ANGRY WOMEN
l.. v. Officer James McDer-
mott Drew Revolver to
Hold Mob in Check.
ANGRY OVER AN ARREST

James McDermott, chief of the spe-
cial officers employed by the Lehigh
Valley railroad in this c1ry, was at
tackled by mob of infuriated women
near the "Y" beyond the round house
yesterday afternoon and was compelled
to draw his revolver for protection.
The women, mostly Hungarians, were
incensed because he had arrested Mrs.
Ellen Bebaek, twenty-three years old,
of Polasko avenue, on a charge of steal
ing a new railroad tie. Stones were
hurled at him and for few minutes he
was in danger of serious injury One
of the missiles struck the officer on the
head, raising large welt, and another
hit him on the upper part of his chest
with such force that for moment he
was rendered almost breathless.
When McDermott reached the ''Y'
yesterday afternoon he saw crowd of
women and on approaching detected
Mrs Beback, he says, in the act of
stealing a new tie. He believes that
the rest of the women were there for
the same purpose, as much wood has
been missed at the yards recently 1t has
also been learned that the anger of the
women was due to the fact that Mrs. Be-
back is practically destitute.
In spite of the fusilade the officer
held fast to his prisoner and, drawing
his revolver, managed to leave the
place, although the crowd FOLLOWED at
distance Mrs. Beback, the officer
says, fought like a tigress, but he
finally succeeded in reaching the police
station, where Sergeant McDermott
placed her in the lookup.
The woman-was released last night,
by Chief Burke as Recorder Pickersgill
would not entertain a charge of lar
ceny against her, in view of the fact
that Chief Haines of the Lehigh Valley
detective force objects to having pris-
oners arrested for stealing coal or wood
held for the grand jury. The chief, as
told in the NEWS recently, wants them
fined, as he says holding them for the
grand jury only encourages them to
continue their stealing Haines wants
them fined and instructed his men
in this city, only short time ago, to
take them before a justice other than
Recorder Pickersgill A week or SO
ago some coal thieves were taken by
Officer McDermott to Woodbridge,
where Justice of the Peace Dunn fined
them heavily.
When Recorder Pickersgill was seen
by McDermott at o clock last night
he refused to hear the charge of petit
larceny but said he would entertain an
assault and battery charge. McDer-
mott, however, said he did not care to
press such charge against the woman,
as he had only done his duty in ar
resting her and did not want any per-
sonal revenge. As there was no charge
on which to hold Mrs. Beback, who, it
was learned, had a seven months old
baby at home, she was released shortly
afterward.

BAD WEATHER
Steamer Santona Arrives at
A. S. & R. Plant After a
Very Rough Trip.
STORM, FLOOD AND
DISASTER MET WITH
Vessel Came Into Port This
Mornings Still
Fresh In Mind.

With vivid scenes still fresh in the
minds of its crew of storm, flood and
disaster encountered near Tampico,
the steamer Santona steamed into
port this morning. This vessel met
with the misfortune of losing mem
Der of the crew who was killed, it is
understood, while the vessel was
loading. The intensely rough sea,
accompanied by heavy floods, put it
at the mercy of the waves and it was
constantly in danger.
The steamer came into port this
morning and was first boarded by DR..
Naulty, health officer of the port. He
was told of the rough trip, the loss
of a member of the crew and some
exciting details of the hardships en-
countered.
The vessel is now at the American
Smelling & Refining Works discharg-
ing a cargo of copper and lead bull
lion.

Turner, Orange County, N. Y,
Sept. 10:-Without pomp or cere-
mony E. H. Hartman will be inferred
in the little country church yard be-
side his eldest son, e. H. Hartman,
Jr.. at Arden Sunday afternoon at 8
o'clock. The announcement of the
funeral arrangements were made this
morning. Rev. j. Holmes McGuiness,
rector of St. Johns church. Will con-
duct the ceremony of the Episcop6f
church.
A short service will be held at
Arden House at O'Clock which will
precede the burial.
The active pail bearers will be G.
T. Ford, superintendent Of the Harrt-
man estate; l. w. Mandige. head car
penter of the Hartman estate; E. P.
Schultz, master mason at Arden
House; William Robbins. superinten-
dent of Arden Farms, and w. A. Nc
Clalland, supervisor of stores of the
Hartman estate. These men were
chosen according to Mr.. Harriman's
wish.
The true cause of Mr. Harriman's
death will probably never be known
as there will not be an autopsy. Ply
sicians are uncertain regarding the
cause of death. The certificate which
is to be filed this afternoon or tomor-
row will give the approximate cause
of death.
Robert T. Gerry, the financier's
son-in-law, said the cause of death
will probably really never become
known as the family will not allow an
autopsy.
Members of the railroad and finan-
cial world began to arrive to pay
their last respects to the dead in a
drizzling rain. The most rabid enc
mics of Mr.. Hartman in his business
life came to Arden today to mourn
his death
Arden and Turner villagers were
gathered In little groups in the driz-
zle this morning discussing the event
in undertones.
Mr.. Hartman was the kindest man
that ever lived is the unanimous
opinion among the poor villagers.
A choir of twenty women, retain
ers from the estate, will sing at the
funeral services Sunday.
Those present at Harriman's death
declare the scene was heartrending
when the master of millions died,
holding the hand OF his youngest son,

WATER COMMISSIONERS.
UNDECIDED ON PUMP.

A committee session Of the water
board was held last night to discuss
further the bids which were recently
received for a 100000 gallon
pump at Runyon. No representatives
of pump companies were allowed at
the meeting, the discussion being en-
tirely between the commissioners and
Engineer Samuel J. Mason.
President Clark stated today that
no choice has been made yet and that
1t Is likely to be a month before the
contract is given out Some of the
board favor the Wisconsin Engine
Company's and the Bethlehem Steel
Company's pumps.
Before the contract is awarded
local engineers may probably be con-
suited and some of the pumps which
the various bidders have in operation
in different cities may be examined.
