Leopold T. Zimmerman Suffering
With Heart Disease, Deaf and Dumb
With. a Weak Mind, Coming Here.
DID NOT KNOW He WAS DEAD.

When the driver of New Bruins
wick ambulance arrived at the city
hospital, this city, from Milltown,
last night, with sufferer from hear
disease, he discovered that, during
the latter part OF the trip, at least,
he had been transporting a dead man.
After Il thorough examinat ion had
been made, the return trip with the
corpse was started.
The man, as learned in telephone
interview with DIR. Ferdinand E.
Riva, of Milltown, this morning, was
Leopold e. Zimmerman, who was both
deaf and dumb, lifelong resident of
Miltown, and for the last several
years, sufferer from an affection of
the heart.
Zimmerman. who was about fifty-fi
years old, was unmarried, and had
boarded with an old resident of Mill
town for many years.
Four or five years ago his heart be-
came affected. He was placed in the
Wells Memorial Hospital, at New
Brunswick, and after remaining there
for some time, he showed marked i'm
provement and was discharged from
treatment.
A guardian in the person OF Adam
Wagner, of Milltown. was then APP
pointed for Zimmerman by Judge
Strong.
The man was in comparatively good
health for three or four years until
two weeks ago, when his old trouble
returned. His mind also became slight
ly unbalanced. He would act queerly,
as, forsinstapce, going to the well,
drawing bucket of water and stick
ing his feet in it. Also, when not
watched, he would sneak of for liquor
and go on a spree.
The people with whom he lived
could no longer put up with him, and,
it was decided that it would be best
to place him in some institution. He
had few-relatives in Milltown, but
they would have naught to do with
him.
Mr.. Wagner, his guardian, and DR..
Riva, after careful consideration. de-
cided to put him in a hospital.
The New Brunswick Hospital was
full of patients, and SO 1t was decided
to bring him to this city.
The New Brunswick ambulance was
secured, and Zimmerman started from
Miltown on his last living ride about
5 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The driver was told to turn around
and return to MiIltown if Zimmerman
should expire on the way, as it was
known that the ride, although neces-
sary, would be severe on him.
The last time the driver looked at
his passenger.he was alive. Death
came very peacefully.

Rate Question Being Discussed
by the Members on All
Sides Today.
WAIT FOR BULLETIN.
Leaders Inclined to Believe that
With Official Statement All
Will be Cleared.

Royal Arcanum members are still
discussing the question OF rates today.
That considerable interest has been
aroused is evident and the Arcanum-
ties are eagerly awaiting the issue of
the bulletin which is expected to have
the whole matter explained in detail.
While none of the local members
will admit that they thoroughly un-
derstand the new schedule the major
ity of them seem to think it is going
to drive all the old members out OF
the order
AS stated in Yesterdays NEWS
various schemes are advanced by
different members. While it is stated
by those in authority that no general
discussion took place on the floor dur
ing the session OF Middlesex council,
Tuesday night, the rates was the sole
topic of discussion among the mem
bers, themselves, and all kinds OF
opinions were advanced. just what
Lwill4 be done will -ha-deci cidsil-antil
the official statement is received. The
leaders in the order seem to think
that when all is understood, there will
be no difficulty and the storm will
blow over.
The following clipped from New
York evening paper gives some idea
of the Royal Arcanum situation as
seen there:
''If the representatives of all the
councils will meet the supreme regent
and his officers and prove to them
that they have made a mistake in this
new rate, will they reconsider their
decision?
This question was hurled at William
Mcconnell, grand representative OF
the Supreme Council, Royal Arcanum,
at meeting OF the Philadelphos
Council, No. 1862, last night.
81 refuse to answer that" said
Mr. Mcconnell, most deliberately.
"But | will say | don't, believe the
supreme council will back down from
its decision whether the order lives
or dies. Sentiment is no longer possi-
BILE in the Royal Arcanum; the order
lis now based on cold-biooded busines;
propositions, Just like any insurance
company.
Shouts of disapproval greeted this
reply, and fifty angry members rose
and left the meeting-room at Gates
and Nostrand avenues.
A committee Of five was appointed
early this morning to confer with the
councils of Greater New York.

0piniOnOf City Attorney Received
at Special Meeting Last
Night.
PUMP BIDS ILLEGAL.
Advertisements Must be in Local
Papers Ten Times Within
Two Weeks.

A special meeting of the water board
was held last night for the purpose ol
securing the opinion of the city at
tolney, G. G. Hommann, as to wheth-
err or not the board could purchase
anything costing over $500 without adj
vertising for bids.
The board, as told in the NEWS, ut
the last regular meeting opened bids
from number of concerns for two
Car loads of pipes and were about to
award the contract when Commission
er Jensen said he thought IT would be
a good idea to get the opinion OF the
city attorney in the matter.
Mr. Hommann sent communica-
tion to the board. in which he said
that under an act of April 81, 1886, it
was necessary for all local boards to
advertise in one or more publications.
When the letter was read the ques-
tion arose as to whether this meant
local or out-of-town publications. Mr..
Hommann was telephoned for and soon
appeared at the meeting. He read
the law, which was to the effect that
all advertisements for bids of over $500
must be in one or more local papers
for at least two weeks.
This will mean the throwing out of
the bids received a few weeks ago for
the new pump at Runyon, bids for
which the board advertised in two
trade papers outside the city.

THE SLEIGH RIDE

In its Christmas coat of snow
And the cutters down the roadway
Speed like arrows TO and fro,
Then 1t is a glimpse of heaven
Down the frosty Way to ride
Win q fancy pair of steppers
And your best girl at your side.
How you pity those who only
Have q chilly auto car
As you cut the biting breezes
Down the speedway flying far!
on your CHECKS midwinter roses
Itkei the garden beauties bloom.
And the pretty girl sits closer,
Just as though there weren't room.
Soon you leave behind the city,
Giving to your steppers rein
As they glide into the country
down some old romantic lane
Far from human ~habitation.
on INTO some ~fairyland,
And before you really know 1t
You are driving with hand.
And you do not are a cooky

Getting all your moneys worth.

Brings you that much nearer earth.
