Died WHILE GETTING TEA
Woman Who Was Suspected of
Poisoning Her Husband
Found Dead.

When Peter Oakler, carpenter resid-
ing at No. 119 Liberty street, Union Hill,
returned home from his days work at 6
o'clock last evening he found his wife
stretched out ON the floor dead.
Mrs. Oakler had apparently died while
preparing supper. Death is attributed
to heart disease.
Oakler was the woman's third husband
and she gained considerable notoriety
when her second husband, a painter
named Walter Fry, died suddenly.
About a year previous to this, her first
husband died also suddenly, and that, to-
gether with the fact that just before
Fry's death the woman had his life in
sured in her favor, set the tongues of
the gossips in the vicinity to wagging.
Fry was supposed to have died from
painters collie, but so persistent was the
talk that the circumstances surrounding
his death We're suspicious that the Prose
cutor decided to make an investigation.
The detectives who were place on the
case reported thatSit would be useless to
exhume the body and perform an
autopsy because. a local undertaken had
embalmed it, using fluid containing
arsenic, which would undoubtedly be
found in the stomach. They also report
ed that the could discover nothing to
warrant proceedings being taken against
the woman and the matter was dropped.

Neither the Colonel or the Mayor took
the newspaper men into their confidence
as to the nature of the things which they
discussed.
The City Hall officials took it for
granted that they bad their heads to-
gether in reference to the appointments,
which it falls to Mr.. Fagan's lot to make
on January 1.
1t is said that Finance Commissioner
Bacon's boom for the City Collectorship
Is being stiffened as the days wear on.
Mr. Pagan thir'vs great deal Of Mr..
Bacon's busine qualifications and be-
lieves that he. would make capable
officer in any position. 1t wouldn't sur
prise many people if Mr. Bacon should
be Collector Davis's successor.

Estate.

Selection.
EXPECT HELP FROM RECORD

The resolution adopted by the Board
of Education last Thursday night call
ing upon the Board of Finance to pur?
chase the Harriso Lestate on the rocks
for High School site will reach the
Commissioners at their meeting this af-
ternoon.
President Ringle said that the resolu-
tion will not be brought up for con-
currence today, because the Commits
sioners do not see how the city is in
position to go ahead and build a schoolt
where there is no apparent provision
made for raising the necessary money.
He said the resolution will probably be
referred to the Corporation Counsel with
a request to set the Board straight in
the matter of procedure.
Mr.. Ringle said that he was very
anxious that the city should have new
High School to take the place of the Bay
street building, which is manifestly un-
suitable for its present purposes. He is
opposed to unnecessary delays, but he
wants to be sure that the Boards course
is clear before going ahead.
BOARD CRITICIZED.
Criticisms are daily heard rejecting on
the action of the Board of Education in
selecting a site on the edge of a busy
railroad yard.
People living in the vicinity of the
bluff are naturally pleased over the pros
poets of having the city build a school
on the rocks and otherwise improve what
has been grazing place for goats. Else
where in the city, where property will
not be immediately effected by the i'm
provement OF this particular section.
folks are condemning the selection.
One of the frequent objections heard
against the site is the fact that the Pc
culiar make up of the ground, its con-
spicuous position and generous area will
entail the expenditure of great amount
OF money in beautifying the lands sur
rounding the schools.
OBJECTIONS.
1t is feared that the frequent running
of trains at the foot of the hill will SER
iously interfere with the work of the
class rooms.
The pupils and teachers may be able
to stand the noise, it is said, but they
will not find it pleasant or healthful to
be compelled to breathe the soft coal
smoke which will float through the class
rooms when the windows are open.

TWO BRAVE. men LONG Term
ohm F. Conlon Saves a Boy,
and g. B. Herbst Stops
the Runaway in a
Crowded Street.


Charles B. Herbst, proprietor Of the
Summit Cafe, No. 5S7> Summit, won the
applause of crowd yesterday about
noon, by stopping runaway horse which
dashed down Newark avenue, narrowly
escaping collision with trolley car and
almost RUNNING into T. G. Kinkead's
grocery store, No. Cos. Herbst was
dragged some fifty feet and narrowly es-
capped serious injury.
John L. Conlin, of No 674 Summit
avenue, also distinguished himself by
saving three year Albert Hohmann from
being crushed to death.
About the time of the runaway the
school children were going home and the
avenue was crowded. Men, women and
children ran as the horse attached to
covered wagon madly dashed along with
with considerable difficulty ether wagons
We're got out of the way.
Herbst who was standing in front of
the elevator station, seeing the danger,
ran out and seized the bride. He clung
to it and was dragged some distance.
The horse turned into side street,
striking the curb and the wagon went
over, almost smashing into window in
Kinkead's store OH the corner. The horse
also fell, but Herbst let go in time to
prevent the animal from falling on top
of him.
When the wagon toppled over the
little three year old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Albert Hohmann, of No. 514 Newark
avenue, was standing on the sidewalk.
John F. Conlons promptly seized the
child to save him from being crushed
to DEATH
The women in the store when they
heard the crash, screamed and huddled
in the rear.
The horse and wagon was owned
by Morris & Sons bakery, No. 641'
Newark avenue. George G. Morris, Jr.,
had just filled the wagon with bread
and was about to go on his route. He
left the horse standing in front of the
store, while he went back to leave a mes
sage with the clerk, The tail-board of
the wagon tapped, soaring the horse,
which started down Newark avenue at
full speed.
All along the street loaves of bread
were strewn, and at the spot where the
wagon was upset bread was scattered
in every direction. The top of the wagon
was smashed y
Both Herbst and Conlon were praised
for their heroic work, and Albert A.
Holman cannot say or do too much for
Conlon, for saving his son, Albert Hob
man, Jr.

ARRESTS HUBBY FOR ASSAULT
Marriage Trust Doesn't Bring
Peace in This Case.

Peter ]. German, twenty-three years
old, of No. 100 Morris street, was
charged with assault and battery by his
wife, Maggie German, this morning, in
the First Criminal Court. The couple
were married about five months ago and
have never lived together since Justice
of the Peace Frank P. Leblanc, better
known as the Marriage Trust" per-
formed the ceremony. A day or two ago
German and his wife met on the street
and had an argument, which resulted in
number of blows being struck. Coun-
selor William P. Kiernan assured the
court that his client, German, would be
more reserved in the use of his fists in
the future, and in consequence German
was allowed to go free with lecture.
