Mr.. Young hearty laugh for its humor
1t was from that genial gentleman, Mr..
Frank L. Sheppard, general superin-
tendent of the p. R. r. Co., who caused
to be placed on Mr.. Young's desk in the
First National Bank this morning the
following memorandum
Memorandum for Mr.. e. f. C.
Young, from Mr.. f. L. Shep-
pard:-
referring to the coal which it is
announced Mr. Young is giving to
those not supplied-Is the coal
bituminous or anthracite? If the
latter, what sizes has he got? There
is no use of his sending anything but
furnace or range coal to our house.
Another letter came from Mrs. Marie
Won Schuller, president of the LADIES'
Arion Aid Society, recommending coal
for poor families on the Hill, and one
from Mrs. Francis O'Leary in SINH
lar strain.

HOMELESS GIRL
Cared for in the Woman's
Prison Till Her Story
Can Be Investigated.

A pretty and respectfully dressed girl
Of twelve years, who says she is Nellie
Smith, of No. 1901 Vine street, Peters
burg, Va, is cared for at the Woman's
prison in Oakland avenue, pending in
yestigation of her story. She was found
aimlessly walking about the Pennsyl-
vania station late last night.
When questioned, the girl said she had
been placed in most unpleasant pre-
dicament through the heartlessness and
unkindness of an aunt whose name she
gave as Jenny Smith, but whose address
she did not know. All she knew was that
her aunt lived in New York. She said
that her home had been made unplea-
SAINT by stepmother and that her father
had decided to send her on visit to
her aunt in New York She arrived yes
terday afternoon.
At the depot, she says, she was met by
her aunt, who had been notified of the
visit by her father The aunt, Mrs.
Smith adds, said she would have nothing
to do with her. The aunt agreed to send
the trunk back to her home, but, accord
ing to the girls story, told her to shift
for herself.
The girl said she did not known where
to go or what to do. Special Officer Ry-
erson took her to Police Headquarters,
where she reiterated the story
She was taken to the Oakland avenue
prison and early this morning it was
discovered that she was i'll of fever. Mrs.
Smith was taken to the City Hospital,
where it was found that she had had a
chill She soon recovered and was re-
turned to Matron Wyatt's care, at the
women's prison in Oakland avenue
The girl apparently avoided question
ing as much as possible and some of the
police are inclined to half doubt her
story. She says her aunts husband is
James Smith and her fathers name
Frank Smith, and that her father is EN-
ployed by the Hurst Carpet Cleaning
Company in Petersburg.
Chief Murphy has communicated with
the chief of police of that city.

CANDIDATES MEET
MoDermott and Manning
Appear on the Same Side
in the Hunt Will
Contest.

Congressional candidates Allan L. Me-
Dermott and James ID. Manning, who
are opponents in the Tenth district, met
for the first time since their nominations
in the Orphans Court yesterday. Both
were counsel on the same side of a pend
ing case, and they greeted each other
with friendly nod and smile, although
neither offered his hand to the other.
There was some little conversation be-
tween the rival candidates about the
case, but no reference to politics.
Messrs- McDermott and Manning
We're counsel for James Hunt of West
Side, near Clendenning avenue Jersey
City, proponent under his deceased wife's
will, which left him an estate estimated
to be worth about $4,000.
Mrs. Hunt was the widow of Patrick
Kelley, a saloonkeeper, when she mar
ried Hunt, who was her former hus-
bands barkeeper. When she died recent
ly cayeat against the probate of her
will was filed with Surrogate Lillis by
Mrs. Grant, of West Side avenue, a sis
ter, and other relatives of the testa-
trix
They alleged that Mrs. Hunt was not
of sound mind when sne executed the
will, and that her insanity was heredi-
tary. In support of this assertion they
testified that her mother was confined
in an asylum; that a sister was dement,
ed and brother was an imbecile.
Lawyers Speer and Hammil repre-
sented the caveators and after their
evidence was given, further hearing was
postponed until next Friday.

ROW IN The RANKS
Republicans Disguised at
Machine for Rewarding
Renegadess

There is no hiding the fact that the
Republican party leaders are alarmed at
the secession from their ranks Of many
men, who for years have generously con-
tributed to the campaign fund. The
cause of this detection is that men who
have worked in the ranks at primaries
and election have been thrust aside for
new comers ard fop-overs whenever
there was anything good to distribute.
One of these who has openly depounc-
ed the Dickinson, Wanser and Wcolley
triumvir was formely a member of the
Republican State Committee, and a
prominent member of the party for a
score of years back. This morning in a
downtown office, where many leading
merchants congregate, he said openly
81 can tell you this, that / am not the
only one dissatisfied with the conduct of
the leaders in the city and County.
SNAPS FOR RENEGADES.
ssIt's a queer thing that lately when
ever candidate for Office is nominated
it is a nobody, a heeler, or a renegade
Democrat, one who has left his party be-
cause he couldn't get what he wanted of
Leader Davis. just take for example
men like George l.. Record and Robert
Carey, both f1opovers, yet they hadn't
been long in the party when one is made
Corporation Counsel and the other As
sistant City Attorney. Mayor Pagan,
too, has put men in Republican offices
who were Democrats and have done
nothing to entitle them to an Office. Look
at Commissioner Degnan, Commissioner
Lindsay, Commissioner Mitchell. Will
anyone please say what their qualifca-
tions are? Nice encouragement for our
young Republicans growing up to work
for the party when renegades are picked
up, petted and pitched into Office and the
deserving ones snubbed. Well, after
election day the machine people will have
something to ponder over.''

Dynamite May Be Used to
Break Up the Sunken
Schooner.

Traffic on the Hackensack River has
been practically at a standstill since the
sinking Of the schooner Heron of Little
Ferry, in the draw of the Plank Road
bridge early Wednesday morning
A wrecking derrick of the Merrit-C Chap
man Construction Company has been at
work since Thursday afternoon endeavor-
ing to remove the obstruction in the
draw. Divers have been at work night
and day, but the hull is so badly dam
aged it is doubtful if the vessel can be
raised. 1t may be necessary to blow the
wreck to pieces with dynamite in order
to clear the draw.
The river on both sides of the Plank
Road bridge has been full of boats since
the accident, all waiting to get through.
