away from his friends and relatives,
Frank Jay Gould, youngest son of the
late jay Gould, is today completing

yacht, the Helenita, which will carry

is ~absenting himself that only
through the intervention of his broth
ers and sisters is it to be the sea and

TALK OF TERRA
GOTTA TRUST.

A representative from a terra Gotta
concern of San Francisco Is at work
in this city trying to obtain men to
go west. The terra Gotta concerns in
this city are rushed at present and
from the present outlook will be busy
until the first of the year. A short
time ago, an agent from a Philadel-
phia terra Gotta company visited this
city, and secured a number of local
men. Representatives of the terra
Gotta trust have also visited this city
frequently, and it was reported that
the local were to consoli-
date and enter the trust this month.
1t has now been reported by some of
the local men who are interested in
the concerns that none of the local
plans will enter the trust until after
January L.
cat that time" said a well known
local man, some of the terra Gotta
factories in this city are to enter the
trust"
when the consolidation is
made" added the terra Gotta man,
most of the old employees will be re-
tanned, although a few changes may
be made"

METUcHEN TO BE EGG
CENTER in THE EAST

METUCHEN, Oct. 9.-Metuchen is
soon to be a center in the egg bust
ness. William J.. Clark, who has the
contract to supply Washington Mar
ket and some of the big hotels with
eggs all the year around, has pur-
chased the J. H. Whitehead farm
and will start raising chickens there
on a gigantic scale. He conducts two
such farms in other parts of the coun-
try.
Mr.. Clark seems to have a persua-
sive way with chickens and induces
they to lay bountifully I've in the
dull season, when most other chick
ems are on strike and when the price
of eggs goes soaring to heights That
brings sadness to the boarding house
inmate. Mr.. Clark agrees to supply
eggs all the year around at a uniform
rate, and so has to get eggs and the
hens seem to understand his business
arrangement and give results accord
inely.
The Whitehead farm IS located Oh
the macadam road, about a mile this
side OF M~etuchen.

CAS- W AS
DISMISSED.

Ludwig Wolff, who made a charge
of assault against Harry Fingerote,
has dropped the case. Mr.. Wolff as
serts that some time ago he was hit
across the face by a horsewhip in
Fingerote's hands. The latter de.
MES the charge, and says that Wolf
kicked him in the face, and that he
used the whip in self-defense. The
trouble was caused over a sum of
money which Fingerote claimed
Wolff owed him.
Justice of the Peace Marcus Strick-
er was to have tried the case, last
night, but on account of Mr.. Wolff's
not appearing to press the charge, it
was dismissed.
Justice Stricken held the defendant
in the case of Ohlot VS.. Domhof un-
der 5000 bonds to keep the peace.
Domhof was charged with assault
and battery.

ALLEGED OYSTER THIEF
PLACED UNDER ARREST

'PLEASANTVILLE, Oct. 9.-In the
arrest and holding to bail yesterday
morning of John Hartwell on the
charge of stealing oysters, planters of
this section believe they will be able
to trace to the accused many thefts
which have annoyed them. For some
time wholesale houses have been
mysteriously robbed of their best
stocks and no clue to the robbers
could be obtained until last Saturday
night, when John M. Hilton's house
was looted of five large sacks of BIZ
valves.
Itilton's suspicious had been di-
rected to Hartwell, and, armed with
a warrant, Constable Yearicks found
Hartwell's ice house stored with
many oysters, many of which were
identified by shippers as their prop
erty. The accused man said he did
not know how they got into his ice
house, but the oystermen claim that
they have the right man.

ENORMOUS PROFITS
IN FIRE INSURANCE

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 9.-The re-
sort proved an easy mark for the fire
insurance Trust last year. The an
nual report of Chief William C. Black
of the fire department, presented to
the city council, last night, shows a
loss by fire of property valued at but
$11,272, while property owners paid
out in premiums owe 100000. A
system of still alarms, founded by
Chief Black, is responsible for the
quick suppression of blazes, resulting
in the splendid record.

RESCUE in The SURF.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Oct. o.
Probably the most remarkable rescue
from death in the ocean ever perform
ed in this city of rescues came when
a boy, James Irving, and his pony
combined to prevent Isadore Gold
smith, a demented Philadelphian, from
committing suicide. The boy was rid
ing a pony and saw Goldsmith rush
into the surf. He spurred his animal
into the water, and the pony swan out
to where Goldsmith was. Young Irwin
grasped the man by the collar and
dragged him ashore.

TRA|LED MAN
WITH LAMPS

Patrolman Long noticed a mar go
ing down Smith street at 2 O'Clock
this morning carrying two lanterns.
Thinking that the fellow acted sus-
piciously, the policeman followed
him to Front street, where he board
ed a tug boat at Schantz & Eckert's
dock. Patrolman Long, assisted by
Patrolman Whitworth, went aboard
the tug, and questioned the fellow,
who seemed dazed. He was taken to
the police station, where he gave his
name as Michael O'Brien. Further
than that he would not state, and was
placed in a cell for the night.
O'Brien was arraigned before Re-
corder Pickersgill this morning, and
pleaded that he was intoxicated. He
said he knew nothing about the
lamps, and if he had taken them it
was because he did not know what he
was doing.
The recorder was inclined to hold
him for the grand jury, but imposed
a SIS fine, which was paid by a friend,
who interceded for the prisoner.
The lamps, it is thought, were TAX
O. from a steam roller at Market and
Maple streets.

burg, a deckhand on the Pennsylva-

lost overheard yesterday while the
boat was on her way from West
Twenty-third street to Jersey City.
The ferry officials have a standing
rule that ~deckhands can wash win
dows from the outside standing on
the guard rails only while the boats
are in the slips. Bosburg was anX-
ious to get his work finished in a
hurry and ~disobeyed orders. He lost
his balance as the Pittsburg was in
midstream and fell overheard. The
passengers gave an alarm and the
boat was stopped. His body was not
recovered.
