WIFE
Then HUNG
HIM SELF

/ NEW YORK, Aug. 7:-Victor
Linde, bricklayer, who shot at his
wife four times on the roof of the
tenement at 207 East Goth street last
night, inflicting two painful flesh
wounds, was found hanging in the
cellar of EOS East 96th street at
o'clock this morning. He was nearly
cad when cut down and expired short
ly after his arrival at Harlem hos
pital.
Although Mrs. Linde's wounds
were not serious, her husband evil
IDENTIFY thought he had killed her and
after making his escape he returned
to the scene of the shooting and pre-
pared to take his own life.
Morris Gid, who lives in the house
at 205 East 96th street, went down
to the cellar at o'clock to get some
wood and saw Linde's body hanging
from a door, He had used a leather
belt as the moose and while nearly
strangled to death he was still alive
when Gid cut him down and called
for help.
Previous to using the belt he had
taken the shoe laces out of his shoes
and attempted to hang himself, but
the laces had broken with his weight.
The shooting and suicide resulted
from the refusal of Mrs. Linde to live
with her husband, who was said to be
very jealous of her.

WOODBRIDGE
ASSESSED Low

DR.. Frank Crowther, a member of
the County Board of Equalization of
Taxes, said this morning that he
could not say positively that the tax
rate would be as low as 50 this year,
as reported, but he said, however,
that the rate may be very close to
the 81 point.
At the meeting of the board and
assessors held in New Brunswick yes
terday, as told in the NEWS, the
members of the board suggested to
the assessors the rates on bank stock,
railroad siding, telegraph and trolley
wires, conduits, etc. These. have not
yet been assessed, so that the assess
ors books are still incomplete. They
will be given two weeks more in
which to finish their work.
Dr. Crowther says, that the assess
ment in Woodbridge was found to be
very low in comparison with those
in the rest of the county. Wood
bridge is the only township in whlch
| the valuations are not higher thah
they were last year. Some increase
will probably be made in the WOOD

POLITICS IN
FOURTH WARD
Both Parties Beginning to Talk
Of Candidates for AIdermaniC
Nomination This Fall.
MENTION ANDERSON AND SMITH,

Although the weather is warm and
political talk is confined to a few poll
ticians as yet, the people of the fourth
ward. who have been without rep
resentative in the Board of Aldermen
for several months, are beginning to
look about for suitable timber.
Some OF the people in the fourth
do not like it much that they have
been left out of all local legislation
lately and are talking of revenge. Just
how they will get it is not explained,
but there are those who declare that
the next alderman from the fourth
ward must take pledge. This
pledge, according to some of the
fourth warders, will first of all tie
the representative down to >legisla-
tion favorable to that section. He
will also be expected to remedy some
of what are called the existing evils
in the city government and if he can
not remedy, to expose them. In fact,
if some of the fourth warders have
their way, a model alderman is to
come from that bailiwick this fall
The one necessity is, he must be a
property owner sthere.
Just who this ideal official shall be
is not yet certain. In fact, as the
fourth ward is always an uncertain
quantity at an election, the exact man
will not be known until the votes are
counted, but the nominees will soon
be in the open.
Smith and Anderson.
At present the democrats are talk
ing 'of Otto Smith, saloonkeeper at
296 Smith street. On the republican
side John Anderson is the leading
candidate Mr.. Anderson is not new
in politics, having held several Of
fees. He is also one of the hospital
governors. John l.. Mundy is men.
toned by some of the more independ-
ent republicans who would like tc
give him chance to see what he can
do.
There is time yet for other candi-
dates to develop and as the weather
cools off the leaders will get busy.
A school commissioner is also tt
be chosen. 1t is probable that the re-
publicans will re-nominate the pres
entsincumbent, George Moore.
In Second and Sixth Wards.
Aldermen and school commission
ers are also to be elected in the sec
ond and sixth wards, together with
Ian alderman-atlarge 1t is prac
tically assured that the republicans
will re-nominate William r. Stacey
in the second, and Stephen Schultz in
the sixth, while John Pfeiffer will
doubtless again be a candidate fol-
alderman-at-large on the republican
ticket. Against the latter the demo.
Gratis will probably nominate Ber-
nard M. Cannon.

The list of rObberies which have Oc-
Cured in this city recently was swell
led last night when two more places
were entered and goods and money
to the extent of about $50 taken.
The first place entered was MAIDS
'Madson's bicycle shop at A New
Brunswick avenue. About $40
O'Clock last night Mr.. Madison was sit
ting in front of his store, where he
had been for nearly half an hour. He
had occasion to go to a room in the
rear and upon arriving there found
several pieces of furniture upset, his
bureau drawers open and the place
otherwise out of order He made an
investigation and found that pock-
et-book containing $24 in bills and
81 in silver had disappeared from his
bureau. He found the pocket-book in
an adjoining yard, but all the money
had been taken from 1t. The thieves
climbed fence eight feet high back
of the store and entered by means of
the rear door, which was left un-
locked.
Mr. Madsen has a clue which he
thinks may lead to the arrest of the
thieves. About 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, five young men between
the ages of fifteen and eighteen came
into his store and asked the price of
tires. While two of the fellows de-
tained him in conversation, the 9TH
ers walked toward the rear of the
store and looked into the back room
as II much interested. Mr.. Madsen said
that he suspected the fellows at the
time and looked them over carefully
SO that he would know them at an
other time. He says that II any of
them were brought before him he
could identify them. One of the 50
bills stolen was torn in two pieces
and pinned together. With these
clues to guide them the police are
working on the case and expect to
have the guilty parties in custody
soon.
Saloon Is Robbed.
About l o'clock this morning
thieves entered the. saloon of Joseph
Blaka, at Penn street and Hall ave-
nue.. They gained entrance to the
place by a rear window. After steal
ing 81 from the money drawer they
took six bottles of whiskey, some ci-
gars and cigarettes. The matter was
reported to the police and an investi-
cation is being made.
Chief Says He Needs More Men.
Chief Burke said this morning that
there is undoubtedly gang of sneak
thieves at work in this city and he is
making every effort to put a stop to
their work. He says he is greatly
handicapped, however, by the small
number of policemen on the local
force.

AGREES TO PAY FINE
ON INSTALLMENT PLAN
Convicted Man, Who Fled from City
to Escape Punishment, to Re-
turn and Pay Off
Debt

Rather than remain away from his
family any longer Duncan Cassidy, con-
victed September "a of cruelty to ami
mails, has decided to pay his fine of $50
and come back to the city. Cassidy and
Reuben Higgins were convicted and fined
at the same time Tor the same offense.
Both offenders were given until noon
the following day to produce the amount
CT the fine. Neither of them showed up
with the money and both have been in
hiding ever since. Constable Cleveland
has been on the lookout for them.
Cassidy could not stand the strain any
lorger and sent word to Judge H. A.
Pierce yesterday that he wanted to set
tie his fine but would have to do 1t on
the instatllment PLAN The judge agreed
to an arrangement by which the convict
ed man paid $40 cash and will pay an
equal amount each month until the debt
is settled.
Higgins has not shown up. He has no
family and it Is thought he has moved
to some neighboring town rather than
nay the fine.
