W|GWAM BROOK
MYSTERY CLEARED
IN WEST ORANGE
Health Board Reports Man Seen
Busy with Blind" Sewer
Was City Employee.
PRESIDENT GRADY READY
TO GUN FOR OFFICIALS.
That Is Ii Proof Is Produced Re.
garding Places Not Connected
with Sewer System.

That mysterious gentleman who has
been wildly described of late as hav-
ing been seen in the Wigwam brook,
West Orange, and caught in the act of
removing the cap from a blind sewer"
which dumped pollution secretly in the
waterway, was brought into the lime
light last night at the special meeting
of the West Orange Board of Health.
The mai OF mystery proved to be just
a town employee removing stray refuse
in the path of "A standpipe, which had
been laid when the West Orange sewers
were built, and had a valve attached
which worked automatically, allowing
sewage to empty into the brook when
the pumps at the Lakeside avenue
sewage plant did not work satistac-
torily. Recently one of the pumps had
gone out of commission as the result OF
a heavy rainstorm and another was
struck by lightning. The sewage was
then released through the valve.
Benjamin Williams, jr., who Is quite
conversant with the West Orange sys-
tenn, told how the stream, where years
ago shad We're caught. was being pol
luted. He explained why the valve had
been placed by Engineer Potter after
it had been supposed, a long period
ago, that Orange would make an
agreement with the town officials for
taking care of its sewage. This plan
finally fell through, and it was neces-
sary to place the s~tandpipe. He said
that from the Edison works, where he
is employed, acids empty into the
brook, causing a disagreeable odor
which is not detrimental to the health
of residents.
Commissioner Lander and Mr.. Will
Jams entered into a lengthy discussion
regarding the sulphuric acid whicf
empties into the stream. Mixed witt
water, which occurs, Williams sale
sulphureted hydrogen is formed ant
it never harbors disease germs, he IN
sisted, He said the acid flowing lnt'
the brook w a not against the RUE
of the Board of Health. as it was In
diluted form. but Commissioner and
thought II was.
President John F. Il. Grady recalled
the trouble that had been caused among
the officials of two municipalities re-
garding the pollution of the brook, ano
said: Health Officer Gum, of Orange
seems to have been cunning after us
pretty hard and this town has beer
given a black eye. If it can be proven
that some Orange houses In this vicin-
ity are not connected with a sewer Their
we should go cunning after the Orange
officials"
No one seemed to know whether any
of the houses spoken of were not con
nected. though it was said this rumol
had received circulation. 1t was also
stated that II pumps of the tow
plant were now working very satisfac-
tory. and are not pumping within 10000
gallons of what they were severa
months ago. Then resulted anothel
long discussion. during which Mr.. Ian
der explained hat the West Orange
board was between the devil and tht
deep sea. lie was in favor of seeking
legal advice in the matter.

Her Piano for Big
Debt.
HUSBAND LEFT FORTUNE
TO LITTLE GRANDCHILD
NeighbOrs Say That Imprisoned
Widows New Fiance
Is Abroad.

Charged With f~raudulently obtaining
5000 from Mrs. Charity c. Mould, of
Mattituck, L.. l., Mrs. Helen A. Wilcox,
who resides at the Palmer House, at
Main street and Maple avenue, north,
East Orange, has been arrested and
locked up in the Raymond street Jail,
Brooklyn.
The arrest followed Mrs. Mould's COM
plant that the prisoner got The money
on II piece of property in cambridge
street, Mattituck, formerly owned by
Mrs. Wilcox. but which. it was claimed,
had been sold to satisfy Mrs. WilcoX's
debts. The order of arrest was signed
by Justice Scudder, of the Supreme
Court, Brooklyn.
Mrs. Wilcox must remain in Jail until
she furnishes $1,000 bail, Justice Black
mar having dismissed the writ of
habeas corpus in her behalf and re-
handed her to the custody of the sheriff.
AT the Palmer House, East Orange,
today a representative of THE EVE
MING STAR was told that Mrs. Wilcox
had met with an accident in New York
State on Tuesday" Her daughter, Mrs.
William Scally, today left her Agar
cid child Helen with a nurse n went
to her mother.
When Mrs. Alonzo N. Messer, wife of
the Palmer House proprietor, was
shown the account of Mrs. WilcoX's
arrest she seemed to be astonished and
remarked:
why, she owes me for three months
board, but l guess this piano will satisfy
that debt Leaving the reporter, she
went to the servants quarters and
directed two men there to put the up
right grand piano, standing in the hall
way and which she said was Mrs. Will
cox's property, into her private room.
Mrs. Wilcox is the widow of Myron
Wilcox. founder of the Wilcox Paper
Box Company. and up to six months
ago the family resided at 105 North
Sixteenth street, East Orange. h
family rented the house, which is said
to be owned by Mrs. Wilcox, and then
went to the Palmer GUS
Mrs. Scally lived with her mother.
Her child was raised through the aid
of an incubator. and was a favorfte
of the late Mr.. Wilcox. 1t is said the
fondness of Mr.. Wilcox caused him to
make the grandchild his heiress, plac-
ing large properties in custody for her
to be used when she reaches her ma
jority.
Neighbors in Sixteenth street said 1t
was understood Mrs. Wilcox was con-
sidering matrimony again, and that her
rumored fiance was now abroad. Mrs.
Wilcox has gray hair, but is attractive
in appearance. The property left by
her husband is said to be in trust with
tho Fidelity Trust for the
little girl Helen. The child was today
placed by the mother with a young
woman in Grove street, East Orange.
VIII had nursed the little one when she
was an incubator baby.
That the family intended to again re-
sumo residence in the Sixteenth street
house i'm the near future was shown by
the request to the tenants to give up
the house. as they were anxious to go
back to their former home.

