is SHE AN IAPOSTOR !?
Police Doubt That Mrs.
Dingelstedt Is What
She Pretends to Be.

Ralph Cohen. the alleged New York
broker, who with Mrs. Ellen Dingelstedt
was arrested on Wednesday on charge
of conspiring to defraud the New Jersey
Title Guarantee and Trust Company ef
5000 was released yesterday afternoon
on bail to appear before the Grand jury.
He waived examination in the First
Criminal Court and his case naturally
came before Judge Blair, who accepted
the bond offered by Henry Nathan. wtso
pledged property in Paterson worth
81 900 The sum fixed for Cohen's bail was
s., ,5o0
The police have several men working
on the case So far, according to Chief
Murphy, they have removed any possible
doubt as to the woman being what she is
alleged to bean imposter. He says ain
pie proof has been secured to substantiate
this fact that she is one. They are sure
she is not Mrs. Dingelstedt and that she
never saw Mr.. Dingelstedt in life. The To-
lice are in possession of the methods
used to get the information desired by
Mrs. Dingelstedt," but refuse as yet TO
give out the result of their Investigations
on this line.
Chief Murphy promises that before tee
case is through with he viii be able to
give out some interesting reading for the
general public as to the shrewd, calculat-
ing manner IN which the woman in the
case went about her business. The po-
lice claim also that Mrs. Dingelstedt and
her "co-conspirators' made q vital mis-
take in concentrating the deal. Had the
simpersonator, Mrs. Dingelstedt," ar
ranged with the agent of the Title Guar
antee and Trust Company to meet ner at
the house in Ogden avenue. and had she
met them there and pretended that size
was just leaving the house, and had by
some excuse given the information e-t-
side the house. the swindlers would have
made off with the money.

AS DICKINSON SEES 1T
No Part of the Committees
Business to Offend the
Candidates.

Colonel Samuel D. Dickinson, the leader
of the Republican party in the county,
was coming out of the First National
Bank this morning when News re-
porter aecosted him. When the subject
Of last nights meeting of the County
Committee was preached, and particu-
larly the Thomas AfeEwan incident, he
replied
"A member of the Twelfth Ward of this
city offered a resolution endorsing the
candidacy Of John W. Griggs for United
states Senator made the motion to
table it."
why, Colonel?"
t.The same action would have been
taken by me. = replied Mr.. Dickinson, If
the resolution had been to endorse John
F. Dryden, Senator Stokes or David
Baird; because hold that it is no part
of the province of the Hudson County
Republican Committee to endorse any
candidate for United States Senator If
the county had any votes it might be the
right thing to indicate their preference
but as things are now it is not Sena-
tor McCarter and the Essex delegation
are our good friends Senator Stokes is
our friend, and also Mr.. Baird, with his
strong South Jersey delegation, and So,
you see, for us to support any candidate,
remembering our position, would be the
height of folly If this motion had pre-
vailed it would have excited the enmity
of all our friends over the candidacy for
United States Senator, Tne HUDSON
County Republican Committee clearly
showed that it does not propose to do
ANYTHING of the kind.

HEALTH BOARDS METHODS
Released From Pest House
Before the Required Ten
Days Of Quarantine.

The fact that several cases Of smallpox
now in the pest house at Snake Hill have
been traced to the salvation Army lodg-
ing house at No. 50 Montgomery street.
has led to inquiries into the methods ex-
ercised by the health authorities IN deaf
ing with the occupants of the house when
the disease was discovered there week
ago.
The first case revealed at the lodging
house was that of James Mcclure, a
fourteen-year-old boy. Mcclure was
found sick in the place by Policeman
John Downes a week ago last THURSDAY
He was removed to the City Hospital be-
fore the real nature of his case was
known. On the Saturday following ne
was quickly dispatched to the pest house
and on the same day the health authorl-
ties descended upon the lodging house
and guaranteed all the inmates. over
one hundred dodgers were vaccinated, it
was said that d few made their escape IN
the excitement.
Orwille Castor, a colored man, VINO
stopped In the house, was taken with the
disease on the same day, and last We'd
nesday morning Martin Kilmurray, an
other lodger, walked into the city HOS

MAY ORGANIZE TUESDAY
Excise Commissioners Have
No Place TO Meetin and Are
at Sea as to Duties.

