BABIES TAKE TUMBLES
Three Fell From Windows Last
Night.

Three small children fell from as many
windows in various parts of the city last
night within three hours. None was hurt
beyond slight injuries.
Patrick O'Hara three years old, of No.
% Brunswick street, was seated in high
char at the supper table near the win
DIV. He dropped a piece of bread to the
floor and began to cry, leaning out to
reach it. He lcst his balance and fell.
Before the baby's father could catch him
ne had fallen from the window, ehree
stories, to the yard below. On the way
down the boy struck two clothes mes
and they broke his fall so that he was un-
injured save for a few bruises. He was
picked up and carried into the house III
a short time he was playing about as
usual, but not near windows.
Edward Zaoriskie. four years old, of No
GO Canal street, fell from the second story
window of his home while yelling TO some
children on the street below, at seven
o'clock. The lad lay on the ground for
some time too much shocked TO move. He
was carried into the house where he was
attended to. He was painfully bruised
end had slight scalp wound.
Robert Hadden, a one and half year
old baby fell from the second story VIII
dow of his home, No 247 Cambridge street
at half-past six o'clock last evening. lie
was seriously injured about the head.

is SOAP A LUxURY7
PIainfield Justice OF the Peace Will
Have to Decide the Problem.

Especial to t'The Jersey City News."]
PLAINFIELD, Aug. 1, 1901.-The ques-
ton whether toilet soap of the kind that
comes three cakes in a box, in dainty
wrappers, with a delicate odor of violet
and heliotrope, is luxury or a necessity,
is one that has been left for Justice of
the Peace William E. Mattison, of North
Plainfield, to decide in the suit brought
before him by Druggist John P. Powers
against A. NJ Griffin, a prominent busi-
ness man, for $50 for toilet articles
charged to him on his wife's account.
The law allows woman to contract
debt for necessaries of life for her hus-
band to pay, but draws the line on luxu-
ries. Some time ago Mr. Griffin received
the bill for the amount named. He noti-
fed the druggist that he would pay no
such bill, for it had beef contracted with
out his order, and the suit followed. The
question for the Justice now to decide
is whether the toilet articles are classed
as luxuries or necessities.

BOULEVARD IN BAD SHAPE
Rains Tear Road to Pieces
Because There Is No
Drainage.

The mistake of not providing an ade-
quate system of drainage for the ehire
Boulevard when it was built was en-
phasized by the effects of the recent
heavy rains. Along the entire stretch Of
fourteen miles, but more especially in the
section north of Newark avenue, where
many of the abutting unimproved streets
slope to and from the road, washouts
have occurred.
Thousands of tons of stone, top dress
ing and shale have been carried by the
rain down the streets sloping to the
west, and Immense quantities of dirt have
been washed over the Boulevard from the
unimproved streets on the opposite side.
Never before has such damage to the
county's big driveway been dcne ny
storms, and it will take thousands of dol-
lars to repair it.
On account of the break in one of Jer-
sey Citys water mains the Boulevard
Commissioners were notified on July 13 to
stop using the water for sprinkling pur-
poses. AS a result the road in places be-
gan to unravel badly, water being most
essential to keep it in proper condition.
The frequent light rains, prior to the re-
cent heavy ones, helped materially to do
this.
The Commissioners will at once start to
put the road in as good shape as their
limited appropriation will allow and they
promise that the work will be pushed as
expeditiously as possible.

Nine-year-old Tommy Hayes, of No ga
Grove street. who received terrific cleo
trio shock Wednesday while playing with
a dangling telephone wire that came IN
contact with a trolley wire near his
home. is able to be up and about, and
is apparently little the worse for his ex-
perience except that the palms OF his
hands are covered with blisters that pain
him somewhat.
He is a bright, lively little fellow and
his mother says he is violating his doc
tors orders in staying out of bed. She
says "his feet takes him out" He has a
way since the shock of occasionally
hopping as though he was still receiving
the shock and at such times his mother
says 'he talks silly" He was seen by q
News reporter at his home this morn
ing.
How did you feel when you were get

BARKER LETTER SENT.
If Keller Doesn't Get 1t
1t Wont Be Defence As
sociation's Fault.

