AUTO HIT
LOCAL MAN.
John ReardOn, First Assistant
Foreman Of Mcclellan Engine
Company Hurled TO Curb.

First Assistant Foreman John d.
Reardon, of the Mcclellan Engine
Company, had narrow escape yes
terday, while attending the firemen' s
celebration at Railway. Mr.. Reardon
was standing in front of one of the
fire houses at Railway in the morn
ing before the parade, talking to his
fellow firemen. He naturally mingled
with the crowd that was in the street
in front of the fire mouse, and paid
little attention to the passing ve-
hicles.
Suddenly an automobile came
along at a rapid gait and, striking
Mr.. Reardon, hurled him to the curb
He was picked up by friends, and, be-
yond few bruises, was found to be
uninjured. Bystanders and some
fellow-firemen became very much ex-
cited over the accident and had not
the machine contained fireman, the
owner might have suffered rough
treatment from the angry spectators,
who were finally pacified when they
discovered that Mr.. Reardon would
be able to parade. He Is able to be
around today, although he says he
feels a trifle stiff.

NEW SCHOOL
INSTRUCTORS
ARE ENGAGED
Board of Education Appoints High
School Teacher and New
Drawing Instructor.
THE MATTER OF $500.

The finance committee of the
school board was empowered last
night, at the regular monthly meet
ing, to look up the matter of sum
of 5000 which has not yet been re-
ceived from the council. Prior to the
time when the $4,000 issue of school
bonds was sold by the city treasurer,
a resolution was passed by the board
of aldermen by which the board OF
education was, it is declared, to re-
ceive $4,000. Later the school COM
missioners received warrant for
$40, but not for the 5000.
President Walker said that the
school board had arranged to use the
money, and although it was probably
an oversight on the part of the coun-
Gil, the finance committee is to ipves-
tigate the matter at once.
Teachers Appointed.
William w. Ramsay who is now a
professor in the Roselle high school,
was appointed to succeed Prof. C. A.
Morris, who, as told in the News, last
week, was appointed superintendent
of schools in Ocean county Mr.
Ramsay's salary is to be $500 year
Mr.. Morris resignationswas receiv-
ed and accepted, as was that of Miss
Jane Hayes, who is teacher In
school No. Z. The resignation oi
Miss Hayes is to take effect Novem-
ber 2.
Miss Caroline Kimbal, of Romeo
Michigan, was appointed drawing in.
structor at salary of 5000 a year in
the absence of Miss Hilda Newhoff
who on account of sickness has been
unable to resume her duties here.
A number of bills were ordered
paid, among them being warrant to
Charles F. Moore. for stationery sup
plies.
All the members were present, and
after short discussion the meeting
was adjourned.

MAKE SCHOOL
INSPECTIONS.
Or. NJ. S. Meinzer Begins New
Duties To Guard Health of
School Pupils.

Superintendent Shull, at the regu-
lar monthly meeting of the Board of
Education last night. made report
in regard to the examinations now
being made by Medical Inspector
Meinzer
DR.. M. S. Meinzer, who was appoin-
ted by the board of health at their
last meeting, gave short talk to the
teachers last week, and explained to
them how to detect a sick or un-
healthy child.
Inspector Meinzer decided to start
at once, and on Monday examined
the pupils of the high school and No
1. Schools Nos. and were in
spected yesterday, and the inspector
expects to visit schools Nos. and 2
today. DR.. Meinzer found only two
cases of contagious diseases, but dis
covered many with enlarged tonsils,
defective hearing and eyesight, and
a few cases of adenoids.
"The work is much harder than /
expected" says DR.. Meinzer, who will
probably be engaged at the present
inspection until Friday. The doctor
expected to complete the first inspec-
tion yesterday, but on account of SO
many cases, was unable to do so.
The present system is as follows:
When teacher notices that child
appears dull. or shows the slightest
symptoms of illness, he or she is sent
to a room, and the inspector is noti-
ned at once. On the regular inspec-
ton day, which will be once a month,
when the medical inspector calls, he
is handed list by the teacher, which
contains the names of all ailing schol-
ars. These are then examined by the
inspector, who goes through the
rooms ,afterward, and makes per-
sonal examination.

ROOSEVELT, Oct. 10.-One of the
most daring holdups ever recorded
in the history of the borough occur
red Monday night on Woodbridge
avenue, near c street, one of the
most public places here. The vic
tim is Joseph Eckstein. He was
bound and gagged and struck on the
head with blackjack. His assail-
ants ripped open his trousers pockets
with knife and stole seventy-five
dollars in bills. Eckstein is since
confined to his home on c street, and
is in a serious condition. His physi-
clan fears that concussion of the
brain will develop from the blow he
received.
The holdup occurred at III o'clock
Eckstein was going to his home. AS
he was about to turn the corner of
Woodbridge avenue, two men emerg-
ed from clump of trees. They ac-
costed him directly and with no war;
ming whatever struck him. One of
them grabbed him by the throat while
the others began to go through his
pockets.

pital, testified yesterday that the girl
was in no condition Immediately after
the accident to make a statement.
Dr. Wilson's testimony disagrees
with this.
Wolff Scheinman, a brother of
Isaac Scheinman, was another wit
ness called this morning and he was
still on the stand at noon. He said
he was in immediate charge of the
factory at the time of the accident.
He admitted having employed the
girl, but said she had given her age
as fourteen when she applied for
work. Now she says she is only
twelve years old. Witness said the
girl was never required to work
overtime.
The case will doubtless occupy the
rest of the day. Isaac Scheinman, 1t
is expected will be called this after
noon.