The Excise Commission, it is said, may
organize on Tuesday somewhere, but just
where is not yet known. There are no
offices in the City Hall for the new Board.
1t is said that the organization will be
effected in the Mayors office, perhaps.
This, it is considered. would be appropri-
ate, because then Mayor Pagan might
be present at the first step taken by the
body which he has created.
There will be nothing TO prevent The
organization of the Board; but it is likely
that its first official act will bring about
its ears clap of thunder which is bound
to threaten its very foundation. The
Board of Aldermen has been so long en-
gagged in matters pertaining to liquor
licenses, The granting of which they con-
slider to be their prerogative, that now
they will fight to continue as heretofore
Up to the present the members OF this
Commission have shown no particular
knowledge of what they are to do, how
they are to do it, or to whom they are
70 do it, and they are not over anxious
to do it, whatever it might be.
The meeting viii result in the selection
of a president, and here there is likely to
be some contest. OF course. Edward Fry
is slated by the Board Of Managers He
is the hgurehead of the Republican ring
sters here and It would be good for the
new administration to have in power one
who Is 50 easily manipulated. But Com
missioner John o. Brien is looking for the
office He is a saloon keeper, the only
one on the Commission, and he thinks he
knows more about the matters of the
Board than any one else As there are
two Democrats in the Board, there may
be nice little fight, as Mr.. O'Brien is a
Democrat, as is also Mr.. Dowling Mr.
Bacon IS the other Republican.

day afternoon, four days after the Nc
CURE boy was taken from the building.
There has been some comment to the
effect that they should have been quar-
antined the required ten days Most of
the dodgers were s'hoboes,'' or wandering
Willies They are now probably in every
part OF the United States.
The latest case that of Martin Kilmur-
ray, might be the cause of many other
cases. Kflmurray said that he had slept
in Pullman palace car of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroad at
Hoboken the very night before he reached
the hospital To attempt to find the ex-
act car that Kilmurray slept in would, the
authorities say, be useless effort. In
spector Benjamin said it would be like
trying to find needle in a haystack- The
Ifoboken health authorities we're notified
however, and requested to investigate.
Health Inspector Benjamin says he does
not believe that more cases will be heard
from in connection with the Salvation
Army house.
II am sure he said ''that all the in
mates have now been vaccinated. The
place has been fumigated more than
once since the disease was discovered
there. Only last Sunday we went through
the house again. We made everybody
get into bed while we gave their clothes
a thorough disinfecting That is about
all we can do besides vaccinating the oc-
cupants OF course there is no telling
where these people are at this time Some
NAV be In Massachusetts and others in
various parts of the country. I do not
think thev could possibly have carried

JUDGE FORT VERSUS JUDGE COLLINS
The One Confers Absolute Power Of Initiation and Sub
poena Upon the Jurors Themselves; the Other
Makes the Prosecutor Boss.


Extract from the charge of Judge
j. Frank Fort to the Monmouth
County Gra nd Jury for the January
Term, 1862, delivered at Freehold
ON Tuesday the Z b inst.
Since the election which occurred GA
November last there have appeared in
reputable newspapers in this county and
elsewhere in the State charges. quite cir
cumstantial in their character, of the
bribery of voters at that election in this
county. The court IS not advised that
any complaints Of this character have
been made before any of the local magis-
trates. nor that any original complaints
are likely to be preferred before you, nor
is the court fully advised Of the truth Of
the alleged acts of bribery. The court
requested the Prosecutor soon after these
publications to look into the matter and
If possible procure evidence to be pre-
sented to the Grand Jury. Any reasonable
expense to employ necessary deteetives
or others would have been gladly ordered
paid.
II is quite difficult for the court to get
at the true facts in these eases. The law
is clear and explicit. The bribery Of
voters is made crime punishable by
both fine and Imprisonment. 1t is a
heinous crime and the penalty is severe.
The Grand Jury can reach it If they will.
The remedy is in your hands You come
from almost every township in the county
You know the men of whom it is said
that they buy votes or handle funds sup
posed to be used for that purpose, You
also know some men Of whom it is be-
lieved that they regularly sell their sacred
right of suffrage to one party or the
other. do you not? The oath which you
have taken adjures you to diligently in
quire as we'll as true presentment make
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WAIT FOR
SOME PERSON TO COME BEFORE
YOU WITH A COMPLAINT OR UNTIL
A CASE IS SENT TO YOU BY THE
COURT OR PROSECUTOR. YOU CAN
BRING THE MATTER Up YOURSELF.
If you believe you know who handled
money to buy votes in your town JUST
SUBPOENA HIM BEFORE THE
GRAND JURY. AND LET HIM PURGE
HIS CONSCIENCE UNDER OATH as to
what money he had, what it was used for
and to whom it was given, and FOLLOW
EACH PERSON WHO RECEIVED IT
WITH A LIKE SUBPOENA UNTIL
YOU GET ALL THE FACTS.

