POLICE CHIVALRY
Capt. Snow and Sergeant Har.
rington Suffer Discomfort
for the Sake of Strand
ed Women.

The days of chivalfy are not gone, at
least in the Police Department. In the
Communipaw avenue station house last
night, when the rain was pouring down at
the rate of a million gallonsNa second,
two well dressed ladies sought shelter in
the station house. They were drenched
to the skin. Sergeant Harrington was be-
hind the desk and Acting Captain Snow
was waiting for the rain to let up so that
he might go home. Chairs were provided
for the visitors.
After waiting for an hour or more, one
of the ladies ventured to remark that she
would hire cab to go home if one could
be found The sergeant telephoned to
several stables, but nothing was doing.
you may have my rubber coat said
Sergeant Harrington to one of the ladies
Sergeant Snow volunteered the use of his
to the other, adding that he would be sat
isfied to sleep at the station house all
night.
'Why, you will be arrested with that
mans coat on,'' said one.
"Pll wear. it. I'm not afraid. If I am
arrested they will have to bring me here
and then I will be identified" was the
reply. They got into the big coats and
started for home They were profuse in
their thanks.
This morning the coats came back and
along with them two little notes. The
sergeant refused to tell the names of the
ladies who were befriended.

JULy's BIG DEATH RATE.
Greatest Mortality for the Month
Ever Recorded,

The mortality for July, as shown by the
report of Clerk c. j. Rooney, presented
at yesterday afternoons meeting of the
County Health Board, will be far in ex-
cess of the same month in any preceding
year. Over $50 deaths can be traced
directly to the excessive heat of last
month. The mortality of the five preced-
ing years was:-1S96, 6; 1897, 4; 1898, 13;
1899, O.; 1900, IA.
The report shows a notable falling off
in deaths from contagious diseases. There
were in. all 9S of these, as follows:-Diph-
liberia, 43; scarlet fever, IS; membraneous
Group, 8; typhoid. 1; smallpox, 8; measles,
20. In July of last year there were 172
deaths directly attributed to this class of
disease.
A complaint, signed by thirteen resi-
dents of West Hoboken. said that the
stencil arising from the works of the
Safety Kerosene Gas, Power and Heating
Company was an intolerable nuisance.
The counsel and Inspector Nevin were in
structed to look into the matter.
A complaint was received that Mrs.
Elizabeth Tully, of No. 6S Erie street,
was practicing midwifery without Ii
cense. The counsel was instructed to
investigate the matter.
Five applications for changes in mar
riage and death records were received
and granted, as were also a number of
of businesses requiring sanitary super
vision.

NO ONE TO BLAME
Lauda mum. Given Hattie Cassel
Was Not With Intent
to Kill.
[speolal to "rhe jersey city News..l

Especial to 'The Jersey City Newf"l
PATERSON, Aug. Z, 1901.-It seems un-
likely that anyone will have to answer
cri1ninally for the death of Hattie Cas-
sel at Greenwood Lake Glens. Sunday
The girl probably died from laudanun
poisoning, the drug being administered
by William Morgan. according to his OWE
admission, made in the presence of many
persons, but it would be impossible TO
fasten any criminal intent upon him.
Hattie CassePs mother married John
Wilson some time ago, while the girls
father was serving term in State Prison
for using an iron bar in barroom brawi.
Three months ago Wilson and his step
daughter quarrelled, and she was arrest
ed and haied before q squirS being
cisorderly. There seemed NO is for
the charge.
Since then the girl has beenN IA
home She lived a good deal .1h an
aunt, but became a visitor to the Morgan
hui. Morgan is ilfty years old. His wife
is a olple of years younger and is said
to be constantly under the influence of
laudanum. She claims to be able TO drink
many ounces of the drug every day.
Hattie Cassel was at the Morgan hut
Sunday and while there was taken i'll.
She was dosed with whiskey and gin, both
ldudanum laden. A couple OF ounces
were given her. A couple of ounces of the
drug appear to be trifie to the residents
of The Glens. but to Hattie Cassel it was
more than enough, and death came. That
the drug was administered in good faith
seems to be admitted. The authorities are
not likely to take any action.

