what have you found about this Mon
sieur Chabot?"
He is an adyenturer, one of the de-
cayed gentleman class; belongs to a cou-
pie of clubs; has the entree into some
very good and also some very question
able society. He has become affiliated
with the vicomte and his set only within
the last year or two. They are in several
making some money"
And the vicomte, you say, Is an able
fnancier?"
Very. should say. He foated the
City and Suburban Messenger Company,
and was shrewd enough to withdraw be-
fore it went under. He is, as I told you,
president Of the Mutual Credit Com
pany, and large operator on the Bourse.
He appears to have been very successful.
His wife, the vicomtesse, has doubtless
been powerful factor in the making of
his fortunes. All, but she is charming.
You should see her. 1t was her inhu
ence, doubtless, which secured the CO.
operation of Monsieur Colbert Remplin,
the banker of Rue Hartmann. in that
deal. He was naughty old fellow and
never would have entertained the bust
ness proposition of de Valiar if it hadn't
been for the vicomtesse. She sat next
to him at dinner. The next day the
prospectus of the Montainbleau Charcoal
Company was issued, and the name of
Colbert-Remplin was on the board of di
rectors."

Told me? Why, was there myself.

POSTMASTER ADDS TEN
CARRIERS TO FORCE.
City Now Has 217-New Men Picked
from List of Substitutes
by Hays.

Ten additional letter carriers have
been appointed for Newark by the
Postmaster General. Postmaster James
L. Hays has been given authority from
Washington to appoint them. This
gives Newark 217 regularly appointed
carriers.
The new appointees' names are taken
from the head of the substitute car
riers' list, which included some forty
names. For several years past a num-
ber of substitute carriers have been
regularly employed at the postoffice,
and the appointment of the ten men
in no way increases the working force
at the postoffice, as between forty and
fifty substitute carriers have been
regularly employed for several months.
The order, however, gives the post
master the right to transfer several
names from the eligible list to substi-
tute list. 1t is, however, understood
that the eligible list was long since
exhausted.
An examination for carriers in the
Newark office will be held in a short
time.

DR.. James Henry Lowrey, of the
Fifth Ward, was chosen yesterday by
the committee on vacancies of the Re-
publican county convention to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation Of
DIR. Don A. Epler, who gave as the
reasons for his resignation that he
would not neglect his practise.
Arthur r. Denman, president of the
Board of Works, and George b. Cole,
both of this city. and Thomas B. Al
worth. of Montclair, the members of
the committee on vacancies. met yes
terday afternoon and accepted the
resignation of DIR. Epler and named DR..
Lowrey for the place. There were a
number of others considered earlier in
the day at a conference of the party
leaders, but all were dropped with little
opposition and the present candidate
settled on unanimously.
Among those mentioned was a Tenth
Ward man. but it was thought advisable
to name a man from the same ward as
DIR. Epler.
| DIR. Lowrey was born in the Fifth Ward
| twenty seven years ago and received his
early education at the Lafayette Street
Public School. later attending high school
and receiving his medical education In the

HIS REAL WIFE
REVEALS
HERSELF
Girl Whose Identity Puzzled
Chicago Justice Proven to
Be What She Claimed.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1S.-The real Mrs.
Klimovicz has been found. There is no
longer any question as to the identity
of Miss Tilly Tolan, the Chicago girl
who was claimed a few days ago in
Judge Cleland's court by John Kim
ovicz as his wife and identified by Mrs
Mary Zimatis, of Grand Rapids, Mich,
as her daughter.
Klimovicz had been arrested on a
charge of disorderly conduct, the war
rant being secured by Miss Tolan, who
said KIimovicz had been annoying her
by claiming her as his wife.
During the time the case was In
court, the matter of identity being in.
cidental, the real Mrs. Kllmovicz wa:
living under an assumed name neal
Elgin, Ill. The denouement was due
primarily to pique over sighting re-
mark made in the court room by Miss
Tolan.
81 wish they'd just find me one of
her old shoes to try on" the girl who
was mistaken for Mrs. Klimovicz said.
"That would settle my identity. I'll
wager / can put both of my feet in
one of her shoes"
"I would like to see her." exclaimed
Mrs. I<limovicz when she heard the
remark.
Thereupon she came to Chicago with
the intention of furnishing to the court
full proof Of her identity. Upon her
arrival here, however. she learned that
the charge against Klimovicz had been
dismissed by Judge Cleland, who ac-
knowledged that he was unable to un-
ravel the mystery. Mrs. Klimovicz re-
turned to Elgin. She said she had
been afraid to make herself known
to her husband because of fear Of per-
sonaI violence. She expressed an in
tention of forcing him to get a divorce
and free her.
"If ne does not" said she, II will
apply for a divorce myself on the
ground of cruelty"

APART MENTS
WRECKED BY
BOMB
Work Of "BIack Hand" Men
, Who Demanded Money
From Italian.

