Historic House in Caldwell
to Be Destroyed as Menace

Deemed a constant menace to the
community because of Its age and I'M
inhabitable condition, large frame
building in Bloomfield avenue, Cald-
well, which has long been a landmark
as the late President Cleveland's
birthplace, is doomed to destruction.
The building, which is said to be more
than century and quarter old, is
to be torn down.
Interesting history clings to the old
house, which was erected as a par
sonage by the congregation of the
Presbyterian Church of "Horseneck.'
Later the upper part of the building
was used as a sanctuary In later
years the structure passed to the sis
tiers of Mount st. Dominic Academy
and was made a convent and board
ing school after the original convent
at Essex Fells had been destroyed by
fire.
Since that time the structure has
been used as a hotel, a part of the
Newark City Home, an athletic club.
boarding house, for business offices,
an office for the Coldwell borough col
lector of taxes and at present a por-
ton of the house is used as the office
of Building Inspector Lynn G. Lock
ward.

1879 ARRESTS IN
COPPER STRIKE
Prisoners Taken TO Jail in Spe-
ciaI Cars, Guarded by
Troops.

CALUMET. Mich, Oct. 24.-One
hundred and elghty-nine arrests of
striking copper miners were made
this morning by the militia in the
Copper City, Allouez, Mohawk district
The prisoners, who are charged with
violation of the injunction against
picketing, were taken to Houghton in
special cars, guarded by troops, and
will be given hearing late today be-
fore Circuit Judge O'Brien. One hun
dred and twenty-five of the arrests
were made at Copper City and AL
louez and sixty-four at the Mohawk
mine.
The arrests followed the issuance by
Judge O'Brien of an order to Sheriff
Cruise and his deputies to enforce the
injunction and employ what power
and assistance might be necessary to
bring before the court any persons
found violating the injunction. The
courts order was prompted by the
general lawlessness of yesterday.
There are now $50 prisoners in the
custody of the sheriff of Houghton
county. No trouble was experienced
by the troops in making the captures.

ASKED TO
DEC|DEFOR HEIR
Elizabeth Boy Has Two Courses
to Claim Property Left
by NeWarker.

An interesting contest over Will
was heard today before Viee-Chancei-
Tor Howell. when the court was asked
to decide for an infant heir which
course the latter should take In act
ing upon a conditional legacy.
Several years ago Mrs. Marie 5
kleb died here and left will giving
specific legacies to the Kleb heirs
She also made the condition that,
in accepting her legacy, the heirs
should sign a document relinqulshinS
any right which they might have ac-
ouired IN the estate of her dead hus-
band. under any will he might have
left.
Before receiving a legacy, John
Daniel Kleb. one of the heirs, died.
He left an infant son, John hlep,
who is now about fourteen years old
and resides with an aunt in Eliza
beth. 1t is the disposition of his
property that is being argued.
The present action is brought by
Ernest L. Keer and Mrs Sophie
Marx. executors of Mrs. Kleb's will
They petition the court to elect for
the infant. whether he will sign the
release and accept the $1,000 legacy,
or choose TO retain any interest the
infant might have in the estate of the
later Peter Kleb. The executors
pointed out that the other heirs had
all signed the release and accepted
their legacies. IL would be for the
best interest of the Elizabeth boy to
do the same. they argue, because his
equity in the estate of Peter Kleb
amounts to little or nothing.
Members of the firm of Lum, Tam
blyn s Colyer. representing the in
FAINT, held that they had the right
to attack the legality of the original
will of Peter Kleb as 1t was not valid
The executors claim that even IL this
document is not valid it should be
upheld as Il trust or contract. II was
brought out that the will OF Peter
Kleb, who died here four years ago,
resulted in a suit between the widow,
Mrs. Kleb, and the Kleb heirs.
This suit resulted in court decl-
sion to the effect that the Peter kleb
will was invalid and that the title
of the property at S42 Broad street,
now occupied by Achtel-Stevers res
taurant, was in the possession or Mrs.
Kleb by virtue of an anti-nuptial
agreement. 1t is claimed by those
representing the Elizabeth heir that
the validity of the will as a contract
was not passed upon by the Court OF
Errors and Appeals when the decision
in favor of Mrs. Kleb was made.
Vice--Chancellor Howell announced
that he would allow counsel for both
sides to submit briefs on the right
to attack the legality of the original
WIFI as a contract