OPPOSE c. R. R. BRIDGE
Sleepers Object to Extension
Of Communipaw Avenue
Grade Crossing.

Yesterday afternoons meeting of the
Street and Water Board was short and
devoted manly to the transaction of rou-
tine business. A communication from ex-
Governor George It. Werts, counsel for
Lizzie A. and George Sleeper, was read.
His clients object to the change OF grade
cf Communipaw avenue to allow the Cen
trail Railroad Company to increase the
length of it's bridge across that thorough
fare.
The company asked to have the grade
changed at the last meeting of the Board.
1t desired to add 4Sls feet to the west side
of the bridge to make room for three new
tracks.
The communication of the ex-governor
sets forth that the lands on both sides of
the bridge We're acquired by the Railroad
Company by condemnation proceedings,
and that there was no stipulation allow
ing for a change of grade of the avenue
The communication was referred TO the
Street Comrittee which referred it to the
Corporation Counsel.
A communication was received from j.
G. Lansing concerning the bad condition
of the sewer basins in Ogden avenue, be-
tween Ferry and Franklin streets, and
the one at Palisade avenue and Franklin
street. This was referred to the Commit
tee on Streets and Sewers. The Board
decided to construct a sewer in MeAdoo
avenue, as requested by Henry Gibbs
and others.
City Wharfinger McDermott reported
that in the month of July his receipts
were s476.4S. OF this amount Sc was paid
for cleaning the dock and S4.15 expended
for ferriage and portage. The balance
was handed over to the City Treasurer.

DAVIS CORPS ARMORY.
Lockers Have Been Ar
ranged Next to the Drill
ROOM The Big
Outing.

The Davis Pioneer Corps has fitted up
the old O'Neill Associations assembly
room at No. 81 Newark avenue as an ar
mory for the storage of uniforms and
equipments Two hundred and twenty
four lockers, twenty-four in each OF the
ten company sections, have been put IN
and each member has been provided with
key for his individual locker. No Key
will unlock two of the locks except a
master key that will unlock all, and this
will be kept by the man in charge.
The armory is located conveniently, as
it connects directly with Imperial Hail,
used as drill room. 1t is mol likely tnat
the corps will make a public appearance
before September II, the day of the Rod
ert Davis Associations outing. The mem
bers are being rapidly supplied with their
uniforms and equipments. One hundred
and sixty of them have been already sup
piled.
There is rumor current that efforts
are on foot to provide an extra steamer
to convey the corps to and from Dom
nelly's Grove on the day of the great out
ing of the Davis Association, but this
rumor could not be definitely verified this
morning as those having authority to
SpSdh III lue ildltcI COu4u ilut~ " s'~~fA'
The rumor however, is accepted as true.
1t would be next to impossible. for the
corps to go aboard the same steamerwith
the great crowd that will this year attend
the outing without more or less damage
to the uniforms.
The members will not wear their Dig
shakos or coats aboard the boat, but Will
wear neat fatigue caps and fatigue jack
cts. Extra room would have to be made
for the shakos and the heavy coats that.
have to be suspended from hangers. Every
man of the corps with his equipments
will naturally take up as much room as
two ordinary passengers Last year the
big steamer Grand Republic was pretty
well crowded. Nearly four thousand men
were aboard. This year it is anticipated
that nearly thousand more will attend.
The Ninth Ward will soon be the meet
ing place of a new company Of the Davis
Pioneer Corps. Company was added
to the list Monday night when meeting
was held to organize. A second meeting
is to be held tomorrow night at which
company commander will be elected.
Captain Mortimer Gleason, of the Fourth
Regiment, will drill the men. Captain
Gleason has been looking after the drill
ing of the men of all companies. The
men will meet Saturday night in the
rooms of the Ninth Ward Democratic
Club to be measured for their uniforms.

best known real estate experts in the
State. He was formerly with the Real

CLERK ACCUSED OF THEFT
Jersey City Young Man in Jail on a
Serious Charge.

