PRICE ONE CENT. ~ EMMET'S BIRTH Anniversary of Ireland,s Martyr Celebrated By the Wolfe Tone and Clan-na-Gael Clubs. PROMINENT JERSEYMEN PRESENT — Address By the Father Sheehy —Eulogy of Ireland Great Orator Grattan. The celebration of the one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the birth of Robert Emmet, held at Elks’ Hall last night, under the auspices of the Wolf ^Fone Club Clan-na-Gael, drew an audi ence that taxed the large auditorium. An admission fee of twenty-five cents was charged and the proceeds goes toward the g^eral cause of the freedom of Ireland. There were some brilliant addresses,'and the audience was intensely enthusiastic. The event wgs just slightly marred by a difference of opinion between the Rev. Eugene Sheehy, of Limerick, Ireland, who was down on the programme for an oration, and Hon. John M. Wall, who delivered an address. Many prominent men were seated on the stage, among who were noticed:— Former Mayor Hoos, Street and Water Commissioners Hauck, Sullivan and No >au. uniformed members of the Irish Vol unteers, with Captain William Barry, members of the committee, and those who \ figured on the programme. Robert Davis came in a trifle late, but was escorted to a prominent seat on the platform. Police Justice James J. Murphy pre sided. In a brief address he thanked the audience for their attendance, and said that it was the least that could be done to honor the memory of such a noble patriot as Robert Emmet. He spoke of the life of Emmet and eulogized him Iff the highest terms. He recited the long struggle of Ireland for independence and dre\d a comparison between the sev en hundred years of war which the coun try had unceasingly and bravely fought, with the two great wars of this country —the Revolution and the Rebellion. While the wars of the United States were long and bitter struggles, they could in no way compare with those' of Ireland. In fact three is no history extant which tells of any wars which can equal those of the Irish people. In closing his address he stoted that he firmly believed that Ireland would one day be free. And reached a poetic climax in the assertion that “The next Jewel which liberty adds to The Justice took his seat amid ap plause. her crown will be an emerald.” Miss Catherine Griffin sang sweetly as a soprano solo, “The Harp That Once Through Tara’s Halls.” Michael Nolan also sang a selection and Assemblyman James J. Hamill recited Emmet’s Speech frem the Dock. Mr. J;'M. Wall was down on the pro gramme for an address on “The Life of Emmet.” Mr. Wall’s address was de vited in a measure to the Irish struggle and the great part Emmet played in it, but he interjected many brilliant sallies of wit. I was his denunciation of Hepry Grattan and remarks concerning John D. Crimmins that led the Rev. Sheehy to take issues with him. Mr. Wall had said Humors feed on humors—the sooner you get rid af them the better—Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the medicine to take. r ^ oCawyers - ~ *2)& string expedition, ' neat work and . • • accuracy in iko printing of Xaw *li/orJc ..» »■•- 1 1 1 ■yL??"

Crimmins, after a recent trip through Irel and returned to this country and declared for publication that the Irish people were true to King Ed ward of England and said that he lied. Father Sheehy did not like Mr. Wall’s speech and somewhat bitterly attacked it. Mr. Wall denied he used words/other than those of a gnetleman. Ho said his remark was that John D. Crimmins had falsely represented the masses of the Irish people in saying they were loyal to King Edward. The Rov. Father Sheehy said Henry Grattan was one of the most loyal work ers for Catholic emancipation. He spoke of the inside life of Robert Emmet and his association with “Tom” Moere. He claimed that Moore received many ideas from Emmet. 'Tie spoke of Emmet’s high social standing and the many comforts, pleasures and benefits which he gave* for. Ireland’s cause. “The men of ’48” and“The men of ’98” were touched brilliantly upon by several of the speakers. Afte ra song by Mr. John Wilson the audience, in concluding the celebration, sang “God Save Ireland,” accompanied by David Moylan. The speakers were banquetted later on. The affair was well arranged by a com mittee consisting of:—Thomas Reynolds, chairman; James T.jFallon, William M. Barry, R. J. McMullin, Thomas Keirse, John Egan, James B. McKiernan, John Lazarus. Captain John, J. O’Keefe, Jas. F. Brennan, John Corcoran and John J'. Hayes. ■— - ♦ — WANT A HIGHER PRICE. % ✓ Application in Chancery to Have Sale of Newark Ave nue Property Set Aside. Lawyer Earle Insley on behalf of the former owners of the property No. 81 Newark avenue corner of Henderson street, applied to Vice Chancellor Pitney this moaning for an order to set aside the recent sale of the property to Eman uel Gross. Gross bought -the property at auction for $22,050. After i thad been knocked down to him It is said Mr. John Muulins, the well known furniture deal er said he would have given $23,000 The original owners now ask that the sale be set aside onthe ground that the highest bid was' not obtained at the sale.

