MARKENS GETS RULE
REMOVED INFERNO GOES TO
C0URT.A
Action Of County Hospitals Committee
of Board of Freeholders in Remov-
ing Him to Be Reviewed.

Without hearing argument Chief JUS
tice Gummere, in the Supreme Court
Circuit today, granted a rule to show
cause reviewing the action Of the COM
mittee on county hospitals of the Board
of Freeholders in h case Of DIR. Ed
ward w. Markers. The physician a
few days after his appointment as an
inferno in the Hospital for the Insane
in South Orange avenue, last March,
was removed after a sensational after
dinner episode in which he had taken
a prominent part was made public.
DR.. Markers was represented in court
by Courtlandt Parker, while the boards
interests were looked after by County
Counsel Elvin w. Crane. Mr..
Parker simply informed the cour
that Mr.. Crane had suggested
that the matter could be set
tied more expeditiously by granting
the rule formally. and that testimony
could be taken on the return day of the
rule. This was agreed to. While the
day was not fixed 1t will probably be
two or three weeks before the taking OF
the testimony viii begin.
1t was on March 20 last that, accord
ing to DR.. Markens's affidavit, his po-
sition was declared vacant without
charges having been preferred or served
on ~deponent, and without reasonable
notice or allowing him to appear by
counsel"
One Of the principal points on which
the physician places his reliance for re-
tention is that he is an honorably dis
charged veteran of the Spanish-Ameri
can War.

well as for the damage suffered as a re-
suit of the pillage. or of the repression OF
disorders, and that the indemnities should
be fixed by an international commission. ;
incidentally, this is Frances answer to
the demands of the German exporters az
Casablanca that France compensate them
for the losses they sustained during the
bombardment. The conclusions arrived al
are based on the precedent establishea5
after the bombardment of Alexandra by
the British fleet in 1882.
The Cabinet reqested Foreign MinisteE
Pichon to examine the general question OF
Morocco and to prepare a note on the sub

Wounded Himself.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-Failing in
an attempt to effect a reconciliation
with his wife with whom he had been
separated, Wellington B. Herbert, 2S
years old, last night fired five shots into
a crowded room where his wife was
seated. slightly woundipg her and her
sister, Mrs. George w. Nothey. Several
others in the room narrowly escaped
being struck. With one remaining cart
ridge in his pistol Herbert turned the
weapon upon himself and sent a bullet
into his left breast just below the heart.
He is not expected to live.
But for the presence of mind of Mrs.
Herbert she undoubtedly would have
been killed. Seeing the revolver pointed
at her she grasped n of her young
children and threw herself on the floor.
The shot missed her. She orawled
toward a door. and a second shot
passed over her head, striking Mrs.
Nothey in the arm. A third h o
grazed Mrs. Herbert's cheek.

by the several thousands of Hebrews Of
this city. At the postocffie this afternoon
II was said that only during the past three
years have the Hebrews began to observe
their New Year by sending post cards anu
other gifts through the maiis.
1t was also stated that the overcrowd-
ing has been nearly cleaned up. and when
the carriers went out on their first after
noon delivery they had nearly cleaned
up their desks, although in some instances
where the mails were extremely heavy
one morning delivery was omitted.
The midnight collection last night and
the 4 O'Clock collection this morning were
both unusually large. and complaint was
made by several collections carriers that
some candidates for office had mailed their
election letters in nail boxes instead Of
taking them to the postof1ce. filling sew
