to Sweden from the lumber camps of
Minnesota. blew out his brains with a
shotgun in a trapper's cabin near the
Sourland Mountains, ten miles from
here, at the hour of the ships sailing.
Ostman left Minnesota for New York

rides on freight trains in order to save

train on the Lehigh Valley Railroad he
was attacked by two negro tramps, who
robbed him of everything ave his
steamship ticket and his watch, which
were sewed up in the lining of his coat.
They then threw him from the train
near Neshanic station.
Badly hurt, Ostman made his way to
the station, where he was given food
and shelter by a fellow c~ountryman
named Gufstassen, who is a trapper.
Gufstassen left Ostman in the house
alone and went to the stable to care for
his horse. While he was gon the man

FIRE COMPANY
FALLS WITH
ROOF
One Killed and 20 Hurt in
$5OO,O0O Chicago
Hotel Blaze.

CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-One fireman is
supposed to have been killed, more
than a score of others were injured
and property valued at half a million
dollars was destroyed In a fire which
devastated the Mayer building, a
seven-story brick building, and the
Hotel Florence, at 16S-167 Adams street,
early today.
The fire broke out in the basement
of the Mayer building, and spread so
rapidly that when the first detachment
of firemen arrived the entire building
was in flames. A strong north wind
swept the flames to the adjacent hotel
building, and in a few minutes h a
structure also was a roaring urnace.
THE roofs of both structures collapsed
about an hour later, carrying down
with them an entire company of fire.

BOY VICTIM OF DOG
TORE FLESH FROM 7-YEAR-
OLD Y0UNGSTER.
Latter Was Wrestling with a Playmate
Who Was the Son of the
Owner of the Dog.

Minus a mouthful of flesh torn from
places on his left leg by a N~ewfound-
land dog which attacked him yesterday
afternoon, 7-year-old Peter Duebisky,
of 244 Chestnut street, was taken to st
James's Hospital and afterwards to his
home, where he is waiting until the
doctors can determine whether he shall
be sent to the Pasteur Institute. The
dog belonged to William Mum, of 192
New York avenue, where the Duebisky
boy was playing with a comrade when
the dog appeared.
The playmate was the son of Mr..
Mum. and the two were engaged in a
friendly wrestling match when the dog
bounded through the gate, knocked
young Duebisky over, and bit him sew
eral times on the left leg and thigh.
Presumably the dog thought the Due
bisky lad was attacking young Mum,
and IL went to the aid of the latter
The boys screams attracted the peo-
pie in the house, who ran to the rescue
and drove the animal away When
Duebisky's father heard of the matter
he sought the dog to kill ii, but 1t could
not be found. Duebisky said the dog
had attacked other people and was
vicious.
Mr.. Mum claims that the dog neve
bit anyone before and that the only
reason the Duebisky child suffered was
because the animal thought that Will
lam was being hurt.
The owner says that he intends tc
send the dog away to the country,
where it will be watched for evidences
of the rabies.

WEATHER A GREAT HELP
TO STREET Department.
Sun and Rain Helped to Drive Snow
Away, but Those Who Had Sleighs
ENJOYED Rides Yesterday.

Hopes held by those who thought they
were going to enjoy some good sleighing
were rudely dashed yesterday and last
night. Old Sol began getting in his work
yesterday, and the rain last night con-
tinued 1T. The sudden thaw which set in
made it apparent that the real thing in
the winter line was not here-not just yet,
but owners of sleighs generally had the
opportunity yesterday to enjoy the snow.
Last night when the rain began to fall
the most sanguine was obliged to admit
more snow and more freezing weather
would have to come along before outside
sports could be INDUCED in with n
satisfaction.
The sun and rain helped the street de-
partment to remove the snow.
Superintendent Shipman. of the Board Of
Works. did not lose n moment in prepar-
ing to remove the snow that threatened to
tie, and for a while did tie up the city.
He had his men out visiting the various
LOGGING houses hiring men to shovel snow.

