GYPSY BAND
IS IN CAMP
Horse Traders and Fortune
Tellers Pitch Tents in
Glendale Woods.
COMPANY OF SERVlANS
Lose Their Pet Pony But He
Is Found for Them by
the Police.
COMPANY OF SERvlANs

For the first time in seven years a
band of Servian gypsies is camping in
the small clump of woods in the rear OF
the Glendale Park, to the north of the
Plank Road. The coming Of this band
is known to very few people. They
reached their destination late last night.
There are ten beautifully painted
wagons, which are used as sleeping quar-
ters by the various families, and these
wagons are scattered throughout the
woods, presenting picturesque scene.
There are twelve families in the band
in all about thirty men, women and chill
dren. The children took delight in
scampering through the woods this morn
ing and what aroused their curiosity
most were the golf links, where play was
in progress.
The men drove stakes in the ground
and busted themselves generally in max
ing the new camping ground comfortable.
COOKING BREAKFASTT.
When reporter of 'ThTe News
reached the camp this morning, the
gypsies wer cooking their breakfast.
Several wood fires wer burning brislzly
and pots and pans We're hanging over
the cracking wood.
These wanderers appear to be per-
fectly satisfied with their rowing life.
They take everything easy and do very
little worrying.
There was CONSERVATION in the camp
early this morning when it was discov-
cred that the pet pony had disappeared
during the night. The whole band began
a search for the little fellow. Three Of
the men made trip to Police Headquar-
tiers and inquired for the pony They
were told that the pet had been found
on the Plank Road near the drawbridge
about seven o'clock this morning by a
man named Whippett. The men were
sent to the Communipaw avenue station
house and there learned wher the animal
was.
There was much rejoicing when the
little beauty was led back again. The
animal is jet black, save the two hind
legs, which are pure white.
HORSE TRADERS.
This band will remain in the Glendale
Woods for several weeks. The gypsies
make business of trading horses, and
it is vet to be recorded where they came
out second best in any deal. They are
shrewd in their line of business and
every deal carried through by them
means an advantage.
This band has fine stock of animals
on hand, which are for sale or exchange
1t is expected that a large number OF
people will visit the camp during the
stay of the gypsies to have their for
tunes told. 1t is not unusual for band
to leave with hundred or more ladies
handkerchiefs, which are the fees e1-
tracted for the reading of palms and the
forecasting of futures.

Off IN TROLLEYS
Crowds Greet the McLaugh-
lins as They Ride to
Union Hill.

An immense crowd of people blocked
the street for almost a block in each
direction from the McLaughlins' club
room as early as 7.30 o'clock last even
ing, composed of men, women and chill
dren, all good naturedly waiting for the
start.
The front of the Mclaughlin club
house was handsomely decorated from
top to bottom with American flags fes-
tooned in pretty designs. a large picture
of the popular standard bearer of the
association, in frame composed OF the
national colors, was ON the front of the
building. Fireworks were sent off every
minute until the last car had pulled away
about nine o'clock.
The start was made promptly at $50
and the number Of peopie who boarded
the waiting cars showed plainly the
popularity of the standard bearer and the
great strength of the Democratic party.
SUBURBAN ENTHUSIASM.
The cars went down jersey avenue to
Newark avenue, then to the ferry, back
to Erie street, and the journey was really
commenced when the procession started
ND the HILL All along the line until the
suburban districts were entered the citi-
zens stood on the sidewalks to see the
brightly illuminated cars. On every block
in the lower section of the city was a dis
play of fireworks. The small boy was in
his glory, as he could yell as much as
he wanted to as the trolley party went
by.
One unpleasant feature of the ride was
the gathering of band of hoodlums on
the bank of the Ninth street hill. They
threw mud, weeds, hop toads and burcs
and injured the pretty waists worn by
several ladies'. A routing party quickly
cleared the hill of the rowdies.
At the top of the hill it was necessary
to switch the cars from one track to an
cession, but the sight seers waited until
the last horn had been blown and the red
fire carried on many Of the cars died
away in the distance.
ONE HUNDRED DAVISES.
| Ex-County Collector Denis Mclaughlin
| was the last to board the cars, as he in
| sisted that everyone be properly seated
and started before he would embark. He
then boarded car in which was seated
a fife and drum corps. They started to
play as the cars moved away, and at
the first opportunity Mr.. Mclaughlin
changed to another car. He did not IS
| cape the bombardment from the hill, but
took everything good naturedly.
The Davis Association was represented
| by about one hundred members who
| thoroughly enjoyed>every minute of the
| time. Two cars were sent to Grove and
| Montgomery street to save them the
trouble of going all the way to the Nc
| Laughlin headquarters. These two cars
met the procession at the Pennsylvania
Ferry.

CAGE FOR THE TREE.
Boys Broke OF Whole Branches
Laden with Peaches.

, At Palisade and Jefferson avenues, as
an ornament to one of the finest gardens
in that section, is beautiful peach tree
laden heavily with ripe red peaches. 1t
stands within a few feet of the front
fence and is an awful temptation to the
s.s.ail boys of that and even somewhat
distant localities.
Up through the branches of the tree
sl.oo.s flag pole, around the base of
which is pretty flower bed. Some of
the boys have been jumping the fence
and in their haste pulling whole branches
from the tree full of fruit, and trampling
down the flower bed.
The owner has been obliged to cage
the tree. Today six-foot wire screen
was erected entirely around the outer
edges of the branches.

