DR.. Hart, of the City HealN Bod
last night discovered whPle family
down with smallpox, excepting ths
mother, who recently returned from the
smallpox hospital, cured of the same =
ease. The patients are James Gibson,
thirty-nine years old, of No. a57ls Hem
derson street, and his children. Maggie,
ton years old; William, seven years old;
Lizzie, three years old. and David. thir-
teen months old.
No. S571a Henderson street, from which
the fve patients were removed last night,
is a large tenement house and is occupied
by eight families. The occupants were
all vaccinated and the premises thorough-
ly fumigated.
Mrs Gibson, who returned from the
hospital cured, had been i'll with small
pox week before the case was found
out, and the discovery was made through
the fact that the daughter Maggie was
attending No. School. in Bay street,
while nursing her mother. This fact led
to the closing of No. School.
One more case of smallpox was reported
to the health authorities in Hoboken this
morning, making a total of sixteen cases
that have been recorded in the city this
season. The new victim is william Witte,
thirty years old, of No. 514 Ferry street.
The tenement in which Witte lives was
built but six months ago and it is occu-
pied by a dozen families. Witte owns
the premises. The case was reported by
DR. Gelbach.

LAST OF THE FIRE BOARD
Notice of Certiorari Received
Without Comment.

The Board Of Fire Commissioners held
the last meeting of the year last night 1t
was also the last meeting Of the Board
as now constituted. Commissioner John
Erickson, who makes the Board Demo-
cratic now, will be succeeded by Re-
publican, to be appointed by Mayor-elect
Mark NJ. Fagan. Then the Board will be
Republican.
The most important business was the
receiving of the notice that writ of GER
tionari on the appointment OF a company
to the new engine house to be construct
ed in Lafayette, had been granted by
the courts and that it acted as stay.
This was referred to the Corporation
Counsel without comment. There was no
discussion.
The payroll for December was passed
and a resolution adopted granting Mrs
James Dallaway pension. Dallaway
died ON December from injuries received
in the discharge of his duty.

TRIBUTES TO SEWELL
Jersey City Men Express
Sorrow Over the Sena-
tors Death.

On all sides were heard today express
sions of deep regret at the death of Sena-
tor Sewell and it was strange how many
people said this when they heard the
news
ztsWho will take his placer
The General was connected closely with
all the railroad schemes which have been
carried through in this section of the
identified with trolley interests and other
friend of President E. F. G. Young of the
First National Bank, who was deeply af-
fected when he was informed by tele-
phone message from Governor Voorhees,
that the General had passed away. When
ever the Senator was in town his first
visit was to the First National Bank
president, and each had high regard
for the other.
..His death" said Mr.. Young, is a great
loss to the State, to the Pennsylvania
Railroad. and to his friends, one Of whom
was. ?.
Another person In this city who was
much moved by the news and who had
been brought into close touch with Cen
eral Sewell was President J. E. Hulshizer
of the Title Guarantee and Trust Co., who
spoke feelingly about his relation with
the General
..fIe was indeed grand old man, said
Mr. Hulshizer, "a wonderful organizer
and gifted with rare mental faculties. He
had splendidIy balanced mind and his
Judgment was never at fault