TRUSTING IN GOD.
Needed, Says the Rev. DR.. Peach, to
Combat Organized Iniquity.

The Rev. Robert w. Peach, rector of
Emmanuel Reformed Episcopal Church,
preached an interesting sermon last night.
The text was taken from Ephesians,
chapter l., verse u: THAT we should be to
the praise of His glory, who first trusted
in Christ"
Mr.. Pea ch said the idea of trusting in
Christ might leave a hypothetical ques-
ton opel TO discussion by the critics of
the present day. Satan oftentimes ar
rayed himself in vestures Of mercy, kind
ness and light. and many people might
ask the question If it would be entirely
safe and advisable to trust implicitly in
Christ.
There is no reasonable argument that
can be advanced by such critics. he
said, ito Justify even the thought of such
n question. But to the seeker after truth
there is every justification to trust In
Christ.
1.-TWO prominent reasons stand out be
fore us, first, because in the language of
the text, God first trusted in Him, and
whom God trusts MAI may trust; second
ly, because Christ has never been known
to fail IN His trust, making Him, for this
reason alone, worthy of emulation.
Christ should be trusted for salvation.
for no a soul in the world knows the way
to neav.n except through Him, who Is
the door; trusted for pardon, for cleansing.
I'm the world a man who has sinned is
never clean in the eyes of the world, no
matter what his penance or restitution
may be. but to the Christian Christ is
working a continual cleansing, through
His spirit, even though unseen.
Man should trust Him for guidance and
for power, for power to successfully COM
bat organized iniquity In our city, State
and national government; to fight through
righteous avenues the legislation of pol
luted State politicians; power to be a
man, and to prove humanhood by ac-
knowledging trust in Christ, and rejecting
in his life the privileges upon which trust
In God is reared"

HURLEY'S POLITICAL
FOES HIS CREDITORS.
Late Trenton Boss Had Assets Of $3e,
$40 and Liabilities Of $45, 1000.
His Loyalty the Cause.

TRENTON, Jan. 27.-After nearly a
year, Colonel John II. Backes has filed
schedules In the estate of the late Col
onel Michael Hurley, for many years
Democratic boss here, showing that his
estate was insolvent, his assets amount
ing to $3S, $685. and the debts $4,000.
Among the creditors appear the
names of his political foes, leaders of
the Republican party in this county, as
well as many well-known men. The
colonel vas the pink of honor, but his
devotion to his party when that party
was poor from being long out of power
cost him his estate. None of his po-
litical creditors will ask of the widow
the liquidation of their claims, ever
partially.

COMMON LAW CASES
SHOULD Go TO JURY?
Atlantic City Lawyer Appeals from
Decision of Recorders Court in
DisorderlY House Trial.

ATLANTIC CITY, Jan. 27.-Claiming
that the State constitution prohibits
the hearing of common law cases ex-
cept before a jury. former Recorder
Charles C. Babcock has appealed from
the decision of Recorder Hayes, who
sentenced Mrs. Anna Rawlins for keep
ing of an alleged disorderly house.
The claim is made that in passing
judgment in the case the recorder has
overstepped his legal rights, and that
all cases of petty originality must be
sent before the grand jury for judg-
ment before trial and sentence can be
carried OUT. The case is the first OF
the kind Il New Jersey. and IL sue
cessful will practically knock out re-
corders' hearings except in cases of
drunkenness.

PREFERRED DEATH TO

Young New Yorker, Whose Mother Il
to Marry, Makes Desperate Effort
to Delay Wedding.

