MADISON DRAKE TELLS OF
HIS WAR; TIME ADVENTURES
Gives Thrilling Details OF His Escape from the Hands of the Con-
federaes and of the Ihousand=M Mile Journey Through
Hostile Territory Which Followed

ELIZABETH. Oct 6.-General j.
Madison Drake, now IA years old,
is today dreaming of the past
1t is the forty-sixth anniversary
of the daring leap he made from a
swiftlymoving train of q cars near
Charleston, S. c., while a prisoner of
war in the hands of the Confederates.
After the leap General Drake and
three companions, Captain Harry H.
Todd, Eighth New Jersey Volunteers;
j. e. Lewis, Eleventh Connecticut Vol
unteers. and Alfred Grant, Eighteenth
Wisconsin Volunteers, struck out FOR
the North. and reached it in forty
eight days, after incredible hardships
and a tramp Of nearly 1000 miles
through the enemy's country.
Last week General Drake learned of
the death of Mrs William Estes, of
Collettsvifle, n. c., at the age of 80
years. This heroic woman braved perils
in caring for and plotting General
Drake and his companions through a
dangerous section of the Blue Ridge
mountains. She supplied the fugitives
with food, and on more than one ocoa
sion saved them from capture With
out her aid and the assistance of her
husband still living, the fleeing pris-
oners would never have been able to
cross the Appalachian chain, bare of

NO BUDGET FOR
AOOPTION,O PET
5-PLATOON PLAN
Finance Committee Refuses P0-
lice Boards Request, Contend
ing Present Force Adequate.

Contending that the present police
force, If properly distributed. is suffi-
cient to provide adequate protection of
the city, and claiming that specific de-
tails at unnecessary points are handi-
capping the police arrangements, the
finance committee of the Common Coun-
Gil last night refused to grant the re-
quest of the police commissioners and
the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association
for an appropriation of $4,000 to put into
operation the five-platoon system that
has been under consideration for some
time.
The opposition to the plan was led
by Alderman Congleton, who said that,
if the police board was really sincere in
its efforts to improve the service and
afford better protection, it could take
some Of the fifty-six special detail men
and make start toward the accom-
piishment of their purpose. If it was
found that more men were then needed
it would be time enough, he said, to ask
for additional appointments.
New Plan n Good One.
Alderman MCGOWAN took issue with
him on that point and said he believed
the new plan was a good one and should
be adopted. Il do not think few men
taken from special details will be
enough to make any difference in the
general result. What We need is better
protection, and to get it we need more
men,
II don't agree with you there re-
torted Alderman Congleton. I'VE have
enough men on the force now. What
we need is to have them distributed
properly, and it won't take fifty-nine
new men to remedy the conditions,
either. Why, under the proposed FIVE
platoon system, we would have thirty
less men on duty between 9 p. m. and
a. m. than we have now, and that's just
when we need added protection. If you
call that system an Improvement, l
don't, and they will have to come with a
better plan than this one before 1 will
indorse it,

JERSEY CITY, Oct, 6.-Miss Emelia
Bette. daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Bette, of $50 Central avenue, this
city, was married sto Edward
Gehring, son of Rounds-Sergeant John
Gehring, of the Central Avenue police
station. -.
The brides father, who is president
of the Rod and Reel Club of the Hud-
son City district, has a. cigar, business
at 460i Central avenue. Young Gehring
visited the cigar store year ago to
purchase. a cigar Miss Bette was In the
store at the time and waited on the new

This is a good one.' said Miss Bette.

time smiling.
Now, whether the cigar was good or
whether it was that SMILE" young
Gehring went back again. 1t got to be
SO that he could go no place else for
cigars. He almost always found Miss
Bette there to wait on him. The friend

toner and the attendant ripened into

PatroIman Explains Scheme.

PatroIman Explains Scheme.
Aldermen MCGOWAN and Donnelly
both renewed the argument in favor of
the plan. and Patrolman Webber was
called upon to explain it more fully.
Alderman Congleton, however, remained
obdurate and would not consider the
plan at all. Finally Alderman Nc
Gowan moved that $4,000 be appropri-
ated to put the t1ve-platoon system into
force.
Alderman Donnelly seconded the mo-
ton, but it was lost, when Aldermen
Congleton. Shape, Cairns and Wohl-
farth voted against it.
Alderman MCGOWAN wanted to know
IL the committee was to go on record
as opposed to better police protection,
and Alderman Congleton replied that
the action of the committee meant that
1t was opposed to enlarging the force
at this time. 1t was made evident that
the police commissioners can expect
little from the present finance commit
tee until some of the special details are
done away with, and the men assigned
to regular patrol duty.
Dredging of Passaic.
The committee decided to act at once
in the matter of dredging the Passaic
river along the dock fronts and the
request of the Board of Works for
81, 500 to aid in the work will doubtless
be granted.
Chief Engineer Sherrerd appeared be-
fore the committee and explained the
necessity for the work, and John f..
Kehoe, president of the Lister Agri-
cultural Works. and James M. Reilly,
secretary of the Board of Trade, also
spoke of the pressing need for relief,
contending that the docks at present
were almost useless.
The committee promised to take the
matter up Immediately and do some
thing to relieve the condition.
Alderman Ingraham was present at
the meeting and renewed his request
for an appropriation for a site for a
new nurses home He asked for $4,000
for the purpose, and told of the press
ing need of new building, He also
wanted $500 for a garage at the City
Hospital and improvements to the
morgue. Additionally he asked for
$4,000 for constructing sun balconies
and fire escapes at the hospital.
Money for Fire Houses.
Mr.. Ingraham also suggested appro-
priations of $4,000 for a fire house in
the Clinton Hill section in the Six
teenth Ward; $500 for a fire house in
the Fifteenth Ward. and $4,000 for a fire
house site in the Tenth Ward.
1t was explained that no money was
available for any of these purposes at
present.
DIR. Fl. C. Fl. Herold. president of the
Board of Health. urged immediate ac-
ton in the matter of a new nurses
home and explained some of the de-
plorable conditions that exist there

mails occasionally killed and broiled.
Surrounded by GucrriIIas.
General Drake last evening, in re-
hearsing the journey, had the follow
ing to say in regard to his experiences
in fleeing from a band of guerrillas
that surrounded his party at night in
the mountains of East Tennessee.
Aroused from train of sad reflec-
tions I sprang from the trunk of Il
fallen tree on which I had been reclia-
ing, and dashed directly up the steep
mountain side, lacerating my bare feet
and legs on the rocks and brush which
lined my darkened pathway. My boots
long since pegged out, and my uniform,
which L had worn more than six
months without removing, was much
torn. My legs from the knees down
were entirely exposed
Fails From Exhaustion.
"My rapid flight up the mountain
was accelerated by a shower of bullets
which pelted the hillside. Reaching
the height, [ fell unconscious from ex-
haustion How long I remained in that
state l do not know. but when l awoke
and realized that l must perish unless
could get my blood in circulation, I
set to work by indulging in exercise.
After regaining my feet l stamped
them upon the cold and wet ground,
then attempted walking and running,
stopping occasionally to rub my hands
and legs and feet against logs, which
everywhere strewed the hillside.
"Alone in that vast wilderness,

that l was starving; yet, l did not
