Mrs. Mary Hansen, ahas Gibson, Clark. Kins, Westhail and almost every name one can think of. who-has been confounded with Mrs. Ellon Peek in the swindling or Dr. Christopher -Lott, of Brooklyn, out of $10,000, this- morning surrendered herself ‘to CMef- of Police MUrphy of this city. The police -of New York and Brooklyn have for-more--than a week been looking for Mrs.- Hansen. They believed her to- be the famous con fidence woman. Mrs Ellen Peck who* startled the police of the large cities a few years ago by swindling'the Banbitt family out of $20,000. At about that time Mrs. Mary Hansen appeared on the scene and she proved quite as clever as Mrs. Peck. She was equally clever and A.-h nrrtfttoKld Tt hliqinPRR. AWflV back in 1S7C Mrs. Hdftsen appeared in this city. Among her victims were Hcir * ace Farrier and ether prominent resi dents. Mrs. Hansen's game at that time was to borrow mondy IA aftticipatlojl Of; the collection of 5500,*WO. Which had been left her by a priest lh Germany. Her story was swallowed* Without salt, prob ably because Cardin&t McCloskey was : supposed to be. getting the money for her The mention of the Cardinal's name brought her anywhere froth ” 51.TJQ0* *to 52.500 each trip. Mrs. Hansen finally dis appeared. A lot of Jersey City gold went with her. Chief Murphy traced her to Philadelphia and arrested her. Imme diate!? after her arrest if was found that verai wealthy* Philadelphians- had been .indled by her. . She vas removed to this city for trial. Counsellor Charles Wnfield: now Prose cutor defended her. His defense was-that it was impossible for a woman to swindle such shrewd men as he was * accused of doing. She was acquired. Mr. Hansen was then 45 years old. Chief * Miifphy heard of her frequently afteb that. * ‘She was at her old tricks ahd was' doih'g a flourishing business. “When *fh6* Dr'. Lott case came to the surface the Chief recognized the handwriting of h'is old friend Mrs. Hansen. Yesterday when the police were getting pretty close to Hansen she sent word to Chief Murphy that she would meet him at the Annex ferry on this side of the river at nine, o’clock, surrender and allow him to take her to Brooklyn. The Chief communi cated with the Brooklyn authorities at once and directed them to havfe a detective on a certain boat, further announcing that if his instructions were carried out he woud deliver to them the alleged swindler of Dr. Lott. The information caused surprise in Brooklvn police circles. At the appointed hour Mrs. Hansen put in an appearance looking, Chief Murphy says, younger than she did twenty years ago when f he ar rested her. ,, . ., “I am not afraid of police, she said, •‘only I wanted you to take me to the PrA.,irivn T wanted to show them that I am not afraid to face this absura cnacge. I admit having obtained; $10,000 from Dr. Lott, but he bas my notes for L and I am srure if the Doctor werfe alive he would not think of prosecuting tnis easel The money I obtained as a lpan. “If is strange.” she finally said.: “that whenever I gpt in trouble I have tq come to you. Chief.” When the woman was delivered 50 the Brooklyn police about seventy-five Repor ters made a l$ig howl because Chief Mur phy had appaTently imparted to a certain paper the information that Mrs. Hansen Would surrender herself to him this morn ing. In the presence of the reporters Mrs. Hansen admitted that she had disposed of that information to an advantage to the paper in question. On three occasionsjMrs. Hansen procured $2,500, S10.00Q and $12,000 respectively. The woman has relatives in this city. __ BARBER GEH RING’S SUICIDE.

