PATERSON, Nov. 30:—After ; ’oil'; cession in this city, it was an n turned yesterday that the Hebrew K ■'le.-iautical Hoard of the Unitec ,i . lias decided (hat tlie Congre \.i" i • ',’iiai Brith shall abolish tin t vo Kosher butcher shops which I recently established: that the ortho dox congregations of (lie city musl subscribe $1,000, in consideration ol which a local rabbi shall remove Ic another city, and that three of Hit live authorized slayers of kosher meat ;il present employed here musl lie removed and three others appoint ed. Until recently almost all the kosh er meal used here was killed in New York city. There was only one or thodox rabbi in Ihe city, he being connected with I lie Congregation Ahamiiih Joseph. A local house un dertook to supply kosher meat, a rabbi coming to the city daily to oversee tile slaughtering. There was no trouble until the Congregation B'nai Brith decided to have a rabbi for its own place of worship. The now rabbi had not been here long when he announced that the laws of the church had been disregarded in the preparation of kosher meal. This caused dissension in the church. Al though most of the congregation stood by the rabbi, fifty members de rided lo sever their relations. Those who remained loyal, together" with the rabbi, proceeded to open twe butcher shops for the sale of meal that laid been properly slaughtered The senders planned to establish s church of their own and began tc look tor a suitable site. Then tlu other orthodox congregations took u hand in the matter and tried to effect a settlement of the dispute, but, fall ing, called on the Ecclesiastical Board lo decide the question. The decision of the board settles the kosher meat question, but it has no effect op the split in the Congrega tion B’nai Brith, as the members who bolted have decided to form a new congregation.

I., Nov. 30.—Ethel Smith, the little flfteen-year-oM daugb ! ter of Special Policeman I.cauder | Smith; is under arrest at the home of Chief of Police Howland Kimball here charged with killing Ulmer Briggs, a resident of this town, j The circumstances of the killing were such that after iicing obliged to arrest the child Chief Kimball took her to Ins house, gave her a Thanksgiving dinner and declared that she would no! go to jail so long as she wus under Ids jurisdiction. The tragedy was the culmination of an estrangement between Briggs and his wife. About two weeks ago Briggs is alleged to have deserted ids wife, leaving her without means to support herself and her three small children. I Special Officer Smith, who Is a well | known farmer, took pity upon (lie des ; Tltute woman, and he and his wife re ceived Mrs. Briggs and her children Into their home and were arranging ' to send them to the home of Mrs. Briggs’ brother, who lives in Nlnntle. During tlie absence of Smith. Briggs arrived at the Smith house and de manded admission, which was refused by Charles Halliday, a colored cook, the only man about the premises at the time. Briggs threatened to make trou ble, and Halliday started to bring Chief of Police Kimball to the scene. her children, Mrs. Smith and Ethel j The women and children, fearing that j Kriggs would force an entrance, locked i all tile doors and windows and btoilt j barricades of chuirs. Ethel procured her father's revolver, ; a as caliber weapon. As soon as Hiilll j day was out of sight Briggs again de i mnnded admittance. This being re fused. lie drew a large carving knife from beneath his coat and cut away flie netting from the screen on the front door. He then'srnashed n pane of glass ^n file door, reached Ills arm oil the inside, turned the key in the | lock and threw back the bolt. As he started to enter the house Ethel warned him that she would shoot. Briggs paid no attention to the child's words, and ns lie forced the door open the little girl tired two.shots at him, both bullets lodging in Ills body. Briggs hesitated for a moment and then kept oil. The child fired lliree more shots, every bullet taking* effect, and Briggs staggered back and fell dead on the steps. Chief Kimball was obliged to arrest the child, but all of those who were at the house at the time of the shooting say that when Briggs approached the house he was muttering throats to kil' his wife and children. NEW JERSEY'S BIGGEST PORKER IN NEW MARKET. Weighs Nearly 1,000 Pounds; They Are Calling it. Caruso Now. Persons interested in the cultiva tion of porcine embonpoint, known in rural circles as fattenin’ hogs, would get a hit of pleasurable ex citement out of a visil to C. T. Rog ers' barn in New Market. Mr. Rog ers has a hog in one of the stalls that is the sort, the visitors at a country fair talk about for months after the event. It is the biggest hog in this section of the slate, and Mr. Rogers does not believe there is anything in the pork line to match it in all New Jer 1 sey. The hog weighs nearly 1,000 pounds and will dress between 700 and R00 pounds. It will be slaugh tered in January or February. Mr. Rogers got the hog a year ago, when il was only about half its pres ent size. The porcine patriarch— il is a hoar—cuts eighteen quarts of corn a day, and each rising of the sun finds il four pounds heavier. A wrt-ii agu ii. iuuiy iuu i men-nuuufi men—to throw It. The New York papers reach New Market, and the Rogers family has taken to calling the hog Caruso. Mr. Rogers is an expert hog raiser and chicken fancier. He is famed as a hog butcher in two stales, hav ing wielded the knife in his old home in Pennsylvania with marked suc cess. __# NO CONTEST PROPOSED SAYS \V. II. GOURLEY. PATERSON,' Nov.

LONELY DAY. Herkimer Prisoner Alleged to Have Made a Confession— m STalks of the Tragedy. HKItKl.MEK. N'. V., Nov. 30,-Cbestcr E. Gillette, the young man now on trial here charged with the murder of Grace Brown, his sweetheart, spent a lonely Thanksgiving day in Ills cell In the county jail. He received no visitors, his keepers having been given strict orders to permit no one to go to bis cell. Hut even in bis loneliness Gil lette welcomed the respite from the trying ordeal which began In earnest Wednesday when he went on the wit ness stand to tell his own story of that tragic day on Big Moose lake, for nearly seven hours he withstood a vol ley of questions, at first friendly, when his c ounsel had him in hand, and later antagonistic, when the district attorney faced him for the- long cross examina tion. Gillette was tired, worn and vatry pale when the adjournment was taken, and even the- severest part of the questioning remained. The holiday gave the youthful pris oner an opportunity to regain his com posure and to fortify himself for the real struggle, which will come when the cross examination is resumed, i* There are different opinions here as to the effect of his testimony Wednes day. Some are Arm in the belief that by his story the prisoner lost Ids bat tle for freedom and that a verdict of murder, ut least In the second degree, is almost sure to follow. Others, how ever, assert that Gillette's story nc mony which tin* district attorney brought forth anil explained the prls I oner's every net. One thing Is certain, however, which is that whether or not tlie prisoner convinced the jury that lie was not directly responsible for Grace Brown's dentil, lie did convince every one In the courtroom that lie was indirectly responsible for it. In ids cross examination the district j attorney made Gillette acknowledge j that lie accomplished the girl's ruin I nfter repented resistance on her part. Gillette also said that talk of mar ‘ riage had never come up between I them, and his own story established j the fact that it was because she was j desperate because of her condition and ] the circumstances which Gillette had I brought upon her that she jumped into the la^e to her death. Relentlessly waving a powerful chain i of evidence around Gillette. District j Attorney Ward today played the pros- . edition's trump card at the resumption of the trial in the testimony of a Her kimer jull attache who is suhl to have overheard the prisoner tell liis lawyers that he had struck the girl after her plunge inte the water.