dismissal Of Robert Bumsted any
resolution is offered tonight it will come
from only one source, Commissioners
Walter. With Dr. McGill already an
nounced as sure opponent of such plan
and Commissioner Tilden with a Republi-
can administration about to be inaugurat-
ed in mind, and conscious of what Repub-
1icans consider his duty to his party, .
surer opponent than the President, there
is no chance that the vacancies will be
filled.
Thus after January the incoming ad-
least to present to the grafters. Just
whether the Board Of Managers will de-
scend to the level of the rank and file of
the Police Department to find jobs for the
faithful IS not quite settled, but the
friends of Mayor-elect Mark M. Fagan
and the Good Citizens will probably be
ablue to find in their ranks some who
would be satisfied with the uniform and
"a chance Tor promotion" Then there
are those 1896 Italians who are doomed to
disappointment in their ambition to be
slifterinos' in the City Hall. There are
but two elevator jobs.
Why. says the Board Of Managers,
would it not be a good idea to prevent
that threatened storm from Mr.. Fagan $
next door neighbors in Little Italy by
promising all those Italians jobs on the
police forces They are good walters. and
If we hang up a blue coat with brass
buttons on it as their reward [ some fu-
ture time any old time, we may be able
to catch them in time to prevent the
how'll
Some mebres of the Board OF Managers
are afraid that such scheme might
further incense the Friends and Good
Citizens But the idea has not been
abandoned yet There will probably be
before the elevator jobs are given out 10
sacrificing their chances of raising them
selves and others in the world for a
promise of blue uniform.
one of the missionaries may be Frank
Caprio. He is a policeman now and is
looked upon as a little god by his igne-
lant countrymen. Some say Caprio could
do the job if he only said: Keep quiet
and you can be just like me"
DR.. McGilrs confidence that Commits
sioner Tilden will throw down the G. O.
P. by Withholding patronage when It is
so urgently needed, just to please DR..
McGill is not shared generally. Commits
sioner Tilden is a Republican first, last
and always. He was appointed to the
Board because he is Republican There
is a well grounded impression within as
well as without police circles that he will
not forget that fact very easily, and Il
there should be any danger of a lapse
of memory Sam will see to it that a
guarantee method Of refreshing memories
IS applied There are many who are con-
fident that there will be reorganization
Of the Police Department long before the
robins nest again, and there will be two
new sergeants and tw onew roundsmen
and 4 new detective as well as four new
patrolInen in uniform before that time,
Dr. McGilI to the contrary notWithstand
unless they are made tonight.

WON'T TOLERATE SIGNS
Vice Chancellor Pitney Tells
Witnesses in the White
Case They Musn't
Wig Wag.

tsI don't care who it is, man or woman;
If I see any attempt to make signs to
witnesses on the stand in this court
will send the offender to Jail at once,
exclaimed Vice Chancellor Pitney today
during a hearing in the divorce suit of
Or. q. NJ White against his wife, Mrs.
A. M. White.
This announcement was caused by the
Courts attention being drawn to the con-
duct of some women in the rear seats
of Court No. 1 in Chancery Chambers
LAWYER r. S. Hudspeth, counsel for Dr.
White. was cross-examining Mrs. White
and observed that one row of females
were conducting system of communica-
tion that beats the wig-wagging, wireless
telegraphy and telephoning devices into
cooked hats.
This sort of thing must stop, excialm-
ed Judge Hudspeth, angrily.
s.All right, stop your second row there
from smirking and laughing at my wit
nesses retorted Colonel H. Ward, coun-
Sc for Mrs White.
Then down came the Judicial gavel en-
phasizing every word in the Courts warm
ing and for few seconds each lady In
the rear seat kept her eyes, tongue and
head absolutely motionless.
Mrs. White told long tale of woe.
How the doctor i'll treated her, neglected
her. suspected her. detected her and how
it affected her His suspicious. she said,
about her relations with young zinck the
co-respondent named in the bill, were of
the platonic order.
.Oh, yes,'' sneered Judge Hudspetn.
.syet when you and this young man were
caught together in Mr. McGrath's house
he offered to so down on his knees and to
save you tell all.
Young Zinck, who was sitting next to-
Mrs. Whites counsel, jumped up and
was about to say something when Judge
Hudspeth said
sit down. You are in the wrong place
here to do that sort of thing "
The boyish looking correspondent was
about to get up again and reply when
the vice Chancellor rooted him to his
chair by sternly telling him to make no
demonstration or else. Zinck c09a psed.
Later in the day he took the witness
chair and denied everything. Never was
tnere such martyr as he said he was.
Friendship of the purest kind only ex-
listed between him and Mrs. White As
TO the damaging love letters written by
hlm and found in her pockets he had a
lame excuse to offer about boyish infatua-
ton, meaningless, etc, etc.
Mrs. White had asked him to look up
divorce proceedings and addressed letters
to him at the College Of Pharmacy, New
