E:PWORTH PLANS
Movement on Foot to Bring
the Chapters Into Closer
Social Union.

On Monday evening the Epworth
League Chapter of Lafayette NJ. E.
Church, Pacific avenue, will entertain
the Epworth League Chapters of Cen
tenary, st. Paurs, Trinity, Hedding and
Emory Methodist Episcopal Churches in
the chapel, on Wilton street. A social
evening with musical and literary pro-
gramme will be the order of the exer-
cises. The cabinet of the Jersey City Ep-
worth Union, the president of the Jersey
City District League, and the presidents
of the twelve local chapters, other than
those named, have been invited.
The plan is to bring the Epworths of
Jersey City into closer social connection.
This movement is not officially con-
nected with the Jersey City Epworth
Union, having been suggested by the
Rev. William Redheffer of Lafayette
Church and presented to the cabinet for
consideration.
The plan is to subdivide the eighteen
churches into three groups for the pur-
pose of holding social meetings quarter
ly. One group would comprise the six
chapters named above; another Bergen
Point, First Church and Fortyfourth
Street Churches, Bayonne, Linden Ave
nue., Brown Memorial and West Side
Avenue Churches, Jersey City, and the
third group Simpson, James. Palicade,
Grace Churches, jersey City, Union
Place Church, Union Hill and First
Church, Hoboken. These groups will
meet quarterly in the respective districts,
taking a year and a half to make the
circuit.
Thes social gatherings are planned to
be separate from the quarterly rallies
of the Jersey City Epworth Union. The
Acabinet of the latter organization will at.
tend this initial gathering and see how
the plan works. though it is hardly prob
able the cobinet will commit itself to the
new movemnt officially. The previous
announcement has caused misunderstand
ing and this general statement is made
to bring the matter properly before Ep-
worthians.

YOUNC'S CAREER
-
His Work in Hoboken and
Friendship for Amer
Tried to Borrow So.

Young's career in this county was
brief He came to Hoboken about eigh-
teen months ago and entered partnership
with Dixy Amer, of No. 105 Seventh
street, in the publication of the Cru
sader" Amer met Young while in
Butte City, Montana. An acquaintance
sprang up among them and yhen they
came East they started the CRUSADER
together. They tried to get Richard
Stevens and other prominent citizens of
the city interested in the paper and did
to some extent secure their assistance.
The paper, however, did not live long.
1t died a natural death last June.
Young was a sort of business manager
of the paper. He went about the city
soliciting advertisements. His cOnversa-
ton was confined principally to religion
and vice and the tone of the paper was
largely in accord with his fanatic views.
Once he called upon Detective Sergeant
julius Nelson. He talked for awhile
upon the vice which he said existed in
the town and then limited that he would
show up the Police Department" If
someone did not square matters with him.
81 never liked the man from the first
time i saw llliI, Sdlu DettCtiNt. l%NeiSOlt
to a reporter of "The News this morn7
ing, and when he made that remark
about showing me up | ordered him ont
of my Office. He didn't go. SO Iput him
out That was the last | saw of him.
IN HOBOKEN YESTERDAY.
At non yesterday man supposed to
be Young called at the offices of Weller
& Lichtenstein, lawyers, in the Hudson
Trust Companies Building, Hoboken,
and asked to see Mr.. Lichtenstein. The
later was not in at the time. When Mr..

asked the man if he could do anything
for him the man replied: MAY be you

Eichtenstein and l wanted to borrow 81
from him. Ny name is Gilligan. l am
a lawyer and have been on a drunk for
the past few days and want to go to q
hotel and sober up
Mr.. Weller replied that he could do
nothing for him. The description of the
man tallies with that of Young exactly
Lichtenstein knew Young when he
worked on the Crusader
it three months ago Young bought
out 4 Small printing establishment at No.
800 Palisade avenue from the proprietor,
William Casten Huber, who issued a
small publication known rs the "Palisade
Advertiser Young conducted this plant
for about one month. and then resold it.

new TRIAL FOR TAYLOR I?
No Opinion From the Court
Considered Favorable for
the Convicted Man.