'__ BEPOBLICAN COMMITTEE TO BUILD Plans Now RraAr lor the New Struc ture on Psvonls Avenue. The Hudson County Republican Com mittee is soon to have a brand new homo of its own on the corner of the Boulevard and Pavonia avenue, and will also be a legally Incorporated society. That was definitely settled last night at a special meeting called for the purpose of passing on a resolution authorizing the trustees to file a certificate .of incorporation for ‘ The Hudson County Republican Com mittee.” This resolution went through nem con. and was enthusiastically received. To carry out its effect these trustees Ifave been empowered:—Ex-Mayor P. F. Wan ser, Edward W. Woolley, Samuel D. Dickinson, Michael Schultz, Jr.. Thomas McEwan. Jr., John J. Erwin, J. J. Tnffey, J. MeComb. F. Angel. T. Coughlin, E. W. Demarest and Charles Eichhorn. The trustees have already secured plans for the new building. The lot on. which it will stand is 50x125 feet, and the build ing will run the full depth and have 35 feet frontage on the Boulevard. It is to be a frame, three-storied structure of the Queen Anne style of architecture, and when finished will be exceedingly hand some. The main hall will be on the sec ond floor with a seating capacity of 500. Here will be held the regular County Committee meetings, conventions, lec tures and entertainments. There will be a stage in the hall. The next floor will contain cloak and hat rooms and here the janitor will have his apartments. The first floor will be divided into committee rooms in which during the campaigns clerks will do the requisite work for elections. . This will do away. with the former practice of hiring rooms in different quarters of the city for that purpose. The steam heating apparatus and electric light plant will find a place on this floor. When the in corporation papers are filed the trustees Will at once push the work of erection and it is hoped that the new building will be ready in time for the fall election. Its opening will be the occasion of a great Republican gathering, to which will be invited the Governor and big and small Republican fry. The committee last night notified the election committeemen to send in their lists of election officers to Mr. Martin Pinck, who will supervise them before filing them with the County Board of Elections. __ Dear Glass and Chins !

A loud, roaring explosion startled the neighborhood of Willow avenue and Ferry street; Hoboken, shortly after 7 o’clock this morning. For a few min utes .the "residents of that vicinity were at a loss to know whence the noise came. The next minute they saw a man rush from the factory of It. Neumann & Co., at Ferry street and Willow avenue, and ring the fire alarm box. Scarcely a sec ond more had elapsed when flames began to shoot up over the board fence in the rear of the factory building, followed by two more explosions, which -were almost deafening. R. Neumann & Co. are tanners and manufacturers of leather goods. Their factory, a large brick building, occupies about a quarter of the block. The fire broke out in a small shed about ten feet high and twelve feet square, located In the rear yard, about fifty feet from the mam ouucing. inis sm-u is u»eu as a dressing room, where skins are cleansed in naphtha. A big tank, lined with zinc, was i,n the centre of the shed, and this was kept almost constantly filled with naptha and skins. About ten minutes after seven o'clock this morning, just after the- employes had started in to work. Louis Hunter brunk. 25 years old, a tanner in the fac tory, entered the shed to take out some skins. He had not been at work more than five minutes when there was a deaf ening explosion. The roof of the shed was blown oft and Hunterbrook was hurled over twenty feet into the yard, Charles Hunterbrook, a brother of Louis, and Jacob Boland, also employes, who were standing about thirty feet away from the shed, were blown completely off their feet by the concusSton, and Fore man. Vogel, who was walking over to the shed at the time, was scorched slight ly about the face. Following the first explosion came «two others in rapid suc cession and the men were so bewildered that for a time they could not under stand what had happened. When Foreman Vogel had recovered from the shock he looked about him and saw'Louis Hunterbrunk lying moaning in the yard where he had been hurled. Pick ing up the injured man Vogel dragged him from the raging flames, which were so fierce that they reached the main build ing and scorched the windows. Hunter brunk was badly injured and a number of other workmen who had run to his as sistance lost no time in getting him to the hospital. They did not wait fbr an ambulance but secured a horse and car riage from Contractor Patrick Flaherty and hurried the injured man off to St. Mary’s Hospital. Hunterbrunk's brother and Boland, although badly shaken up, escaped with a few slight burns on the hands and Foreman Vogel’s injuries did not compel him to quit work. All hands then set about to extinguish the fire, which was in danger of spreading to the other buildings. The firemen were soon on the scene and had Several ! streams of water on the shed which had by this time been reduced ta a mass of charred timbers. The inflammable naphtha however, continued to burn with much fierceness. While Captain John Green, of their work a tongue o£ flame shot out from the shed and singed his eyebrows and face. The fire, however, was soon un der way and finally extinguished. There, were about ninety dozen skins of various kinds in the £hcd and the loss is estimated at over *1.000. Hur.terbrunk is badly burned about the face and arms. It was said at the hospital this morning that his condition was critical.

