Second Painting Spell In
tho Court Of Chancery.


Another witness in the Gibson Byrnes
property suit tainted this morning while
testifying before Vice-C Chancellor Steven
son in Chancery Chambers. The witness
was young woman who was a friend
of the Gibson family. She was revived
and taken home.
On Tuesday, Miss Annie Gibson, who
brought the suit against her brother-in-

by her grandmother, Mrs. Anastatia Da-
Wis, tainted on the stand and had to be
carried into the -Chancellor's private
office, where she remained some minutes
before recovering.
The parties in the case resid in the

CLOUDED LIVES.
Jersey City Cropping Under
the Thick Smoke Of the
Forest Fires.

Along with other cities in this locality
Jersey City is cropping its way along
through the smoke Of the great forest
fires that are raging as close as Long
Island, up through New York State and
extending through the New England
States and into Canada for thousand
miles. Smoke, smoke, wholly smoke, not
even mixed with fog. 1t required no
smoke glasses in order ito peer steadily
in the face of Old Sol yesterday. To-
day the smoke was so dense as to shut
out his face completely.
The phenomenon has been one of the
strangest ever witnessed in this section.
Though there is no moisture in the at
mosphere it is as depressing as fog.
Its effect can be seen on man and beast.
Many people are seen rubbing their eyes
and complaining they hurt them. The
new disease has been termed smoky eyes.
Some people who have been more af-
fected than others have rubbed their eyes
until they have become bloodshot, and
with the irritated lids infamed until they
look like burnt holes in blanket. 1t
is perhaps fortunate thing that the
soft coal smoke nuisance, which has not
been altogether abated, got peoples eyes
and their breathing apparatus more or
less accustomed to smoke, otherwise the
distress inflicted by the present pail from
the burning forests would be more per-
ceptible,

WHERE IS CHARLES PAGEL
No Trace Can Be Found of the
saIoonkeeper Who Dis
appeared April 80.

The whereabouts of Charles Pagel,
the Thorne street saloon keeper. who dis
appeared on April 80, last, still remains
a mystery. He was discharged from the
City Hospital on the morning of that
day, after being kept there only one
night. The day before he had been ar
rested in New York 70 racting in queer
manner at the Christopher street ferry
house and was fined $40 in the Jefferson
Market Court. His wife explained that
since Pagel broke his left leg while at
work in New York iron foundry year
ago, he had been subject to frequent at
tacks of temporary insanity. The fine
was remitted and Pagel accompanied his
wife home to No. 100 Thorne street, this
city.
That night he became violent and was
taken to the City Hospital, but was dis
charged next morning. Since then his
wife has lost all trace of him. The
police of this city, New York and Astoria
T. l., have been searching for him, and
his wife has searched hospitals and
morgues for him or his body, but without
avail He is five feet seven inches tall,

1t is highly probable that when the
Fire Commissioners next year send in
their estimate for the maintenance of
the department for the fiscal year of
1904-5, it will include an item for pos
sibly $4,000 for the establishment of a
manual office system of fire alarm tele-

1t is said that the city is much in need
of such system and is taking more or
less desperate chances without it. The
city has far outgrown the present plant,
which is far from being up to date.
Should two dangerous fires break out at

city there would be lots of trouble and
the city would suffer a great loss Two

The wires under the manual system are

Some years ago bin was passed by
The Legislature and signed by the COVER
ior authorizing the issue of bonds for the
Installation of such system in this city,
but the Financiers have not seen their
way clear to devote the amount of money
required for such purpose.

would include $1,000 or $4,000 for ar
