PIucky Greenville Policeman
Receive Well Mcrited
Advancement.

The Board of Police Commissioners
last night held its regular mid-monthly
meeting. After the routine business had
been transacted, communication was
received from Capt. Thos. p Nugent, en-
dorsed by Chief Murphy. which recon-
mended the promotion of Acting Patrol
man William J. Charlock, of the Fifth
Precinct, from Acting Patrolman, of the
third grade to patrolman.
At a previous meeting of the Board
this same matter had been up for dis
cussion and, the legality of such pro-
motion had been questioned The opin-
ion was then that an acting patrolnan
according to law had to be advanced
grade by grade, and could NOT be jumped
to full fedged patroIman. Fhe opinion
Of Corporation Counsel Record was
asked and when received was in the
affirmative After this opinion was read
last night the Board was unanimous in
promoting Charlock, his promotion to
date from January /, 1903.
The officer in question received this
promotion for bravery in rescuing num-
Der of people from fire on October ,,
1902, at great risk to himself and is the
only member Of the department who
wears the bronze cross of honor, which he
won BY this act.

Freezing
AND STARVING;
Mother and Two Children
Found In a Distressing
State.
WOMAA'S IMPROvIDENCE
Her Husband Left Her Money
But She Spent 1t All
Foolishly.
WOMAA'S IMPROvIDENCE

A family of three, a mother and two
children, were found starving and freez-
ing to death yesterday afternoon in two
small rooms on the top floor of No. 81
Terhune avenue, in the Greenyille sec
tion, BY Bicycle Patrolman Clemenson,
of the Ocean avenue station house.
The woman is Mrs. Mary Deeg a
widow. Her husband died last spring.
Her two children are William, aged ten.
and Carrie, aged eight.
Poormaster Hewitt was notified by the
police, and he found Mrs. Deeg and her
daughter huddled together in a small bed
to keep warm. The woman was sick ana
had had no medicical attendance or food
for some time The two rooms We're Bit
ter cold. There was not thing to eat
in the house and no fuel The woman
was penniless and destitute.
MISERABLE QUARTERS.
4 few pieces of rough furniture were
all the household goods, the others having
been sold TO buy food.
The poormaster learned that the WON
an had been without substantial food for
over a week. From time to time neieh-
bors supplied food to the family and took
the two children into their houses to
keep them from freezing in the bare
apartments upstairs. Mr.. Hewitt pur-
chased large Quantity Of groceries fer
the family5and had the boy carry them
home. Today some coal was sent to the
house
City Physician c. Y. Everett visited
the sick woman. He found her suffering
from stomach trouble He had medicine
sent to her
1t came to the notice of the Poor
master that neither one of the children
had ever received any schooling The
woman admitted that she never sent the
children to be educated
Mrs. Deeg has lived in the present
abode for three years. Her husband,
. who died last spring, was employed in
the powder works in West Bergen. He
was insured fer $500 in two companies.
1t was supposed that the Deeg family
was destitute when the head of the fam
lily died. Deeg was a member of the
Zion Lutheran Church The Ladies' AID
took up her case and were preparing to
provide for her maintenance when the
members learned that Mrs Deeg was to
receive the insurance money.
VICTIM OF DRINK.
From what can. be learned, Mrs. Deeg
is blamed for her destitute condition. Her
neighbors say she spent money foolislly
and never thought of the future She
spent every penny of the $500. 1t was
also learned that she also spent large
sum before her husband died, which she
had received from the sale of a piece
of property. The woman has relatives
who are well-to-do but none of them will
do anything for her because, it is said,
she spent her money for drink
1t is likely that the woman will be
sent to the hospital and her children to
the aimshouse.