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News.o
ARLINGTON, Aug. l. 190l.-At last the
Thomas C. Barker Defense Associations
open letter to the Rev. John Keller, urg-
ing HIM to bring suit for defamation OF
character against Mrs. Barker, has been
mailed to the clergyman. AT his house
later it was said he could not be seen.
but friend declared the letter would not
be read to him.
Mr.. Keller does not receive any of his
letters directly, the friend said. Tney are
opened by some person in the Sanos
house, and then, if thought advisable. are
read to him This action is taken to
avoid worrying him with communications
which It would not benefit him to hear
Ir the list of such communications his
friends place the letter of the Barker As
ISOLATION.
For over a week the association has
been considering the question of whether
the letter should be sent by mail or mes
senger, or delivered in person by mem-
Der OF the association. Not until Wednes-
day night was the decision reached to
send it by mail. In the letter is copy
of the resolution adopted at the mass
meeting few weeks ago and an AFFIDAVIT
by H. r. Kearns, secretary OF the asso-
citation, to the effect that the letter is q
true copy of the one adopted by the meet
ing.
John Sumner. president of the defense
association, said yesterday
"If Mr. Keller chooses to disregard
courteous letter adopted at mass meet
ing of 2UO of his fellow citizens that is his
own business. However, we are ready for
him to call our hand at any time. and II
he is looking for evidence in suit for
defamation of character against Mrs
Barker he will not have far to go for it.
1t is averred that the $500 subscribed to
the Barker defense fund will be used to
defend the civil action for slander or de-
famation of character, which it is said
the Rev. Mr.. Keller will institute. To-
night the defense association will hold an
other meeting.

''Ill get him." he said, as he prepared
his coiled lasso for throwing. The loop
went wide of its mark and the next mo-
ment the crowd was Mortified to see the
steer rush madly upon Curran and lower
ing its head toss the watchman high in
the air.
AS the body fell on the pavement the
infuriated beast rushed at it and gored
Curran in the abdomen and neck with its
long horns and then trampled upon him.
Policemen. and other men drew their re-
volvers and commenced firing. Bullet af-
ter bullet was sent into the body of the
beast. But no one seemed to be able to
hit its head.
The beast finally started, with blood
dripping from its body, down Ninth
street, and. aggravated by the crowd,
suddenly turned and rushed madly into
the open hallway of the fiat, No. 1859 Ninth
street. Some one pulled the door to and
several made their way to the rear to see
that the rear door was locked.
The animal, however, turned and tore
open the front door and rushed out into
the street again. and made off in the di-
rection of Grove street. Then it turned
lots until it reached an embankment of
the Delaware. Lackawanna and Western
Railroad tracks.
AS it was crossing this freight engine
came along and struck it, breaking one
of its forelegs. It tumbled in heap
down the side OF the embankment The
crowd were still in pursuit. Sergeant
O'Brien and Patrolman Begins emptied
the contents of their revolvers into the
wounded beast and put it out of misery.
Others in the crowd also sent bullets
crashing through its body.
The steers belonged to Mcpherson &
Company. Three of them were to have
been shipped to Buffalo to go on exh1-
bition at the Pan-American Exposition.
The other five steers were captured be-
yond Hamilton Park AS far as can be
learned, the animals did no damage other
than soaring a few persons who scamper-
ed off to places of safety.

PATERSON ROAD BOND
Freeholders Authorize Its
Issuance Warden's
Reports.

But little business was transacted at
yesterday afternoons meeting OF the
Board of Freeholders. Freebooter Nugent
was the only absentee when Director
Holmes called the Board to order.
Reports were received from the wardens
of the different institutions at Snake Hill
and several transfers from one item OF
appropriation to another were made The
almost depleted fund for public highways
was increased by the addition OF small
amounts from the penitentiary AMI
r.orth bridge accounts, while the latter
fund was also drawn on to make good
the shortage in the account for salaries
of mechanics, which was reduced over 100
per cent by the last Board in fixing the
appropriations for the current fisca. year
BY a resolution introduced by rreehol-
der Fincke the County Collector was au-
thorized to issue one 31a per cent. bond
payable August l, 1911, to pay the balance
due for the improvement of the Paterson
Plank Road. The Collector was author
lied to sell the same at public or private
sale, but it is probable that the Sinking
Fund Will take the bond.
The July reports of the wardens of the
several county institutions were as fol-
lows

The stone account shows that but 519
yards were taken out in the month. This
is due to the fact that many of the pris-
oners have been employed at other work
about the grounds.
A complaint, signed by number of
property owners on Linden street, New
Durham, was received and referred to the
Committee on Roads for investigation.
The complaint stated that all the drain
age from the several streets above and
including the Hackensaclx plankroad was
now accumulating at the north side of
Linden street, which had not heretofore
been the case, and requesting that the
nuisance resulting therefrom be remedied.