taken it was given by Miss Emma
Dudley, a trained nurse from the Long
Branch Memorial hospital.
The young woman's statement fol
lowed q dramatic scene in the court
room when DR.. Brouwer coolly eX-
amined phial containing particles of
glass which DR.. Frederick A. Genth,
an analytical chemist, alleged had been
found in the viscera of Mrs. Brouwer.
A portion of DR.. Genth's testimony
was looked upon by the friends of the
prisoner as distinctly favorable to him.
In testifying about the jars in which
the organs were placed he admitted
that particles of glass found by him
on the outside of the stomach had I'M
doubtedly been broken off the jar in
putting on or taking off the cover.
When Miss Dudley took the stand
the prosecution brought out evidence
on which it hopes to convict the accus-
ed physician. The young woman was
submitted to a rigid examination by
Theodore J. r. Brown, public prosecu-
tor, and afterward underwent the Or
deal of long cross examination.
Miss Dudley said she went to the
Brouwer residence on Sept. IA. 1905,
to attend Mrs. Brouwer. She said the
physician told her on her arrival that
his wife was suffering from cholera
mOrbuS.
"Did you continue to give Mrs Brou-
wer the medicine prescribed by him?'
mo; only pretended to-"
'Did DR.. Brouwer give her hypo-
dermic iniections?"
"He gave me fluid to inject"
"And did you use itT'
"No; threw it away and gave her
my own preparation"
''What did that do?"
at brought her back to conscious
ness"
Miss Dudley said further that on
Sept. 49,, 1905, six days before her
death, Mrs. Brouwer was seized with
several commissions. When DR.. Brou-
wer learned of her condition, she as
serted. he went to her bedside and ad-
ministered hypodermic injection of
morphine and on leaving the room
called the witness into the hallway.
"Dr. Brouwer," she testified, "said
to me that it was hard for him to be
left alone with two boys. DO all you
can for her. he said, referring to his
wife. Give her all the morphine she
wants. Give it to her every twenty
minutes. l would rather see her die
under an opiate than to be in the con-
dition she is now"
Miss Dudley said she gave up her po-
sition because she believed Mrs. Brou-
wer was not being treated properly
and was not present when the end
came several days later.

could. When the holdup men saw
that the victim meant to put up
fight one of them struck him on the
head with blackjack. He fell to the
ground unconscious. He was found
by passerby about fifteen minutes
after the holdup occurred.
Eckstein, when he became con-
scious, was surprised to find that
his assailants hadn't taken time to
rifle his pockets, after they dealt the
knockout blow, but ripped his trou-
sers with penknife.
Eckstein was taken to his home.
He was in a delirious condition all
day yesterday. 1t is the theory of
the police authorities that the men
who held up Eckstein knew that he
had su mof money in his trousers
and laid in wait for him. 1t is said
also that Eckstein displayed a roll
of bills in saloon on. Woodbridge
avenue, early in the evening, and the
men answering to the description of
the men given the police by Eckstein
were said to have been seen in the
saloon at the time.

AMBOYANS PROMINENT
Washingtons and MCCIe|Ians Made
Splendid Appearance at Railway
Elizabeth Parade Tomorrow.
LINKS AND EAGLES TO GO

Although it rained yesterday after
noon, it did not interfere with the
firemen's parade at Railway. The
procession had completed it's line of
march, and the laddies were enjoying
feast when the first few drops fell.
The Washington Hose & Chemical
Company, from this city, left here AZ
1880 O'Clock yesterday morning, and
went on special tralley cars to Rah-
way, where they were met by the
reception committee, composed of the
chief and assistants of the Railway
fire department The McClellans left
earlier than the Washingtons and ar
rived at Railway at about IL o'clock.
Both companies apparatus had been
driven to Railway previously.
The parade started at l o'clock,
and hardly a company in line looked
neater than the two bodies of local
laddies, who were attired in natty
uniforms and presented fine appear
ance. The Washingtons led the out
of-town companies, which was an
honor that will long be remembered
by the local company. Chief Thomas
Baker and Second Assistant Chief
George E. Mead led the Washing
tons, followed by a number of this
city's veteran ex-chiefs.
Back of the eX-chiefs was well
known New York band, and behind
the band came the Washington Fife
and Drum Corps, the chemical wagon
and the laddies.
The McClellans also presented a
fine appearance, and although they
were sixth in line, the fifty laddies
and their steamer, which had been
decorated for the occasion, excited
much admiration. They were accom-
panied by Bollschweiler's band.
After the parade there were no
tests on account of the rain. One of
the firemen said this morning that
they were treated royalty, and the
banquet, which was served after the
parade, was second to none.
Although some prizes were award
I ed, none of them were captured by
the local firemen.
Hundreds of local people attended
| the parade yesterday, and all the
cars from Railway last night were
crowded with returning firemen and
spectators.
The judges decided that the COM
petition for the loving cup for the
best appearing company was draw,
and the prize will not be awarded at
this time.

Or. Genth TestifieS in Toms Riv-
er Murder Trial Glass and
Arsenic.
NURSES TESTIM ON Y.

TOMS RIVER, N. j., Oct. 10.-Glass
slIvers and arsenic were found in the
stomach of Mrs. Frank Brouwer. ac-
cording to the chemist who analyzed
them. The bits of glass were brought
to court when the taking of testimony
in the case of DR.. Frank Brouwer.
charged with the murder of his wife,
was begun. Several pieces were found
inside the intestines, thus upsetting the
theory urged by the defense that they
came from the jar in which the por-
tions Of the body were sent to the
chemist
DR.. Cattell, who made the autopsy,
at first declared the woman had died
of arsenical poisoning, but later adj
mitted she might have been poisoned
by ptomaines.
Testimony that Brouwer put some
thing in a glass Of milk which threw
his wife into convulslons after she had
