N.Y.! BUT SHE WAS MAD!
WRONG GIRL GOT KISSES.
Horrors! Letters Tender Secrets Into
Another's Hands! Angry Mother
Figures, Too.

A few days since, a young woman re-
siding at - Mt. Prospect avenue received
a letter filed with endearing terms and
weighted with kisses. The writer was sur
prised and panied to learn that the young
woman had been Ill, and the way he ex-
pressed his sympathy did him proud. Be
cause she had bee Ill the young gallant,
who, by the way, is a Newarker touring
the far West, enclosed a crisp government
certificate, which he hoped the young lady
would accept in the spirit it was sent.
Mamma stood leaning over her shoulder
as she read the letter, and CONSERVATION
was imprinted on her face as she perused
the contents. She upbraided her daughter
for receiving such an epistle from a male
friend and asked her how long this thing
had been going on. 1t took the daughter
some time to assure her parent that she
knew nothing about the letter and that she
was not acquainted with the writer.
The young woman took the letter to the
postofice and turned it over TO Postmaster
James l.. Hays. The address was deficient.
in that It was simply addressed to No. -
Mt. -- avenue, and the carrier was
uncertain whether Mt. Prospect or Mt.
Pleasant avenue was the intended desti-
nation of the letter. The strange coinci-
dence is that there are two young women
of the same name residing at the same
number on both streets.
The letter was finally placed in the
hands of the proper person, who, in turn,
informed the postal authorities that she
did not wish her letters. and particularly
her love letters, sent about the city and
read by every Tom, Dick and Harry"
She was highly Indignant, and Il took some
time to assure her that the writer of this
particular letter was to blame for the mis-
carrying of the epistleS

why, the wardens even sent in
bills for tips amounting to $50 q
month. I had supposed tips were
some kind of fish, but Developments
proved that tips meant 81 for a con-
ductor on a train and so cents for a
waiter, and the like.
THAT is only one sample" said the
speaker, "but recently, when a friend
asked me to define graft, l told him to
read over the testimony taken by the
committee and if that weren't graft
well, 1 do not know what graft was"
At the conclusion of Mr.. Hahn's
speech DR.. Charles r. Kraemer, Demo-
cratic candidate for county clerk, took
UP the speaking task. DR.. Kraemer
was cheered enthusiastically. The
speaker defied denial or contradiction
for his statement that unde every
Democratic administration the tax
rate had been lower than with the Re-
publicans in power. He cited the pres
ent rate of 1859 in the face of the Re-
publican rate of LA for last year.
ITO my mind,' said DIR. Kraemer,
"it is not a question Of winning in
this campaign, but a question of roll
ing up a big majority to teach grafters
that they are to be swept from the
remotest corner where they now hold
office"
At this point DIR. Kraemer saw

FISTS AGREED
WEAPONS
STABBED
Quarrel Over Trifle and
Agree to Fight it Out.
Knife Drawn.

A quarrel in the new Edison plant,
Seventeenth avenue and Boyd streets,
yesterday led to William Kopia, IL
years old, of 321 Camden street, an m
ployee, being stabbed in the back four
times, shortly after 6 o'clock last night,
by a fellow workman. The most Sc
rious of the several wounds is one I'M
der the left shoulder blade, which is
several inches long and at least an inch
deep.
Following the fight the principals all
disappeared, including Kopia- He went
to a place. on the Hill section to take a
bath and the proprietor noticed that
his clothes were spattered with blood
and he notified Police Captain Vogel.
| The latter sent Plainsclothesmen Kaas
and Sebold to investigate, and in the
meantime Policeman Miller, of the
Third Precinct station, who happened
to be off duty, met Kopia and com
m%unicated with Captain oVgel. The
latter sent the ambulance to have the
wounded youth removed to the City
Hospital. The cuts were attended to
by the physician in charge, and when
he discovered hat none appeared Sc
rious he allowed Kopia to be AXE to
the police station.
There, d pressure, the Vlctim gave
the name of his assailant and the
reason for the quarrel. He was hen
taken to his home.
1t developed that James A. Smith,
21 years old, who boards at S27 Hamil-
ton street, Harrison, but whose home is
in Brooklyn, asked Kopia to loan him
a saw yesterday morning and Kopia re-
fused. An argument followed and both
agreed to settle it at noontime. When
the department left the place to lunch
Smith and Kopia met and the former,
according to the witness, more than
met his match, and for the time being
the affair ended.
When the principals went back to
work william Bersey. 10 years old, who
also lives at the Harrison address, took
sides with Smith, and a fistic encounter
which was scheduled to take place
after working hours was settled on. As
a result the trio mixed 1t UP" q Sec

ond time on the lot at Seventeenth ave-
nue. and Lille street, adjoining the
plant, and when Kopia was besting his
rival, it is alleged Smith drew his knife
and stabbed Kopia four times.
Although the scene is but two blocks
from the police station nothing was
known of the fight until after it was
over. Kaas and Sebold kept at work
on the case the greater part of the
night, and this morning when Smith
and Bersey reported to go to work they
were placed under arrest. Other ar
rests of witnesses may follow.
When Bersey was taken into custody
it was discovered that his right hand
was badly cut. Neither prisoner was
arraigned today as no formal com
plant has been made against them.

WANT AWARDS
O TRACK
ELEVATION
Hamilton Street Property
Owners Win Partial Yer.
dict in P. R. R. Matter.

Judge Adams in the Circuit Courtto-
day. upon application of Joseph a.
Beecher, allowed a rule to take testi-
mony in the matter of the property
owners who think that they ought TO
receive an award of damages because
of the Pennsylvania track elevation
and the closing up of Hamilton street
by the railroad.
Some of the pro-perty-owners in chat
n~eighborhood have received their
awards by the commissioners appointed
for the purpose, but Mr.. Beecher repre-
scented fifteen who think that they, too,
were entitled to awards.
Those seeking compensation are A.
E. Stoutenburg, Meyer Benisch, the es-
tate of Simon Wright, Carl Breidig &
Son, August Buerman, Essie II. Ray,
Homer r. Wilmington, William Hill,
George A. Smith and Blanchard
Brothers & Lane.
Mr.. Beecher first asked that a rule
to show cause why the report of the
commissioners, as far as his cakRnts
are concerned, should not be set as1de
and new commissioners appointed Tho
court said that this could not be done
and allowed only the rule to take testi-
mony. 1t was made returnable on the
first day of the December term.
In his argument Mr.. BeeeheF held
that all the commissioners did was to
set aside 5000 for awards, and that
in doing so had clearly neglected their
duties" as his clients had noAbeen cen-
sidered, although they had suffered
serious damage.
In dfsposing of the question of the
appointment of new commissioners the
court said that it had no power in this
direction. as it was the duty Of the
Mayor and Common Council to do so
under the act of 1892.
Mr.. Beecher was opposed by city At
torney Francis Child, jr, and Malcolm
MacLear. as the representative Of the
railroad.

century that a woman found guilty of
some trifling offense was sentenced to
death. By chance the warrant for her
execution was not sent to the high
sheriff, and she remained in prison
for about three years. acting as a Jail
washerwoman and occasionally, as a
favor in acknowledgment of. her good
behavior, going out, as was then the
custom, as washerwoman to private
houses. But a clerk looking through
the home Office records found the war
rant that had never been dispatched,
and it was thereupon promptly for
warded to the sheriff for due process.
