TOBACCO AS PRESENT
William Lutz Gets Plug by Mall, but Dis
covers Arsenic In 1t

PRINCETON, N. j., Jan. 11-William
Lutz was the recipient of present today.
had he partaken of which he would be a
dead man.
In the afternoon mail Lutz received
package containing plug of tobacco and
letter. Placing the tobacco in his pock-
ct, he opened the letter, and with smile
remarked:
This Is my first present; 1 wonder
what will come next?"
The letter, which was written in a bold
hand, read as follows:
Friend Will: Please accept this small
gift as present, with greetings from
friend"
The letter was unsigned.
Shortly afterwards Lutz decided to SAM
pie the tobacco; but just as he was about
to bite into the plug he caught sight of a
small aperture in the side of it. Becom-
ing suspicious, he opened up the plug
with knife, only to find that in the CEN
ter lay a white and green powder.
He took the plug of tobacco to chem
ist, who pronounced the powder arsenic
and paris green. there being over thirty
grains of the deadly drugs concealed in
the tobacco. 1t was handed over to the
authorities and the letter placed in the
hands of the postal officials, who will
make every effort to discover the sender
of the poisoned tobacco.

Letter Found On James Kel-

No. l75 Eighteenth Street
Gives a Motive for Els
Act.
HIS WIFE REPUDlATED HIM
HE HAD TLL-TREATED HER AND
IN DEFINITE TERMS SHE TOLD

FAR APART.

James Kelly, fortyfive years old, of
No 175 Eighteenth street, committed
suicide yesterday by shooting himself in
the right temple with thirty-two cali
bre revolver. A Mrs. Reynolds. who had
heard the report of the revolver and sus-
pected that something was wrong, noti-
fed Patrolman Beggans and Acting Pa
trolman P. Kelly. They climbed the FIRE
escape and forced window The sui
eide was found dead. fully dressed in his
bed. The body was taken to Hughess
Morgue.
A letter was found, showing motive of
the suicide. 1t was written by his wife,
Jemima, who left him on July IA. In
The letter was written in a straightf0r-
tai treatment" of her on the 18th Of
Jnly. She tcl6 in plai" language that she
didn't want to have anything more to do
with him and she did not want him both
ering her o. any member of her family.
The letter was written in astraightfor-
ward, and what might be termed falr-
minded manner. She told him she Lad
deft him his pay and let him have their
boy, and had seen that there we4e no
debts on the house. She said in the let
ter that she was not hiding; that she was
not stopping with relatives, and that she
had been to work since two days after
she left him, and all she wanted was to
be left alone. The letter was dated Au-
gust %, from Long Island City.

FREIGHT IN THE HUDSON


Two freight cars bound for New Ha-
ven and loaded with. general merchan-
disc and a gondola or fat car attached
to train that had been shifted from
the Pennsylvania Railroad yard near the
Adams Express pier to the transport
Maryland, slid off the rails and dumped
themselves into the North river shortly
after seven o'clock this morning. The
transport was to take the train to Mott
Haven, where it was to go over the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad to New Haven. A wrecking
crew with huge derricks are at work att
tempting to raise the cars. One of the
box cars is entirely submerged; portion
of the top of the other car can-just be
seen above the surface and the fiat is
resting paftly on it and partly on the
transport. 1t will take all day to raise
the three cars and the transport with
the cars aboard will have to remain at
the pier while the care are being lifted.
A big crewd was attracted and are
watching the wrecking crew working in
the rain.

RUSSIA'S STAND
Gar Refuses Absolutely to
Gede Territory or Pay
Indemnity to Japan.
DECISION SAID TO De FINA
PRESIDENT ReosEvELTs EF-
FORTS TO ESTABLISH PEACE,
THOUGH FUTILE. ARE APPRE-
GATED.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Aug. %. 1895.
The statement said to be ankhoritatizs
of Count Lamsdorf, the Russian Miais-
ter of Foreign Affairs, that Russia would
not consider the payment Of an indemnity
or the cession of territory in any fern,
was the chief topic of discussion in Oys-
ter Bay this morning.
If Lamsdorff's statement was made ID
good feish, as would appear on the face
of it, it would indicate that the despatch
received by the President late last We'd
nesday night from Ambassador George
Won l.. Meyer after the Ambassadors
audience of three hours duratAsn with
the Gar at Peterhef, contained nothing
more satisfactory than an expression e
the Cars appreciation of the Presidents
efforts in behalf Of peace and the assur-
ance of Russia's good will toward the
United States.
If, however. Count LamsdorR's an
nouncement was intended merely for its
effect on the Japanese and also on the
Russian people, it is hoped that Ambas-
sador Meyers cabled report of his inteB-
view may have a different tenor and cor
tanned some suggestions as to concessions
which Russia might be disposed to gram
specific enough to give the President
basis TO werk on.
No inkling as to. what was conveyed IN
Ambassador Meyers despatch has been
given out here. There was even an. at
tempt TO conceal the fact that it had been
received; but judging from the length of
time taken by the clerks at the executiws
officers TO translate it from the cipher IN
which it was sent. it must have been
composed of considerable number Of
words. Notwithstanding natural re
luetaree TO abandon hope; it is admitted
here that fer Russia to back down now
after the issuance of Count Lamsdorfs
unqualified pronunciamente would b ex-
tremely difficult.