LIFE SAVERS
FIRST RESCUE
John Morton Saves Miss
Katherine Piggott Of
GreenvilIe From
Drowning.
OWED TO REACH HER
Exciting Incident on the New
ark Bay Shore Life Pre-
server Failed Her.
OWED TO REACH HER

The United States Life Saving Corps
lately established ON the Newark Bay
shore, at the foot of Danforth avenue,
had its first rescue yesterday afternoon.
when John Morton, member OF the
crew, saved Miss Katharine Piggott, OF
Gator avenue, from drowning in the New
ark Bay. She had sunk for the third
time when Morton dove from the bath
house and brought her to the surface
unconscious.
Miss Piggott is very pretty and pop
ular young lady Of Greenville, and yes
terday afternoon she left her home to
take bath at "Steve" Herig's bathing
grounds at the foot of Danforth avenue.
The young lady has always had great
desire to learn to swim, and thought she
might teach herself the art
Had it not been for John Morton, who
quickly realized her danger on hearing
her screams, Miss Piggott would have
met a certain death.
Morton saw the preservers slip away
and the young lady go down. He dove
off the bath houses, but before he could
reach her she had sunk for the third
time Not waiting for her to reappear
Me..on dove to the bottom and after
some seconds searching appeared again
with the young lady in his arms.
He then swan to shore, where, under
the efforts of Captain Herig and some
of his crew, Miss Piggott soon recovered
consciousness.
When Miss Piggott had donned her
bathing suit she hired a life preserver
frons Herig, wins hasa siufnher of them,
which, after being filled with air, are
placed under the arms for the purpose
of holding the inexperienced above water
while learning to swim.
Since he has had these to hire they
have become quite fad and every day
the waters about his grounds are dotted
with persons using them.
1t was Miss Piggott's first experience
with them. She placed them in position
and started to make for the diving float
several hundred feet from the shore.
Before she had gone over hundred
feet the floats slipped under her arms
and she was unable to recover them.
She was lavish in expressions of graft
tude toward John Morton, and said he
well deserved the title of life saver. She
was taken home by her friends.
This Life Saving Corps has only been
established little more than two weeks
and the members are all volunteers. They
are jubilant over the way in which Nor
ton proved himself hero. In a few
days Morton will be presented with a
medal for his heroic work.

NO AGREEMENT.
Hudson Freeholders Will
Reject the Essex Plank
Road Proposal.

There is no likelihood of the acceptance
of the proposition of Essex County rela-
tive to the matter of the maintenance of
the Newark plank road at this after
moons meeting of the Freeholders.
The proposition was discussed i'll all its
phases at caucus of the county repre-
sentatives held yesterday afternoon and
it was practically agreed not to accept
the terms offered by the Essex, Freehold
ers.
The reason assigned is that the cost of
building the new Hackensack river
bridge would make this county's share
vastly in excess of the three-efglffhs fixed
by the Chancery Court

SAME old DEAL
Rumor Has It Now That
the Consolidation of
Trolley Systems Is
Not Far Off.
PRICES NAMED FOR STOCK
Mr.. David Young Tells What
He Knows About It
People Interested.
PRICES NAMED FOR STOCK

Within few days, the same old state
ment is made, Chandler w. Riker and
syndicate will control the trolley lines in
Northern New Jersey. This will unite
them to the power which controls all the
lines connecting New York with Phila-
delphia. This big syndicate, so Mr..
Riker says, is the Elkins. Widener of
Philadelphia and Metropolitan Traction
Company of New York combination.
Capitalists in Boston are said to be in
the DEAL
Todays rumor is to the effect that the
deal has SO far progressed that it only
remains for unimportant details to be
effected The price, it is said, to be paid
for North Jersey will be $40 share
and White Line stock will bring $50.
WHAT MIR. DAVID YOUNG SAYS.
Mr. David Young general manager
and vice president of the North Jersey
Street Railway Company, is quoted as
saying that he believed the deal would
go into effect within short time.
'.Do not ask me about any of the de-
tails" SAID Mr.. Young, because know
nothing of them except what | hear in a
general way. l understand Mr.. Riker,
of Newark, has had charge of all the pre-
liminaries.
"Where is the money coming from to
capitalize the new syndicateT Manager
Young was asked.
CAUSE OF DELAY.
'9That / do not know. | understand
the delay in carrying the project into
effect was due to the fact that one of the
men most interested was away on a
yachting trip and has only just returned
home. Indeed he may not have returned
yet, for the rumors on that point are
conflicting
"Who is this man to whom you referg'
Il cannot say, because do not know
his name,"
But you believe the syndicate will
soon acquire the North Jersey, White
Line and other trolley systems in this
State?"
Eyes, I do"
CHANGES POSSIBLE.
One rumor says that when the syndi-
cate takes hold the local trolley systems
will pass entirely under new control, and
that the present managers and officials
will be dropped. Another story has it that
there will be no immediate change of
management, and that the present Off
cials and heads of departments will be re-
tained indefinitely No one seems able to
tell just what will happen but many of
the employees and heads of departments
in both the North Jersey and the White
Line systems are uneasy, not knowing
when their heads may be Topped off.