William H. Corbin, counsel for the company, claimed that Farry had de clared that he would cut down the poles which the company had erected in front of his land unless the company gave him free telephone service. As the company had complied withlalllthe reuirements of law in such.cases.'Mr. Corbin said, it did not feel as though it should comply with Farry’s request and refused to grant him free service. Peter Runty, counsel for Farry, eitod esses in attempt to show that Farry,>hsd the right to refuse to’ al low the poles in front of his property, but the Court disagreed with him and grant ed the injunction.

THREE DESPERADOES Unusal Precautions Taken to Prevent Repetition of Former Outrages. Charles Smith, Leo Davis and Henry Johnson, as the three alleged robbers of the Carlstadt, Bergen County, post office are known, were placed on trial in the Court of General Sessions this morning on indictments charging them with hav ing burglar’s tools in their possession when captured in this city early on the morning of February 26 last. Despite clean shaves and neatly combed hair the appearance of the trio did not create a favorable impression as they took their seats at the prisoners’ table, on the opposite side of which sat their counsel, Lawyer Joseph M. Noonan. Unusual precautions were taken by the court officers during the time the three alleged desperadoes were in the court room. While they sat in the “pen,” as the first row of seats outside the railed enclosure is known, two constables stood at either end of the row, and when they were removed to the defendant’s table no one was permitted to occupy seats dear them. The courtroom was crowded when Prosecutor William H. Speer called the case for trial. Some duffieulty was ex perienced in obtaining a jury, both srdes offering many challenges. , The State’s representative briefly out lined the case against the three defend ants, vflio, when captured, had in their possession five revolvers, ten steel drills, • a bit, a number of iron books and other alleged burglarious tools. William Nelson Hamilton, the conduc tor of the Jersey City, Hoboken and Pat erson Street Railway car on which the three alleged robbers rode from Secaucus to this city, was the first witness called. He said that they did not sit together but made no effort to create the impres sion that they did no know noe anoher. They boarded the car at Sunnyside, this side of the bridge. One paid the fare for the three. There were two other passen gers on the car. The witness said that Policeman Thos. Garrick boarded the car at Harrison street. His story was corroborated by James Walsh, the motorman. Officer Garrick, whose clever capture of the trio, won for him the enconiums of his superiors, repeated the already pub lished story of the sensational scenes at the ferry, when he placed the three al leged desperadoes under arrest and at the station house, when two of the prisoners attempted to shoot their captors. Prosecutor Speer attempted to limit the stories of the witnesses to the facts as to the alleged burglarious oois, buf in the recitals portions of the story of the sensational attempts to escape crept in. Garrick told how Davis had put his revolver to his, the witness’s, jaw' as they ■ / i were about entering the station house, and how he had knocked his would-be murderer unconscious with the butt end of his revolver. All the pistols and tools taken from the prisoners Were exhibited and offered for identification. Officer John Gerken, who arrested Smith, told of getting him in the ferry house where he had fled after Garrick had ordered the trio under arrest. He walked with his prisoner in advance of a citizen named John Claypool, who had Davis in custody. Garrick came behind them with johnson. Gerken corroborated his brother offi cer’s story of the arrest and told of searching Smith and finding cartridges, a gimlet and some money in his possession. The prisoner went to the station house without resisting. He asked once what he was being arrested1 for and‘Gerken re plied that he did not know. Officer Phelan gave unimportant testi t mony concerning the arrest, and Officer John McKenna told of the searching *of Davis while the latter was still uncon scious from the blow’s administered by Garrick in the station house. He got a handful of cartridges, an eye screw, some money and a partly filled bottle of whis key. v When McKenna wag washing the blood from'Davis’ head the prisoner said:— “I’d hill him te get