ODOR FROM ACID SHOP
Residents of South End Find
 Conditions Disagreeable.

Residents of the south end claim to have q grievance which is likely to be brought to the attention of the department of health. They claim
 that the fumes from the acid shop in South Brooklyn. when the wind is blowing from that direction is almost uncndurable and that in many in- stances women and children have been made sick from tho smell. Two men who live in that district told Il representative of this paper that they think 1t Is time the people made q move in the matter. because they did mt see bow it could be put up with any longer The remedy they suggest is higher smoke stack. The concern has grown from a very small plant to very large concern. It is we'll managed and workmen speak of tho highest terms of how they are used there, consequently the concern is popular, but even so if the allegations mentioned herein be true, and there is no reason to question them. because they come from reliable sources, something will have to be done to abate the nuisance. But the strange thing about this complaint is that folks who live quite near tho plant claim that they are not troubled by it and never heard word of fault finding over 1t. This is said to De dae to the fact that the fumes are carried beyond the immediate neighborhooll of the plant, but come just right 10 strike residences on the hillsides.

He said the story of his troubles begins six years back, and his explanation for involving Miss Kempner in such serious pro ceedinEs as bigamy was that he could not help doing what he did because they loved each other. He said she knew all about him.

 Tremmel has prepossessing ap- pearance, and his age Is about 26. Prosecutor Meigs this moring stated that Tremmel had some time ago been arrested for non-support of his Wife and child in Hartford. That matter was settled up and the fam fly moved to Boston. Some weeks ago Tremmel moved back to Hart ford and renewed his acquaintance with Miss Henrietta Kempner, sis ter of David Kempner. of the law firm in Hartford of Bachrach & kempner.
 On March 3 Tremmel and Miss kempner, came to Waterbury and after obtaining a marriage applica- tlon blank from the town clerks office. located Justice of the Peace U. C. Church and induced him to marry them. ! heir haste to be married aroused the suspicious of the justice and it was only after some hesitation that he decided to tie the knot. They remained in town that evening and next morning left, presumably for Woonsocket
 Miss Kempner was at that time be- trothed to Moses Bernstein of New York and her father had, already given him her dowry in accordance with Jewish custom.
 After being locked up in the police Tremmel made great effort to bear up under the shock of arrest and the consequences of his illegal mar rage. He made statement that was intended to call for sympatby. lie said that he had been through a fot of trouble. but what the nature or It wasrhe did not care to say.

It advertised the city, gave it reputation that could not be oth- erwise than good and the tuition fees from the pupils helped to pay at least two teachers. He would not favor the idea of excluding anybody, provided they would pay. Furthermore he considered the city was under a nor al obligation to teach everybody. and particularly those 1t present attcnd- ing the school The matter was re ferred to the proper committee.
 Frank K. Graves. Ruby $. Clark and Grace C. White applied for posi- tions as teachers and the applications. were filed