Peddler’s Strange Disappearance Ex* plained by a Farmer’! Find. [Special to “The Jersey City News.“J BELVIDERE, July 20, 1897.—What is now believed to be the ghastly explana tion of a peddler’s mysterious disappear ance has been revealed by the find madei by a delver in the soil of the Great Meadows, Warren county. Nearly fifty years ago old John Sim monds, a peddler of novelties, sought lodging one stormy night with a farmer living at that time on the outskirts of the town of Vienna. That was the last ever heard of him. Together with his wagon and stock of goods he disappear ed as completely as if the earth had opened and swallowed him. Suspicion became directed toward the farmer who had harbored him over night, but nothing wad ever proven im plicating him with the disappearance of the peddler. The latter’s horse, after a search, was found tied in a clump of I woods about two miles away. The neighbors made it so uncomfort able for the suspected man that he finally disposed of his possessions, and., it is said, went to Canada. The peddler and his supposed strange fate soon be came forgotten. A day or two ago a prominent farmer living near Vinna decided to secure some peat in the Great Meadows. In turning over the soil his spade struck some had substance, which, being un earthed. proved to he the rim of a wagon wheel. Continuing his search, a number of bones were revealed, together with several old Jewsharps. rusty mouth organs, a box of old penknives, shears and the general outfit of a peddler’s cart. Recollecting the Story of the unex plained end of Simmonds, years ago. the, farmer notified his neighbors, and a good sized crowd congregated about thel spot. ., The bones were cafefully put together and by the addition of a skull which had, been upturned, the almost perfect frame | of a human being tVas formed. Exami-; nation of the skull showed that it had, been crushed in evidently by a blow. Further excavations will be made in, the hope of finding the remainder of mo wagon and something which may give' : direct evidence of a struggle. That tho find fully proves that the *nM neither met his death bv violence, ■ there is secarcely any doubt here, but, : owing to the long lapse Of years and thei i unreliable knowledge now possessed; concerning the case, it is doubtful if any effort will be made toward an official investigation.

The census of 1S90 credited New York vith an Italian population or 39,951. which las not been reduced in the last seven .’ears. Mulberry Bend Park borders on 1 representative Italian quarter. In that •egion Italian signs, Italian shops, and :talian bankers abound; Italian mothers end their children, usually busying them- i elves with something else at the same I ime; Italian laborers, for the moment i memployed, sit on -the benches, or talk j ogether, usually with some apparent ex- ! :itement, in groups in the street. Where here are Italians In numbers there is >ound to be animation, and the Mulberry ;trc-et side of the Mulberry Bend Park s one of the most animated centres of Slew York. Most of the Italians in New York are 'ery poor and are ill-housed and coarsely i ed. and have much apparently to lower , heir spirits. But they seem never to eel any worse than they can help. They ire industrious and very frugal, and save noney. Some of it they gamble away, ind some is stolen from them by swln Uers, but a good deal stays by them, dost of them were pinched by poverty it home before they came to New York, ind knew worse things than they expe ience here. That seems to help their ihilosophv. At any rate, no part of the >opulation of New York endures hard ihips with better grace or adapts itself pore patiently and easily to its environ ner.t. If there is a chance to be happy, he Ttalian is prompt to improve it. If hero is a chance to be miserable, he icglcets it as far as ho can. His wife ind his children are like him in these inrticulars.