full and true to the noblest political ideal.
In the world of business he had the
absolute confidence of al the interests
with which he came in contact. His word
was as good as his bond. and his business
life had been in thorough harmony with
every principle involved in the highest
type of integrity.
He was austere in manner due to his
thorough military training, but beneath
the cloak of his austerity he was tender
and kind, liberal to a fault and blessed
with charitable nature which found its
vent in innumerable worthy charities and
purposes.
His home life was ideal. His religious
views were broad There was no bigotry
ia his life.
For many years he represented New
Jersey in the United States Senate, where
he exercised his weight and influence in
the upbuilding of the country he loved
so well
His national activity was marked with
conservatism that made him an impor-
tant factor in shaping the national poll
cies
His knowledge of men was marvellous
and his power over and with men was
due 10 the great esteem and confidence
his character won for him.
In his death the State has suffered a
great loss. and the nation mas peen & oe-
prived of the services OF one OF her lore
most citizens. -,
The effect and influence of his life will
not be effaced for generations 10 come,
have OCCASION TO remember him as one OF
her nob1est sons.

Comfy Grand jury for the Decem-
City on Tuesday. the 10 nit.
A few words as to your orderly course
Of procedure. You should take up the
consideration Of such matters as are COM
nittea to you by the Court, generally or
specially at any time during your ser
vice. and such matters as are laid he
fore you by the Prosecutor, who is the
Representative Of the State and who holds
an office that is semi-judicial in charac-
ter. THE TIME AND MANNER OF
PRESENTING BUSINESS BEFORE
YOU SHOULD BE LEFT TO HIM, for
the great mass Of criminal business which
necessarily comes before the Court in
county SO large as this must be sys-
tematized. WHATEVER THE PROSE-
cUToR FEELS IT HIS DUTY TO LAY
BEFORE YoU BY DUE PRODUCTION
OF WITNESSES IT IS YOUR DUTY
10 HEAR without inquiring whether
previous Grand Jury has or has not con-
sidered the same matter.
A GRAND JUROR SHOULD NOT
PERMIT ANY PRIVATE PERSON TO
SUGGEST AN INQUIRY INTO AN AL
LEGGED oFlFENsE, BUT SHOULD RE
FER ANYONE WHO ATTEMPTS TO
MAKE sUcuI A SUGGESTION TO THE
PROSECUTOR. IF A GRAND JUROR
HAS KNOWLEDGE OF FACTS THAT
HE DEEMS PROPER TO BE THE
SUBJECT OF ENQUIRY HE MAY
STATE THEM 10 THE PROSECUTOR,
or to his assembled colleagues. If the
Prosecutor, when requested by the Grand
jury. does not see it to be his duty to
institute the inquiry ana issue process
for witnesses you may. through your fore
man. lay the matter before the Court.
In early times witnesses who were to
testify before the Grand Jury were sworn
in open court, but the modern practice
is for the court TO authorize the issue Of
process for the witnesses returnable be-
fore the Grand Jury itself. THE
PROSECUTOR, AS ATTORNEY FOR
THE STATE. HAS GENERAL AU-
THoRITY TO DIRECT THE ISSUE OF
THE COURTS PROCESS. But NO.
OTHER PERSON HAS SUCH AUTHOR
ITY.