NEW YORK. Jan. FIJI simply
couldn't bear to have a stepfather in
the house. My mother insisted upon
it, so I thought the next best thing
for me to do was to end my life. 1

This explanation was offered by 10
seph Keane, 81 years Of age. of Ais
Degraw street, Brooklyn, whose mother
is to marry next Saturday, when ar
raigned before Magistrate Dooley,
charged with attempted suicide.
Magistrate Dooley didn't believe that

from taking a husband, and held
Koane in $1,000 bail to have his sanity
tested.

case, no record in the partnership books
of the receipt of the retainer fee, fol
instance, or some memorandum of ser
vices rendered or of the settlement OF
the case? Parke was Cathcart IS part
ner, his creditor and the man who took
him into his Office when Cathcart need
ed help. Didn It Cathcart's partner gel
share of the money that Cathcart
and Willie Crawford between them col
lected for the firm, or did the little
detail of turning in this money also
"escape" Cathcart's memory.
The public will await the details
promised by Cathcart, as soon as he
"could get them together" although
it is quite possible that by the time he
has got around to giving out very much
in the detail of the Goo Wan Hoy mat
ter the public viii be asking him for
other and more interesting details.
In Cathcart's statement, quoted in
full above, it will be seen that he denies
that Goo Wan Hoy was party to the
case in question, that of Palea and
Kaupe versus Meleana Davis.
Cathcart accepted and receipted for re-
tainer and court costs in this case from
Goo Wan Hoy; he wrote several letters
to Goo Wan Hoy concerning the case;
he finally paid to Goo Wan Hoy some
of the money he had collected in set
Element of the case, making the last
payment only few months ago. If
Goo Wan Hoy was not his client, why
did he pay him anything, why did he
give him a note, even although he
didn t pay the note except in part
and that after it was way overdue 2
Lastly, why did he want Goo Wan Hoy
not to tell the Advertiser anything
about it?
There is a good reason why the suit
against Cathcart & Parke was with
drawn and Cathcart let off with an
agreement to pay a part of what he
had Incorporated. The reason is
that Cathcart had already stuck Parke
for enough and in the event of the sue
cess of the suit, which was certain,
Parke would have had TO pay the full
Judgment, being solvent; while any
thing got out of Cathcart was that
much to the good. A judgment against
him was practically worthless, just as
it is now, but it was supposed at that
time that if given chance to pay he
might.

of the funds of my clients is false.
/ ''In the case in question Goo Wan
Hoy was not party, as appears from
his own statement-the plaintiffs being
an old man named Palea and his wife
Kaupe, the defendant being their
daughter Miliana Davis. The action
was to set aside deed given by plain.
tiffs to the defendant, on the ground
that it was without consideration. The
settlement was eonsummated after the
death of the plaintiffs in pursuance of
an agreement made before, and the con.
summation was only made possible by
Mr.. Castle living up to his word, as the
action had fallen by reason of the death
of plaintiffs. The settlement was known
to and advised by Alloy, and not cent
of money which was not lawfully due
me was retained by me.
"The very story as printed by the
Advertiser carries its own eontradie-
ton. Goo Wan Hoy says that Lorrin
Andrews advised that the matter was
embezzlement and that it be taken be-
fore the grand jury. If that were so,
Mr.. Andrews, when Attorney General,
would not have employed me many
times to represent his department and
would not have commissioned me Dep
uty Attorney General, as he did in a
number of instances. If L had en-
bezzled $500 belonging to Goo Wan
Hoy, Judge Humphreys would not have
settled the matter for $1s5, taking my
unsecured note.
"The Advertiser tries to make it ap-
pear that Hoy's statements are corrob-
GRATED by Mr.. Castle and by written
documents. This is not so. Mr.. Castle
can only speak as to the fact of the
settlement that was made, and Of this
settlement there is no question. There
are no documents which sustain or cor
roborate any of Goo Wan Hoy s charges
of embezzlement. That stands on his
unsupported word.

this Goo Wan Hoy is the same person
whom the late Judge Gear charged with
having sent to Mrs. Gear a most vile
and indecent picture and writing. be-
cause of a difference between Judge
Gear and Hoy over money matters.
