Latter Declines to Pay the
Finders Their Wages-All
Hands in Court.

A strange case of woman who had
mania for boarding money in wood
shed and in cigar boxes which she hid
in secluded hooks of her home, was re-
vealed in a suit tried before Judge Smith

city, to recover SIG, which the Shays
assert is due them for taking care of

According to the testimony, johnson,
who is at present employed as clerk in
a New York brokers' office, moved into
the New York avenue house with his
mother several years ago. They came
from the South. 1t was alleged that they
were in needy circumstances at the time
and We're occasionally, it was said, assist
ed by neighbors.
Mrs. johnson, however, was respected
by all who knew her. On April Z last
she died. After the funeral her son did
requested Mr.. and Mrs. Shay, who were
neighbors, to take charge of the prem
ises until he could arrange for the re-
moval of the furniture
The Shays said that they looked after
the property from April to May 81.
They testified that when they We're left
in charge Johnson informed them that he
thought his mother had money stored
away somewhere in the house. He said
she had a mania for hiding money while
in the south and he believed she must
have put some away while in this city,
He requested the Shays to search the
house thoroughly and to be sure and keep
the doors locked so that no one else
could enter in their absence. He eau
toned them nat to admit anyone under
any circumstances.
RESULT OF THE SEARCH.
Mrs. Shay stated that she searched the
house and found two cigar boxes filed
with dimes. She also discovered four ci-
gar boxes containing bills of various de-
nominations. and in a number of books
she found five and ten-doilar bank notes.
In a storeroom in the wood shed in the
rear yard were found several SO gold
pieces and another box of dimes. Mrs.
Shay said she turned all the money over
to Johnson, as she found it. She did not
know what was the total amount found,
as she said she did not count it. She es-
timated it to be several hundred dollars.
Mrs. Shay added that all she and her
husband asked was to be paid for taking
care of the premises, which duty she
said they performer faithfully and hon
estly.
Judge Smith reserved decision in the
case until next week.

Street and Water Board
Asks Money for Five
Important Plans.

Taking into consideration that the
Board of Finance has refused in making
up the budget, to allow the Street and
Water Board any money for the con-
struction of needed sewers described in
the estimates for 1902-1903, the Street
and Water Board at its meeting yester
day afternoon adopted resolutions ask
ing for money for new sewers as fol
lows
$15,11S for new sewer system i'll Bel
mont, Gardner, Monticello and Jewett
avenues, to connect with the sewer IN
Fairmount avenue
$4,950 for relief sewer In Ocean ave-
nue., between Wade and New streets.
$5,635 for a relief sewer in Harrison
avenue, between Monticello avenue and
Park street.
$1.660 for relief sewer in Henderson
street, between Tenth and Eleventh
streets.
$4,000 for relief sewer in Division
street, between Eighth and Thirteenth
streets.
The last of these is needed more than
any other. with the possible exception of
the first. II would drain the meadow
land and prevent, as Chief Engineer Van
Keuren says, the breeding of disease.
The land in the vicinity is now in dis
graceful condition. All the sewerage
from the Eastern side of Palisade ave-
nue. flows down on it.
The Belmont Gardner Monticello-Jew
EFT avenue sewer, President Ringle, of
the Finance Board, devised the Street
and Water Board to- specially request.
The Street and Water Board, when they
were thus directed, assumed it had been
stricken out of their estimate and con
cluded the others We're, too. A dele
CATION of citizens and property owners

SMALLPOX SCARE
Boy Found with the Rash at the
Snake Hill Hospital.

Aegenuine scare was created this
morning in the Emergency Hospital, at
Snake Hill, where a dozen diphtheria
cases are confined when it was discov-
cred that four-year-old Carlo Beroticko,
Of Sixteenth street, was suffering from
smallpox. A rash was discovered on his
face by the attendant and he was quick
ly separated from the diphtheria pa
tents The Health Board was notified
and DR.. Converse will examine the case
this afternoon.
The patient was sent to the Emergen-
cy Hospital two days ago, supposed to
be suffering from diphtheria. There is
every reason to believe that Beraticho
has smallpox, as several smallpox pa
tients have been taken from the same
house on Sixteenth street.
Two other cases We're discovered this
morning. One is Mrs. A. Nostrand,
of No. PSI Grove street. She has a
serious attack. This other patient was

and gave his assailant a desperate fight.
They were hard at it when the Buffalo
express came flying out of the tunnel
The men were on another track close to
...a one on WHICH the express was run
ming. Instantly the stranger took in the

NO FRUIT VENDOR
Hamilton Park Residents
Raise a Great Hubbub
Over an Italians
Proposed Stand

The residents of the fashionable neigh
borhood adjacent to Hamilton Park have
just won victory over an Italian fruit
vendor.
The vendor made application to Mr..
V. NJ Totten few days ago to be al
lowed to erect fruit stand at the side
of Mr.. Totten's drug store, which is at
avenue.
Mr. Totten told him he would give him
permission providing ther was no COM
plaint made by the neighbofs. Mr.. Tot
ten heard of no complaints and then
procured a permit for the erection of the
stand.
Work was begun on the stand the day
before yesterday and simultaneously
petition was drawn up and circulated by
DIR. f. c. Barlow and Mr.. III. G. Still
well, protesting against the stand as
nuisance and a detriment to the value of
property and to high tone of the neigh
borhood. Messrs Stillwell and Barlow
obtained about thirty five signers to the
petition and yesterday presented it to
Mayor Pagan.
As anoutcome Of the proceedings the
Italian is now looking for a new site
from which to dispense his 'sripa bannan
and gotta da peach" 1t is said that he
is endeavoring to secure permission to
locate in a vacant lot just around the
corner from Jersey avenue on Eighth
street.
Mr.. Totten said when interviewed to-
day
Il do not wish to be placed in false
position in this matter. 1 told this
Italisan, whose name / do not recall
that he could erect the stand if there
We're no objections by the nearby resi-
dents, but should there be, then the
stand could not be erected. / knew alb
solatey nothing of any petitioners come
to me in the first place ther would have
been no necessity of going any further.
The stand will not stay where it is
