ZIMMERMAN'S SUIT
FOR DIVORCE BEGINS.
Noted Cyclist Claims Wife Is
Insane.

Hearing in the divorce proceedings
brought by Arthur A. Zimmerman, the
noted cyclist, against his wife, Grace
Zimmerman, who is represented by her
mother. Mary Riley, as next friend,
was begun before Nice-Chancellor
Emery today. Mrs. Zimmerman, it is
claimed, is insane. In his petition Zim-
norman names four men. The couple
have been separated a little over a
year..
In the petition it is set Forth that
the couple were married On April g.,
1895, in Troy, n. Y. 1t charges that
Mrs. Zimmerman was of unsound mind,
and that she had been an inmate of
the River Crest sanitarium for a year
and a month. The commitment pa
pers stated that she had been insane
for two years. The answer of the de-
PENDANT, Mrs. Riley, denies all of the
allegations of the petition, and sets
forth that Mrs. Zimmerman has been
of unsound mind for several years
past.
Zimmerman testified that after his
marriage he travelled through the coun-
try as a bicyclist and was accompanied
by his wife. In 1900 he said that he
opened the Hotel Marion, at Point
Pleasant, and went there to live. He
testified that he had no knowledge of
his wife's alleged misconduct until he
went On a hunting trip in January, 1903,
when he was called back by a friend.

GIRL OF II, RUN DOWN
BY AUTO, SEEKS $4,000.
Joseph Samuels, Well-Known
Merchant, Sued for Damages.

Joseph Samuels, of 1875 Hunterdon
street, a well-knoWn dealer in old iron
and scrap metal, was the defendant
before Judge Heisley and a jury in the
Circuit Court today because his auto
about two years ago ran down
Mary Golfer, II years old, of 124 Prince
street, at the junction of South Orange
and Springfield n The suit is
for $4,000 damages brought against Mr..
Samuels as owner of the machine. 1t
was driven by John Mark, chauffeur.
but the owner, under the law, is made
the responsible party.
Little Mary Golfer was in
with Lena Buckner, her friend, of the
same age, and they were on their way
home after having taken supper to
their parents. She testified that she
was trying to cross the street when
the motor. going rapidly, ran down tho
avenue and struck her in the abdomen
without warning from the autos horn
or anything else. For four months she
was. unable to attend school.
Abner Kalisch, as counsel for the girl,
is trying to show that the autos speed
was reckless and in utter disregard for
human life, while Frederick J.. Faulks,
counsel for Samuels. will have witnesses
for the defense to show that the auto
was run with due regard to public
safety.

WOMAN LEAPS TO
DEATH UNDER TRAIN
BEFORE BIG CROWD
Throws Herself to Tracks in
New York Station as Men
Fight to Stop Her.

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-No means
could be found of identifying the
woman who committed suicide today
by throwing herself on the tracks IN
front of a Sixth avenue elevated train
Two men who were there did their best
to thwart the woman's fatal design.
They declare that there can be no
doubt as to her suicidal intent.
The oma was first noticed near the
elevated station at West 10th street
and Eighth avenue. At that time she
was walking up and down the sidewalk
as If uncertain whether to climb the
stairs to the station or go off in an
other direction. She was plainly but
we'll dressed, in dark clothes.
After pacing about near the station
for some minutes she seemed to have
formed her resolution and went hastily
upstairs. She bought q ticket mechan-
ically, but in the stress Of growing ex-
element forgot to drop it in the box.
The ticket chopper called after her as
she ran down the platform some TWEEN
ty-five or thirty feet.
The woman had timed the moment
accurately. \ southbound train was
dPBi 5ii16 just 90 sic IceNiNb th1
platform. Two men, anticipating her
design, sprang after her and tried to
grab her as she threw herself in front
Of the train. but she slipped beyond
their reach. The train struck her and
the wheels of the first truck passed
over her. Then she was caught
how under the train and dragged
or ninety feet, the distance In
which the motorman succeeded in
bringing the train to a stop.

WANTS BOARD TO
ABANDON JAMES 81.
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
Falling Off in Attendance Urged
as Chief Reason for Pro-
posed Step.