EAST ORANGE TO
BUY PLOT FOR
NEW FIRE HOUSE
For $500 and Old Lot City
Gets Piece of Hollywood
Land.
NEW STRUCTURE WILL
ALSO BE CITY STABLE
Home for New Engine Company
No. 2 Is Now Pro-
Vided.

The fire committee of the East Or
ange City Council decided last night to
recommend the purchase of property
owned by DIR. Bradford W. Giveans,
located on Hollywood venue opposite
the Grove street depot of the Lack
awana Railroad, for the purpose of
erecting a new combination fire house
for the Fourth Ward.
An effort will be made to have the
sale -consummated at the regular meet
ing of the City Council ON Monday
night. 1t is said that the proposition,
unless unforeseen opposition should
arise, will meet with the favorable con
sideration Of the members. The pur-
chase means the formation of a new
truck company and securing Of munich
pal stables.
In exchange for the property now
used on Main street at the corner of
Hollywood avenue II $500 more. DR..
Giveans gives the city the property
which runs about 300 feet from Main
street to the HIATT property, 175 feet on
Hollywood avenue and Is feet on Main
street. The engine company . oc-
cupies a plot of ground 25X200 feet. The
physician gave the officials until Sep
TENDER 10 to decide, but 1t is more than
probable that the sale will be decided
on Monday night. The old truck now
being repaired in d Newark shop will
be placed there, as will the new APP
paratus of Engine Company No. 9.
The lot on Park avenue in the Fifth
Ward will be sold by he Council, and
at a later date a new headquarters will
be erected for Engine Company No.
on Springda avenue near the Crock
err Wheeler works. With the Giveans
property the city obtains two stables,
and as material and steam rollers are
now stored all over town the PROPOSE
ton appeals to the officials.

Aroused by what they call abomi-

Corporation, business men and other
citizens of Orange who are compelled
to use the cars have sent numerous
complaints to THE EVENING STAR.
While the criticism of the Main street
line is confined to the cars themselves.
that of the Crosstown road and Its
schedule is general.
Here are statements by a few of the
business men of Orange:
JOSEPH J. MARSH.
~(Architect, ~ Cone Strcct.)
There seems to be a lack of man
agement on the road The Unnecessary
delays ~aggravate patrons. two and
three cars travelling closely together
are frequently seen and then one must
wait nearly half an hour for the next.
Many people walk the distances they
would travel in cars In order to save
time. My business frequently takes me
to various places in the city n the
service on the Crosstown | find very
poor, indeed.
1s r.
druggist, II Cone Street.)
l think most of the delay trouble is
caused by railroad trains stopping
across the tracks Of the trolley line and
the power giving out, as it so often
does.
JAMES ROGERS,
bird Dealer, ~ Day Street.D
For a single track road | think this
1nn lie nrntfNF rrna1 Tho tra,.l.I1 l., that
there are not cars enough. There are
so many railroad crossings to pass that
the passengers become aged before they
reach their destinations.
CHARLES A. LAUREIGH.
PhonOgraphs. 1T Main street,
The ~irregularity and o~vercrowding
of the airs Is the most exasperating
feature of the whole line. One can
wait ten minutes for a car during the
rush hours of the day and then two or
more will come from both directions,
perhaps. This has happened so often
that / have gotten used to 1t. but |
| hope for a reform.
ALBERT VARNDELL,
butcher. 10 Centre street,
I am a daily patron of the Cross
town road, and the long waits for troll
ley cars are eX~asperating. There seems
to be a lack of management. Cars are
run apparently without any system
and frequently several come together,
then the next one is half an hour later.
And the management apparently does
not pay much attention to the racket
at the road urve In Lincoln avenue
the track apparently is never creased,
and is a big annoyance.
STUART LINDSLEY,
Contractor. ~ Cone Street.)
There never will be any better run
! ring arrangement until the railroad
crossings are elevated. The rains hold
up cars for several minutes at a time,
and this occurs many times during the
day. ! find the road gives pretty fair
service.
