IS LITTLE ROSIE zlMSKi

The eighteen-months-old girl
found IN a stable in Bound Brook
last Saturday is Rosie Zimski,,
daughter Of John and Lizzie Zim-
ski, whom the authorities of this
city befriended, according to the find
of Detective Sergeants Huff and
Long. They are now searching for
the parents of the deserted girl and
If caught they can expect heavy pun
ishment, 1t is declared. The police
declare Zimski deserted his wife
and she In turn deserted their child
leaving 1t to starve while it was i'll
Mr.. and Mrs. zimski originally
lived In South River and some time
ago came to this city. According to
the woman's own story, obtained by
the police while they were aiding in
befriending her, Zimski deserted her
about three months ago and went to
work in a factory In South River.
The infant was removed to st. Mary's
Home in New Brunswick. After be-
ing there a few days, it was taken
out by Zimski, who brought the girl
to his wife and gave indications OF
starting life anew. He lived with
his family but a day and then left,
the woman declared. She then set
out to provide for herself and child
and obtained employment in a South
River factory. She claims being dis
charged a short time afterward for
being absent two days to attend to
her sick baby.
The woman came here on Septem-
Der and was aided by the police
and poor authorities. Alma G. Wi
derstrom, assistant to the overseer
Of the poor, aided her, and Mrs.
Kutcher, wife of Alderman John
Kutcher, who is chairman of the
poor committee, bought clothes for
the mother and child. The woman
seemed dissatisfied nevertheless and
showed signs of being discouraged
and of being desirous of desertine

girl from this city on September I

child was found the same day, i'll

as food. The child is now in the

STREETS HERE
NOT SPRINKLED

Due to negligence of some of the
flrehouse janitors the city's streets
are not sprinkled to the satisfaction
of residents, according to city Off
cials. There have been numerous
complaints the past month or more
concerning this action Of the 5ani-
tors and city officials attentive to the
wants of taxpayers do not seem able
to remove alleged stubbornness and
compel flrehouse ianitors to sprinkle
streets as they are required to under
the rules and regulations under
which they are working.
When Alderman F. A. Seaman,
chairman of the streets and sewers
committee, was asked today why
streets were not sprinkled as well as
formerly, he declared that was a
question he would like to hear fire.

missioner Adair put the blame for
excessive dust and no sprinkling OF
streets directly up to the flrehouse
janitors. He declared they had the

Crowds Watch Diver Work.


Crowds of curious persons formed
on the bridge and hampered the res
cuing work. So large number
thronged the northerly end of the
draw last night that 1t was caused to
weigh down and when closed after
being opened to pass a vessel, dis
lodged an iron resting block weigh
ing about 500 pounds and knocked it
overheard, thereby blocking trolley
traffic over the bridge for more than
an hour. Cars were run up to both
ends of the draw and passengers
After the wrecking crew had lifted
the mans body and wagon they
went to work recovering the resting
block.
A diver Of the Merritt & Chapman
company went down in the channel
about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
and tied Vozniak's body fast to the
wagon. He found the body held fast
under the wagon at the bottom OF
the river. The tide was SO strong
that 1t was deemed unwise to life the
wagon and body at that time. The
work was finally completed about
1880 o'clock last night. Patrolman
Tonneson was on duty shortly after
the accident occurred and secured
the stories of witnesses. Mounted
Patrolman Hartmann was detailed to
the scene yesterday afternoon to
keep curiosity seekers bank,

with Patrolmen Hartung and Nc

last night.

FIND DRIVERS BODY
UNDER WAGON; DEATH
DUE TO HOLE IN HEAD
Coroner Says Victim of County
Bridge Accident Was Not Drowned
Probably Kicked by Horses.
RAISED TO SURFACE BY DIVER

John Vozniak, who lost his life
when Adolph M. Metzendorf's team
and delivery truck went overheard
from the county bridge early yester-
day morning, died from a blow on
the forehead and was not drowned,
according to the verdict of Coroner
James ]. Flynn. The mans body
and the wagon were hauled out of
the channel by the derrick Atlas, of
the Merritt & Chapman Derrick and
Wrecking Company about 1880
o'clock last night. The body was
removed to Coroner Flynn's morgue
and the wagon was taken to black
of fifty bags of -four Weighing 100
pounds each, were q total loss to the
owner. The horses were saved.
Hole In Forenead.
1t Is evident that Vozniak's head
struck some part of the wagon or the
framework which is part Of the
foundation of the northerly abut-
ment When the body was removed
from the water the coroner found a
hole about a quarter of an inch in
diameter on the forehead over the
right eye and the bridge of the vic
TINS nose had been cut. Upon ex-
animation the official also found
there was no water in the mans
lungs, which proved conclusively to
him that the man did not drown, but
was killed before he sank. The
theory is also advanced that the man
was kicked in the forehead by one
of the horses as he went over with
the rig.
When the body was stripped of
clothing in Coroner Flynn's morgue
it was seen that the man had been
crippled with a large sore on the
calf Of his left leg. There were
otherwise no Injuries on the vic
TINS body. In the clothes on the
body were found fifteen cents and
some tobacco coupons. Mr.. Flynn is
holding the body awaiting the ap-
pearanee of relatives or friends of
the dead man.