ACTOR THRASHES THREE
Doesn't Like the Way They Act at
His Farm"

Especial to 'sThe Jersey City News."1
ASBURY PARK, Aug. 2. 1901.-Dapper
as Charles Ross, the actor, always has
appeared on the stage, there is much
muscle in his arms and legs, this power
being manifest only when he uses those
arms for punching and those legs for
kicking people whom he doesn't like. He
met three persons of this description
Wednesday night, and when he had ended
his physical demonstration two of them,
badly battered, were taken to police
cell, and the third was glad to go home
in his own cab.
Ross, with his wife, Mabel Fenton, in
the pauses of burlesque work, runs a
farm otherwise a summer hotel, at
Deal Lake AS money seeking boniface
he welcomes hilarity among his guests,
but only up to a certain line. That line
was crossed Wednesday night, it is said,
by Asher S. Burton and Irwin G. Burton.
These young men pull teeth for liv-
ing in this town. 1t is understood that
they will have to fill gaps in each others
Jaws, where Ross's fists knocked out GER
tain molars.
The Burtons visited the farm dined
well and drank equally. Then they start
ed to sing. The hypercritical Ross OBJ
jected. They retorted. He told them to
go. For answer he got blow in the
face Then he sailed in. He had the
Burtons in a sad state, when their cab
man rashly went to their aid. With
couple of punches Ross placed cabby be-
side his fares
Then he had the Burtons arrested. They
were held yesterday to await the Grand
Jury's action

BLACK AND THE JUSTICE
Newark Crusader Can't Find
Anyone to Make Out
Warrants.
Especial to .The Jersey City News.')

Especial to 'The Jersey City NewS.'D
NEWARK, Aug. g. 1901.-Crusader Ed
ward S. Black lost two more innings in
his Sunday saloon closing fight yesterday.
His score is now 0 to G. Not one whit
downcast over the refusal of four justices
of the peace to take complaints against
certain saloon-keepek for alleged viola
tion of the Sunday law, the man of law
and order tried a fifth justice yesterday
in the person of Frederick C. Oehring,
whose office is opposite the Second pre-
cinct police station, in Summer avenue.
Mr.. Oehring, like his fellow justices, re-
fused to accommodate Mr.. Black.
Mr.. Black walked into Justice behring's
office at $50 o'clock. He waited fifteen
minutes for the justice. When Mr.. Oen-
ring walked in with a clipper good
morning. the crusader got right down to
business, and something like the following
conversation ensued:-
II want to make a complaint against
Broad street saloonkeeper for keeping
his place open and selling liquor Sunday.
July l. | have all the necessary evidence
against him. including some liquor pur-
chased at the bar on that day. The stuff
is in my office. Will you take my corr
plant and issue a warrant for his ar
rest
Excuse me, Mr. Black" replied Mr..
Oehring, who had read in the newspapers
of the crusaders previous experiences
with the other justices. Il won't take
your complaint. l advise you to go across
the street to the Second Precinct Police
Court
WHO is sitting there?" asked Mr..
Black.
Acting Judge Pearson"
"Then there's no use of my going
there answered the crusader, with a
smile. HE has already refused me-"
well, if he refuses to take your COM
plant can't accommodate you
why not?'
I'm deputy clerk in that court, and I'm
due there now. Pardon me, Mr.. Black.
Good day
The justice hastened out of his office
and crossed the street in a hurry. Mr..
Black walked slowly away, and half an
hour later said to reporter, well,
take my defeats philosophically, don't you
think so?''
Later in the day Mr.. Black called upon
Justice of the Peace Medenbach, at No.
12S Market street, and asked him to take
complaint in the same case. Mr.. Meden-
bach refused point blank. This riled the
crusader bit, and it is said hot words
filled the Justices little office to over
flowing.
Unity Lodge of Good Templars met
Wednesday night and Mr.. Black said yes
terday that the members expressed salts
faction with the work he had done in
their behalf.