PENNSY's new ENGINE

A freight engine is now being run on
the New York division of the Penasyl-
vania Railroad that is attracting the at
tention of all who see her gliding aleng
on the rails. Her number is 1883, and
the reason why she is so conspicuous is
because her eccentries and other inpcr-
tant parts of her machinery are built ~n
the outside instead of beneath.
Besides having advantage over other
engines this type is peculiarly desirable
for reasons of economy as well as con-
venience. When the machinery Of other
engines requires oiling or repairing tits
necessary to crawl under the ensESa.
This takes up time and the work eaaaat

to repair disabled part lets of trousEe
is entailed, getting it out. and sftsa -
requires several men to dc the work.
With the parts on the outside they are
always in plain view, are easily eRea,
and when found to be sut Of order are
always easily disconnected. Aside fxo4a
this an engineer can see if the parts are
intact, whereas when beneath the engiAS

MERELY
MENTIONED

Mayor Pagan doesn't seem inclined to
grant the request of the citizens Of the
Hudson City section to transform the
reservoir into a playground. He doesn't
deny that the project is popular one
and that it would be a great benefit to
the people Of the Eleventh and Twelfth
Wards, but he fears that the Democratic
Board of Street and Water Commission
ers would get the credit Of having
brought it about. This is the only reason
that he has not had the Board of FL
nance grant the request for the necessary
appropriation.

tspeciai to .-rhe Jersey City News,


ASBURY PARK. August 25, 1905
Mayor Frank L. Tenbroeck, of Asbury
Park, is determined to put a stop to
reckless automobile driving in this re-
sort. Since the season began not a week
has gone by that some accident has not
been reported, and within the last day or
two there have been several Fortunately
none have proved fatal but that seems
very remarkable, and such good luck can
not be expected to continue.
An automobile whizziag around the
corner of Bangs and Cookman avenue
ran over Horace Haines, the 9-year-ola
son of John Haines, of West Park. He
was picked up and examined by Br. H.
S. Kinmouth, and found to be not SER
ionsiy hurt unless developments show i'm
ternal injuries.
The car was No. 1880. A crowd of
people attempted to mob the driver, but
he put on full speed and shock them off.
One of the six-day nonstop race auto
mobiles, running between Seabright and
Sea Girt, while passing through Asbury
Park, ran over messenger boy on Main
street this week and the same night
Terence Keenan,, of Sylvan avenue, was
found unconscious in gutter, having
been knocked off his bicycle and run
over by an automobile without anyone
seeing it.
So many machines pass through As
bury Park that it is generally hard work
to get across the street without having
one whiz by in front of ones nose or
Just behind ones back. Mayor Ten
brock has stationed a policeman at the
Deal Lake bridge to take the time of
all the racing cars entering the resort
and another one on South Main street to
take the time that they leave town. The
distance is mile and quarter and if
it is figured out that they have exceeded
the speed limit the occupants will be ar
rested upon their next round, A man
who was almost run over on Lake ave-
nue., near Grand, jumped in the car
which had just missed killing him, when
it came to a sudden stop, and with both
fists nearly pounded the life out of the
ear driver. Similar instances are nu-
merous.

LENTz UNANSWERABLE

Especial to ..The Jersey city News')
NEWARK, August 25, 1905.-s.Ther
is nothing for me to answer in Major
Lentz's speech at Bloomfeld,' said As
semblyman Everett Colby.
A stenographer employed by Mr.
Colby to take Major Lentz's speech read
his notes to Mr.. Colby, Chairman Will
lam P. Martin and other members of
the limited franchise and equal taxa
tion committee The first intention Of
Mr.. Colby, after hearing the speech read,
was not to make any reply to the Major,
but later he dictated the following state
ment:-
the remarks made by Major Lentz last
night, it seems to me he has entirely
avoided the chief point at issue, namely,
the principle advocated by me in my
platform as compared with the deelara-
tion of principles by the county commit
tee so far as the two are antagonistic.
This is the real matter for serious con-
sideraeion and the one which the intelli-
gent Republican voters of the Essex
county are to pass upon at the primary
election OF September II. and the omis-i
sion Of any discussion shows that the
Major and the advocates Of the recon-
mended platform dare not meet the peo-
pie fairly and squarly upon the issue.
IF there is any statement which
Major Lentz has made which seems to
me to demand an answer as being of any
material importance.in this campaign. or
of real interest to the voters, | shall re-
ply to it within short time
The reading Of the Lentz speech in the
committee room at Colby headquarters
was punctuated By peals Of laughter. Mr..
Colby himself seemed to enjoy some Of
the things the Major had to say.
