FAITH CURISTS' RESPITE
Case Against Them for Con-
CeaIing Smallpox Is
Postponed.

The case of the Faith Curists, who
We're summoned to appear in the Oakland
avenue police court this morning, to ex-
plain why they had assisted In secreting
several cases of smallpox from the Board
of Health, was postponed until May e,
owing to the absence of several important
witnesses.
The Board of Health caused the "Sis-
ters" of the Elsey Memorial Chapel on
Jewett avenue to be summoned to court
The health officers discovered about a
week ago that a number of persons who
weresin the habit Of attending services at
the Elsey Chapel were sick with small
from the authorities and treated by the
system employed by the followers of that
creed. In all the doctors found about q
dozen cases. Some of the patients hal
been i'll for several weeks. All were sent
to Snake Hill.
A Mrs Snyder, of Brunswick street,
who nursed man named George Bells,
at No. 2 Foye place, for the sum of twen-
ty-five cents a day. is seriously i'll at
Snake Hill and is not expected to live.
Bells is the man who wrote to the Off
cial paper of the Divine Healers, testi-
flying that he had been cured of a severe
attack of smallpox. Through this pa
per the health officials learned of the
other cases being hidden.
The health officials have been endeavor-
ing to effect an entrance into the chapel
on Jewett avenue for the purpose of fu-
migating it, hut the Sisters" ha ,e
abandoned services since the officials
took up the matter and the chapel has
been closed.

THEY MADE A MISTAKE
Two Young Men Attempt to
Whip Detective Gallagher
With Surprising
Result.

Arthur Fagan, twenty-fonr years old, OF
No. 136 Wayne street, and Luke Hart,
twenty-one years of age, of No. 290 Fifth
street, were arrested by Detective Alex.
Gallagher, of Police Headquarters, for
raising disturbance on lower Montgom-
cry street, at o'clock this morning. The
detective seeing the two men in a con-
troversy ran up to separate them, when
both suddenly turned on the detective
They thought that they could easily dis
pose of the detective, and at once both
turned upon him. They made a great mis-
take. however, for Gallagher was at one
time a pugilist of some note, and with
a few scientific ''left hooks" upper cuts"
and effectual "jabs," he soon compelled
the two young men to submit.
This morning they were arranged be-
fore Judge IIoos in the First Crimina
Court. ard they plainly showed the eff
fects of the punishment the detective aG-
ninistered to them. They were fined s.

and these expenses have been borne by
the Newark Plank Road Company.
During the last session of the Legisla-
ture an act was passed intended to meet
the situation.
Up to this time there have been no
conferences with the company.
The company, on the 21st day of May,
for their own protection, will be forced
to insist on the exclusive ownership of
the property. Disappointment will then
ensue to those who have heretofore used
the road for vehicle traffic. The agree
ment now in force shows great desire to
settle the matter amicably on the part of
the company. 1t cannot be expected that
the company can imperil its position by
extending the privileges beyond the term
agreed upon.
Very truly,

Counsel Newark Plank Road Company.

When the friends of John Clark, Of
Tarrytown. and Miss Louise Clark Of
Pavonia avenue, this city. read the fore
going marriage notice in New York
newspaper, they were amazed, for they
knew that the two are first cousins. and
the reported bride had other plans only
a few days before her alleged marriage.
Mr.. Clark is a horse dealer with sta
bles in Tarrytown and New York. He
has been very busy of late, and tive
weeks passed before his attention was
called to the publication. During all this
tine gossip continued in the social cir
Gle in which he and his cousin move, and
wonder was expressed that the bridal
couple had made no announcement of
their marriage to friends.
The newspaper Mr. Clark said ves-
terday, like myself, has been imposed
upon by some saphead who perhaps
thought this good practical joke have
seen my cousin Louise Clark today, and
she knows nothing about the affair." she
IS a charming girl whom any man might
be proud to win, but she is not married
and neither am I. She is the daughter
Of my fathers brother and wouldn'r
marry her under any circumstances. In
the first place, there is a law against
such marriages. and, besides, I'm not in
the marrying business. Ny line is horses
The announcement of the marriage was
left at the newspaper Office the day befors
its publication. The notice bears the in
dorsement, Mrs. J. G. Clark, Tarry-
town" The chirography is masculine.
and apparently the notice was written ~
a man or woman past middle age. Mr.
discovery of the author of the announce
ment, and he promises to make it inter-
esting for the guilty party if the latter is
found.