Benjamin ]. Scheiber, of No. 514 Cen
trail avenue, is a prisoner in New York
City charged with robbing his employer.
He is accused of selling shoemakers sup
plies belonging to A. r. Bogart of No. 60
Beekman street, New York City, to Au-
gust Torchea, of No. 67 Fifth avenue,
Brooklyn, who is also a prisoner charged
with receiving stolen goods.
Scheiber, who entered the employ of the
firm two years ago as office boy, and last
February. having up to that time done his
work faithfully as well, he was raised to
the position of stock clerk. The man hold
ing this position has full charge of the
keys of the store and can enter at any
time.
Mr.. Bogart, after going over his ac-
counts on July 1, noticed that although
his business had been brisk, he had not
made but had lost money. He also found
that lot of stuff had disappeared that
could not be accounted for. Bogart did
not like to suspect Scheiber, but as he
was the only person that had access to
the store after. hours besides himself,
Bogart resolved to watch him. Last Mon
day Bogart left the store early and left
orders with Scheiber to close the store
at seven o'clock
Bogart came back at that time and
watched the store from a building on the
opposite side of the street. Promptly at
seven O'Clock he saw Scheiber emerge
from the building carrying two large bum
dies. Bogart followed him to Torchia's
place in Brooklyn.
Bogart then went home, and yesterday
morning he paid visit to the Oak street
station and saw Captain Vredenburgh.
The captain assigned Detectives Distler
and Dean on the case. They arrested
Schelber yesterday afternoon and took
him to the station house where, they say,
he confessed to the stealing and named
Torchia as the receiver. The detectives
went to Brooklyn and drove around to
Torchia's address with a patrol wagon.
The wagon backed up in front of the
store and Torchia, who is in the same
business as Bogart, came out. He was
then arrested.
About $1,000 worth of goods were iden-
titled by Bogart as having been taken
from his store, and the stuff which con-
sisted mostly of leather SoleS and heels,
was loaded into the patrol wagon. Torchia
admitted that he had received goods from
Schelber but said he did not know they
were stolen.
The patrol wagon was forced to make
lseyeral trips to Torchia's store and all OF
the goods did not reach Manhattan until
late hour last night

WANTED TO SAVE HIS TROUSERS
So Sable Took Them OF and Continu-
ed His Wanderings.

Frank Sable, a laborer, of Passaic. came
to town this morning, drunk. He stepped
in a number of pools of water so that
the legs of his trousers were soaked up
to the knees. 1t occurred to Sable that
it would be an excellent idea to take off
his trousers and carry them. This he did,
and he marched down Newark avenue
reeling about with his trousers over his
arm and nothing where his trousers had
been. He was not stopped until he reach
ed Grove street, where Policeman Flan-
nigan arrested him.
The man was taken before Police JUS
tice Hoos and sentenced to thirty days in
the County Jail as a disorderly person.

VAN WORST PARK SUFFERS

The storm last evening did considerable
damage in Van Worst Park by uprooting
trees and scattering the branches all
over the walks. lawns and .he sidewalks
outside of the park. There were four
trees torn down and a large number OF
branches were snapped by the wind from
some of the stronger trees.
Trees on the Heights suffered greatly
from the heavy winds that accompanied
the downpour. Branches were blown
from many of the large trees and the
streets were Uttered with small boughs.
Scarcely street in the Bergen section
escaped the effect of the high winds.
Young trees were uprooted in some places
and killed.
The Boulevard trees suffered much.
Reports show that more than dozen IN
the Bergen section of that road were in
jured. Bergen avenue was strewn with
young branches and many big boughs
this morning. Astor place, Park street,
Pacific avenue and Forrest street were
among the streets where trees were in
jured.