away.” The wit pesa said he answer*!, “Yo^ fee very foolish to do that,” aud Daris then re marked, ‘‘What do you think I am a p«tit lar ceny thief. There is nothing in chilled .steel in the country that 1 caa’t get through.” Roundsman Owen Kilduff repeated the story of the occurrences at the fetation house, where he was behind the desk when the trio were brought-in. Smith, he said, had his hand in hi# overcoat pooket, and he ordered him to take ft out. He did so and brought a pistol out with his hand. Tools and a sum of mouey were also taken from the prisoner. The ease was still iu at recess. ELEVENlfTlURES \ - _ Wholesale Application for .Alimony Made to V- G. Stevenson Today* v That marital infelicity is .on the in crease in this State was amply demon strated this morning when eleven sep arate and distinct applications for ali mony and counsel fee s were made to Vice Chancellor Stevenson. Nine of; the cases were based on violation of marriage vows, while the question fdr the other two was desertion. The propensity ; of Frank Hentzel to brag and endeavor to impress upon his fellows the potency of his arts to charm women is what got him into trouble. One day he told his wife’s brother how he met a real Coun tess at Coney Island who was so affected by his winning ways that she surrendered unconditionally to his powers of ►fascin ation. The brother it appears had no better sense thanto 'tell his sister all that her husband had told him and she lost no time in retaining a lawyer to tile bill against Hertzel for divorce on what is spoken of as “statutory grounds.” She also obtained an order for ali mony and when ber husband’s failure to obey it she had him clapped into the Hudson County Jail. His mother persu aded a neighbor to go on his bond and he was discharged. Ex-Assemblyman Wal scbeid appealed to Vice Chau'cellor Stev- ' enson this morning for an order purging the young man from contempt. He sub mitted affidavits to show that Hertzle had been ill for some time, had only just obtained a position and was paying up the alimony as rapidly as his regal salary would permit. In view of this fact the Vice Cancelor ordered that hereafter Hertzel pay his wife $4 per week and that the bond un der which he was released from the Hudson Cinnty Jail be continued. Jas. Riddle, for many years a member of the Jersey City Fire'Department, whose chief claim to distinction that he drove the gig of the late Chief Farrier to the fire at which the Chief was killed some time ago, was another victim of the alimony habit. His wife obtained an order against him to pay her $15 a month and when he ignored the order he went to the County Jail. Two months there was enough for him and on November 15 last he paid up and was discharged. His wife through her counsel applied to the Court this morning for another order to lock him up but on motion of counsel the mat ter went over for a week. -• A Guaranteed Core tor Piles.

Cor iel Seek to Recover a House From His , Widow. * \ SAY THE1RFATIER GAYEITTO THEM All Hands Live in It But the Question Arises Who Col lects the Rent Vice-Chancellor Pitney is hearing to day the suit instituted by the children of the late Richard B. Coriel, to recover frem their stepmother possession of the house No. 22 Chestnut avenue. The chil dren are Mrs. Alice B. Van Tassel, Mrs. Mary B. Taylor, Miss Florence Codiel and Henry C. and Richard Coriel. The hcildran began proceedings to eject their stepmother from the house on January 23 last, claiming that she had no right to the premises. The children claim that the property was given to them by their father before -he married a second time. The tfansfer to the children was made in 1888 and Mr. Coriel did not marry his secoud wife until 1896, two years later. The deed, however, was not recorded un til 1890. Lawyer William A. Lewis rep resented the widow, and ex-Police Justice J- Herbert Petts appeared for the chil dren. Judge Potts said that the children had in the presence of their father always referred to the premises as “our house.” The father, he said, intended that 'they should have it. as their mother had as sisted him in acquiring the property. The Coriels are still living in the house but, as the ownership is in dispute, no rents are being paid. Mrs. Coriel claims she lias a right to collect rent from the children and the latter claim they' have a right to collect from her. -* WEATHER INDICATIONS* NEW YORK, March 16, 1903.—Fore cast for the thirty-six hours ending 8 P.