NEW YORK. Sept. 1S.-Following a
"Black Hand" demand for $500, of which
no notice was taken, an attempt was made
to murder Antonio Spinelli, an Italian
grocer, in his home, on the third floor Of
1876 East Thirteenth street. early today,
when a bomb was exploded on the fourth
floor. The explosion wrecked the apart
ments on the floor and sent the twenty
four families in the tenement rushing to
the street in a panic. The excitement was
so great that the whole nelghborhood was
aroused and the police reserves were sent
for.
That nobody was hurt was considered
wonderful by the police, as the bomb blew
outall the windows ON the floor and shat
tered three doors. The wreckefs had evil
IDENTIFY mistaken the location Of Spinellis
apartment, as he lived on the floor below
On September 8 Spinelli received a
BLACK Hand letter telling him to take
$500 to a designated place in the Bronx or
he would ne killed. The man turned the
letter over to the police and did not worry
over the threat.

AGAINST ARBITRATION.
King Leopold's influence Exerted in
Opposition Because of Congo.

THE HAGUE, Sept. 1S.-The decision of
the Belgian Government to oppose obliga-
tory arbitration is attributed TO the COM
mand of King Leopold. who is fearful
that his claims in the Congo might be
affected in the event of the adoption of
the proposal. The King, 1t IS added, has
been unable 20 induce M. Beernaert, heal
Of the Belgian delegation, to vote against
his lifelong convictions and Is said to
have conceived the plan Of leaving the
representation OF Belgium on this subject
solely in the hands OF the other Belgian
delegates. Baron Guillaume and M. Van
Den Heuvel. both of whom are against
compulsory arbitration.
The Kings action in this connection is
regarded here as being in the nature OF

LONG LIST
OF ROBBERIES
TO THIS MAN
Police Get Supposed Member
Of Gang Blamed for Giving
False Clues After TheftS.

In the arrest today in New York
city of Samuel Natter, charged with
the larceny of cloth valued at $106
from the Central Railroad the local po-
lice believe that they have a prisoner
whose capture will clear up at least
a hundred robberies in this city during
the last year. Natter disappeared last
March. At that time he was stopping
at the Gregory Hotel, on the Plank
road. and on the night of his disap-
pearance much jewelry and other val
uables went with him, 1t is said. Since
then Samuel has been in the seclusion
of the Great White Way.
Today Detective Sergeant Joseph
Farrell, of the detective bureau, got
Natter in New York city. Farrell says
it is an important capture and one
that will lead to the arrest and con-
victfon of many more men who were
engaged in the same line of work, and
many of whom were partners in the
game with Natter.
Farrell says that there are a few ex-
press drivers who will not be glad to
hear of SamuePs arrest. Some of the
drivers had it all fixed up with Samuel,
according to the police, to have him
rob them of something or other. They
would then give him ample opportunity
to get over to New York and dispose
of the goods before reporting the rob-
berry. and upon Samuers return would
come in for their share of the proceeds.
Invariably, they would furnish the
police with a description of the man
that might fit some resident of Mars.
but the shoe was always several sizes
too large for Sammy. He is now being
held in New York city awaiting extra
dition papers.
Some time ago a man named John
Seeney was indicted by the Grand Jury
for being interested in the robbery of
$106 worth of cloth from the Central
Railroad. He was a driver employed
by John Henry, local expressman.

HOW GREGORY GOT 2
INTO CONVENTION

Many persons wonder how Julian A.
Gregory, who opposed Senator Everett
Colby two years ago for election. became
u delegate to the Democratic State con-
vention yesterday.
Mr. Gregory broke the Essex delega-
TONS caucus rule by voting for James e.
MARITIME after Mayor Jacob Haussling, as
chairman OF the Essex delegates, an
nounced 1856 votes for Frank 5. katzen-
bach.
The East Orange man arose to q point
OF personal privilege. stating that he was
bound by no caucus rule as he had not
attended one nor had he been consulted at
all in the matter. He caused q sensation
Secretary William K. Devereaux an
nounced one vote for MARITIME. but CITY
Counsel James r. Nugent made the un-
disputed point that Mr.. Gregory was en-
titled to but half vote.
on the half vote hinges the reason OF
Mr.. Gregory's presence at Trenton. In the
second district of the Third Ward of East
Orange. Dennis J. Creecon was the nomi-
nees for the State convention. Mr.. Gre
gory's name, however. was written on four
ballots making four votes for him. This
eoualed Creedon's vote. City Clerk Rowley,
Of East Orange. therefore decided TO give
both men credentials, emitting each to one
half vote.