j. j. DE|TCHE
PASSES AWAY
One Of Perth Amboy's Most
Prominent and Highly Re-
spectsd Citizens.
SIXTY TWO YEARS OLD
Death Came at 10 O'clock
Last Night Funeral Ser
vices Saturday Afternoon.
SIXTY TWO YEARS OLD

One OF the most prominent and
highly respected citizens of this city,
John J. Deitche, died at 10 o'clock
last night at his residence in High
street, following an illness of three
years, which had slowly undermined
strong constitution. A beloved
father is mourned by four children,
Augustus, Ella, now Mrs. A. l.. Ram
say, Lester and Miss Mildred, who
were at the bedside when death
came. The funeral will be held on
Saturday afternoon from his late
residence, 233 High street.
A Life of Usefulness.
Mr.. Deitche was born in Metuchen
on June %, 1850, the son of Michael
and Mary A. Deitche, who were life
long residents of that place. He Sc
cured his education In the uncouth
public schools of that day, attending
but six months every year. The
remainder, he frequently explained
to intimate friends, was spent in
planting corn or other chores famil-
lar to the mind Of every farmer 9
lad, who, like Mr.. Deitche, became a
successful business man before Time
and his sweeping scythe claimed a
life Of usefulness. Mr.. Deitche was
never hampered, as every one knows,
with the lack Of fundamental knowl-
edge of the application Of principles.
After attaining early manhood,
Mr.. Deitche became employed as as
sistant postmaster to Lewis Thomas
at Metuchen, which position he held
for number Of years, to the utmost
satisfaction of Uncle Sam and Post
master Thomas. In 1870 Mr.. Deitche
was idle for short space of time
only week, in fact-but too long,
even at that, for this ambitious
young man. When but twenty-one
years old he came to this city on a
purposeless errand, but was imme-
diately engaged as clerk for the COM
ing week by Van Norick and Edgar,
who were conducting a grocery store
on the southwest corner of High
and Smith street, where Genes cafe
is now located.
Promotion to Head Clerk.
Mr.. Deitche served out the week
again to the utmost satisfaction of
his employers, and was retained by
the firm as one of their few right
hand and dependable young men, un-
til the partnership dissolved. c. S.
Edgar, Of the firm, purchased the
business and induced his brother, M.
A. Edgar, also to become interested.

In Court Yesterday.
Statement BY SILZER
Controversy Grew Out of
Discussion Regarding Re-
cent Strike in This City.

Thomas Brown, an attorney of
this city, has written a letter to
Prosecutor Silzer in which he denies
acter of the prosecutor, either by in
nuendo or otherwise, when he made
a statement in Judge Daly's court
yesterday when the trial of the State
VS.. John Skrocky came up, Skrocky
is accused of doing business In his
saloon on a Sunday during the strike
in this city. Brown said that Pros
ecutor Silzer is In the employ of the
American Smelling and Refining
Company and intimated that the In
vestigation conducted by the pros
ecutor's office into the shooting of
men in the vicinity of the A. s. and
R. plant was not what 1t should have
been and intimated that he might
ask that a commission be appointed
by the attorney general to further
investigate the strike.
Prosecutor Silzer resented the in
ference made by Lawyer Brown and
makes the following statement:

BEEN SECURED
Brainbridge Colby to Ad-
dress Progressive Convention

Brainbridge Colby, we'll known
New York attorney, has been secured
by the arrangement committee to
address the Middlesex county con-
vention of the Progressive party Sat
urday afternoon in the old Y. M. G.
A. hall, New Brunswick. Mr.. Colby
is well known to the New Brunswick
followers Of Theodore Roosevelt, as
he addressed mass meeting in that
city May 2b, and kept the crowd in
terested and in good humor awaiting
the arrival Of the illustrious Tied
dy." Many will remember the clean
cut remarks OF Mr.. Colby on that
occasion and rejoice that the Bull
Moose herding Saturday afternoon
will be addressed by such powerful
Progressive.
The arrangement committee, COM
posed of James A. Edgar, H. Ray
mond Groves and Russell E. Watson,
all of New Brunswick, was unsuc-
cessful in its efforts to secure the
services Of Burke Cochran, former
Tammany hall congressman, to ad-
dress the convention. Mr.. Cochran
was ordered West by the speakers

tee. Mr.. Colby, who, by the way, is
no relation to Senator Everitt Colby,
of Newark, who addressed the Me-
tuchen herding, was at one time
prominently mentioned as the Pro
gressive candidate for governor OF
New York State. He was also infiu-
ential in the workings of the Pro
gressive national convention last
August, and in many other ways has
become one of the national leaders
of the new movement.

sprinklers and they were distributed