The failure OF the Court of Errors and
Appeals to file an opinion yesterday in
athe case of murderer George Taylor,
w..n was convicted for killing his aunt,
Mrs. Mamie Taylor. in this city, in De-
ces.sho- last, is deemed favorable sign
for Taylor.
The feeling prevailes at the Court
House that Taylor VIII get new trial
Much interst was centerd len the de-
cision on the struck jury point raised
by Joseph NJ. Noonan. counsel for Tay-
lor, owing to the singularity of the point
raised and its far reachine effect. A
decision TO the effect that TAYLOR was
entitled to more than five challenges will
practically make the struck jury law in
applicable in the rial Of fuure murder
cases.
is said that for this reason the pend
ing murder cases in the county jail will
not be moved until the decision Gf the
Court Of Errors and Appeals III given.

is ADAM
WEISS DEAD !?
His Brother Thinks BE Has
Fled to Avoid Marry
ing Miss Bach.
DROWNING A PRBTENcE
G; othes Found Near Mrs. Pull
tiers Body Identified as
Belonging to Weiss.
DR0 MING A PRETENG GE

q
The mans clothing found on tile Kear
ny meadows yesterday near where Mrs
Pulitzer's body was found, belonged to
Adam Weiss, twenty-three years DID, Of
No. 40 Lexington street, Newark. Weiss
has been missing since September 10, and
iis supposed to have comitted suicide OF
else have been drowned while swimming
The clothes were found by Fredericli
Rast of Eldridge street, New York, and
he Informed Patrolman Fitzsinmons
who took them to police headq& &arters.
a romance is brought to light by the
disappearance of Weiss,and by the state
ment of the missing mans brother, the
fidelity of Weiss to the girl to whom he
was engaged is questioned.
ADAM WEfSS'S CLOTHES.
After the finding of the clothes with
papers in the pockets showing they had
belonged to Adam Weiss. the Newark
police were informed and they notified
Mrs. Bach, of No. 40 Lexington street,
with whim Weiss boarded.
Weiss was engaged to mary the daugh-
ter of Mrs. Bach, and when the news of
the recovery of his clothes was given to
Mrs. Bach she Immediately started for
Jersey City with her daughter and James
Weiss, the brother.
h When before Chief Murphy, James
Weiss said he did not believe his brother
was dead but that he had simply gone to
this spot, changed his clothes and then
sIeft town.
e When asked what motive his brother
could have for leading his friends to be-
alieve him dead, James Weiss answered
that he thought his brother wanted to
avoid marrying Miss Bach. &
FEANCE DOUBTS. !
The young woman vigorously contest
ed this theory, saying her fiance was
true and would no doubt be found at the
bottom Of the river
Weis was attending an institution in
New York, where he was studying chem
istry. On the morning of his disappear
apce he started for work with a small
bundle under his arm. Miss Bach asked
him what it was, and he said he was go
ing swimming and the bundle contained
his bathing clothes.
The spot where the clothes were found
is not one which anyone would be likely
to select to bath in, as he would have to
wade through black mud to reach water
deep enough for swimming.

The AUTOPSY.
Wound in the Abdomen
Caused Death -Eviden-
ces Of a Blow on the
Head.

County Physician Charles B. Converse
at the conclusion of the autopsy per-
formed by him on the body of Mrs. Annie
Pulitzer, or Kingston, announced that
death was caused by the incised wound
in the left side of the abdomen, and
not from any blow to the head.
DR. Converse made the following
statements THE woman had been killed
some time before her body was deposited
in the canal cut, as there was no water
on the lungs. Another fact, which goes
to prove that life was totally extinct, is
that there were no evidences of the It's
tues underneath the skin being bruised
where the strapIhad been put around the
body to hold the weight Had this been
done previous to death, the tissues would
have shown bruises There was no frac-
ture of the skull, but great cerebral hem
orrhages We're formed.
When asked if he thought the wound
unusual or if he could tell with what in
strument it was made, DR.. Converse re-
Piled 'The wound is very unusual
and it is there That is ALL
Coroner's Physician Otto Schultz and
ex-Coroner DR.. Hamilton Williams, Of
New York, were interested watchers of
the autopsy.
Among the others grouped around the
operating table were:-Prosecutor Err
win. Captain Jack" Graham. Assistant
Prosecutor yickers. Assistant District
Attorney Garvin. of New York. Grand
Jury Clerk Clark, Detectives Bennett and
Hottie, of Jersey City: Tinker. of New
York. and Grier, of Philadelphia.
The room which is commonly used to
keep the bodies was the one in which
the autopsy was performed. At sos
the beginning was made. and not until
S35 did Dr.. Converse finish.
Although there was nothing to be
learned as to who had committed the
murder from the autopsy, a crowd of re-
porters patiently waited in front of the
morgue from the beginning to the ed.
Detectives Carey and Becker, from
New York, brought Pulitzer to the
morgue about 7.30, but he did not go in
to the autopsy.

It was awfuIly amusing to see whole

be very valuable animals, indeed, because.
as they were perfectly harmless. a little
child could use them as substitutes for
Fourth of July fireworks. He would hold
one upside down and it would shoot away
for an hour without stopping, and TO have
obtained the same result by the use Of
ordinary Roman candles would, / suppose
cost about fourteen dollars, and at the
same time there would be no danger from
fire in the least.
