow
on the nose. She looked up and saw
Bonnair standing over her. She screamed
and Bennair fled to his room. She was
badly frightened and remained in bed.
few minutes later she heard Bennair leave
the house. Then she got out of bed anc
sent boy to summon DR.. Lambert. Later
she notified the Fifth precinct police, who
are now looking for Bennair, who, it is
understood, fed to relative in New
York.

suit of the ghosts visit. Her husband

FOR INSULTING WOMEN.

OF His Dramatic Denial Of Guilt.

Charged with insulting women in tho
street and protesting his innocence in a
quavering voice, William Hassin, of No.
74114 Jersey avenue, fell on his knees in
the dock of the First Criminal Court this
morning and prayed for Jesus Christ to
come down and testify to his innocence.
He wept bitterly, but his prayer was cut
short by Justice Hoos and he was adj
judged guilty and fined IS.
Policeman Stratford saw the prisoner
approach a number of ladies in the vicin-
ity of Hamilton Park yesterday afternoon.
Ono lady told the officer that the man
had grossly insulted her and he was al
rested. None of the ladies were in court
this morning, but the officers testimony
was overwhelming against the accused
one. Finding his own word insufficient
Hassin called upon Jesus Christ to bear
witness He paid his fine and went home.

months ago and he has been drunk since.

NEW SMALLPOX HOSPITAL.
Board of Ereeholders Consider the
Erection of Building.

The Committee on County Institutions
of the Board of Freeholders met at Snake
Hill yesterday to select a site for the new
isolation hospital which will be built in
anticipation of the epidemic of smallpox
which County Physician Converse pre-
diets will visit this section.
Owing to the presence of fifteen small
pox victims in the present pest house,
no definite action was taken beyond
agreeing that if County Physician Con-
verse approves of the selection to have
the new hospital erected Immediately adj
joining the present one, which will be
torn down.
The new water supply for use in case of
fire, which has just been completed, was
tested, with most satisfactory results.
The force of water was found to be so
great that stream could be thrown clear
over the almshouse while it required four
men to hold the nozzle of the hose.
A public exhibition of the workings of
the new fire fighting plant will be given
shortly, and the Board of Fire UnderWrit-
ers invited to attend.

.UVALDE NUISANCE.
Health Board Takes Steps
to Guard Against
It's Recurrence.

The Board of Health held short meet
ing last night in the First Criminal Court
room to consider the alleged nuisance
that exists at the plant of the Uvalde
Asphalt Company at the foot of Hudson
street. and it came to the same con-
clusion that it has come to before half
dozen times-that the plant must not
operate until there is no chance of a
nuisance, though the Board does not say
that there is a nuisance.
Some weeks ago the residents of the
vicinity Of the plant made complaint that
while it was in operation the neighbor-
hood was buried under dense. clouds of
dust, with the result that serious damage
was done to their health and property
Inspector Benjamin was then sent to the
plant and found that the conditions were
exactly as alleged at that time. The
plant was closed down. Then the COM
pany placed a great dust condenser in
operation and the result was in measure
satisfactory from the first but still some
dust escaped and this was made the basis
of a new complaint. Again the plant was
closed down and again it resumed opera
tions. Then the compliments engaged
Judge Murphy to go before the Health
Board and have the plant closed for good
He made a strong plea and was opposed
by President Critchfield of the Uvalde
Company who demanded fair play and a
reasonable opportunity to perfect the dust
condenser. A compromise was effected
whereby the company promised to oper-
ate only while the dust collector was be-
ing tested. This was done and last week
the Board went to the plant and saw
the conditions for themselves
They found still some ground for COM
plant and the meeting last night was
for the purpose of airing the views each
held since their personal examination was
made.
Commissioner Walter made motion to
continue the order suspending operations
at the plant until some more minor inn
provements are made, and this was
adopted The company believes it will
be able to run without causing any dis
comfort or loss to property in a few days
and then Inspector Benjamin will make
an inspection and report back to the
Board. In the meantime the plant will
be virtually closed down.

and the doctor pulled up at hotel and
asked the proprietor if he could supply
him with a sandwich.
Cant do it," said the proprietor, 1--WE
have no bread in the house to make it
with"
That's strange for hotel like this
to be out of bread observed the doctor.
s'Not at all,'' the proprietor haughtily
replied; my wife bakes our bread and
she wouldn't think of using it to make a
sandwich. Good day, SIR
