NABS COURT VISITOR I
ON AN OLD WARRANT,

Court Officer Eckerlein's propensity
for arresting various people who call at
the First Precinct police station was
further demonstrated when he arrested
Charles Segal, rs years old, of 262
Springfield avenue today. There has
been a warrant out for Segal since
March IS. He is charged by his wife,
Ella. Of s5 Sixteenth avenue. with de-
sertion and non-support.s At the time
that the warrant was issued Segal was
in New York. AS time elapsed, the in
cident was forgotten. segal returned
some time G and has been going
about town. entirely ignorant thai
somewhere there was a warrant for
him. Time was tagging with him to-
day, SO he thought he would go to the
First Criminal Court and see II there
was any excitement. He secured a
comfortable seat and as he was enjoy
ing his surroundings, Eckerlein spied
him. Now Eckerlein knew that at some
time and place his face was familiar.
He racked his brain to recall and
finally. like a flash, it came. He had a
warrant for him. Now was his chance
to make a catch. The next problem
was t. find the warrant and after care
full Investigation of the various hooks
and cracks of the court room, it was
found safely stored 1--we among other
legal documents. The officer then beck
oned to Segal. Segal came, wondering
what was wrong. Eckerlein lead him
to a private Office and gently informed
him that it was his painful duty to lock
him up.
Segal was arraigned on the charge
before Judge Hahn and placed under
$500 for trial on Friday next His
father furnished the bail.

The arrangement is to continue with
q stipulated compensation of S. per day
until such time as Common Council
finds a way to make permanent ar
rangements for the removal of all dead
animals in a similar to the way
It had been done under contract with
the New Jersey Rendering Company
The latter concern paid the city n
stipulated amount annually under con-
tract for the exclusive right to remove
all dead animals, including horses n
COWS.
The Arbuckle Company. Of Plum
Point lane, maintained that the con-
tract was Illegal and asserted its own
right to remove the c~arcasses of horsess
paying the owner in each instance s.
for the privilege.
Suit was brought by the city or be-
half of the New Jersey Rendering COM
pany against the Arbuckle Company,
and the Supreme Court decided IN favor
Of the latter concern, holding the con-
tract to be void.
Since then the three concerns named
have been doing an "ambulance chas

SILENT 81 YEARS,
DYING HERMIT IS
UNABLE TO SPEAK
Somerville Character, Made Mo-
rose by Misfortunes, Dead
After Strange Career.

SOMERvILLE. July 13.-SiIas Hoff-
man. who had not spoken a word for
|thirty-one years. according to his neigh
bors. is dead. He passed away late
last night without breaking the silence
which he had preserved so long. Just
before he died he made an effort to
speak to his devoted sister, Mrs. Mar
garet Lane. who had cared for him in
his lonely house throughout his eccen-
tr:c career. The attempt failed. ewing
either to weakness or to the fact that
ne had lost the power TO articulate.
Hoffman was 81 years old. He vas
one of five sons Of a prosperous arme
The other four are living and are
prominent in their communities. Hoff-
man spent his early life like his broth
ers. on his fathers farm. AT the age of
30 he possessed a farm and owned a
fine team of horses. of which he was
very proud. He was FOND of society
and attended all the social gatherings
of his community.
Then misfortune overlook him. He
lost his farm and finally his pet team.
He went to bed and turned his face to
the wall and for a long time refused to
eat or speak. Food vas left on a table
neal his bed and when he was nearly
STAYED he arose one night, ate a meal
and took a stroll out of doors. He con-
tinued for a number of years to arise
each night. eat and take a short walk
in his garden. One winter night, more
than fifteen years ago, he slipped on the
ice and broke an arm while walking in
his garden in the dark. After that ac-
cident he never left his bed.
Whether Hoffman was insane vas
never determined, although he had been
examined by a score of physicians with
a view of determining his mental con-
dition. His continual silence baffled
alienists up to the time of his death.
Physicians had been expecting Hoff-
maj to die every year for the last dec
ade from shee. inactivity. His vitality
for a number of years had been so low
that 1t times his heart almost failed to
best. and for several days before his
death his attendant physician could not
detect any pulse.

EDUCATORS BODY
FOUND IN CREEK
PROBABLY SUICIDE
Colonel Silas E. Comfort, of
Pennsylvania Military College,
Discovered Submerged.

CHESTER, Pa, July 13.-The body OF
Colonel Silas E. Comfort. vice-president
of the Pennsylvania Military College
and prominent in city affairs. was
found today in Leiperville creek, in the
rear of the Colonial Hotel. Lieperville.
near here.
The body was submerged, head down,
in the shallow water of the creek to
the waistline. Colonel Comforts hat
was found on the bank.
Foul play was for a time suspected.
The police, after investigating the mat
ter, are, however, Of the belief that
Colonel Comfort committed suicide be-
cause of criticism that had been d.
rected at him following his appoint
ment as consulting engineer of the city
of Chester. It was claimed that he
did not have enough practical expert
ence. 1t is also known that he had
suffered from the heat. He was last
seen alive yesterday morning at 0
o'clock. when he left the Military
Academy. It is believed he wandered
around until last night before jumping
into the creek.
His wife and two children. when he
did not return home last evening, made
anxious inquiries for him, but no trace
of Colonel Comfort could be found. The
suicide theory is strengthened by the
finding Of Colonel Comforts gold watch
near the body. Other valuables In the
clothing were not disturbed.
The police believe the bruises on Col
onel Comforts head were received when
he struck the bottom of the shallow
creek.
Colonel Comfort was about fifty years
of age. He was born In New York
State, but had resided in Chester for
many years.