Al a meeting of the committee on in
struction and educational supplies of
the Board of Education 1t was decided
to recommend to h Board of Educa-
ton tonight the abandonment of the
James Street Industrial School, to take
effect February 1. 1t also was agreed,
on the suggestion of City Superintend-
ent of Schools Addison e. Poland, to
consider a suggestion that the building
be used as an industrial school for girls.
The action of the committee will be
something of a surprise to ladies of
the Second Presbyterian Church, who
have been conducting a charity work
there. Although the school was known
as an industrial school, it really was q
sort of charitable institution where poor
children. in addition to getting q public
school education. were fed and clothed
and given a noon-day meal. The ages
of the scholars ranged from 8 to II
years. No Industrial work of any kind
was taught. The Board of Education
has discussed the abandonment OF the
school for some time.
DR.. Poland said today that one of the
reasons for tho proposed abandonment
vi II 1llOR 10 tiia liz
had dropped off greatly in the last five
years. His reports showed that in 1904
the school had 1874 pupils and that now
there are bu ffty-eight children at
tending. This decreased attendance, he
said. was one of the best evidences that
there is not nearly as much poverty in
the city as in former years.
The building in James street was
rented by the city from he Brewer
Industrial School Association, the city
paying q rental OF $50 a month.
Mrs. w. I. Westfall, president of the
Ladies' Association of the Brewer IN
dustrial School Association, said that
her organization would take no action
in the matter until it hid considered
the decision of the committee. The as
ISOLATION supplies the children with
food and clothing.

BEAT GIRL UNCONSCIOUS,
THEN ROB CASH DRAWER.
Police Have No Clue to Daring
Trenton Thieves.

TRENTON, Nov. 24.-The police are
searching today for the daring robbers
who entered the restaurant of William
Gilberson, 322 East state street, and
choked Miss Iva Richmond, an EN-
ployee, into insensibility. Then they
emptied the cash register of its con-
tents, about s22.
The affair is thought to have been
committed by two negroes. The po-
lice, Notwithstanding their efforts. have
been unable to obtain any clue to the
identity of the thieves, but will con-
tinue working on the case in the hope
of running down the men.
Miss Richmond was sitting in the
restaurant in the rear of the counter,
sewing, when she heard a rafting at
the door of the kitchen, which is in the
rear of the restaurant. She went
through the kitchen to the door and
upon opening il was confronted by a
burly negro. Miss Richmond was able
to get but a tleeting glimpse of the
man, and to notice that he had a COM
panion directly behind him before she
was seized by the throat n showed
Violently back into the kitchen.
She struggled desperately with the
man, upsetting chairs, pans and glasses
but she was unable to make an out
cry. as the other robber clasped his
hands over her mouth, and finally con-
seriousness left her.
The thieves turned out the lights
for the purpose of co~ncealing theil
movements from the many people who
were passing on State street at the
time and also to prevent prospective
customers from entering and disturb
ing them in their operations.

Communications to Secretary
Show Millionaire Knew Moth
ing OF Search for Yacht.

NEW YORK. Noy. 24.-There was no
doubt today that Colonel John Jacob
Astor's steam yacht Nourmahal, with
the owner, his son and guests on board,
is safe somewhere in the West Indian
waters, as letters written by Colonel
Astor and dated November IA, were
received by William A. Doblyn, his
secretary, in this city.
These letters were exclusively OF a
business nature. The tone of the let
tiers indicated that Colonel Astor was
not aware that there had been any
apprehension abou the Nourmahal. He
mentioned no storm, and Mr.. Doblyn
infers from this that the Nourmahal
did not have any rough weather after
she sailed from Kingston on November
5 for Santo Domingo. and later from
Santo Domingo for Mayaguez.
Colonel Aston is a seaman and woulo
not consider weather that did no dam
age worth saying anything about. he
was aware, apparently, that the caoie
from San Juan to Jamaica was out
of commission, as he wrote that ne
would cable ''in a few days The eX-
p~ectation of the cable company at that
time was thai they would have the
break mended in "a few days 1t hau

Captain Dalton, of the Insular Line
Luckenbach. and his chief engineer, a
L.. Emery. reported that when the
Luckenbach sailed out of San Juan OH
Wednesday last. two days after Cap
tain Furst, of the Caracas. had seen
the Nourmahal there. she was still at
anchor off San Juan and showed no
evidences of having encountered rough
weather on her trip from Santo Do
mingo.
