BOY AND GIRL IN
QUEER GARB TRY
vA|NLY TO MARRY
Harrison Interested in Eques-
trian Twain Who Seek MINI
lister, Object Matrimony.

Followed by a curious crowd attract
ed by the knicker-bockered riding cos
tune of the girl and ancient, weather
beaten clothes of the boy, a couple,
both of whom gave their ages as Is
years. spent two hours yesterday in
Harrison trying to find a minister to
marry them.
The boy and girl, who had evidently
ridden quite a distance on horseback,
stopped at the confectionery store oil
Mrs. Catherine Murphy, at 1856 Harrison
avenue. and asked her where they could
find a minister. She directed them to
Christ Episcopal Church, at Cleveland
avenue and Fourth street. a block
away. The pair stabbed their
horses in q nearby livery and started
to walk to the church. The girls riding
habit, mans hat and long braidss at
tracted immediate attention n when
they arrived at the church quite a
crowd of young people was following.
The minister was not at the church.
They then went to the house of Jo-
sept Stump, at 1886 Cleveland avenue,
and asked him to marry them. When
he recovered from his surprise and in
formed them that he was in the leather
business and had never married n
one in his life. they went sadly away.
The crowd still kept at their heels.
DIR. A. A. Mulligan, of IL North
Fourth street, was next to be ap-
preached with the same request. He
broke the news gently, he was not a
curate but a curer. The couple did
not even smile. but when he told them
to ask a policeman where a minister
lived they frightened up considerably.
Patrolman James Murphy, on duty in
Davis avenue. supplied the couple with
the address of the Rev. William j.
Tilley, pastor of Christ Episcopal
Church. When they arrived and stood
before him, he inspected them carefully
a minute and shook his head.
"You are too young" he said.
"Why, we are both going on nine
they answered.
The boy told Mr.. Tilley that he lived
Deal. The girl refused to tell where
she lived. Neither would give their
names. They left Mr.. Tilley's home, got
their horse and left town.

FAMILY RETURNS
TO BURNED HOME
AS ONLY SHELTER
Machettes in Pitiable Plight
After Partial Destruction of
Farm House in Arlington.

With no other place to offer them
shelter. Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Machette
n their nine children, the youngest an
infant only a year old, moved back last
night into an ancient story-and-a-half
farmhouse in Arlington that had been
half-burned down yesterday morning.
The interior was still dripping with
water from the ~drenching the flremen
a to give it, the doors were burned
n broken. and the cold wind swept
through the shattered windows. To add
to their distress, the family hungered
rs well as shivered in their cherries
home. their scanty supply of provisions
having been consumed in the fierce
blaze that started in their kitchen from
an overheated stovepipe.
The burned house is one of the land
marks of the Arlington section of
kearny, and is in the extreme north
western corner of the town, at the juno
ton of Passaic avenue and Belleville
turnpike, n close to the White Bridge.
1t was once a lodge-house for the old
Schuyler mansion nearby. and belongs
to a family named Johnson, now living
in California. 1t is believed to be at
least a hundred years old, and has been
occupied by Machette, who is a carpen-
ter, a long time, nearly all of his
twenty-five children having been born
at that place. Several of the children
have married and others are dead.
Machette mas been married three times.
Howard Seeley. who lives in the
Schuyler homestead. heard a cry of fire
and saw a cloud of smoke coming from
the little farmhouse and turned in an
alarm at $50 o'clock. Arlington Truck
Company No. 1, Hose Company No. 3
and the members of Auxiliary Hose
Company were soon OF the scene, but
they found themselves short of hose for
the half-mile stretch from Elizabeth
avenue on the heights to the burning
building, and it was not until Highland
Hose Company arrived with its supply
that a line could be laid. Just as the
firemen were getting a stream on the
north end of the house, which was q
roaring mass of flames, the hose burst
and cut off the water. When the hose
had been repaired the pressure was
found insufficient and some delay was
experienced in getting a telephone mes
sage to the East Jersey Water Com
pany's gatehouse, near the Arlington
for increased pressure.
When it was provided the firemen soon
had the flames under control.
The family, with the aid of the fire.
men, escaped safely with all their
household effects, the latter being of
the poorest description. The restitution
of the family was temporarily relieved
by a few neighbors, but the husband,
who has beer out of work, the wife
and the nine children are in distress.

MARRIED COUSIN
Bayonne Pair Desert Children
and Are Sought by Police
After Hurried Flight.

BAYoNNE. Dec. 1s.-Mrs. Dora
echpeiderman, the mother of three
children and the wife of Isaac
Schheiderman, of 6 West Twenty
second street, packed a dress-suit case
with her clothing a week ago today
and taking $50 of her husbands savings
she talled her three children to her and
said to Sadie, the oldest. 6 years:
''Mama is going away, Sadie. and
you must mind YOU little brother and
sister until papa comes home. When
papa gets home tell him mama doesn't
like him any more and is gone away for
good
About the time Mrs. Dora Schneider
man left home Joseph L, Sehneiderman,
. cousin of her husband, living with his
wife and three children at 65 West

and gave the money to her husband,
With the money thus obtained
S-chneiderman bought a new outfit OF
clothes, telling his wife that he would
explain the reason for doing SO later.
Joseph S-chneiderman has not yet ap-
peared at his home to give that ex-
PLANTATION TO his wife or his children,
Isaac Schneiderman visited Mrs. Jo-
seph L. Sehneiderman the next day.
They compared notes.
Il have suspected for a long time
that Dora and your husband were In
terested in each other" said the de-
serted husband.
IT have known it, for my husband
often told me So said the deserted
wife.
The deserted pair asked the police
to arrest the clippers. Then they went
back to their respective children. Mrs.
Joseph Schneiderman, because of her
generosity to her husband, found her
self without a penny. She appealed TO
her father-in-law, Harris Schneider
man, of 547 Avenue c. He invited her
and her. children to make their home
with him until her %recreant husband
returned.
Isaac Sc~hneiderman spent all last
week at home taking care of his three
children. Then he summoned his wife's
sister to help him out. She has taken
charge of his household.

CRISIS IN FIRE INSURANCE
EXCHANGE COMES TODAY.
Officials Are Reticent as to Oh.
iect of Meeting.

Members of the Newark Fire Insur-
nee Exchange, which the highest court
in New Jersey recently decided was an
unlawful organization that stopped
competition, when asked the object OF
a meeting of the Exchange today re-
ferred the questioner to Ross M. Wick
ham, president OF the organization. So
many underwriters called upon Mr..
Wickham at his Office in the Union
building that he finally sent word to
a waiting reporter that he was too
busy to talk"
Old fire insurance men were asked II
1t was true that the Exchange would
be dissolved his afternoon; if the fire
insurance companies doing business in
Newark will continue to maintain the
Salvage Corps, which does very Inn
portant fire service, in case a "cut
rate war shall be the result of the
court decision. Each man said he had
no idea what action will be taken at
the meeting. One of the oldest I'M
derwriters in Newark said:
None of us know what will be done
at the meeting or what can be done.
We are at a crisis in fire insurance
business in this city. Nobody can tell
now what the result will be. What is
done at the meeting win be made
public afterwards"
